Chapter 283 Anger

Behind the two, Su Mei landed on the ground.

Looking at the towering trees that blocked out the sky, Su Mei felt a chill creep into her heart for no reason, as if something in the mountains was observing her.

"Haven't you been here before?"

Xiao Fan noticed Su Mei's gaze sweeping around, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and asked curiously.

Judging from Su Mei's previous statement, Xiao Fan thought that the Yin Bone Elder had invited her and the leader of the Mad Lion Gang to this place, so she should be very familiar with it. However, judging from her current curious expression, it doesn't seem like she has been here before.

"No."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Su Mei shook her head and explained, "The Yin Bone Elder attaches great importance to this place. Even the pawns I placed within his Tianyin Sect have never been heard of entering this place."

"Oh?"

After listening to Su Mei's words, Xiao Fan turned his gaze to the mountain range, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Such a secluded place, yet it was announced so openly, and there were even mazes and trapping formations inside. Xiao Fan became even more curious about the Yin Bone Elder.

With his doubts in mind, Xiao Fan examined the formations within the mountain range.

This formation wasn't particularly advanced; Xiao Fan could easily break it with his own strength, not to mention that You Ruo was also by his side.

However, if they used brute force to break the formation, it would inevitably alert the Yin Bone Elder. Su Mei also said that the Yin Bone Elder was most afraid of death, and it would be bad if they let him escape because of this.

Therefore, Xiao Fan did not intend to dismantle it by force.

With his outstanding soul power, Xiao Fan easily led the two of them out of the formation's constraints.

"It seems like this is it."

Led by Xiao Fan, the three walked through the mountains for a while and finally appeared in front of a pit hidden in a large tree.

Having already sensed that there was no danger around, Xiao Fan nodded to the two of them as he looked at the cave entrance that appeared before him, and then jumped into it.

Upon entering the pit, Xiao Fan faintly sensed a strange, pleasant fragrance, but he frowned.

The subtle fragrance that reached Xiao Fan's nose felt like a mixture of many different scents, which instead of bringing pleasure, made him somewhat irritated.

Following closely behind Xiao Fan, You Ruo noticed the scent in the air. A cold expression rose on her pretty face, and she waved her hand to shut out the scent.

After entering the pit, there is a tunnel about ten meters long, with many glowing stones embedded in the surrounding walls, illuminating the dark cave.

As they moved forward, the view ahead of the tunnel was fully revealed to Xiao Fan and his group.

"This is......"

Upon seeing the scene revealed beyond the tunnel, Xiao Fan's face showed a look of horror, which was immediately followed by a strong killing intent.

Upon seeing this scene, You Ruo's face turned even colder.

At the end of the tunnel, what came into Xiao Fan's view were two huge pools of blood on the left and right sides.

Each blood pool was about three zhang long and two zhang wide, and its depth was impossible to see due to the bright red blood that filled it.

However, hanging above the pool of blood were rows of female corpses that were no longer human.

Each corpse was ravaged, covered with a dense array of scars.

Drops of blood seeped from the wounds on these corpses, then continued to spread down and drip into the blood pool below.

Inside the blood pool, billowing blood vapor continuously emanated. Then, amplified by the surrounding array, it continued to spread deeper into the pool.

Such a sight shocked not only Xiao Fan, but even Su Mei, who had roamed the Black Corner Region for so many years.

There are at least thirty corpses above the blood pool at this moment, and they all seem to have been dead for only a short time.

Because their wounds were still constantly oozing blood.

Su Mei covered her mouth with trembling hands, and only by circulating her powerful battle qi could she suppress the discomfort in her heart.

"Humph."

Xiao Fan stared silently at the corpses hanging on either side, his eyes filled with a deep killing intent.

His right hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, and the veins bulged out from under his sleeve.

His pair of dark eyes, now like two deep, bottomless pools, radiated a furious rage that seemed to devour anyone who might harm them.

With a flick of his finger, a jet-black flame shot out from Xiao Fan's hand, then spread rapidly, burning all the corpses on both sides to nothingness.

Then, black flames spread into the blood pool, burning the blood pools on both sides to ashes, leaving only two empty, deep pits.

At the bottom of the deep pit, there were pale skeletons, many of which had been corroded to the point that only a small part remained. This further fueled Xiao Fan's anger.

Now it seems that what Su Mei said before, that the Yin Bone Elder's cultivation method involved feeding on the blood and energy of young girls, was probably not unfounded.

Xiao Fan took a deep breath, waved his hand to gently move the skeletons at the bottom of the two deep pits, and then stepped forward again.

You Ruo followed behind Xiao Fan without saying a word, but her aura gradually turned cold, causing Su Mei behind her to tremble and break out in a cold sweat.

After passing through the blood pool, the tunnel ahead was similar to the one before. However, the tunnel and the ground were now covered with exquisite runes, which were the blood energy drawn from the blood pool.

This blood energy, following these runes, continued to spread deeper into the cave.

Looking at the bloody aura emanating from the surroundings, Xiao Fan calmly walked forward. However, he had already made a decision in his mind regarding how to deal with the Yin Bone Elder.

The fact that the Yin Bone Elder practiced such a cruel and inhumane technique already demonstrates that he treated human life and ordinary people as if they were animals.

There is not a trace of human form in his mind.

Xiao Fan had no intention of taking this person under his wing, whether because of the person's actions or because of Xiao Fan's own bottom line, he simply could not allow Xiao Fan to let him go.

To put it more deeply, it's the education he received in his previous life that instilled in Xiao Fan a profound reverence for life.

Xiao Fan couldn't agree with someone like the Old Man of Yin Bones who treated human lives like ants, as food for his own advancement.

Following the direction of the blood energy, it wasn't long before a spacious hall came into view for Xiao Fan and his group.

Inside the hall, countless array runes enveloped the entire space, and streams of pure blood energy emanated from these runes, continuously flowing towards the figure sitting cross-legged in the center.

In the center of the formation, an old man with white hair but no wrinkles on his face sat calmly at the intersection of the runes, his eyes closed.

The surging blood energy around them followed the runes on the ground and was then directly devoured by the old man.

After absorbing each wisp of blood essence, a look of satisfaction and greed would unconsciously appear on his face, even though his eyes were tightly closed.

It was as if they were savoring the most delicious dish in the world.

Seeing the old man's appearance, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Just then, the old man, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of killing intent flashed in his scarlet eyes as he questioned, "Who is it?"

Because of the isolation provided by the Chaos Fire, Xiao Fan and his group had not revealed their auras. However, the killing intent revealed in Xiao Fan's eyes at this moment startled the old man who was sitting cross-legged.

The old man's eyes were filled with horror.

The outer formation hadn't given him the slightest warning; the enemy had gotten right up to him. If it weren't for the killing intent emanating from them, he would have been...

Thinking of this, the old man showed a look of lingering fear on his face, and then looked at these uninvited guests.

"Su Mei?"

The old man of Yin bones did not recognize the two outstanding-looking men and women who had broken in, but he felt that their auras were somewhat unfathomable.

However, the Yin Bone Elder was an old acquaintance of the last person. As the leader of the Rakshasa Sect, what was Su Mei doing here?

"I wonder who these two are... Sect Leader Su, would you be so kind as to introduce me?"

The old man with the Yin Bone slowly stood up, glanced at Xiao Fan and You Ruo in front of him, and when he saw You Ruo, a hint of greed couldn't be hidden in his eyes. Such a top-quality woman... even Su Mei couldn't compare to her.

Concealing the look in his eyes, the old man with the sinister bones revealed a fake smile as he looked at the three people opposite him.

Su Mei glanced at Xiao Fan in front of her, and was about to speak when Xiao Fan interrupted her.

"No need. Why say so much to a dead person?"

Xiao Fan looked at the Yin Bone Elder with indifferent eyes, frowned, and then gently waved his hand. Dark flames spread from his body, burning away all the runes on the surrounding passage, and even the pure blood energy was reduced to nothing.

"You, stop!"

The old man with the Yin Bone looked at Xiao Fan's actions with a hint of heartache in his eyes.

These blood delicacies were top-quality items that he had finally found with great difficulty. Compared to the previous batch, they were many times purer. Now, this kid had completely ruined them. A trace of anger rose in the old man's heart.

Having dominated the Black Corner Region for so many years, when did it become the turn of a kid who hasn't even grown up yet to ride on my head?

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yin Bone Elder unleashed a powerful aura and launched a probing attack on Xiao Fan.

Although he was furious that Xiao Fan had ruined his hard work, he wasn't a brainless person.

Su Mei brought two people here; she probably doesn't have good intentions.

Su Mei's strength is at the peak of a three-star Dou Huang, and I am confident that I can defeat her if we really face her.

However, the old man with the dark bones had no confidence whatsoever regarding these two unfamiliar faces.

Chapter 284 Because he is unworthy of being human!

The oppressive aura emanating from the Yin Bone Elder vanished completely before Xiao Fan, like a stone sinking into a quagmire.

The old man with the Yin Bone looked at Xiao Fan's expression, which remained unchanged, and his expression shifted between light and dark.

This kid, who looks to be only in his early twenties, was actually able to block my attack?

The old man with the Yin Bone sensed the extraordinary aura emanating from Xiao Fan, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

Su Mei, that woman, and the stunningly beautiful woman behind her whom I've never seen before, all seem to be focused on this young man. If I can take him down immediately, I might be able to break through the encirclement with this hostage in hand.
