"Relocate!" He Feng's piercing voice appeared in Su Ming's head. That voice was filled with disbelief.
Su Ming did not make a sound. As he charged forward, he got closer to the man in red robes. He saw the red stone in the man's hands, saw the man's body rapidly becoming indistinct, and even saw the hint of a cold sneer on his lips.
3,000 feet, 2,700 feet, 2,400 feet … When the distance between Su Ming and the man was reduced to 2,000 feet, the man in red robes' body had already become mostly indistinct. Under the powerful red light, he was about to disappear. Su Ming lifted his head and a chilling glint appeared in his eyes.
He would never show mercy to those who wanted to kill him. This was what the elder had taught him. He would kill all dangerous people. If a beast revealed its fangs, then it would have to pay the price!
The moment the distance between the two of them was 2,000 feet, the mark of the small sword shone at the center of Su Ming's brows and turned into a ray of virescent light. With a speed that could not be seen with the naked eye, it turned into a piercing whistle and charged towards the man in red robes.
The man's body was almost completely transparent. The red light shone brightly and enveloped his body. There was a derisive look in his eyes as he closed his eyes. In his mind, when he opened his eyes once again, he would not see the person who killed Lin Dong. He would see his tribe members.
Yet the moment he closed his eyes, the man's body immediately trembled. When he opened his eyes, the small virescent sword pierced through his transparent body.
A shrill cry of pain reverberated in the air. The man's body was split into two. His upper body was sent away in a flash of red light, but the lower half of his body was cut in half by the small virescent sword and forced to stay in the place.
Blood spilled everywhere. Half of the man's body fell to the side.
The red light gradually dissipated and the area slowly returned to normal. Only the half of the man's body on the ground bore witness to everything that had happened just now. Su Ming went up to the half of the man's body and swept his gaze across it.
"He Feng, what did you say just now?" Su Ming looked slightly tired. The power of the small virescent sword was too great, but at the same time, the price to pay for using it was also not small. It was especially so when he used it in an area of 2,000 feet. It had used up almost 70% of the spiritual power in the path of blood in Su Ming's body.
However, Su Ming could clearly feel that the spiritual aura around him that he could absorb was much thicker here compared to the outside world. His recovery speed was also much faster. This made his desire towards Han Mountain's ancestor grow even stronger.
"Master, the man in red robes just now is a member of Lake of Colors Tribe. He's definitely not a guest. I don't know what the stone he took out earlier was, but it was clearly used for teleportation!
What was engraved on the stone should be … a teleportation array! It was just like how Master had been transported here by the power of the statue of the God of Berserkers from Tranquil East Tribe. However, Tranquil East Tribe could only use the statue, and they had to make sure that the Relocation Rune in the tunnel was complete.
But the member of Lake of Colors Tribe was not like that. He … he held a miniature Relocation Rune in his hand. Because of that, he could use the stone to teleport himself at any time and appear at a fixed spot in the area that Lake of Colors Tribe had set up!
"This … This is enough to prove that Lake of Colors Tribe has mastered the essence of Relocation!" He Feng had already calmed down and was analyzing the situation carefully for Su Ming.
"Even Han Mountain Tribe didn't manage to figure out much about the Relocation framework left behind by our ancestor. They could only use the ones that already existed and couldn't reconstruct them …
"The treasure that Lake of Colors Tribe snatched away was a jade slip. It recorded some of our ancestor's Arts, and also the complicated changes and layout of the Relocation Rune …
"Lake of Colors Tribe must have made a great breakthrough in their research!"
"Master, this trip is dangerous! The guests from Tranquil East Tribe didn't come as promised. Something must have happened to their gathering spot. We can't go! If Dong Fang Hua and that Chen guy go, they'll be walking right into a trap! "He Feng continued analyzing the situation, his words hurried.
"You said before that when the people from the three tribes come here, they'll be greatly suppressed, because they've always been Han Mountain's slaves …" Su Ming was silent for a moment before he suddenly spoke.
A thought seemed to flash in He Feng's mind and he immediately said, "Master, I understand what you mean now. Lake of Colors Tribe is very ambitious this time. There must be a lot of people from their tribe being Relocated here. Besides the guests, most of them are their tribe members. "I might have never seen the man in red robes before, but I didn't feel too many restrictions on him …
"If that's the case, could it be that Lake of Colors Tribe has found a way to fight against this restriction?"
"It should be a temporary resistance." Su Ming's gaze fell on the half of the corpse of the man in red robes beside him. The corpse was gradually withering away and letting out cracking sounds. It was the sound of the bones being compressed in a strange manner and cracking. As the corpse withered away, wisps of black mist spread out.
"This time, Lake of Colors Tribe is going to make a big move … Without Tranquil East Tribe and Puqiang Tribe noticing, they might have enough power to open the tomb of their ancestor, which they've never been able to open," He Feng mumbled.
"The situation in Han Mountain City is about to change … Master, we have to stop this!" He Feng seemed to have remembered something and immediately spoke, but the moment the words left his mouth, he regretted it.
Su Ming left the place and charged towards the corpse of the old man in black robes. Once he got closer, he searched through the corpse's body and found a few items. Once he put them away into his storage bag, he ignored He Feng.
"Master, I …" When He Feng saw Su Ming's actions, he became excited.
"I won't stop Lake of Colors Tribe. I don't have the ability to either." Su Ming stood up beside the old man in black robes' corpse and spread the Branding Art to cover a circular area of 1,000 feet before he walked into the distance.
"But Master, if Lake of Colors Tribe opens the tomb of our ancestor and becomes the strongest tribe in Han Mountain City, then your safety will be affected. Besides …"
Su Ming fell silent and looked at his surroundings. The hidden grounds under Han Mountain City seemed to have turned into a place of its own. It was dark all around, and there were numerous mountains that rose up and down. There was also fog surrounding the area, and in the silence, there was an eerie atmosphere.
"I don't know why Lake of Colors Tribe will enter the tomb of our ancestor, but if we obtain the items left behind by the ancestor, the increase in our abilities is secondary. The key is that I think these treasures should belong to you, Master. You obtained the virescent sword and the beast skin. With my help, it's not impossible for us to enter the ancestor's tomb alone in a few years … I …" He Feng had no other choice. He was anxious and could only place his hopes on Su Ming, hoping that he could persuade him.
"He Feng, just what are you hiding from me?" Su Ming asked calmly as he walked forward. The moment his words left his mouth, He Feng's voice immediately fell silent.
"Master, I'm not hiding anything. I'm just worried about Lake of Colors Tribe's goal. Once they obtain the items left behind by the ancestor …" He Feng was just about to explain.
"Don't you know Lake of Colors Tribe's goal? It doesn't matter if it's Lake of Colors, Puqiang, or Tranquil East Tribe. Don't you know their goals?" Su Ming moved very quickly. As he spoke, he had already arrived at the top of a mountain. He stood there and looked into the distance with the muffled wind blowing against his face.
There were many mountains in this place, and as they rose and fell, they formed a large number of valleys. At the end of Su Ming's sight, he saw a plain surrounded by numerous valleys.
The plain was made of sand. There was a windstorm within it that connected the sky and the earth. Su Ming could vaguely see a gigantic building within the windstorm.
It looked like it was far away, but in truth, if he walked over, he would be even further away.
At that moment, at the limits of Su Ming's vision, he could vaguely see three stone towers and altars that were nearly 1,000 feet tall surrounding the gigantic building in the depths of the windstorm.
The three altars were located far away from each other, and their colors were clearly differentiated. They were black, red, and white.
Behind the huge building was a red stone tower and an altar. At this moment, there were more than ten figures dressed in red robes sitting cross-legged on the altar. From their seats, one could tell that they had a clear sense of who was more important and who was less important.
The person in front of them was a very beautiful young married woman. Her eyes were closed, and her beautiful hair fluttered in the wind. At the corner of her mouth, there was a vermilion mole, causing her to exude a sense of charm.
If anyone else saw this woman, they would definitely be able to recognize her with just one glance. Her face was practically the same as the face that was faintly discernible in the red mist in the mountain belonging to Lake of Colors Tribe.
That woman was the tribe leader of Lake of Colors Tribe, Yan Luan. Su Ming had only heard her voice and did not see her face when he was in Han Mountain City all those years ago.
There were two people sitting behind Yan Luan. One of them was Han Fei Zi. She was dressed in a red robe, and her face was still covered by a veil. Her expression was cold.
Beside her was a man who did not seem to be in his thirties. He had a dignified face and a big build. His eyes shone brightly, and when he occasionally looked towards Han Fei Zi, there was undisguised adoration in his eyes.
These people sat there quietly, as if they were waiting for time to pass. Yet at that moment, the altar suddenly shone with a red light. When the people looked over, a shrill scream of pain traveled through the air. As it echoed in the air, an indistinct figure appeared on the altar.
That figure only had the upper half of its body. It rapidly gained corporeal form, and when it became clear, the person who appeared before the people was the man in red robes who had been cut in half by Su Ming.
The man's face was pale. Once he appeared, he fell to the ground, trembling. There was nothing below his waist. Only half of his body remained. His life force was rapidly fading away. His mouth was filled with blood. He wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
His appearance immediately caused the expressions of most of the people in Lake of Colors Tribe, including Han Fei Zi, to immediately change.
The tribe leader of Lake of Colors Tribe, Yan Luan, focused her gaze. She lifted her hand and pointed towards the man in red robes. Immediately, a wisp of red mist charged towards him and seeped into his body through his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, causing the man to immediately feel refreshed.
"Tribe leader, there's a new guest from Tranquil East Tribe. This person killed Lin Dong in an instant …" The man in red robes only managed to say this one sentence before his expression turned gloomy. But immediately, the blood that flowed out of his body gathered together and flew out of his body. It floated in midair and turned into a bloody figure.
The blood shadow was very clear. It was Su Ming with his mask on.
