Chapter 507: Chapter 318_1
Within the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Bart Cloud had already led Lowen Shingo ten miles in, before setting up camp, not daring to proceed any further. They were already approaching the habitat of a million demon beasts, going any deeper would undoubtedly pose a risk.
Lowen Shingo was still unconscious. Bart Cloud had the intention to save him, but did not have any means to do so. He once had a Rule Elixir, but he had eaten it previously.
The best recourse was to wait for Logan. He believed that Logan would certainly arrive, it was merely a question of time. Seeing the numerous injuries on Lowen Shingo’s body, Bart Cloud couldn’t help but sigh. Lowen Shingo was far too stubborn, refusing to betray anyone no matter the circumstances.
At this moment, the sky steadily brightened, and the cries of the beasts gradually faded. After daylight came, the power of the demon beasts was weakened due to the sunlight, and they generally didn’t behave as restlessly as they would during the night.
Logan had already ventured into the Demon Beast Mountain Range, while the Shingo Butcher at his side was extremely apprehensive. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of demon beasts in the mountain ranges, and even the six grand sects dared not probe deeper but only camped on the outskirts. And yet, the two of them had ventured in. What if they were surrounded by a million demon beasts?
“Afraid of what?” Logan merely smiled faintly, having experienced encirclement by a million demon beasts before, even for as long as three nights in a row. But Logan’s array had always warded them off–even their chieftain, the half saint seat demon beast fell. As such, Logan wasn’t scared at all.
He believed that as soon as the million demon beasts saw him, they would certainly recall that day and hesitate to be his enemy. After all, the millions of demon beasts had clearly experienced that both the Beast King and Heavenly Saint Daoist died because of him. At this moment within the mountain range, they would be leaderless and obedient before him.
The two of them traveled continuously for an hour and finally saw Bart Cloud and the others. After their reunion, Logan quickly looked at Lowen Shingo. This miserable condition triggered his rage– the attitude of those in the sects was way too severe. Did they really need to be so vicious against Lowen Shingo?
Not daring to delay due to the severity of his injuries, Logan instantly produced the Rule Elixir. Half was used to treat external injuries, and the other half was ingested. Soon after, Lowen Shingo’s injuries were healed quickly, the pallor from his face vanished. This scene surprised Shingo Butcher beyond belief. What kind of miraculous pill was this?
After a while, Lowen Shingo finally woke up. Seeing Logan and Bart Cloud, he was shocked, “Leave quickly, don’t save me! This is all a trap set by the sects to gain an opportunity for the two saints.”
“It’s fine now, we have already saved you. As for the six grand sects and your Shingo Clan, they have been led around by the nose. You are a man of iron bones. Despite refusing to submit to those people and treating us with true brotherhood, how could we not save you?”
Bart Cloud, filled with emotions, spoke, “Actually, you don’t need to keep silent. The Heavenly Saint Daoist and Beast King didn’t leave any opportunities behind. Perhaps, had you confided in them, you would not have had to suffer such torture. You are too stubborn. What if we hadn’t come to save you?
“I couldn’t tell. Although the Heavenly Daoist and the Beast King are dead, everything has originated from Logan’s array. What if those sects coveted Logan’s array and harbored thoughts of eradication?”
Lowen Shingo gave a bitter smile and moved his joints, which were entirely free of injury, before sitting up. Admittedly, the Rule Elixir was indeed miraculous; when he was on the brink of death, it managed to save him.
“The six grand sects that I trapped in the array have been saved by someone. We will definitely be pursued afterward. Although hiding in this mountain range temporarily can avoid danger, we will have to leave sooner or later. We must come up with failsafe strategies.”
Logan looked grave and suddenly turned to look at the Shingo Butcher. “All of this has nothing to do with you. You were simply a bystander initially. You can leave now and avoid a fatal disaster. Walking with us is a matter of life and death, and it’s difficult to fight the six grand sects.”
Logan’s words were very tactful. The six grand sects were at the half-step saint seat level, and beneath them, there were several strong dominators. Especially the Shingo Clan is just like the six grand sects. They would do anything to share in the spoils. Even if Celica Shingo doesn’t want to, he also can’t stand in the way of the elders in the Clan.
“This is not right; I have always prioritized friends.” As soon as the Shingo Butcher heard this, he burst into anger immediately. So, in Logan’s eyes, he was still an outsider. Now that he had chosen to be with Logan, he most definitely would not leave because of danger, even if his opponent was an exalted half-step saint seat.
His reputation as the butcher was largely due to his cold-bloodedness and fearlessness. If he left at this time, how would outsiders view him? He genuinely wanted to make friends with Logan and the others. The Cultivation World was always full of deceit, but Logan and the others were different.
For the sake of friends, they dared to tread on a deadly path, even if it meant risking their lives. That is real friendship. It would be enough if he could befriend Logan and the others in this life, so he won’t leave Logan in a dangerous situation. Moreover, if they could safely get past this, his realm would be able to progress further.
Bart Cloud nodded. He had truly recognized the Shingo Butcher. Initially, he maintained a constant vigilance toward the other party, thinking he had ulterior motives. After all, there was too much Blood Slaughter Qi on him, making him lack the appearance of a good person. However, the Shingo Butcher moved him with his words.
“All this happened because of me. The Shingo Clan’s plotting against you was solely for selfish gain, putting all of you in the line of fire. Even if I remained silent, things escalated to this point. My guilt is immeasurable. I do not understand how it came to this!”
Lowen Shingo heaved a sigh of despair and hopelessness. Since his childhood, he had had complete trust in the Sect. Being the son of the Sect Leader, everyone in the Sect had treated him well, making him feel an immense sense of belonging. He didn’t expect that just a bit of interest would lead to all this.
When he was told about the Heavenly Saint Daoist and The Beast King, the usually kind elders captured him to interrogate him using various methods, even threatening to ruin his cultivation base. His father, whom he always respected, did nothing to stop them and chose to ignore them.
Originally, he would rather die than submit. Logan and Bart Cloud had saved his life, and he would not divulge any information even at the expense of his life. However, the Daoist Protector whom he had trusted revealed everything. At that moment, he felt that the sky had fallen and the world had become distorted.
Logan shook his head, saying, “Human nature is like this. Don’t be too sad. The Sect’s elders treated you kindly in the past because you were the Sect Leader’s son. But once their interests were implicated, they naturally changed their treatment towards you.”
