Chapter 488 - Ch 488: The Heart 1

Countless amounts of blood immediately flowed out from the woman's face. Even her delicate skin was lacerated and bleeding profusely.

Her originally beautiful appearance instantly turned incomparably ugly. She was like an ugly demon that had suddenly appeared.

"Scram! If you dare appear in front of me again, I will use the Fire Law on you next time" Ye Xiao said coldly.

Although Ye Xiao didn't use the fire law on her at the moment, when he slammed his other hand on her body, a sliver of fire law flickering on his hand still touched her body. The woman seemed to be burning as she desperately rolled on the ground.

The woman struggled to get up and quickly ran out of the cave.

Ye Xiao had already sensed the powerful aura on her body with his Divine Sense. He already knew that this was no ordinary woman but a corpse demon that had already gained intelligence after nurturing by the baleful aura here for thousands of years.

In the cave, there were already many people gathered here. Ye Xiao flew over, only to see that there were two groups of people who had already begun fighting.

One group was the demons from the Blood Demon Sect while the other was naturally the demons from the South Demon Alliance.

Ye Xiao quietly walked to the side of the Blood Demon Sect. Because he was carrying a waist plate given by the Blood Demon Sect, he did not attract anyone's attention.

In front of everyone, a huge pile of skeletons appeared. They were all made up of human skulls that were piled up together to form a small mountain.

From afar, a powerful baleful aura welcomed them, causing them to tremble with fear.

"You actually didn't die?" In Ye Xiao's ears, Cui Ting's voice suddenly came.

Cui Ting looked at Ye Xiao with a little surprise. In her opinion, Ye Xiao should have died the moment that group of corpses appeared.

Ye Xiao said indifferently: "You want me to die?"

"No, it would be better to say that you are more fortunate to have survived until now." Cui Ting laughed and replied.

There were only a few hundred demons who managed to make it here alive. Compared to when they first came in, the vast army of demons had already shrunk quite a bit.

Cui Ting pointed to the mountain of skulls and said, "Do you see that mountain? That was the demon under the Demon Master's decree. Whoever can find a heart in that small mountain and hand it over to the Demon Master will have an opportunity to ask for anything from the Demon Master. You have to know that Demon Master is the master of the entire Blood Demon Sect. His words are the rule in the Blood Demon Sect."

"This is what my lord said personally." A trace of adoration flashed across Cui Ting's eyes when she mentioned Demon Master and her lord.

"Heart?"

Ye Xiao asked, "This heart, is it dead?"

"How could that be? Of course, it has to be a live heart in order for it to be useful to Demon master." Cui Ting chuckled and replied.

She pointed to the hill of skulls and said, "This heart will awaken soon. At the right time, the demons from our Blood Demon Sect and the demons from the South Demon Alliance will go and snatch it away."

"It's best if you don't come in and just hide in a corner." Cui Ting laughed and said. In her eyes, Ye Xiao was nothing but an ant who has no strength. If he were to be caught in the battle between the two powerful forces, he'll die without a doubt.

Ye Xiao suddenly spoke out, "I'll give you a piece of advice, leave now, the further you go, the better!"

Cui Ting sneered when she heard him and said, "If you're afraid, go by yourself. I won't laugh at you."

Ye Xiao did not hesitate. He immediately turned around and left.

When Cui Ting saw this, the ridicule in her eyes grew even stronger. She was a demon and her demon nature was to look down on people weaker than her and fear the strong ones. She helped Ye Xiao previously and talked to him only because he was somewhat similar to one of her old friends. If not for the similarity, she would never have talked to someone like Ye Xiao.

"Forget it, if I can seize that heart this time around, I can successfully enter the Demon Master's Hall and make a wish. Anyway, this trash has nothing to do with me. He is just a coward." Cui Ting sneered and muttered in her heart.

Cui Ting was determined to win the heart which was somewhere inside the mountain of skeletons. She didn't know when, but from the mountain of skulls, a cloud of black gas suddenly appeared.

This mass of black gas covered the entire mountain of skulls. At the same time, a strange ghost-like wailing sound floated out from the mountain. The mountain of skulls that was initially piled up suddenly began to scatter clouds of dust. It was as if a sigh that seemed to come from ancient times floated out from it.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

A series of deep sounds suddenly rang out from the mountain of skulls.

Cui Ting was ecstatic as she said, "General, the heart is about to come out!"

This sound was like a heartbeat and every beat was like a hammer slamming into a person's heart.

"What exactly is hidden there?"

"I feel that my small world is trembling. Could it be that some peerless expert is hiding inside?"

"Impossible! Look at how many experts are here, I think it must be a supreme treasure!"

Everyone's heart gradually started to burn with passion.

As for those who knew about the heart, their eyes were all glowing with excitement as well.

Be it the Blood Demon Sect or the South Demon Alliance, they had all paid an enormous bounty to find this heart.

No one noticed that Ye Xiao had quietly left the group of people.

Hearing the heavy heart sound, Ye Xiao did not slow down but instead increased his speed by a few points.

"The Blood Corpse is about to be resurrected!" Ye Xiao frowned and muttered.

According to the knowledge he obtained from the World Exterminating Demon Dragon, he knew that the Blood Corpse was about to be resurrected. Blood Corpse was still an extremely powerful existence. Once it woke up, it would directly devour all the living creatures here. At that time, all of their vitality and blood vitality would be eventually devoured by the Blood Corpse, becoming its legacy.

He came at the wrong time.

"Once I'll collect the Blood Core, I'll leave immediately!" Ye Xiao's figure moved and rushed in a certain direction. This place was merely a place where Blood Corpse would attract everyone's attention with its Heart.

Normally, people would feel that the Blood Corpse was the same as a normal demon that all of its power was hidden in its heart.

But Blood Corpse was different, its power came from the Blood Core. Only when the Blood Core truly revives would the Blood Corpse be able to unleash its true power.

Ye Xiao flew for about the time it took an incense stick to burn before he arrived in front of a wall. With a heavy punch, the wall collapsed. There was an empty area behind the wall.

Here, an altar was placed.

There was a patch of scarlet flesh near the altar that was still pulsing as if it were still alive.

The blood and flesh jumped about bit by bit, looking extremely horrifying. There was actually someone standing at the side.

Ye Xiao walked over and immediately recognized them. It turned out that these people were the middle-aged Demonic Cultivator and other demons who had previously parted ways with Ye Xiao.

The middle-aged Demonic Cultivator and the male and female demons were beside the altar.

"Kid, didn't you leave already? Why did you come here again?" A Demonic Cultivator laughed loudly when he saw Ye Xiao entering this place.

The middle-aged Demonic Cultivator's eyes turned cold. He also said coldly, "How did you get in here?"

Ye Xiao said indifferently: "Why? Do I need to tell you everything?"

"You? Brat, don't be too arrogant." The middle-aged demonic cultivator said coldly.

He didn't like Ye Xiao at all. At first, Ye Xiao tried to separate everyone from each other and now, he suddenly barged into this place. This really caused him to be angered.

"Don't bother with this kid, seizing the treasures is more important!" The male demon behind the middle-aged Demonic Cultivator suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes! As you command!"

The middle-aged demonic cultivator immediately bowed and replied.

He sent a cold gaze to Ye Xiao before turning his head away and shifting his gaze to the altar. He didn't dare to not agree with the male demon.

From the looks of it, this male demon must have a high status.
