RAD Chapter 102

“Greetings to the Holy Sect Master!” Luo Xiao and Ye Lan saw all the people in black robes in the cave kneel on one knee in front of the seat at the upper position as the sound of footsteps approached. So the two of them curiously looked over, only to see a young woman with a bold and enchanting appearance walk step-by-step to the upper seat and sit down, followed by a middle-aged woman in a tight-fitting long black dress.

The young woman nodded her head in satisfaction and spoke, “Alright, you may rise.”

“Thank you for the grace of the Master! May the Master stay forever young and beautiful!”

Hearing these words, Luo Xiao and Ye Lan exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but twitch their mouths: Well, these lines are really… hehe!

“Huh? There’s still a piece of trash here?” The Sect Master looked at Ye Lan and frowned, unhappily asking.

The middle-aged woman stepped forward and explained, “Master, due to the limited time and the fact that they were together at the time, we just brought them both over.”

“Who are you calling a piece of trash, old lady!” Luo Xiao glared fiercely at this so-called Sect Master. What kind of person dares to call their Yezi a piece of trash? Unforgivable!

“Heh!” The Sect Master let out a snort of disdain. “You’re still talking back? You should feel lucky that I’m in a good mood today, otherwise I wouldn’t let you off.”

“Tch! I don’t care about your so-called grace!” Luo Xiao disdainfully lifted his head and directly rolled his eyes. “What did you bring us here for?”

Sure enough, the feeling of self-confidence is quite different!

“Insolent!” The middle-aged woman reprimanded sternly, then directly waved her hand, and a chilling aura that made people shudder flew towards where Luo Xiao was.

Luo Xiao could clearly feel the danger from this aura. Although his spiritual power was temporarily sealed, his agile physique was still there. He quickly pulled Ye Lan to dodge this malevolent attack.

“Yezi, are you alright?” Luo Xiao turned around anxiously to look at Ye Lan. After all, he was not affected by the attack, but it was different for Ye Lan who was an ordinary person. He would definitely suffer some adverse effects on his body even if he was cured.

“I’m fine, Xiao Xiao.” Ye Lan gently patted his head and said softly, “Are you okay?”

“Of course.”  Luo Xiao nodded.

Seeing the warm atmosphere between the two, the Sect Master’s face immediately turned gloomy: “Someone come! Separate this medicinal ingredient¹Luo Xiao and the trash! Then throw the trash away!”

“You dare!” Luo Xiao quickly shielded Ye Lan behind him and looked at the black-clothed people continuously surrounding them with caution.

Because cultivators are very sensitive to spiritual power, just as Luo Xiao was about to disregard the exposure and draw out the spiritual power from the immortal tree space to solve the spirit-sealing ring on him, an emaciated old man hurriedly walked out from the side hall.

“Master, everything is ready, we can start the ritual.” He said, then bowed and stood aside.

“Mm, since it’s like that, never mind, you may all withdraw.” The Sect Master issued the order, and the black-clothed people quickly retreated to their original positions. “Now, prepare the ritual!”

Thinking about the wish that was about to be realized, the faces of the Sect Master and the middle-aged woman showed obvious emotional fluctuations.

Eight black-clothed people stood in the eight directions of the trigrams. They watched as the old man with serious expression walked to the sacrificial altar. The old man clapped his hands, and several attendants came up to side carrying trays. “Bring the medicinal ingredient over.”

Luo Xiao gave Ye Lan a comforting look, then cooperatively walked to the old man’s side, guarded by the black-clothed people. Seeing the items they brought, he secretly had a guess in his heart.

Following the old man’s recitation of the complicated incantation, the eight people around the sacrificial altar began to quickly form different hand gestures. With the sacrificial altar as the center, a faintly reddish-glowing inverted trigrams began to slowly emerge from the soles of their feet.

As the old man one by one placed the items brought on the sacrificial altar, the color of this inverted trigrams formation became brighter.

After the last thing in the tray was placed on the sacrificial altar, the formation’s light finally became quite dazzling. The old man looked at the formation with satisfaction, then turned and bowed respectfully to the Sect Master, saying, “Master, now you can use the Dead Souls Bell to summon the previous Sect Master’s soul from the Underworld. As long as the soul arrives, combined with the essence blood of the this medicinal ingredient, it will definitely be able to revive the previous Sect Master from the dead!”

“Okay!” The Sect Master suppressed the excitement in her heart and then took out the Dead Souls Bell and closed her eyes to begin the soul summoning technique.

Luo Xiao finally confirmed that his previous guess was correct. However, when he saw the Dead Souls Bell in the sect master’s hand, he frowned deeply.

No wonder when he was in high school a few years ago and was invited by his master to check the murder case of a family of four in Tongjia Village, they couldn’t find the souls of those people. It turns out they had been forcibly extracted to become part of the making of this Dead Souls Bell. How despicable!

As the old man watched the Sect Master use the bell, a flash of light appeared in his eyes. At the same time, his right pinky finger moved slightly.

Seeing the summoned soul, the Sect Master and the middle-aged woman stepped forward excitedly. But since it was summoned by the Dead Souls Bell, the soul’s consciousness was already gone. They saw the vacant expression on its face and felt a pang of pain in their hearts.

“Healer Hua, you can proceed.” The Sect Master suppressed the slight bitterness in her heart. “Remember, it must succeed!”

“Yes, Master.” The old man, or Healer Hua, respectfully nodded. Then he turned around, uttered a spell, and the sacrificial altar slowly descended as the ice coffin rose.

He projected a beam of light towards the soul’s forehead, and the soul quietly closed its eyes. Following Healer Hua’s quick and changing gestures, the soul quickly flew into the body inside the ice coffin. After it was completely inside, Healer Hua grabbed Luo Xiao’s right hand and wanted to open a bloody wound on it to extract all the essence blood within his body.

At this point, Luo Xiao fully understood why he was being used as a medicine. It was because he was a reborn cultivator. Only someone like him who had this kind of essence blood could serve as a medicine for the resurrection spell to succeed. Of course, it’s also because there aren’t many people like him. Otherwise, there would have been countless successful resurrections throughout history, but there haven’t been any.

However, just as Healer Hua was about to make the bloody cut, the cave suddenly started shaking, and many stones fell from the ceiling. Luo Xiao’s eyes lit up: That’s right, his master must have brought people to attack.

He no longer sat there and waited for death. He immediately used the spiritual power from the immortal tree space to dispel the spirit-sealing ring on his body. Then he quickly struck Healer Hua’s chest, knocking him out of the formation. At the same time, he slapped a thunder talisman onto the ice coffin. Immediately after, he flew towards where Ye Lan was and then quickly hid in a concealed spot.

A bolt of lightning struck down. Although the ice coffin was protected by multiple layers of protection, cracks appeared on its surface. The transparent soul finally dissipated under the thunder’s attack.

“No!!!” The Sect Master and the middle-aged woman let out a piercing scream, then their red eyes fixed directly on Luo Xiao’s hiding place

The two angry people completely disregarded the eight black-clothed people lying seriously injured on the ground. They directly used their magic and mercilessly attacked the location where Luo Xiao and Ye Lan were hiding.

Luo Xiao knew that with his current strength, he had no chance of winning. Although the immortal tree space had many spiritual powers he could use, the problem was that his body still could not withstand so much spiritual power.

So Luo Xiao grabbed Ye Lan’s hand and a thought flashed through his mind. The two of them immediately disappeared from the original spot. Hmph! Can’t beat him, can’t hide either? Fortunately, the space has been upgraded!

“Xiao Xiao, where is this?” After a moment of panic, Ye Lan found himself in a huge tree hollow, and then immediately realized something. He looked at Luo Xiao in surprise. “Could it be that we are in?”

“En, this is in my immortal tree space! No outsiders can get in!” Luo Xiao proudly lifted his chin. You know, a personal space like this is only seen in novels!

Ye Lan looked at Luo Xiao’s proud look and his heart couldn’t help but itch. In addition, the original tension in his heart was also relieved by his words, so he no longer restrained himself and stepped forward to rub his Xiao Xiao’s head hard.

After Luo Xiao finally broke free, the result was a bird’s nest shape. Ye Lan looked at him like this and couldn’t help but chuckle softly. He was really too cute!

“You! Hmph!” Luo Xiao’s face flushed red with anger, glaring at him with puffed up fur.

The atmosphere here was warm and sweet, but outside it was completely the opposite.

After discovering that the person who was supposed to be dead had mysteriously disappeared, the Sect Master was furious and wanted to directly wave her hand to destroy all the other people present. But the middle-aged woman next to her stopped her actions, “Master, now is not the time to vent your anger on them. Those righteous people outside are about to attack here, and our manpower is already insufficient. Let them atone for their crimes and do meritorious service.”

“Heh!” The Sect Master reluctantly put down her hand, but the angry expression on her face was still there.

There was a loud bang, and a person was violently beaten to the ground. After spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, and before he could say anything, he tilted his head and died.

The Sect Master looked at her disciple being treated this way. Although she didn’t care about his life and death, she only cared that she was slapped in the face and provoked. The original anger in her heart burned even more, and her expression became ferocious.

Mr. Huo led a group of people through a difficult battle, and many were injured in the middle, but they would not be easily defeated. The Holy Teachings must be destroyed!

The two groups faced each other and then immediately began to fight.

Although Luo Xiao entered the space, he could still see the situation outside through his consciousness. After seeing Mr. Huo’s people start fighting, he looked at the battle situation and then stroked his chin and smiled slyly.

After explaining the situation to Ye Lan, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and appeared at the previous hidden place. Fortunately entering and exiting the space did not require spiritual power, so he was able to do it quietly.

He observed the current battle situation, then took out some talismans from the space and directly threw them at the backs of the enemies who were fighting against his side. Even if they discovered something was wrong, so what? With a formidable opponent in front of them, how could they easily dodge this attack from behind!

So Luo Xiao’s success rate of striking from behind was extremely high.

At the moment Luo Xiao took action, Mr. Huo sensed his spiritual power and finally heaved a sigh of relief. Judging from the speed of the attack from behind, his beloved disciple must be alive and kicking! As for that kid from the Ye family, there was even less to worry about. His disciple must have arranged it carefully to be able to play so happily!

And so, under Luo Xiao’s sneak attack from behind, the people of the Holy Teachings one by one fell to the ground without a trace of life. The battle gradually approached its end, and the only enemies left were the Sect Master and the woman in black.

But their situation was not much better either. After all, these people of the Holy Teachings were most skilled in all kinds of despicable and vicious methods.

Mr. Huo stared intently at the Master, while the others stared at the woman in black. With a swish sound, the final battle was about to begin…
