With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 275 - 243
"This aura..."
A small figure crouched half low on a patch of blood, seemingly sniffing something.
"Appearances can change, but aura is unchangeable..."
The small figure slowly stood up, lifting the black veil from the hat with a soft hand, revealing a pair of quite bright eyes.
Behind her were several figures standing by the door observing the surroundings or leaning against the wall with eyes slightly closed.
Without exception, each person’s aura was remarkably deep...
"The Supervisor orders, capture him!"
.........
Jiang Ming wielded a knife in his left hand and a sword in his right, gently flicking away the blood that lingered on their blades.
The knife and sword were sheathed, clean and neat.
Jiang Ming turned slightly, the boots underfoot stained with thick blood.
The bloody scent pervaded this small hall.
An old man slouched in the main seat, with a large wound on his chest.
"Why... we... have no grievance."
The old man’s breath was weak, yet he lifted his head with great effort, looking at Jiang Ming with eyes full of unwillingness, questioning.
Jiang Ming adjusted the newly donned hat, obscuring his eyes underneath.
"What grievances or grudges did those children, those women have with you."
"Hahaha, ridiculous, ridiculous, you actually killed me for a bunch of ants, isn’t this world just like this?"
"Mere ants, only meant to please us Immortal Masters."
Blood gradually stained the old man’s white beard.
Jiang Ming slowly stepped forward.
"Swoosh——————"
Suddenly, the old man’s tongue darted out, like a Divine Sword toward Jiang Ming’s face.
But in the next moment, the old man stiffened, a bright red line appeared from the center of his brow downward.
"Clap"
The old man’s body split into two, collapsed down.
Jiang Ming reached out with one hand, rummaging inside the old man, retrieving a blood-red Crystal Stone.
"Human? Hmph."
The hat lifted slightly, revealing a pair of freezing cold eyes beneath.
The further south you go, the more of these so-called Immortal Masters there are.
They seemed to once again replace the Spirit Monsters’ status, becoming castles in the wild.
But generally, these Immortal Masters were transformed into half-demon, half-human beings stained by the dust of the Heart Lamp.
Yet they were seemingly more controllable, the cost being they need to vent their most extreme desires.
Some things were so heartbreaking that even Jiang Ming felt a tremor at heart.
Perhaps the existence of these Immortal Masters was intentionally by the higher-ups of Southern Wilderness City, but Jiang Ming could not tolerate.
This was Jiang Ming’s bottom line as a person.
"What exactly happened at the frontier frontline... The Immortal Masters retreating from the frontier have become like this..."
"This Southern Wilderness... becoming more inscrutable..."
"In recent days, I should hunt more evil Qi Spirit Monsters..." Jiang Ming murmured.
Jiang Ming donned a black cloak, his figure gradually merged into the darkness, aura dissipating...
Long after, several figures arrived at this place...
.........
Jiang Ming slapped fragmented silver onto the table.
The inn was spacious, crowded, people came and went at the door, travelers and merchants unloading heavy loads with the help of the innkeeper.
"Have you heard? The Night Demon is about to arrive here..."
"Night Demon? Bloody Butcher?"
"You all know his name?"
"Nonsense, the bounty over by the west gate was just posted, no one knows what this bounty is, not even a picture was depicted."
"Rumor has it no one has lived to see his appearance."
By now Jiang Ming had changed into a snow-white straight-hem robe, belted with a moon-white cloud-patterned wide belt, radiating elegance, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, undeniably looking like a noble young master.
Jiang Ming’s expression was calm, yet his heart twitched slightly.
His image was actually spread like this.
"However, rumor has it that the Nameless Daoist known for the Celestial Water Sword and Flying Dragon Sword will soon come here too."
"Who is that, you say he’s nameless yet mention titles? I can say the Star Sword and Heavenly Observer are coming too."
Several notable figures emerged in the Southern Wilderness over these months.
They were either slaying demons and monsters, killing countless powerful evils even the government ignored.
Or rescuing entire towns by slaying evils in times of crisis.
Or notorious evil-doers with overwhelming Evil Qi slaughtering retired Immortal Masters protecting villagers.
These Immortal Masters were heroes retired from the frontier battlefield, respected by many.
After retiring from the battlefield, they continued to light the way for others, opening up more Human Race habitats in the wild.
Numerous Immortal Masters were massacred, naturally drawing attention.
Undoubtedly, such inns are ideal for gathering information.
Travelers and merchants from all over congregate here, inadvertently revealing much during idle talk.
Jiang Ming unleashed his Divine Sense, collecting all information within the inn.
The hottest topic was about several notable figures appearing in Southern Wilderness recently, with various versions emerging from the narratives of ’present people’, promptly converging into several well-known versions, where strange names of heroes and villains were attributed.
In Southern Wilderness, where Immortal Masters were revered, and everyone aspired to become an Immortal Master, the emergence of powerful figures was more easily spread.
Yet every person present was oblivious that the Immortal Master they spoke of was precisely the seemingly harmless noble scion sitting beside them.
