Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 63 - 62: Heart Connecting Lock, Malice Perception

Chapter 63: Chapter 62: Heart Connecting Lock, Malice Perception

The price of Spirit Stones kept climbing.

Although it is very difficult to cultivate a mature Blood and Flesh Gourd, for ordinary Demon Cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Stage, if the seed is well cultivated, it is indeed a good treasure.

Even if they can’t use it themselves, they can treat it as a foundation for their family or sect and cultivate it slowly.

If this generation can’t use it, it can be left for the next generation.

Compared to the previous auction items, this Blood and Flesh Gourd Seed was much more hotly contested.

However, although everyone was bidding, the enthusiasm for raising prices wasn’t very high.

Once the price of Spirit Stones broke three thousand, the voices for higher bids became scarce.

Only three people remained in the bidding game, and each bid incremented by just a hundred.

One of them was Zheng Yi, who joined the bidding from the beginning and did not wait for a final move to win at once. For him, doing that was rather too ostentatious.

"3100."

"3200."

"3500."

As Zheng Yi suddenly raised the bid to 3500 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, with a determined stance, the other two shook their heads and directly gave up.

In fact, for everyone, this Blood and Flesh Gourd Seed wasn’t a must-have treasure. It was better to have it, but not having it was not a loss.

After all, cultivating this Blood and Flesh Gourd was too troublesome, requiring enough blood and flesh. Whether mortal or cultivator, the consequences of committing massacres in the Great Yi City Immortal Realm had proven—either being met with Celestial Punishment or being hunted down, none met a good end.

With 3500 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, Zheng Yi pocketed the Blood and Flesh Gourd Seed, which was quite satisfactory for him, so he relaxed, waiting to leave directly after the auction.

Suddenly, Zheng Yi sensed the Merit Seed in his Sea of Consciousness quiver slightly, and immediately he felt a chill run down his spine.

The Power of Merit is very mystical, and he had discerned two different effects.

The first is to dispel Karmic Force and Resentful Power, and resolve Evil Qi.

The second is an exceptionally keen sense of danger.

This had been verified long ago and would not make the slightest mistake, so now someone must harbor great malice towards him.

A sense of vigilance surged in his heart, and he hurriedly looked upward to find out who coveted him.

Unfortunately, the other party was quite vigilant as well, withdrawing their gaze after only a glance. Zheng Yi knew merely that the malevolent gaze came from above the second floor, but as to who exactly it was, he couldn’t find the culprit.

He couldn’t pinpoint who it was at all.

"Who could it be? I know nobody in Youzhong City, nor have I made any enemies; who could be eyeing me?!"

Under his calm demeanor, Zheng Yi restored his composure, but his mind worked rapidly deep in thought.

He was puzzled, not knowing who in this unfamiliar Youzhong City he just arrived at the day before, and not yet having had time to interact or form enmities with anyone, could be after him.

Could troubles arise from the Blood and Flesh Gourd Seed?

"Pity that my level is too low, and my Divine Thought too weak, otherwise I would certainly discover who owns that gaze!"

Zheng Yi had only been at Demon Cultivation briefly, at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, and his Divine Thought could scan only a short distance.

There was a touch of urgency in his heart, feeling that the Demon Realm was too dangerous, and that many in the Demon Dao were madmen, whose immense malice came from God knows where.

Spending only a short while in a small city, someone was already watching him in the shadows. To survive safely in the realms of the Demon Dao, one must possess stronger power and higher cultivation.

Zheng Yi made a resolve in his heart, not to leave the dwelling easily without advancing to the High Tier of Qi Cultivation.

On the second floor, in a room on the west side, three middle-aged men stood, while a young man sat in a chair.

One of them, a middle-aged man with dark skin, was softly inquiring to the young man in the lead.

"Young Master Yuan, what is special about this person that you’re so focused on him?"

It was just this man who had glanced at Zheng Yi from the second floor and didn’t expect the other to have such astounding perception and high vigilance, reacting instantly and tracing the gaze back.

Fortunately, as his level was somewhat higher, and being on the second floor, he retracted his gaze first, preventing discovery.

Young Master Yuan had just instructed him to keep an eye on this person, not to lose track of him.

"Because on him, there is a Blood Sea vendetta with my Qi Family."

The young man suddenly stood up, full of anger and viciousness as he looked below. Due to the isolation array activated in the room, Zheng Yi wasn’t aware.

This person was called Qi Shengyuan, the eldest son of the Qi Yuan Sect, a part of the Qi Family’s hidden branch.

Back then, the Qi Family established a grand plan. Profoundly aware from the day the family ancestor painstakingly arranged the Nine Yin Gathering Evil Extinct Meridian Array, the whole family had embarked on an irrevocable path.

Either succeed, taking to generations to lay the foundation of a five-hundred-year Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation Clan.

Or be exposed, leaving a trail of bones in its wake, without a burial place, causing the entire family to fall into eternal damnation.

If discovered, the Qi Family would surely be eradicated by the Soul Catching Sect.

Therefore, how could a family of such heroic ambition not have backup measures?

Thus, to preserve and continue the family bloodline, the Qi Family split off a legitimate branch, changed names, and used Demon Dao Secret Skill to cover the bloodline connection, placing this legitimate bloodline branch in Youzhong City, a few hundred miles away.

The current family head’s eldest son of the Qi Yuan Sect had been declared dead in childhood, but was secretly sent to Youzhong City, being cultivated for the position of the hidden vein head.

This secret was known only among a few high-level members of the family main lineage, while others were completely unaware of the existence of a Qi Family hidden vein branch in Youzhong City.

This ploy of Golden Cicada Shell was a strategic layout, a century-long plan orchestrated by the Qi Family Main Lineage in secret.

It could be said that over the years, besides continuing to set up the grand array and cultivating Blood Embryo Ghost Infants, the Qi Family’s biggest expenditure had been investing in this Qi Family Hidden Lineage.

Additionally, to maintain contact and prevent unexpected situations, Qi Yuan Sect and his eldest son had set up a Heart Connecting Lock through a secret technique, allowing them to sense each other within ten miles.

Moreover, if one of them died or was captured, the other could sense the identity of the foe through the Heart Connecting Lock.

This was the main reason Qi Shengyuan could discover Zheng Yi.

As soon as he entered the venue, Qi Shengyuan felt the aura of blood vendetta on Zheng Yi. To avoid mistakes, he tried to trigger the Heart Connecting Lock, and it indeed proved so.

Half a month ago, Qi Shengyuan received news that the Qi Family Main Lineage faced catastrophe and was exterminated by the newly stationed members of the Soul Catching Sect, allegedly under charges of deceiving the Upper Sect, secretly embezzling large resources, and re-supporting the Qi Family Branch to power.
