Chapter 49 50: Crimson Seekers
For two days, Liam spent his time cultivating his essence cultivation, the amount of essence in his demon core have increased.
He opened his eyes after some time when he discovered that the amount of energy that he absorbed have started decreasing till the point when ordinary essence was observed.
He moved his eye to the primeval stones, there wasn\'t any essence in it.
"The first primeval stone was low grade and it lasted for two years, the other was the same and lasted for about a year and two months but this one only lasted for eight months at most, now I only have one left, how should I get more of it? the primeval essence in the primeval stones are better than the ordinary world essence the lingers in the air because of my demon core."
Liam gazed at the primeval stone that has no energy in it anymore, he sighed and looked ahead to see his two hostage gazing at him with strange looks in their eyes which has redden.
Liam eyes dulled as he tried to reason what was wrong? why would these two behave like this?
"You know, it\'s not good to leave your hostage hungry. what If they die from starvation?" Ponytail said with trembling voices.
"Oh, food. You guys want to eat!"
"Definitely. for the past two days we have remained in this position, my leg and hands are limp at the moment." The middle-aged man complained, he was the one who hunger has dealt with the most, one can easily tell it by looking at him.
Well, about that. How should he really go about it and make sure they don\'t escape, that would be troublesome!
"Ok, you guys can go eat but the bills are on you. Don\'t try to escape, you know how I work, I\'ll get you even before you try it."
Liam threatened them with his ability to turn invisible, as if that was not enough, he called out golden flame and held it in his hands.
"This is a divine flame called the body chaser, as long as I\'ve seen you guys and you guys have seen it, if you try to escape it will chase after you into any pit or heaven you run in and it won\'t stop until it\'s mission is fulfilled which is to end your miserable lives, you have two hours to leave." Liam said and sent out two small ball of flames to melt what was stopping them from escaping since.
Ponytail and the other dude could not help but shiver after hearing his threat, no matter from which perspective they look at, Liam did not seem to be lying.
Both of them limped out of the room, meanwhile, the blood manipulator bloodline spoke to Liam.
["Master, wouldn\'t it be better if you plant a blood seed inside of him, with that you can monitor him easily and tell when he\'s trying to hurt you or when he\'s trying to escape."]
"Blood seed you say, how can I do that? it sounds interesting"
Blood manipulator sent the informing of how he was going to form a blood seed and how to use it.
Well, it was simple; he brought out blood from the mechanism sword and purified it with his own essence and then activated it with his divine sense.
The blood seed was the form of a small crystal, it was smaller than pebbles and had a smooth surface.
Inside of it, one could see something that seems to be moving.
Liam kept it in his inventory because according to the blood manipulator, outside the body it loses it\'s life and decay\'s easily.
Then Liam formed the other one and saved it as well.
Almost two minutes later, ponytail and the other guy walked in with a fresh look on their face.
"Come closer both of you, I have a reward for the two of you, your informations have proved useful to me."
Liam talked them into taking the blood seed and both of them agreed to do so, they took the blood seed which they believed were seeds.
However, the moment they did so their face changed to a pained one.
Their stomach heated up as though they have swallowed lava, their eyes reddened and their eyeballs started rolling and they fell on the ground grabbing their stomach.
"Pain. it\'s painful"
"I\'m dying please stop the pain"
["You can control it with your mind to stop, but when You\'re in danger caused by the Two it will keep on torturing them till they die"]
\'Oh, great\' Liam thought to himself, and then he clicked his finger and the suffering of the two stopped immedately.
They looked at him fearfully.
"What did you do to us? the pill you gave us is not a real pill right?"
Liam nodded his head.
"Yeah, it is something called a Blood seed, it has its own consciousness and will act up anything both of you try to harm me or try to escape from me?"
"That!" Both of them were taken aback and their eyes revealed the shock they initially felt.
"That way, I\'ll no longer need to bind you and I\'ll be using you for real this time, you will accompany me anywhere I want and you know about."
Liam kept asking them few questions and he got to learn about the other hideout of the yellow horn black wing group and Liam Even allowed both of them to accompany him.
He instructed them to put on masks which they did.
Together they walked down the stairs.
...
Meanwhile at that moment, Xavier walked out of his room with a sword sheathed on his back and he even held Julian with him.
Julian had silvery hair, blue eyes and nice skin color, her face was pretty even as she was young and each time she smiled two nice dimples appeared.
Xavier was carried away by her cuteness and he could not help but pinch her cheek lightly and this caused Julian to pout cutely and Xavier laughed heartily.
They walked down the stairs and out of the inn.
Almost thirty seconds after they left the inn, Liam and his two subordinate walked out as well.
While Xavier went Eastward with Emelia, Liam walked westward.
Both brothers walled past each other with none of them noticing it.
Liam was serious about completing this mission as soon as he could because almost three months have passed since he arrived here.
Well, everything has started adding up pretty good, he now have connection with one of the group member and also have one of the group\'s customer as as his hostage.
If he add things up quite well, he might be able to succeed and finish the mission as soon as he could.
Soon Liam arrived inside the same forest that he have killed those people that day and then he began jumping from one tree to another until they came to a cave with a magical force field in front of it.
"It\'s the same way as before, right?"
"Yes!" Ponytail nodded; "This place was our former liar nevertheless, it was taken away and it\'s passcode was changed, it seems like the new dwellers of this place are one of our groups and they were able to use our world wide passcode to access it and then changed it to a secret one."
Liam walked further and placed his hands on the cave; "What you are trying to say is that that anthem will be useless now?"
"Yes, but I think I have an idea, I told it to my brothers before but they laughed at it because it\'s stupid, but I think I should try it out. this is it, we can set up an explosion and make it seem like an attack."
"And then the people insides will come out to defend, Cool! you guys go hide somewhere and try your best to conceal your presence as much as you can while I cause the explosion." Liam said and ignited Golden divine flame in his hand.
"Ok" "Okay"
The two of them ran to different locations and hid their presence while Liam made the golden flame in his hands bigger and shot it at the force field causing a very large boom to sound across a large area.
Thump Thump Thump
The sound of footsteps started resounding in the area, Liam hid himself on top of the cave.
Then the force field started disappearing until ten men dressed in red robes walked out, on their body was the insignia of another group called the "Crimson Seekers"
Ponytail saw these men and his eyes went wide with shock as he muttered in fear "The evil crimson seekers! how the heck did they make their way into this village"
Liam knew nothing about these red robes men except that their cultivation was at least at the high stage of human lord realm.
"Such strength!" He muttered lowly lower than a mere whisper.
