After Xia Lin left the place, the G.o.dly-looking man reappeared with a man dressed in all black outfit standing behind him."GrandMaster I"ve blocked miss Xia"s direction"s b.u.t.terflies and corrupted one so she will end up where you"ve planed," the man in black said while half kneeling in front of the G.o.dly-looking man.
He Lan stretched his hands and drew blood out of the sands, some of Xia Lin"s blood fell off when she was battling the Tree Beast. The dry blood that was on the sands now reformed into three drops of blood.
He Lan took them then absorbed them, "Serpent[1], the trap." He turned the blood into a red pearl. He handed the small red pearl that was formed in hands to the man that was half-kneeling behind him, the man took the pearl and disappeared into thin air.
What he meant was to give the pearl to the Serpent that resides in the lake ahead so they could attack Xia Lin after she falls into the trap.
He Lan started walking in the same direction Xia Lin went. He had to admit to his self that he low-key was looking forward to their wedding.
Xia Lin haven"t walk for a long time until she saw a tent that was located on top of a lake, then she teleported herself to the tent. "It looks like someone comes here to cultivate", the tent exudes a powerful yet magical aura, "It must belong to someone powerful in order to make me feel threatened to cultivate in here, but it also means that if I stay my power will regenerate faster."
The tent was small but well arranged, it looked simple but one should know not to trust it looks because this tent could somehow protect itself.
She sensed an extra aura coming from the tent because she just battled the Tree beast she didn"t want to risk her life again, so she put up her shield in case the tent attacks her. She will be able to remain in there and cultivate until she reaches at least fifty percent of her original power as it was now only ten percent remaining.
She sat in the middle of the tent with her leg crossing each other and started to cultivate, with her eyes closed and her shield up she couldn"t see or sense that He Lan appeared right behind her.
He sat down and he placed one of his hands behind her back and started transferring some energy into her, soon the room was again filled with red light radiating from Xia Lin body.
The light that was at first like the light of a small lamp torch started to grow until it became bright like the light of the sun. He Lan open his eyes and stood out, then walk in front of the girl who was still cultivating, then smile gently at the sight of the girl. She looked so calm and beautiful, yet this beautiful girl was a coldblooded killer just like her father, even though he like looking at her, she had to die but just not yet. He needed her alive now, she already fell into his trap, soon she will do as he wishes. After staring at the girl for some time, he sensed that she was about to reach her full potential and open her eyes, he immediately disappeared.
Xia Lin opened her eyes, then smiled. "It looks like this tent is way more powerful than I thought, I only spent a few minutes here yet I already regained my full power. I should get away, if I could regenerate that fast then it means I won"t be able to battle if it attacks me." She immediately hurried out of the tent.
She flew off the tent and was now hovering the lake looking for her directional b.u.t.terfly to lead her to the direction from where she came from, she spotted one her direction b.u.t.terfly coming towards her. She immediately flew to that direction to land. Just when she was about to land her right leg got trapped by something.
Xia Lin turned around to see what was holding her leg, she was shocked by what she saw, there was a snake-tail that was holding her, the tail was so long and so big, it was black with some shade of green scale all over it. The tail was coming from the tent, this made all her hair come up as she knew she couldn"t afford to fight this thing, at least not now.
"d.a.m.n it! It looks like today is really not playing in my favor" just as she was cursing herself, the tail suddenly dragged her from the air into the lake.
"Boom!" Her body landed on the bottom of the lake.
Xia Lin felt pain all over her body, she thought this thing was powerful but powerful wasn"t enough to even start to describe his power. It only threw into the lake but she felt like her whole being was shattered to pieces.
