Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

The sound was extremely faint, yet it couldn’t escape the perception of the King Tier. Both of them turned to look in the direction of the sound source, suddenly widening their eyes in disbelief!

This gigantic ghostly creature was like a whale, with an excretion port on its back that periodically expelled impurities from its body through that passage.

A large amount of ink-black liquid spewed out like a fountain, transforming into a fine rain when it reached a certain height.

This was not surprising, just like every other excretion, but this time, with that faint sound, the two of them saw a dark figure being ejected from the excretion port!

The figure somersaulted several times in the air before barely regaining balance. Then it unfolded its body, the surrounding Yin Qi forming an invisible pair of gliding wings, carrying it towards the distance.

”Senior, am I seeing things? That looks like a human!”

”More accurately, it’s a member of the Exorcist Civilization.” Chu Xiu squinted his eyes. Although his face was calm, he was shocked inside.

He never imagined that there would actually be survivors from the Exorcist Civilization! But how could it be so coincidental? To just encounter them like this? And why would they be ejected from that gigantic ghostly creature’s body?

”Senior, shall we?”

”Follow and see.” Chu Xiu decisively decided.

”Alright.”

The two uncovered the stones concealing their bodies, landed on the ground, and cautiously trailed behind the floating figure in the sky.

The individual’s power didn’t seem very strong, stumbling through the thick Yin Qi mist, barely able to stabilize their body several times, almost falling.

But fortunately, they eventually landed, though not without danger, on a protruding cliff nearby.

The person sat on the protrusion, catching their breath, took out a skull from their hand, and then moved in a certain direction guided by the skull.

They seemed unable to adapt well to the Yin Qi environment, shivering in the cold, the Spiritual Light on their body flickering intermittently.

Since the gigantic ghostly creature hadn’t fully left yet, Chu Xiu and his companion didn’t dare to get close, only watching from afar.

”Senior, this person seems to possess some method to be ignored by the large ghostly creature.” Jiang Miaoyin said.

During their conversation, the person already crossed the cliff, disappearing from their sight.

However, as their tier was not high, and they didn’t deliberately hide their tracks, Chu Xiu and his companion were not in a hurry to track them.

About a quarter of an hour later, once the super-large ghostly creature completely vanished from view, the two of them relit the oil lamps to dispel Yin Qi, then soared into the air, pursuing in the direction the person had disappeared.

Soon, they caught two shallow footprints, following the trail until a narrow crevice appeared before them.

”It’s the Twilight Realm, could that person be trying to get out?” Jiang Miaoyin speculated.

Chu Xiu remained silent, only flapping Garuda’s Wings, and soon the two of them passed through the Twilight Realm, where a skeletal ghostly creature, left only with its upper body, appeared in their sight.

This ghostly creature seemed somewhat cleaner than before, and suddenly a muffled noise emanated from its enormous skull, prompting Chu Xiu and his companion to exchange glances and fly inside.

Although Chu Xiu hadn’t explored it before, he had already scanned this entire ghostly creature with his Divine Sense. Inside its skull was only a pile of dry bones, nothing special beyond that.

And it remained so, except among the dry bones lay a member of the Exorcist Civilization, fallen to the ground and on the brink of death.

They were deathly pale, having been invaded by the Yin Qi, and were not long for this world.

This eerie scene left Chu Xiu and Jiang Miaoyin looking at each other in confusion, uncertain of the situation.

Had this person exhausted themselves to get here just to die?

At this moment, Chu Xiu looked at the dry bones all around, showing a thoughtful expression.

After a moment of consideration, Chu Xiu flicked his finger, and a lick of lamp flame flew to the person’s side, dispelling the surrounding Yin Qi. Chu Xiu then waved his hand, surrounding the entire skull with surging Demonic Qi, preventing even the slightest infiltration of external Yin Qi.

Soon, the interior of the skull became warm.

That person had been hanging by a thread, but as the Yin Qi was dispersed, their complexion slowly began to redden, and before long, they gently awoke.

Seeing Chu Xiu and his companion, they immediately panicked, flipping over and quickly babbling a string of language neither of them understood.

”Calm down, I saved your life.”

Chu Xiu’s calm intent was transmitted over, stunning the Exorcist Civilization member, who began to scrutinize Chu Xiu and his companion, and after a while, babbled another sentence.

Chu Xiu turned to Jiang Miaoyin: ”What’s he saying?”

Jiang Miaoyin chuckled wryly, ”Senior, you really think I’m all-knowing, huh? How would I know what he’s saying?”

Chu Xiu replied, ”Didn’t your tribe decipher quite a few of their writings before?”

”Well... but it’s only been less than thirty percent. Is that enough?”

”Give it a try.” Chu Xiu said.

”Alright then.” Jiang Miaoyin tentatively drew a few symbols in the air with Spiritual Power. Fortunately, this Exorcist Civilization member seemed literate, and their eyes lit up immediately, quickly gesturing back, and thus the three of them stumbled through their communication.

And about half an hour later, Chu Xiu finally grasped a general understanding of what had occurred.

There were indeed survivors from the Exorcist Civilization! And quite a number of them, numbering as many as thirty thousand!

It turned out this tribe lived near a Blessed Land, once a renowned major tribe.

Faced with the global ghostly creature upheaval, their chieftain had a sudden idea for a clever plan.
