Celestial Peak Chapter 279
Advertisement
In the light of Xie San's slip of the tongue regarding a Portal, Bai Xue is slowly enjoying herself in tormenting someone from the Xie Clan. She had severed all his limbs, crushed his genitalia, and took one of his eyes.
His body was bloodied all over but no blood could be seen on the floor, there was no trace that something happened if they cannot lay their eyes upon Xie San who was at his last breath.
Xie San's breathing was disoriented and the markings of the tears of blood that he had cried made his pathetic sight surface. He was in pain but he cannot die because of the medicine Bai Xue gives him.
He was in pain that even the [Reorganizing] method of his Master cannot hold a candle against this pain. He was in pain and he had been begging for death for the past few hours, "Please, kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me."
His voice was weak but his intentions were clear and resolute. This sight would receive the sympathy of the populace by Bai Xue only saw this as something of an annoyance, "If you wish to die then you should tell me what I want to know. What is the portal you speak of?"
Despite being tortured for hours upon hours, Xie San never spoke about anything regarding the Portal. He was resolute on not telling Bai Xue anything and even after he started begging for death he never uttered anything about what she wants to know.
[This is pretty annoying, he is clearly not going to speak, shit, this is rather embarrassing. I knew he would tell me anything since he refused to speak when I crushed his genitalia, sigh, this should be the end. Well, I'll send him off in that fashion, how do you do it again.] Bai Xue moved her fingers and pressed three points on Xie San's head and extreme pain once again enveloped his body before his mouth froth and losing his life in a miserable manner.

"I did not manage to get any big information from him but it seems like something big is happening in the Devil's Cavern. Shadows are already there so everything should be fine if they move carefully. Shadows, relay the information we acquired to Butler Sun." Rummaging was heard somewhere in the room.
"Did you get some good information?"
A voice came from behind. Bai Xue turned around slowly and looked at Wang Ling's masked countenance, "I go less than what I expected, there was something about a Portal but I'll tell you about it later. How about your side? Did you managed to convince them?"
"It was a done deal when I showed the Holy Lord Blood Essence. They will begin to move in two days' time. We should go to the Frost Domain and head to the Mu Clan, if we hurry over now, correct? I am itching to get my hands on some treasures."
Bai Xue waved her hand and said, "That might not be the case Ling, I think the best place we should be going now is the Devil's Cavern, there's a lot of a good place and good people over there. Look at this." She threw in a vial of blood she had extracted from Xie San's body.
Wang Ling received the blood and then felt the strong concentration of Devil Bloodline inside. Although it was quite impure compared to his True Devil Bloodline, but it was sufficiently stronger and thicker in comparison to those beasts.
"Did you get this from that guy?"
"Yes, I thought you would appreciate getting this blood rather than me using it, shishi, there are two more people in the Devil's Cavern, do you want to head over there?"
Wang Ling contemplated over the matter and then after a short while he decided that they should head there to deal with the disciples named Xie Er and Xie Si. They left after Wang Ling order Suzhen to burn the body of Xie San.

He left together with Bai Xue and the inn that was in association with the True Devil's Academy did not make a fuss regarding the incident of the tortures Bai Xue had conducted. The inn was run by the True Devil Academy so no harm was done and the owner received some reparations so it was all nice.
Wang Ling traveled to the Devil's Caver which was two days away from the City of the True Devil Academy. The Devil's Cavern was known as a Forbidden Lands in the Devil Domain. It was a place filled with dangerous beasts that is no weaker than a Celestial.
In a way, it is far more dangerous than the Red Lands. Though it is quite understandable why that is so. The Devil's Cavern was a large cave that leads to the depths of the land, and the lower one heads to the thicker the Devilish qi that exists.
That also means there are a lot of Devil Blooded Beasts in the Devil's Cavern. Wang Ling head in to the Devil's Cavern not searching for a Devil Blooded Beast but for the fake nobles that entered the premises.
He was flying quickly as he tried heading to the Devil's Cavern but while doing so he had enough time to activate a (expensive) communication talisman to call Butler Sun. He only has two more after using this one.
A talisman is only used by people of prominent background, it is, after all, some kind of miniature formation. He crushed the talisman and his mind connected with Butler Sun.
"What is it, Young Master?"
"We only have one hour so make the reports quick, first what is happening in the Mu Clan?"
"Reporting, Qihai managed to kill an Elder and we left traces of it connecting to us but we made sure to not leave any definite proof. In the process of doing so the Mu Clan was enraged and they accused us which is natural and the people of the Territory became angered when the Mu Clan tried to march towards the Main House and a fight broke out. A night had passed since the war started, Young Master."
"That is good, if you get the bastard making moves on Yue'er keep him alive I have questions for him. And make sure to distribute anything that will be looted so the people of the territory will be satisfied."
"I understand, First Young Master. In five days I will establish the merit board you spoke of so do not worry. On a side note, the Young Miss left for Heaven's Will to attend their annual recruitment."
"That is quite good, she has developed her Heavenly qi so it is time for me to relinquish my position of Son of Heaven when she reaches the right age."
"First Young Master, where are you headed right now?"
"I am in the Devil's Cavern, why?"
"Oh, is that so, I must advise the First Young Master to turn back, the Shadows I have sent over there had been killed and their leader is a Celestial God, please reconsider. Also, I advise you to instead head over to the Earth Domain's, Light Valley, the Grand Light Phoenix have been found by the Yan Clan."
Wang Ling contemplated on what he should do and then finally decided, "I'll head over there and go to the Thunder Domain, give me the exact location."
Butler Sun gave Wang Ling the name of the place where the Yan Clan was going to meet and then Wang Ling turned back.
On the Devil's Cavern where they did not head over, two figures emerged on their hand was a horn made of flames contained in a Jade Box.
The man who was handling the box then said, "With this, we only need the sacrifice."
The two figures left in the direction of the Dark Domain.

Life, the struggle for existence
What would happen when man had to, once again, fight for its own right to live? Would the evolutionary counterparts of our ancestors manage to life through the struggle for survival? What would happen to society if a new reason for living came up, other than the enjoyment of the well-built environment? A reason that could either unite or destroy humanity.This is the struggle for their right of existence.As earth and its inhabitants are faced with the fear of unknown danger and the peril of monstrosities, some will falter, some will die and some will live on to tell the tales of those forgotten. As reality dictates, most will be part of the first two groups and only a small faction will be part of the latter. *This is my first attempt at writing fantasy, so I do hope you’ll enjoy it. The story is one of apocalyptic nature, with gigantic monsters, unfathomable powers and also a critial view on humanity and what it means to be human. I will definitely try to stay away from any tropes that are not neccesary to write fantasy, as I thoroughly despise non-creativity. There shall be no harems, no unrealistic behavior and absolutely no standard scene of dimwitted bandits that try to rob whatever similarly rock-brained princess they encounter. The main character is not black and white, because no human is completely good or completely evil. They’re human, not some idealistic concept of what one is supposed to be. Enjoy!Warning: Tagged 17+ for the occasional strong language and violence, some mild sexual content can occur in the distant future.

Just a Game
“A great corruption is spreading. The people cry out for a savior. For a hero. For YOU! Come join the fight, as the chosen of World Tree! Receive the blessings of the gods, battle fierce monsters, and become the hero you were meant to be, in Arcanum Online!” It was the cheesiest commercial Ethan had ever heard, but the gameplay was enough to draw him - and thousands of others - to the fantasy world of Lazuros. It’s the sort of place that can really draw you in - a huge open world, a deep character customization system, and a feature that makes time pass slower inside the game, extending your limited playtime! It was a little strange, though. As if it was a bit too realistic for a game of swords and sorcery. The NPC’s seemed almost alive, most quests didn’t reset and monsters respawned slowly. Still, for all it’s quirks, it was a good game! Just a game. And nothing more. …right?
