The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 175 - Strange Ink Youths



The leader of this group of Ink Rain Sect disciples had slowly curled his lips while talking. Just this simple act also appeared a bit strange. It was like he was either purposely slowly curling his lips, or he just moved as naturally slow as a robot.

Either way, the group of Vampires already felt their dislike grew past their predisposition basis. 

"You all….just what is it do you want with us? As you can clearly see, we are on a tight schedule."

The Vampire leader sharply spoke, hoping to end this conversation as soon as it began. 

Perhaps if this just days ago, their attitude would be far more submissive. But now, they saw this powerful Sect as someone with nearly equal footing with them. 

No matter their overwhelming prowess, why should they fear them? The World Spirit Master Branch is far more terrifying.

Facing with these Vampires' proudness, none of the Ink Rain disciples' expressions even twitched. The Ink Rain Sect group leader even kept his creepy smile and pointed up to the skies, asking,

"Take a look to the skies. And tell us, what do you see?" 

"Tch? The hell is this fool talking about?" 

"Is he just wasting our time? Can't Senior Brother Lian just shoo this guy away?"

The other Vampires in the group quietly murmured, their annoyances quickly rising to significant levels. 

Looking at the skies….is this some sort of foolish joke? 

For a Sect to waste time like this, just what kind of nut jobs are in this Sect?

In contrast to his teammates' annoyances, Senior Brother Lian simply scoffed and shot his eyes up. As he did so, his eyes unknowingly narrowed just a bit. 

"Ok….well, the sky is still strangely a bit blackish than normal, so what?"

Indeed, the usually bright blue skies had this strange black substance streaks flowing through the clouds. It appeared similar to a slight leakage of oil dripping into a vast ocean.

It was strange, but then again, a lot of odd happenings occur in their world. 

Something like black substance flowing the clouds wasn't anything to particularly take note of.

Perhaps in just a few days of time, this substance will already clear away and be forgotten forever. At least that's what Senior Brother Lian believed. 

But when he tossed his gaze back on the Ink Rain Sect disciples, each of them now spouted the same slightly eerie smile.

Admittedly, Senior Brother Lian and the other Vampires couldn't deny there were goosebumps slightly tingling their skins. 

These fellow are always known to be quite enigmatic. But to a degree like this? The Vampires nearly wanted to blast them away with their sleeves. However, they still managed to persist though their reasoning was slipping.

"Indeed. It is a small change but a change nonetheless. Really, you all should pay more attention to change no matter how small it is. It's one of the ways to broaden perception. I mean, hey, hasn't your Hiyashi status changed because of that young Spirit Master Cain."

The Ink Rain disciple spoke in a calm, even tone, having absolutely no care about how provocative his words are. 

"Status changed, huh?" Senior Brother Lian curled his lips. "Just what are you exactly trying to say?" 

He and the other Vampires were quickly becoming increasingly irate. It really is shaping that these damn Ink Rain disciples are trying to provoke for no good reason.

"Look, all we will say is, look forward to the meetings of another young King of this generation." 

Pure confidence emitted from the Ink Rain disciple's mouth. And a pure confidence Aura exuded from his whole group, superimposing on top of each other. 

They all had pure faith in their belief to the point where they truly believed the future would change very soon.

The Hiyashi Vampires were genuinely bewildered. This event just seemed so utterly random. None of what this guy saying makes a lick of sense! 

But, before the Vampires could question, the Ink Rain Sect disciples swiveled on their heels and quickly walked away.

"Well….that just happened? The hell just happened exactly?" One of the Vampires nearly thought those disciples had some damage swirling within their brains.

That interaction just didn't feel real, almost like they were talking to some people attempting to be humans. 

"Heh. Maybe that Sect is finally going full looney after messing with the dead for so long. That would be for the best."

Another Vampire disdainfully snorted. 

As the Vampires were about to walk off and shuffled this bizarre interaction out of their minds, somebody had suddenly called out to them.

"Huh….so you all were harassed by them too." 

Instantly, the Vampires snapped their attention over. Their brows curled, recognizing this High-class level youth.

"The Zhun Family? What? You're telling me this happened several times already?" 

Senior Brother Lian curiously asked. At this point, their interest outweighs any personal feelings towards another Class-level Family youth.

The Zhun youth gained a strange expression. His mind flashed with bouts of memories, and he slowly said, "From what I heard, they are doing these strange interactions with all other Class-level Families, Clans, and Sect organizations. But the thing is, what they said to you heavily differs from what I heard. Those Ink Rain disciples would just talk about the weird change in the sky before leaving. But with you, this had to be the only time they mentioned about things changing and World Spirit Master Cain."

"Right…." The Vampires only shook their heads. 

Perhaps they really did hit right on the money that the Ink Rain Sect are losing their sense of mind. But in any case, the Vampires didn't think too deeply about this.

On their own, the Ink Rain Sect has no real power to change the entirety of the City. Whatever nonsense they uttered won't truly matter in the long run. 

Senior Brother Lian simply shrugged, saying, "I would say it's best to ignore their nonsense. Now, if you'll excuse us." 

With his words, the Hiyashi Vampires continued their trek out of the City. 

And unknown to them and that Zhun Family youth, one of the Ink Rain Sect disciples specifically listened in on them.

….

Several miles away from Azure Lightning City, in the front of the Misty Wilderness. At the entrance of the boundless forest were three extraordinary youths.

  They were Cain, Kali, and Amber.

Each of them had varying levels of excitement plastering their faces. Instead of usual lethargicness, Amber now looked genuine eager. She was pumped, ready to actually go on a small adventure.

If her parent were to see this, they would've been shocked over seeing the absolute impossibility. 

Kali's everpresent icy eyes now shined with a slight trace of honest Killing Intent. 

Too long, she's been couped up at home and droningly cultivating. She needed some sort of action to spice up her mind while also honing her battle instincts. 

And Cain….he was part excited, and part puzzled. He was excited over being able to make Amber's one hope finally come true. 

For the last few days, he explained to Alisha that he would be taking a trip down to the Crypt Grave's unsealing with Bellax permission. 

And naturally, he was able to be left alone from the principal or any other high-level figure in favor of cultivating to his best condition. 

Now, he chooses to venture out a day early to awaken Amber's Spirit Core and arrive at the Crypt Grave earlier than others.

Everything was falling perfectly aligned. His cultivation was steadily improving without any hindrance, his Martial Comprehension and perception slowly increased, and he was making decent progress with Spirit Energy.

With all this in mind, Cain should have nothing to worry about. 

But there was one weird change that's been continually stuck in his mind during these slow days.

That is the slight change in the skies. 

All it was just a slight black substance flowing through the clouds. And when Cian spread his Soul Sense to the skies, he didn't detect anything unusual.

But even with this, Cain couldn't shake this weird feeling. He felt like some sort of odd change would inevitably occur in the City right under everyone's nose. 

Whether this change would be good or bad, he couldn't say for sure. But this idea got reinforced as he peered to the skies. 

Even though he's miles away from Azure Lightning City, he could still spot that strange black substance flowing through the clouds!

The strangest thing was how causal everyone was treating this black substance. Though it spread quite far, nobody thinks it means anything of significance. 

Although considering that the Qi environment didn't change in the slightest, these cultivation powerhouses had no real reason to take the time out of their day and explore it.

Suddenly, Cain was broken from his musing when Kali's joking voice slithered into his ears. 

"Are you really still fretting about the sky? Didn't quite literally everyone say just to ignore this? Unless you have an intuition that surpasses even me?"

Kali nearly stifled a chuckle, her eyes dancing with amusement. 

Amber was quick to defend Cain, huffing at Kali, saying, "Hey, shouldn't you know to always place absolute faith in Cain? His over-cautiousness haven't once led us astray."

"Please, you don't need to tell me about having faith. But what I'm trying to say is even if there is some mystical danger, we'll deal with it like we always do. Plus, my intuition abilities are just as good on their own, you know."

A slight competitive edge faintly mixed in within Kali's tone. A confident, challenging smile even hung her lips as she directly stared into Cain's eyes. 

Listening to the girls, Cain simply shook his head.

In a way, they were right anyway. Better to not waste time focusing on what if and prepare for the present. 

Smiling at Kali's challenging gaze, Cain said, "No, Kali has a point, Amber. I'm just too much of a perfectionist, I guess.. Let's just focus on quickly getting to Old Nox Soul."
