Chapter 216 - Third Red

“Life-saving Glyph?” Liu Ming was stunned. However, he reacted immediately by taking out his nameplate, handing it over with both hands.

Master Lei only poked the nameplate softly before pulling the golden stick back, replacing it with a golden glyph. He handed it to Liu Ming.

“This is a golden light glyph, an extremely rare golden attribute aerial escape glyph. Should you meet an opponent too strong, all that’s needed is for you to pull this out- you’ll be able to get away with astounding speed. Even regular Spirit Masters won’t be able to pursue you.” Master Lei’s voice sounded beside his ear at the same time.

“Many thanks, uncle!”

Naturally, Liu Ming was overjoyed upon hearing this. He put away the golden glyph with care before stepping to the side respectfully.

On the other hand, after answering the questions from Zhou Tianhe and his group, Hu Chunniang took out a rather shrivelled arm.

Upon examining the arm, Zhou Tianhe nodded with a solemn face, and that thirty year old woman tapped the arm with one finger. A ball of red flame surfaced.

The severed arm then started to burn up in the fire. A moment later, however, something strange happened.

What seemed to be a severed arm almost burning to ashes suddenly went “puff”, and the color of the flame changed into a dull green.

“Fellow Lei, it seems that this person from the Sea Race isn’t just any Sea Race. Royal blood rests in this arm! If Sea Race royalty inhabit this land, we might have to change the original plan of our two sects!” Zhou Tianhe said to Master Lei, his face slightly changed from witnessing the scene.

“Royal blood! This is indeed unexpected. To have been sent to a place like Xuan Jing on such a high risk mission, however, it would seem that this royalty isn’t someone too important back in Sea Race home.” Master Lei responded after hearing Zhou Tianhe’s words.

“That remains a possibility. This matter is of great importance- we can’t take risks too easily. Here’s a proposal. Our two sects had planned to massacre all Sea Race upon sight, but how about sparing the leaders instead? The regular Sea Race die as planned, and we can try interrogating these leaders after capturing them.” The white robed man spoke up after some thought.

“That’s fine.” Seeming to show some hesitation, Master Lei slowly nodded.

“Good. Let’s continue after Zhou Mou lifts this ban with the Nine Star Child Mother Lightning.” Relaxing a bit, Zhou Tianhe lifted the jade box, opening his mouth and blowing at it.

In a gust of wind, the golden glyph on the jade box turned into sprinkles of golden light, collapsing and disappearing. The box opened, revealing a silver pearl the size of a thumb.

The pearl was very rounded, enveloped in a layer of light. Upon closer inspection, countless silver markings invisible to the naked eye could be seen. It was tightly packed together, layer upon layer.

Zhou Tianhe exhaled softly before taking the pearl out of the jade box, holding it up.

In an instant, the silver pearl started spinning slowly in his palm. A hazy layer of silver light gradually rose as an astounding presence started forming above.

The loose practitioners who were secretly watching from afar immediately backed off upon sensing such powerful a presence.

As the silver light on the pearl expanded into the size of the mouth of a bowl, Zhou Tianhe shook his wrist. In response, the pearl turned into a silver ball, shooting up towards the curtain of blue light.

Be it Liu Ming, Master Lei, or any other spirit master- all of them had their eyes peeled, completely focused on the scene before them.

The silver ball flashed, and just when it was about to hit the curtain of light, the space before the curtain rippled. Like a black line, a human form twisted into sight. With a movement of his arm, a giant crimson palm grabbed the ball.

A rumble sounded in the sky.

Silver strikes exploded within the giant hand, and circles of narrow silver light spread out in all directions. Not only did it shake the boat of bones and the bronze flyer, it affected even the nearby curtain of light. It seemed as if it would collapse into ashes any second.

“Who is this!”

Master Lei and the Barbarian Ghost Sect Spirit Masters took on a cautious pose upon witnessing this sight, and so did Zhou Tianhe and his group. The two nuns even pulled their longswords out from their backs.

“Hah, mere humans dare wave their weapons before me. You must not value life.”

As the crimson palm dissipated, the form twisted. From a hazy blur, a skinny middle aged man appeared, his eyebrows burnt yellow.

The man was dressed in blue leather armor, and he wore a black bracelet on each hand. A crimson crystal the size of a bean was embedded halfway between his eyebrows. He laughed coldly as he gazed down at the people beneath him.

“Crystal level Sea Race!”

Lin Caiyu cried out upon seeing the crimson crystal between the skinny man’s eyebrows. He immediately pinched his fingers and the black air on the surface of the boat rolled around, surfacing a curtain of black light that enveloped the entire boat.

Seeing this, Zhou Tianhe inhaled deeply. He then opened his mouth wide abruptly, shooting
