The blood king 95 The Sect Master's Arrival

After hearing the demon saint's explanation, he retained his original opinion of people.

' So in the end, this man was still doing this not for his daughter, but for himself.' He thought silently.

As he thought about this, his expression dimmed as his brows furrowed.

' Why am i even disappointed?...This has nothing to do with me....' He thought.

But even though he convinced himself of this, his frustration only grew.

"....We can't leave because of the soldiers. For what ever reason, they don't allow us to..." After calming himself down, the man replied.

" Oh. Is there anything else i-this young master should know about?" Levi asked.

"....No. That was everything." After thinking for a few seconds, the man replied.

" Go back for now. This young master will find you when i am ready to leave!" Levi spoke in an unquestionable tone.

"...Ok." As he heard Levi's voice, the man slowly nodded.

Just before he got back onto the street, he looked back at Levi, silently praying that he wouldn't forsake him.

' I need to prepare.' Levi thought silently, as he walked from between the two buildings.

' What do you think, demon saint?'

' Hmm, we only have limited information, and asking around would be suspicious.' The demon saint thought aloud.

' If those soldiers are really a part of this then....' He went silent.

' All of the inns you went to were full, right?' The demon saint asked.

" Yes?" Levi answered.

' Let's pay them a visit to see if there are any open rooms now.' The demon saint said.

...

Night time.

' I just have to kill them?' Levi asked.

He stood in front of a large building.

The door was closed, but he could still hear the voices of multiple people.

' Yes, and do it quickly. You still have to pay the other inns a visit!' The demon saint shouted.

'...' Levi's hands, from the wrists down slowly became black.

They doubled in length, as they became hard and sharp.

Dling!

He pushed open the door, causing the bell hung above it to ring loudly.

" Huhh?"

" What the hell?"

" Who is this long hand freak?"

" Hey, didn't you see the 'full' sign on the door?"

" Get lost! This place is full!"

Multiple men wearing different colored washed out robes sat at some round wooden tables.

" 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10." Levi's gaze shifted, as he counted softly.

" Oi, didn't you hear us?" One of the men asked, as he put down his large wooden mug.

The others also put down their forks and spoons, as they looked at Levi.

" Oh, sorry, i came to the wrong place." Levi said, as he turned around.

" Humph! What were you saying now? Something abo-"

The tips of Levi's fingers grew out into tiny black threads, as they shot out.

Thump! Thump!

The sound of bodies falling, along with plates chattering rang out.

The men fell over one after another, black threads imbedded in their foreheads.

As the men fell, Levi released the tension in the threads, causing them to sag losely.

" You!!!"

A loud shout caused Levi to turn around.

" I missed one...." Levi mumbled.

He made sure to remember their locations, but still missed one of the men in the end.

" Do you know who you just killed?! Do you?!" The man shouted, but didn't move from his seat.

' Dammit! I should have brought my sword! And fuck! Why did these guys let their guards down so easily?!' The man thought.

" I don't." Levi said simply.

" Then li-" Before the man could finish, the thread that had passed right beside his head curved, before stabbing though it.

The tip of the thread passed through the back of his head, before sticking out through his forehead, as a bead of blood slowly dripped from it.

"..." Levi silently turned around to leave.

The demon saint told him not to absorb their blood, so he didn't.

' Am i really underestimating them?' He thought silently.

' Wait a minute!' The demon saint called out, causing Levi to stop.

...

' Hey! Heey!! Heeeeeeey!!!' The demon saint shouted.

"...What?" Levi asked coldly.

Last night, the demon saint had him running around, killing the soldiers in the different inns.

" Hmm?" Levi looked down, only to see a sea of people walking in one direction.

' Get inside the croud.' The demon saint said.

Levi jumped from the roof and landed inside the croud of people.

He walked along with them silently.

" Where are we going?" He asked a middle aged woman.

" Huh? Who's ugly brat is this? Get-" The woman was about to tall him to get lost, but Levi's cold glare caused those words to stick in her throat.

" W-We, are going to the main street..." The woman stuttered.

" You could have said that from the beginning." Levi said coldly.

' Why did you glare at the poor woman like that? The people are just on edge!' The demon saint said, as he snickered lightly.

' That doesn't make it any less annoying.' Levi thought coldly.

Couldn't people just answer simple questions without all of the extra crap? He was begining to think not.

After a few minutes, they arrived at a wide street, this was the so-called main street.

In the center of the street stood a large wooden platform.

Instead of chairs, there was one large square cushion, with many smaller ones surrounding it.

The people stood in front this platform silently and waited.

" How long do we have to wait for?" Levi turned his head, but the middle aged woman was gone.

" I don't know. People in positions of power couldn't care less how much time they make powerless people like us wait." A teenage boy with short black hair said.

A gloomy air hung over the boy, as he glared at the platform with gritted teeth.

Levi simply closed his eyes and crossed his arms silently.

' Do you want to know what i did go those soldiers?' The demon saint asked in a playful tone.

' When i asked, you said it was a surprise. I am not going to waste my time asking again.' Levi said.

' How boring. Hehehe, search around with mental energy.' He said.

Puft!

A black flame appeared before Levi's forehead, as an almost transparent wave of black mental energy eminated from it.

" Hmm?" Levi opened his eyes, as they shifted swiftly.

" You...." Levi's expression dimmed.

' Hehehe, i am controlling the corpses of those soldiers.'

' That is why i needed you to kill them swiftly and without doing to much damage to the bodies.' The demon saint said.

' Mental energy alone isn't enough, which is why they needed to die without much struggle, so that they wouldn't expend that precious last bit of energy in their bodies.' The demon saint explained.

" You....How can you use mental energy?" Levi asked coldly.

' When did i ever say that i couldn't?' The demon saint spoke coldly.

' Just because i never did doesn't mean i couldn't. You shouldn't assume things just because other things don't happen, hehehehe.' The demon saint laughed coldly.

' In any case, you don't need to worry.'

' They are my eyes and ears.'

' Whatever they see and hear, we also will.' The demon saint explained.

"..." Levi kept silent.

He had forgotten it for a long time, but now he remembered.

He always carried something dangerous everywhere with him.

Before, it was thanks to the tattoo that he survived, and even captured the demon saint.

But if the demon saint were to somehow get away...

He didn't even want to think about what would happen to him.

"..ey...hey!" Shouts woke him from his deep thoughts.

" Are you ok? You look pale." The boy who just answered his question asked.

"...I'm fine." Levi replied.

" Oh. You probably shouldn't talk to yourself like that, unless you want people to think that you are crazy." The boy said, before shifting his gaze back to the platform.

...

Minutes, then hours passed.

The sun was setting, as the people continued to wait.

They all looked exausted, but as if rooted to their spots, they didn't leave.

"..." Levi stood silently, without the slightest bit of fatigue on his visage.

'....Sigh, don't you think that you should at least pretend to be tired?' The demon saint asked with a sigh.

' Don't you think it would be too suspicious for one single person in a crowd to not be tired after standing in place for more than half a day?' The demon saint asked before Levi could answer.

'...' Levi silently contemplated.

A few seconds later, beads of 'sweat' appeared on his face, along with his neck, soaking his collar.

"....You okay? If you know you can't handle standing for long periods of time then you shouldn't have come here." The youth beside Levi said, as he looked down at Levi.

" Hmm?" Levi's gaze shifted, as he felt a slight tugging from the demon saint's mental energy.

' Ohoho, isn't that quite the entrance.' The demon saint sneered.

A small black dot appeared in the sky.

If one looked closer, they would see that it was a modified carriage without wheels.

4 figures surrounded the carriage, one at each corner.

"..Oh..."

" I-Is that...."

"..."

As the carriage grew closer, the people of demonic city could see it.

Some of them mumbled, while others, like the youth beside Levi, just looked at it silently.

As it arrived right above the main street, those who were sitting on the ground hurriedly got up.

They wiped their sweat and put on their most brilliant smiles.

Don!

The carriage landed hard on the ground, as the sound of something hollow dropping rang out.

Kreik!

The door at the side of the carriage flew open, as a foot was slowly extended.

" Humph! Why did you drop it?" A man with gray hair steped out, his black and white robes shifting as he glared up at the sky.

" Apologies, sect master rock, but we are not accustomed to operating the sky carriage. We lowered it as close to the ground as we could." One of the four figures in the sky held his fists before him while bowing his head.

" Humph! All of this time and you still don't know how to properly land a carriage?! Do you all want to be stripped of your elder titles?" Sect master rock's eyes narrowed as he asked.

" Please forgive us, sect master." The four grasped their fists before them, as they said.

" Get lost from here! And take this thing with you!" Sect master rock shouted, as 4 girls with varying appearances walked out of the carriage.

" Humph!" As he watched their retreating figures, he snorted.

" Kyaa!"

" Ah..."

" Hehe!"

"..."

Levi watched as elder rock's figure floated from the ground.

The reactions of the four girls differed, as elder rock lifted them with qi.

" Hmm?!" As he landed of the large cushion, elder rock glared down at the people.

" Calm down sect master! Getting angry is bad for you health, hehe." One of the girls giggled seductively, as she slid her cushion closer to elder rock.

She gently placed one hand on his back and the other on his chest.

He looked down at the girl, greed aparent in his eyes.

"....Humph! You still aren't going to greet me?!" Elder rock shouted, as he looked away from the girl.

" Ah...!"

" W-We welcome the sect master!" The people bowed as they said.

' Is that really him? The face is the same, but his hair is gray?' Levi thought, as he glared up at elder rock from his bowing position, carefully concealing his killing intent.

" You all already know why i am here, so don't waste any more of my time! All of the virgin girls step forward! The rest of you step back!" He shouted with disdain.

"..."

' Don't waste any of your time?!'

' Who was it that had to wait here for more than half a day?!'

' Sigh, all we, as the weak can do, is endure.'

The people thought silently, wide smiles still plastered on their faces.

Some parents let go of their daughters arms with trembling hands, showing their reluctance.

While others offered their unwilling children up, either out of selfishness or greed.

Even some middle aged women shamelessly went to the front.

Levi observed silently.

' Should i used my silk to attack him now that he isn't paying attention?' He thought.

'....No. That coward is cautious.'

' I still haven't seen any of the soldiers. While i did kill a lot of them, at least some should still be alive.'

' Do they really have nothing to do with this, then? Or did they find out about me?' Levi thought silently.

"....I will observe and wait for now." He mumbled to himself, as he watched the people moving and shifting, making way for each other.
