Corrupt Creations-Chapter 389

Chapter 389: Show

For the people who lived in the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, hearing about a technique that could trace a person’s blood ties, didn’t sound as anything special. However, just as if everyone was watching the scene of a dramatic novel playing out, their eyes shone with interest and curiosity.

The Sanctuary Master slowly made his way to the elevated platform, where the main characters of that scene, were being held against their will. Heck, one of them wasn’t even in condition to express his will, but at that moment, no one really cared about it anymore. They just wanted to see the show unfold.

After he stepped in that stage, he stealthily used a thin and untraceable Mana thread, to form a sound transmission that entered Meiyi’s ears, so only she would hear it.

“You better stay quiet and cooperate, or I’ll kill him right here.”

Meiyi’s body jolted, but she went still right after.

It was totally unnecessary for the Sanctuary Master to make such an overbearing threat, but he enjoyed instilling fear on that poor girl’s mind. Deep down, he was envious of her being the target of desire of his worshipped goddess.

The Sanctuary Master suddenly made a motion with both of his hands and a shallow wound opened up on each of the two people being held as prisoners. A drop of blood formed on the surface of those wounds, but it soon started to float, moving through the air till it stopped at the frontal area of that stage, where everyone could see it.

.....

The Sanctuary Master silently revolved his Mana, casting the special technique developed by the goddess, to trace their bloodline origins. Purple strands of energy flew away from him, creating a complicated array around those two drops of blood.

Everyone could see they were getting energized by powerful Mana fluctuations, making the bloodline within it, react like two magnets. If they were to have none or distant ties, they would repel each other, but if they were to have close ties, like those of father and daughter, then those two drops of blood would merge and shine in purple.

However, differently from what he had expected, those two drops of blood didn’t immediately merge together. It seemed like Meiyi’s drop of blood, was actually resisting the technique; the technique created by the almighty goddess!

The array kept interacting with those drops of blood for more than thirty seconds, but nothing different happened, creating a very awkward environment.

The Sanctuary Master’s countenance visibly changed and he even felt his heart skipping a beat, but a few seconds later, the two drops of blood merged together and shone in a purple light. The technique had worked as intended, but that delay had caught him off guard.

Every single one of the Elders saw what had happened, but none of them were able to understand it. Some of them had already witnessed that technique before and they knew it would work almost as if instantaneously. That strange delay had made them feel something was odd, but none of them could point what it was.

The Sanctuary Master turned to face the Elders and awkwardly said: “A-As you can see, the two of them are actually father and daughter, there is no mistaking it.”

His voice wasn’t as firm as before and his momentum had decreased quite a bit, but the facts were still laid before everyone’s eyes. The girl and the prisoner that still had his identity hidden, were indeed related by blood. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

To reignite the flames of his flawless victory, the Sanctuary Master decided on proceeding to the last phase of his plan.

“Now, I’m going to show you all, who was the one who sinned against our people!”

When he heard those words, the Grand Elder and his wife, felt a chill running down their spines. It happened suddenly and at the same time on both of them, as if their blood and genes knew danger was approaching.

Up until that point, they were still trying to close their eyes and ignore the dozens of hints and coincidences in front of them, but in that single instant, they knew something was wrong.

As they trembled to the possibility of a nightmare in real life happening, the other Elders also started to lightly tremble. However, it wasn’t from fear, but from a cold breeze that had suddenly invaded the entire hall.

A few minutes before that ceremony had started, Arwen had finished preparing everything for the upcoming conflict. She turned towards Lan Xue, who was standing right in front of that strange barrier and said: “Everything is ready. You can already go.”

Lan Xue didn’t even wait for Arwen to finish saying those words, before she infused her energy inside that bloodline barrier, quickly opening a gap and jumping right inside. Her petite body turned into ice crystals, swiftly disappearing from sight.

Right after she left, the barrier closed itself, leaving Arwen alone on the outside.

Lan Xue took to the skies and stormed her way towards the area where she could sense lots of auras converging together. However, her objective wasn’t exactly to get near, but to attack them from afar.

When she felt that she had reached a good enough distance, a place from where she could safely attack the enemy, she just kept waiting for the right signal, while silently accumulating energy.

Lan Xue was feeling like destroying everything around that area, in order to vent her gloomy feelings, but she held that urge down. If it weren’t for Seth and his objective, she would be more than content, to send that whole territory directly into an ice age, burying everyone in a deep layer of snow.

Fortunately for her, the signal came fast.

After receiving Seth’s message, Lan Xue raised both of her small pristine hands and slowly, her Mana started to form a very thin and quiet layer of snow crystals. They danced from side to side, before they started swirling around her.

With every passing second, they expanded a bit farther than before, while also getting a bit colder than before.
