The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: The Person Who Claims to Be of the Divine Race, The Might of Brother Flathead
Li Jiaojiao looked over and was startled.

The eyes of several children were emitting a blue, ghostly light, and their eyes were lifeless, as if they were under someone’s control.

“This situation is similar to being affected by the ‘Soul Control Technique’”, Jia Yulan muttered, her expression growing even more solemn.

Ever since Huo Yunjie had brought back the “Soul Control Technique” to Beacon Fire City, all disciples had practiced it, to some extent, although most were only at the beginner level, they had at least mastered the basics of the soul-controlling art.

Now, seeing the condition of these children, Jia Yulan felt a sense of familiarity.

“No, there’s a difference from the ‘Soul Control Technique’, but it’s almost the same,” Jia Yulan’s expression subtly changed, remaining vigilant of her surroundings at all times.

“Yu Lan junior sister, what do you think we should do?” Li Jiaojiao asked.

“There must be someone behind this, we shouldn’t alarm them. Let’s quietly follow,” Jia Yulan suggested a plan.

“Just the two of us, can we handle it?” Li Jiaojiao was still timid and quite worried.

“You guys just go ahead, I’m here,” a voice suddenly echoed in the minds of the two women, and they quickly turned around to find Brother Flathead standing in the howling wind, head held high and proud, his hairstyle impeccable.

“That’s right, Brother Flathead is here!”

With their confidence bolstered, the two women followed the controlled children, being careful not to startle them and potentially cause harm.

After a challenging journey over hills and mountains, half a stick of incense later, they arrived at the midway point of a dirt hill and discovered an oddly dilapidated courtyard.

“Someone used to live here?” Jia Yulan murmured.

“I’ve never heard of other people living in the mountains; this place isn’t supposed to have a courtyard…” Li Jiaojiao furrowed her brows.

“Someone’s coming!” Jia Yulan, who was deploying the First Grade Spell “All-Dimensional Spiritual Perception”, sensed someone walking out from within the courtyard, and quickly pulled Li Jiaojiao behind a large tree to hide.

Under their watchful eyes, a handsome young man in a blue robe walked out of the courtyard’s main gate, standing in front of the five children.

“Heh heh! After lying dormant for three years, I’ve finally regained my vitality and mastered that cultivation technique, but for now, I can only attract a few children of the Human Race. After consuming them, the soul power I can absorb is still too little,” the handsome youth murmured to himself in a slightly odd dialect of the human language.

Hiding behind the trees, Jia Yulan and Li Jiaojiao swallowed hard; they didn’t expect this handsome young man to be so cruel!

At this moment, the young man released control over the children, causing the blue light in their eyes to fade away, returning to normal.

“Where is this?”

“Is this big brother an Immortal? He’s so handsome!”

The children were first startled and then, looking at the young man’s handsome face, felt a comforting sense of security.

“Immortal? Ha! I am a descendant of the Divine Race; how could I be a lowly Immortal?” the handsome youth sneered, his mouth suddenly widening grotesquely, like that of a shark, and bit towards one of the children.

“It’s a demon!”

“Help!”

The children were so frightened they stumbled and wet themselves.

“How dare you!”

Li Jiaojiao and Jia Yulan leaped out at the same time, one casting the “Binding Spirit Rope” to enwrap the children and pulling them to safety, while the other cast the First Grade Spell “Spirit Disc Flying Blade”, sending several blades of light slashing out.

“I knew about you lot already!” the self-proclaimed descendant of the Divine Race retorted with a sneer, his body floating lightly backward as trees and rocks around him took flight, blocking the blades of light.

“It’s the Immortal Fairy sisters!” The children saw Jia Yulan and Li Jiaojiao and clapped their hands with excitement.

Jia Yulan, staring at the shark-mouthed youth, demanded sternly, “Who are you, and why are you attacking innocent children?”

“I am a descendant of the Divine Race, naturally, I am divine, and you are nothing more than our food,” the shark-mouthed youth said coldly.

“You also deserve to be called a divine? Aren’t divinities supposed to be very powerful?” Jia Yulan’s eyebrows knitted together.

“Yu Lan, this person is a bit strange; he can use powers similar to Heroic Spirit Power. I can’t gauge his exact cultivation level, which is not good for us,” Li Jiaojiao recalled the way the surrounding rocks had automatically blocked their path and deduced this point.

“Foolish! That’s called Divine Sense Power, capable of controlling all things, a method of our Divine Race,” the youth boasted with a proud laugh, “You two are at most of a middle phase third rank in Divine Sense Power, while I am at the peak of the third rank. Devouring you, I will certainly break through the fourth rank!”

“What’s all this about third rank and fourth rank? It’s all gibberish; we don’t have these cultivation realms here,” Jia Yulan felt the shark-mouthed youth was strange. Even assuming he was a so-called descendant of the Divine Race, wasn’t the Shenzhou Continent divided into realms like Gazing Breath Realm, Qi Refining Realm, Element Gathering Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, and Divine Origin Realm?

Could it be… this person was not from the Shenzhou Continent?

“I can’t be bothered to waste words on food like you, I’ll just eat you.” A bizarre blue glowing symbol suddenly appeared on the young man with the shark mouth’s forehead, emitting special light waves that vibrated outward.

The very next moment, Jia Yulan, Li Jiaojiao, and several children from Qingling Village all discovered that their bodies were immobilized by some invisible force, unable to move.

“What kind of power is this?” Jia Yulan exclaimed in alarm, quickly unleashing the peak aura of the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement to break free from part of the oppression. She hastily formed a hand seal and pointed at the young man with the shark mouth from afar.

Boom!

A Vitality Bullet shot forward with high speed.

“Trifling trick!”

The young man with the shark mouth scoffed, his eyes and the symbol on his forehead glowing simultaneously. Multiple waves of light struck out, making the speed of the Vitality Bullet slow progressively until it finally collapsed in midair.

“What a strong technique!”

Jia Yulan and Li Jiaojiao’s expressions became extremely grave.

If even a Vitality Bullet couldn’t get close, they feared they would be unable to escape as well.

“I told you, you’re merely at a mid-tier third-grade standard, how can you compare with a peak third-grade like me?” The young man with the shark mouth kept advancing towards Jia Yulan and Li Jiaojiao, his mouth wide open, his face ferocious.

“Ah, so scary!”

The children had never seen such a scene before and were so frightened that they blacked out and fainted on the spot.

“Falling Petals in Profusion!”

Jia Yulan erupted with all her strength once again and was finally able to move. She formed hand seals and numerous sharp petals tore through the air, striking at the young man with the shark mouth with an alarming momentum.

“Useless!”

The young man with the shark mouth’s eyes and forehead symbol glowed again, the speed of all the petals decreased drastically, they trembled violently, then shattered into flecks of spiritual light.

“He must be at least on the level of a Demi-transformed Demon Beast, on par with the Black Patterned Serpent Demon; we’re no match for him.” Li Jiaojiao was terrified.

In her view, even if her body wasn’t suppressed by the Divine Sense Power, she still couldn’t defeat the young man with the shark mouth.

Jia Yulan’s hands trembled. After the previous clash, she realized she had underestimated the young man with the shark mouth; she was no match for him at all.

“It’s a pity we haven’t mastered the Sword Drawing Technique; otherwise, one strike could have taken him down!” Jia Yulan clenched her fists, swearing to herself that once she returned, she would train hard in the Sword Drawing Technique.

“Muttering to yourself? Do you think you two are fit to be my opponents?” The young man with the shark mouth sneered viciously, biting towards Jia Yulan.

In that moment, overwhelming Divine Sense Power descended and completely subdued Jia Yulan; even when she exerted all her Cultivation Technique, she couldn’t break free.

“So, he let me free earlier on purpose just to toy with us!” Jia Yulan suddenly realized, finally recognizing the vast gap between her and the young man with the shark mouth.

“You’re only understanding now? Too late, die!”

The young man with the shark mouth laughed heartily, instantly arriving in front of Jia Yulan, his mouth releasing a vile stench that was nauseating.

“Brother Flathead!” At this point, Jia Yulan could only call for help.

“Someone else?” The young man with the shark mouth’s gaze sharpened as he suddenly noticed a figure clad in a strange cloak appear in the sky, seemingly small but exuding a terrifying aura.

“A… a fourth-grade powerhouse!” The young man with the shark mouth’s pupils contracted and he turned to flee.

Rip!

Brother Flathead appeared in a flash, his claws piercing through the young man with the shark mouth’s skull, tearing it apart effortlessly and swallowing it in a few bites before letting out a satisfied burp.

After doing all this, Brother Flathead folded his arms, gazed up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, leaving behind a majestic silhouette for Jia Yulan and Li Jiaojiao.

“This guy was too weak, tonight’s fight wasn’t satisfying. I’m off to find a Demon General in the Taiyue Mountain Range to battle!”

Brother Flathead’s voice echoed in the minds of Jia Yulan and Li Jiaojiao, and then, he flew toward the depths of the Taiyue Mountain Range.

“Don’t go!”

Jia Yulan and Li Jiaojiao shouted, but Brother Flathead didn’t listen and disappeared into the vast night.

Whir!

Just then, strange fluctuations emanated from the courtyard. The two women hurriedly looked, only to see the once dilapidated courtyard evaporate like mist under the sun, leaving behind only a crater.

The previous courtyard was just an illusion!

“What’s that?”

Li Jiaojiao pointed at the center of the crater, having made a new discovery.
