C577 Inhuman Lair

Lee Zhuohua looked at the dilapidated temple that Gongyan entered. There was an extremely filthy aura surrounding it, causing him to be secretly shocked as he looked at it from afar.

This aura was the same as the aura of the Inhuman.

"What's going on? Why is there such a strong Inhuman aura here? What is Gongyan doing in such a place?" After Lee Zhuohua discovered that it was the aura of a strange person, he knew the seriousness of the matter.

He wanted to follow Gongyan into the ruined temple, but he saw that the strange aura in the ruined temple was extremely strong, and he was worried that there would be an ambush inside, so he did not dare to act rashly.

However, Lee Zhuohua wouldn't just wait here. He looked around and wanted to scout the surroundings.

With that thought, he left the place. With the temple as the center, he slowly approached the temple and started searching the surroundings.

...

This dilapidated temple was where the nest of Dung Tianzuo and Hsingbojun was located. There were a lot of transformed mutants guarding the place. As soon as Gongyan entered the temple, the clarity in his eyes completely disappeared and was replaced by two streaks of scarlet.

Right above the ruined temple, there was a broken mud statue. It must have been the temple's original deity, but due to the years of disrepair and loss of visitors, the temple had fallen into ruin. It had now become the lair of the Other.

As soon as Gongyan arrived in front of this broken statue, he stood still and did not make a sound. He was waiting for the others to appear.

"You've returned?" An evil voice suddenly sounded, and then a figure slowly walked out from the shadow of the broken temple.

Due to the light, the face of the person who had arrived could not be seen clearly. However, his scarlet eyes were extremely frightening in the darkness.

The person who came was Dung Tianzuo, and behind him was a beautiful figure with a wooden expression. It was the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce's president, Zhao Hanyan.

When Gongyan heard Dung Tianzuo's voice, he immediately knelt down on one knee. Although he was an Earth Charge Realm Cultivator, he was still under the control of Dung Tianzuo, which was why he showed such a submissive attitude.

"I have not failed my mission and have already taken back what the master said." As Gongyan spoke, he took out the box he had taken from Jing Jingxuan.

Dung Tianzuo's mouth twitched slightly as soon as he saw the box in Gongyan's hand, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Give it to me," Dung Tianzuo said lightly.

He then handed the box over to her.

Dung Tianzuo did not open the box as soon as he received it. Instead, he caressed the casing of the box as if he was deep in thought.

He stared at the box in his hand for a long time before putting it away and turning his gaze back to Gongyan.

"Well done," Dung Tianzuo praised softly.

"Thank you for your praise, Master." Gongyan's face lit up when he heard Dung Tianzuo's praise, and he lowered his head even more.

Previously, he had not satisfied Dung Tianzuo because of what had happened to Lee Zhuohua, and even now, he was still worried about how the master would punish him. But now that he had completed the mission, and the master had praised him, he felt that he had escaped a calamity.

Dung Tianzuo looked at Gongyan, who was half-kneeling in front of him, with a profound look in his eyes. He seemed to be able to see through his thoughts at this moment.

"However, the merit is not enough - you will still be punished for what you did last time," Dung Tianzuo changed the topic.

As soon as these words came out, the joy on Gongyan's face disappeared and his heart immediately sank.

"Master ..." Gongyan raised his head in horror, wanting to beg for mercy.

However, Dung Tianzuo didn't give him a chance to speak. He waved his right hand at Gongyan, and the scarlet in his eyes flashed.

And then, Gongyan seemed to be confined, unable to move. Only his eyes were rolling in fear, and the thing he feared in his heart had finally happened.

A wicked smile appeared on his face as Dung Tianzuo locked Gongyan in place. He waved his hands in front of his chest, and a turbid breath of air gushed out of his hands and attacked Gongyan.

As soon as this aura entered Gongyan's body, the scarlet in his eyes dimmed a little, and then his essence, energy, and spirit began to wither at an extremely fast rate. Even his black hair at his temples was instantly covered in white frost.

Dung Tianzuo, on the other hand, had a strange red color on his face and his eyes were bright red. His expression was one of enjoyment.

"I'll take away fifty percent of your Qi and blood. I hope you can learn your lesson." Dung Tianzuo said as he enjoyed the Qi and blood that he had taken from Gongyan's body. His lips moved slightly as he spoke.

At this moment, Gongyan's eyes were filled with fear, and other than his eyeballs being able to move, his body could not move at all. He felt the power of blood in his body rapidly disappear, and a sense of fatigue assaulted him.

After a long time.

Dung Tianzuo withdrew his aura and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. His face was flushed red, and he seemed to be very satisfied.

Although Gongyan had regained his mobility, he felt as if he had aged dozens of years after losing fifty percent of his Qi and blood. He slumped to the ground, his black hair almost white, and the skin on his face as old as chicken skin.

"Thank you, my lord, for not killing me." However, Gongyan still thanked Dung Tianzuo weakly, but the dejection in his eyes was very desolate.

"Yes, you can go down. It's only fifty percent of your qi and blood. Absorb a few more people's blood and you'll be fine. But don't blame me for telling you that next time you fail the mission, you'll be completely drained." Dung Tianzuo waved his hand and dismissed Gongyan. As he finished speaking, there was another flash of scarlet in his eyes, which was very evil.

"Yes..." When Gongyan heard Dung Tianzuo's words, he struggled to his feet and staggered backward. Losing 50% of his Qi and blood was a huge blow to him, and he needed to find fresh blood to replenish himself as soon as possible. The scarlet in his eyes also slightly flashed.

Dung Tianzuo's gaze froze as soon as he saw Gongyan leave. He turned to look at Zhao Hanyan, who was standing beside him like a puppet.

"Hey, now that everything is ready, I think the Lord will be able to land on the old man's body. What a pity. If the Lord hadn't come down and needed a virgin, I would have taken you long ago, but there's no rush. When the Lord comes, I'll give you a good time." Dung Tianzuo stroked Zhao Hanyan's cheek as he spoke. His tone was very light and he didn't hide it at all.

Zhao Hanyan didn't react at all to Dung Tianzuo's disrespect. He didn't know what Dung Tianzuo had done to her, but she was now like a puppet without any thoughts of her own.

...

After Lee Zhuohua searched the surroundings of the broken temple, he found that there were many restrictions set up, and these restrictions were not for attacking. They were all the kind of restrictions that could trap the enemy's message. Seeing these restrictions, Lee Zhuohua became even more concerned about the situation in the broken temple.

"The aura of the Inhumans, Gongyan, and the First Prince of Gu Yang, what exactly is the connection between the three of them?" Lee Zhuohua thought in his heart.

He wanted to enter the broken temple to scout, but he was afraid of alerting the enemy, and was even more afraid of the threat that was beyond his imagination, so he did not make a move.

While Lee Zhuohua was pondering over the suspicious points of this broken temple, Gongyan, who had lost 50% of his qi and blood power, slowly walked out of the broken temple.

"Hmm?" Although Lee Zhuohua had been checking out the situation around the broken temple, his attention had always been focused on the entrance of the broken temple, so he noticed Gongyan the moment he came out.
