Chapter 581 - 581 Heart Demon, No Entry Forbidden Area
581 Heart Demon, No Entry Forbidden Area
“Drip!” Several drops of dark-red dragon blood fell outside the gate of the Cangqing Courtyard like a light rain. Even more dragon blood was frozen in the air above the outer court, against gravity.
After that, the dark-red liquid that had doubled was thrown away like garbage, just like the sixth young master of the Austen family who tried barging into the outer courtyard of Cangqing Courtyard for the second time.
“Bang!”
The middle-aged man who rushed over happened to see a shocking scene: His son, who used to be arrogant and domineering, was now drenched in his own blood. He looked extremely pathetic and no longer had the spirit of a dragon.
Moreover, the dragon youth clearly couldn’t stand anymore, but it was as if he had been possessed by a demon as he desperately crawled toward the courtyard like a ghost.
It had only been a month since he left home, but to think Gale had become like this.
To be honest, Bretton could not accept it.
“Gale?!” He shouted in shock.
Gale heard his father’s call behind him, but at this moment, his heart and eyes were filled with the courtyard that had become his heart’s demon. The Cangqing Courtyard represented the hope of cultivating to become a celestial and recovery.
But why was it suddenly impossible to enter that courtyard? A few days ago, he had already stepped into the outer courtyard. He was only short of chasing Geer away to occupy the inner courtyard as well.
Now that the other party had already left for a few days, this courtyard had become land without an owner. Why was he unable to enter?
Gale stared at the Cangqing Courtyard in a daze. A warm sensation rose in his throat. With a “pfft”, he spat out a stream of stinky dark-red blood that was mixed with pieces of his internal organs.
He reached out and touched the ancient door that had been stained with the marks of time. The next moment, the feeling of suspension came again. The sixth young master, who had already predicted this, smiled coldly and closed his eyes.
“Bang!” With another solid sound of something landing on the ground, Gale had already fallen into a semi-unconscious state. His eyes were clearly closed, but he still seemed to see a courtyard in front of him that he simply could not reach. That image was engraved in his heart, becoming an obsession that he could never get in his life.
Before he completely fainted, he muttered inaudibly, his words accompanied by blood, “On… On what basis?”
After personally witnessing his son being sent flying once again, while he himself was intimidated by some kind of terrifying power, Bretton’s eyes were bloodshot as he ran over.
“My son!”
Gale was lying on the dirty ground, his clothes and hair covered in blood.
Seeing that the dragon youth was bleeding from his seven orifices and his body was convulsing, Bretton was shocked. He hurriedly rushed to his son’s side and leaned over to check on his son’s condition.
Although Gale was still breathing weakly, his physical condition had been completely crippled! In other words, even if Bretton could find a rare treasure now, he would not be able to change the situation!
At this time, the grand elder and the other dragons who were following closely behind also arrived at the scene. When they saw the scene of Bretton roaring toward the sky, their hearts skipped a beat and they did not dare to ask whether Gale was dead.
The members of the side branches who had followed along to watch the show were happy.
“Oh my, judging by this situation, even if he’s not dead yet, he won’t live for more than a few days!”
“W-what did you say?” Bretton clenched his fists, and the clothes on his body burst from the warrior’s power that was triggered in his body.
The other dragons also looked at the blabbermouth in disbelief. They held their breaths and silently mourned in their hearts, “Have a safe journey.”
Bretton’s sinister gaze swept across the dragons one by one. Perhaps it was because he still had some rationality left in his heart, but he suddenly pointed at a guard and shouted, “You! Go in!”
“What? …Me?!” The guard was shocked.
Even though he had just followed them here, he could piece together the important information that “no one is allowed to enter the Cangqing Courtyard at will” from the tragic scene in front of him.
To sum it up in one sentence, “whoever enters dies”. He would not seek his own death!
“Yes, you!” Veins popped up on Bretton’s forehead. He seemed to overlap with Gale who had gone crazy just now.
“If you don’t go over now, I’ll get your family to come over!” He laughed sinisterly.
The guard clenched his fists, but he could not move his feet. Of course, he could die, but he still had his parents, his wife, and his son… However, he could not win against someone stronger than him!
“Alright, I’ll go!” The guard said, “But before I go, you have to give me a sum of money to settle my family affairs. Just take it as money to buy my life!”
Bretton casually threw a heavy money bag at the guard’s face.
“Hurry up!”
The guard gritted his teeth and called a fellow villager over to tell him to give two-thirds of it to his wide. The two tacitly made a heart demon oath before the villager left.
After his good friend had probably left the Austen family mansion, the guard straightened his back and glanced at the “elders”. Without saying anything, he walked straight to the gate of Cangqing Courtyard’s outer courtyard and stepped in…
In the next instant, blood splattered everywhere as the guard died! Seeing this, the dragons retreated in shock.
After witnessing this scene, even with the stakes of tens of thousands of their family’s wealth, no one would be willing to bet their lives!
Bretton’s face was gloomy, his eyes staring at the Cangqing Courtyard.
The dragons behind him did not even dare to breathe loudly. They were afraid that this lunatic would make them, the children of the noble, risk their lives!
“Bang, bang, bang!” The sound of footsteps that sounded as if something was hitting the ground rang out. The dragons who were pretending to be blind looked towards the sound and realized that Bretton had actually used all his strength. Every step he took left a big hole in the ground.
One should know that the floor of the Austen family was made of extremely hard black crystal blocks!
However, such a powerful warrior, whose strength could be ranked in the top 100 in the entire dragon continent, only stopped at the outer court’s threshold for less than a second before being ejected from the invisible barrier just like his son Gale!
“Pfft!” Bretton spat out a large mouthful of blood. In the blink of an eye, he was another bloody man. Not only that, but after the grand elder went over to check on the other party, his face immediately turned livid.
Bretton clearly didn’t even stay in the Cangqing Courtyard for even a second. In the past, he had slaughtered enemies on the battlefield and still remained safe and sound. But now, his soul was actually severely injured!
“Men, carry them down,” The grand elder forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart and made arrangements for various matters.
He didn’t dare to show any signs of panic. The Austen family had lost three powerful warriors in a row. If the news got out, it would only take a day for the whole building to collapse!
After ordering the dragons to keep it a secret or be punished, a dragon said in a trembling voice, “Then, then what about this courtyard?”
Upon hearing this, some elders felt that it was a pity.
“We can’t just let it be, right? This is a treasure land that’s good for cultivation!”
“If you want to die, go by yourself! Don’t drag the Austen family into this!” The grand elder shouted angrily and left.
He only left one sentence, “From now on, Cangqing Courtyardyard is a forbidden land!”
The dragons looked at each other, wondering if there was a spirit or evil in this yard. Otherwise, why would they suddenly be unable to enter a perfectly fine courtyard?
Although they were surprised, they didn’t dare to try. In the end, they could only attribute it to the “manifestation of Geer’s parents”. On the other hand, the grand elder, who had left this place and returned to his residence, felt increasingly uneasy.
Such a magical method could not be created by luck. Could it be that there was really a God behind Geer?
Thinking of this, his face turned pale.
He could only repeatedly persuade himself that “the golden hall has lower realm half-celestials and an upper realm celestial array. No matter who it is, they will die”. Only then could he barely fall asleep. However, after lying down for less than 15 minutes, he was woken up from a nightmare.
He was bewildered and uneasy. Even with celestials and arrays, could they really trap Geer?
