Exiled Clan - 81 En

“Iclyn are you sure he is the one we are looking for?”

“He can change his face but he can’t change his behavior, I am almost certain he is my disciple.”

“But that doesn’t make sense he entered into the event with us, and he was a solid background even some elders can vouch for his identity.” Elder Wu tried to reason with his niece. Elder Wu had never approved of the new disciple accepted by her niece.

“Hmm we just need to make sure he is safe, uncle did you contact the sect?” Iclyn inquired about the matter of reinforcements.

“The matter concerning the Tranquil Forest is very serious all the sects are sending over a regiment of elders who will deal with the matter.”

“What happens till then?”

“We are to hold the fort, I suppose” Elder Wu commented as he ran his hands through his beard.

Far of in another tent elders who had gathered were clamoring,

“How long until they send reinforcements, the red sky is almost above us.”

“Don’t freak out brother we are tasked with a very important task we are to defend this location till the ancestors of the sect arrive” the grey-robed elder from the Valley of Swords spoke authoritatively, his usual friendly demeanor was long gone.

“Yes, we must not lose our heart, after all, we aren’t sure what has befallen on us, it might not really be a Demonic Gate.” the blacksmith elder Wang said trying to diffuse the tense situation with his optimistic approach.

While both these tents were full of elders discussing their plans to cope till the reinforcements arrived, another tent where Rudra was supposed to be flashed with a light,

“Damn it has been long since I read this book!” Rudra commented as he used a flash mystic spell to provide himself with a light source while he read the texts written in crimson red ink on the pitch-black sheets of the Exiled Demon Sutra.

Flipping through the section where different demonic techniques and arts were recorded, Rudra planned to increase his arsenal as he only knew how to cultivate the Demonic Qi but not many offensive or defensive Demonic Techniques.

“Supreme Demon Flame Technique””Find a demonic flame to cultivate.”

“Nine Dog Bite “” Replace one’s head with a Cerberus head.”

“Wendingo Art””A shapeshifter demon requires the blood of an actual Wendigo.”

“Hmm, most of these don’t suit my elements, where are the ones related to the Wood and Earth Demonic Qi.”

The sound of pages being flipped was the only sound produced as the usual chirping of the incests in the night had long gone missing. Under the yellowish-white light of the spell, Rudra spent the whole night reading the Manual, some mystic techniques, and certain useful Demonic Techniques.

“It seems I can only learn these techniques for now.” Rudra looked at the list of Demonic Techniques that suited him and he was willing to learn as most of the techniques required one to transplant a part of the Demons body into one’s own or stuff like living sacrifices of infants that Rudra was not comfortable doing.

Rudra read through the details written beside these arts.

“Ent’s Body Art”, A art that coverts your body into the Demonic Ent gaining, an Ent was a very special existence they as a species were like humans neutral as whole but demonic Ents were a vile branch of the race that instead of nurturing life preferred to take life instead.

“Berserk Art”An Art that suited his Marauder Qi, it was best used with a heavy weapon.

Cultivating these arts would help in progress the cultivation of both his Demonic Qis, the Ent’s body was an Art with a total of 5 stages and every jump in the stage meant a significant leap in power.

“If the Demonic Qi converts the Tranquil Forest into the demonic forest then using this Art I can turn the whole forest into my Ent body’s extension. I would have eyes in every tree in the forest every branch would become my arm every root my spear.” Rudra thought as he read through the text,

“Ent’s Body Art”using his Yaksha Qi in his Demonic Heart he started circulating the Qi as demonstrated by the diagrams drawn on the black sheet of the Manual as he muttered the required chants.

“Initiation is successful” Rudra muttered feeling the changes in his body as an apparition of a small Ent appeared inside the green side of his Demonic Heart.

“Now onto the next one, hope I don’t go crazy cultivating it,” Rudra said reading the warnings associated with the Art description alarming one to be careful while cultivating this technique.
