Chapter 1277 - 1274: Bluffing

If it were Du Peng, he definitely wouldn't abandon her, right?

However, there's no regret medicine in the world.

"Take care of yourself."

Chu Hao left.

Nie Feifei and the others' lives and deaths, he wouldn't concern himself with; there were too many people escaping Coral Island, how many could he manage?

Besides, Chu Hao was not a saint.

Chu Hao took out the Devil Mask and put it on, concealing the aura of a human; his body emitted the aura of the Necromancer Clan, and his appearance changed considerably.

Furthermore, his pupils turned a dead fish-like white.

He swiftly ventured deeper into Coral Island, moving like lightning.

Along the way, whenever he encountered slightly stronger members of the Necromancer Clan, he would eliminate them; after all, a bit of Experience Points is still something.

Chu Hao was nearing the central outskirts.

Just after eliminating a Necromancer Clan member, he was about to leave.

"Come here, the General is calling for us to gather."

A Necromancer Clan member, carrying a bloodied Wolf Fang Club, pointed at Chu Hao.

The Devil Mask was indeed powerful; without it, he wouldn't understand what this Necromancer Clan member was saying, as low-level Necromancer Clan members couldn't speak the language of the Shanhai Realm.

Chu Hao asked doubtfully, "Which General?"

The Necromancer Clan member replied, "General Ailimu; if you delay the General's matters, you'll be in big trouble."

The General, could it be a King Realm Necromancer Clan member?

"Alright." Chu Hao followed him.

The Necromancer Clan member suddenly turned his head and said, "You look different from me, have you cultivated to the Reincarnation Realm?"

Chu Hao had no clue what the Reincarnation Realm was, but he nodded and said, "Yes."

The big-bodied Necromancer Clan member immediately saluted and said, "Sir, I apologize for my earlier offense."

Chu Hao pondered internally, considering that the Reincarnation Realm could transform the appearance of the Necromancer Clan members, making them look like ordinary humans.

Chu Hao said, "No problem."

The Necromancer Clan member didn't think much of it; after all, the Devil Mask altered the aura so thoroughly that even the Foreign Ghosts couldn't recognize it.

Continuing along the path, taking shortcuts, Chu Hao noticed a large number of Necromancer Clan members in the area; it was a gathering place for them.

Chu Hao discovered that the Necromancer Clan members had captured many people; some were tied up like pigs waiting to be slaughtered, completely disregarding them as humans.

Some of them were evidently on the brink of death, left in a corner, pitifully.

These Necromancer Clan members were truly brutal.

Among the crowd, some despaired, while others scanned their surroundings, looking for any chance to escape.

Walking through, Chu Hao saw numerous disheveled people locked inside cages.

Among this group, Chu Hao unexpectedly spotted a few familiar figures.

Qin Wushuang's face was pale, seemingly injured, with hands and feet bound, thrown into a corner of the cage.

The renowned genius of the Purple Guard, ranked eleventh in the star competition, had fallen to such a state.

Besides Qin Wushuang, there was Xin Yun, Su Yaojing's close friend, looking extremely worried.

With all these people here, where were Jiang Haotian and Jiang Haoyue?

Sure enough, Chu Hao scanned the crowd and indeed found Jiang Haotian.

At this moment, Jiang Haotian was not in despair; he was contemplating how to escape, looking quite disheveled.

The Necromancer Clan member noticed Chu Hao had stopped and asked, "Sir, is something wrong?"

Chu Hao replied, "When were these people captured?"

The Necromancer Clan member said, "The General captured them; initially, they resisted, but after the General ate quite a few, they dared not act recklessly."

Chu Hao was certain that the General must be a powerful Yin-Yang King; otherwise, who else could capture so many Purple Guards?

"This is really troublesome." Chu Hao muttered.

Chu Hao was puzzled; where was that brat Jiang Haoyue? Had he been eaten?

If he had been eaten, it would certainly save trouble.

At that moment, a tall and robust Necromancer Clan member approached, wearing black gold armor; his appearance was not hideous, rather similar to a human, yet he exuded the strong aura that a Necromancer Clan member should have.

A group of Necromancer Clan members immediately said, "General."

The burly Necromancer Clan member, General Ailimu, said, "Escort all these people away and present them to the master."

The people in the cages were unaware of their fate.

The Necromancer Clan member who brought Chu Hao walked to the General, whispering something.

General Ailimu turned his head toward Chu Hao's direction.

Chu Hao had a bad feeling.

General Ailimu walked over and said, "A member of the Soul Restoration Realm? Didn't expect to find you in my area; whose subordinate are you?"

In such situations, Chu Hao was already accustomed; able to improvise, lie without blushing, and deceive cleverly.

Chu Hao casually said, "Whose subordinate I am, the General need not know."

General Ailimu frowned, coldly asking, "Why not?"

Chu Hao continued to bluff, saying, "There are some things that the General is better off not knowing; the more you know, the worse it is for you."

General Ailimu looked suspicious, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "May I know what you're here for?"

Chu Hao replied, "The master sent me to find some tasty food, since it's been too long since the master last ate. However, the master is very picky, and I have searched several areas without finding suitable food."

General Ailimu was surprised; is his master really that picky?

A Necromancer Clan with such picky tastes must have a significant background.

Indeed, within the Necromancer Clan, there are many eccentric figures with great power that even Ailimu couldn't touch, and their subordinates are all strong.

Chu Hao remained calm, displaying an air of confidence, leading Ailimu to partially believe him.

The General's mind raced, and he laughed, saying, "Sir, I have some tasty food here; if you like it, you can take some."

Chu Hao smiled, "Aren't you taking these people away? Is that appropriate?"

General Ailimu laughed heartily, "There are many foods here, a few won't make much difference."

The Necromancer Clan General led Chu Hao to the cages and said, "Sir, take a look at these foods."

He pointed to Qin Wushuang, Xin Yun, Jiang Haotian, and others.

Chu Hao shook his head and said, "Too poor; the master's taste demands only the finest humans."

Qin Wushuang and the others had no idea what Chu Hao and Ailimu were discussing.

Chu Hao's appearance had changed; the Devil Mask made him only three-tenths similar to himself.

General Ailimu nodded, saying, "Sir, I have something truly excellent here, originally meant to be presented to the king."

Chu Hao said leisurely, "Let's see then."

General Ailimu led the way.

Arriving at a tent, upon entering, he found that it harbored another space.

At its center was a hot spring, the water emitting a peculiar fragrance, surrounded by iron cages with several people submerged inside.

Chu Hao could feel the hot spring water contained immense life energy.

Who did he see?

Shen Qian, Su Yao, Jiang Haoyue, and two unfamiliar people, a man and a woman with remarkable appearances.

Chu Hao was somewhat puzzled; what was going on?

General Ailimu laughed, "These are top-quality goods; sir, take a look!"

Chu Hao went closer, unable to help but sigh; the prestigious Purple Guards had fallen to this state.

Noticing someone had entered, the five immersed in the hot spring lifted their heads. They were unsure of their future, having been held here for a day.
