"Hey, Mordechai, it's about time you show us your Sorcerous Combat Body. I've heard great things
about it. Some people claim that it was all thanks to it that the Desolate Sorcery tribe rose to power
over the continents and the Devil Land," Jasper said, smiling in anticipation.
"Okay, I will. But after the selection, you must let me test my Sorcerous Combat Body with your power
of the Eight Diagrams!" Mordechai nodded and replied.
"Ha-ha, of course! That's exactly what I want too!"
As they were talking, Jasper came closer to the ten devils and cut off one arm from each, storing them
into his spiritual space tool. They would present those as proof to get their points.
Ricky then called forth his sacred fire and burned the devils' bodies to ashes.
With that done, the four of them continued on their way, searching for more devils.
They hadn't gone far before they had to stop because they all felt several powerful warriors approach.
They didn't seem to be devils but disciples from the continents, and they were moving incredibly fast.
"I have a feeling that they don't have good intentions,"
Jasper murmured hesitantly.
He cultivated the Law of Change, a branch of the Eight Diagrams. It was the kind closest to that the
heavenly law, so his suspicion was most likely accurate.
"They are probably after me," Ricky told the others after some thought.
Before long, the presence they detected emerged on the horizon.
The figures of five young men in black and skin-tight clothing became clearer as they came closer,
heading towards them directly.
Their dark eyes gave off an exceedingly uncomfortable feeling, for they emitted an aura bordering on
the extremity of death. With a disgusted groan, Ricky and his friends also noted that the strangers
smelled of rotten food.
Behind the menacing figures, there seemed to exist a vast and dark hell behind these strangers.
It felt like they were from the devil race, but they weren't.
The moment the five men came close enough, their eyes all gravitated toward Ricky. They exchanged
meaningful glances with each other and nodded as if they confirmed something.
It was evident that they had verified Ricky's identity.
"Hi, guys, do we know each other?"
Ricky finally asked, prompting the men to talk to them.
"You don't know us, but we know you. You are Paul's successor!"
one of the black-clad young men replied lightly.
"I see. The five of you must be here for the inheritance."
Ricky nodded as if he, too, had confirmed something to himself and then added, "You surely are quick.
We have only been here in the Passage World for half a day, and I was careful to hide my presence.
But you still found me."
"There is nothing we can't find in this world as long as we put our mind to it!"
one of the young men answered. Pride colored every word that came out of his mouth.
"Oh? Wow! You must be incredibly strong!"
Ricky responded in surprise when he heard the young man's words.
Mordechai and Jasper also looked astonished.
"Are you from the Two-headed Hyena tribe?" Ella asked seriously, her forehead creased.
She couldn't think of any other force that could find Ricky in such a short time.
"Whoa! I didn't expect that some people still know about our tribe. After all, we have been hiding for a
long time." The five young men laughed.
"The Two-headed Hyena?" Ricky and the other two men repeated after Ella, but they couldn't recall
hearing about that term before.
So, they all turned to look at Ella with a questioning look on their faces.
"The Two-headed Hyena tribe is definitely powerful. Their blood power is one of the top powers in the
middle region,"
Ella explained. "At their peak, they were considered the strongest tribe in the middle region."
"If they were so strong, why did they hide?"
Ricky asked, perplexed.
"That's simple. They offended too many forces. Those forces then allied with each other and ganged
up on them, slaughtering more than half of their strong members.
Supposedly, if it weren't for the Misty South Palace, the Two-headed Hyena tribe would have gone
extinct."
"Oh? That's an interesting story. How did they offend so many forces?"
Jasper probed deeper out of curiosity.
"It was all because of their blood power and what they had done!" Ella continued to explain, "Their
blood power is known as the Mantra Psychic blood power.
As its name suggests, it has two powerful functions, which are the Mantra and Psychic. Using this
Psychic blood power, they can find anyone in just a short amount of time.
The Psychic blood power can connect with everything in the world, including flowers, trees, or rocks. It
doesn't matter if they don't have psychic intelligence because, in the eyes of those who have Psychic
blood power, they have enough intelligence to communicate. The owners can interact with everything
in the world and, thus, find out what happened in countless places.
Of course, how much they can find out depends on the realm and strength of the owners who have the
Psychic blood power."
"That's incredible! With those powers, there must be nothing in this world that the Two-headed Hyena
tribe doesn't know!"
Ricky and the two other men tittered excitedly upon hearing these words.
"I guess you can put it that way,"
replied Ella, nodding. She also added, "The Two-headed Hyena tribe used this amazing blood power to
look for the lands of legacy of the other forces' top masters, and they gained countless inheritance
through this method. Before long, their tribe rose to the top."
"Indeed, with such powerful blood power, it's impossible for anyone not to prosper!"
Ricky nodded, sighing deeply as if moved by the story.
"But I don't think that's enough to arouse so much indignation that the other forces had to band
together. After all, the Two-headed Hyena tribe acquired the inheritance because of their own ability."
"That's true, but they still have the Mantra blood power!" Ella clarified.
"Their Mantra blood power can also put a curse on the land of legacy. With that curse, the fortune of
those top masters' forces drastically decreased.
And you all know how important resources are for any force.
The radical decrease in those forces' fortune caused a sharp decline of geniuses in the younger
generation, and it gradually led to the decline of their forces."
"What the hell?! They took the inheritance of others and even put a curse on them! It's no wonder the
forces banded together to exterminate their tribe!"
Mordechai couldn't help swearing internally.
"That's the reason the Two-headed Hyena tribe isolated themselves. I didn't expect to see them at all.
Perhaps, they heard about you, Ricky, and came out because they want to take Paul's inheritance from
you. They probably want to use it to make it to the big leagues once again!"
Ella surmised.
"That's highly likely, but they underestimate my strength."
"Ricky, if you hand over Paul's inheritance to us and allow us to put a curse on you, which will stop you
from telling the truth to others, we'll let you go!"
A young man tried to convince Ricky, but he didn't look trustworthy at all.
"I already said that Paul's inheritance has been snatched away by a mysterious master. Don't you
believe me?"
Ricky replied, looking confused.
"You want us to believe you? The only way we'll do that is if we see the truth with our own eyes.
Nothing short of us searching your memory can satisfy us!"
the young man scoffed.
"I see. Well then, there's no need to say anything else. Fight me with all you've got! And, trust me, your
Psychic blood power alone won't be enough to deal with me," Ricky said somberly. "Your Psychic blood
power may be strong, but it doesn't mean that your physical body is just as strong."
"Ricky, you are indeed a powerful warrior, but think about how much strength you can still exert with
your meridians broken. Do you want to do this the hard way?"
Then, the young man in black contemptuously declared, "Surrender to us now, and maybe you can live
a little longer! Otherwise, not a bone in your body will escape unscathed!"
"Most of my meridians have been destroyed, but that won't stop me from dealing with you!"
Ricky uttered with a disdainful smile.
