The Soul Cultivator

Tale 44

Lord Axcel's

"The corpses are still warm, scatter!" We searched everywhere yet there's no traces of the culprit.

"Maester, wala po talaga!" Claw

"Impusibleng hindi tayo makakita kahit katiting na bakas nito kaso wala talaga!" Wing

We have been tracking this mysterious killer yet we haven't figured what is it exactly, it's been days since I left Rox-

"Nakakapagtaka lang talaga, bakit sa lahat ng natagpuan nating mga bikitma ay wala tayong makuha kahit katiting na bakas manlang ng salarin?" Fang

"We looked everywhere, it's as if these are all made by a Ghost... There's no other explanation, Maester? Don't you think we must let the Cultivators deal with this?" Head suggested.

It Dawned on me, these past few days we have beed founding numerous corpses across the continent, at first, we've only been discovering corpses of wild beasts. Then until last night, we received reports from the locals about mysterious massacres of Clans with the exact same reasons of death with the wild beasts- no physical wounds, they are not poisoned either-

"Tama ka Head, mukhang multo nga ito, there is no other explanation! Lahat ng tinignan nating mga bangkay ay walang sinyales ng pagkamatay, it must be the work of the undead!" Wing said as she hugs herself.

A shiver through my spine!

This must be the work of a Spirit!

"We are all gathered here to witness the return of Zen Clan, matapos ang ilang taong pagtatago ng kanilang angkan... Muling ibinabalik ko ang Zen Clan bilang isa sa limang matatag na angkan, the fifth Great Clan of Zen officialy declare their current clan leader successor. Zen Xian, the first born of the main branch together with his wife, Ren Yoin, the first born of the Ren Clan. Together, we will return the glory of their Clan, I Jin Lan, the Clan Leader of the first Great Clan is blessing these two great people with prosperity and honor!" Mahabang speach ni Jin Lan habang nakayuko sa kaniya sina kuya Xian at Yoin-

"What is happening?!" Hindi ko mapigilang magtanong dahil sa walang kuwentang speach na aking pinagmamasdan ngayon!

This has never happened before, no outsider of the Clan has the power to officially accept the Clan leader of other clan to be the leader of that clan! It is up to the Clan itself whether they agreed to the appointed Clan leader, and it is also automatically inherited by the children of that clan leader-

"Ginagawa lamang na official ang pagiging ZenLe at ZenSe nila kuya Xian at ate Yoin-" Ran

"That doesn- nevermind, nakuha ko na po!" Tumigil na ako bago pa ako maka attract ng attention.

"It seems like may batang curious na bumisita ah!" Rinig kong bulong sa likuran ko.

"Elder Jin?!" Gulat kong baling dito, he smiled at me bago niya ako sinenyasan na sumunod.

"Zero-" Suway ni Can pero binelatan ko lamang siya bago tumakbo palabas ng Front or meeting hall.

All of the Clan leaders from the 5 great clans are here, to avoid things like recognizing my face, we sat near the entrance so everybody's gaze are in front... Hindi ako nahirapang tumakas mula sa walang kwentang conference na iyon!

"Sinabi ko na nga ba, ikaw ang anak ng The Undead!" Bungad niya ng matagpuan ko siya sa labas ng kanilang Gate.

I expected this, kuya Xian warned me about this. All of the people I fought before would come for the child they hated!
