Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1320: Chapter 860: Ambush (Part 3)

The caravan has already sent out the signal and is about to set off. Yang Xiao and the others did not linger any longer. After bidding farewell to Dean Sheng Tai Wenqin, the group departed.

This caravan was disguised as an ordinary trading group, so there were not many people, only a little over 30, divided into 10 vehicles. The leader was an elder from the Esoteric Sect, quite strong, at the peak of Ghost Level.

When Yang Xiao and his group’s taillights disappeared into the vast night, Cannibal Buddha and the others also dispersed. The sobbing Sutana was coaxed and sent back to her place, while Cannibal Buddha slowly walked back with the Nalin Commander.

"High Priest, rest assured, everything is arranged. On the surface, it’s led by Elder Nai Mi, but secretly, there will be Elder Ling Pu protecting from the front."

The Elder Ling Pu mentioned by Nalin Commander is a renowned expert in the Esoteric Sect, with a half-step Netherworld Level, wielding a sharp Magic Artifact, rich in combat experience, capable of overpowering apostles of the same level. He has made quite a name for himself in the Myanmar-Tai Black Triangle.

The arrangement of this person to secretly follow and escort them shows the Esoteric Sect’s importance towards Yang Xiao and his group.

In Nalin Commander’s view, the caravan secretly departs with two elders escorting it, and it is on their own territory, practically foolproof.

However, Cannibal Buddha seemed to sense something, his thick brows slightly furrowed. After a moment, he suddenly spoke, "Forget about Ling Pu, you go personally. Remember, you must escort them to the border, make sure you see them taken by someone before you return."

"Yes." Nalin Commander accepted the order and immediately started preparing.

As Cannibal Buddha’s right-hand man, and one of the top three masters in the Esoteric Sect, Nalin Commander never questioned Cannibal Buddha’s orders.

There was no need to ask why, just execute them.

Watching the hurriedly leaving back of Nalin, Cannibal Buddha felt much of his unease dissipate. He didn’t understand why this sudden anxiety appeared.

But it’s better to be safe than sorry. It is a turbulent time recently, and he didn’t want to see any accidents happening to Yang Xiao and his group.

Regarding his confidant Nalin, Cannibal Buddha had great confidence. Within the entire Yin Temple Influence, unless the heads of the other three families come in person, almost no one could suppress Nalin Commander. After the mediation of the Yin Temple High Priest, the matter between Yang Xiao and Sheng Yanlin is now in the past.

This matter was concluded under the joint witness of the four forces. Of course, the Esoteric Sect also made some concessions as a compensation.

The White Robe Dharma King of the Dharma Sect would not dare to simultaneously offend the Blood Sect, Esoteric Sect, and Exoteric Sect, unless he has a death wish.

Taking a deep breath to calm his thoughts, Cannibal Buddha walked forward with large strides.

At this moment, sitting in the vehicle, Yang Xiao was examining a small booklet, a gift from the Esoteric Sect.

There were many good things listed inside; besides the Life-extending Ointment and Elixirs personally handed to him, there were also some rare herbs, materials needed for reforging magic artifacts, dozens of bottles of hemostatic powder refined by the Esoteric Sect, and ten mid-high level Fierce Grade magic artifacts.

Though these 10 magic artifacts were not highly rated, their capabilities were commendable. Most importantly, they were safe to use and not prone to backlash.

These items were clearly not prepared for Yang Xiao but were intended for him to take back as goodwill gifts for others. frёeωebɳovel.com

Putting down the booklet in his hands, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but sigh. Cannibal Buddha truly is a considerate person; with such attention to detail, it’s no wonder he could become the High Priest of the Esoteric Sect.

Yang Xiao had already planned on how to distribute these things. The Life-extending Ointment and materials for artifact refining were meant to honor Second Demon Uncle, as Yang Xiao owed his survival largely to his care.

During his stay in the Esoteric Sect, Yang Xiao also learned some taboos about the Life-extending Ointment or similar elixirs.

These items were beneficial, but not everyone could take them. For instance, the Life-extending Ointment requires at least a half-step Netherworld Level to use, although it is quite safe.

Similar elixirs also have restrictions; those meant for Ghost-level apostles have strong side effects and are best avoided unless necessary.

There are also elixirs available for Fierce-level apostles, but using them is risking one’s life. After all, such grade elixirs are not even consumed by the Yin Temple insiders and are mostly used for export.

As for Resentment Level apostles, in the true circle of apostles, they are not even considered persons; they are too poor in quality to be used as alchemy materials and are only used as living containers to cultivate special herbs.

Besides the Life-extending Ointment, there were also six medicine pills in the box, the most precious part of the gift besides the ointment.

Yang Xiao took out two pills and gave them to Sui. Back in the Dungeon World, if not for Sui staying behind, Yang Xiao, along with Yang Chatong Han and others, would probably have perished there.

For Yang Xiao’s generosity, Sui accepted them without hesitation. Firstly, their relationship made courtesy unnecessary. Most importantly, he needed them because he returned to the country for revenge.

He wouldn’t spare Old Monster Pu and Sheng Youjun of Yiling Academy behind him; it would be a fierce battle.

Yang Xiao kept four Elixirs, not for himself alone. Two of these were intended for Ming Yue, who was also a high-rank Ghost-level apostle capable of using this elixir.

Among the Ghost-level apostles Yang Xiao had encountered, hardly any could surpass Ming Yue in terms of spiritual power strength; neither Tai Wenqin and Sui nor Bo Yetong, who had been turned into a pill, could match him.
