My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 14 What kind of lousy magic is this?

Shi Qing did not consider himself a kind person.

He had done plenty of shady things in the past, such as digging up graves and robbing people on the road.

Even when pushed to the limit, he will display some of his almost demonic methods.

However, Shi Qing would still apologize to the Blood Saint Princess.

The reason was simply that Shi Qing had indirectly learned a lot about the princess's deeds these days.

In his words, this person was a kind man, but he was unlucky and his methods were not ruthless enough.

Shi Qing always showed more respect to kind people.

Shi Qing activated a talisman, which immediately flashed with a scarlet light.

Although it looks frightening, this talisman is actually called the Tracking Talisman, which is only for the Foundation Establishment stage and has no destructive power.

"Yes, there are still some left."

The next moment, the stone coffin at the bottom of the spring was slowly pushed open.

However, there was no body in the coffin.

All that could be found were dark red bloodstains and red minerals that had been overcharged and crystallized.

Shi Qing had long anticipated that it would be a cenotaph.

"In the harvest month of the 1443rd year of the Celestial Calendar, the princess swallowed a seventh-order spell with her own body, minimizing the harm."

However, no remains were found; the vampires erected a tombstone for the princess at the detonation point.

Shi Qing muttered to himself, his mind processing various pieces of information.

On ordinary days, he not only taught Vishi, but also used magic to collect all kinds of historical and cultural knowledge while Vishi was asleep.

The so-called seventh rank, in terms of pure destructive power, is roughly equivalent to the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

The princess was only at the fifth level, equivalent to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. It was quite normal for her to die without a burial place after taking an attack from a Golden Core cultivator.

However, this was enough for Shi Qing.

He continued to activate the talisman, and the tracking talisman absorbed the remaining dark blood into it. The scarlet light suddenly dissipated, but this was how the talisman took effect.

"Let me see where you are?"

An invisible ripple slowly spread out from the center of Shi Qing, enveloping the entire Red Stone Town.

As the ripples spread, a figure hiding in some ruins suddenly opened its eyes.

He stared in astonishment at the magical circuit in his right arm, the mysterious circuit rising and falling, moving as if responding to the call of something.

That was the summons of the vampire superiors.

But why would there be a summoning here?

Wait, does this mean the princess isn't actually dead?

She's calling me!

In an instant, Sargeras was both surprised and delighted, somewhat fearful, yet also impatient.

"No, those hunting dogs haven't gone far. Going back now would be suicide."

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, I can't wait any longer!"

The Blood Demon's eyes turned bloodshot, and his teeth gradually became sharper; the call had a great influence on him.

This is partly due to Sargeras's own unstable state, and partly due to the influence of the vampire's rank.

Under the influence of the tracking talisman, the Blood Demon began to become agitated, and the thirst for blood that he had barely managed to suppress a few days ago surged up again.

But he can't release his power in Redstone Town, where most of the people are vampires!

Driven by his remaining sanity, Sargeras suddenly unleashed a spell, causing the shadows on the ground to writhe and eventually reveal several blood-soaked corpses.

Those are his mouth, ears, and nose; they are his alter egos, each one imbued with his life's blood and sweat.

This is one of the blood spells the Child of Shadows taught him, and it is called Blood Skeleton.

Blood Bone Technique has excellent compatibility with his original blood magic, and is usually used when his true form, Moon Mad Blood Thirst, cannot go out.

For example, right now.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"Bring me some fresh blood."

The skeletons nodded blankly and then scattered, heading towards the small villages throughout Gem City.

Shi Qing, who was activating talismans in the distance, frowned immediately.

He sensed several auras emanating from the Blood Demon.

And the direction seemed to be those small villages.

"Tsk, what a hassle."

Shi Qing shook his head. His original intention was simply to draw a tracking talisman that could locate the Blood Demon, so that he could cover up Vixi's lie later.

But now, his plan backfired, fueling his bloodlust and stimulating the Blood Demon to hunt down the villagers.

If left unchecked, there will likely be several more bloody incidents tonight.

"What kind of lousy magic does this Blood Demon practice? It triggers a thirst for blood with just the slightest tracking; it has no stability whatsoever."

"Enough, enough, it's all cause and effect."

If one were a pure-blooded demonic cultivator, they wouldn't care about such trivial matters at all, and might even add fuel to the fire for a bit of fun.

Although he was not a righteous person, he was not as mad as the demonic path, and he had a bottom line in his actions.

Lamenting the cruel twist of fate, Shi Qing immediately flew out of the spring and sped off towards a certain place.

A few minutes later, beside a river.

A large number of pegasus are drinking water, and many law knights are stationed here.

After a whole night of searching, they still couldn't find any trace of the Blood Demon.

This left the knights feeling extremely frustrated.

"Hey, Vice Captain, do you think the Blood Demon is really here?"

Quinn remained silent, only continuing to feed the Pegasus hay.

"I heard the captain cares a lot about this, and even the bishops are paying attention."

Quinn's movements slowed down a beat. He glared at his teammates, about to yell at them, but in the end, he could only sigh.

He put down the hay he was holding, plopped down on the ground, and was full of frustration.

"Stop talking. If we can't catch it, we'll keep trying. We just have to keep the Blood Demon under control. Hegesius will handle everything else."

"But......."

Midway through their casual conversation, Quinn suddenly looked up, his eyes piercing through the darkness of the night, stopping his teammates from chatting.

"Something's up, be on alert!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a raven flew out of the night sky and landed on the Pegasus, carrying a draft paper in its beak.

Clearly, someone was sending them a message.

"What is this...?" Quinn took the letter from the raven's beak, his eyes barely glancing at it before he was filled with rage.

"Get up! Our informant has spotted the Blood Demon. That damned bastard is attacking the village!"

"Damn it, they know we're here, and they still dare to act like this!"

Having said that, the knights of law immediately mounted their horses, ended their rest, and swiftly went to intercept the blood remains released by the Blood Demon.

The raven merely tilted its head, quickly concealed itself, and followed behind the Pegasus.

Just as Shi Qing had predicted, these law knights were determined to obtain the Blood Demon. He provided them with some information in Vishi's name, and the knights immediately set out.

Besides intercepting the Blood Demon's attack, Shi Qing had another idea behind this move.

Ravens watched from afar, their benevolent divine senses etching the knights' group combat into their eyes.

"I've heard that divine arts and magic are not the same thing."

"The former is more like the talismans bestowed by the Heavenly Emperors, the conferment of gods and the appointment of generals, with all power coming from those in higher positions, namely the so-called gods."

"These monks follow their way and thereby acquire various supernatural powers and spells."

"Perfect, let me see what's different about this one."
