Chapter 249 - Purple Smoke
Chapter 249: Purple Smoke
No. It couldn’t have been his imagination!
However, the cold sweat on his back and the feeling that he had narrowly escaped death both felt very real. He couldn’t understand why it disappeared so suddenly.
He nervously looked around. He didn’t want to experience that feeling again!
Drake found Oraman’s behavior rather strange, wondering if the man’s head had been damaged by that evil trick.
Yes!
That was very likely!
Drake then heard footsteps from behind him.
“What happened?”
He turned around and saw Liam.
Drake didn’t need to answer. Oraman and the body on the ground were all the answers he needed.
“An evil trick?”
“Yes! Watch out for the purple smoke. You can fend it off with your spiritual essence, and you don’t need too much. A little bit will do the trick. Our spiritual essence seems to counteract the purple smoke really well!”
Liam nodded and stood between Drake and Oraman. He didn’t have as much spiritual essence as Drake, but he was a much more capable fighter.
……
Since he didn’t need to worry about the spiritual essence anymore, he could do things his way. He started throwing punches at the opponent.
Before long, Oraman was losing ground.
“Die, you bastard!”
Bang!
Liam punched Oraman so hard that he bent into an L-shape. Life seemed to be leaving him. But right then, a small plume of purple smoke flew out of his body.
“Don’t let it go anywhere!” Although Drake didn’t know what it was, instinct told him it couldn’t be anything good. He also knew he couldn’t let it escape.
Hearing that, Liam immediately activated his spiritual essence and trapped the purple smoke.
“I don’t think I can destroy it!” Neither of them knew what to do with it.
Phoebe arrived at that moment.
“We’ve collected all the stones…
“Where did you get that?!”
Phoebe was surprised by the purple smoke on Liam’s hand.
Both men turned to her, asking, “Do you know what it is?”
“I found some strange books on evil tricks while I was collecting the stones. That purple smoke is all over the books. It disgusted me, so I chased it away with my spiritual essence. The books explain how purple smoke works and its effect. It’s called the path to becoming God.
“I only read a little because I didn’t want such nonsense to affect my mind. What should we do with the purple smoke?”
No one had any idea what to do. They didn’t know what the purple smoke was. Most of the contents in the book were there to confuse the reader’s mind. There wasn’t much truth in it. The only thing they could be sure of was the purple smoke was evil.
However, they didn’t know how to destroy it. They couldn’t let it run free on Mars either. Just then, they heard a voice in their heads.
“Drake, Liam, Phoebe, come back. Bring the purple smoke with you. I’ll purify and use it to replenish the vital energy Drake has lost.”
It was their Patriarch’s voice.
“Yes, sir!”
“Yes, sir!”
…
In the volcano, Himmel Soan finally took his eyes off Mars. He had practically watched the battle with his own eyes. If Liam hadn’t come to Drake’s aid, he would have killed Oraman himself. Since Liam was there, he left the battle to the younger brother.
After all, no cultivator could grow without fighting battles and testing their abilities. Liam was also a cultivator, so Himmel Soan decided to use this chance to train him.
“But why does that evil trick exist on Mars? It’s going to be a repulsive trick no matter where it’s used. Maybe there are secrets in the universe that I still need to explore!”
Himmel Soan then looked at the heart of the volcano next to him. It had turned into a flaming little girl. Her feet were bare, and flames were rising from her body. Her hair was scarlet red, and even her eyes were spitting fire.
However, the girl that could spit fire was standing obediently next to Himmel Soan.
“From now on, your name will be Firey. Come with me!”
The girl nodded. Himmel Soan had taught her the language of this world. Firey had cultivated for millions of years and was a fast learner. She mastered the language and gained cognition ability in no time. She didn’t look any different from an ordinary girl.
Himmel Soan created a dress with his spiritual essence and put it on for Firey. He then turned her hair and pupils red.
“Let’s go!”
“Great!” Firey held Himmel Soan’s hand as they walked out of the volcano.
At first, Firey would leave flaming footprints on the ground. Gradually, the flame shrank until there was nothing left.
“Master, I can control my flame now!” Firey said excitedly as if she was waiting for Himmel Soan’s compliment.
“Good. Now you’ll need to conceal your energy.”
“Yes!”
Himmel Soan was amazed. When she took the human form, he had sensed her nature to be evil. He was going to destroy Firey when she finished taking the human form. However, her nature changed halfway through that process.
Himmel Soan was sure of it. Since it wasn’t a bad thing, he didn’t try to figure out the reason.
He soon took Firey back to Moon. Someone noticed them and videotaped the pair. A lovely girl with fiery red hair appeared next to Mr. Soan. Of course, everybody was intrigued.
The topic was soon discussed online.
“I saw a little girl walking next to Mr. Soan. Is she his daughter?”
“She’s so lovely! Her red hair and eyes are so unique!”
“I wish I had a lovely daughter like that!”
“What the heck? Mom, am I not lovely enough? Don’t you want me anymore?”
“Mr. Soan is going to start a live stream later! Let’s see what he’s going to say!”
