Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 492



Chapter 492

A snowstorm arrived gradually.

To the necrocultivators who rarely experienced sunlight, the cold made up their whole world; some members who were brought back to the tribe as a baby had never even seen the sun before. But there was also a large number of them who had never seen a snowstorm in their lives.

The sky unleashed its fury in the form of a snowstorm, just like the violent snowstorms one would find in the North.

Pitter patter…

There seemed to be a violent snowstorm taking place in the arena too.

Siu Fu on another throne squinted his eyes. He had huge, shiny eyes, and when he squinted them, it made him resemble a ferocious tiger that was ready to pounce on its victim. Siu Fu could tell that it was no snowstorm in the arena, just a terrifying energy blade.

The energy blade was like a snowstorm that formed a white dragon, and when the crowd realised what was going on, the jet-black Viper Fangs formed with throwing knives were destroyed, the knives sprawled all across the place.

Jet was held by his neck and pinned to the ground by Rouge Dragon. A long tongue left his red-covered lips, licking Jet’s face as if he was tasting a meal. This was no different from being licked by a venomous snake. Jet was both fearful and angry, but he dared not make a single move.

It was unknown if it was the extremely pale hand on his neck or the completely black corpse soul standing next to it, but Jet was in great disbelief. How can a corpse soul that’s only in the three-chambered state destroy my Viper Fangs?

“The result is determined.” Skinny Tiger’s hoarse voice rang out.

But Rouge Dragon did not release Jet. He stared at Jet with large eyes, smiling shyly as if he was looking at a treasure. Unlike most other necrocultivators, Jet looked just like a normal man, and his appearance looked younger as his cultivation increased. The way Rouge Dragon looked at him with lust made it seem like he was looking through his clothes at his bare body, which left Jet wanting to die of embarrassment.

However, he dared not move because he felt the other’s sharp nails pointing at his neck, and he would definitely lose his life if he made a move!

“I said, the result is determined!” Skinny Tiger called out. To be exact, he was giving an order.

Boom! An explosion rang out in only Rouge Dragon’s ears.

“Hmph!” Rouge Dragon huffed and released his grip subconsciously, taking three steps back. The corpse soul returned to his body instantly as that happened.

Rouge Dragon looked up, blood leaking from his mouth. He stared at Skinny Tiger without respect, only madness.

“Huh?” Skinny Tiger was slightly shocked. He might’ve been wearing a funny tiger mask, but his gaze was cold and terrifying, causing Rouge Dragon’s bones to emit a cracking sound.

Can he crush me with just his gaze and might?

“Hehehe… Great Elder, why get angry with my dog?” An eerie laughter rang across the place, and a figure in a black robe silently passed through the crowd and appeared in the arena, standing between Skinny Tiger and Rouge Dragon.

If Skinny Tiger’s might was described as a chilly wind, then this person would be described as having lived in the shadow of the tower for his entire life.

He was from the previous great elder’s generation, and was perhaps of an even greater age than Hung Zhin. But nobody knew for sure because everyone else of his age had died. He was just like the tower; nobody knew where he came from or how long it had been. He might have been here since the distant past!

Every old monster that had survived time was a formidable being.

Sun Choi Bo was just like a joke in front of this old man. If it was this man that became the current great elder, Sun Choi Bo could only accept fate and bow to this man.

He was the embodiment of evil intentions, and the last time the tribe members saw him, he was in the Fourth Level of Hell, his power on par with Hung Zhin. If not for his weird characteristics and the fact that he rarely stayed at the tower, he would have had the chance to be the next great elder.

Even so, he was still one of the elders in the tribe.

As mentioned earlier, he was filled with wicked thoughts, thus they called him Evil Mind.

Evil Mind pulled the hood that covered his head off, revealing an unhealthily pale face that had never seen the sun. Shockingly, he looked just like an eighteen-year-old.

He stood there, blocking Skinny Tiger’s aura as his evil intent solidified, going for Skinny Tiger! Nobody knew how Skinny Tiger felt as his emotions were hidden beneath the mask, but he allowed the attack to land on him and seemed to take it just fine, the attack not even causing a ripple.

“Hehehehe! Great Elder is indeed powerful! Anyway, this is my first time meeting Great Elder!” He had the voice of an elder who was on his deathbed, which weirded the crowd out given his appearance. The crowd couldn’t get used to the contrast between his young appearance and his sharp old voice, but nobody dared to utter a sound as he was one of the oldest members of their tribe.

“So it’s Senior Evil Mind,” Skinny Tiger said calmly. He sounded polite, but he did not bow. Due to his position, he only needed to bow to the tribemaster and the sacred son.

“Hehehe, the younger generation indeed surpasses the old.” Evil Mind laughed. He looked energetic, but he gave a sinister laugh. “Give me some face today, yeah?”

“What is Senior Evil Mind saying?” Skinny Tiger was as calm as before. “Rouge Dragon has great potential and I’m planning to reward him, not punish him.”

He turned to make an announcement. “Rouge Dragon has great talent, and he will be part of the Human Corpse level from today on, which gives him the same benefits as the other three-chambered cultivators! Not only that, he will be on our list of most important members and be given the best treasures and styles. As he has succeeded in the challenge of defeating cultivators beyond his state, he will also be given a chance to kill someone to use as the ingredient for his gliph after breaking through to the three-chambered state.”

“Yes, Great Elder!”

Evil Mind stared at Skinny Tiger silently.

It seems that I have underestimated him. However, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes because he could tell that Skinny Tiger was doing his best and sincerely wanted the tribe to become strong again.

This kiddo is not bad.

Skinny Tiger looked around. “The first internal competition will end here, and all of you may enter the Treasure Pavilion and Cultivation Style Pavilion according to your level starting tomorrow. I hope that you continue to work hard and won’t let me down.”

“Yes, Great Elder!” The tribe looked at Skinny Tiger, fired up!

After this internal competition, they could see the prosperous future of the tribe, and Skinny Tiger was the reason for it!

Skinny Tiger’s prestige was unrivalled!


Evil Mind carried Rouge Dragon back to a dark secret chamber like a puppy. Darkness was nothing to them, who already symbolised the dark.

“What a piece of trash,” Evil Mind said with sarcasm. “Going crazy day after day. Should have killed him just now.”

Rouge Dragon did not reply. He was the psychopath in the eyes of many, but in his own, Evil Mind was the actual psychopath.

“Alright, let’s start today’s lesson,” Evil Mind said excitedly. He sounded like an elderly man who was about to have his last moment of “fun.”

Expressionless, Rouge Dragon took off his black robe entirely, revealing his bare body that was dark purple. He was not some mutant, he was just completely covered in bruises.

He was entirely injured, and it hurt sharply wherever Evil Mind’s hands touched.

Rouge Dragon remained calm and silent, his eyes flickering from the pain. Every time such moments happened, he would be reminded of the snowy night and the teenagers, one in a silver robe and the other in a red robe. They were the reason that helped him persevere.

“Wait for me… please don’t die first,” Rouge Dragon mumbled to himself. He sincerely hoped that they lived a long life, as only then would he have the chance to torture them to death personally.

“What bullshit are you saying!?” Evil Mind said angrily and slapped him to the ground, torturing him.
