The legendary warrior

Chapter 1399 Dark Ancestral Spirit

"That's right. It's time for me and Tina to leave," Doris replied, nodding her head.

Tina stared longingly at Ricky. She didn't want to leave, but she had no choice. Her leaving would be a good thing for both of them. After all, she could become stronger and Ricky wouldn't have to look after her next time they met.

"Now that Tina's evil spirit has been cleared, she needs to spend some time training in our ancestral land. Ricky, you must be going to the Misty South Palace soon. You can come and visit her in our clan if you want," Doris suggested when she saw how forlorn they both looked.

"I know I can, Doris. But before you leave, I want to check Tina one more time. Now that my strength and cultivation levels have improved, I can find the smallest amount of evil spirit in her," Ricky urged.

"Okay. Thank you," Doris replied.

Meanwhile, the old man and Lucas were walking. They didn't stop until they were a long distance from the Five-element Sect.

When he saw that the anger was still present on Lucas' face, the old man decided he should say something. "Young master, are you all right?" He increased the volume of his voice so that Lucas would hear him and he could bring Lucas back to reality.

Lucas shook his head several times and turned to face the old man. Without saying a word, he sat down and crossed his legs.

Lots of time passed before Lucas opened his eyes again. At that point, every trace of the anger was gone from his face. It had been replaced by resentment.

"Thank you," Lucas said to the old man as he got to his feet.

If the old man hadn't brought him back to reality, he could have lost control again. It was all Ricky's fault. Lucas had lost to him and he wasn't used to losing.

"Don't mention it. I'm glad that you are feeling better," the old man replied.

"It's crazy! I never thought that Ricky was that powerful!" Lucas exclaimed.

"Young master, the world is huge. There are more geniuses than you can imagine and a lot of them are very talented. You're going to come across many people that are more talented than you are. I hope you will keep that in mind next time and that you will keep your head on straight. This is a place where the strong rules. If you want to defeat the others, you have to be powerful. Sometimes, you're going to have to resort to using all of the resources you have or you're even going to have to set up traps,"

the old man explained.

"I understand." Lucas nodded sharply. Then, with a gleam in his eyes, he started to think about what he was going to do next.

'This doesn't make sense. I know that Doris checked for the evil spirit in Tina's body, but she said that there wasn't any. It looks like she missed that small evil spirit mass that I've found, ' Ricky thought to himself.

"Doris is supposed to be a great saint, but she missed something that was pretty obvious. This mass looks serious," Ricky told the Dragon Intent Grass, scrunching his face into a frown.

"The devil that possessed this evil spirit must have been powerful. Why else would you not be able to remove it from Tina? Now that your chromatic ancestral spirit has transformed into the bright ancestral spirit, you should be able to expel any type of evil spirit. It doesn't make any sense," the Dragon Intent Grass replied.

"I don't know what's going on either," Ricky answered, shrugging his shoulders.

Refusing to give in to resignation, Ricky tried one more time to remove the evil spirit mass from Tina's body.

He took a deep breath and tried using the bright ancestral spirit and the devouring power, but the evil spirit mass fought back.

Ricky gasped.

When his bright ancestral spirit and devouring power wrapped around it, the evil spirit mass released black light and banished them. If Ricky tried to increase his power, Tina would get hurt.

Besides, Ricky felt like the evil spirit was too strong and that it would be impossible for him to remove it even if he tried his hardest.

After all, the evil spirit mass had fooled Tina and a great saint like Doris.

If Ricky hadn't had the chromatic ancestral spirit in his possession, the evil spirit mass would have slipped by unnoticed.

'This is going to be harder to deal with than I thought!' Ricky thought, shaking his head.

Thankfully, the evil spirit mass wasn't growing stronger or causing any damage to Tina. It didn't have to be dealt with immediately.

"I guess I will have to increase my strength in order to deal with the evil spirit mass," Ricky said, frowning.

Filled with a sense of hopelessness, he started to withdraw his power.

Before it could reach him, his bright ancestral spirit resonated with the power of the evil spirit mass.

"Hey! What is that? Why is my bright ancestral spirit reacting with the evil spirit mass?" Ricky stood up straighter and peered at the evil spirit mass.

Over the years, he had encountered three things that had the ability to resonate with the bright ancestral spirit: the fragment of the mysterious axe, the bright ancestral spirit, and the dark ancestral spirit.

Ricky closed his eyes and examined the evil spirit mass as closely as he could.

After a few minutes, he detected a slight smell of dark ancestral spirit in the depths of the evil spirit mass.

Ricky knew that it was not a good discovery to make, but he hid the worried emotions from his face.

"Ricky, is everything okay with Tina?" Doris asked.

"Yes. I found no traces of evil spirit in her," Ricky replied quickly, faking a smile.

"Great. We will be on our way now," Doris said.

Before they could go, Ricky approached Tina and they exchanged a few words. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Not long after, Doris and Tina waved goodbye and left.

As soon as they had vanished from his sight, Ricky frowned.

"What did you find? Is there something wrong with the evil spirit mass?" the Dragon Intent Grass inquired when it felt Ricky's concern.

"Dragon Intent Grass, Evil Mandragora, do you know what I felt when I observed the evil spirit mass? It was the dark ancestral spirit," Ricky admitted, shaking his head slowly.

"What? There's dark ancestral spirit in it!" Ricky's revelation was completely unexpected. The Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora were consumed with shock.

Even though the Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora only knew a little bit about the bright ancestral spirit and the dark ancestral spirit, they were aware that they came from a type of Light Apperception that was stronger than the primitive power.

Creatures that hailed from the continent were able to acquire the bright ancestral spirit and the creatures that came from the devil race could master the dark ancestral spirit.

It was very rare for a creature to cultivate both types. If they did, they were considered the best warriors in the devil race and the continent.

Knowing what they knew, the Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora could guess at how powerful the devil that had attacked Tina was.

"Was Tina harmed at all?" the Dragon Intent Grass asked.

"No, she wasn't. I don't think the evil spirit mass can affect her cultivation either. But I still have a bad feeling about it.

The dark ancestral spirit is complex. Something bad must be coming," Ricky said, slumping his shoulders.

The Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora fell silent. They agreed with Ricky and they didn't know how to deal with the evil spirit mass inside of Tina either.

In time, the evil spirit mass would become harmful and she would be in trouble.

"Ricky, remember to be kind to yourself. You have the bright ancestral spirit, so the dark ancestral spirit can't hurt you. The only reason you can't destroy the evil spirit mass is because that your cultivation

level needs to be higher," the Dragon Intent Grass comforted.

"I agree. Once you reach a higher level and gain a deeper understanding of the bright ancestral spirit, the dark ancestral spirit that is inside of the evil spirit mass will be easy to destroy," the Evil Mandragora chimed in.

"I hope it's that easy! I need to be stronger or I won't be able to protect Tina.

I have to go to the Misty South Palace straight away," Ricky murmured.

Before he made the journey, Ricky decided to rest for a couple of days. The only way for him to find more challenging competition and progress faster was for him to go to Misty South Palace and the inner region.
