Chapter 396: Chapter 224: The Righteous Knight’s Word is His Bond!

Gu Shanhai wanted to ask something else when he suddenly heard a cacophony of noises from inside.

Then he heard someone shout, "Attack!!!"

Immediately after, a large number of Loose Cultivators lurking around rushed in.

"They’re attacking just like that???" Gu Shanhai was somewhat dumbfounded, not expecting these Loose Cultivators to be so efficient.

A crowd swarmed in, and it was clear without thinking that the situation was set in stone. Gu Shanhai felt like he had come here for nothing.

The execution of these Loose Cultivators was indeed rare in their desperate struggle for resources.

As he was riding away on Little White, Gu Shanhai suddenly looked back and saw crimson traces of blood oozing out of the surrounding earth.

"Is this for real?" Gu Shanhai realized instantly.

The Loose Cultivators wanted to exchange this dubious Juxia Sect heir for resources, while the doubted heir of the Juxia Sect used this as bait to lure in Loose Cultivators for a blood sacrifice.

"Smart move, they must be planning to create an artificial natural wonder and break through to the Heavenly Scenery Stage," Gu Shanhai quickly understood what the other party was up to.

What the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect monopolized wasn’t just the Spirit Veins but also many natural wonders; therefore, if Loose Cultivators wanted to break through, they had to deal with the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect.

However, compared to Spirit Veins, some natural wonders could be artificially created.

Like this scene, Gu Shanhai had seen it in the records of the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect, a natural wonder called "Corpse Mountain Blood Sea," which was created through human sacrifice, forming the sight of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, finally extracting its imprint.

As for why they didn’t use ordinary humans, it was simple, because killing ordinary humans would lead to being hunted by the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect, as the major sects valued ordinary humans highly.

But using Loose Cultivators was different. The Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect didn’t care about the fights between Loose Cultivators.

Still, the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea natural wonder wasn’t so easy to create; it didn’t require the strength of the dead, but it did need a sufficient number.

Ordinary humans could provide enough numbers, but with Loose Cultivators, that wasn’t certain.

"The other party is planning to create the natural wonder in batches, but then it doesn’t explain why the person claiming to be from the Juxia Sect wasn’t killed by the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect?" Gu Shanhai was still puzzled.

Creating a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea natural wonder from Loose Cultivators was not a problem, but claiming to be a Juxia Sect heir was, as the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect didn’t care about the former, but did care about the latter.

"Alright, I should make my move first, or I might get caught in the crossfire," Gu Shanhai patted Little White’s back, and the creature wisely took off.

With every step it took, blood dripped from its hooves, and the soil was completely soaked with blood.

Seeing this, Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but quip.

"With just these people, where’s all this blood coming from? Even if you squeezed them dry, there wouldn’t be this much."

This was quite illogical. Even though there were many Loose Cultivators and they died fast, this amount of blood was unrealistic.

If it were water, Gu Shanhai would have accepted it since there could be groundwater, and it was normal for the ground to be wet, but soaking so much soil with blood, Gu Shanhai could only say they were playing extreme.

"I never expected that I could attract Elder Wude here. Truly, it’s an honor," a slightly hoarse and gloomy voice came, and the person might not recognize Gu Shanhai, but recognized Little White, who was much more distinctive than Gu Shanhai.

Not far away, a skinless bloody figure approached, leaving behind a trail of bloody footprints.

"Um... don’t you feel odd walking around without clothes?" Gu Shanhai kindly reminded him upon seeing his appearance.

He was always curious about why those skinless bloody corpses and figures didn’t wear clothes. Was it because they had shed their human skin and, with it, their sense of shame?

The bloody figure paused, surprised by the question. What kind of moment was this to be asking such questions?

When the figure noticed Gu Shanhai’s gaze moving from his upper to his lower body, he felt insulted.

"Are you... a man?" Gu Shanhai’s skeptical tone deeply wounded the figure’s heart.

"Just a Late-stage Purple Mansion, today, you shall remain here in this bloody earth," the bloody person found Gu Shanhai too odious, and the fact that he couldn’t see through Gu Shanhai’s real power was probably because Gu Shanhai had something concealing it.

He hadn’t considered that Gu Shanhai would break through the Spirit Origin Stage. In all these years, reaching the Late-stage Purple Mansion was already a rapid progress, not to mention the time it took to incorporate a Spirit Vein, which was at least a decade. With Gu Shanhai’s status as Elder Wude, the Spirit Vein he was cultivating was certainly not ordinary, hence this process might take a hundred years.

After this analysis, the bloody person felt the advantage was his.

"So are you really the heir of the Juxia Sect?" Gu Shanhai was also curious, not expecting to encounter the real deal. Otherwise, it was unlikely he would be recognized, as those Loose Cultivators knew nothing about Gu Shanhai.

Only disciples of the three sects, and those with a certain status amongst them, could recognize him.

The bloody figure wasn’t foolish enough to answer Gu Shanhai’s question and instead decisively attacked.

The surrounding bloody soil began to move, and copious amounts of corrosive bloody water surged forward, attempting to climb up Little White’s hooves.

Seeing this, Little White simply stepped on air and moved along; if the bloody water had nowhere to climb, it seemed to have a height limit to its reach, at most... ten centimeters.

Seeing this, the bloody person was somewhat baffled; he had intended to use a grand formation to launch his attack, but didn’t expect such a bizarre circumstance.

Therefore, he had to take action personally.

"Being able to kill Elder Wude would be a stroke of luck for me," the figure sneered, especially creepy with his skinless face that was quite unsettling.
