Chapter 381 - 57: Refusal, Blood Nether Sect!

Chapter 381: Chapter 57: Refusal, Blood Nether Sect!

Everyone’s gaze turned toward Luo Cheng simultaneously.

It was not often that one received an invitation from the Extreme Dao Sect.

Just as everyone thought Luo Cheng would immediately accept,

Luo Cheng shook his head slightly, cupped his hands toward Elder Wu Shan, and said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior."

Elder Wu Shan’s eyes narrowed slightly, appearing somewhat surprised, as he frowned and said, "You should think carefully before answering me."

"I’ve already thought it through."

Without hesitation, Luo Cheng refused once more.

He harbored many secrets.

Whether it was his Martial Soul, the Nine-colored Scale, or the All Heavens Dragon Control Technique, all of them were matters of grave importance and could not be revealed!

Currently, his strength was too weak. If he followed Elder Wu Shan to the Extreme Dao Sect, he would likely lose control of his fate.

In comparison, Luo Cheng preferred to hold the reins of his own destiny.

Moreover, he did not truly believe that the sect valued his potential.

The greater the sect, the more they valued Martial Soul Grades.

How could they possibly care for a Wasted Martial Soul?

As for awakening and nurturing his Martial Soul, Luo Cheng already had some ideas.

"You don’t know what’s good for you!"

Elder Wu Shan snorted coldly, an inexplicable pressure sweeping out, forcing Luo Cheng to retreat several steps. Anyone present could sense the anger emanating from this Four Extremes Realm Great Power.

Elder Chen Xuan appeared beside Luo Cheng with a laugh:

"Elder Wu Shan, Luo Cheng is still young and may not wish to travel far. If there was any offense, I’ll apologize on his behalf."

"Forget it!"

Elder Wu Shan retracted his aura, casting a faint glance at Luo Cheng:

"Everyone has their own aspirations. Since he wishes to stay here, I won’t force him. The Extreme Dao Sect has no shortage of geniuses. He is but one among many!"

"Besides, with an unawakened, Wasted Martial Soul, one born with flaws, even if a miracle occurred and it were successfully nurtured, its achievements would still be limited."

Just as Luo Cheng suspected, Elder Wu Shan was only somewhat interested in his Martial Soul.

He did not think much of Luo Cheng’s potential.

After speaking, Elder Wu Shan shifted his gaze and said, "The reason I came this time is to remind all of you about one thing."

Everyone was taken aback. For Elder Wu Shan to regard the matter as so serious, it certainly wasn’t something trivial.

Elder Bi Qiushui asked, "Does it concern our Three Great Sects?"

Elder Wu Shan nodded. "It indeed concerns you, and to be precise, it involves all the major powers within the Yunlan Domain Group. However, it is most critical for you."

"Ten days ago, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Extreme Dao Sect discovered traces of a Blood Demon near Guyuan City."

"Blood Demon!"

At these words, everyone present was visibly shaken.

Whenever a Blood Demon emerged, it would bring with it disaster—bloodshed, storms, the slaughter of lives!

A Blood Demon had actually appeared in the territory of the Great Yue Dynasty!

Elder Chen Xuan, recalling the swarm of blood bats encountered on the road, took a deep breath.

"Are you certain it’s a Blood Demon?"

Elder Wu Shan nodded. "Almost undoubtedly! That disciple cultivated a Qi Observation Technique, and it was only due to that secret technique that the Blood Demon failed to notice him."

Bi Qiushui furrowed her delicate brows. "Once a Blood Demon emerges, it will devour essence blood everywhere to grow stronger. However, we haven’t heard any reports of large-scale casualties in the cities surrounding Guyuan City recently."

"That’s precisely the problem!"

Elder Wu Shan’s voice was somber. "The Blood Demon is inherently cruel and has an insatiable thirst for blood. Yet, there’s been no news of the Blood Demon causing havoc! Our investigations revealed that someone has been secretly mass-producing Blood Pills to sustain the Blood Demon." freēNovelFire.com

"From these clues, we’ve drawn one conclusion: someone is orchestrating all this! And it’s highly likely to be the Blood Nether Sect from a century ago!"

"Blood Nether Sect!"

Bi Qiushui and the others gasped audibly.

Chen Xuan asked, "Wasn’t the Blood Nether Sect annihilated decades ago by the Great Chu Empress? Even their leader, the Blood Emperor, was suppressed and killed by her!"

Elder Wu Shan nodded. "Back then, the Great Chu Empress eradicated the Blood Nether Sect with overwhelming force. But the sect was vast and wielded many bizarre methods, allowing quite a few to escape."

"Now that the Empress’s whereabouts are unknown, these remnants of the Blood Nether Sect have begun stirring in the shadows across the Yunlan Domain Group."

"Years ago, the Blood Nether Sect’s leader, the Blood Emperor, awakened an Undying Divine Ability through his Martial Soul, the Nine Nether Blood Demon Undying Technique! It is said to grant rebirth from a single drop of blood. If my guess is correct, these remnants aim to resurrect the Blood Emperor."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.

The terror of the Blood Nether Sect was known to all!

Their cultivation methods were extraordinarily sinister and cruel, extracting essence blood to unleash potential, allowing even ordinary individuals to cultivate like prodigies!

To strengthen themselves, sect members of the Blood Nether Sect would wreak havoc across the land, spreading calamity to harvest essence blood for their cultivation. Slaughtering cities and annihilating sects were common occurrences, plunging the Yunlan Domain Group into complete chaos!

If not for the Great Chu Empress’s sudden rise, personally vanquishing the Blood Emperor and eradicating the Blood Nether Sect, the Yunlan Domain Group would likely still be living under their shadow, enduring endless darkness.

Now, with the Great Chu Empress missing, if the Blood Emperor were to be resurrected, the Yunlan Domain Group would undoubtedly fall back into the clutches of the Blood Nether Sect, into an era of destruction and devastation!

Bi Qiushui couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly happened to the Great Chu Empress?"

If the Empress were still here, the remnants of the Blood Nether Sect would be no better than rats in the gutter, too scared to emerge and cause trouble.

Elder Wu Shan, however, did not wish to discuss the matter, saying,

"Even if the Blood Nether Sect rises again, resurrecting the Blood Emperor won’t be an easy task. I’m merely reminding you—all of you must not give the Blood Nether Sect a chance. If you detect any traces of their presence, obliterate them with the utmost force!"

"Otherwise, if the Blood Emperor revives, not only your Three Sects but the whole Great Yue Dynasty and the Yunlan Domain Group will face an unparalleled catastrophe!"

"The Blood Demon is intricately connected to resurrecting the Blood Emperor. If any traces of the Blood Demon are found in the Guyuan City region, an immediate assault will be launched! That area sits at the borders of several nations, so a joint operation will likely be necessary. Your Three Sects should prepare in advance."

"That’s all I know. Farewell."

With those words, flickers of lightning began to crackle around Elder Wu Shan. He cast Luo Cheng another glance, and with a burst of speed, he disappeared into the distant sky, vanishing into the clouds.

"I never expected the Blood Nether Sect, long thought vanquished, to rise again. If the Great Chu Empress remains absent, this world is bound to descend into chaos..."

Bi Qiushui gazed in the direction Elder Wu Shan had departed, her expression heavy as she shook her head. Then, taking leave, she led the Luoxia Sect members aboard the Three-colored Crane, soaring into the skies.

"Luo Cheng, come to the Imperial City when you have time!"

The Ninth Princess, Jin Yuxi, waved at Luo Cheng from afar and called out.

Luo Cheng smiled faintly. He would undoubtedly visit the Imperial City, but not yet.

"Alright! Let’s depart as well!"

Elder Chen Xuan collected his thoughts and announced their departure.

Swoosh!

The Skywind Roc flapped its wings, carrying more than ten people, along with the corpses of Lin Zhidong and Lu Chen, straight into the heavens!

Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Sun Yingyang’s eyes. Turning to two Fierce Cloud Sect elders, he commanded:

"You take the others back. The Great Elder and I will return shortly!"

Climbing atop the broad back of the Fiery Fire Bird, Sun Yingyang glanced at the mangled corpse of Sun Chuanwu. His eye twitched, and in a hoarse voice, he said:

"Upon returning to the sect, do not touch Chuanwu’s body. Wait for my return!!"

He would use Luo Cheng’s blood and flesh to pay tribute to Sun Chuanwu!

Screeech!

The Fiery Fire Bird let out a piercing cry, flapped its wings, and soared into the clouds.
