“Wait, could it be the Blood Sea Palace?”
“Don’t keep us in suspense, third brother.”
“The Blood Sea Palace is a formidable Demon Sect filled with innumerable demon chiefs. Refining the fresh blood of countless beings to cultivate demonic arts is just a common occurrence for them. Many of the Immortal Sects are helpless against them.”
“If they really are from the Blood Sea Palace, then if we anger them…”
The group of bandits panicked.
The Blood Sea Palace was not a demon sect that an ordinary stronghold could afford to provoke.
Even the bandit leader’s face didn’t look very good.
She had encountered a tough adversary this time.
“All of you shall die here today.”
The leading elder of the Blood Sea Palace summoned six Blood Knives, each an exceptional Immortal Artifact and together, the Blood Qi of the six knives interconnected, forming a set of low-grade ultimate treasures.
The entirety of Blood Sea Palace was full of villains, and the bloodlight reached the skies.
Those who dared provoke the Blood Sea Palace met with dire consequences.
These nameless Loose Cultivators from the stronghold were not like the disciples of the great Immortal Sects who had backing. If killed, they would just be killed.
This group of elders and disciples from the Blood Sea Palace just happened to be passing by the Heavenly Court Relic when they noticed some activity inside. Thus, they came to the Southern Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court Relic and happened to encounter this group of Loose Cultivators. To kill them was just a matter of convenience.
The six Blood Knives flew towards the mountain king.
The Blood Knives tore through space and instantly arrived in front of the mountain king.
The mountain king clenched her hands and a spear treasure appeared, sweeping across to fend off the six Blood Knives!
The Blood Knives were barely repelled but flew back for another strike.
“You have some skill, but not much.”
The Blood Sea Palace elder seemed to be toying with his opponent, not yet using his full strength.
He injected his True Qi into the six Blood Knives. The blood light of the knives surged, their speed increased, and they constantly ripped through space with a whistling sound, attacking the mountain king.
“Elder Hanchan, our goal is to find the treasure causing commotion in the Heavenly Court Relic, let’s not waste any more time.”
“With your strength at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, killing them is as easy as turning your hand. Why waste time here?”
“If we delay here and the treasure inside is taken by someone else, once we return to the Blood Sea Palace, our leader might rage like thunder.”
The other elders and disciples of Blood Sea Palace were dissatisfied.
The demons of Blood Sea Palace committed all kinds of evil, and although Elder Hanchan was the highest in cultivation among this small group, it did not mean that the other Blood Sea Palace members wouldn’t dare to urge him.
“Heavenly, Heavenly Immortal Realm!”
The lackeys of the stronghold took several steps back in terror.
The leader of the Blood Sea Palace was actually a high-ranking expert at the Heavenly Immortal Realm level!
Even in the Immortal Realm full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, Earth Immortals could dominate a small nation, while Heavenly Immortals were the pillars of Immortal Sects, and Daluo Golden Immortals as the leaders of Immortal Sects.
When had their stronghold ever encountered a demon from the Heavenly Immortal Realm?
“I understand.”
Elder Hanchan, impatient, increased his True Qi. A massive amount of True Qi poured into the six Blood Knives, and their killing aura soared, moving so fast that even ordinary Earth Immortals could only see a blur of blood shadows.
Chi!
One of the Blood Knives wounded the stronghold leader, a slash appearing on her arm, spilling golden blood that was absorbed by the Blood Knife.
“Golden blood? Now that’s a fine prey.”
Elder Hanchan had not expected the blood of this stronghold leader to be extraordinary, most likely due to a special physique, therefore having golden blood.
The Blood Demon Skill practiced by Blood Sea Palace profited greatly from the highest quality blood energies.
Elder Hanchan, with a flick of his demon claw, directed the six Blood Knives to repeatedly wound the mountain king, and then used the knives to absorb her blood energy.
“Elder Hanchan is really lucky, to have come across a Loose Cultivator with a special physique.”
“To find such a special physique in a place like this is truly unexpected.”
The other elders and disciples from Blood Sea Palace, although envious that Elder Hanchan could continuously consume the special blood energy, could not intervene due to the rules of Blood Sea Palace.
The mountain king was injured, but the other lackeys of the stronghold didn’t dare to make a move.
The strength of Blood Sea Palace was terrifying; many elders and disciples had not yet acted. For the lackeys of the stronghold to swarm them would be futile.
“Run!”
Finally, a Loose Cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm within the bandits couldn’t withstand the immense pressure, summoned his Flying Sword, and attempted to flee.
“`
“Heh heh, none of you will escape.”
One of the Blood Sea Palace Elders extended a hand, and a dense blood sea surged from his palm, transforming into a vast expanse of bloody claws in the air, gripping the bandit lackeys at the Void Refinement Realm!
Boom!
The bloody claws merely squeezed, and the bandit lackeys were crushed, exploding into a mist of blood!
The blood mist merged into the bloody claws, and the blood energy was brought back into the body of the Blood Sea Palace Elder.
The Blood Sea Palace Elder licked his lips, his eyes cold and sinister.
The remaining bandit lackeys looked at each other, all pale-faced.
The Blood Sea Palace was far too powerful; against it, these bandits were as futile as ants trying to shake a tree.
“Damn it, if Master were here, he would definitely be able to deal with them. I haven’t found Master yet, I can’t just die like this…”
The mountain bandit queen thrust her spear like a dragon, as if a war god, fiercely fighting the Six Blood Knives. With the cultivation of an Earth Immortal, she was just managing to fend off Elder Hanchan’s attacks.
A resolute will supported her in battle; she had not yet seen her Master again and was unwilling to die under the blades of the Blood Sea Palace Elders just like that.
“The little girl’s will is indeed stubborn, but before the absolute difference in realm, you should just obediently accept death and help this old man refine his Demonic Cultivation Skills!”
Elder Hanchan’s eyes turned cruel, as surges of bloody energy poured out from his body, tumultuous and overwhelming, converging into a sea of blood, covering the sky!
The sea of blood enveloped the mountain king and the bandit lackeys, planning to swallow them all at once!
Suddenly, a sword Qi thousands of feet long slashed from afar, the sharp sword Qi tore through the sea of blood, which melted away like snow under sunlight.
“Who dares to foil my plan!”
Elder Hanchan was about to devour everyone in the stronghold, to advance his Blood Demon Skill even further, when unexpectedly, a Sword Cultivator from nowhere ruined his plan.
The people of the Blood Sea Palace all looked in the direction of the incoming sword Qi, astonished that someone would dare to provoke the Blood Sea Palace.
“The one spoiling your plan is none other than I.”
Lu Changsheng, along with his three disciples, following the map of the Moon River Kingdom, arrived at the Southern Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court relic and discovered two groups of cultivators fighting. One of the groups emitted a detestable scent of blood. Lu Changsheng intervened and unsheathed a sword from afar.
Though the man had not arrived, his sword Qi struck first.
Lu Changsheng was cultivating the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, and upon encountering heretic cultivators en route, taking the opportunity to act on behalf of heaven was more than he could ask for.
“Courting death!”
Elder Hanchan had never seen such an audacious Loose Cultivator before.
When the mountain bandit queen heard Lu Changsheng’s voice, she was first stunned and then her heart raced, a look of joy spreading across her face. She turned eagerly toward the direction of Lu Changsheng’s arrival, and upon seeing that familiar silhouette, she exclaimed, “Master!”
Lu Changsheng was also taken aback; after getting closer and clearly seeing the mountain bandit queen’s face, he was equally surprised, “Lian?”
This Earth Immortal Realm mountain bandit king was none other than his second disciple Lu Qinglian!
“Wuwuwu, Master, Lian has finally found you!”
Lu Qinglian completely ignored the Blood Sea Palace group still eying them covetously at the side, and threw herself into Lu Changsheng’s arms, crying tears of joy.
She had been searching for Lu Changsheng in the Immortal Realm for thousands of years, even unwilling to join any other Immortal Sect, and had finally reunited with her Master. Stay updated through M V L
As long as the Master was there, then no enemy mattered.
That was what Lu Qinglian believed.
“It’s good that you’re unharmed.”
Lu Changsheng stroked Lu Qinglian’s black hair.
In the Mortal Realm, he had taken six direct disciples, and all six disciples had successfully passed the Tribulation and ascended to the Immortal Realm.
The first to reunite with Lu Changsheng was his second disciple Lu Qinglian.
“How well have you cultivated the ‘Endless Karma Fire True Technique’ that I imparted to you in the past?”
“Lian has already cultivated it to Great Perfection and has been searching for Master’s whereabouts ever since.”
“This is your second senior sister.”
Lu Changsheng introduced their senior sister to his seventh disciple Xiao Fan, eighth disciple Ning Qianqian, and ninth disciple Dugu Aotian.
“We’ve met senior sister.”
Xiao Fan, Ning Qianqian, and Dugu Aotian all knew that Lu Changsheng had other six direct disciples before ascending, and upon meeting their second senior sister Lu Qinglian, they were somewhat surprised and pleased.
“Hey, hey, hey, are you all not taking us at Blood Sea Palace seriously?”
The Great Demon Heads of the Blood Sea Palace saw that Lu Changsheng, Lu Qinglian, and the others were completely ignoring them and couldn’t help being infuriated.
Were these great demon heads, who committed unforgivable acts and even kicked at passing dogs, really so insignificant?
