Inside Moon Mountain Pass.
Lu Yuan looked at the ten Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in front of him and decisively used the system to check their interface.
No matter where you come from, take my ‘Great Detection Technique’ first!

As expected, these guys are a big problem!
Not only did they cultivate cultivation techniques exclusive to the Xueyang Sect, the Blood Soul Spell, but their cultivation level had also reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Evidently, they had come prepared.
Due to the cultivation technique in Xueyang Sect, it was not particularly difficult to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.
However, Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators were still Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. They were still much stronger than Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators.
Therefore, when these ten Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators gathered together, they could still form a considerable destructive force.
Once these cultivators passed through the Moon Mountain Pass and entered the Great Xia Kingdom borders, that would undoubtedly have a huge impact on the citizens of the Great Xia Kingdom.
However, although the cultivation level of these people was not bad, they still could not pose a threat to Lu Yuan.
Looking at the few people in front of him, Lu Yuan directly spoke, “Cultivators of Xueyang Sect have gone through the trouble to come here. If we don’t fulfil the etiquette of a host, it would be too rude.”
“Lion-ape…”
“I’m here.”
“Do it.”
“Yes, sir!”
As soon as Lu Yuan gave the order, Lion-ape and the others no longer hesitated and instantly rushed towards Li Yueru and the others.
Seeing that Lu Yuan had just arrived and managed to point out their true identities with great certainty, Li Yueru was shocked.
This was because he felt that their disguises should have been flawless!
In the end, not only did they not fool Lion-ape and the others, even Lu Yuan was certain that they were impersonating Qingyun Sect disciples with just a simple glance at them.
“Could it be that our disguise… was it really that bad?!” Li Yueru thought to himself.
“Also, where did see through our flaws!”
“Shouldn’t you tell us what our weakness is and how you saw through us?”
“How could he act so recklessly and attack without saying anything!”
When Lu Yuan saw the ‘70% shock, 20% unwillingness, and 10% puzzlement’ in Li Yueru and the other’s eyes, he laughed secretly.
“Play by the rules?”
“What I, the steady Lu Yuan, pay attention to is not playing by the rules!” “If I play by the rules, wouldn’t it be easy for you to figure out my plans?” Even though he had already seen through the identities of Li Yueru and the others, however, in terms of combat strength, the Xueyang Sect seemed to have the upper hand.
After all, Lu Yuan’s side only had one Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator and five Innate Stage Martial artists.
Against them were ten Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
On the surface, their combat strength was naturally far inferior to the other party. It was a simple arithmetic problem.
Of course, this was only on the surface.
For a stable monster like Lu Yuan, if he didn’t have at least 98% confidence, it was impossible for him to appear in his main body!
Lu Yuan’s appearance could only mean that he had absolute confidence!
Now that the situation had developed to this point, Li Yueru decided to directly shed all pretence of cordiality.
“You want to stop us with just a few Innate Stage martial artists and a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator? Aren’t you underestimating us, Xueyang Sect!”
“Fellow practitioners of Xueyang Sect! Let this group of ignorant fellows see… what Xueyang Sect is made of!”
With Li Yueru’s roar, the ten cultivators of the Xueyang Sect instantly charged forward.
As the Blood Soul Spell was cast, large amounts of blood began to emerge from the bodies of the ten Xueyang Sect cultivators.
The special blood mixed with soul power quickly dyed their robes red, making them look like they were wearing bloody robes.
And this blood-red robe was not as simple as just changing its appearance.
In a sense, they were also a defensive divine ability exclusive to the cultivators of Xueyang Sect.
The Blood Soul Spell of the Xueyang Sect cultivators were far more than just the ‘Blood Robe’.
“Roar!”
Accompanied by a beast-like low growl, the appearance of a Xueyang Sect cultivator began to change drastically.
Blood-coloured fish scales appeared on the cultivator’s face, and his cheeks continued to crack, eventually turning into blood-coloured gills.
Other than that, more fish-like organs such as fin, fishtail and so on, appeared on the person’s body.
In an instant, the Xueyang Sect cultivator, who was originally in human form, became half-devil.
This was one of the characteristics of the Blood Soul Spell… Blood Demon Transformation!
The so-called ‘Blood Demon Transformation’ was a special divine ability produced by the cultivators of the Xueyang Sect after they absorbed the bloodline of a specific demon.
It was not an easy task to complete the ‘Blood Demon Transformation’.
This was because the process of ‘refining demon blood’ was much more difficult than the ordinary process of ‘eating’ it. It was comparable to changing one’s blood.
But at the same time, once the refinement was successful, not only would the cultivator possess the special talent of that type of demon they absorbed, but they would also be able to display the unique state of Blood Demon Transformation.
Therefore, the way Xueyang Sect measured a disciple’s potential was neither based on the disciple’s comprehension nor the disciple’s spiritual root aptitude.
Instead, it was measured based on what kind of demon bloodline they had refined.
For example, Yang Xiujie, the young master of Xueyang Sect, had refined a young Golden Rainbow Bird.
An adult Golden Rainbow Bird could reach the Nascent Soul stage cultivation.
Therefore, as long as Yang Xiujie continued to cultivate smoothly, he was likely to become a Nascent Soul Stage expert.
This was also the reason why he could become the Young Master of Xueyang Sect.
In a sense, the cultivators of Xueyang Sect were very similar to the bloodline warlocks in fantasy novels.
The Xueyang Sect cultivators obviously did not have such a good opportunity. Most of them had only refined Foundation Establishment Stage demons.
As the ten Xueyang Sect cultivators completed their Blood Demon Transformation, they began to show their ferocious side.
The ten blood-coloured demons quickly surrounded Lion-ape and the Innate Stage martial artists.
They looked like they wanted to tear them apart on the spot.
However, what puzzled the Xueyang Sect cultivators was that when faced with such a huge gap in strength, not only were these five Innate Stage martial artists not afraid, but they also appeared very calm.
Even Lu Yuan, who was at the back, did not seem to be in a hurry to make a move.
The Xueyang sect cultivators had a bad feeling about his calm appearance. “Could it be that these guys think that they can take us down for sure?” They thought.
They were right. Today, Lu Yuan…was really going to take them down for sure! An incomplete landscape painting suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan’s hand.
Under the astonished gazes of Li Yueru and the others, the landscape painting in Lu Yuan’s hand slowly opened.
As the landscape painting spread out, a mysterious array immediately spread out with Lu Yuan’s body as the core.
In the blink of an eye, the Xueyang Sect cultivators were surrounded within.
Even Lion-ape and the others were covered within this array.
Divine ability, Painted World!
Li Yueru’s pupils constricted as she sensed the change in her surroundings.
Damn it, this Qingyun Sect cultivator…. was actually an array master!
