Chapter 174: The Fall of the Blood Flame Sect
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The collaboration between the Mother Tree and the Insect and Giant Clans was like a drop of ink dripping into the clear pond in the Black Mist Zone.
At the beginning, it only slightly clouded the waters of the pond—during the initial stages of their cooperation, the presence of the Mother Tree did not entirely upheave the entire Black Mist Zone.
However, what the future held was anyone’s guess.
As a minor subplot in this larger event, Ma’s death was even more insignificant.
The one who had taken a life, the Queen of Blades, had no idea who was the zombie she had killed.
The Mother Tree did not care much about Ma.
But a grain of sand in the tide of time became a mountain for an individual.
Yamamoto and the others in the Blood Flame Sect were utterly devastated…
In Ma’s residence, looking at the exploding crystal ball, Yamamoto and the other three exchanged looks.
“Leader?”
“Leader?”
They called out softly to the crystal ball as if summoning a spirit.
Until someone walked over and looked at the exploding crystal ball, his expression changed drastically.
“The leader is dead!!”
The leader of the Blood Flame Sect, Ma, was a Level 2 Spirit Realm expert.
As the pillar and the strongest expert of the Blood Flame Sect, Ma’s death undoubtedly caused monstrous waves within the Blood Flame Sect.
Several Level 9 Physique Realm zombies argued for a long time.
Some wanted to investigate the cause of Ma’s death.
Some wanted to report it to higher-ups.
And some saw this as an opportunity to seize the position of the Blood Flame Sect’s leader.
In short, the thought processes of intelligent beings were generally similar.
Many were involved in the chaotic arguments. Not only did they not solve the problem, but they also wasted more time.
As for Yamamoto, Yama An, and the other Tokyo ghouls, although they were geniuses, their strength was insufficient and they could not interrupt at all in this kind of situation.
These chaotic arguments continued for three days within the Blood Flame Sect.
Day no of the Black Mist Calendar.
A Level 9 Physique Realm Undead called Qi ascended to the position of the head of the Blood Flame Sect and reported the news of Ma’s death to the higher-ups of the Undead Clan.
However, it did not know that just a few days’ journey away, the Insect Clan’s army was already on the march.
Day 115 of the Black Mist Calendar.
Under the lead of the three Spirit Realm Insect Clan members, the insect clan army launched an attack on the Blood Flame Sect.
And with Ma gone, the Blood Flame Sect no longer had any Spirit Realm expert!
In the absence of high-level combatants, the fall of the Blood Flame Sect happened with extraordinary speed.
Day 117 of the Black Mist Calendar.
The Blood Flame Sect was wiped off.
The Blade Edge Insect Nest first destroyed the Chaoshan Division and then the Blood Flame Division. This was equivalent to the Insect Clan officially declaring war on the Undead Clan.
Of course, these things were only to be revealed later.
At the original location of the Blood Flame Division.
A large number of workers dragged the corpses and collected the blood from the blood pool and even the wooden structures. These were all biomass needed by the Mother Tree, and the Insect Clan would definitely not let anything go to waste.
Inside Ma’s former residence, the three Spirit Realm Insect Clan members were discussing their next move.
“Should we continue to push in the direction of Bear Mountain?”
“No need. There’s not much to gain there. It’s a remote area and won’t yield many spoils of war. Instead of advancing that way, we’d be better off joining forces with the Queen and launching a major attack against the undead!”
The Insect Clan excelled in combat and was unafraid of casualties. Even before the Mother Tree, the Insect Clan was adept at sparking wars. Now that they had the Mother Tree, war was essentially a sure profit for them.
The more enemies, the better.
The larger the scale of the war, the better.
However, there were no major hostile clans in the direction of Bear Mountain, and having secured the safety of their rear by eradicating the Blood Flame Division, there was no need to spend too much effort there.
Another Spirit Realm Insect Clan member suddenly said, “Previously, a group of people seemed to have escaped from the Blood Flame Division. Don’t you need to chase after them?”
The other two insect creatures shook their heads. “There’s no need. I’ve observed that the undead who escaped are not strong. The strongest is only at Level 5 of the Physique Realm. It’s not worth wasting energy on them.”
Weak strength was equivalent to low energy.
It was equivalent to not being able to extract much blood essence.
Whether they were Tribulation Transcenders was no longer important.
And so, the short meeting ended.
After tidying up everything in the Blood Flame Division, the Insect Clan slowly retreated with their full spoils of war, leaving behind a scene of devastation.
Near the initial landing point of the Tribulation Transcenders in Tokyo.
Yama An, Yamamoto Yuichiro, and a group of Tokyo Ghouls walked through the wilderness.
Their faces were filled with fear and worry.
A few days ago, when the Insect Clan attacked, the Blood Flame Division had fiercely counterattacked, fighting to the death.
However, the significance of those who experienced the tribulation was too great. These Tokyo ghouls who had just joined the Blood Flame Division did not feel strongly attached to it. At least, they lacked the courage to share its life and death.
Therefore, Yama An, Yamamoto Yuichiro , and Keiyi together sent the Tokyo ghouls led by Yama An and Yuichiro Yamamoto out of the Blood Flame Division.
They have maps.
They also knew the location of the nearby Undead Clan strongholds.
Unfortunately, the location of the Blood Flame Division was remote to begin with. With the Insect Clan blocking one side and the other side being a long journey through the Bear Mountain to reach the Chaotic Domain.
This was their only way out.
To accommodate the weaker members of the group, Yamamoto and the others traveled slowly.
On the other hand, the danger along the way was not too great—Physique Realm experts were weaklings among major clans, but in the wilderness, they were not weak by any means.
On day 126 of the Black Mist Calendar, Yamamoto saw smoke rising in the distance.
He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the rising smoke.
“That’s where the Nanxiang people are!”
His tone was complex…
The last time, he had tried to hunt the Nanxiang people and was beaten up by Lu Ming.
Originally, Yamamoto wanted to ask the experts of the Blood Flame Division to step forward and flatten Nanxiang. However, he did not expect that while Nanxiang was fine, the Blood Flame Division was destroyed.
At this moment, Yamamoto came to the vicinity of the Nanxiang gathering place again. He really did not know what expression to put on.
His mood was quite complicated.
Beside him, Hachima An secretly spoke.
“Don’t cause trouble. Cross Nanxiang and head directly for the Chaotic Domain.”
However, he did not expect his proposal to meet resistance from others.
Kanzaki Asao glared at him. “Hachima An, are you afraid?!”
Hamatori,”???”
What did fear have to do with avoiding causing trouble?
Before Hachima An could speak, Yamanaka Hitomi rubbed her belly, licked her lips, and softly said, “Uncle Hamatori, never mind whether you’re scared or not, right now our stomachs are really hungry…”
They had not brought much supplies when they fled.
And because the team was not small, the blood food they hunted along the way was not nearly enough to go round.
Although zombies could endure hunger much better than humans, prolonged inadequate feeding indeed greatly affected their combat capabilities.
Hachima An frowned as he felt that Yamanaka Hitomi words made sense.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “Yamamoto, didn’t you see a very powerful Awakened here previously? Do you think the four of us are his match?”
Teraoka Chaoyi pointed at Hachima An and laughed. “Look, 1 told you you’re afraid.”
Hachima An ignored this idiot.
Until Yamamoto Yuichiro nodded casually. “I think the four of us should be able to deal with him if we work together.”
“Moreover… I’m actually quite eager for that person’s flesh and blood.”
Zombies with intelligence usually advanced through the Devourer. They retained a portion of the characteristics of the Devourer.
Leaving Lu Ming’s strength aside, the energy contained in his flesh and blood alone was extraordinary.
Just that Body Transformation superpower alone made Yamamoto Yuichiro extremely envious!
This made Hachima An sigh slightly.
He turned to look at the large zombie team behind him.
Hunger had already made all their eyes red.
Without a satisfying meal, they would not be able to ensure their combat capabilities after entering the Chaos Domain, and they would encounter even greater dangers.
Given this, having a hearty meal in Nanxiang became a reasonable option.
Thinking of this, Hachima An looked at Teraoka Chaoyi. Teraoka Chaoyi snorted coldly and headed alone towards the Nanxiang gathering place..
