415 Shocking Change!!
The sudden turn of events spread shock everywhere. Soaring Cloud Ancestor’s expression changed and he shot up into the air toward the Eight Sects Alliance.
As soon as he arrived, he stood there in the sky, looking at Saintly Star, who was looking up at the fragmented-face of the god in the sky. His expression was unsightly as he looked at the blood-colored tree rising up from the ground in the Seven Blood Eyes.
There were only three people who could control the Taboo magic treasure of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect. One was him, the other was the sect master of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, and the last was his eldest son, who was also the successor for the sect master position.
Saintly Star’s… father!
“Chu Tianqun!” Soaring Cloud Ancestor shouted.
“Father.” A middle-aged man stepped out of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect and flew up into the sky to stand next to Saintly Star. He clasped hands and bowed to Soaring Cloud Ancestor.
It was Saintly Star’s father whose body had been destroyed by Old Master Seventh in the Nanhuang Continent’s Seven Blood Eyes.
“Why are you doing this?!” Soaring Cloud Ancestor growled.
“Father, don’t you understand?” Saintly Star’s father said with a faint smile on his face. However, his eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at Soaring Cloud Ancestor.
“My son is so innocent. It’s impossible for him to be born conjoined. They should have been normal twins. It was Lord Father who secretly made them devour each other to nurture Gu.”
“Isn’t your goal to possess my son and live out another life? That life lantern looks like good fortune, but it contains your spiritual mark. My son’s life and death are up to you.”
“I was actually very happy that his life lantern had been stolen. However, if I did not express my anger, you might have realized something. Thus, I went along with you.”
“I thought that after this matter, you would give up on your desire for my son. However, Father, you really are the ancestor. You actually used my son to make a deal with the Alliance Leader. Since you can’t possess him, you gave him to the Alliance Leader to raise his clone.
“Such an Alliance fills my heart with grief and indignation. I hate such a father so much that I want to devour your flesh and blood, so I might as well betray you!”
“As for the Seven Blood Eyes, I originally wanted to thank them. However, my son’s hatred for them runs deep into the bone. I had planned to perform this blood performance in the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, but I changed it to the Seven Blood Eyes to fulfill one of my son’s obsessions.”
“You can’t escape.” Soaring Cloud Ancestor looked deeply at his eldest son, especially at his face. He could tell that something was amiss, and his expression grew even more unsightly.
Saintly Star’s father smiled slightly. His face squirmed, and a mask appeared. On it was the fragmented face of the god. It looked awe-inspiring, and at the same time, a vast energy fluctuation erupted around him.
This was not his own power, but the divine power contained within the mask. It formed a shield that enveloped him.
With this protection, he might not be a match for his father, but he could protect himself and his son for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
“Someone is going to pick me up. I only need an incense stick of time.”
At the same time, the blood-colored tree appeared in the Seven Blood Eyes. A terrifying aura swept out, and the sky changed color. The wind and clouds rolled back, and the seven mountains shook violently. Mountain rocks fell, and the entire Seven Blood Eyes shook!
The power of sect extermination from the Taboo magic treasure exploded out, causing the mountains to look as if they were about to collapse. A large number of blood specters spread out from the blood tree and wreaked havoc.
From afar, the whole Seven Blood Eyes looked blurry, causing the disciples’ minds to tremble.
However… there was no way the Seven Blood Eyes threw their guard away after joining the Alliance, especially when they had experienced and shrewd leaders like Old Master Seventh and Xue Lianzi. When the blood-red tree appeared, Xue Lianzi immediately appeared. He turned into countless blood threads and charged towards the blood-red tree. His eyes even revealed greed.
Old Master Seventh also appeared, charging toward the blood tree, trying to suppress the tree with Xue Lianzi.
Even the Taboo magic treasure of the Seven Blood Eyes appeared on the territory of the Sea Corpse Race. When the seven eyes opened, the huge ancient mirror instantly locked onto the Seven Blood Eyes.
Under the suppression, the blood tree shook violently. As its terrifying fluctuations were suppressed, an eye actually appeared above it. Then, a second eye and a third eye appeared one after another.
These eyes were none other than the eyes of the Seven Blood Eyes’ Taboo.
As the eyes appeared, a plundering power erupted.
The Seven Blood Eyes… was actually plundering the Taboo magic treasure of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect. It was hard to say whether or not they had foreseen such a situation.
Participating in this matter required a certain level of cultivation. In the entire Seven Blood Eyes, only the ancestor and Old Master Seventh could take action. Together with the Seven Blood Eyes’ Taboo magic treasure, they could completely suppress the blood tree.
At the same time, although the other disciples were shocked, they immediately acted under the orders of their respective peak lords to destroy the blood specters formed by the blood tree.
It seemed like the Seven Blood Eyes was in chaos, but in reality… everything was moving in a good direction.
Moreover, once they suppressed the Taboo of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, they would possess two taboo treasures and their strength would definitely soar.
All this was seen by the ancestors of the other sects. However, they were just as confident and relaxed as Saintly Star and his father. They did not look as solemn as expected. This was because the matter this time was already clear.
The Soaring Cloud Sword Sect’s Saintly Star and his father betrayed the sect and performed a blood performance. For this, they polluted the river to misdirect the Alliance’s attention.
Naturally, the audience was Illuminate. After all, only Illuminate had the rule of blood performance.
Then, Illuminate that was watching the blood performance must be in the Alliance.
As long as they were in the Alliance, as one of the six major factions of the Yinghuang Province, they had the confidence to suppress Illuminate.
As for the Seven Blood Eyes, although the blood performance was initiated in it, it was actually not that affected.
The Immortal Enrichment River was the same. The source had been found and taken out. The river water was quickly purified, and the fog was also dissipating.
To the Eight Sects Alliance, everything was under control.
While Xu Qing sped toward the Seven Blood Eyes’ sect gate, he saw the huge blood tree, the shaking of the sect’s territory, the way a large number of disciples dispersed the blood specters, and the ancestor suppressing the blood tree together with Old Master Seventh.
From what he could see, there didn’t seem to be much chaos. However, for some reason, Xu Qing’s heart was still filled with intense uneasiness. This was especially true for the black fog in the sky. Under the blood-colored sky, it gradually fused together, causing the violet color to bloom even more than before.
Xu Qing took in a deep breath and took out a disorder teleportation talisman. He forcefully suppressed the uneasiness and stepped into the sect gate. He immediately joined the ranks of those who were dispelling the blood specters. With a wave of his hand, the life fires in his body ignited. With his peak combat strength, he directly suppressed a blood specter that pounced over.
Because the blood tree had been suppressed, the blood specters had no roots. Although they had wreaked havoc in the beginning, they continued to be destroyed under the encirclement of the Seven Blood Eyes disciples. However, there were still too many of them. Xu Qing sped through the sect gate, catching sight of the other peak lords and Dao protectors fighting in midair.
Seeing all of this, the uneasiness in Xu Qing’s heart eased a little. At that moment, a blood-colored light flashed in front of him. Xu Qing waved his hand and grabbed the blood specter, crushing it ruthlessly. Just as he was about to continue…
An extremely intense sense of danger erupted in Xu Qing’s mind.
This sense of danger came too suddenly and the terror it emitted was too great. Xu Qing didn’t have any time to react and he couldn’t even see anything. He only felt a loud bang above his head.
In the next moment… his Purple Heaven Infinite Crown appeared. The protective power spread out, but it shattered like paper.
The Purple Heaven Infinite Crown shattered into pieces.
Xu Qing only felt his vision turning black as he heard a shrill cry that sounded like a child’s.
His Life Substituting Ghost Baby appeared in front of him and shattered. Its body was in ruins and only seventy percent of it was left. It had lost one life.
That was not the end. The Life Substituting Ghost Baby screamed again after it shattered. Its broken body was even more damaged, and thirty percent of its body seemed to have been wiped away. It had lost its second life.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. It was extremely fast. Seeing that the Life Substituting Ghost Baby’s body was shaking and seemed like it was about to collapse, Xu Qing instinctively crushed the disorder teleportation talisman in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing’s body contorted. As another shrill cry of a child rang out, Xu Qing’s figure directly disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only the remaining teleportation ripples and the ghost baby that was completely dead.
“Interesting. Fine, I’ll let you go this time.” A soft voice rang out from the void. A figure instantly left the place where Xu Qing had disappeared and headed straight for the Seven Blood Eyes’ peak lords who were suppressing the blood specters in the sky.
The scene just now caused the expressions of Xue Lianzi and Old Master Seventh to change. Even the ancestors of the Eight Sects Alliance, who were paying close attention to the situation, noticed it, and their expressions changed.
“Nihility!”
However, just as everyone’s minds shook, the figure approached Lord Sixth!
His attack against Xu Qing was just a casual attack. However, it was different now. The figure was going all out with his Nihility cultivation base. His speed was so fast, his concealment was so deep, and his explosive speed was so sudden that Xue Lianzi and Old Master Seventh, who were suppressing the blood tree, were unable to intercept him immediately. In the next moment…
A blood light exploded from Lord Sixth’s neck.
Lord Sixth’s body trembled, and his eyes were filled with confusion, trance, and relief. In the end, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he felt as if heaven and earth were spinning.
His head… flew up!
His Nascent Soul… collapsed!
Old Master Seventh and Xue Lianzi, who were always calm, let out a heart-wrenching cry.
It was filled with disbelief, sorrow, and madness.
The wind and clouds changed color!
Seven Blood Eyes seemed to be crying!
