The Blood God Sect sealed the mountain for a time to clear out the inside. Infiltrators were found in the Ten Heavenly Palaces, Elder Pavilion, and the four Discipline Kings’ mansions.
The entire sect was overturned and blood flowed like rivers. Many pavilions, spiritual mountains and cave residences were destroyed.
However, this chaos didn’t actually last too long. Things had already stabilized and order was recovering quickly.
Even with Elder Yuan Zhou and Yuan Xing’s strong cultivations, they were still exhausted from these past few days. They were tensed at all times, fearing that something uncontrollable would happen.
Right now, they could finally breathe more easily. They rested in a small pavilion of the Elder Pavilion.
Elder Yuan Xing sighed. “Thankfully, the Deity cleared out most of the top figures of the Immortal Vampires. Otherwise, I have no clue how big the chaos would be. Hundreds of thousands of years of heritage might have ended.”
Elder Yuan Zhou had interacted with Gu Linfeng before, so he was sure of the latter’s abilities. He nodded. “No matter what, Discipline King Diyuan has been killed, Yuan Gui and Yu Huacheng were driven out too. With the following cleanup, the Blood God Sect will definitely be revived and grow stronger.”
Whoosh!
Just then, a communication rune flew in from the sky and stopped in the air above the pavilion.
Elder Yuan Zhou would receive many such runes every day. He didn’t find it strange, so he reached out and grabbed. The rune crossed hundreds of feet to appear in his hand.
Seeing the content on it, Elder Yuan Zhou’s eyes widened. A sharp aura poured out of him.
Elder Yuan Xing felt that something was wrong, so he asked, “What happened?”
Elder Yuan Zhou handed the rune to Elder Yuan Xing. Seeing the words on it, Elder Yuan Xing inhaled sharply. His eyes grew more and more serious.
Half a beat later, they let out a long sigh and started at each other.
“What do you think?” Elder Yuan Xing asked first.
Elder Yuan Zhou stood up and paced through the pavilion. “That Gu Linfeng always reveals such frightening information. If we hadn’t found so many infiltrators, I really wouldn’t believe this.”
“What if the Hierarch Madame really is working for the Immortal Vampires?” Elder Yuan Xing asked.
Elder Yuan Zhou gradually calmed down. “Gu Linfeng is always flawless with his actions,” he said gravely. “He rarely makes mistakes. Since he dares to send this to me, it must be true.”
Elder Yuan Xing also nodded. “Back then, the Hierarch Madame was the most talented of us disciples. She also cultivated the most quickly. She’d been secluded in Mo You Valley for the past 300 years. I don’t know what terrifying level her cultivation has reached.”
The two Saint Elders finally realized something horrible. The Blood God Sect’s crisis hadn’t been resolved. The true boss was still hidden behind the curtains.
With the Hierarch Madame’s wisdom and cultivation, who would be able to stop her if she attacked?
“Should we activate the Blood God Altar to destroy Mo You Valley?” Elder Yuan Zhou asked.
Other than the Blood God Mace, the sect had another extremely effective treasure. It was the Blood God Altar created by millions and millions of bones piled together.
It included the skeletons and saint souls of all of the past Hierarchs and grandmasters. It was horribly mighty. Once activated, it meant that the moment of life or death for the sect had arrived.
Elder Yuan Xing shook his head. “Not only will activating the Blood God Sect cost us greatly, it can also be activated only once per year. What if there are more huge changes this year? We shouldn’t activate it if we can help it.”
After discussing, Elder Yuan Xing and Yuan Zhou decided that Elder Yuan Zhou would personally guard the defensive formation. As long as he was careful, he could use the formation’s might to repress the Hierarch Madame.
“If she appears, use the formation directly to kill her. Do not speak with her.”
After saying that, Elder Yuan Xing left the Elder Pavilion to investigate everything about the Hierarch Madame. No matter what, he was still doubtful about Gu Linfeng’s information. He had to find evidence to prove the Hierarch Madame’s identity.
…
Huang Yanchen received Zhang Ruochen’s communication rune. She immediately left the Hidden Dragon Palace with Qing Mo and soon reunited with him.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Qing Mo and nodded. Since Elder Yuan Zhou could save Qing Mo, he thought, this means that he deserves to be trusted.
Huang Yanchen was already clear about the situation. A smile appeared on her snow-white and delicate face. “I didn’t think that you could be cruel to a beauty like Empress Moran. Didn’t you feel bad at all?”
Zhang Ruochen smiled. “Stop being jealous. We must work on the important task now. Can you help me do something?”
“What?” Huang Yanchen asked.
Zhang Ruochen took out the Saint Lady’s blood-printed saint decree and gave it to Huang Yanchen. “Bring this scroll to Zhou Mu of Tiantai State and tell him where Prince Xia of the Huangtian Tribe is hiding. Even if you don’t give him an order, I trust that he’ll know what to do.”
Huang Yanchen sensed the Saintly Way aura from the scroll and something strange entered her eyes. “The Saint Lady’s decree? It’s written in blood too. It seems that you have a deep relationship with this renowned Saint. I heard that seeing the blood-printed saint decree is like seeing the true person.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to let Huang Yanchen know his relationship with the Saint Lady, but he couldn’t help it. He needed Huang Yanchen to do this.
Since it was exposed, he could only go with the flow. “I’ll tell you how I met her later,” he said. “Is that okay?”
“Of course.” Huang Yanchen seemed quite calm.
After that, Zhang Ruochen told her some other things. Then they separated again, hurrying in two opposite directions.
Huang Yanchen and Qing Mo headed toward Yunzhong City in Tiantai State. Zhang Ruochen and Blackie went to the Black Market’s headquarters in Tiantai State. Prince Xia and the strong cultivators of the Huangtian Tribe were waiting there.
The Black Market’s headquarters gathered cultivators of the Evil Way from all over. All sorts of people were here. It could be known as the capital of evil.
The Huangtian Tribe noticed this, so they’d come to hide here in the Black Market’s headquarters.
Zhang Ruochen and Blackie hurried over first. Naturally, it was to check beforehand just how many cultivators from the Huangtian Tribe were there. This would make catching them easier.
“Elder Yuan Gui and Yu Huacheng, lord of the Disorder Heavenly Palace, must have escaped to here as well,” Blackie said. “They might have grouped with the Huangtian Tribe.”
The Huangtian Tribe was filled with strong figures. Elder Yuan Gui and the Disorder Heavenly Palace’s lord were both cruel figures too. With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, he was far from able to counter them. It was extremely dangerous for him to head to the Black Market’s headquarters now.
However, he had no other choice.
“The Black Market and Immortal Vampires are enemies too,” Zhang Ruochen said. “We can send a message to the Black Market’s upper level and use their power against the Vampires.”
“Should we really do that? What if we alert the Vampires instead?” Blackie was worried.
“In the Black Market’s headquarters, their forces will naturally be the strongest. If they can fight against the Huangtian Tribe, it’ll be much easier for us. We must try, no matter what. Of course, we must find a suitable person to help us send the information to the various Saints.”
In the Blue Dragon Void World, the cultivators of the Black Market and imperial court had worked together for the dignity of the human race and kill the Immortal Vampires and beasts.
Thus, Zhang Ruochen believed that most of the evil Saints still wished to defeat the Vampires.
Zhang Ruochen and Blackie hurried down the road. They only used around half a day and could already see the silhouette of the huge black city on the horizon.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t change his features. He just shrouded himself with Spiritual Power. This way, those weaker than him wouldn’t be able to see his features and figure clearly.
He walked into the Black Market just like that.
“Seventh Street, Xingyun Mansion.”
The Hierarch Madame had told Zhang Ruochen this location before leaving Mo You Valley.
Right now, he’d come to the Seventh Street. He was ready to go meet Prince Xia as Gu Linfeng. He wondered just how powerful this prince was.
Since the Huangtian Blood Emperor sent him to meet with the Blood God Sect, he must not be a minor figure.
When Zhang Ruochen reached Xingyun Mansion, the door opened automatically before he even reported his name. Three figures walked out.
They were Elder Yuan Gui, Disorder Heavenly Palace lord Yu Huacheng, and an extremely beautiful and young woman standing between them. This woman had a very elegant aura. She walked gracefully too. This was Empress Huangtian whom Zhang Ruochen had fought with in the Blue Dragon Void World.
Empress Huangtian clearly knew that Gu Linfeng represented the Hierarch Madame, so she smiled. “Deity, we’ve been waiting. Please come in!”
Gu Linfeng had killed Saint Hongyuan, an infiltrator from the Huangtian Tribe, so he had some conflicts with them. However, he was now under the Hierarch Madame. He was working for the Immortal Vampires, so Empress Huangtian didn’t mention it.
To her, taking down the Blood God Sect was the important matter.
