After Zhang Chen left, the demon beasts entered the cave to cultivate.
Under the supervision of the Blood God Son, the demon beasts cultivated seriously.
Foundation Establishment cultivators could abstain from food, so it was not a problem. Only a few gluttonous demon beasts occasionally went out to hunt in the mountains.
However, Zhang Chen had overlooked a problem. These demon beasts would mate and reproduce!
Decades of time was enough for these demon beasts to give birth to many descendants.
Several decades of time were enough for these demon beasts to give birth to many offspring.
And these offspring were not under Zhang Chen’s control and could potentially cause trouble.
At the border between the Blood God Sect and the Silver Moon Sect, a blood beam descended.
Zhang Chen scanned his surroundings. After confirming that there was no one around, his face suddenly distorted violently. A moment later, he turned into another unfamiliar face.
Immediately after, he circulated the Yin Energy Isolating Technique and hid his Blood God Sect’s aura.
Finally, he took off his personal clothes and changed into a normal black outfit before using the Feather Flight Technique to fly towards the Silver Moon Sect’s territory.
Fifteen days later, in the sky above a city, Zhang Chen held a blood-colored jade pendant.
This was the Bloodline Jade Pendant. It could sense the general direction of the descendants of the bloodline it was related to. When they were a certain distance away, it would emit light.
“Eldest Senior Brother’s descendant should be here.”
Zhang Chen hung the jade pendant on his waist and went to a small alleyway that was off the beaten path.
Hong Jinbao, a down-and-out scholar, had a secret in his heart.
His grandfather was not a mortal, but a cultivator, a demonic cultivator of the Blood God Sect.
Because he was in the territory of the orthodox sect, he never dared to publicize it. He only learned of this from his father before he passed away.
He did not feel proud of it but ashamed, as he had heard too much about the evil reputation of demonic cultivators since he was young.
Influenced by his environment, he was full of disgust towards demonic cultivators.
Although he did not like being a descendant of demonic cultivators, he was still somewhat proud in his heart, thinking that if his ancestors could become cultivators, he could become one too.
A few years ago, when the Silver Moon Sect was accepting disciples, he went there full of confidence.
He did have spiritual roots, but they were only low-grade spiritual roots, and he was not recognized by the Silver Moon Sect.
After being deeply frustrated, his willpower was weakened, and he became disheartened.
Later on, there was the incident of the Blood God Sect snatching disciples. He felt even more complicated and did not know if he should be glad or disappointed.
During the disciple-snatching incident, the Blood God Sect’s disciples did not care about the life and death of ordinary mortals, and their notoriety became even more prominent.
“Why was my ancestor a demonic cultivator and not a righteous cultivator!” Whenever he thought of this, Hong Jinbao felt anger and guilt in his heart.
“Bang, bang, bang…’
At this moment, he heard a knocking on the door outside.
“Who could it be?” Hong Jinbao was a little puzzled and walked towards the door.
Because of his identity and inner arrogance, he rarely interacted with others and had no friends. Even the neighbors and passersby despised him.
When he opened the door, Hong Jinbao saw a stranger he had never met before.
This man’s appearance was ordinary. His face was indifferent and cold. He was wearing black clothes, and he had a certain unique temperament that was difficult to describe.
Immediately, his gaze was drawn to the jade pendant hanging from the man’s waist.
The jade pendant occasionally shimmered with a bright red light, as if it was about to drip blood.
For some reason, the moment he saw the jade pendant, he felt a sense of familiarity that deeply attracted him.
Hong Jinbao was lost in thought and involuntarily reached out his hand, wanting to touch the jade pendant.
At this moment, Zhang Chen said, “What’s your name?”
Hong Jinbao came back to his senses and answered instinctively: “My name is Hong Jinbao.”
Zhang Chen looked at the flashing jade pendant and nodded. “Looks like you’re indeed Senior Brother Hong’s descendant. I was entrusted by someone to give these things to you.”
As he spoke, Zhang Chen took out the storage bag Hong Longguang had given him and handed it to Hong Jinbao.
Hong Jinbao stared at the storage bag, the words “Senior Brother Hong’s descendant” and “entrusted by someone” repeated in his mind, throbbing and surging.
From the literal meaning, he had already guessed that the black-robed man in front of him was entrusted by his demonic cultivator grandfather to give him something.
“What… what is this?” Hong Jinbao’s voice trembled, and he was at a loss.
Zhang Chen said indifferently, “This is a storage bag. There are some spirit stones inside, as well as cultivation techniques and spells.”
“Cultivation techniques?!”
Hong Jinbao was both surprised and delighted. He had always longed to become a cultivator, but he never expected to receive a cultivation technique right at his doorstep.
He eagerly reached out to take the storage bag, but no matter how hard he tried to open it, he couldn’t. He was sweating profusely from anxiety.
“If you want to open the storage bag, you need spiritual energy. Ordinary people can’t open the storage bag.”
As he spoke, Zhang Chen pointed a finger and sent a burst of spiritual power towards the bag.
“Hualala…” A pile of things spilled out of the bag.
These included glowing stones and old yellowed books.
Zhang Chen wasn’t being kind. It was because Hong Longguang had said that if his descendants were in trouble, he could help them out if he was in the mood.
Hong Longguang was willing to tell him the spells and secrets, so Zhang Chen was returning the favor.
Therefore, Zhang Chen’s help was nothing.
Hong Jinbao stared in disbelief at the items on the ground. He picked up the books with trembling hands and eagerly flipped through them.
After the exchange was complete and the items were delivered, Zhang Chen turned to leave.
Just as Zhang Chen was about to leave, Hong Longguang suddenly shouted,
“Please wait! ”
Zhang Chen stopped in his tracks, turned around, and narrowed his eyes. “What is it?”
Hong Jinbao respectfully said, “There are still a few elders in my family. These items were left by my grandfather and should be shared among us. To avoid any misunderstandings that I may have taken something that belonged to others, could you please act as a witness for me?
“Okay.” For some reason, Zhang Chen actually nodded in agreement.
“Please wait here. I’ll be back soon,” said Hong Jinbao, as he joyfully put the books and stones into his arms and hurried away.
As he watched Hong Jinbao leave, Zhang Chen’s expression turned cold. “Hong senior brother, it seems that your descendants have some inappropriate ideas.
Don’t blame me for this.’
Under the influence of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Demon Technique, he saw a large amount of black energy emanating from Hong Jinbao.
That represented malice!
The reason why Zhang Chen stayed was to see what Hong Jinbao was up to.
He even hoped that Hong Jinbao could attract cultivators from the Silver Moon Sect and try out the Soul Searching Technique.
He had thought about it before he came here, finding a cultivator to perform soul-searching so he could secure a position in the Silver Moon Sect market. If Hong Jinbao could attract a cultivator, he wouldn’t have to go looking for one.
On the other hand, Hong Jinbao was running towards the Silver Moon Sect outside the city.
“My grandfather was a demonic cultivator of the Blood God Sect. He referred to my grandfather as his senior brother, so he must also be a demonic cultivator of the Blood God Sect.
“If I report to the Silver Moon Sect, I might be able to join them!”
Hong Jinbao’s face was filled with excitement. He had been born and raised in the righteous realm, so he naturally yearned for the righteous path and hated the demonic path.
Joining the Silver Moon Sect was the aspiration of almost everyone in the Silver Moon Sect territory, so reporting to the Silver Moon Sect and gaining merit to join was a tempting idea.
Although he had just obtained a cultivation technique, he had never seen any other cultivation technique before and did not know if it was a demonic technique.
He did not want to cultivate demonic techniques. Even if he couldn’t join the Silver Moon Sect, reporting a demonic cultivator should at least earn him a righteous cultivation technique..
