Zhang Chen saw the spell that the old Daoist had used previously in the Dark Nether Treasure Manual.
The last spell he cast, feeding the ghost with his own body, was truly soul-scattering.
Given the environment of the Blood God Sect, it was difficult to use this ghostly spell, so he casually put it away.
“Come back!” Zhang Chen willed the Blood God Sons back into his body.
Then he thought of something and released a Blood God Son.
He wanted to try how long it would take for the Blood God Son to develop consciousness after leaving its owner.
“Hide, don’t hurt anyone, and try to avoid people as much as possible.” Leaving behind a command, Zhang Chen transformed into blood light and flew towards the direction of the sect.
The Blood God Son left behind stood stupidly in place for an hour, then came to the broken Daoist temple with some confusion.
After looking around, it finally crawled into an intact jar and covered it.
A few days later, Zhang Chen returned to the Beast Garden of the Blood God Sect.
“Senior Brother Zhang, you’re back.”
“Yes, has anything happened in the Beast Garden recently?”
“Senior Brother, don’t worry. Everything is normal.”
“It’s been hard on you during this period of time. This blood essence is your reward.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother. It’s my honor to be able to help you.”
“You can go back now.”
“Goodbye, Junior Brother.”
After sending Wang Zhengang off, Zhang Chen returned to his previous life as if nothing had happened.
A few more days passed, and the affairs of the Beast Park were taken over by Sixth Senior Brother.
Two months later, the day for Elder Blood River to assess the cultivation progress of the Blood Devouring Demon Technique arrived.
Arriving at Blood River Peak, Zhang Chen shouted, “Disciple Zhang Chen requests an audience with Master.”
“Clap, clap, clap…
The sound of flapping wings came from the air, and it was Ah Bat, the bat demon who had led the way last time.
“”Why are you here again? You’re interrupting my sleep.” Ah Bat’s tone was not good.
“Last time, Master gave me the cultivation method and said that he would assess my progress in six months. I would trouble Senior Brother to lead the way.” Zhang Chen replied calmly.
“Follow me.” Ah Bat turned around and left. Zhang Chen hurriedly followed. “Master, Zhang Chen is here.” “Well, bring him in.”
“Yes.”
“Disciple Zhang Chen greets Master.” Zhang Chen bowed.
Elder Blood River sized up Zhang Chen, as if he wanted to see something. “How’s your cultivation of the Blood Devouring Demon Technique?” “I’ve already mastered the basics,” Zhang Chen answered truthfully.
“Activate the technique, let me see,” ordered the Elder.
Zhang Chen circulated the Blood Devouring Demon Technique and his body emitted a dense blood fiend aura.
“Looks like you didn’t slack off.” Blood River Elder nodded in satisfaction.
“Master has ordered me not to slack off,” Zhang Chen said respectfully.
“Did it go well to take over the Beast Garden?”
“Master, everything went well.”
“I once said that if your cultivation progress is satisfactory to me, you will be rewarded. In the future, your Third Senior Brother’s benefits in the Beast Garden will be yours.”
Zhang Chen was stunned. “Then what about Third Senior Brother?”
“I have my own arrangements.”
Hearing this, Zhang Chen did not say anything else.
“Within a year, raise your cultivation to the second level of Foundation Establishment and attain mastery of the Blood Devouring Demon Technique. I will still reward you,” Elder Blood River promised once again.
“I will definitely work hard to cultivate.” Zhang Chen bowed and promised.
“Good, you may go.”
“I’ll take my leave.” Zhang Chen bowed and left.
Outside the cave, Ah Bat glared fiercely at Zhang Chen: ‘You’re only at the first level of foundation building. Who are you to take charge of Third Senior Brother’s interests in the Beast Garden?”
Zhang Chen was about to explain, but then he thought of something and his expression turned angry: “Who says I’m not qualified? Master rewarded me with this.”
“You’re not qualified at all. I advise you to proactively return the benefits of the
Beast Garden,” Ah Bat sneered.
“”Why am I not qualified?” Zhang Chen’s anger grew even stronger. “I said you’re not qualified, so you’re not!”
The two of them kept arguing, and Zhang Chen seemed very angry.
After Zhang Chen left, Ah Bat came to the cave abode of Elder Blood River. “Master, under my provocation, Zhang Chen appeared very angry.” It turned out that Ah Bat had deliberately mocked him earlier.
“He heard about the negative effects of the Blood Devouring Demon Technique?” Elder Blood River frowned slightly.
The entire Blood River Peak was enveloped by his divine sense, and it was difficult for any clues to escape his perception.
Although Zhang Chen appeared very angry, he could sense from his subtle expressions and spiritual perception that Zhang Chen was not really angry.
Elder Blood River suddenly smiled. “Interesting, really interesting. My third disciple will be back soon, and there will definitely be a conflict between them.
Let’s see how you perform.”
Giving Zhang Chen the benefits of his third disciple was also intentional, just to test, create contradictions, and expose more secrets from Zhang Chen. Back in his cave, Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. My angryperformance just now should be correct. Elder Blood River cannot be unaware of the side effects of the Blood Devouring Demon Technique.
Of course, it’s also possible that I’m overthinking it.
The jade slip containing the techniques did not mention the side effects, maybe Elder Blood River thought that the side effects were nothing since demonic techniques generally have side effects.”
Zhang Chen did not know the information that Elder Blood River had, but he was wary because of the Elder’s excessive attention.
The third senior brother had not yet returned, and another trouble had found Zhang Chen.
“Zhang Chen, come out. I know you’re in there!”
Inside tne cave, znang cnen, wno was originally meditating, nearcl tne unceremonious shouting outside and his face darkened as he got up and walked out.
As soon as he came out of the cave, Zhang Chen saw a stranger at the third level of Foundation Establishment, angrily questioning him. “What’s the matter, senior brother?”
“Did you kill Xu Yixian?” the man asked directly.
Zhang Chen understood immediately that this person should be Xu Yixian’s backer, the direct disciple Wen Xiaosu.
“Xu Yixian? Who is that? Senior brother, are you mistaken? I don’t know anyone named Xu Yixian.” Zhang Chen naturally wouldn’t admit it
Wen Xiaosu sneered, “Don’t pretend. Before Xu Yixian left the sect, he told me that he had a grudge with Li Mumin, and you are Li Mumin’s person. If something happens to him, it’s likely that you did it.
“I have also inquired about it. The day Xu Yixian left the sect, you left too. Who else could it be?”
“Senior brother, speak with evidence. Just because we left the sect on the same day doesn’t mean that I killed him. Maybe Xu Yixian offended someone else.” Zhang Chen still didn’t admit it.
Wen Xiaosu sneered, “It’s useless for you to deny it. If you give me 300 bowls of blood, then the matter is settled. Otherwise, I won’t let you go.”
Xu Yixian had not returned to the sect for three months, so Wen Xiaosu suspected that he might have died.
If Xu Yixian was alive, he could provide blood for him every day. Now that he was dead, he naturally came to Zhang Chen to make up for his losses and gain some benefits.
“I didn’t kill Xu Yixian. Why should I give you 300 bowls of blood? Senior brother, are you accusing and threatening me?” Zhang Chen refused without hesitation.
Wen Xiaosu originally thought that Zhang Chen, who had just advanced, was only at the first level of Foundation Establishment and should be easy to control. He did not expect him to ignore his threat..
