Chapter 74: Mission Failure
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In a certain hall in the palace, a middle-aged man with a silver moon embroidered on his clothes sat cross-legged.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and revealed a confident smile.
“The people from the Blood God Sect are finally here. Activate the formation!
As the middle-aged Daoist priest made a hand gesture, the formation that enveloped the palace immediately appeared, sealing off the palace, making it impossible to enter or exit.
“Look, what’s that shining in the sky!”
“What’s happening!”
Seeing the glowing cover enveloping the palace, panic swept through the palace.
“Imperial Preceptor, Imperial Preceptor, there’s a glowing cover above the palace.” A man in a dragon robe rushed into the hall in a fluster.
“Your Majesty, don’t worry. This is just me activating the formation,” the Imperial Preceptor explained calmly.
The king became even more frightened because it was impossible to activate the formation for no reason. “Could it be that the Blood God Sect’s demons are here?”
The Imperial Preceptor nodded. “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I’ll deal with the demons of the Blood God Sect now. You can rest assured that nothing will happen to you here.”
The king calmed down. “I’ll follow your arrangement.”
“Good.”
The Imperial Preceptor walked out of the hall, turned into white light, and flew away. The king looked on with envy.
On the other side, a Blood God Son turned into a puddle of blood, flowing silently inside the palace. Whether it was the guards, the palace maids, or the eunuchs, none of them noticed.
Just as the Blood God Son was about to reach the king’s bedroom, a white light descended.
“Do you still think you can hide under my formation?” The Imperial Preceptor pointed his finger and a full moon flew out, slicing through a red pillar.
The red paint on the pillar suddenly fell off, turning into a bloody light that wanted to escape.
“Forbidden!” The Imperial Preceptor made a hand seal. Rays of light fell from the sky and trapped the blood light.
Only then did the figure of the blood light appear. It was a human figure completely made of blood.
“So it’s the Blood God Son.” The Imperial Preceptor was a little disappointed.
“Silver Moon Cold Light! ”
A silver moon rose from behind the Imperial Preceptor, and a bone-piercing light shone on the Blood God on.
After being illuminated by the cold light, the Blood God Son slowly turned into an ice sculpture.
“Crack! ”
The ice sculpture shattered, turning into powdered ice crystals.
The Blood God Son, who was difficult to defeat, actually perished just like that.
Of course, part of the reason for this was that the Blood God Son was trapped in the formation and unable to evade or escape.
Outside the palace, Zhang Chen’s face was solemn. He hadn’t expected the Blood God Son to be defeated so quickly.
Through his connection with the Blood God Son, he learned of the Imperial Preceptor’s cultivation level, which was at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.
If they were outside, perhaps he could fight him, but within the formation, he recognized that he was not a match for him and didn’t even have a chance to escape.
Therefore, he was somewhat relieved that he had not entered the palace and instead sent the Blood God Son to gather information.
“Although I have already killed Wen Xiaosu, I’m still trapped by the mission he arranged for me.”
Actually, Zhang Chen had another option, which was to slaughter ordinary people and force the king of Shanyue to offer tributes to the Blood God Sect again.
The Imperial Preceptor could protect the king, but he could not protect
everyone.
However, Zhang Chen was not a bloodthirsty person and could not bring himself to do something so inhumane.
After all, he had come from a modern era and was deeply influenced by modern thinking.
Besides, fighting against an Imperial Preceptor at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment would be extremely difficult and would result in heavy losses, no matter who won or lost, and the consumption would be immense, so it was more worthwhile to receive punishment.
“But I can’t just slink away like this. I’ll try to intimidate him. If it doesn’t work, then I’ll have to give up the mission and return to the sect to be punished.”
With that in mind, Zhang Chen released the Blood God Sons from within him.
As the Imperial Preceptor was about to return to the main hall after dealing with the Blood God Son, there was suddenly a series of intense impacts in the sky.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Looking up, he saw 40 Blood God Sons slamming into the formation.
Under the intense barrage, the formation flickered with brilliant light.
But the Imperial Preceptor wasn’t worried. Unless five Foundation Establishment experts attacked simultaneously, the formation couldn’t be broken.
The voice of Zhang Chen emerged from one of the Blood God Sons. “King of Shanyue, you have betrayed the Blood God Sect and joined the Silver Moon Sect. Do you realize the consequences?
You may have the protection of the Silver Moon Sect, but what about your people?
The Blood God Sect is a demonic sect. If you don’t offer us tributes again, we will bathe Shanyue in blood. The Silver Moon Sect won’t get what we can’t.”
Hearing this, the Imperial Preceptor’s face darkened. “Demonic sects are so despicable, threatening mortals! The King of Shanyue may be shaken. We need to appease him first.”
At this time, the king was in a panic, walking back and forth in the hall like an ant on a hot pot.
“What should we do? If the Blood God Sect really bathes Shanyue in blood, then I’ll truly become a solitary ruler. Why hasn’t the Imperial Preceptor returned yet?”
Yang Junchang recognized the familiar voice and immediately imagined the handsome Daoist: “It’s him. He’s actually a Blood God Sect immortal!
The people of Xinyue City also heard Zhang Chen’s words and were filled with panic and fear.
“Maybe we should ask His Majesty to offer tributes to the Blood God Sect again. The Silver Moon Sect is a righteous immortal sect. Even if we don’t offer them tributes, they won’t bathe Shanyue in blood.”
“Right, let’s go ask His Majesty now.”
“Imperial Preceptor, the Blood God Sect wants to wash away Shanyue Country with blood. What should we do?” The king hurriedly asked as he saw a white light fly into the throne room.
“Your Majesty, rest assured. Since my Silver Moon Sect has accepted the offering from Shanyue Kingdom, we will naturally protect you fully. I will report to the sect and have them send people over.” The Imperial Preceptor remained calm and unaffected by the threat.
If he could be easily threatened like this, then the righteous immortal sects could just give the mortal world to the demonic sects.
The king still looked worried, “I believe in you, but it’s hard to calm down the ministers and the people. Many people opposed offerings to the Silver Moon Sect in the first place, and now there may be rebellions and calls for my dismissal.”
“With me here, no amount of mortals can cause trouble. Instead, we can’t let the disciple of the Blood God Sect keep acting arrogantly. He dares not enter the formation, so I’ll go out and meet him.”
After speaking, the Imperial Preceptor flew out of the formation.
“Silver Moon Cold Light!”
Zhang Chen, hiding in the shadows, saw a round of silver moonlight emitting cold light emerge from the formation.
The Blood God Sons who were illuminated by the cold light immediately began to freeze on the surface of their bodies.
The people from the Silver Moon Sect are really powerful. No wonder they dare to rob the territory of the Blood God Sect. It seems that my threat has not succeeded.
Well, forget it. The mission failed, and it’s not worth fighting hard.”
“Moon Gold Wheel!”
A brilliant crescent-shaped magical tool flew out of the Imperial Preceptor’s hand and attacked the fleeing Blood God Sons.
“Pfft, pfft, pfft!”
Several Blood God Sons were directly beheaded, but their heads immediately reattached and they continued to flee.
“The Blood God Sect is really troublesome.” The Imperial Preceptor frowned but did not pursue them.
Because he was afraid of falling into a trap. After all, only Blood God Sons appeared and the person controlling them did not appear.
The Imperial Preceptor’s divine sense expanded, searching nearby, trying to find any hidden disciples of the Blood God Sect, but to no avail..
