Chapter 84: Three Years Have Passed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Three years was a long time for ordinary people, but for cultivators, it was only a short period of seclusion cultivation. “Another three years have passed.”
Zhang Chen sighed and looked at the densely packed blood seeds in the blood pool.
After three years of nurturing with a large amount of demon blood, the Blood God Sons in the pool were finally about to take shape.
“Pa, pa, pa, pa…”
Like baby birds breaking out of their shells, the blood seeds shattered one by one, revealing the Blood God Sons that were completely condensed from blood. The current Blood God Sons were only the size of a child and were at the first level of Qi Refinement.
Zhang Chen took out a blood storage bottle and continuously poured blood essence into the blood pool.
The Blood God Sons kept absorbing the blood essence hungrily, and their cultivation began to improve.
Second level of Qi Refinement, third level of Qi Refinement, fourth level of Qi Refinement… until the ninth level of Qi Refinement.
These 100 Blood God Sons at the ninth level of Qi Refinement were the results of Zhang Chen’s three years of hard work.
Together with the original 40 Blood Gods, a total of 140 Blood Gods were more than enough to deal with Wu Chang.
Looking at these Deities, Zhang Chen’s heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. “Wu Chang can’t wait anymore, right? I should be able to receive the notification of the sect mission in the next two days.”
Just as Zhang Chen had guessed, the next day, the people from the Internal Affairs Hall arrived.
“Senior Brother Zhang, this is the mission assigned to you by the sect.” The internal affairs disciple handed over the mission jade slip.
“Got it.” Zhang Chen calmly took the jade slip and checked it.
Zhenluo Kingdom was a kingdom located at the border between the Blood God Sect and the White Bone Hall. The two sects had fought for ownership many times, but they had never been able to confirm it.
Recently, Zhenluo Kingdom had taken the initiative to join the Blood God Sect and seek protection.
The reason was that 50 years ago, an official from Zhenluo Kingdom was executed, but one of them ran away.
The person who escaped had spiritual roots and had joined the White Bone Hall. Now that he had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment realm, he was prepared to take revenge and kill the royal family of Zhenluo Kingdom.
There were also people from the Zhenluo Kingdom’s royal family who had joined the White Bone Hall, so they knew about this matter. However, they were only at the Qi Refinement realm and could not protect themselves.
In order to survive, the King of Zhenluo took the initiative to become a vassal state of the Blood God Sect and pay tribute every year.
What Zhang Chen needed to do was to go to Zhenluo Kingdom to take on the position of Imperial Preceptor for a year and ensure that the royal family of Zhenluo Kingdom would not be destroyed.
At the same time, he would bring the tribute herbs and mortals with spiritual roots back to the sect.
This assignment was very simple. The problem was that it would last for a year.
Wu Chang was worried that Hong Longguang and Gu Pingshan would interfere, so he chose this mission that would take a year for Zhang Chen.
Because it was impossible for the two of them to leave the sect and protect Zhang Chen for a year.
Without the obstruction of other ninth level Foundation Establishment cultivators, Wu Chang could easily kill a second level Foundation Establishment cultivator.
As long as he killed Zhang Chen, who would offend him, who was at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm, for a dead person?
“This mission must be completed. Otherwise, you will be severely punished by the sect. Furthermore, the mission is urgent. Senior Brother, please set off within three days.” After the Internal Affairs disciple finished speaking, he bowed and left.
“What a painstaking effort! I think someone has been waiting for a long time. Don’t let him wait any longer.”
Zhang Chen put away the mission jade slip and smiled. He transformed into a blood light and flew towards the Internal Affairs Hall. Wu Chang wanted to deal with him and vice versa.
Soon, Wu Chang received the news.
“Senior Brother Wu, Zhang Chen has already left the sect.”
“Alright! I’ve waited for three years. This day has finally come!” Wu Chang smiled sinisterly and headed to the Internal Affairs Hall.
He had also arranged a mission for himself to leave the sect for a year. During the year, he could find an opportunity to attack Zhang Chen at any time.
At the same time, Hong Longguang and Gu Pingshan also received news that Zhang Chen had left the sect.
Hong Longguang was a little surprised. “Seventh Junior Brother didn’t come to me for help? Does he have reservations about me too?”
On the other side, Gu Pingshan felt the same. “Zhang Chen didn’t come to ask for my help. Isn’t he afraid that Wu Chang will kill him?”
Then, the two of them inquired about Zhang Chen’s mission this time.
After learning that the mission required a year, they instantly understood Wu Chang’s thoughts and intentions.
Hong Longguang shook his head helplessly and sighed. “If Zhang Chen had come to me for help earlier, with my reputation, I might have been able to change the mission and protect him.
“Unfortunately, it’s too late now. I hope Zhang Chen has a life-saving method and can survive from Wu Chang’s hands. Otherwise, the channel to exchange demon blood for blood essence will be gone.”
Gu Pingshan, who was in the Pill Pavilion, thought so too.
After leaving the sect, Zhang Chen flew unhurriedly towards Zhenluo Kingdom.
Wu Chang was not in a hurry to attack because he did not know if Hong Longguang and Gu Pingshan were following behind him.
He had already waited for three years, so this little time was not a big deal.
Four days later, Zhang Chen arrived at the capital of Zhenluo Kingdom.
Above the palace, Zhang Chen stood in the void and used his magical powers to spread his voice. “I’m a direct disciple of the Blood God Sect. Where is the King of Zhenluo?”
“Look, there’s someone in the sky!” “This… this is an immortal!”
“What does the immortal want with the king?”
The people in the palace looked up and discussed.
The King of Zhenluo did not tell anyone that the royal family was in danger and had joined the Blood God Sect to prevent people from worrying after hearing about it.
As long as the people from the Blood God Sect arrived, everything would be fine.
The existence of immortals could suppress the thoughts of most people.
Soon, a fat middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes walked out surrounded by a group of people.
“I am King Zhenluo. Greetings, Immortal Envoy of the Blood God Sect.” King Zhenluo bowed excitedly.
Ever since he heard that the direct disciples of the White Bone Hall wanted to take revenge and kill all the royal bloodlines, he had been worried and afraid all day long, hoping that the people from the Blood God Sect would arrive early. Now that the people from the Blood God Sect had arrived, he could finally sleep
Zhang Chen landed in front of the king and said calmly, “I will ensure that your royal family is not destroyed for a year.”
“I’ll leave the safety of the royal family to you, Immortal Envoy.” King Zhenluo tried to please him respectfully.
“I’ve already asked someone to prepare a banquet to welcome you, Immortal Envoy. Please come this way.”
“There’s no need. Just arrange a quiet residence for me.” Zhang Chen waved his hand and refused.
“Follow me, Immortal Envoy.” The king personally led the way and they arrived at an extremely luxurious palace.
“Are you satisfied with this place? Do you want to see the other palaces?” Zhang Chen said calmly, “This is it. His Majesty is busy with work, so you don’t have to accompany me.”
“Alright, if you need anything, feel free to instruct the palace maids and eunuchs outside to do it.”
Seeing Zhang Chen’s cold expression, the king left with his guards.
After the king left, Zhang Chen willed dozens of blood shadows to fly out of his body and disperse into the palace to hide.
Without a formation, it was too consuming to constantly emit divine thoughts. He could only use the Blood God Sons as his eyes and ears to guard against Wu Chang and the personal disciples of the White Bone Hall.
The next day, King Zhen Luo gathered the ministers and announced that he would be affiliated with the Blood God Sect from now on and appoint Zhang Chen as the Imperial Preceptor.
“Your Majesty, our Zhenluo Kingdom is in a special position and can benefit from both sides. Why do we have to affiliate with the Blood God Sect?” Many ministers expressed their confusion.
“I’ve made up my mind. The immortal envoy from the Blood God Sect has arrived. There’s no possibility of change.” King Zhenluo’s attitude was unyielding. He did not explain the reason, afraid that some ministers and the direct disciples of the White Bone Hall would cooperate from the outside..
