Chapter 2023: Something Big Happens in the Sect

Du Mosheng looked down at Xingluo City, his eyes full of despisement. Everyone in Xingluo City was akin to an ant in his eyes.

He poked out his tongue and gently licked his lips. “My demonic technique will get a further boost if I can drink the blood of everyone in this city,” he whispered.

The key to practice the Demonic God Devourer Portrait was to drink the blood of living beings. The more he drank, the more powerful his demonic technique would be.

Du Mosheng’s cultivation base had been stuck at the pinnacle of the Precept Domain for a long time. He was accumulating his strength to overcome the bottleneck and attain the realm of Heaven’s Reach.

His cultivation base might still be in the Precept Domain, but his actual strength was not any weaker than some Heaven’s Reach powerhouses.

“First thing first; I will get rid of the two Saint Kings from the Sect of the Blood God.” Du Mosheng cast his eyes on the Saint King Que Palace.

There were only a few Saint King powerhouses in the entire Xingluo City. As soon as he got rid of them, he could do whatever he wanted in Xingluo City.

The guardian formation of the Saint King Que Palace had been activated. The golden sacred light had enveloped the entire palace, isolating it from the outside world.

“What happened?” asked Shangguan Yong in a low voice as he looked at Shangguan Xianyan and Elder Yuan Zhou.

Elder Yuan Zhou was clutching his chest, his body swaying. Apparently, he was injured.

Shangguan Xianyan reached out her hand to support Elder Yuan Zhou. “Patriarch, the Blackdemon Realm has joined with many evil forces to besiege the Sect of the Blood God. Elder Yuan Zhou and I were lucky to escape, but we were pursued by Du Mosheng from the Darkdemon Realm. Now Du Mosheng is outside. Only the arch patriarch can defeat him.”

Before the revival of the Kunlun Realm, Shangguan Que was already a spiritual-power Saint King. He was more powerful than the leaders of the four Confucius schools. His current strength was self-evident.

Otherwise, Shangguan Xianyan and Elder Yuan Zhou would not choose to flee back to the Saint King Que Palace.

Shangguan Yong’s expression sank all of a sudden.

The Blackdemon Realm was horrible. The Sect of the Blood God could fall, and even the Shangguan family would be wiped out if they were not careful.

“I will ask for the arch patriarch immediately.” Shangguan Yong immediately decided so.

He could sense the terrifying aura exuding from Du Mosheng, someone whom he could never defeat.

The Shangguan family had reached a critical juncture; it was a matter of life and death. He had no choice but to alert Shangguan Que.

“Shangguan Que, the arch patriarch of the Shangguan family, is very mysterious. We must not underestimate his strength. Be careful, my lord.”

A One-Step Saint King bowed to Du Mosheng in respect.

There are three others next to this One-Step Saint King. All of them were in Sainthood.

“Shangguan Que? I have heard of him. He has been hiding in his hole for hundreds of years. Who knows, he might have died from old age a long time ago. Besides, with my level of strength, why should I be afraid of him?”

“Since the Shangguan family is related to the Sect of the Blood God, they should be wiped out together and used as the blood for my demonic technique cultivation.” Du Mosheng sneered.

For the native cultivators in the Kunlun Realm, Du Mosheng saw none of them as his match. His thinking was that none of these cultivators was powerful enough worthy of his attention.

Zhang Ruochen locked his eyes on the four Saint-level cultivators beside Du Mosheng, his eyes gradually turning frosty. “Lizi Temple’s Master Xu Jie and Second Temple Master Mo Qianqiu, Hongzi Temple’s Master Jiang Tianhe, and the old man King Haiming—how dare they collude with the Darkdemon Realm. They are a bunch of traitors.”

Zhang Ruochen could not be more familiar with these four people, as they were all big shots who wielded eminent authority in the Sect of the Blood God.

In the old days, the Darkdemon Realm was a vassal to the Sect of the Blood God. Even the powerful Demon Emperor and Queen had to bow down to the Sect of the Blood God. At that time, the Sect of the Blood God was extremely powerful, subjugating the Blackdemon Realm for tens of thousands of years.

In the eyes of the powerhouses of the Sect of the Blood God, the Blackdemon Realm was just a vassal force, as if the servant of the sect. The leader of the sect could kill any or all of the beings in the Blackdemon Realm at will.

But now, the king of the Sect of the Blood God and the Shizi Temple’s master were bowing to the cultivators from the Blackdemon Realm. How ironic.

“Junior Brother, are you thinking of intervening in the things between the Sect of the Blood God and the Blackdemon Realm?” asked Bao Lie.

Zhang Ruochen exhaled, calming himself down as much as possible. “Fifth Brother, I still have another identity, which is that I am the current leader of the Sect of the Blood God.”

“The current leader? Junior Brother, how come you are related to the Sect of the Blood God?” asked Bao Lie asked in surprise.

“It is a long story. I will tell you all slowly when I have the time. Coming up next, I’m afraid there will be a tough battle to fight,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Judging from the current situation, Shangguan Xianyan and Elder Yuan Zhou fleeing back to the Shangguan family in a hurry, the pursuance of the powerhouses of the Darkdemon Realm after them, and the following of four Saint Kings of the Sect of the Blood God, something must have happened in the sect.

As the leader of the Sect of the Blood God, there was a causal connection between the two. How could Zhang Ruochen stay out of the matter as the leader of the sect?

Above Xingluo City, Du Mosheng stepped out and came outside the Saint King Que Palace.

He raised his hand and casually performed a finger strike.

A horrible demonic light shot out and hit the guardian array of the Saint King Que Palace.

Boom!

The guardian array appeared to be too fragile in the face of the demonic attack. It shattered in an instant.

“My lord’s demonic technique is the best in the world. Shangguan, drag yourself out of the house and kneel to welcome the lord, or wait for death to come upon you all!” Lizi Temple’s master Jiang Tianhe shouted.

He was a burly figure with dark skin, specializing in the demonic techniques in the Demonstone Engravings. His body exuded an extremely powerful demonic energy.

He thought that no way the Sect of the Blood God could withstand the attack of the Blackdemon Realm. Destruction was almost inevitable. Since this was the case, it was better to choose a stronger backing, which was also practicing the demonic techniques in the Demonstone Engravings. Defecting to the Darkdemon Realm was the best option.

“Jiang Tianhe, you traitor! How dare you betray the sect? I will make sure it doesn’t end well for you!” Elder Yuan Zhou shouted in anger.

Extreme anger caused Elder Yuan Zhou to burp up another mouthful of blood. He was becoming breathless.

Jiang Tianhe couldn’t care less. Instead, he was self-justifying. “That is the way of the world, Elder Yuan Zhou. If you keep being stubborn, death is the only way for you.”

“Jiang Tianhe, aren’t you afraid of the sect leader? He will grind your treacherous bones to dust when he returns!” Shangguan Xianyan gritted her teeth.

“The sect leader? Are you talking about Zhang Ruochen? He is indeed strong. Unfortunately, he is also naïve at the same time by messing with the Heavenly Realm. Now Zhou Yu from the Heavenly Realm and Ming from the Infernal Court want you dead. Zhang Ruochen is now scrambling to save his a**. I am afraid that he is not available at the moment as he has probably gone into hiding.”

Just like Jiang Tianhe, this was the view that many people shared in the outside world. After all, both Zhou Yu and Ming were too powerful for even Zhang Ruochen.

And since the battle outside the Peacock Manor was over, there was no news of Zhang Ruochen. People could not help but suspect that he must have been scared the heck out of him and had gone into hiding to evade Zhou Yu and Ming’s pursuit.
