  Long Chen didn’t say a word. He directly pressed a finger against Shui Qingfeng’s forehead. His Spiritual Strength erupted into Shui Qingfeng’s mind-sea.

  Shui Qingfeng’s body quivered, and then his eyes became distant. The other three monastery heads were horrified. Long Chen had directly used a soulsearch without saying anything.

  But they didn’t dare say anything. They were aware of many things, and now that the devil king Long Chen had returned, they didn’t dare to go against him.

  “Yu Deshui, Zhao Fu, Li Wenxiao, Jiang Haoran…” Long Chen listed off seventeen names, causing the three monastery heads’ hearts to pound. “Bring them all here.”

  “I…” The three of them were shocked. Although those people weren’t monastery heads, they possessed extremely high status in the Xuantian Dao Sect. Some of them were even closely related by blood to Ouyang Qiuyu.

  “There’s no need for the three of you to do it. Guo Ran, Yue Zifeng, go with them and handle it,” said Long Chen coldly.

  The three of them were helpless. Although Long Chen was just a disciple who had only recently entered Sea Expansion, and he also didn’t possess an official post or status, they didn’t dare to speak. They felt that if they did say something, Long Chen would directly kill them. They quickly led Guo Ran and Yue Zifeng away.

  The reason Long Chen wanted them dead was because they had participated in this matter. He didn’t care what their goal was, but since they had clearly known that this would harm Shui Wuhen, he had decided they could disappear from this world forever.

  The most infuriating thing to him was that two of those people were from the law enforcement hall. They had both been bought by Shui Qingfeng.

  When Ouyang Qiuyu had left, Shui Wuhen had been unconscious from her heavy injuries. She had needed to rest her soul. Ouyang Qiuyu knew about the unending battles between the four families, so she had intentionally left some people to look after her. She had left behind four of the Shui family’s monastery heads to look after the Xuantian Dao Sect.

  She would never have imagined that Shui Qingfeng would actually be so deranged as to kill Shui Wuhen. He foolishly thought that once Shui Wuhen was dead, he would become the next Shui family head.

  For safety purposes, he had pulled in a large group of people. Using both threats and bribes, he had pulled them to his side. This way, once Shui Wuhen died, they could all testify that they had done their best, but Shui Wuhen’s illness had suddenly taken a turn for the worse and she had died.

  The three monastery heads actually had known about this matter. They hadn’t been willing to go along with it, but they also hadn’t dared to go against Shui Qingfeng. It was precisely because they hadn’t participated that they could keep their lives now.

  “It’s done.”

  In less than an incense stick’s worth of time, Guo Ran and the others returned. The three monastery heads were shocked.

  Amongst the people Long Chen had listed, nine had been Sea Expansion experts. But they had been killed by a wave of the hand by Guo Ran. They probably hadn’t even understood what was happening before they were killed.

  Furthermore, when Guo Ran killed people, he was frighteningly calm. It was like he was just killing ants. There was no change in his expression at all.

  Long Chen nodded and continued looking at Shui Wuhen. The medicinal energy was beginning to activate.

  Shui Qingfeng had been extremely sinister. He had added soul poison into her medicine.

  In the state where her soul was damaged, she needed slow nourishment. Although that poison’s effect was extremely slow, it exhausted all her Spiritual Strength. Once she died, there would have been no way to find out what had been used.

  “Long… Chen…”

  Suddenly, Shui Wuhen opened her eyes. Her originally bright eyes were dark now, and her voice was harsh to the ears.

  “Big sister, I’m here!” Long Chen hastily held her hand.

  “You’re back… Good… I… was worried about you…” A gratified expression appeared in her eyes. Her face twitched as if she was trying to smile, but with her corpse-like face, there was no way to do so.

  Seeing that Shui Wuhen had escaped death, Long Chen sighed with relief and almost teared up. Shui Wuhen had always looked after him like she was his big sister. Although she would occasionally act fierce and reprimand him, it was all for his own good.

  “Big sister was useless… the Xuantian Dao Sect was shamed… I failed the sect master’s mission…” Tears leaked out of Shui Wuhen’s eyes. She felt extremely guilty for the Xuantian Dao Sect’s heavy losses.

  “Big sister, it’s fine. This enmity is something I’ll repay for you. Just peacefully heal. You’re tired and sleepy. When you wake up, everything will be fine,” said Long Chen softly. He glanced toward Meng Qi.

  She immediately understood and changed her Spiritual Strength. Shui Wuhen immediately felt a bout of sleepiness and fell into a deep slumber.

  “Get me a map and tell me where the sect master is.”

  A monastery head immediately took out a map. Long Chen quickly saw his target. “I’m leaving my big sister with you. If something happens to her, don’t even think about living. When I kill people, I don’t need to give any reason.”

  After saying that, Long Chen and the others jumped onto the Redeye Sacred Blood Phoenix, flying northwards. Although he was a bit worried about Shui Wuhen, he knew that with his medicinal pill and the replenishment of Meng Qi’s Spiritual Strength, she would quickly wake up.

  Once she was awake, although she wouldn’t have her peak power, her safety would be guaranteed. Furthermore, he was also sure that those three wouldn’t dare to do anything to Shui Wuhen. They didn’t have the guts, otherwise, they would have been on the same side as Shui Qingfeng. It was precisely because they didn’t have any guts that they hadn’t participated in that matter.

  Right now, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s main power was attacking the Corrupt path’s stronghold, and the disciples had been transported to a secret location. The current Xuantian Dao Sect was almost an empty city. The Corrupt path’s power and attention were also concentrated on their strongholds, so the chance of them attacking the Xuantian Dao Sect was essentially zero.

  “Looking at the map, it seems it’ll take around a day of flying. There aren’t any spatial walls this time, so it’ll be a calm journey. Don’t waste this time. Everyone, start refining the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood I’ve given you. It shouldn’t be anything hard for you. Work hard, because we’re going to deal a vicious blow this time,” said Long Chen.

  Long Chen had given a drop of the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood to each one of them before. On their way back, the spatial walls had been too disruptive to refine it. But now that there were no more disruptions, they couldn’t waste any more time. They all took out a drop of violet blood.

  In truth, the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood was a kind of guiding medicine. Once experts refined it, it would excavate a person’s potential, bringing out their greatest power.

  For example, a cultivator might only possess a trace of earth energy that was normally useless. In this case, cultivating any earth attribute Battle Skill would be very difficult. But once they refined the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood, that trace of energy would become even purer, and they would become a true earth attribute cultivator.

  Everyone began refining the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood. There was no reaction when it entered their bodies, and it quickly spread throughout every inch of them.

  The first one to cause a reaction was Tang Wan-er. Her runes revolved around her. She was a powerful wind attribute cultivator, and the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood had only just entered her body when it merged with her wind energy.

  Practically invisible lines appeared on Tang Wan-er’s runes. The Ten Thousand Spirit Blood was purifying her wind energy, and it was also changing it. Tang Wan-er originally possessed practically no Spirit Blood, but she gradually became able to control Spirit Blood power.

  It was like a se
ed had landed in fertile soil and begun to germinate. From now on, Tang Wan-er would become an expert in command of Spirit Blood, and an extremely terrifying wind attribute Spirit Blood at that. Her bloodline power would make her even stronger.

  Following her, Meng Qi, Yue Zifeng, Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and Guo Ran all entered similar states.

  There was no reaction after Wilde consumed the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood. He just foolishly looked at Long Chen.

  Long Chen just smiled slightly. He had long since been prepared for this result. It wasn’t strange. Wilde’s body was just too special.

  Long Chen looked into the distance, and killing intent surfaced in his eyes. It was time to flip the heavens.

  Chapter 930 The Slaughter Begins

  “Kill!”

  Blood splashed. Furious roars rang out. In front of thousands of Corrupt experts, the Dragonblood warriors were still releasing awe-inspiring killing intent.

  The Dragonblood warriors were all at the peak of Xiantian. On a thousand-mile battlefield, they were on the right wing, surrounded by a mass of Corrupt experts. Over half of these Corrupt experts had reached Sea Expansion. The intense battle dyed the yellow ground red.

  “We can’t continue like this! Fuck that Zhou bastard, he intentionally left us here to draw the majority of their forces! If this continues, we won’t be able to hold on!” roared one of the Dragonblood Legion’s squad leaders.

  The Dragonblood Legion had been assigned to the right wing of the battlefield during the strategy meeting. Only once the battle began did they find out that the majority of their enemies’ power was concentrated on them.

  At the front of the battlefield, Ouyang Qiuyu was fighting two of the Corrupt path’s top experts. The void rumbled around them, making it so the others couldn’t see their battle clearly.

  This was their third battle against this stronghold. The previous two times, the Righteous path had been at an advantage. But this time, the Corrupt path had clearly sent reinforcements.

  The Xuantian Dao Sect’s experts were all here along with some smaller sects’ experts. That was an extremely strong force.

  There was a group of Sea Expansion experts blocking the majority of the other Sea Expansion elites from the Corrupt path, but the Corrupt path just had too many Sea Expansion experts. As a result, quite a few of them managed to get by and attack the Dragonblood Legion.

  What shocked everyone was that these peak Xiantian warriors were actually able to handle ten times their number, even when half of those enemies were Sea Expansion experts.

  Although they weren’t elite Sea Expansion experts, they still weren’t things that Xiantian disciples should have been able to handle, especially not in a one against ten situation.

  However, this kind of intense battle was too exhausting. The Dragonblood warriors hadn’t expanded their seas, so their spiritual yuan was limited. They couldn’t keep up with this intensity forever. After a day and night of fighting, their energy was starting to flag. Their situation was growing desperate.

  “Talking about that now is useless. Boss should be arriving soon, so just endure it. We’ll settle our debts then,” said another squad leader.

  In the back of the battlefield was the Zhou family’s genius commander who had come up with the troop distribution. But even if the Zhou family was trying to intentionally harm them, they couldn’t do anything about it now. Once their line buckled, the people behind them would be doomed. The entire army would be implicated, so they could only clench their teeth and endure.

  “Fall back into the arched slaughter formation! Your main goal isn’t to kill your enemies, but to survive!” shouted a squad leader.

  He saw that they were still able to fight against their enemies. But they wouldn’t be able to keep it up for much longer.

  “Bastards, you have to form a barrier at the front! Hold the line, or the enemies will get by!” shouted a person standing at the back of the troops.

  That was the genius commander from the Zhou family. He had been in command of multiple Righteous and Corrupt battles and had won despite many setbacks. He had plenty of experience, so he had naturally become the commander.

  “Fuck your mother, Zhou idiot, just wait until this is over!” cursed the squad leader. He ignored his orders, having everyone form a protective arc formation. They changed from offense to defense, making sure they could temporarily survive.

  He couldn’t care too much anymore. The Dragonblood Legion’s warriors were all his brothers, and their lives were more important to him than his own. He wouldn’t allow any of them to fall.

  “Bastard, you dare to ignore orders! Just wait-”

  Halfway through his furious roar, a golden light shot through his body and he exploded.

  That light hadn’t come from the front, but from behind. In other words, it had come from the side of the Xuantian Dao Sect.

  “Let’s not wait. We’re too busy to listen to your long-windedness.” An icy voice rang throughout the battlefield.

  “Boss!” Hearing that voice, the Dragonblood warriors immediately felt their blood heat up. That voice was too familiar, and they cheered, their morale surging.

  Long Chen and the others appeared in the air. With his black robes billowing, it was like the arrival of a death god.

  “Everyone, don’t panic. An idiot commander’s death signifies that victory is near!” said Long Chen lightly, calming the uproar caused by the death of their commander.

  All the experts from the Xuantian Dao Sect were affected by Long Chen’s arrival. He was the leader of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s junior generation, and his prestige was extremely high. In the younger generation, his prestige might even surpass the sect master.

  “Good job, brothers.” Long Chen gave the Dragonblood warriors a thumbs-up. To remain undefeated one against ten gratified him.

  “Leave the rest to us. Brothers, just watch the show!” Guo Ran was the first to charge out, a flashy golden crossbow in his hands.

  The crossbow shook and released golden rays that exploded amongst their enemies. The Corrupt experts in the middle of attacking the Dragonblood warriors were blown up in large clumps.

  “Heavens!”

  The Dragonblood warriors’ jaws dropped. The fierce Corrupt experts that they had had such difficulty with were nothing in front of Guo Ran. With just ten arrows, hundreds of them were killed.

  Guo Ran’s awe-inspiring power shook the entire battlefield. He immediately drew everyone’s attention. He loudly chanted, “I swept through the four seas, crossed a thousand mountains, caused huge billows in heaven and earth, slaughtered demons, eliminated devils, plucked the stars and moon. If you want a chivalrous hero, you can come find- aiya!”

  Before Guo Ran could report his name, he was sent flying into the Corrupt path’s army by Long Chen. He couldn’t stand him right now.

  Everyone jumped in fright. Because of Long Chen, Guo Ran had flown right into the battle of the elite Sea Expansion experts.

  “Don’t just watch. You all have important work to do.” Long Chen returned to the Dragonblood warriors, ignoring Guo Ran’s plight.

  “Great Soul Barrier!”

  Meng Qi formed hand seals, and a huge spiritual barrier enveloped them. People outside were only able to see a curtain of light around them, but they were unable to see inside.

  Guo Ran grumbled, “Why couldn’t you just let me finish the last three words? Boss, I wasn’t done yet!”

  “Kill!”

  The Corrupt experts were first startled at a person suddenly being kicked into their midst, but then they quickly recovered and attacked.

  “Kill your mother!” raged Guo Ran. His fury from having his poser act interrupted now fell onto the Corrupt experts in front of him. Two golden sabers appeared in his hands, and he hacked the person shouting in two.

  “I, Guo Ran, am right here! Whoever dares can come at me!”

  With his two sabers dancing in the air, Guo Ran started a slaughter. The two sabers were a
pair of Treasure items he had obtained within the Immemorial Path. Paired weapons on the level of a Treasure item were extremely rare. After he had added them to his set of armor, they hadn’t even been damaged during the huge battle in the Immemorial Path. Thus, it could be seen just how powerful they were.

  Now that they were just facing Corrupt experts who at most possessed low grade Treasure items, he cut through any resistance easily.

  In an instant, over ten of the Corrupt path’s Sea Expansion experts were killed, shocking them. They hastily retreated.

  Looking at the armored monstrosity that was Guo Ran, the Xuantian Dao Sect and the Righteous path’s experts were all shocked.

  “The vanguard, hold the line and slowly retreat!” Long Chen’s voice suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield. He appeared out of the spiritual barrier, looking down on the entire field.

  The battlefield contained tens of thousands of experts. But when he compared it to the battle fought in the Immemorial Path, Long Chen felt like it was nothing more than child’s play.

  Long Chen wanted all the Righteous path’s people to retreat from the battle, as they were too weak. There were even Meridian Opening disciples fighting on their side.

  Just now, he had gathered the Dragonblood Legion and distributed the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood, Divine Mortal Molting Elixir, Heavenly Dao Fruits, and Sea Expanding Pills to them all.

  They were to absorb the first three things as fast as possible and then get ready to attack Sea Expansion.

  Of course, those treasures were too important, and so he had Meng Qi summon a barrier to block other people’s vision.

  He watched as Guo Ran’s addition to the battlefield caused the whole battle to become imbalanced. Just on his own, he drew all the experts’ attention.

  Many of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s monastery heads were freed up and went to help other squads that were in a dangerous situation. The tempo of the battle slowed down quite a bit.

  “Those at Xiantian and below, retreat out of the battle!” shouted Long Chen.

  “What?” The Xuantian Dao Set’s experts couldn’t believe their ears. If all Xiantian experts and below left, then they would only have a few hundred people left on the battlefield.
