Gu Linfeng’s strike was simply too decisive, and the Earth Elemental Dharma King simply didn’t have time to save him. It was estimated that before he died, Saint Hong Yuan did not fail to think that Gu Linfeng would be so bold as to actually kill him.
The Earth Elemental Dharma King trembled with anger, and two streams of ice-cold air, gushing out from inside his nostrils, caused all the cultivators present to shiver.
“Divine Son, killing a Saint of the sect, do you know what kind of offence this is?”Dharma King Di Yuan’s voice however carried endless killing intent, yet he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
Zhang Ruochen flew down and came to the outside of the Guiyuan Divine Palace, standing next to the corpse of Saint Hong Yuan, fearlessly saying, “What offence?”
“A capital offence.”Dharma King Earth Elemental said.
“Oh!”
Zhang Ruochen nodded carelessly and asked out, “So what?”
Zhang Ruochen’s approach made many cultivators feel dissatisfied, even some of the half-saints and saints who had no beef with him felt that he had gone too far.
The Hongyuan Saint only wanted to capture him and lock him up in the Iron Prison Dungeon.
Instead, he had directly killed the Hongyuan Saint.
That was a Saint. How many Saints were there in the entire Blood God Sect? How many Saints did the entire Blood God Sect have? How many resources did they need to spend in order to cultivate a Saints? How could he just kill it?
Every Saint was a giant standing at the top of the cultivation world, able to intimidate other forces.
Even if it was a Sect Leader who wanted to kill a Saint, he had to give a reasonable explanation before he could do so.
“The personality is too tyrannical, if we let him ascend to the Sect Leader position, the Blood God Sect will never have peace.”A Saint realm elder said.
Elder Yuan Gui, one of the six Saint Elders, revealed a furious expression and said, “Killing a Saint is definitely a grave offence, now we in the Elder Pavilion should give an attitude, how about removing Gu Linfeng’s Divine Son Crown and nullifying his entire cultivation?”
Elder Yuan Gui looked over towards Elder Yuan Xing, asking for his opinion.
The six Saint Elders would still be able to remove the Divine Son as long as they were unanimous.
Now it was up to Elder Yuan Xing what his attitude was, after all, in the Elder Pavilion, Elder Yuan Xing had the highest prestige.
Elder Yuan Xing sighed softly, his eyes complicated as he struggled to make a choice.
In fact, he was still quite optimistic about Gu Linfeng, as he saw a glimmer of hope in him. He thought that when Gu Linfeng grew up, he had a chance to lead the Blood God Sect out of its predicament, and even make the Blood God Sect even more glorious.
That was the only ray of hope for the Blood God Sect right now.
But now, it seemed that Gu Linfeng’s character was flawed, too tyrannical, and not quite suitable for a heavy responsibility.
Was that last ray of hope gone?
Just as Elder Yuan Xing was hesitating, Gu Linfeng was laughing out loud and said, “Elder Yuan Gui is so eager to abolish this Divine Son, could it be that he has a better candidate for Divine Son?”Elder Yuan Gui said, “The Blood God Sect can’t tolerate a Divine Son who brutally kills his fellow disciples, a person like you, once he grows up, will only bring disaster to the Blood God Sect.”
“Mutilating fellow disciples? That’s a crime I wouldn’t dare to carry.”Zhang Ruochen shook his head and smiled.
“The facts are right in front of you, and you still dare to argue.”The Earth Elemental Dharma King roared out, no longer wanting to talk nonsense with Zhang Ruochen, ready to personally strike and suppress him.
Many of the half-saints present revealed gloating looks, having angered a Dharma King and a Saint Elder at the same time, today, how could Gu Linfeng still have a chance to live? Zhang Ruochen said calmly, “I don’t see where the truth lies, I only see that you guys are not seeing the truth at all.”
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen crouched down and ripped the robes of the Hongyuan Saint, his fingers groping for the corpse’s back.
“What is he doing, trying to destroy the corpse?”
“You’re stupid! Is there any point in destroying the body now? Did His Divine Highness discover some secret?”
……
The crowd all revealed curious looks as they stared at Saint Hong Yuan’s corpse, wondering what exactly Gu Linfeng was doing.
“Found it!”
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly and struck a finger on top of the corpse’s spine, and with that, the corpse spasmed violently.
With a clatter, a pair of huge bloody wings broke out of the skin on the corpse’s back.
Zhang Ruochen raised his head and stared at the cultivators in the Returning Elemental Divine Palace, smiling, “Everyone can see the truth now, right?”
“Boom!”
All of the top echelons of the entire Blood God Sect were in an uproar as if they were experiencing five thunderbolts, and no one could remain calm, including the Holy Elders, Dharma Kings, and Palace Master level figures.
“The Immortal Blood Clan …… Hong Yuan Saint is actually an infiltrator of the Immortal Blood Clan.”
“Heavens! How is that possible, Sage Hong Yuan is the Criminal Law Elder of the Blood God Sect, how could he be an Immortal Blood Race?
“In charge of the criminal law, but an Immortal Blood Race. Then, how many Blood God Sect disciples must die unjustly at his hands every year? I’m afraid that all of those dead disciples have had their blood drained by him.”
All of the cultivators, all of them, felt fearful.
At the same time, they were incomparably angry, and after secretly thinking about it, they felt that many Blood God Sect disciples had died unjustly in the Penal Law Hall over the years, most likely being turned into blood food for the Hong Yuan Sage.
“Fortunately, His Divine Highness corrected him, otherwise, the Blood God Sect would have suffered even greater losses.”
At this moment, the wind direction changed, and all those cultivators who had originally remained neutral looked at Zhang Ruochen in a different light.
In the sect, no one had realised that Sage Hong Yuan was an infiltrator of the Immortal Blood Clan, yet Gu Linfeng had identified him and got rid of him, did that not speak volumes about Gu Linfeng’s ability?
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was like a knife as he said, “Dharma King Di Yuan, shouldn’t you give everyone an explanation?”
Being questioned by a Paramount Saint, the Earth Elemental Dharma King felt quite irritated. However, he could also see that Gu Linfeng, this brat, was very difficult to deal with, and had to deal with him carefully, never turning over in the gutter.
The Earth Elemental Dharma King suppressed the emotions in his heart and said in a deep voice, “Although Saint Hong Yuan is a disciple of the old man, the old man was unaware of the situation and was also kept in the dark by him. What? Do you suspect that Old Husband is also an infiltrator of the Immortal Blood Clan?”
“It is not that there is no such possibility.”Zhang Ruochen said indifferently.
At this time, Dharma King Hai Mei finally opened his eyes and let out a laugh, “This child Lin Feng is indeed a bit rude, but what he said is not without reason. As far as this Dharma King knows, Sage Hong Yuan was able to become a Penal Law Elder thanks to the support of Dharma King Earth Element. How can Dharma King Earth Elemental get rid of the suspicion?”
“That old pipsqueak, Dharma King Hai Moi, really knows how to pick his moments, to make things difficult for me at this time.”The eyes of the Earth Elemental Dharma King narrowed as he realised that it was not good.
Zhang Ruochen naturally knew that Dharma King Hai Hei was trying to take this opportunity to deal with Dharma King Earth Elemental, and even if he couldn’t put him to death, he still wanted to make him lose his chance to compete for the Sect Leader.
Then add another fire to the fire.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Dharma King Earth Element’s cultivation is profound and unfathomable, and he has spent time with Sage Hong Yuan, there is no reason why he can’t see that Sage Hong Yuan is an Immortal Blood Race, right?”
Dharma King Earth Elemental gave a deep roar and said, “In the entire Blood God Sect, other than you, who can tell that Saint Hong Yuan is an Immortal Blood Race? Speaking of which, this Dharma King would like to ask, with your cultivation level, how were you able to tell the identity of the Hongyuan Sage?”
Zhang Ruochen had indeed learnt some of the secret techniques on top of the Blood Clan’s secret scrolls, however, he had not yet reached the level of being able to identify the Immortal Blood Clan Saint with a single glance.
He had only made his judgement through the previous exchange, seeing some subtle breaks in the Hongyuan Saint.
However, Zhang Ruochen believed that the Undying Blood Race infiltrators present should all be eager to know the question asked by the Earth Elemental Dharma King.
Therefore, he released his spiritual power completely, observing the expressions of every cultivator present, and noting down all the cultivators who looked different.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen said without slowing down, “This Divine Son has indeed grasped a secret method that can identify the lurkers of the Immortal Blood Race.”
“Is that so? I would also like to ask Your Highness the Divine Son to make that secret method public, so that in the future, we will be able to take precautions when we encounter lurkers of the Immortal Blood Clan.”The Earth Elemental Dharma King said in a cold voice.
“That kind of secret method is ……”
Zhang Ruochen purposely dragged out his tone, observing the expressions of the crowd for a long while before saying, “Be sure to observe it with your heart.”
“Observe with your heart?”
What kind of secret method was this?
All of the cultivators present felt that Gu Linfeng was teasing them and not telling the truth at all.
The Immortal Blood Race’s power in the Blood God Sect was huge, and if, for example, Zhang Ruochen really released the Blood Race Secret Scrolls, it was feared that a great war would immediately erupt.
At that time, even if the Blood God Sect was able to remove the Immortal Blood Race, it would still suffer a great deal of damage.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen was still not too sure how huge the Blood God Sect’s Immortal Blood Race was, in case the Immortal Blood Race countered and wiped out the Blood God Sect?
Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to take that big a risk, so he had to use the tactic of boiling a frog in warm water, slowly subtracting the Undying Blood Race’s power step by step.
Elder Yuan Xing finally spoke again, saying, “No matter what, this matter, Dharma King Di Yuan indeed cannot be blamed for this, for the next period of time, I hope that Dharma King Di Yuan will be able to come to the Elder’s Pavilion to stay for a few days. Dharma King, no comments, right?”
Naturally, Dharma King Earth Origin knew that the so-called “staying for a few days” was a disguised imprisonment, not allowing him to come into contact with the outside world.
With the current situation, the Earth Elemental Dharma King simply had no choice but to agree.
“Damn Gu Linfeng, sooner or later, I’ll break you into pieces.”The Earth Elemental Dharma King clenched his fists, hatred in his heart.
Once he was imprisoned in the Elder’s Pavilion, he would also be disqualified from competing for the position of Sect Leader.
Immediately after that, Elder Yuan Xing issued another order, sending ten experts to rush to capture any cultivators who had come into contact with the Hong Yuan Sage, not one of them could be spared.
The chain reaction formed by the exposure of the Hongyuan Saint was definitely a not-so-small earthquake for the Blood God Sect. From this, it could also be seen how enormous the energy of a Saint was.
Zhang Ruochen dug out the Saint Origin from within the Hong Yuan Saint’s body, and at the same time, he put away the Fire Bone Demon Chain and wrapped it around the top of his right wrist.
Afterwards, he looked at the Saint Corpse on the ground and his eyes lit up as he muttered, “It can be used as a material for refining the Blood Suppressing Talisman.”
Zhang Ruochen stretched out a palm and pressed it on top of the Hong Yuan Saint’s corpse, releasing flames that refined the Saint’s corpse into a skeleton.
Zhang Ruochen carried this headless holy skeleton and walked into into the Guiyuan Divine Palace with great strides, “Everyone, don’t freeze, if you want to have a meeting of the elders, you can continue, and if you want to continue sanctioning this Divine Son, you can continue as well.”
Watching Gu Linfeng walk into the meeting place carrying a headless holy bone, Shangguan Xianyan’s glistening white forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, always feeling that Gu Linfeng was warning her, or, was already preparing to kill her.
As Gu Linfeng walked closer and closer, Shangguan Xianyan’s heart jumped into her throat, a pair of jade hands tugged tightly, feeling like her entire body was about to collapse.
Even she didn’t know how she could be so afraid of Gu Linfeng.
Perhaps, Gu Linfeng’s strong killings of Wei Longxing and the Hong Yuan Sage had still had a considerable impact on her, leaving a deep impression of ruthlessness in her mind.
