At night, the mountain peak where the Elder Pavilion was located was dotted with lights and stars, and the more they reached the peak, the denser and brighter the lights became.
Elder Yuan Gui stood inside a purple pavilion below the bamboo forest, his hands behind his back as he heard the report from a black-clothed cultivator, an old face that became increasingly grim.
In just two days, more than twenty Immortal Blood Race’s Half-Saints had been removed in a row, how could Elder Yuan Gui not be angry?
“Who on earth, how did he recognise the disguise of the Immortal Blood Race? Gu Linfeng?”
There was a cold aura on Elder Yuan Gui’s body that surged out, making giggling sounds in the night.
A layer of white frost covered the tops of the bamboo leaves around them.
Not long ago, Gu Linfeng had been able to recognise the disguise of the Hongyuan Sage, and had obviously mastered a special secret technique, so Elder Yuan Gui was the first to think of him.
The black-clothed cultivator’s voice, which appeared rather hoarse, said, ”According to the news sent back by Elder Yuan Zhou, the injuries on Gu Linfeng’s body simply won’t heal without a month or two. This Saint believes that the recent series of events should be a retaliatory action unfolded by the Dharma King of the Sea Underworld.”
In their opinion, even Gu Linfeng had mastered the secret method of recognising the disguises of the Immortal Blood Clan, and as his master-ancestor, the Sea Underworld Dharma King must have mastered it even more profoundly.
The most important point was that Gu Linfeng had only passed through the first Paramount Sacred Tribulation, and deep down, they were actually a bit contemptuous, not treating Gu Linfeng as an opponent worth taking seriously.
“Sea Underworld Dharma King?”
Elder Yuan Gui revealed a thoughtful expression and said, “Since Dharma King Hai Moi already knew that a large number of Immortal Blood Clans lurked in the Blood God Sect, why didn’t he directly announce it, but instead acted alone?”
The black-clothed cultivator said, “The fact that Dharma King Hai Hei Moi is bent on becoming the new Sect Leader might have something to do with this.”
“Old me understands somewhat! Dharma King Haixian is trying to hide in the shadows and remove all of the Undying Blood Clan, waiting until the time is ripe to make this matter public. In this way, his prestige in the Blood God Sect will definitely reach its peak, and he will naturally be the perfect candidate for Sect Leader.”Elder Yuan Gui’s eyes became increasingly gloomy.
How great a feat was it to clear out the Immortal Blood Clan?
If, indeed, Venerable Lord Hai Mei had done this, the entire Blood God Sect’s cultivators would see him as a saviour, and it would be only natural to worship him as Sect Leader.
Elder Yuan Gui’s ten fingers, grew ten sharp blood claws and said, ”Dharma King Hai Hei wants to purge us of the Immortal Blood Clan, why would I not want to break him into pieces? Old me is going to set up a killing game now to lure him into the net.”
……
…………
In the Subterranean Dragon Hall, Zhang Ruochen was also planning and arranging.
Zhang Ruochen said, “We killed twenty to thirty Immortal Blood Race Half-Saints in a row, so we must have already alerted some of the Immortal Blood Race’s great figures. Then next, they will surely suspect the Sea Underworld Dharma King and will try to lure the Sea Underworld Dharma King out to get rid of him. Of course, this is also an opportunity for us.”
Elder Yuan Zhou was a little impatient and said, “Follow me, ascend to the Elder Pavilion and directly kill the Earth Elemental Dharma King, why bother?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “That big shot from the Immortal Blood Race is definitely a member of the Elder Pavilion, most likely a Saint Elder. If we don’t lure this person away, we won’t be able to kill the Earth Elemental Dharma King at all.”
There was a Saint Elder level figure who was an infiltrator of the Immortal Blood Clan?
Elder Yuan Zhou revealed a thoughtful expression and had some guesses in his heart, however, he could not be certain.
Eventually, Elder Yuan Zhou asked, “How can we lure that person away?”
Zhang Ruochen laughed, “Didn’t I already say just now that they want to get rid of the Sea Underworld Dharma King, and it’s an opportunity for us.”
“How?”
Zhang Ruochen continued, “We can create a Sea Underworld Dharma King to come out and lure that Immortal Blood Race bigwig in the Elder Pavilion over there, and in this way, we will also have a chance to kill the Earth Elemental Dharma King.”
Shangguan Xianyan was quite curious, a puzzled look in her beautiful eyes as she said, “Create a Sea Underworld Dharma King?”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze fixed on Elder Yuan Zhou and said, “Isn’t Elder Yuan Zhou the best candidate, having him disguised as a Sea Underworld Dharma King is enough to lure the snake out of the hole.”
Elder Yuan Zhou hemmed and hawed and said, “It’s not that I’m looking down on you, with your cultivation, even if the Earth Elemental Dharma King has already been confined, you won’t be able to kill him. To kill the Earth Elemental Dharma King, it must be done by the old me personally. How about, you go and disguise yourself as the Sea Meditation Dharma King?”
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Doesn’t your old man want to know who the Undying Blood Race infiltrator in the Elder’s Pavilion really is?”
Hearing this, Elder Yuan Zhou was slightly moved, revealing a pensive expression.
The six Saint Elders of the Blood God Sect had been friends for hundreds of years, in fact, Elder Yuan Zhou did not believe at all that there was an Undying Blood Race infiltrator among the other five Saint Elders.
However, with the facts in front of him, there was no room for him to disbelieve.
After a long time, Elder Yuan Zhou seriously said, ”Fine, I will disguise myself as the Sea Underworld Dharma King, so I would like to see, who exactly is that person? However, with your strength, it’s impossible to kill the Earthly Yuan Dharma King, did the Supreme Elder give you some powerful battle weapon?”
“Indeed, he gave me a powerful treasure.”Zhang Ruochen said.
“Alright! If, indeed, you were able to kill the Earth Elemental Dharma King, you have definitely dealt a heavy blow to the Immortal Blood Clan. Moreover, with this battle achievement, your fame and prestige will say not surely be able to surpass the Nine Realm Sons and become one of the young leaders of the Kunlun Realm in the last hundred years.”
Elder Yuan Zhou appeared preoccupied, and after leaving an elder token behind, he travelled outside the Subterranean Dragon Hall.
“Your elder had better be careful, the Immortal Blood Clan has definitely set up a killing scheme.”Zhang Ruochen reminded.
Elder Yuan Zhou had already walked out of the Submerged Dragon Hall, and only a cold voice travelled back, saying, “I don’t know how many great storms I’ve experienced in my life, and I still need to be reminded by you brat?”
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly as he struck out a Holy Qi and rolled up Elder Yuan Zhou’s token, cupping it in his hand and looking at it, gradually putting away his smile as his face became more and more serious.
Killing the Earth Elemental Dharma King was definitely not a small matter, whether it was successful or not, the entire Blood God Sect would be shaken by it.
Once it succeeded, the entire Central Region of the Nine States would be shaken.
Of course, the cultivation level of the Earth Elemental Dharma King was extremely high and deep, and even if the Blood Moon Ghost King was invited out, Zhang Ruochen did not have a ten percent certainty that he would be able to succeed.
The same would be true if Elder Yuan Zhou were to make a move instead.
In the Elders’ Pavilion, a black-clothed cultivator stood in front of Elder Yuan Zhou, a golden stern ghost mask on his face, and said, “Just now, news has come in that the Spirit Skull Sage has spotted the traces left behind by the Sea Underworld Dharma King, near the killing game that we have set up.”
“It seems that the Sea Underworld Dharma King has already taken the bait, this time, I will personally take action, and definitely not let this old piker escape again.”
Elder Yuan Gui was filled with hatred towards the Sea Underworld Dharma King, and couldn’t wait to take his life, and as he was leaving, he commanded, saying, “You stay in the Elder’s Pavilion, and once there is a change of events, immediately send a message to me.”
“Hm.”
The cultivator wearing the golden stern ghost mask answered, and then, stealing into the darkness, disappeared without a trace.
Below the peak where the Elder’s Pavilion was located, Zhang Ruochen stood in the swaying bamboo forest, gazing at the stars in the sky above through the cracks in the bamboo leaves, and said, “I sensed a powerful aura rushing out of the Elder’s Pavilion, and it’s moving away in a hurry. That venomous snake lurking in the Elder’s Pavilion has already come out of its hole.”
Qing Mo stood behind Zhang Ruochen and inclined her head, saying, “Did it? How come I didn’t sense anything?”
“That’s because, your spiritual power isn’t strong enough.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Qing Mo pouted her lips and hummed softly, clearly somewhat unconvinced.
She said, “There are two Saint Elders in the Elder Pavilion, even if you lured one away, there is still another one guarding there, you still can’t kill the Earth Elemental Dharma King.”
“The dangerous one has already left, and the one that isn’t dangerous is just as good to deal with.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at Qing Mo’s small, delicate face and smiled, “In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I think you should go and lure him away.”
Qing Mo was taken aback and said, “Are you crazy? Letting me go and lure away a Saint Elder, I …… am not that strong yet, what if I get killed?”
Qing Mo’s face went white with fear and kept moving backwards.
“Didn’t I already say that the dangerous one, the Saint Elder, has already left and the remaining one is not dangerous.”Zhang Ruochen said.
“I don’t! How can it not be dangerous, what if I’m seen by him …… no …… no, I mean, in case he sees my true body, he will most likely capture me and take me to refine a Saint Pill. Wouldn’t my tens of thousands of years of cultivation be ruined?”Qing Mo was about to cry from fear.
Zhang Ruochen took out Elder Yuan Zhou’s token and shoved it into Qing Mo’s hand, saying, “In case you are really captured, take out this token and tell that Saint Elder that you are a Saint Pill that ran out from inside Elder Yuan Zhou’s medicinal garden, which is enough to save a life.”
Qing Mo took the token, still feeling weak in the legs and unable to take a step, asking Zhang Ruochen multiple times if he could stay away.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen spoke the name of Huang Yicun before she was forced to act.
Qing Mo arrived a thousand miles away from the Elder’s Pavilion and triggered a Holy Qi fluctuation.
As expected, another Saint Elder in the Elders’ Pavilion, sensing the Saint Qi fluctuation, flew out of the mountain peak and hurried over to Qing Mo’s direction.
“It’s now.”
Zhang Ruochen unfolded his stance and rushed towards the mountain peak where the Elder Pavilion was located.
Even without Elder Yuan Zhou’s token, with Zhang Ruochen’s current spiritual strength, he was able to evade the perceptions of all the experts in the Elders’ Pavilion as if he was entering and exiting a no man’s land.
“The Earth Elemental Dharma King is imprisoned in the Zijun Hall, trapped by the Nine Dragons Heaven Locking Formation, we must strike without him noticing, even if we can’t kill him, we have to seriously injure him first.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t release the Blood Moon Ghost King, instead, he was prepared to strike in person.
The aura on the Blood Moon Ghost King was too powerful to quietly assassinate the Earth Elemental Dharma King. If, instead, the Earth Elemental Dharma King was startled in advance, it would not be a good thing.
Zhang Ruochen used a powerful spiritual power to wrap his entire body and collect his aura, and like a ghost, he rushed into into the Zi Jun Hall.
