Zhang Ruochen didn’t push for the position of Sect Leader, but agreed openly.
The Blood God Sect was an ancient sect with a long legacy and a deep heritage, and by becoming a Sect Leader, one could obtain a large amount of cultivation resources that ordinary Saints could not obtain.
For example, divine blood.
In the Blood God Cult, there was a divine corpse.
Legend had it that it was the corpse of the founding ancestor, the Blood God.
A divine corpse could be considered a huge treasure trove, containing vast amounts of divine blood.
Other than that, anything on the body of a divine corpse was a treasure, the cloth that shrouded the corpse, a piece of divine bone, a strand of hair …… were all heavy treasures that even saints had to covet.
Of course, what Zhang Ruochen valued most was the divine blood.
“As long as we can get a large amount of divine blood, we will be able to refine enough Blood Suppressing Talismans.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
The high-level turmoil in the Blood God Sect had already ended, and the Undying Blood Race’s infiltrators and the human cultivators who worked for the Undying Blood Race were almost cleaned out.
Of course, the fall of a large number of saints had resulted in the Blood God Sect’s vitality being greatly injured, and the small-scale unrest among the middle and lower level cultivators had continued. To fully stabilise it, I’m afraid it would still take a short period of time.
Elder Yuan Zhou proposed to invite all the saints in the world and hold an enthronement ceremony.
Zhang Ruochen, however, vetoed this proposal, believing that the Blood God Sect should continue to seal the mountain, carry out internal reorganisation, and work hard to improve its strength.
It wouldn’t be too late to hold the Enshrinement Ceremony when the Blood God Sect had completely stabilised and become stronger.
……
…………
The big battle at the Black Market’s main altar had already spread out, not only shocking Tiantai Prefecture, but the entire Kunlun Realm’s cultivators were in an uproar.
The imperial court and the black market had joined forces to exterminate more than twenty saints of the Yellow Sky Clan, which, moreover, included, the golden-robed elder of the Immortal God’s Temple, Mister Mu Qian, and the Yellow Sky Clan’s imperial daughter.
There was a rumour that the Time Spreader, Zhang Ruochen, had participated in the battle, using the Green Sky Bow and White Sun Arrow to shoot the Yellow Sky Imperial Daughter.
All of the major forces in the Tiantai Prefecture had entered a state of strict defence and alert, fearing that this great turmoil would spread to them.
“Falling over twenty Saints in a row, even the Yellow Sky Clan is probably a bit overwhelmed, and a large portion of the lurkers they had set up in the Central Domain should have already been extinguished.”
The Yellow Sky Tribe’s most significant arrangement in the Central Region was centred around the Blood God Cult, wanting to use the Blood God Cult as a foundation to scourge the Tiantai Prefecture.
Now that all of their forces in the Blood God Cult had been exterminated, it would be difficult to make any big waves in the Central Domain.
Many cultivators were analysing the current situation, including the Sacred Book Talented Lady who was far away from the Central Imperial City, as well as the wise men from the Ministry of War, the Martial Market Money Bank, the Black Market, the Hall of Brightness, and the Moon Worshipping Demon Cult.
They were projecting the next changes in the situation so that they could make a response in advance.
“With the elimination of the Yellow Sky Clan’s sleepers, Zhang Ruochen’s crisis should have been lifted, right?”
The Sacred Book Talent Maiden stood beside the Heavenly Chess Stage, looking at a single piece of chess disappearing in the game, her pair of soulful and beautiful eyes revealed a charming light smile.
All of the Saint realm beings in the Kunlun Realm were all pawns in the game of chess under the sky.
When a Saint realm being died, there would be one less piece in the world chess game.
“Boom!”
On the chess stage, in the area representing the Blood God Sect, a popping sound was faintly heard.
“What’s happening? The unrest in the Blood God Sect, could it be that it hasn’t ended yet?”
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden’s eyes stared as she mobilised her spiritual power and immersed herself into the Heaven and Earth Chess Stage once again, wanting to probe which Saint had fallen just now.
“Boom boom.”
Immediately after, there was actually another large swathe of pieces bursting into pieces, and at least twenty Saints had fallen.
The drastic changes on the Heaven and Earth Chess Stage alarmed the great Confucian scholars, who rushed to the Lianzhu Mansion to ask the Sacred Book Talented Maiden what exactly had happened.
The Sacred Scripture Maiden was also quite perplexed, according to the information she had, the Blood God Sect’s civil strife should have already ended, so how could such an intense battle break out again?
With such a large number of Saints falling, just by thinking about it, one could guess how tragic the great war in the Blood God Sect was.
“The Painting Saint is in the Blood God Sect, he should be able to suppress all the turmoil.”
“I don’t think that’s necessarily true, Old Man Chu’s cultivation is indeed very deep, and at the Saint realm, he can sweep everything away. However, the chess table shows that a Saint King level figure was born. The birth of a Saint King is definitely a great event that is not trivial!”
“If, that newborn Saint King is a friend, then the unrest in the Blood God Sect should be able to be calmed down. If, that newborn Saint King is an enemy, then the Blood God Sect’s turmoil is just the beginning, and the next thirty-six provinces of the Tiantai Prefecture will all enter into war and turmoil.”
……
The game of chess in heaven and earth could only present a general situation, and the people present, who had no idea what great events had happened in the Blood God Sect, could only continue to wait, hoping that news would be sent back as soon as possible.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady was also nervous, gently pursing her red lips, even her breathing stopped.
She was worried about the situation of the Blood God Sect, worried about Chu Siyuan, and of course, she was also worried about Zhang Ruochen. After all, Zhang Ruochen was at the centre of the vortex, and if he was not careful, he would be shattered.
“Wow–”
A summoning light talisman flew from beyond the heavens and rushed into into the Lian Zhu Mansion.
The eyes of the Sacred Book Talent Lady lit up, her sleeves rolled up a bit, forming a vortex of qi energy, and she took the summoning light talisman into her hands, consulting the contents on top of the light talisman.
The great Confucian scholars gathered around, guessing in their hearts that the content on the light talisman should be news from the Blood God Sect.
After the Sacred Book Talented Lady finished reading the content above the transmission light talisman, a pair of black and white starry eyes, once again gently blinked, as if the whole person was much more relaxed, and laughed: “It is the news from the Tiantai Prefecture State Pastor, Yue Shuzi, the Blood God Cult has indeed had a major upheaval, but it has already been stabilised for the time being.”
Afterwards, the Sacred Book Talented Lady handed over the transmission light talisman to the great scholars.
After reading the contents on top of the light talisman, all of the Great Scholars present revealed a thoughtful expression.
“A Gaijin who has crossed over into the Saint King realm is actually the Blood God Sect’s Sectmaster’s wife, Qiu Yi Chi. How could she be working for the Immortal Blood Clan?”
“In just a few hundred years, Qiu Yi Chi has already cultivated a large number of Saints, and, moreover, has secretly taken control of the Green Dragon Market Realm. Her methods really aren’t ordinary, we actually overlooked her before.”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady also felt incredulous and said, “Qiu Yi Chi shouldn’t belong to any of the ten great tribes, and has never had contact with the Immortal God Temple. So, who exactly is she working for?”
The Sacred Book Talent Maiden held the most massive intelligence system in the Kunlun Realm, and nothing could be hidden from her.
If, Qiu Yi Chi and the Undying Blood Clan really had contact, even if it was no matter how secretive it was, it would be impossible for there to be no trace of it at all.
The Zither Sect’s Patriarch, Mr Mei, stood next to the Heaven and Earth Chess Stage, and hadn’t said a word the entire time, instead staring at the area on the chess stage that represented the Blood God Sect.
His finger, then, pointed towards the chess stage and said, “What do you see here?”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady and the great scholars, all of them projected their gazes over, staring at the location of Mr Mei’s fingertip.
“The Endless Abyss.”A great scholar said.
“What does the Sovereign mean?”Someone asked in confusion.
The Sacred Book Talent’s eyes, surging with an intimidating aura, were very surprised as she said, “Could it be that Mister Mei thinks that the reason why Qiu Yiqi is working for the Undying Blood Clan is most likely related to the Endless Abyss?”
With a serious face, Mister Mei nodded and said, “When you first went to the Shangguan Family to seek an audience with the Que Sacred King, didn’t the Que Sacred King give you a note to guide you to the Endless Profound Abyss.”
“That’s right, but that note, it might not have been written by the hand of the Que Saint King himself, it could very well be a setup that the Immortal Blood Clan had set up long ago.”The Sacred Book Talented Lady said.
“At the very beginning, old me also thought so. However, Qiu Yiqi’s appearance has made old me change this idea. Perhaps, that note was really written by Saint King Que himself. The reason why he guided you to the Endless Abyss is most likely because he wanted to tell you something else, the Endless Abyss is most likely hiding a shocking secret.”Mr Mei said.
The Sacred Book Talent said, “If the Endless Abyss really hides a shocking secret, but why didn’t Saint King Que just say so explicitly?”
Mr Mei said, “What if Saint King Que is afraid to say it explicitly?”
A great scholar was a bit unconvinced and said, “Saint King Que already reached the Saint King realm eight hundred years ago, and now his cultivation is even more unfathomable, what power in the world, other than the Empress, can seal his mouth?”
Mr Mei said, “For eight hundred years, Saint King Que has been living in deep seclusion, rarely appearing in the limelight. In the last hundred years, he has even completely disappeared as if he had fallen. When he behaves like this, how is he not hiding from something? It’s not certain that there really is a force comparable to the Empress suppressing him, causing him to not even dare to speak.”
“A force comparable to the Empress?”
None of the great Confucian scholars present were able to remain calm, their minds suffering a huge shock.
Mister Mei had already made it so obvious, and none of them were stupid, they had long had a guess in their hearts, only, they didn’t dare to say it out loud.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady carefully said, ”Mister Mei suspects that the Blood Queen from eight hundred years ago is not dead and is in the Endless Abyss? Qiu Yi Chi is working for the Blood Queen?”
A great scholar next to him immediately dismissed this speculation and said, “Back then, the Blood Empress was more powerful than even the Nine Emperors, and could be considered an unparalleled overlord. If she was truly alive, she would have already been mighty in the world, how could she possibly be cowering in the Endless Abyss?”
“That’s right, the Blood Empress is a sharp-fingered emperor who almost annihilated the Human Race back then, if she were truly alive, it would be impossible for her to be hidden from the world.”
The crowd was unwilling to believe this speculation, because, if the Blood Empress was truly alive, with the Empress missing, there was simply no one in the Human Race who would be able to block her.
“It’s just a guess, so everyone shouldn’t be too nervous.”
Mr Mei smiled faintly, then, added, “The most important thing we should do at the moment should be to invite a great person to go and capture Qiu Yi Chi. As long as we capture Qiu Yi Chi, naturally the truth of the matter will also be clear. Who would be appropriate to invite?”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady suggested, saying, “Qiu Yi Chi has only just reached the Saint King realm, so as long as we invite the Heavenly King of the Lingxiao to take action, it will be enough to take her down.”
