Ji Shui was surprised, thinking that Zhang Ruochen was too bold to pit the Sea Underworld Dharma King. Wasn’t he afraid that Dharma King Hai Moi would be the first to take him to task when he returned from his injuries?
The consequences of going against a Dharma King could be quite serious.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have an ounce of goodwill towards the Sea Underworld Dharma King, and if he could, he would want to make use of this opportunity to use the Immortal Blood Race’s hands to get rid of the Sea Underworld Dharma King.
The next day, the news that Dharma King Hai Moi had been assassinated spread throughout the Blood God Sect, causing shockwaves of shock.
The news travelled to the outside world and was known by other forces.
“The Blood God Sect really has had an eventful autumn, first the Sect Leader disappeared, followed by a Dharma King being imprisoned, a Dharma King being stabbed to serious injury, and a Saint falling. At this rate, a major upheaval is bound to occur in the Blood God Sect before long.”
“Once the Blood God Sect is in turmoil, the entire Tiantai Prefecture is going to change, we must prepare in advance so that we won’t be caught off guard then.”
……
Several of the most powerful forces in the Tiantai Prefecture, the Taiji Dao, Shangguan Family, Cai Family, and the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion …… all realised that the Blood God Cult’s turmoil was spreading, and that it would soon affect them, and they were preparing their countermeasures.
Blood God Cult.
Elder Yuan Gui and the Palace Master of the Chaotic Character Heavenly Palace, who had personally planned last night’s assassination, were naturally very accomplished, and last night’s battle, even though they had failed to kill Venerable Lord Hai Moi, had caused him to lose his chance to compete for the title of Sect Leader.
Coupled with the fact that Liao Teng had most likely killed Gu Linfeng, there would be one less person competing for the position of Sect Leader.
Elder Yuan Gui stood on the cliffside of a peak, looking at one of the temples and buildings in the Blood God Sect, and said with a smile, “Last night’s battle, although there were some regrets about not being able to get rid of Dharma King of the Sea Underworld, it was still very perfect all in all.”
The Chaotic Character Heavenly Palace Master was slightly worried, saying, “Liao Teng has been gone for so long and hasn’t returned, this Palace Master is a little worried about an accident happening on the Subterranean Dragon Palace’s side.”
“A Middle Realm Saint, against a First Happening Quasi-Saint, and accidents can still happen?”
Elder Yuan Gui had great confidence in Liao Teng and only thought that Liao Teng was delayed due to some other matters, therefore, he did not make it back in time.
Elder Yuan Gui returned to the Elders’ Pavilion, pondered for a moment, a gloomy smile appeared on his pale face, and passed out a decree, “No matter who dares to assassinate the Dharma King of the Blood God Sect, the Blood God Sect will definitely pour in all of its power to kill him.”
The Chaotic Character Heavenly Palace Palace Master stood in a magnificent temple and shouted to the outside world, “Block off all exits of the Blood God Cult and open the Cult Protector Formation, make sure to catch the murderer and destroy his bones.”
The shouts of Elder Yuan Gui and the Palace Master of the Chaotic Character Heavenly Palace immediately gained the support of the entire Blood God Sect, and all of the congregations all took action. They believed that it was an outsider who had stabbed Dharma King Hai Moi and wanted to capture him.
Zhang Ruochen sat in the Subterranean Dragon Hall, and when he heard the shouts of the Chaotic Character Heavenly Palace Palace Master, the corners of his mouth rose slightly as he muttered to himself, ”To actually act in such a righteous manner, one can’t help but admire it. It’s just that I don’t know, when Ji Shui brings Liao Teng’s corpse, to the Elder’s Pavilion, what kind of expression will this Palace Master Lord have?”
Subsequently, Zhang Ruochen entered the world of picture scrolls, no longer paying attention to the outside world, and began to impact the remaining twelve orifices in his head, striving to become a saint in the flesh as soon as possible.
It was noon.
Ji Shui and Lan Kuan, the second disciple of Dharma King Hai Moi, walked on top of the straight ladder and ascended step by step to the Elder’s Pavilion at the peak.
Apart from Elder Yuan Gui, there were also two Saint Elders, Elder Yuan Xing and Elder Yuan Zhou, as well as a dozen of inner sect elders sitting together in the Elders’ Pavilion.
They were discussing the assassination of Dharma King Hai Moi, and the atmosphere was quite heavy as everyone felt an invisible crisis.
Even a Dharma King level figure had been assassinated, and as it continued to evolve, I was afraid that it would be difficult for them to be spared as well.
Elder Yuan Gui snorted coldly, “It must be the Immortal Blood Clan taking revenge on us.”
An inner sect elder agreed with Elder Yuan Gui’s speculation and said, “Yesterday, His Highness the Divine Son killed the Hong Yuan Saint and revealed his true colours, the Blood God Sect took this opportunity to eliminate a large number of Undying Blood Race lurkers along the way, it would be strange for the Undying Blood Race not to retaliate.”
Elder Yuan Gui’s heart laughed coldly, but his face revealed a righteous expression as he said, “Let’s go to war! Our Blood God Sect must go to war against the Undying Blood Clan and make them pay an even more painful price.”
“Even if we are to go to war, we must first elect the position of Sect Leader. His Highness the Divine Son hasn’t reached the Saint realm yet, so he simply can’t become the new sect leader, so why don’t we elect a new sect leader among the four great Dharma Kings and the ten Palace Lords?”Someone proposed so.
In the Elders’ Pavilion, the debate started once again.
Right at this moment, an outer sect elder walked in and said, “Sea Underworld Dharma King’s second disciple, Lan Kuan, and tenth disciple, Ji Shui, are outside seeking an audience, claiming to have extremely important information to report.”
“Let them in.”Elder Yuan Xing said.
Elder Yuan Gui’s eyebrows stared, giving birth to a bad premonition as he secretly said, “Could it be that when Yu Hua City assassinated Dharma King Hai Moi, it left behind some important traces?”
Lan Kuan and Ji Shui walked into into the Elders’ Pavilion and bowed to salute the three Saint Elders.
Elder Yuan Gui was a little impatient and immediately asked, “Lan Kuan, what important information do the two of you have, is it related to the assassination of Dharma King Hai Moi?”
Lan Kuan bowed to Elder Yuan Gui and said, “I’m not very clear on this matter, senior sister is the one who knows the entire process.”
The gazes of all the elders all stared towards Ji Shui.
Ji Shui was not intimidated by the elders’ aura, and said without slowing down, “Last night, not only did a Saint realm powerhouse assassinate Senior Sister, but there was also a Saint realm powerhouse that broke into the Subterranean Dragon Hall and assassinated His Highness, the Divine Son.”
“What?”
A shocking cold aura surged out from Elder Yuan Xing’s body, and a powerful power fluctuation enveloped the mountain where the Elder Pavilion was located.
The mountain peak shook, and the hall shook.
One must know that Elder Yuan Xing was quite bullish on Gu Linfeng, feeling that he was the ray of hope for the Blood God Sect.
If Gu Linfeng was stabbed to death, then was there any hope for the future of the Blood God Sect?
In the Elders’ Pavilion, there was an uproar, and all the Elders were feeling shocked and angry.
Elder Yuan Gui thought that Gu Linfeng had died, and although his face also carried the wonder of anger, his heart carried was still quite pleased, feeling that Liao Teng’s work was commendable and had not let him down.
“Killing Gu Linfeng is quite a feat, he must be commended.”Elder Yuan Gui secretly said.
Elder Yuan Xing asked, “Is the Divine Son still alive now?”
Ji Shui sighed softly, and at the same time, observing the expressions of the elders as instructed by Zhang Ruochen, he slowly said, “His Highness, the Divine Son, was extremely injured, and has closed down to recuperate from his injuries.”
Not dead?
Even with Elder Yuan Gui’s state of mind, he couldn’t help but reveal a trace of incomprehension.
How could it be possible that he didn’t die?
Elder Yuan Gui’s subtle expression was keenly captured by Ji Shui.
Ji Shui added, ”Last night, Master Teacher was assassinated and suffered extremely serious injuries, and had all but entered the Absolute Ancient Snow Mountain to recuperate. However, it suddenly occurred to him that last night’s assassination was too odd, and he surmised that someone might be unfavourable to His Highness the Divine Son. Thus, his old man forcibly suppressed his injuries and went and returned, arriving at the Subterranean Dragon Palace in time to save the Divine Son who had been assassinated. Moreover, he also killed the assassin of the Undying Blood Clan.”
“The Undying Blood Clan’s assassin was killed? Where is the corpse?”Elder Yuan Gui asked.
Ji Shui took out Liao Teng’s head and carefully presented it, placing it in front of the three Saint Elders.
“The Deputy Palace Master of the Chaotic Character Heavenly Palace, Liao Teng, he …… he is even an Undying Blood Clan infiltrator as well.”
In the Elders’ Pavilion, all the Elders were all distraught, feeling chills on their vests, this scene in front of them had overturned their previous perceptions.
One must know that Liao Teng was a person with an open character, widely travelled, and was friends with many people present. Who would have thought that he was a sleeper of the Immortal Blood Clan?
Elder Yuan Gui’s eyes were gloomy to the extreme, hatred in his heart.
With the fall of two Saints in a row, the Undying Blood Clan could be said to have suffered heavy losses.
Originally, he had thought that last night’s action was perfect, but he had never expected that it would be a complete failure, having killed neither the Sea Underworld Venerable King nor Gu Linfeng.
“Since Liao Teng is an infiltrator of the Immortal Blood Clan, I’m afraid that the entire Chaotic Character Heavenly Palace has problems. We must immediately start a major cleanup before word gets out, and we can’t let any of the infiltrators escape.”
“Liao Teng was promoted by Messy Character Heavenly Palace Palace Master Yu Hua Cheng, I’m afraid that Yu Hua Cheng is also highly suspected, he must be imprisoned.”
……
Yesterday’s cleanup, hadn’t ended yet, today, a bigger cleanup operation was launched once again, pointing directly at the Chaotic Character Heavenly Palace.
In the first instance, Elder Yuan Gui transmitted a message to the Chaotic Character Heavenly Palace Palace Master, saying, “Liao Teng was killed, your identity has been exposed, hurry up and leave the Blood God Sect. You’d better enter the Extremely Ancient Snow Mountain and get rid of that old piker, the Sea Underworld Dharma King, no matter what.”
The Earth Elemental Dharma King had already been imprisoned, and if, for example, the Chaotic Character Heavenly Palace Palace Master was imprisoned again, the Undying Blood Clan would have lost half of its power in the Blood God Sect.
When the Chaotic Character Heavenly Palace Palace Master received the transmission, he was also confused for a moment, and then, he immediately left the Blood God Cult and rushed into into the snow-covered Absolute Ancient Snow Mountain.
Once Ji Shui returned, Zhang Ruochen temporarily stopped his cultivation to listen to her report.
“The Palace Master of the Chaotic Character Heavenly Palace unexpectedly escaped first, in that case, there must be an Undying Blood Race infiltrator in the Elder’s Pavilion who tipped them off. Moreover, that person’s cultivation level must be extremely high, most likely one of the three Saint Elders present at that time.”Zhang Ruochen surmised so.
Ji Shui asked, “Why?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “An ordinary Inner Sect Elder transmitting sound to the outside world would not be able to hide it from the senses of the three Saint Elders.”
Ji Shui hesitated for a moment, and in the end, he still told some of the discoveries he made in the Elders’ Pavilion today, which included, among others, the change in Elder Gu Yuan’s expression when he heard that Gu Linfeng was not dead.
Zhang Ruochen’s fingers rested on his chin as he smiled slightly, “This Elder Gui Yuan is highly suspicious, go check him out.”
Ji Shui transformed into twelve blood qi and disappeared into the air. Afterwards, a maid came in from outside, kneeling on one knee in front of Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Sacred Elder Yuan Zhou and Sacred Maiden Your Highness have come down to the Subterranean Dragon Hall to visit Your Highness the Divine Son’s injuries. I wonder if Your Highness the Divine Son will see them or not?”
