At this moment, Ling Yue walked over. Seeing Wu Hao awake, her eyes were full of joy. She immediately turned to the disciple beside her and instructed, “Quickly go and summon all the Yaowang Sect disciples to assemble in the front courtyard!”
The disciple accepted the order and hurried away. In less than half an incense stick’s time, more than three hundred Yaowang Sect disciples dressed in white skirts neatly gathered in the front courtyard.
Their postures were upright, surrounded by pure spiritual energy. But when their gazes fell on Chen Ping, their previous dignity instantly dissipated. Their eyes were full of undisguised desire, the looks so fervent that they seemed to melt Chen Ping.
After all, during the bloodline fusion process, they not only broke through the cultivation bottlenecks that had troubled them for a long time, but also experienced unprecedented pleasure. This memory was deeply imprinted in their hearts, filling them with a special affection for Chen Ping.
Ling Yue stood in front of the disciples, feeling the fervent gazes from behind. Her cheeks slightly flushed.
How could she not yearn to fuse bloodlines with Chen Ping again? The comfortable sensation brought by the intertwining of powers, and the joy of cultivation improvement, all made her long for it.
If Wu Hao were not present, she might have already cast aside the reserve of a sect master and thrown herself into Chen Ping’s arms.
Wu Hao took all this in, a knowing smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
He cupped his hands towards Ling Yue and Chen Ping. “Many thanks to Sect Master Ling Yue for the care during this time. Not only did you save me, but you also greatly elevated Fellow Daoist Chen’s cultivation.
Now, the Sixth Heaven is in imminent peril. We cannot stay here any longer. It is time to go out and find other companions to jointly confront the Soul Devouring Venerable.”
Upon hearing this, Ling Yue suppressed her thoughts, her expression becoming serious. “The Sovereign is right. Right now is indeed not the time for romantic entanglements. I have already had the disciples prepare ample pills and healing herbs. They will accompany you, adding more combat power.”
Chen Ping looked at everyone in front of him, his heart full of gratitude. He deeply bowed to Ling Yue and the disciples. “Many thanks to all of you. This kindness will surely be repaid in the future. Once we quell the demonic cultivators’ chaos, we will surely restore peace to the Sixth Heaven.”
Afterwards, everyone packed up properly and walked towards the outside of the Yaowang Sect.
When they passed through the spatial light curtain at the valley entrance, the scene before them made everyone gasp in shock. The Sixth Heaven, once with blue skies and white clouds, was now shrouded in thick, impenetrable black demonic qi. Sunlight had completely disappeared, and the world was in complete darkness.
The air was filled with a strong bloody smell and the scent of decay. Every breath made one feel nauseous.
Broken corpses were visible everywhere on the ground, human cultivators, beast clan cultivators, and divine kingdom cultivators. Their deaths were miserable, some cut in half at the waist, some with heads missing. Blood dyed the earth red, converging into dark red streams flowing towards low-lying areas.
“This, this is simply hell on earth!”
A Yaowang Sect female disciple, seeing this scene, could not help but cover her mouth. Her eyes were full of fear, and her voice trembled.
Ling Yue’s face also became very ugly. She gripped the medicine staff in her hand tightly and said in a deep voice, “I did not expect the Soul Devouring Venerable’s methods to be so cruel. In just half a month, the Sixth Heaven has turned into this state.”
Wu Hao looked at the tragic scene before him, his eyes full of grief and anger. He clenched his fists tightly, nails digging deep into his palms, blood dripping from between his fingers. “Soul Devouring Venerable! I will definitely tear you to pieces and avenge these dead cultivators!”
Chen Ping patted Wu Hao’s shoulder, his tone heavy. “Sovereign, our primary task now is to find Daoist Wuji and Zi Yuan and the others. Only by gathering more forces do we have a chance to confront the Soul Devouring Venerable.”
Wu Hao took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and nodded. “You are right. Let us set off now and go to the previously agreed meeting point to check.”
