Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!! - Chapter 823 - 823: Blood Demon Sect?

Watching as the blizzard drowned the entire square, the child kneeling on the ground felt a surge of emotions in his heart.

Just when it looked like the captain of blood demon sect and his goons were dealt with, a loud scream echoed throughout heaven and earth.

The lingering cold wind from the attack was suddenly pushed back. Right as the fog settled, the boy squirmed in fear.

Even after taking the attack that was capable of leveling the whole village, the captain seemed to be fine. There were only some scratches on his body and no deep wounds.

Seeing him coming out unscathed like this scared the little boy.

He wanted to run away, but his legs refused to move. The only thing on his mind was to survive, in any way.

‘Huh…’ while he was deliberating what to do, the boy felt his body being lifted up from the ground. He looked around but realized that no one was holding him and only a young woman with icy hair was standing behind him.

Chen Xueyan felt his gaze and looked back with a slight smile, “This is dangerous; shall we head back a little?”

The boy was too stunned to speak; he had never seen someone as beautiful as her. Xueyan was like the fairies he had heard about only in stories.

Her skin was pale, and her willow eyes were brimming with power. The most fascinating thing about her was that she was not walking on the ground.

But instead, her feet were an inch above the ground; even as she walked, they never touched the dirt below.

‘Immortal fairy.’ That was the only thing that appeared in the boy’s mind as he was willed away from the area along with the corpse of his mother.

…

Watching them leave, the captain only gritted his teeth in hatred but did not make any attempts to stop them.

The reason was the woman who had attacked him first. He looked up, and their eyes met.

Jiang Shi looked more like an immortal fairy than her senior sister. The coldness that shrouded her and the otherworldly temper she exuded—everything about her screamed nobility.

“Who are you?! How dare you attack the people of the Blood Demon Sect? Do you know the consequence of your actions?” Instead of attacking directly, the captain took a more cautious approach and demanded answers from Jiang Shi.

Even though it seemed like he was unscathed, the members of his group were already frozen to death from the previous attack.

Their bodies were now turned into icy sculptures.

“Reveal your affiliation! Which sect do you belong to?”

Jiang Shi looked down coldly. Beside her, the phoenix she had conjured with her qi flapped its wing with majesty and pride.

“The one who should be asking those questions…” Jiang Shi uttered each word with a coldness that seeped through your veins itself: “It is me.”

A vein throbbed on the face of the captain, but he tried his best to hold it in. ‘I have to be calm. Even if this woman is not with her sect currently, she is quite powerful. I have to sneak an attack and take her down.’

He glanced in the direction of Chen Xueyan, but she was already quite far from them. She was protecting the boy with a qi shield as if she was prepared for a battle to break out.

‘I want to ask many things, but Elder Xin Yan told me that people answer truthfully when they are beaten half to death.’ Jiang Shi thought in her heart, seeing the alert and cautious nature of the captain.

Just as she was lost in thought, the captain’s body suddenly exploded into blood mist right before her.

Her eyes went wide; she immediately extended her qi sense to track his movements but found nothing.

The blood mist hung in the air like a crimson fog, obscuring everything. ‘Where—’

Before she could complete the thought, a sharp killing intent pierced through the air behind her.

Jiang Shi’s instincts screamed. She whirled around just as the captain materialized from nothingness, a wicked blade of bloody crystal already descending toward her neck.

The ice phoenix shrieked and threw itself between them.

Boom!

The crystalline blade collided with the phoenix’s wing, releasing a thunderous explosion that shook the entire village.

Shards of ice and droplets of blood scattered in all directions.

The shockwave sent Jiang Shi flying backward, her body tumbling through the air like a leaf in a storm.

Just before she collided with the ground, her eyes sharpened. She twisted her body mid-flight, rotating her core and channeling qi to her feet.

The moment her foot touched the earth, she kicked off with explosive force, launching herself back into the sky.

Her robes billowed as she ascended, ice forming beneath her feet with each step as if she were climbing an invisible staircase.

The captain grinned viciously, blood qi erupting from his body like crimson flames. “You’re strong for someone at the first level of Golden Core, I’ll give you that. But you’ve made a grave mistake challenging me!”

His cultivation base surged, revealing the true depth of his power. The aura of someone nearing great completion of the Golden Core Realm pressed down on the village like a mountain.

He shot forward, his blade transforming into a dozen bloody afterimages.

Jiang Shi’s expression remained unchanged. She raised her hand, and frost gathered in her palm, condensing into a sword of pure ice that gleamed with an ethereal blue light.

Clang!

Their weapons clashed. The sound was deafening.

Windows shattered throughout the village.

The frozen corpses of the captain’s subordinates cracked and crumbled to dust.

They separated and clashed again, then again. Each exchange sent destructive waves of energy rippling outward. Houses collapsed.

The ground split open with deep fissures.

‘My village….’ In the distance, shielded by Chen Xueyan, the young boy wept in silence, seeing his village being destroyed by the fight between two powerhouses.

Their powers were beyond his understanding. He just only lamented over his fate. ‘What did I do wrong to deserve this…’

In just one day his whole world was turned upside down. Cultivators arrived from nowhere and uprooted his life without any reason.

While he was despairing, the battle continued.
