Supreme Dragon Martial Soul - Chapter 619 - 295: Blood Nether Sect Stronghold!
Chapter 619: Chapter 295: Blood Nether Sect Stronghold!
“What happened? Why is the sect’s alarm bell sounding!”
“I don’t know. The elders are asking everyone to head to the Inner Sect Square! There must be a major announcement!”
After five chimes of the bell, the entire Xuanyuan Sect was in an uproar.
In no time, the entire Inner Sect Square was packed with people. Besides the disciples, all the inner sect elders who rushed over looked equally puzzled.
Swoosh!
Just as everyone was speculating about what significant event had occurred, a powerful sound tore through the sky, splitting the rolling clouds in half.
Then, three figures flew gracefully across the clear sky.
Their feet shone with a glow, and their presence was as vast as the sea. They were the usually reclusive core elders of the inner sect.
As the three core elders descended, the entire Inner Sect Square became silent.
A core elder, clad in a purple robe with white hair and beard, cleared his throat and said:
“Some remnants of the Blood Ghost Cult are hiding in the Black Cloud Mountain Range. This is something you all should be aware of. Just now, we received news that a hideout of the Blood Ghost Cult hidden in the Black Cloud Mountain Range has been discovered.”
“What! The Blood Ghost Cult’s hideout has been found!”
With this news, all the disciples and elders instantly burst into excitement.
This was indeed an earth-shattering event.
No wonder the sect’s alarm bell was rung!
Many disciples speculated with great envy who it was that discovered the Blood Ghost Cult’s hideout.
After all, finding the Blood Ghost Cult’s hideout first comes with extremely generous rewards, including three thousand sect contribution points!
Besides the contribution points, one would also receive two Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pills and an opportunity to train in the Crack Fire Valley, the Fierce Cloud Sect’s secret cultivation ground!
The Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill is a precious drug that can aid those in the Awakening Vein Realm to step into the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Each pill is invaluable and worth a fortune.
As for the Fierce Cloud Sect’s secret cultivation place, Crack Fire Valley, its effects surpass even the Washing Body Pond of the Xuanyuan Sect and the Seven-Colored Spring of the Luoxia Sect. Such an opportunity is indeed rare.
The combined reward is enough to tempt even a Great Power from the Four Extremes Secret Realm!
After letting the crowd discuss for a while, the speaking core elder pressed one palm down, unleashing an invisible pressure that swept across the area and continued:
“In a few days, we will attack the Blood Ghost Cult’s hideout. Apart from those who must remain to guard the sect, everyone else can go to the Black Cloud Mountain Range to hunt down the Blood Ghost Cult disciples. For each disciple you kill, sect contribution points will be awarded according to their cultivation! This is a rare training opportunity, I hope you all seize it well.”
A female core elder beside him said, “The Blood Ghost Cult disciples are bloodthirsty and possess many strange methods. This journey will indeed be perilous, so you must be mentally prepared. However…”
The female elder’s gaze was calm and sharp, “Cultivation is inherently a thorny forest, a struggle against the current. Only by honing oneself in life and death can one unleash potential and achieve greatness. Whether to go or not, decide for yourselves!”
With that, the three core elders flew gracefully upward and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
“To go or not?”
As soon as the three core elders left, everyone immediately began to discuss.
“Forget it! Haven’t you heard how ferocious the Blood Ghost Cult disciples are? They’re all bloodthirsty demons who won’t hesitate to kill. It’s easier said than done to kill them. Falling into their hands, you’d be caught between life and death with no way to live or die!”
“Hmph, what are you afraid of! For this encirclement, all the major sects will definitely send people! What can the Blood Ghost Cult stir up? Killing one Blood Ghost Cult disciple can earn you a considerable number of sect contribution points, which is much more cost-effective than completing sect missions!”
“Sect contribution points are a minor matter. There’s a rumor that the Blood Ghost Cult possesses many secret elixirs with effects far superior to the Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill. If you could obtain one or two, the hope of breaking into the Four Extremes Secret Realm in the future would greatly increase!”
“That’s right! Fortune favors the bold. Let’s do it!”
Those who could advance to the Awakening Vein Realm and become inner sect disciples were all determined in spirit.
Apart from a very few who decided to stay outside the sect, all the inner sect disciples began to form groups and plan their journey to the Black Cloud Mountain Range!
Yunquan City!
Yunquan City is over three hundred miles away from the Black Cloud Mountain Range, a small city with a population of several million.
Because of the news that the Blood Ghost Cult hideout was discovered, Yunquan City became much busier than usual, with streets full of sword-wielding Jianghu roamers and many masters gathered.
Yunlan Restaurant, one of the most prestigious restaurants in Yunquan City, has five floors with walls adorned with white jade, exuding a sense of wealth.
On the fifth floor of Yunlan Restaurant, various distinguished Jianghu guests and sect disciples sat, drinking and chatting, their topics naturally revolving around the discovery of the Blood Ghost Cult hideout.
“For this operation against the Blood Ghost Cult, besides the Three Great Sects, the Imperial Family and other sects are all involved, seemingly intending to wipe out the Blood Ghost Cult remnants in the Black Cloud Mountain Range in one go.”
“It won’t be that easy. The Blood Ghost Cult once dominated the Yunlan Domain Group as an overlord-level power. Coming back this time, they definitely have big plans. This battle will surely be a bloody one with rivers of blood!”
Everyone was anxious about this battle.
Who didn’t know the horror of the Blood Ghost Cult in the past! Many old-generation powers still had lingering shadows in their hearts!
In the midst of silence, someone brought up who it was that first discovered the hideout.
“I’ve received reliable information that the person who discovered the Blood Ghost Cult hideout this time is the Xuanyuan Sect’s top ten seed disciple, Eighth Prince Jin Min!”
The speaker was a well-dressed middle-aged man with not weak cultivation, at the middle stage of the Awakening Vein Realm, who was quite renowned in the area.
“Eighth Prince Jin Min! No wonder, he has the backing of the Imperial Family, the Xuanyuan Sect’s Crown Prince Hall, and the Qi Family of the Imperial City. His connections are vast, and he certainly can mobilize many people.”
“However, since Jin Min is a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect, the Fierce Cloud Sect and the Xuanyuan Sect are bitter rivals. Would the Fierce Cloud Sect allow him to train in Crack Fire Valley?”
“How could they renege on such a public promise? The Fierce Cloud Sect is, after all, one of the Three Great Sects, their credibility should be intact. With two Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pills and training in Crack Fire Valley, this Eighth Prince Jin Min might just charge into the Four Extremes Secret Realm and become a Great Power in one breath!”
The tone of the group was filled with envy.
After all, becoming a Great Power is a lifelong pursuit for the Awakening Vein Realm cultivators present.
The Awakening Vein Realm is just half a step into the great gate of cultivation, only becoming a Great Power, mastering Heaven and Earth’s Great Trend, counts as truly entering the inner sanctum!
Suddenly, a square-faced Jianghu guest mentioned, “Speaking of the Xuanyuan Sect, I just heard something odd. Someone said that last year’s winner of the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, Luo Cheng, defeated Qi Feiyu a few days ago and became one of the Xuanyuan Sect’s top ten seed disciples!”
With that, the square-faced Jianghu guest took a big swig of wine and shook his head laughing, “Haha, I don’t know who spread this news. That Luo Cheng couldn’t awaken even a One-star Wasted Martial Soul, and in just one year, he became a top ten seed disciple. Just imagining it seems absurd…”
His words fell, yet those around him had strange expressions.
Someone sighed and said, “Old Hu, you’re too inexperienced. This matter has already been widely spread, known to everyone. How could it be false?”
The revelation sparked a flurry of discussions about recent rumors involving Luo Cheng, how he consecutively slew several young geniuses in Linxia City, and how he showcased immense power in the Inner Sect Square of the Xuanyuan Sect, sweeping the Crown Prince Hall experts, and with just two sword strikes, severely injured the top ten seed disciple Qi Feiyu!
These feats left the square-faced man swallowing saliva and dazedly saying, “Nine Sword Intent Prototype! Two sword strikes to injure Qi Feiyu! Is this… a joke!”
The crowd ignored him.
When they first heard the news, didn’t they feel the same way?
Suddenly, someone said, “By the way, whatever happened to Hua Jingyang of the Fierce Cloud Sect? Since he lost to Luo Cheng, he’s been silent without a trace. He and Luo Cheng set a year’s battle agreement, and if you count the days, it should be soon!”
“So what if the time is up. With Luo Cheng’s current strength, would he dare to show up?”
“Tsk tsk, who would have imagined that a super genius who awakened a Spirit Martial Soul would be suppressed by Luo Cheng, who awakened a Wasted Martial Soul, and be unable to raise his head—simply unfathomable…”
The more the group talked, the more excited they became.
At this moment.
Bang!
At the table by the window, a young man in a black cloak crushed a teacup in his hand, with the fragments and tea directly being vaporized by terrifying high temperatures into nothingness!
