Chapter 1248 - 1248: Blood Demon Dao

This delegation led by Brother Cheng, consisting of over twenty Emperor Pill Masters, along with three Celestial Palace higher-ups, a Tiger Demon from the Land of Dao Extinction, and a Wolf Girl from the Evil Immortal Realm, departed like that.

After leaving the Celestial Palace, the journey went smoothly.

Soon, they crossed the frontline battlefield and entered the territory of the Evil Immortals.

Here, they did not encounter any attacks.

Moreover, two Daoist Saints and over a dozen Daoist Venerables from the Evil Immortal Realm personally escorted them for a while.

During the conversation, they were very courteous and enthusiastic toward Daoist Venerables Tian Lin, Taiheng, and Beihe.

Those unaware might even think they were from the Celestial Palace.

No wonder high-tier Emperor Pill Masters are so well-received.

No matter how unscrupulous the Evil Immortals are, they always have demand for pills.

Unfortunately, Brother Cheng did not receive this treatment.

Even though they knew he was the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department, the Evil Immortals still treated him as nonexistent, showing coldness.

Like the Divine Monarchs from the Celestial Palace, they believed Jiang Cheng obtained his position through manipulation without genuine skills.

This made Sect Leader Jiang very dissatisfied, prompting him to give a negative review.

"Dude, I've come from afar as a guest. Even if you don't welcome me enthusiastically, you should at least offer some gifts, like Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and Marvels?"

"Showing up empty-handed is just not right in terms of etiquette!"

This oblivious and illogical remark made the Daoist Saints and Daoist Venerables from the Evil Immortal Realm twitch with rage.

By the heavens, we've been restrained for not slaughtering you on sight!

Don't forget, you represented the Celestial Peak Army and killed countless of our men!

You're our sworn enemy, yet you dare accuse us of lacking courtesy?

Once the wager's period is over, don't think we'll let you walk away!

Even Daoist Venerables Qi Wu, Qian Yan, and Fan Lei were speechless, feeling an intense urge to ridicule.

Requesting gifts from the Evil Immortals—you're quite bold!

But the Three-Eyed Tiger was fully in agreement.

"Bro, it's no big deal if these Evil Immortals can't appreciate things. Once we reach the Land of Dao Extinction, that's my territory!"

The Tiger Demon boasted, chest puffed out, as if he was very influential there.

"I assure you a royal welcome, making you feel at home with imperial treatment!"

Brother Cheng was intrigued.

"Are you really that esteemed over there?"

The Three-Eyed Tiger was just bragging casually; after all, there's no tax on boasting.

"Of course, given my many years of mingling, my credentials speak for themselves!"

"In the Land of Dao Extinction, which sects and families don't give me face when they see me?"

Yan Yi, well-informed about the Land of Dao Extinction, couldn't help but scoff at his words.

"You? Just because of you?"

"Don't assume I don't know about your bad reputation there, constantly hunted by everyone."

No positive comments came from Daoist Venerables Qi Wu and Qian Yan, knowing that the Three-Eyed Tiger and Jiang Cheng were partners in crime.

"You're merely a minor Supreme Tiger Demon, brimming with arrogance."

"Just don't drag us down!"

Their mockery made the prideful Three-Eyed Tiger feel a bit awkward.

"Well, just wait and see. If you encounter trouble inside, don't expect me to help resolve it!"

Daoist Venerables Qi Wu and Qian Yan coldly sneered, too disdainful to argue.

Thus, the 'delegation' reached the depths of the Evil Immortal Realm soon.

Advancing further would lead them to the Land of Dao Extinction.

Even though they hadn't entered yet, Jiang Cheng could already feel the gradual weakening of the Heavenly Dao's power.

Going deeper, the cycle of Heaven and Earth became increasingly chaotic.

Without even concentrating, one could perceive the Heavenly Dao's diminishing control over this area.

Fortunately, the Three Thousand Origins still tirelessly illuminate every inch, or else this place would become barren, unsuitable for cultivation.

In appearance, the Land of Dao Extinction does not seem vast.

But a Mustard Seed can form its own world, let alone a massive domain like the Land of Dao Extinction.

If one were to truly enter, an average Immortal might fly for a billion years without reaching the boundary.

According to the original plan, the delegation from the Celestial Pill Department would be received by several Great Sects upon entering the Land of Dao Extinction.

Then, they would lead them to the ultimate destination—Brahma Painting Mountain.

That place is considered a renowned Sacred Land within the Land of Dao Extinction and is the venue for the current Alchemy Dao Exchange Conference.

However, just as they entered the spatial barrier between worlds, the surrounding space currents surged violently, creating an overwhelming Gang Feng.

Before they could react, the delegation was scattered.

After a moment of disorienting chaos, Brother Cheng landed gracefully with a perfect aerial twist of 1080 degrees.

As for those near him, the Three-Eyed Tiger and Yan Yi fell flat on their bottoms, losing all pretense.

He couldn't help feeling slightly frustrated.

"No matter what situation you encounter, maintaining elegance is a King Bi's fundamental quality!"

Yan Yi cast him a fierce glance.

The Three-Eyed Tiger, however, seemed to understand, showing signs of regret.

"Bro, I've learned."

The lips of the other three Daoist Venerables twitched.

Suddenly encountering a critical situation and being swept into such an unfamiliar domain, shouldn't you focus on more pressing matters?

Like where this place is and how to reunite with the rest of the team?

High above the distant border of the Land of Dao Extinction, King Shi, King Jing, and King Lv laughed heartily.

That storm wasn't spontaneous.

It was deliberately orchestrated by them.

The goal was simple: separate Jiang Cheng from the Celestial Pill Department team.

Otherwise, that guy might just end up parading as a VIP at the Alchemy Dao Exchange Conference and return to the Celestial Palace triumphantly and unscathed.

Their plan would then be for naught.

"Success!"

"Hahaha, now that kid is doomed!"

"Definitely. They've now been sent by us to the Blood Demon Dao, a domain populated by misguided Demon Cultivators who harbor deep hostility against our Celestial Palace."

"Once they appear, they will definitely face siege."

"There's no need for Qi Wu, Qian Yan, and Fan Lei to stir things up secretly; Jiang Cheng will naturally find himself in dire straits."

"Hahaha, brilliant, brilliant!"

After expressing satisfaction with their handiwork, the Divine Monarchs headed back home contentedly.

As for Brother Cheng, unknowingly sent to the Blood Demon Dao, he was unaware of his current location.

But he's not foolish.

Looking around at his group, excluding the Emperor Pill Masters, everyone else is accounted for; it can't be described as mere coincidence.

It's clearly the result of deliberate behind-the-scenes machinations.

But seeing through without exposing it, he jokingly teased the Three-Eyed Tiger instead.

"Where's the imperial treatment you mentioned, bro?"

"In this desolate wilderness, not a single person here to welcome us!"

The Three-Eyed Tiger surveyed the surroundings, sensing the dense Demon Qi much stronger than elsewhere, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

He's already identified this place as the Blood Demon Dao, a territory occupied by Bloodthirsty Demon Cultivators.
