Chapter 503: Chapter 250: Blood-robed Saintess (2)

Yun’er frowned upon hearing this. These explicit lines, she didn’t know where the owner of the boat had heard them from, but he liked to hum them from time to time. Luckily, outsiders usually didn’t have a chance to hear it, otherwise, she’d feel embarrassed.

"Additionally, there’s another matter. Bai Xiaosheng sent the latest intelligence from his side, complaining at the end about being beaten and labeled as Shangguan’s lapdog. He hopes the organization can help guide public opinion to clear his name, otherwise, it would be hard to sell new books in the future."

Madam Yinhe frowned, "That useless waste, handle it yourself."

Bai Xiaosheng felt wronged. He clearly didn’t create the rumors, yet the blame was all placed on him.

But in Yinhe’s eyes, if he hadn’t intentionally written those suggestive words, such trouble wouldn’t have arisen, almost leading Tianxu back to the Mist Traveling Boat along this line.

If it weren’t for the fact that this guy could indeed bring revenue to the sect every year, Madam Yinhe would not just demote him but kick him out to fend for himself.

-------------------

On Chu Xuan’s side, after resting for about a month, he was setting out again.

Although Shangguan Yu probably wouldn’t rashly come to kill him, he didn’t have the time to indulge in pleasure in the Demon Sect for years, with many things waiting to be done.

Over the past month, the Profound Celestial Sect has been "debunking rumors" while frequently sending envoys to the three righteous sects, trying to persuade them to unite and attack the Li’an Demon Sect.

But what’s interesting is, the current timing is when natural disasters are rampant.

Given that the Celestial Alliance has expressed no intention of expanding the war, stating that it’s solely a personal vendetta between the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable and Shangguan Yu, and that there won’t be any expansion of power in the short term, the three righteous sects were not swayed by the Profound Celestial Sect, only offering verbal support, including their closest ally, the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion.

With these three sects making their stance clear, the smaller sects would naturally follow their lead.

Except for a few sects intending to curry favor with the Profound Celestial Sect, most sects chose to wait and see, or watch the tigers fight from the mountain, hoping they would both suffer and give them a chance to take advantage.

As for allying with the demon faction... The previous event at Gui Xu Grotto Heaven already drew unfavorable attention; if the Profound Celestial Sect dared to openly join forces with the likes of Mo Luo Palace, they’d likely face internal division first.

In the short term, Chu Xuan need not worry about his base being surrounded. If a crisis arose, he would naturally return to aid.

At this moment, Pei Shurou held onto Chu Xuan, her face full of reluctance, biting her lip with tears reddening her eyes, "Don’t go, okay?"

Chu Xuan gently stroked her long hair, coaxing, "Be good, we’ve already agreed on this, haven’t we?"

Qingqing looked at her with disdain, "How old are you still crying like this? Do you think pretending to be pitiful is impressive?"

Pei Shurou ignored her, or perhaps that was her "tactic." Unless truly angered, she directly ignored Qingqing, pretending she didn’t exist.

This point made Qingqing very angry with her.

It was only after Chu Xuan criticized Pei Shurou for this that she slightly restrained herself, but her attitude towards Qingqing was like dealing with junior members in the sect, always with a somewhat superior air.

Even at critical moments like the present, she would still disregard Qingqing’s "taunts."

After coaxing this "baby," Chu Xuan turned to hug Qingqing, whispering intimate words to her.

Qingqing’s tone also carried reluctance, "Come back soon. We have to work hard to have our children. You promised ten or eight, you can’t break your promise."

Chu Xuan chuckled, "I didn’t promise you that, did I? Clearly, you said you wanted to make it up to me."

"I don’t care, you promised me anyway." Qingqing pouted, standing on tiptoe to peck his lips lightly.

Chu Xuan lowered his head, responding to her~

Pei Shurou, wiping her tears, felt somewhat displeased at this scene. She knew that Qingqing’s cultivation was lower, making pregnancy more probable than for her. Despite having tried numerous times with Chu Xuan in the past, she never conceived even once.

Fortunately, Pei Shurou wasn’t too fond of children either, believing they would affect her relationship with Chu Xuan. She only wanted him, nothing more...

"Xiao Xue" stood by, watching coldly, thinking unkindly: Let you be arrogant for a while. Yet, who besides me can follow Chu Xuan around everywhere?

And so, Chu Xuan bid farewell to the two, took the proud Xiao Xue by the hand, and flew into the sky.

This time, he was off to destroy an organization acting under the guise of the "Blood-robed Sect," which had dared not come forward after the Celestial Alliance was established to "reunite."

According to Yao Yufei’s conjecture, this ragtag faction was bait to lure Chu Xuan out.

But the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes. No one expected Chu Xuan to suddenly have no relation to Celestial Evil, and the genuine Celestial Evil was not only terrifyingly strong but also began rebuilding the Celestial Alliance shortly.

This left the organization in an extremely awkward position. Go to the Demon Sect to reunite with Celestial Evil? Do not jest, lest they get slapped to death by the real one.

Chu Xuan had not had the time to deal with them before, now that he had some leisure, the first thing to do was to address this.

He even suspected that the Saintess was an old acquaintance of his, with this trip also to verify just that.

...

The stronghold of the "Blood-robed Sect" was located in the Red Cloud Source, one of the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands, situated in the Southern Territory.

This was once the mountain gate of the Blood-robed Sect but had long since been taken over by a mid-sized sect. After rallying this group of bandits, they snatched others’ territories, annexing other sects. The methods were truly vicious.

Yet, this also indicates that although it is a patchwork organization, it must host significant formidable power to seize a fortress others have cultivated for years.

With Meiren’s speed, Chu Xuan and his party arrived here within just a few days.

Looking around, they saw red clouds floating in the sky above the blessed land, bathing the sunset in a bloody hue — a magnificent sight.

Yao Yufei had long advised Chu Xuan that when dismantling this phony, he should do it ostentatiously to set a precedent and deter others.

As for being a bit more ruthless, Chu Xuan would only kill, not torture.

Chu Xuan let go of Xiao Xue’s hand, as a blood-red glow emerged. The Blood God Mask, Blood God Armor, and Night Cloak reappeared, adorning him.

An aura unique to the Blood God radiated fiercely from him in all directions, enveloping the entire blessed land, making countless cultivators anxious with impending doom.

Chu Xuan’s voice, cold and domineering, echoed, "Blood-robed Sect? Your Sect Leader has arrived, why don’t you come out to greet me?!"

This thunderous voice made the sect interior tremble; the true master had come knocking!

The entire sect was thrown into chaos; some knelt begging for mercy, others fled desperately, while some deeply regretted not leaving earlier, dragged until the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable came personally; some even casually looted resources...

After speaking, Chu Xuan was about to deliver a heavy blow as a warning, yet the scene before him made him frown.

The Mountain Protection Array? Is there really none?

He had thought their array was well-hidden, but it seemed, after their siege, they were unwilling to spend resources to build another.

Moreover, these cultivators’ response was even more miserable than Chu Xuan expected, truly akin to a bunch of worms, seemingly without a leader. Could they have already fled?

Just as the blood light in his hand silently gathered, a surprised voice suddenly erupted from the main peak:

"Great-grandfather! You finally came for me."

With the voice, a blood light flew rapidly, directly into Chu Xuan’s arms.

However, Chu Xuan’s expression was extremely strange, even the blood light in his hand dissipated, "What did you call me?"
