Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"Old Ghost, what are you thinking? We clearly have the upper hand, why would you agree to Zhan Xingzi's terms and call for a temporary truce?"

Above the Red Sea, a massive island abruptly rose from the water.

Creating an island out of thin air is hardly a difficult feat for a Fruit Realm Practitioner. After the truce, Blood Dragon Son slightly employed his magic and thus formed the now several thousand mu large Blood Dragon Island, crafting it into our base.

At this moment, he was dissatisfied, questioning the Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch.

"Blood Dragon Son, don't be impatient. Since this time we have driven the Heavenly Star Sect and the Moon Concealing Sect into a corner, we have already achieved our goal, let us not be too hasty."

"Zhan Xingzi, an old Taoist whose life span isn't much longer, do you really want to fight him to the death?"

The Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch smiled gracefully and leisurely, chuckling as he took out a bottle of wine that resembled the color of plasma,

"Come, old friend, this is the finest Myriad Spirit Blood Wine from my collection, try it out!"

"Shi Kedun, be honest with me, what exactly are you scheming? Since we are allies, there are some matters I don't like to be kept in the dark about."

"I understand you, you are by no means someone who fears death. Others call me a madman, but I know, you are much crazier inside than I am."

Blood Dragon Son took the crystal cup, did not taste it, but placed it on the table and continued to stare at the Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch questioning him.

"Hey, Blood Dragon Son, since we are speaking to this point, let me ask you, have you ever thought about what we should do after the ancestors revive?"

Seeing how persistent Blood Dragon Son was, the Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch sighed and also put down his glass.

"You... Shi Kedun, what are you thinking?" Blood Dragon Son suddenly widened his eyes and spoke, his voice deepening as he waved his hands to lay down nine barriers enveloping the room before stopping.

"Hehe, Blood Dragon Son, stop deceiving yourself, don't you dare say you haven't thought about this before?"

"We and the patriarchs walk the same path, no matter if we have other intentions or not, as long as we possess the strength to rebel, do you think the patriarchs would allow a being who might replace them to freely roam before their eyes day after day?"

"Since you pushed me to reveal my cards today, let's be more honest, and you should also drop that reckless disguise."

The Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch's lips curled into a faint smile, but a chilly glint flashed through his eyes, "Blood Dragon Son, I have said, we are friends!"

"Now that we dominate and call the shots in the Ancient Star Realm, living carefree days, are you really happy having an old ancestor looming over your head?"

"And even... If the old ancestor harbors ill intentions, what should we do?"

Upon hearing the words of the Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch, Blood Dragon Son had an inner conflict, falling into a long silence, before finally lifting his head to speak: "Then what do you suggest we do to keep the upper hand?"

"Alright, since we've talked this far, I won't hide it anymore, Blood Dragon Son, we must be of one heart on this matter, otherwise neither of us will benefit."

"Since the revival of the Heavenly Ghost Dao Fruit and Blood Demon Dao Fruit is inevitable, we must provide an explanation to the revived ancestors."

"Today's battle is the credential we submit."

"As for the reason for ceasing today's action, of course, it's sufficient, the enemy's might is great, so we'll play along, sending those cannon fodder and the cultivators from East Continent for a bloodbath."

"After all, these useless beings, whether a thousand, ten thousand, or a million die, it's just a number, what can it affect us?"

"I never lied about what I told Zhan Xingzi before, we are the big picture."

"The reason I have already thought through, the more cultivators that die, the more blood flows, the more the Yin evil and Blood Sin killing aura in the world, the faster the Heavenly Ghost Dao Fruit and Blood Demon Dao Fruit will revive."

The Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch lifted his glass leisurely and savored a sip of the fine wine, continuing to smile,

"Old friend, do you really want to fight Zhan Xingzi to the death? If you were so adamant, you wouldn't have agreed that day,

You are also afraid that old Taoist Zhan Xingzi might go mad. Even if we join forces and kill him, his death could still leave us with an indelible injury from the Dao Fruit, so what are we doing all this for?

Blood Dragon Son, you understand this is the best arrangement, today you came to demand justification from me, are you treating me like a pig, trying to splash the dirty water on me in advance to leave an excuse for yourself to explain to the old ancestors?"

"Old friend, I have never underestimated you, you have— the face of a pig, but a sonorous heart inside!

How could a true fool possibly dominate the Red Sea and stand alongside me, Shi Kedun, in and out of the mountains and seas?"

"So, who is truly keeping secrets from whom now? All the bad deeds are done by me, you want to remain untainted, do you think I am one of the pigs under your control?"

The Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch faced Blood Dragon Son whose face was full of embarrassed smiles, his own smile growing colder.

"Ah... Old Ghost, no, Old Shi, don't be angry, actually, I also have reservations about the ancestor's return, without a plan, so according to your opinion, shall we continue as we are doing now, keep dragging this on?"

Blood Dragon Son was exposed by the Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch; he stopped pretending and started explaining and asking with a forced laugh.

"Of course, when we met that day, don't tell me you didn't understand the implications of my words."

"As time cuts down the mighty, let us just consume the old Taoist Priest Zhan Xing and moreover, isn't the Heavenly Star Sect now using some method to weaken the ancestors' strength? It's not entirely a bad thing for us if the ancestors retain too much strength."

Besides, Zhan Xingzi, that old Taoist Priest, is not easy to deal with; we are in our prime, why should we desperately struggle with an old man who's practically buried in the ground."

The Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch had a deep and unfathomable look but stopped there, without further elaboration.

"Haha, old ghost... no, Old Shi, talking to you is refreshing; let's do it this way!"

After Blood Dragon Son left, the room suddenly fell into silence.

The Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch picked up the Myriad Spirit Blood Wine on the table and began to drink it voraciously, with the spilled wine dripping down his chin like bloodstains.

"Great wine!"

With a loud bang, the Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch heavily placed the crystal cup back on the table!

No one knows how ambitious Shi Kedun is!

A bunch of idiots, an ancestor silent for countless years expects Shi Kedun to run around everywhere, to try to revive them, and end up as a dog?

What a joke!

No one knows the sheer joy in his heart when he originally received the warning of the Heavenly Ghost Dao Fruit, bearing the message that the source of the ancestors' strength was waning.

If he isn't mistaken, it must have been a secret manoeuvre by Wan Xingzi, an ancestor of the Heavenly Star Sect before he went silent.

Not vanishing earlier, not later, just at this time!

If the All Stars Dao Fruit really had such strength, why didn't it act earlier? It must be because the All Stars Dao Fruit was also getting damaged while eroding the ancestors' foundation; a loss for both sides indeed!

Thinking of this, the Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch licked the 'bloodstain' at the corner of his mouth, a fierce smile flashing across his face, his features morphing abruptly—half into a Yaksha, half into a Hunger Ghost!

"Ancestors, you never saw this coming!"

"I was born different, even devouring my elder brother from the same womb before birth; due to mistakes, I became a fierce spirit with two souls and unexpectedly condensed two Dao Fruits, Yaksha Dao Fruit, and the other one is—Hunger Ghost Dao Fruit!"

"Yaksha Dao Fruit is indeed not as powerful as the ancestral Heavenly Ghost Dao Fruit; it's merely a side branch. But if added with a unique Hunger Ghost Dao Fruit, I wonder if Shi Kedun could now swallow dragons!"

"A little weaker, just be a bit weaker... hehe... kekeke..."

Laughing like a madman, the Ghost Worship Sect Hierarch, unbeknownst to others, had already secretly condensed dual Dao Fruits, and not only that, but he had also elevated the Hunger Ghost Dao Fruit to the Fourth Layer Realm.

As long as the plan succeeds, screw those so-called ancestors, Shi Kedun is the real ancestor, his Yaksha Dao Fruit can transform into the Heavenly Ghost Dao Fruit, and the Hunger Ghost Dao Fruit can benefit and ascend from it!

After all, the ancestors were only weakened at their power origin; the quality of their strength remained extremely high.

"What a wonderful future!"

"For now, I'll let you live a bit longer! My beloved... fools."

....

....

"Hey, little Tiger Demon, you want to follow me!"

"Calling me 'ancestor' serves no purpose; these days, there are plenty who backstab their leaders and take care of their leaders' wives."

"Your previous leader's body is still warm, and you're saying you'll follow me; you from Ghost Worship Sect and True Blood Sect, not a single one of you values loyalty!"

"Go die!"

With a flash of halberd light, a fine head fell to the ground.

Yi Chen once again ambushed and killed an elite of the True Blood Sect,

He stripped the Magic Artifact from the body of the little Tiger Demon, put it on himself, and began patrolling the mountain nonchalantly.
