Chapter 190: The Confident Blood Demon True Person
Within the [Embracing Mountain].
"This [Blood Demon Island] is truly extraordinary. The suppressive force is immense; even Foundation Establishment True Persons can only fly and escape, finding it difficult to employ any teleportation techniques."
Ying Tongshou rode his escape light, surveying the surrounding environment.
Wherever his gaze landed, he saw towering mountain peaks, yet not a single human figure was in sight. Only the ground was littered with dried bones and various peculiar magical tools.
"Another one!"
Suddenly, Ying Tongshou reached out and grabbed, quickly retrieving a magical tool resembling a pagoda from the forest. Pale white smoke continuously wafted from the tower.
This acquisition made Ying Tongshou beam with joy. This was already the third magical tool he had obtained since entering the secret realm. Although such items were useless to a Foundation Establishment True Person like him, they were excellent for rewarding subordinates and winning hearts. After all, who would mind having an extra magical tool?
After a while, Ying Tongshou once again displayed an excited expression.
However, this time, a light flew in from the distance, colliding directly with him. Revealing its form, it turned out to be the Integration Realm cultivator, Lin Lao.
At the same time, within the perilous area meticulously crafted by Lü Yang, the [Soul-Scattering Valley].
Led by Mu Huan, five Integration Realm cultivators from the Immortal Alliance stood cautiously outside the valley, carefully collecting the [Soul-Scattering Spirit-Dispersing God-Stealing Smoke] within.
"These are all treasures."
Mu Huan sighed, "Even we, upon contact with this smoke, would have our souls bewildered. If we could refine it into a magical tool, its power would undoubtedly be formidable!"
Just then, a divine light descended from the sky.
As the radiance dissipated, Lü Yang's figure appeared. He glanced at Mu Huan and the others, then nodded in satisfaction. They had taken his treasure.
The cause and effect were established!
In the next moment, Lü Yang employed the Heaven-Deceiving Great Technique. The heavenly punishment force previously transferred to him by the Blood Demon True Person using the [Abi Sword] was now redirected to Mu Huan and the others through the cause and effect of the [Soul-Scattering Spirit-Dispersing God-Stealing Smoke]. Instantly, he felt his essence, energy, and spirit rejuvenated.
"What did you do!?"
On the other side, Mu Huan sternly questioned. Although he couldn't perceive the changes in cause and effect or the transfer of heavenly punishment force, his intuition sensed something amiss.
"What did I do?"
Lü Yang squinted his eyes upon hearing this, then displayed a righteous expression: "You all forcibly seized my magical tool and now question me about my actions?"
"Moreover, you people in the Biyang Cultivation World use all beings as materials, committing heinous crimes. Today, suffering heavenly punishment, I must act on behalf of the heavens, eliminate the strong, support the weak, and annihilate you demons!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Huan couldn't help but laugh in anger.
"Eliminate the strong and support the weak? We are merely overseas rogue cultivators. If you wish to eliminate the strong and support the weak, you should target that sword cultivator. Why come after us?"
Lü Yang shook his head, "Because he's too strong."
One should still pick the soft persimmons to squeeze.
Mu Huan was momentarily speechless, but as if recalling something, he looked at Lü Yang with a probing tone: "Are you a cultivator from the Primordial Saint Sect?"
"……"
How did he recognize that? Do I not look like a good person?
Lü Yang wore a helpless expression, then simply waved his hand;
"You know too much!"
Clang clang——!
The Abi Sword was summoned in mid-air, and as the sword light descended, Mu Huan and the others dared not confront it directly. They immediately attempted to flee, only to feel a tremendous pressure descending upon them.
[Embracing Mountain]!
In an instant, the suppressive force on Mu Huan and the others multiplied several times, causing their movements to stiffen abruptly. They could only watch helplessly as the sword light descended.
"Thud!"
The sword light circled around their necks, and the five Integration Realm cultivators instantly transformed into headless corpses, their true energy and flesh completely drained.
The excited sword cry of the Abi Sword echoed through the clouds. Lü Yang, witnessing this scene, nodded in satisfaction. In his previous life, twelve Integration Realm cultivators had helped the Abi Sword recover its second divine ability, [Treading Danger]. In this life, by killing them again, could he perhaps restore another divine ability?
With this thought, Lü Yang immediately extended his finger, drawing a divine light.
The light flickered, illuminating all the scenes within the [Embracing Mountain]. This was his innate divine ability, allowing him to fully grasp its changes.
Moreover, it was precisely because he manipulated things behind the scenes that everyone was forced to separate.
Otherwise, if everyone stayed together, he wouldn't have the opportunity to defeat them individually. Only by separating them could he hunt them down as he did now.
In the next moment, Lü Yang disappeared from his original spot.
Tonight, let the hunt be exhilarating!
At the center of the [Embracing Mountain], on the true [Blood Demon Island].
Deep within the [Blood Demon Island], inside a palace entirely constructed from white bones, lay a breathtakingly bizarre scene.
It was a tree of utmost eeriness.
The tree's roots were strands of flesh and blood, its bark resembled human skin, and the leaves on its trunk were pieces of bone, emitting sharp sounds as they swayed.
However, in the next moment, the tree suddenly underwent a new transformation. At the top of the canopy, a brilliantly red flower bloomed, then quickly withered, and suddenly bore fruit. Astonishingly, the fruit resembled a baby with limbs and closed eyes!
"Hmm, am I awake?"
The baby opened its eyes, and on its still undeveloped face, a visibly human-like expression of confusion appeared.
"Why so soon?"
According to his calculations, the heavenly punishment on him would require at least three more generations of sword masters to be distributed before he could recover to his current state.
But now, he had awakened early!
The heavenly punishment had also inexplicably lessened significantly.
"Could it be that I'm lucky, and this generation's [Abi Sword] master is favored by fortune, with profound merit, thus able to absorb more of the heavenly punishment?"
With this thought, he immediately began to sense the situation.
Soon, the just-awakened Blood Demon True Person opened his eyes, the baby's small eyes filled with deep confusion, appearing somewhat at a loss:
"Where is this place?"
"Why has my [Blood Demon Island] become so large?"
The Blood Demon True Person's frown deepened as he attempted to calculate cause and effect. However, Lü Yang had long used the Heaven-Observing Instrument to obscure the heavenly secrets, yielding no results.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly erupted:
"Boom!"
A brilliant sword aura charged into the [Blood Demon Island], revealing Ye Xingfeng, who was slashing his way directly toward the Blood Demon True Person!
"Something's wrong. I've been set up?"
The Blood Demon True Person's expression turned grim, instantly realizing he had been tricked. It seemed this generation's [Abi Sword] master was quite resourceful.
As a senior True Person of the Saint Sect, the Blood Demon True Person was no fool. A brief contemplation made Lü Yang's plan clear: to use others to eliminate him, thereby resolving the influence of heavenly punishment and severing cause and effect, while reaping the benefits from the conflict between others and himself.
"Truly inheriting the essence of our Saint Sect. Unfortunately, still too young!"
The Blood Demon True Person's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Daring to scheme against a True Person is truly overestimating oneself."
Even in his weakest state, not just anyone could manipulate him.
Because for a True Person, strength lies not only in power but also in identity and background!
Especially for a Saint Sect True Person like him, backed by a True Lord!
In such circumstances, who could kill him?
Precisely because of this, even with Ye Xingfeng already attacking, and knowing he had been schemed against, the Blood Demon True Person remained unflustered.
"As long as I release my own cause and effect, no longer concealing it, the Fortunate True Lord will immediately sense it. At that time, with the True Lord's intervention, saving me would be a breeze."
As for the Saint Sect junior's scheme?
Merely a laughingstock!
