Chapter 700: Chapter 370 Xuezhi Tu, Taikun Abandons a Piece_2

The strength equivalent to a top Immortal Heavenly Venerable, there were only three such Immortal Heavenly Venerables in the entire Qinghua state.

They were the Emperor Da Yue, the Myriad Thunder Sect Master, and the Tianwu Clan Master!

And these three persons could not spare themselves to leave.

Da Yue Country was in danger!

Once this realization struck the powerful of Qi Yun County, the number of defectors grew. One True King Heavenly Venerable after another pledged allegiance to Xuezhi Tu.

More True King Heavenly Venerables fell in battle.

Every True King Heavenly Venerable that pledged allegiance was turned into a Netherworld Blood Disciple by Xuezhi Tu using the Netherworld Artifact, granting them the breath of the Netherworld.

Their first task after pledging allegiance was to conduct blood sacrifices in Qi Yun County, collecting more blood essence for Xuezhi Tu!

Due to the slow spread of information, by the time the Evergreen Pavilion received the news, Qi Yun County would probably already be a wasteland!

The Prefecture City of Qi Yun County was now dead silent, only a faint blood aura lingered in the city.

On the highest tower of the former City Lord’s mansion stood a young man with a pallid face, save for a small red pattern on his brow.

Xuezhi Tu!

Behind him, more than thirty people were prostrate in respect. Among them, seven had eyes as blood-red as crimson, no longer mere Blood Shadows, but Blood Disciples.

These thirty-odd people were all True King Heavenly Venerables.

“Allying with this Xuezhi was your wise decision, now your task is, each of you, to conduct blood sacrifices on at least ten million Martial Artists.

“Whoever completes the task first will be the first Blood Disciple under this Xuezhi. Once this Xuezhi ascends to Blood Spirit, they will be a candidate for Blood Child.

“Remember, your time is limited, this Xuezhi needs to gather enough blood essence in a short period to ascend to Blood Spirit.

“Once this Xuezhi ascends to Blood Spirit, you will all be greatly rewarded.”

Xuezhi Tu’s tone was gentle, as if discussing something very ordinary.

“Yes, my lord!”

Over thirty True King Heavenly Venerables responded respectfully.

“Mm, go!”

Xuezhi Tu waved his hand, and in front of each person appeared a small bottle, scarlet in color, emanating a blood aura. The bottle’s mouth seemed to have a suction force capable of devouring blood essence.

Blood Refining Bottle!

Watching the figures depart, Xuezhi Tu displayed a gentle smile, standing atop the tall building, overlooking this deathly still great city, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

“Finally took this step, next is to become a Blood Spirit. Once successful, I will be a great contributor to the Netherworld.

“Surely, I will earn the admiration of the Blood Lord himself, who will accept me as a disciple. Only by becoming a Blood Path Successor can I rid myself of the lowly status of a slave.”

In the eyes of Blood Slaves and Blood Disciples, the Xuezhi stood high, revered, and powerful.

However, Xuezhi Tu knew that even a Xuezhi was merely a slave, ready to become consumed as nourishment at any time.

Only by becoming a Blood Path Successor could one truly escape the identity of a slave.

“Taicang Domain, worthy of being the foremost domain indeed.”

Xuezhi Tu muttered to himself, knowing he had backing. This trip to Qinghua state was to pave the way for himself.

To become a Blood Path Successor.

With a command from Xuezhi Tu, Qi Yun County immediately faced catastrophe, the pledged True King Heavenly Venerables turned into Blood Disciples, were killing and blood sacrificing everywhere.

Sounds of battle, curses echoed across Qi Yun County, one True King after another fell or was gravely wounded and fled.

In just a few days, Qi Yun County became a hell on earth, city after city turned into silence, only a faint blood aura lingering.

Xia Shan City, within Qi Yun County, was a small city, and in the whole of Da Yue Country, it was a rural small town.

Since Xia Shan City wasn’t near the Netherworld Cave, it had always been relatively peaceful, with no great strength.

The strongest was merely one, who had participated in the Netherworld Cave Great War, and was in the late Condensation Law Realm.

Even so, they held some prestige in Xia Shan City, even the City Lord respected them somewhat.

News of the change in Qi Yun County had not yet reached here, being a small city, information transmission was relatively slow.

Not far from the gate of Xia Shan City, a young man sat leaning against the city wall, like someone waking from a drunken stupor, opening his blurry eyes.

“It’s evening again? I can see the beautiful view of Xia Shan once more.”

He muttered to himself, forcibly roused his spirits, raised his head, yawned, and stared at the mountain peak outside Xia Shan City.

The setting sun bathed the peak in red, giving Xia Shan its name.

A Martial Artist hurried into Xia Shan City, with panic in their eyes, and soon after, a message spread throughout Xia Shan City.

The great disaster of Qi Yun County was upon them, a Blood Child was born in Qi Yun County, and True King Heavenly Venerables pledging allegiance to Xuezhi Tu were slaughtering and conducting blood sacrifices on Martial Artists.

Xia Shan City was in a panic.

“Leave Qi Yun County!”

A loud shout echoed, it was the first strongman of Xia Shan City, Tang Qian’s voice. With his prestige and having participated in the suppression of the Heavenly Grotto War, with one shout, the people of Xia Shan City seemed to find their backbone.

They hurriedly prepared to flee Qi Yun County, hoping that before the disaster struck, Xia Shan City, this small town, would not draw attention and allow them to escape smoothly.

“Too late.”

Mumbled the young man sitting at the foot of the city wall, listlessly.

Boom!

A mighty aura descended, blood light illuminating, a True King arrived.

“Mountain True King, is it you? Why?”

Tang Qian’s voice rose in disbelief.

Mountain True King, one of the top ten True King Heavenly Venerables in Qi Yun County.

He had actually pledged allegiance to Xuezhi Tu!

Mountain True King expressionlessly looked at Tang Qian and said: “Considering you once served under me, I’ll spare your life if you surrender and become a Blood Slave under my command!”

Tang Qian’s eyes suddenly turned blood-red, he roared: “Mountain Dog, if you want to be the Netherworld’s dog, don’t drag me in!

“I, Tang Qian, will never commit betrayal, even if I die.

“If you want to blood sacrifice Xia Shan City, kill me first!”

With an angry roar, Tang Qian’s aura surged, and in an instant, he utilized his bottom-storage secret technique and attacked Mountain True King.

He knew he was doomed, but he was unafraid. Tang Qian understood that once betrayed and transformed into a Blood Disciple, they were bloodthirsty and Xia Shan City couldn’t be saved!

Puff!

Tang Qian died.

Mountain True King was expressionless, looking at Xia Shan City, murmuring: “After blood sacrificing here, I’ll have enough of a million, I should be the first to complete the task.”

“Desperate fight!”

In Xia Shan City, all the Condensation Law Venerables roared at that moment, directly burning their blood essence, charging at Mountain True King.

“Don’t waste your blood essence like that.”

Mountain True King was expressionless, raising his hand, he suppressed the attacking Condensation Law Venerables, a small bottle absorbed all the blood essence of these Condensation Law Venerables.

“Now it’s your turn!”

Looking at all the fearful, crying, and pleading people in the city, Mountain True King’s expression didn’t waver in the slightest, blood light shone down, and the small bottle grew larger, about to commence blood refining.

Suddenly, he paused and looked at the young figure standing up below the city wall.

The young man shook his head and slammed it against the city wall, finally even drawing out a dagger and stabbing it into his own shoulder.

The intense pain made him shift from a sluggish state to one more focused.

Quietly, he drew out a Long Spear, looked up at Mountain True King, and with a wry smile, said: “I thought I had no compassion left, indifferent to everything, but when I see people walking to their deaths, hearing the cries of babies, and the fearful screams of children calling out to parents.

“My heart softened, and I feel like stepping in once, even if I’ve become useless. Dying for saving a city, is it the last value of a useless person?”

The young man spoke every word, step by step ascending to the sky, the Long Spear emanated light, gathering sharp killing intent.

Meanwhile, a powerful force of Divine Soul swept across the surroundings, as if stirring up a storm.

Mountain True King watched him, silently drawing out a scarlet long knife, his expression becoming solemn.

“Rumor was that in Taikun Realm Jiang Clan, there was once a noble-born genius, whose Divine Soul was extraordinary, with great strength, reputed as the youngest True King Heavenly Venerable of Taikun.

“But sadly, such a genius was crippled, expelled from Taikun, and thereafter vanished without a trace.

“If my guess is right, you’re the abandoned child of Taikun, the crippled genius, Jiang Buping!”

Jiang Buping paused briefly, then revealed a self-mocking expression, “Facing death, I am recognized. Useless is useless, but even as a waste, I am more honorable than a traitor like you.

“Today, let me, a crippled genius, meet this Qi Yun County’s top ten True King Heavenly Venerables!”

Boom!

A ferocious spear thrust, like a cold glint, traversing the sky towards Mountain True King.
