Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Cloud Demon King

Due to the disappearance of Saint Heir Xue Wuya, the trial in the Dark Abyss was abruptly terminated.

The news quickly spread, undoubtedly causing a huge uproar within the entire Blood God Sect.

The Saint Heir holds a revered position within the Blood God Sect, destined to be the future Sect Hierarch.

Yet, he perished within the Dark Abyss.

This was a significant event.

Moreover, not only did the Saint Heir disappear, but there was also another explosive news item.

It was that one of the Five Great Guardian Dharma Kings, the Heavenly Nether King, and the Great Elder were remnants of the Blood Demon Venerable, labeled as traitors by the Blood Empress and had already been suppressed and executed.

The execution of two Sealing King Realm powerhouses was a severe blow to the Blood God Sect, undoubtedly shaking its very foundation.

However, from another perspective, it also demonstrated the thunderous methods of the Blood Empress.

Even two Sealing King Realm powerhouses, as long as they offended the Blood Empress, faced nothing but a dead end.

Moreover, after the execution of the Heavenly Nether King, the Blood Empress quickly promoted a new Sealing King Realm powerhouse, named Cloud Demon King, to replace the Heavenly Nether King.

Where did this Cloud Demon King come from?

At this time.

Inside Tianming Island.

The Heavenly Nether King was executed, and logically, his disciples and those closely associated with him should have been purged.

However, at the suggestion of Lin Yi, Old Demon Yun Long had spared them.

Of course, this was not because Lin Yi was kind-hearted.

Rather, these disciples of the Heavenly Nether King could still be of use if they were brought under control again.

After all, figures like Black Dragon and Xue Qiangwei were forced to obey the Heavenly Nether King only because he had administered Netherworld Blood Poison upon them; their feelings of mentorship toward the Heavenly Nether King were likely more of resentment.

With just a slight shift in strategy, they could bring all of the Heavenly Nether King’s former subordinates into their fold.

However, these affairs were handled by Old Demon Yun Long.

Upon returning to Tianming Island, Lin Yi began his closed-door cultivation, refining the Netherworld King Pill.

Now that the Heavenly Nether King was dead and the Netherworld King Mark had naturally lost its effectiveness, Lin Yi could refine it with peace of mind.

The potency of the Netherworld King Pill was extraordinary; after refining it, Lin Yi’s cultivation had advanced further, reaching the Seventh Level of the True Master Realm.

After finishing his cultivation, Lin Yi stepped out of the great hall where he resided.

Upon exiting, he saw Old Demon Yun Long training the nine disciples of the Heavenly Nether King.

"Have seen Brother Chen Feng."

The nine major disciples of Tianming Island bowed to Lin Yi at the moment they saw him.

Lin Yi, originally the tenth disciple of the Heavenly Nether King, had not been regarded highly by them, but now after the rise of Cloud Demon King, he had been directly promoted to be the senior disciple of Tianming Island, ranking above all of them.

Although they felt frustrated internally, since this was the decision of Cloud Demon King, they dared not express any objections.

Now, upon seeing Lin Yi, they could only respectfully address him as Senior Brother.

Lin Yi simply nodded slightly, then approached Old Demon Yun Long, "How is it? Have you found any leads on the whereabouts of the Bloodthirsty Demoness?"

During this time, Lin Yi had not been idle; though he was in closed-door cultivation, he had entrusted Old Demon Yun Long with the task of searching for the Bloodthirsty Demoness.

However, Old Demon Yun Long shook his head and said, "The whereabouts of the Bloodthirsty Demoness are top secret within the Blood God Sect."

"Old I have only found out that she is in closed-door cultivation somewhere within the Blood God Sect."

"As for the specific location, I’m afraid only the Blood Empress knows."

Lin Yi furrowed his brow upon hearing the words, for even Old Demon Yun Long failed to discern the whereabouts of the Bloodthirsty Demoness, suggesting that perhaps only the Blood Empress knew.

He stopped dwelling on the matter of the Bloodthirsty Demoness and hurried toward the Blood God Palace.

The selection battle for the next Saint Heir was to be held at Blood God Palace.

Furthermore, it was said that there were quite a few formidable rivals there.

...

Outside the Blood God Palace,

a large number of young elites from the Blood God Sect had already gathered.

They were all clustered around Holy Daughter Shangguan Xin Yan,

courting her eagerly.

Previously, while Saint Heir Xue Wuya was still around, even if they fancied the Holy Daughter, they dared not show it overtly.

But now, it was different. With Xue Wuya dead in the Dark Abyss, they had no reservations and boldly showcased themselves in front of Xin Yan, aiming to catch the attention of the esteemed Holy Daughter.

However, Shangguan Xin Yan merely adopted a perfunctory attitude, as she interacted with the young elites of the Blood God Sect; her gaze occasionally drifting into the distance.

It seemed she was waiting for someone.

Soon, a figure appeared within her line of sight—it was Lin Yi!

"That guy named Chen Feng has arrived!"

The moment Lin Yi reached outside the Blood God Palace, someone recognized him.

"Chen Feng? Who is Chen Feng?"

"Brother Peng Lie, you’ve been away on training for years. Naturally, you wouldn’t know. Recently, a very formidable newcomer emerged in our sect, and the likes of Xue Wushang, Jue Xin, and Evil Feng have all been defeated by him."

The gazes of all the young elites from the Blood God Sect converged onto Lin Yi.

Most of the young elites looked at Lin Yi with grave expressions, yet a Blood-clothed Young Master sneered, "Even if he has no rivals among the younger generation, what of it? All members of the Blood God Sect under the age of forty can partake in this Saint Heir selection."

"This kid is still too green; the chances of him seizing the position of Saint Heir are probably slim."

As these words spread, many of the young prodigies nodded slightly. Among this group, not to mention Chen Feng, there were many who were even stronger than the former Saint Heir, Xue Wuya!

"Brother Chen Feng."

Just as Lin Yi had arrived, Shen Qing also approached him.

"Sister Shen Qing."

Lin Yi cupped his hands toward her, his face revealing a trace of intrigue, "Are you here to vie for the position of Saint Heir as well?"

"Of course not,"

Shen Qing shook her head. "The position of Saint Heir is only open to male disciples. Being a woman, if I were to compete, it would be for the position of Holy Daughter."

Lin Yi stroked his chin, "So you’re here to watch today?"

"More or less."

Shen Qing nodded slightly, "This battle for the Saint Heir position has gathered the most powerful of the Blood God Sect’s young elites."

"Watching the prodigies duel is always beneficial."

Lin Yi nodded and then asked, "Then Sister Shen Qing, could you tell me about my opponents this time?"

"With your current strength, even among the older generation of disciples, there are scarcely any who can match you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing’s beautiful eyes slightly sharpened as she said, "Your main competitors this time are two individuals."

"One is called Pei Hong."

"The other is called Xu Tianlin."

"These two are outstanding figures among the former disciples of the Blood God Sect, and now, they have both risen to the rank of elders within the sect."
