Chapter 24  Let Loose and Destroy Them!

“You’re right. I was being impulsive and almost brought disaster to our sect.”

“I’ll light incense at the altar of the Heavenly Origin Saint and beg for his forgiveness.”

“I’ve been asleep too long… I nearly forgot the core beliefs of our sect!”

Daoist Chengang looked solemn—he now understood what Chu Tian meant.

Leave the Blood Corpse Demons alive and use them as scapegoats!

Even though the Ancient Star Sect knew the truth of the matter, for the sake of their reputation and dignity—and to avoid having their dark past exposed by the Holy Demon Mountain—they would surely turn a blind eye and pretend not to know!

With scapegoats in place, Holy Demon Mountain could not only destroy the Xuan You Sect, but also seize all of their resources. More importantly, on the surface, the attack would appear to be the work of the Blood Corpse Demons—what would it have to do with Holy Demon Mountain?

In secret, Holy Demon Mountain could use those resources to develop quietly and rapidly increase their strength.

The key principle?

One word–survive.

Caution in all things!

Eliminate every risk, and wipe out every potential threat—before it arises!

Chu Tian and Daoist Chengang were of one mind.

After some discussion, they decided to brand the remaining Blood Corpse Demons with slave seals and hand them over to the control of the Moonwatching Palace.

Once the seals were placed, the Moonwatching Palace Master controlled them and led them straight to the Xuan You Sect. The sect’s crisis was resolved—it was time to reap the rewards!

“Martial Uncle, I heard that Blood Corpse Demon say the Blood Corpse Ancestor was in the ninth stage of the Dao-Seeking Realm… What about True Spirit Martial Uncle and the others…?”

An elder, over 800 years old, spoke respectfully. He was deeply concerned about the Grand Palace Master and the Ancestor who had gone to attack the Blood Corpse Demon’s secret realm.

The ninth stage of the Dao-Seeking Realm was just one step away from perfection. In this Age of Decline, that was nearly the pinnacle of cultivation.

If he remembered correctly, True Spirit Daoist was only in the fourth stage of the Dao-Seeking Realm.

Facing the Blood Corpse Ancestor… would victory even be possible?

“Don’t worry,”

Daoist Chengang said with a relaxed smile. “Your Martial Uncle is far stronger than I am!”

“Stronger than Chengang Martial Uncle!?”

“Then True Spirit Martial Uncle’s cultivation must be…”

Gasp

“So the cultivation levels of our Holy Demon Mountain’s Martial Uncles are actually this terrifying!”

The elders were in awe, faces full of shock. Compared to their Martial Uncles, their own efforts at concealing strength were laughably shallow!

Uncle Chengang had reached the Dao-Seeking Realm and had secretly hidden the fact that he was already at the sixth stage. A huge surprise indeed.

Many elders quietly took mental notes. Once this ordeal was over, they would definitely go back and reread the Path of Caution left behind by the Heavenly Origin Saint!

Most of them had only hidden three or four minor realms—not nearly enough. From now on, they’d have to hide more!

The secret realm of the Blood Corpse Demon Clan was located three hundred thousand miles north of the Xuan You Sect. Thanks to the calculations of the Lord of the Samsara Palace, the location was quickly confirmed.

Led by the Grand Palace Lord, the powerful cultivators of the Holy Demon Mountain instantly tore open the entrance to the secret realm and charged inside.

Battle broke out immediately!

The Blood Corpse Demon Clan had already received word and were fully prepared for war. Although their numbers weren’t large, they still had about 150 members.

Including the Blood Corpse Demons below the Infant Transformation Realm, they numbered over 600 in total. Almost every elder from the Holy Demon Mountain had to face two or three Blood Corpse Demons of the same cultivation level. The battle was extraordinarily difficult!

As for the Lords of the Samsara Palace and other palace masters, each of them faced off against dozens of Blood Corpse Demons at their level!

The battle was brutal, and people were injured almost instantly. It must be said—even though the Blood Corpse Demon Clan had declined, their strength was still formidable. They had far more cultivators at the Heaven Evolution Realm than the Holy Demon Mountain appeared to have on the surface.

Upon closer count, they had dozens—approaching the scale of a typical Sacred Land faction. There were even six cultivators at the Dao Seeking Realm.

Above the secret realm of the Blood Corpse Demon Clan, the battlefield was in utter chaos. The True Spirit Daoist was fiercely clashing with the Blood Corpse Patriarch and five other Dao Seeking Realm Blood Corpse Demons!

The battle between seven Dao Seeking cultivators tore open rifts in the very sky. The entire secret realm trembled violently, riddled with dense cracks.

This was not the ancient stronghold of the Blood Corpse Demon Clan, but a later construction—unable to withstand the battle power of seven Dao Seeking Realm cultivators!

“Disciples of the Holy Demon Mountain, listen to my command!”

“Lift your seals, unleash your cultivation, and fight with all you’ve got!”

Facing six Dao Seeking Realm Blood Corpse Demons without losing ground, the True Spirit Patriarch let out a low shout. At once, his cultivation—already at the eighth level of the Dao Seeking Realm—soared even higher.

Under the shocked gaze of the Blood Corpse Patriarch and the others, his cultivation surged straight to the Dao Seeking Realm’s peak!

He even emitted a sacred aura—as if he could step into the realm of the Holy Sovereign at any moment!

“Impossible! This is impossible!”

The Blood Corpse Patriarch was nearly driven mad. He had thought the True Spirit Daoist was only at the fourth level of the Dao Seeking Realm.

Then during the fight, he rose to the sixth level, then the eighth and now he had outright revealed himself to be at the peak of the Dao Seeking Realm!

“Patriarch, what should we do?”

The five Dao Seeking Blood Corpse Demons were terrified, their legs trembling as they looked toward their patriarch.

“There’s no retreat—follow me!”

“We have the numbers. Even if he’s at the peak of the Dao Seeking Realm, he can’t swallow us all at once!”

The seven of them clashed again, and the Blood Corpse Demon secret realm shook even more violently. In the sky, thunder and lightning raged. Below the ground, battle cries shook the heavens!

“Did you hear your martial uncle? Remove the seals! Annihilate them!”

The Lord of the Samsara Palace roared, his aura—previously at the second level of the Heaven Evolution Realm—suddenly skyrocketed to the eighth level!

“This lord doesn’t believe this!”

The Lord of the Samsara Palace faced off against ten Blood Corpse Demons at the second and third levels of the Heaven Evolution Realm.

Now, with his unleashed power, the aura he displayed almost scared the ten of them out of their wits. This old man had actually concealed six entire levels of cultivation!
