Chapter 1698: Chapter 1051: Turmoil in the Holy Land

A Divinity Transformation Cultivator, claiming to be the Blood Demon Sword Lord, has suddenly appeared within the area of influence of the Soul Locking Sect recently.

He claims that the current Divinity Transformation Cultivator in control of the Soul Locking Sect is not legitimate.

Only he, Blood Demon Sword Lord, is the legitimate leader of the Soul Locking Sect.

And the name Blood Demon Sword Lord is said to be the title of the sect leader from two generations ago.

With the spread of this news.

Both the cultivators of the Soul Locking Sect and other Demonic Cultivators were naturally in an uproar.

Because no one expected.

The Blood Demon Sword Lord would suddenly return after so many years of silence.

Of course.

There are indeed those who questioned this person’s identity and strength.

But as soon as the Blood Demon Sword Lord unleashed a strike, his overwhelming sword energy immediately wiped out several Nascent Soul Perfect Cultivators who had doubts about him.

Some cultivators who were initially skeptical naturally became convinced immediately.

With a casual sword strike, he was able to kill several powerful Nascent Soul Perfect Cultivators.

Such strength must undoubtedly belong to a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

And as a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, how could Blood Demon Sword Lord deceive them here?

Moreover, even if he were deceiving, if you don’t believe him, can you see the outcome of those Nascent Soul Perfect Cultivators?

Hence, after Blood Demon Sword Lord displayed his strength.

A considerable number of Demonic Nascent Souls quickly gathered around him.

These Demonic Nascent Souls, under the banner of supporting the legitimate Soul Locking Sect, rallied for the Blood Demon Sword Lord.

From then on.

The sudden return of the Blood Demon Sword Lord, the sect leader from generations past, and his claim that the current Soul Locking Sect Leader is not legitimate, spread instantly across the area of influence of the Soul Locking Sect.

A large number of Demonic Cultivators heard this news in a short time and made their own judgments.

Some Demonic Cultivators think that what the Blood Demon Sword Lord says must be true.

After all, being a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, how could he deceive these low-ranked cultivators?

However, some other Demonic Cultivators believe that the Blood Demon Sword Lord likely has grand ambitions, perhaps intending to regain control of the Soul Locking Sect and become the sect leader once again.

Otherwise, the Blood Demon Sword Lord could have merely returned—why act this way?

And others of the Demonic Cultivators quietly packed their bags, ready to flee this troubled place at any moment.

The confrontations between Divinity Transformation Cultivators are not something these low-ranked cultivators can involve themselves in.

No matter which side they assist, they may face consequences in the future.

Furthermore, even if they don’t help any side, staying here will eventually lead to getting swept up in the conflict.

Thus, as this message spread rapidly throughout the area of influence of the Soul Locking Sect.

The numerous Demonic Cultivators within this area began to panic accordingly.

And the Demonic Nascent Soul exchanging supplies with the Ghost Soul.

Is a Soul Locking Sect cultivator who had just received this news and was rushing overnight to transport war materials to the borderlands.

At this moment, in his drinking and chatting with the Ghost Soul, he appeared exceptionally conflicted.

Even he doesn’t know who truly is legitimate between the Blood Demon Sword Lord and the current sect leader of the Soul Locking Sect, nor whom he should heed.

And He Song also believes.

The conflict in this person’s heart is undoubtedly present in many other Soul Locking Sect cultivators as well.

Suddenly, two sect leaders appeared, and furthermore, the sect leader from previous generations claims the current sect leader is not legitimate.

Anyone in such a scenario would likely struggle to make a choice.

Is it choosing to aid the former sect leader, allowing him to regain control of the Soul Locking Sect, and win substantial rewards through this allegiance?

Or is it choosing to support the current sect leader, expelling the former sect leader from the Soul Locking Sect’s area of influence, or even killing him.

And relying on such loyalty to garner substantial rewards and elevate one’s status.

This kind of choice would be hard for anyone to make.

As for choosing neutrality...

Actually, whether within Righteous Tao or Diabolism, there is no real neutrality.

Because when two major forces are about to clash, they systematically purge all neutral parties to prevent them from siding with the opponent.

Thus, choosing to assist one side, even if that side ultimately fails.

At most, it would mean death.

Moreover, by joining any side, there’s still a chance of winning.

In such circumstances, should they truly triumph, they can naturally claim rewards for their contributions.

It can be said that despite the great risks, there’s always a chance to win.

And if choosing neutrality.

Then there truly is only a dead end.

Because before both sides begin their battle, neutral parties will be immediately cleaned out.

Forget about winning—dying with dignity isn’t even possible.

Under such circumstances, this choice naturally becomes a critical priority.

Because this matter undoubtedly concerns these people’s lives and properties.

However.

Upon He Song learning of this news.

A trace of doubt emerged in He Song’s heart.

Why did the Blood Demon Sword Lord, having just broken through to Divinity Transformation, eagerly jump out to confront the current leader of the Soul Locking Sect?

Surely, he’s not worried about potentially being outmatched and easily slain?

Could it be that he isn’t afraid that the opponent might gather other Divinity Transformation Cultivators to besiege him?

The Blood Demon Sword Lord’s strength, has it truly reached such a level?
