Chapter 413: Chapter 411: Blood Demon (Seeking Subscription)_1

"What’s going on?"

Fang Xi had just flown a hundred li when suddenly he raised an eyebrow and looked in a certain direction behind him.

After breaking through the Heart Demon Tribulation, his Divine Consciousness had surged tremendously.

Now, not only could he see everything within a radius of a hundred li clearly, but he could also roughly sense situations even one or two hundred li away.

At this moment, he felt a terrifying fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from a certain direction.

"A battle between Nascent Soul old monsters?"

"It’s not just a battle; it’s so fierce that it’s reaching hundreds of li away... They’re fighting desperately!"

"They shouldn’t be coming for me, right? I can’t afford to provoke them... Time to slip away."

With that thought, Fang Xi immediately lifted the disguise of ’Master Qingyang’ and reverted to his ’Yun Jiezi’ appearance. His escape speed increased dramatically, and he fled the scene quickly using Nascent Soul-level speed.

...

At Lord Lingfeng’s Dongfu.

The ground revealed a deep pit, dark and seemingly bottomless.

In mid-air, dense green Wind Blades formed the shape of a sparrowhawk, with complex patterns constantly flickering on its wings.

From the sparrowhawk’s abdomen, a voice filled with immense resentment sounded, "Old Demon Qi Sha..."

"Lord Lingfeng... why are you not on your way yet?"

Demon Lord Qi Sha, wearing a dark golden robe with nine golden dragons swimming on it, dressed like an emperor from a secular dynasty, had a square and simple face, but his eyes shone with demonic light, giving off an eerie sensation.

He was a mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator with formidable magic power. He tossed a yellow bead into the air, and ant-sized talismans appeared within it, faintly forming a pattern, radiating a dim yellow radiance.

Hum!

As soon as the bead appeared, the world went suddenly still, as if even the breeze had completely vanished.

"The Wind-Controlling Bead?!"

Lord Lingfeng let out a scream as the gigantic Wind Blade sparrowhawk, upon being illuminated by the yellowish radiance, had its Wind Blades steadily dissipating...

Just then, a flash of blood-red light suddenly appeared!

From afar, the blood light looked like a gigantic crescent moon, slicing through the sparrowhawk at lightning speed, and the dark red Blood Qi on it seemed to carry a profound impurity. It instantly split the sparrowhawk in two.

In the sparkling brilliance, an old man holding a blood-red long sabre appeared, watching Lord Lingfeng with a cold, heinous smile: "Lord Lingfeng... an old friend has come specially to send you off!"

"Old Chi Laoguai!"

As the sparrowhawk dissipated, Lord Lingfeng’s chest revealed a vast wound, oozing fresh blood.

His face pale, he said, "And there’s another one, right? Come out, then..."

A yellow Escape Light appeared, revealing an unremarkable Nascent Soul old monster, holding a clay-colored bowl, seemingly forming an encircling stance with the other two.

"Good, good, good... Old Demon Qi Sha, Old Chi Laoguai, Old Demon... Green Leaf Commerce Association, Blood Sect, Seven Deadly Sins Hall!"

Lord Lingfeng looked at Demon Lord Qi Sha: "Sir has quite the talent for Possession Skills, so much so that even I failed to notice any clues."

"Thanks for the compliment, Lord... I just used a Demon Seed division technique to plant a Demon Seed in the heart of your sect’s disciple... When the Demon Seed hadn’t erupted, indeed, he still considered himself a disciple of the Mixed Origin Sect. Only upon coming into contact with your aura did the Demon Seed fully erupt, taking over everything. Otherwise, how could we have found you?"

Such Demon Seed division is akin to a special Divine Soul intention, not a split soul.

Therefore, even if he used a Secret Skill to self-destruct, Demon Lord Qi Sha wouldn’t care in the least.

"Enough..."

Lord Lingfeng’s eyes flickered: "I am willing to swear an oath on the Dao to cede Yuan Country to you..."

"That’s indeed a tempting proposition, one that might have moved me before the battle... Unfortunately, Mr. Chi doesn’t agree with such a suggestion. He insists on putting you to death."

Demon Lord Qi Sha let out a few cold, amused laughs. His demonic light intensified, and suddenly he clapped his hands together, rapidly chanting a few incantations.

A layer of blood clouds instantly swelled, enveloping miles around.

Lord Lingfeng’s face was as grim as water. Suddenly, he opened his mouth, and a green feather fan appeared in his hand—it was his personal spiritual treasure.

Suppressing his injuries through a Secret Skill, he barely gathered magic power and injected it into the spirit fan, fiercely fanning towards the blood clouds.

The green spiritual light shone brightly!

A pillar of green light emerged, plunging into the blood clouds, but quickly dissipated without a trace.

Seeing this, Lord Lingfeng was shocked and dismayed.

Meanwhile, from the left and right, two beams of light suddenly struck, with Old Chi Laoguai and the unremarkable Nascent Soul old monster battling Lord Lingfeng within the blood clouds.

Boom, boom, boom!

No matter how earth-shattering the battle was inside, the blood cloud was incredibly tough—merely churning a few times without being broken through.

Ultimately...

Bang!

Demon Lord Qi Sha showed an interested expression, accompanying a loud noise as the blood cloud was blasted open by a green light column, with countless green phantom feathers drifting down from the sky.

A flash of light!

A green Nascent Soul, identical to Lord Lingfeng and holding a miniaturized green feather fan, flashed before vanishing.

Appearing again, it was already hundreds of yards away.

It was indeed Lord Lingfeng’s Nascent Soul!

This person seemed to have self-destructed his physical body to finally escape the encirclement and attack of two fellow cultivators, and without any hesitation, he was about to use Instant Teleportation Skills successively to flee from the dangerous situation!

With his speed, it wouldn’t take long before he could instantly teleport dozens of miles away, completely leaving the battlefield.

"Sir has a resolute and decisive mind, Qi Sha admires that!"

Seeing this, Demon Lord Qi Sha let out a deep sigh, showing not a hint of anxiety.

Lord Lingfeng didn’t listen at all, and after a few instances of teleportation, he arrived several miles away.

Just as he was about to continue using his Secret Skills to swiftly escape the battlefield at the expense of his own source, his figure suddenly stiffened, and an expression of utmost horror surfaced on his young face.

Buzz!

A tiny Blood-colored Palace, with rings of bloodlight radiating outward, had somehow appeared above his head, enveloping the little Nascent Soul within.

Red beams of light pierced down like flying needles, burrowing into the Nascent Soul and causing Lord Lingfeng’s Magic Power to begin dissipating, leaving him no longer able to self-destruct in desperation.

Gradually... his expression also became bewildered.

"Capture!"

Demon Lord Qi Sha, seeing this, revealed a hint of satisfaction on his face as he cast Magic Spells into the tiny Blood-colored Palace.

Hiss!

A series of blood-red needles pierced into the body of the Nascent Soul, making Lord Lingfeng completely lose consciousness.

Seeing this, Demon Lord Qi Sha took out a pitch-black jade bottle, pulled out the stopper, and then chanted a few spells.

This jade bottle emitted a suction force, swallowing Lord Lingfeng’s Nascent Soul into it.

Snap!

Demon Lord Qi Sha’s hand seemingly moved slowly but was actually quick as he capped the bottle and sealed it with a Talisman.

As a ring of runes flickered, sealing the mouth of the bottle completely, he finally showed a hint of a smile.

"I didn’t expect..."

Old Demon Chi Laoguai, holding a long saber, looked at the Blood-colored Palace in Demon Lord Qi Sha’s hand, his face revealing an extremely wary look: "Demon Lord, for the sake of this Lord Lingfeng, you even brought out the Seven Deadly Sins Hall’s inherited treasure, the ’Blood Kill Hall’. This spiritual treasure, nurtured by generations of elders of the Seven Deadly Sins Hall, possesses infinite might, carries the Void Attribute, and can actually restrict the Nascent Soul’s instant teleportation. It really is an eye-opener, it’s just... why didn’t you directly destroy the Nascent Soul, making old Lingfeng perish both in body and spirit?"

"Mr. Blood Sect, don’t be anxious. I’m keeping this person’s Nascent Soul just to take it back for study, to attempt a soul search, that’s all."

Demon Lord Qi Sha said with a smile.

"We who practice the Cultivation Path cherish and protect our Nascent Souls, which are exceedingly difficult to invade with soul searching... The fact that Sir could accomplish this, your mastery of Demon Skills is truly inconceivable."

A yellow light flashed, and Old Demon appeared, carrying a bowl, and exclaimed in admiration.

"The Demon Skills of my hall naturally contain many mysteries. If Old Sir would like to join my hall, I can teach them all to you! How do you feel about that, Sir...?"

Demon Lord Qi Sha looked towards Old Demon, issuing an invitation.

"Thank you for your generous offer, but this old man has a pact with the founder of the Green Leaf Commerce Association, and I don’t wish to gain weight by breaking my word..."

Old Demon sighed: "Moreover... I have been practicing the Dry Earth Spell for many years, already sensing that my potential has been exhausted, and it’s difficult to advance further. Even if I learn some more Demon Skills and Secret Skills, I can’t break through the bottleneck to advance to the mid Nascent Soul stage and extend my lifespan... When fate arrives, isn’t it just a handful of yellow earth?"

For Nascent Soul cultivators, extending their lifespan is actually harder.

Many low-level Longevity Pills and Secret Skills were already ineffective for them.

Old Demon Chi Laoguai listened, but chuckled without saying anything.

He had recently advanced to the Nascent Soul and was not yet concerned about his lifespan.

"If you’re unwilling, then let it be... Nevertheless, would the two of you be willing to join me in another endeavor?"

Demon Lord Qi Sha suddenly invited.

"Act against whom?"

Old Demon Chi Laoguai’s eyes rolled, and Old Demon, although reluctant, dared not refuse outright.

"It’s the same ’Master Qingyang’ who I traded with earlier. His disguise was quite good, but the scent of the ’Resented Spirit Trace’ on him was absolutely impossible to hide. If it weren’t for an urgent matter at the time, I would have wanted to stop that person right then and there."

Demon Lord Qi Sha said indifferently.

"That person, is also a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Old Demon was shocked.

"Merely an early Nascent Soul stage... nothing more,"

Demon Lord Qi Sha answered nonchalantly: "With the ’Blood Kill Hall’, you don’t have to worry about him escaping by leaving his Nascent Soul. He won’t be able to come back and cause you trouble..."

’I heard that when Demon Lord Qi Sha was young, his Taoist Companion was eradicated by a cultivator of the Righteous Path, and since then he’s become moody and particularly loathes those who thoughtlessly slay disciples of the Demon Sect. It seems to be true...’ Old Demon pondered, but still didn’t want to take on the task.

At that moment, Demon Lord Qi Sha’s expression suddenly changed, and he smiled, "I’ve released a ’Footless Bird’ responsible for monitoring that person, and it has sent back a visual. Take a look!"

He slapped his Spirit Beast Bag, and a white bone bird flew out.

This bone bird, completely white and footless, bore a visible internal green ghostly fire.

"Such a type of Demon Path Spiritual Beast, it’s said they are not born naturally but must be refined artificially. Footless Birds are born in pairs, capable of mutual telepathic communication..."

Old Demon Chi Laoguai looked at the Footless Bird with a hint of envy on his face.

"Shriek!"

The Footless Bird opened its bony beak and spewed out a ghostly fire image, which was the scene of Fang Xi abandoning ’Master Qingyang’s’ disguise and transforming into ’Yun Jiezi’ to fly away!

"Yun Jiezi! It’s him?!"

Old Demon was the first to exclaim in shock.
