The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting from Refining Gu

Chapter 268 Ashes
Still outside Luojing Mountain, Tao Shiyu did not dare to be too presumptuous, and used Taoist techniques to stir up a strong wind, and cooperated with the martial arts body to walk close to the ground.

Tao Guangqing endured the frustration and followed behind.

In less than half a moment, the two came to a wild road covered with dry grass, with four cars driving in front of them.

"I only want things that belong to Ke Qianrou and I won't have any unnecessary entanglements with him."

Four corpses circled out from both sides of the road, blocking the front [-] feet in a four-image formation.

Tao Shiyu just started, her face suddenly darkened, her true energy circulated to her eyes, and her vision became clear in the night.

The four cars in sight were driven by six white-robed disciples. They were silent and could not tell at first glance. It would make people feel weird if they looked at them twice.

Based on the sense of blood energy of the warriors of the Fourth Realm, the six people were like puppets, and the fluctuations of their energy and blood were weak and not like living people.

After a pinch, the Golden Walking Corpse Puppet slapped four palms in a row.

"Boom..." The four vehicles and four second-level monsters collapsed together.

There were four cars in front and behind. Except for the monsters pulling the cars, the other figures twisted and disappeared at the same time. Among them was the boy named Liu.

"You are vulnerable to a single blow, but you have a lot of tricks to do with Gu." Tao Shiyuxiu sneered.

The corpse puppet is different from the corpse path monk. It is just a puppet. It senses the aura of death attached to the shadow, but cannot identify the shadow.

Pointing his fingers together, four fire spells were fired, and the car and the corpse of the monster were turned into ashes in an instant.

A strong wind blew up, first blowing away the ashes, and then covering up the charred blackness with dust, and soon there were not many traces on the wild road.

"This woman is really good at killing people, setting them on fire, and then destroying the corpses to eliminate traces."

Tao Guangqing was cursing beside him, and he saw Tao Shiyu closing her eyes and pinching the pieces, as if sensing the scattered paper cranes.

The woman snorted coldly, changed her direction, and flew away close to the ground. She was so close that the Three Realm Warriors couldn't keep up.

Halfway along the trail, deep in the dense forest, dozens of crows were fluttering their wings.

Just like the previous figure, if you don't look carefully, it's hard to find anything strange in this night.

Tao Shiyu became alert and scanned the crows one by one. She found that the crows had parasitic eyeballs on them, like some kind of weird bug, and they were monitoring her every move from a distance.

The crows are scattered everywhere, far apart from each other, and it is quite troublesome to deal with them one by one.

"Just like the Gu masters of the Yin Yue Dynasty, they are annoying."

Tao Shiyu, who has always been straightforward and likes to fight head-on, is extremely disdainful of these fancy methods that cannot take human life.

Arriving at the abnormality captured by the talisman paper crane, the road was filled with mirages and was blurry.

Without any hesitation, Tao Shiyu dispersed the body-protecting power and rushed directly into the illusion.

After a while, she appeared in front of a piece of broken soil about ten feet in diameter. The soil under her feet was soft, and something had just burrowed into it.

This is obviously the trace left by the wild Gu after it escaped to the ground. Earthly zombies can also escape from the ground, but it is too late to pursue them at this time.

Tao Shiyu had no intention of pursuing him, and her eyes fell on a porcelain altar on the edge of the broken soil.

She thought about crushing the porcelain altar, but she stopped abruptly.

He took a step forward and opened the lid of the porcelain altar. Inside was a jar of ashes without any impurities.

The ashes were left by Liu Feng, and were the remains of Ke Qianrou's body in the peach wood coffin.

"The wooden core containing Ke Qianrou's hard work was given to me, and even the ashes were given to me."

"Liu Feng, you'd better not fall into my hands."

Tao Shiyu held the urn and stood there for a long time, feeling extremely depressed for some reason.

……

Fengzhou, Nanchuan Prefecture, Anping County.

At night, there were only a few lights in the county.

Yizhou is currently in chaos, and Fengzhou is not much better. It has long lost the fireworks of the past.

In the west of the city, seven carriages arrived in front of the back gate of Ma's courtyard.

With a "squeak" sound, the back door opened wide, and dozens of well-built servants rushed out.

The leading servant and the man driving the carriage just shouted and signaled their men to start picking up the goods from the carriage. What they dragged out were large living people.

Seven cars brought nearly a hundred people, [-]% of whom were poor families living in remote areas.

Hundreds of people had their hands and feet tied, their mouths gagged, and were sent to Ma's house like animals.

Not long after, the carriage turned around and left, and the back door closed again.

In the courtyard, the hundreds of people sent were not the first batch. The ground was crowded with people, and there were nearly 400 people in total.

In the hall facing the courtyard, three masters of the Ma family stood aside, looking at the blood-robed figure on the throne with smiles on their faces.

On the seats on both sides, there were 18 people in two rows, all wearing bloody robes.

The nineteen people sitting in this row are members of the Chiyue Sect, six protectors and thirteen disciples.

Only 19 people were present, not counting the goods brought in. There were more than 200 people in the Ma family, including five people who had reached the second level, and all of them were respectful.

There is no other reason. There are three realms among the six protectors.

In the past, most of the protectors of the Scarlet Moon Sect were perfect in the second realm, but now it is easy to pick up three of them in the third realm.

"Thanks to Patriarch Lao Ma's efforts, this protector bought it at a price [-]% higher than the previous price. Take it."

"Guardian Yun is too polite."

Six bottles of elixirs with a strong smell of blood were thrown out, and Ma Chengye, the uncle of the Ma family, took them carefully, with a somewhat forced smile on his face.

In the past, the Ma family cheated and sold the goods to gangs and sects that wanted to employ people, and sometimes sold them to the Red Moon Sect.

Now that the Scarlet Moon Sect is so powerful, his family's business is taken over by the Scarlet Moon Sect.

There are indeed many benefits, but now the imperial court and the Scarlet Moon Sect are fighting fiercely. If his selling goods to the Scarlet Moon Sect is exposed, the entire family will be beheaded.

Protector Yun, who was sitting on the throne, glanced at Ma Chengye, guessed what this man was thinking, and hummed softly: "Tell your people to go out and walk around a few times. The detectives guarding the dark place are all members of my Red Moon Sect."

"The Chiyue Sect is growing day by day, and there are many of our people in government offices. No matter how much you recruit people in Anping County, no one will take advantage of you."

"Yes, yes, my Ma family will definitely work for the Red Moon Sect wholeheartedly."

Protector Yun nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand towards the disciple below.

"Lead them into my holy religion."

"As ordered."

Thirteen blood-robed disciples got up, went to the water tank in the yard, and poured into the tank medicine powder that can stimulate qi and blood.

After the medicine was dispersed into the water, the disciple at the late stage of the Second Realm took out a jade bottle, carefully pulled off the cork, and tilted the mouth of the bottle downward.

A drop of blood condensed into blood crystals fell into the vat, and the water in the vat was quickly dyed blood-colored.

As this was not enough, each of the thirteen disciples bit their wrists open and fed some of their own demon blood into the vat.

The nearly 400 people who were escorted here all guessed what would happen next. After all, the Chiyue Sect now had 200 million members, and the news had already spread.

At present, the imperial army is encircling and suppressing the Red Moon Sect, and there are far fewer people who dare to openly join the religion.

The Chiyue Sect is causing harm to all directions, and it is rumored that the imperial court is also causing harm to the refugees. It is hard to see the refugees on the streets, but they are actually arresting poor people like them to make up for their numbers!
Under the weak light, some people were not surprised but happy, some were laughing in despair, but most of them were still sobbing uncontrollably.

Those who were sent here are all the real low-level people, and some people with poor cultivation cannot fall here.Life is difficult right now, and it is equally difficult to be a member of the Red Moon Sect. They know this very well.

"I'll wait for you to let go. Anyone who dares to shout will die."

"One bowl per person, drink it all."

Seeing that someone was about to be untied, all the servants of the Ma family quickly bowed over to help.

Two Chiyue Sect disciples lifted the water vat, and other disciples distributed porcelain bowls filled with blood.

But before the blood in the hands of these low-level people could be poured into their stomachs, the sobbing in the compound stopped, and nearly 400 people fell to the ground.

Seeing this, there was a continuous sound of weapons being unsheathed throughout the Ma family compound.

The two hundred people from the Ma family looked nervous, and the thirteen Chiyue Sect disciples in the courtyard immediately protected the water tank.

In the hall, the six guardians had sinister smiles on their faces, and they could see that someone had poisoned them. Ordinary people with no cultivation were the first to be poisoned, followed by the servants of the Ma family who had some cultivation of Qi.

Protector Yun came to the courtyard in one step. The nearby streets were full of people from his Chiyue Sect, and there was also another Protector taking the lead, so there was no need to be too restrained.

"Which Gu master dares to challenge my Scarlet Moon Sect? Get out."

He spoke with confidence, but as soon as he finished speaking, as if in response to him, billowing blue-black poisonous mist filled the Ma family compound.

After the poisonous mist, mirage filled the air, covering the entire Ma family.

Looking at this posture, it was clear that he was going to fight with them.

"Do it."

The six guardians took advantage of the mirage before it completely dissipated. Two parties rushed towards the courtyard wall, and one party went straight to the back door of the courtyard.

Before they could get out, the attacker broke into the courtyard first.

The first one to appear was a delicate girl with horns, an excited face, and a grin full of sharp teeth.

In a face-to-face encounter, the heart of the perfect Dharma protector in the second realm was taken out, and the blood essence was taken into the mouth.

After eating the appetizer, the half-demon girl fought with the protector of the three realms. She faced the blood demon bloodline and was able to suppress the protector.

The other two parties, a Gu Master in red and a young man in black feathers, each blocked the path of one party.

Behind the three third realms, dozens of Gu masters appeared on various courtyard walls. Except for a few, they were all second-generation Gu masters.

When everyone in the Ma family saw clearly, the walls on all sides were already covered with poisonous insects.

In mid-air, stone-like Gu Insects were flying, and there were many third-grade Gu Insects that made the sound of breaking through the air.

In such a battle, there were more than [-] Ma family masters and servants, and their faces were as white as paper.

The servants in the courtyard watched helplessly as the Gu Insects were approaching. There were Gu Insects in all directions. With the cultivation of most of them being first-level warriors, they didn’t know where to hide even if they wanted to.

Without any accident, there was a lot of wailing in the courtyard, and the members of the Ma family were forcibly penetrated by the poisonous insects.

On the courtyard wall, figures in white robes and blue robes looked cruel, each casting a bewitching spell.

Anyone who tries to rush out of the yard will be dead at the next sight.

The hall was also crawling with poisonous insects. The three masters of the Ma family were all in the second level of perfection and did not dare to act rashly.

The second master of the Ma family, who has been running around all year round, stared at the Gu Master's clothes and recognized them.

"Brother, he is the Gu Master of the Immortal Slaughter Sect..."

When the eldest and third masters of the Ma family heard this, their old faces turned blue, veins bulged in the palms of their hands holding the armor, and they did not dare to pull out the armor.

There is no doubt that as long as they dare to take action, they will definitely die.

Gu masters are inherently difficult to deal with, and it is difficult for martial artists of the same realm to match them, and those who can enter the Immortal Slaughter Sect are even better among the Gu masters.

It is rumored that Gu Masters practice and will use other Gu Masters as nourishment if they disagree with each other.

And in the Luojing Mountain Canyon where the Immortal Slaughter Sect is located, thousands of Gu Masters kill each other every three years, just to gain the qualification to enter the Immortal Slough Sect's trial.

There are now dozens of Gu Masters who have come to kill like this. It is strange that they are not afraid.

At this moment, where the three parties fought, three perfect protectors of the second realm died, and the remaining three realms were three against three.

Protector Yun rushed towards the back door, punched with blood and mist, and knocked away the feather-clothed demon cultivator, before escaping alone.

Now that the matter has come to an end, and knowing the identity of the incoming person, Protector Yun has no intention of killing all the incoming enemies.

Since the Gu Master of the Immortal Slaughter Sect has arrived, all the arresters he arranged nearby should be dead.

What made him even more uneasy was that the person hiding outside was Protector Chen, who had reached the three realms of perfection, but there was no movement at all. He didn't know whether he escaped or was poisoned.

Thirteen disciples of the Chiyue Sect in the courtyard were about to run away when they saw Protector Yun. They quickly threw down a vat of blood and sprayed the blood mist towards the back door.

Protector Yun was in front, and thirteen disciples were behind. Fourteen people broke out of the Ma family compound.

The strange thing is that none of the Gu masters behind them, whether they were in their second or third life, came to stop them.

Just as they were about to disperse and run away, a young man in purple robes came into view, carrying someone in his right hand. It was Protector Chen who had lost most of his head!
Facing the calm and unhurried Protector Yun, who was a demon cultivator in the Third Realm, when he saw the person wearing a purple robe, he did not hesitate and hit himself on the heart with a palm.

The blood crystal spike on top of it from the elder of the Four Realms collapsed in an instant.

With a "hissing" sound, an eight-foot monster covered in blood scales and covered in bloody thorns appeared.

He has the blood of a blood demon and is not afraid of the Gu Master of the third life. Even if the third body has reached perfection, this Protector Yun dares to compete.

But the person who came here was not an ordinary third-generation body Gu master, but a direct disciple of the Immortal Transformation Sect. How dare he stay and die before his third-generation blood demon body was perfected.

Furthermore, in front of him was Protector Chen, who had achieved three levels of perfection. Most of his head was broken off and he was so dead that he could no longer die.

The blood mist was as thick as water and spread dozens of feet away. The shadow of a blood demon suddenly pounced on the purple-robed young man in front of him.

"Subordinates are incompetent."

"You just entered the Third Realm, I can't blame you."

A few dozen feet away, the man in feathered clothing was kneeling on one knee, while the young man in purple robe faced the billowing mist of blood with a nonchalant look on his face.

When he encountered the Fourth Realm Yin Yue Dynasty who was both martial and Taoist, he could only run away, but against the Blood Demon of the Third Realm, there was no need to use all his strength.

"Om..." The power of the three Buddha roots that was about to reach perfection unfolded, and the figure disappeared in a flash.

Just when they met each other, the thirteen disciples of the Red Moon Sect lost their sight and staggered around in circles. They were pierced by black shadows and turned into dead bodies on the ground.

The phantom of the blood demon was blasted away by a seal, and the blood mist was unable to corrode the human body.

"Boom, boom..."

The purple-robed figure blocked the path and made a muffled sound as it fought closely with the eight-foot blood demon.

The person who came didn't dodge or punch, he only raised his limbs to block.

Facing the purple-robed figure who was only as tall as his own chest, the three-turn blood demon body blasted him head-on, but was unable to damage his physical body.

The skin and flesh could barely be broken open, but the bones inside were not something he could break.

The blood demon's brute force was no match for him, and the blood flames couldn't hurt the opponent at close range, and the broken flesh healed in the blink of an eye.

There were only ten muffled sounds, and the body surface of the eight-foot-long blood demon burst open. A large amount of blood essence formed a pair of wide blood wings on its back, and it performed the blood escape method.

But at such a close distance, he couldn't walk even if he wanted to.

The moment the blood shadow fluttered and pulled away, the purple-robed figure swayed, one finger stabbed into the head, Buddha fire poured into it, and a corpse appeared on the ground.
