Chapter 108 Critical Hit! Blood Soul Cult Lair
……

Same time period.

In the mountains at the border of Dongqi County and Heyang County, a medium-sized spirit boat was docked in a hidden valley.

Inside the spirit boat.

The small cockpit was packed with eight young men and women, as well as a red-haired old man. They were listening attentively to Zhong Liye's preaching. Among them were not only Wang Qianqian, but also Zheng Lingyun from the Zheng family, and two young men from the Zhao family.

For this war, each of the three tribes brought some young elites to hone their skills.

When Zhong Liye was preaching, even a genius like Wang Qianqian, who was a master of the third spiritual root, listened attentively, afraid of missing a single word.

After all, Zhong Liye was also born as a three-spiritual-root fire cultivator, and had already set foot on the golden elixir path. His cultivation experience could help them avoid many detours. He was willing to share some of his experience with the young people, which was really generous.

Half an hour later, Zhong Liye finished his sermon and said in a kind voice: "If you have any questions, you can ask them on the spot, and I can answer them as appropriate."

Wang Qianqian and Zheng Lingyun's eyes lit up. Just as they were about to ask questions, they saw that Patriarch Chiqiu stood up before them and raised his hand. He held up a small notebook and began to ask questions respectfully: "Master Zhongli, I am deeply inspired by the understanding of the true meaning of the fire element you just mentioned. Can you elaborate on it?"

Zhongli Ye’s brows jumped.

This Chiqiu Laodeng was not only much older than him, but also looked like he was about to die. It seemed a little outrageous that such a person could be so humble and studious.

However, since I'm here now, I might as well just sit back and do nothing.

Zhong Liye patiently explained it to him. Patriarch Chiqiu took notes while he was talking, as if he had suddenly understood something. Finally, he thanked Zhong Liye repeatedly and pulled Zheng Lingyun to him, tears streaming down his face as he was moved: "Lingyun, you must remember that Senior Zhongli is our Zheng family's benefactor. When you become the head of the family in the future, don't forget to give Senior a gift every year."

"I'll remember it." Zheng Lingyun also responded obediently, then looked at Zhongli Ye eagerly and bowed deeply, "Lingyun thanks Master Zhongli for your kindness."

Good guy.

Zhongli Ye exclaimed, "What a great guy."

He was treated as a benefactor just because he preached to others casually. Isn't this just flattery? If he hadn't been obsessed with revenge for his master, he really wanted to leave in anger and stay away from this world.

"Cough cough!"

Chen Ningtai, who was watching the whole process from the side, coughed twice and said, "Brother Zheng Dao has passed. I know that because the successor that Zheng family carefully cultivated failed to break through the foundation building a few years ago, you feel that you are dying and want to find a family backer for the young Lingyun. But Master Zhongli, how can you curry favor with him just because you want to?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The old ancestor Chi Qiu had a frustrated and apologetic look on his face, and he repeatedly bowed to Zhong Liye, "I am Meng Wang, and I just wanted to make a little more contribution to the family while the oil is still running out and the lamp is still burning."

Zhong Liye: “…”

Isn't this acting too obvious? Do you really think he can't see it?
However, seeing that Patriarch Chiqiu was about to die of old age, he thought of Senior Brother Xuanmo for no reason.

After establishing the family, the senior brother has been working tirelessly for the family until his death. How similar is he to the person in front of him?
He sighed softly in his heart, and he no longer wanted to care about it. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. It's not easy for your small families. If someone bullies others in the future, I will allow you to mention my name. Of course, the premise is that your family behaves properly and does not cause trouble."

Ancestor Chi Qiu was overjoyed and quickly pulled Zheng Lingyun to thank him repeatedly.

This made Chen Ningtai secretly sigh that family inheritance is really not easy. Once the inheritance fails and there is a lack of successors, it will be very easy for the family to go downhill, and it may even be completely destroyed and become a small, low-rate family.

This time, Chen Ningtai cooperated a little and helped Zheng.

Of course, the main reason for his success was that Zhongli was too young. He had been practicing hard in the sect for many years and had little experience in worldly affairs, and he was also soft-hearted.

If it were a three or four hundred year old experienced Jindan cultivator, who had seen the unpredictable world, he would rarely show excessive compassion.

of course.

Chen Ningtai is also indirectly helping Zhong Liye.

He was too young and had just taken office as the leader of Chiyang Peak. He lacked prestige, and he needed a group of loyal families who would do practical things for him and never go against his will.

With Chen family pulling in the middle, this is a win-win situation for Zhong Liye and Zheng family.

No, it should be considered a win-win-win situation.

After this incident, the Zheng family will definitely follow the lead of the now powerful Chen family. It will be much easier for them to do some business or need manpower and help.

To develop a family, it is natural to have more of your own people and fewer enemies.

Subsequently.

Zhongli Ye answered Wang Qianqian's questions about the practice of fire-based exercises individually. His attitude was very kind and concerned. He even hinted at her intentionally or unintentionally whether she needed to join the sect and become a disciple of Chiyang Peak.
However, Wang Qianqian was also very smart. She said that she was obsessed with refining equipment, and the Chiyang True Fire of the Chiyang Peak lineage was not suitable for refining equipment.

At the same time, she also thanked Zhong Liye for sending back the set of Red Yang Spirit Needles to the Chen family. The family currently allocated them to her for use, and they were very easy to use.

Seeing that Wang Qianqian had no intention of becoming his disciple, Zhongli Ye felt sorry but was not annoyed. After all, he was still young and could take his time in accepting disciples, even when he was about three hundred years old.

During this time period.

Chen Ningzhuo and Su Yuanbai returned to the medium-sized spirit boat, their joy evident in words.

Chen Ningtai knew without their report that their trip to Wu Tu Hall was going extremely smoothly.

Immediately, he did not delay any longer and reported to Zhongli Ye that the preliminary task had been completed, then started the medium-sized spirit boat and set off again.

Soon, the huge spirit boat took off into the air again, went straight into the strong wind layer, and then activated the small five elements formation, burning spirit stones all the way to Chenghai.

****
after a while.

In the border area between Chenghai and East China Sea.

Affected by the ridge extending from the sea of ​​the Meiling Mountains in Zhongzhou, this sea area is dotted with many island communities. Most of these islands have no natural spiritual veins, so either only mortals live there, or they are simply uninhabited deserted islands.

One of the inconspicuous deserted islands is surrounded by dense reefs and the surrounding area is shrouded in sea fog all year round. Therefore, even though there are abundant fish resources here, no one is willing to come here to fish.

On the island, stone and wood structures and palaces were built at some unknown time.

In one of the halls, several monks wearing blood-red robes were sitting around. They all had a cold aura and a faint smell of blood lingered around them.

The old man in the lead had gray hair, loose skin, a mean face, and a sinister temperament, but his expression when he looked at the two blood-robed monks next to him was very gentle, one could even say he was amiable.

"Sword Demon Shura, Old Demon Chong, congratulations on your successful transformation into the Blood Demon Art. The Blood Soul Envoy's decree of conferring the title has also arrived just as scheduled. From today on, you are the Blood Deacons of the Blood Soul Cult!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand casually, and two blood-red tokens flew out slowly as if held by an invisible hand, flying towards the two male monks who had attacked.

The two male cultivators caught it casually.

The old man known as "The Insect Demon" has a pair of inverted triangular eyes, a sinister and vicious look on his face, and a cold and chilling temperament. He looks very difficult to mess with.

He glanced at the Blood Deacon token and said unhappily, "Blood Eighty-Nine? Blood Twenty-Five, brother, I am at least thirteenth on the Wu Kingdom's blacklist. Isn't Blood Eighty-Nine a bit too low?"

"Old Demon Chong, no, Brother Eighty-Nine." The blood-robed old man explained kindly, "This ranking has nothing to do with personal cultivation and martial arts. It mainly depends on the total contribution to the Blood Soul Sect. The greater your contribution, the higher your ranking will be."

"You and the eighty-eight brothers have just passed the assessment, so your achievements are naturally starting from scratch. However, as Blood Deacons, you have the right to recruit Blood Soldiers, train Blood Guards, and establish your own Blood Deacon team. This way, you can perform various tasks, improve your sequence rank, and get more resources."

Blood Twenty-Five was in a pretty good mood.

He teamed up with Blood Thirty-Seven and developed and trained two Blood Deacons in a short period of time, which was a significant contribution to the organization.

At the same time, for at least the next thirty years, part of the contributions obtained by Blood Eighty-Eight and Blood Eighty-Nine will belong to them.

Blood Thirty-Seven also chimed in, "However, I personally suggest that you two brothers do the first few missions with us. Not only will we have someone to look after you, but we can also teach you how to hold the blood sacrifice ceremony more efficiently and obtain a large amount of blood evil power more quickly."

At a level that the cultivators could not observe, Chen Xuanmo, in the state of a heroic spirit, was standing beside them, listening to the meeting of the blood deacons with great interest.

As he listened, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

The Blood Soul Cult was really somewhat similar to the Chuanxiao Organization he knew in his previous life. It grew rapidly by constantly recruiting new members, and they treated each other like brothers, seemingly living in harmony with each other.

Chen Xuanmo also had information on the two wanted criminals on the blacklist, [Insect Demon] and [Ashura Sword Demon]. The Ashura Sword Demon was even on Chen's hunting list, but he never expected that they had actually officially joined the Blood Soul Sect.

Shura Sword Demon looks like a middle-aged man.

He had a handsome and resolute face, and was slowly wiping a black sword while attending a meeting.

The sword looked ordinary except for its dark color, but in fact it contained a terrifying demonic aura.

Chen Xuanmo heard that this Shura Sword Demon was originally a direct disciple of Wuhen Mountain, one of the three major sects of the Great Wu Kingdom. He accidentally obtained a magic sword and then went crazy, slaughtering an entire mortal village for the first time.

Then, he killed two Wuhenshan disciples who were trying to capture him.
Therefore, he was not only expelled from Wuhen Mountain, but also put on the wanted list. Afterwards, he wandered around and committed numerous crimes, alarming Wanhua Palace and Yunyang Sect, who also put him on the blacklist.

It is said that this person is sometimes crazy and sometimes sober. When he is sober, he will be chivalrous and help people in need, but once he falls crazy, he will slaughter mortals, small immortal families, etc. for no reason.

Rumor has it that there is a demon hidden in the magic sword that is good at poisoning people's hearts. It will infect and bewitch anyone who dares to pick up the magic sword. This sword was named "Ashura Magic Sword" and also became the code name of this former disciple of Wuhen Mountain.

As the Asura Demon Sword was wiping his sword, he said coldly, "Blood Twenty-Five, didn't you say you had won over the Poison Hand Demon Doctor? Where is he? I couldn't find him anywhere, and I wanted him to help me with my madness."

"Yes, twenty-five. Last time I heard you say that you wanted to win over the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord." The old demon Chong also had an evil smile on his face. "I also want to learn how to control women from him."

Chen Xuanmo on the side sneered twice and thought to himself, I will personally send you two to see the Poisonous Hand Doctor and the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord later.

"The Poison Hand Doctor has clearly agreed to join us, but he has lost contact recently. I don't know if he changed his mind or was killed by someone." Blood Twenty-Five answered patiently.

"As for the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, this deacon wanted to find him, but he was nowhere to be found. I tried to send him a message by spreading the news, but there was no response."

Hearing this, Blood Thirty-Seven snorted with some disdain: "In my opinion, this person has been addicted to beauty for a long time and has lost his ambitions a long time ago."

"Let's not talk about this for now. All I can say is that these two people have no chance of being with my Blood Soul Avenue." Blood Twenty-Five waved his hand, his expression suddenly becoming serious. "The Blood Soul Envoy has ordered us to launch the next wave of operations. The blood sacrifice mission is very demanding, so please be mentally prepared, brothers."

Hearing this, Blood Thirty-Seven was stunned: "Brother Twenty-Five, it has only been a few years since our last action, right? I still have some of the intercepted blood evil power that I haven't digested yet. Now most of the immortal cultivation families are still in a state of frightened birds, with all kinds of vigilance and defense. If we act now, it will be very disadvantageous to us."

"I also feel that the timing is a bit hasty." Blood Twenty-Five said solemnly, "But since it is an order from the top, it is better to accept it honestly. After all, our goal is to advance to the Golden Core stage as soon as possible and become a Blood Soul Envoy."

"Because the mission is not easy to accomplish, I suggest that the four of us work together to eliminate the target families one by one at lightning speed, and sacrifice blood on several mortal cities at the same time!"

"After this mission, brothers 88 and 89 will form their own blood steward team. We will assist you then."

Good guy.

Chen Xuanmo was greatly encouraged.

He didn't expect that he just came here to investigate the situation and suddenly heard such information.

If this news is passed back to the sect, it will be considered a merit.

In addition, through these conversations between them, he also learned some of the internal structure of the Blood Soul Cult.

A Blood Soul Envoy is qualified to develop and appoint Blood Deacons. There is no hierarchical relationship between Blood Deacons. Instead, they are like independent teams and call each other brothers, but they will also join forces to form a group.

Judging from this structure, a Blood Soul Envoy is like an independent regiment in the anti-Japanese war movies in his previous life, with many formations under his command, each responsible for a specific area.

If this is the case, then there must be a higher superior above the Blood Soul Envoy who is specifically in charge of directing the Blood Soul Envoy's actions.

The organizational structure is clear, the promotion channels are clear, and the speed of development and growth is very fast.

This Blood Soul Cult is indeed very difficult to deal with. No wonder once it appears, it is like a cancer that is difficult to eradicate.

With Chen Xuanmo's ability, he naturally couldn't wipe out the Blood Soul Sect in one fell swoop, but he could cut off these small tumors one by one.

Suddenly.

A shrill alarm sounded on the island.

Blood Twenty-Five was immediately startled and jumped up, his face changed drastically, and he said: "The [Blood Demon Eye] discovered a medium-sized spirit boat sneaking close in the strong wind layer. It should be an enemy attack. Immediately activate the defense formation and notify the Blood Soul Envoy."

I rely on?

Chen Xuanmo looked stunned.

What is the [Blood Demon Eye]? It can actually detect a medium-sized spirit boat approaching in the strong wind layer?
Chen's original plan was for Yang Yuling and Lei Man to first deliver the Xuanmo Spirit Sword from the bottom of the sea to a location about ten miles away from the island and hide it in a pile of rocks, while Chen Xuanmo's heroic spirit would go to the island to gather intelligence again and determine if there were any changes in the deployment of troops in the Blood Deacon's lair.

Of course, at the same time, the medium-sized spirit boat will also slowly approach in the strong wind layer. Once it receives the signal, it will immediately move forward at full speed and launch a surprise attack on the nest.

Among them, Zhongli Ye, as the main force, will take the lead over Lingzhou and use his unparalleled attack on the enemy formation while the formations and defense facilities in the nest are not activated!

Afterwards, the three major Chen families will form a team to encircle and suppress the Blood Deacon's lair.

But no one would have expected that this Blood Deacon's nest actually had "eyes" in the strong wind layer, which immediately pulled the medium-sized spirit boat out of the darkness.

Faced with such changes.

Chen Xuanmo acted decisively and with a thought, the Xuanmo Spirit Sword suddenly emerged from the water from the reef ten miles away from the island, turning into a faint stream of light and rushing towards the island at a high speed.

In a place where no one could see, the purple air was burning rapidly, and the speed of the spirit sword was extremely fast.

at last.

Before the blood-colored energy shield on the island was opened, the Xuan Mo Ling Sword slid into the interior of the island.

And at the same time.

Zhongli Ye, who noticed the changes on the island, took the lead in leaving the medium-sized spirit boat.

His body was surrounded by flames as he fell diagonally from the gale layer, cutting through the night sky like a meteorite falling from the sky.

But he had only flown one-third of the distance when the entire island was covered by a huge blood-colored energy shield. The strong smell of blood filled the air, making people feel nauseous.

Bloody Evil Formation!

This is a formation that uses the power of blood evil as its energy source. As long as the blood evil power absorbed by the formation is sufficient and continuous, its defensive strength will be comparable to the Five Elements Formation!
Not only that, it can also mobilize those blood-killing creatures full of hostility to counterattack the invaders, and its attack power is also quite impressive.

It can be described as an excellent formation that combines both offense and defense.

Zhongli Ye is extremely fast.

In just over ten breaths, he rushed to the front of the Blood Evil Formation.

Ignoring the surging blood evil, his whole body was burning with the red sun true fire as hot as the blazing sun, and he continued to rush forward without slowing down, slamming heavily into the blood-colored shield.

"boom!"

The earth-shaking roar caused the entire island to tremble slightly.

The huge blood-red translucent shield also shook violently, stirring up violent waves.

In just a moment, the bloody waves that dared to attack Zhongli Ye turned into ashes in the blazing flames.

The shock wave spread out, and even the sea surface near the island was stirred up by huge waves two or three feet high. The huge waves continued to spread outward, creating thousands of waves.

The Secret of the Red Sun is so strong and masculine, overbearing and invincible. Although it cannot be used to refine weapons, it is very powerful in fighting.

However, the Blood Soul Sect had a distinguished origin, and the Blood Evil Formation was no ordinary one. Under the huge impact, although the shield trembled violently, it still held its ground and was not broken by Zhong Li Ye's powerful attack.

"It's troublesome."

Zhong Liye, who was wearing black clothes and a mask, had a slightly narrowed look in his eyes.

The attack just now was the strongest he could use at the moment. Since he couldn't break the formation, he had to fight with this bloody formation for a while. If the enemy's reinforcements arrived, it would be a disaster.

And this time.

The mid-grade spiritual boat Xuan Mo also burst out at its full speed under Chen Ningtai's urging. When it broke away from the strong wind layer and dived downward, its speed soared to 1,500 miles per hour and was still heading upwards!
Wang Qianqian, who was in charge of commanding the cloud-piercing crossbow installed on the Xuanmo, also perked up. Despite the rapid changes in light and shadow in front of her eyes, she immediately launched the bow crossbow.

A cloud-piercing crossbow arrow fell from the sky and pierced the blood-killing shield with a whistling sound.

Violent explosions and intense flames broke out instantly, causing ripples on the shield.

If it was a shield produced by the small five elements formation, it would have been violently shaken by this attack. However, for the blood shield which was almost the same level as the five elements formation, this attack did not cause much damage, it could only be considered better than nothing!
"A fire-type golden elixir cultivator!?"

When Blood Twenty-Five and the others came to their senses and saw this, they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats and were filled with fear.

Fortunately, the enemy attack was discovered in advance. If that Fire Element Jindan monk had really rushed into the inner circle of the formation in advance, it would have been a disaster.

"Brothers, hold on. Don't be stingy with the bloody power in your hands." Blood Twenty-Five shouted to encourage morale. "We have already notified the master. He will be here soon!"

But before he could finish his words.

On the left side of the island, a [Blood Pool] that served as the base of the Blood Evil Array suddenly exploded. The blood evil power quickly dissipated like thick fog. The head of a blood guard who was responsible for infusing the blood evil power into the blood pool also flew into the air.

You know, these blood pools are the source of the blood evil energy of the formation. Now that one of them has been destroyed, the supply of blood evil power is immediately affected.

The huge blood-red shield covering the island trembled slightly and instantly became much dimmer, as if its defensive power was greatly reduced.

Blood Twenty-Five's expression suddenly changed.

Zhong Li Ye's eyes lit up outside the shield. He immediately drew out a flaming sword, stirred up a fire in the sky and slashed towards the blood-red shield.

"Boom~!!"

The exploding flames exuded tremendous power.

The blood-colored shield was shaking wildly, its edges twisting and changing constantly, and it seemed to be showing some signs of breaking, but it was barely able to stabilize with the support of the endless bloody energy, and it held on with great effort.

The Xuanmo spirit boat also arrived at the battlefield at this time. When it swept across the large formation, the four cloud-piercing crossbows installed on the side fired a volley, bombarding the increasingly fragile blood-colored protective shield. Then it quickly turned in the air, and the four crossbows on the other side fired again.

Eight explosive crossbow arrows were fired in a short period of time. The power of the explosions was superimposed on each other, and the quantitative change finally produced a qualitative change, causing the weakened blood-red shield to vibrate more violently and become more and more unstable.

And this time.

The Xuan Mo Ling Sword that had just exploded a blood pool at the base of the formation had already retracted its light and was flying silently close to the ground, like a streak of light, flying towards the next blood pool at the base of the formation with the speed of an aurora.

The purple air burned as if it was free, and the attack power of the Xuan Mo Ling Sword soared. Soon, another blood pool exploded, weakening the defense of the blood-colored shield again.

Life cannot be smooth sailing, there will always be changes.

Even if you are lenient with your enemy, there will always be unexpected accidents.

But Chen Xuanmo was also an experienced man, and he immediately decided to adopt another strategy. He wanted to disintegrate the opponent's defensive formation from the inside!

As for the consumption of purple energy.

He doesn't care anymore.

This battle must be won as soon as possible!
At worst, I can find a way to trick Zhong Li Ye into coming to worship a few more times.
