Mo Tang Prepares to Make a Run
Dusk City is located near the Sunset Plains, west of the Black Corner Region.
Every time the sun sets, the entire city is bathed in a blood-red sunset, staining the whole city with a crimson hue.
In the city center, a massive stone fortress, strikingly similar to the Mo Family Fortress, stands tall, with squads of Blood Guard clad in crimson armor patrolling the castle grounds, maintaining a high level of vigilance.
Inside the main hall, on a blood-red chair, Fan Lao, the Sect Master the Blood Sect, leaned back, his right hand supporting his forehead, his face full of exhaustion.
Just then, an old man wearing a dark red robe with blood-patterned patterns walked in from outside.
The man's face was like a skeleton, with white eyebrows and a long beard. His eyes even had a faint blood-red glint, which was very eerie.
"Hehehe, what's wrong, nephew? Why do you look so worried?"
Upon hearing someone speak, Fan Lao immediately looked up, and after recognizing the person, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"Uncle-Master! You've finally arrived!"
Fan Lao quickly stepped down and immediately grasped the newcomer's hand.
If anyone heard Fan Lao address this person, they would probably be immediately terrified.
There was nothing they could have imagined; who would have thought that the dignified Blood Sect Master would be from the same lineage as the Vampire Old Demon who ravaged the Black Corner Region more than a decade ago!
Decades ago, a powerful evil cultivator appeared in the Black Corner Region who cultivated by drinking human blood. He wreaked havoc in the Black Corner Region, causing unrest in many places, and was known as the Vampire Old Demon.
However, since this old demon was still quite clear-headed and never provoked those powerful first-class forces, no strong person bothered to meddle in his affairs.
After all, the Vampire Old Demon was a Dou Emperor at the time, and even a first-class power might not be able to gain the upper hand against him. That's why they let him roam freely in the Black Corner Region for nearly ten years.
However, as the saying goes, if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
Although this Vampire Old Demon is shrewd, he is not immune to making mistakes.
When he once again captured someone and drained their blood, he inadvertently offended the Black Emperor Sect...
At that time, the Sect Master the Black Emperor Sect was Mo Tianxing, Peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor expert. Although the Vampire Old Demon was flustered, he was not too afraid.
What he didn't expect was that at that very moment, Mo Tianxing broke through to the Dou Zong realm, and Mo Tianxing caught him in one fell swoop. If he hadn't used a secret technique to escape, even at the cost of half his life, he would probably have been reduced to ashes...
It was after that incident that the Vampire Old Demon, who had always been feared by everyone in the Black Corner Region, completely disappeared from the public eye, and this disappearance lasted for decades.
Although Fan Lao's own actions contributed to the Blood Sect's current predicament, the pressure from the Heavenly Snake Mansion was immense. Left with no other choice, Fan Lao offered a huge price to invite his senior uncle to come out of seclusion...
Although the Vampire Old Demon lost half his life and even damaged his foundation back then, causing his cultivation to stagnate for more than ten years, he was still a genuine Seven-Star Dou Emperor powerhouse. With such an aid, the pressure on Fan Lao was immediately reduced by half!
After being invited to sit down by Fan Lao, the Vampire Old Demon looked relaxed and advised Fan Lao, "Nephew, don't worry. Although the Heavenly Snake Mansion is powerful, it is not a legitimate force in the Black Corner Region, so they won't dare to be too presumptuous. With you and me, uncle and nephew, we can handle it."
"Moreover, I also heard that my grand-nephew was killed by that Black Skull Tomb? Hmph! It seems that our Bloodsucking Lineage has been out of the mountains for so long that those nobodies have forgotten our formidable reputation..."
"Nephew, since we have such a deep-seated blood feud, why don't we, uncle and nephew, join forces and destroy that Black Skull Tomb? That way we can avenge the murder of our son!"
The Vampire Old Demon spoke passionately, but only he himself knew how much of it was genuine.
Although the Vampire Old Demon and Fan Lao both came from the same Bloodsucking Lineage, the cultivation method practiced by Fan Lao was not as bizarre and domineering as that of the Vampire Old Demon. He could only improve his cultivation by consuming the blood of the strong.
The reason he wanted to instigate Fan Lao to directly wage war against the Black Skull Tomb was more to take this opportunity to absorb the essence and blood of more powerful people, and then use the essence and blood of powerful people to make up for his own damaged foundation!
Just as the Vampire Old Demon was instigating Fan Lao to attack the Black Skull Tomb, he suddenly changed his expression and turned his gaze to the southern horizon.
At the same time, Fan Lao, who was hesitating, also sensed something and turned his gaze from the hall to the southern sky. There, a large number of powerful auras were rapidly approaching.
When they left Black Skull City, Su Mei, Tie Wu, and the others still had expressions of relief on their faces, as if they had survived a disaster.
There was nothing we could do. Who knew that what we thought was a pig to be slaughtered would turn into a ferocious tiger that would devour anyone it wanted!
The pressure from the Tomb Master the Black Skull Tomb was immense; they couldn't even muster the will to resist when facing him.
It was only because the Wind Thunder Pavilion had a big enough reputation, and the other party seemed to have some connection with the Wind Thunder Pavilion, that they were able to get away with it safely...
Otherwise, Su Mei thought they were doomed this time!
Thinking of all this, Su Mei's gaze became even more intense when she looked at Mo Tang.
She had no idea that Mo Tang was even more afraid than he was!
"Damn it! This Black Corner Region is too damn dangerous! Who would have thought there would be such an old monster hiding here..."
If even the clone is a Seven-Star Dou Zong, then what is the opponent's true strength? Dou Zun?
Among the clone-type Dou Technique known to Mo Tang, the Three Thousand Lightning Illusory Body of the Wind Thunder Pavilion is already considered the top-tier.
Even with the Three Thousand Lightning Illusory Body, the resulting clones cannot reach the same level of strength as the original body, unless you can cultivate the Three Thousand Lightning Illusory Body to the Perfection level.
As can be seen from the original work, even in the Wind Thunder Pavilion, very few people can meet the requirements for cultivating this technique, let alone cultivate it to Perfection.
I'm afraid only Venerable Lei in the entire Wind Thunder Pavilion has this possibility...
"No, no, after making this profit, I absolutely cannot stay in the Black Corner Region any longer... It would be safer to return to the Jia Ma Empire and the Misty Cloud Sect."
He didn't believe that the old monster had shown mercy because of his status as a disciple of the Wind Thunder Pavilion.
At this level, let alone the Wind Thunder Pavilion, even people from the Two Sects Three Valleys would likely not hold back if they so openly attacked!
The only explanation for this situation is that the other party simply doesn't have the patience to bother with these little fleas, so they're just making an excuse to get rid of them.
In addition, his identity as an imposter of the Wind Thunder Pavilion will be exposed sooner or later... Mo Tang just wants to gain as many benefits as possible during this period so that his strength can be improved as much as possible.
But now that this has suddenly happened, he feels guilty, so after finishing this job, Mo Tang is determined to make a run for it...
