Sacred Artifacts Emerge

Pfft!

After dozens of consecutive slashes, the eerie figure before him finally exploded under Jiang Dao's terrifying blade techniques, turning into a cloud of white powder that fell to the ground.

Jiang Dao's body finally stopped moving. Blood energy surged around him, his form fearsome, and the long saber in his hand was already pitted.

The Blood Shadow Soulchaser Blade showed its might in its first battle!

He quickly glanced to the side.

He saw the maid Bi Yu, her small face pale, lying unconscious behind a corridor, motionless.

Jiang Dao immediately strode towards Bi Yu and grabbed her.

But the moment his palm touched Bi Yu, his expression changed slightly.

Because the little maid was incredibly cold all over, chillingly so, like an eerie block of ice, frighteningly so.

"Yin energy entering the body?"

At this moment, Pang Lin, Fang Biao, Wang Xing, and others were all alerted and rushed over.

Even Jiang Dalong, with a look of shock, quickly approached under the escort of a group of people.

"Dao'er, has another malevolent spirit appeared?"

Jiang Dalong trembled.

Jiang Dao nodded grimly, looked at everyone, and said, "I've already killed the malevolent spirit, so everything is fine now. Find a doctor for Bi Yu tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay, I'll have someone call a doctor first thing tomorrow morning!"

Jiang Dalong nodded quickly.

Pang Lin and the others were all inwardly terrified.

To what realm had their eldest young master cultivated?

He had killed malevolent spirits with his bare flesh one after another!

This was simply unbelievable!

However, what made them even more nervous was the situation in Hengzhou City!

Was it really as the Changbai Old Daoist said, that this time Hengzhou City wouldn't be spared unless thousands died?

It was now clearly felt that a terrifying force was targeting the Jiang Manor.

Jiang Dao looked at the pitted long saber in his hand, his heart sinking. He casually threw the saber away.

Ordinary weapons were no longer enough to meet his needs!

In another direction.

Dark and gloomy.

Two hazy figures were confronting each other.

One was the eerie youth Jiang Dao had just met during the day, with black robes, black hair, black pupils, black nails, and at this moment, even his lips were black. He grinned, the smile extending all the way to the back of his ears, revealing a mouth full of fine teeth as he looked at the person opposite him.

Opposite him was a young girl, also with a charming smile, her features exquisite, appearing to be sixteen or seventeen. She wore a white short skirt and was gracefully approaching.

"I didn't expect even a non-human like you to come. Aren't you afraid that those fellows from the Corpse Dao Sect will refine you?"

The white-skirted girl chuckled.

"Miss Bai is joking. I'm not human, but are you?"

The eerie youth grinned.

"What do you want? Do you also want to seize that Sacred Artifact?"

The white-skirted girl's expression turned serious as she asked.

"Sacred Artifacts stir the heart; no one doesn't want to obtain them. However, I know my own worth. As a lone individual now, I definitely can't contend with your Spirit Child Palace and the Corpse Dao Sect. So, instead of risking death to fight for the Sacred Artifact, it's better to cherish what's in front of me. My goal is very simple, it's actually just you, Miss Bai."

The eerie youth chuckled.

"Me?"

The white-skirted girl's eyes flickered slightly, and then she let out a chuckle. "If She Gongzi is interested in this humble woman, it is naturally my honor. If you can help my Spirit Child Palace seize the Sacred Artifact, this humble woman wouldn't mind offering herself."

Her figure was slender, with curves, and her figure was exquisite. She walked towards the eerie youth, a fair small hand gently stroking his shoulder. With a charming smile, she circled around him. Her other small hand stealthily reached towards the eerie youth's abdomen, feeling cool and smooth, exuding a faint fragrance.

Evil light flared in the eerie youth's eyes.

But in an instant, he frowned, reacted, and looked back at the darkness in the distance, saying sinisterly, "Damn ants, you killed another one of my malevolent spirits?"

"What? She Gongzi's malevolent spirit was also killed?"

The white-skirted girl was surprised and smiled, "What a coincidence, one of our Spirit Child Palace's Spirit Children also died. I was planning to deal with it tonight."

"Who killed it? I am willing to be of service!"

The eerie youth chuckled.

"Jiang Manor."

The young girl in the white dress spoke calmly.

"What a coincidence, it's the same as my Malevolent Spirit..."

The Eerie Youth chuckled.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ground shook and the mountains swayed. A strange red light erupted from the eastern part of the city.

Both of them raised their heads simultaneously, their pupils constricting.

"A Sacred Artifact has appeared!"

Whoosh!

Their two figures vanished in an instant, leaving the place.

A low rumble shook more than half of Hengzhou City.

A dazzling red light shot out, accompanied by rolling crimson mist, vast and mighty, rapidly sweeping towards the entire Hengzhou City.

Countless people were instantly awakened, their faces filled with horror. Looking at the dense red light outside their windows, they trembled, almost believing hell had descended.

Inside the Jiang Manor.

Jiang Dao rushed into the courtyard at the very first moment and looked up, his heart filled with shock.

In the eastern area, a strange red mist was rapidly spreading.

Under this red mist, the stars, the moon, and the world all turned red.

An unimaginable surge of Yin energy swept over them, vast and overwhelming, causing them to tremble.

"Young Master, what... what is happening?"

Pang Lin looked horrified.

Even though he was well-traveled and experienced, he was completely stunned by this terrifying scene.

The blood mist covered the sky!

It was as if a sea of blood hung overhead, making even the air feel thick and viscous.

"A Sacred Artifact has appeared, could it be that a Sacred Artifact has appeared?"

Jiang Dao whispered.

"Dao'er, what's wrong now?"

Jiang Dalong rushed out with his men.

"Father, something is wrong. Tell everyone not to come out!"

Jiang Dao shouted.

"Alright!"

Jiang Dalong's expression changed, and he quickly nodded. He shouted, "Everyone get back inside immediately! Hurry, everyone get inside!"

Jiang Dao also quickly returned to his room.

However, he did not close the door. Instead, he stood at the doorway and looked up at the sky.

The blood mist surged, carrying an indescribable aura.

He gently touched it with his palm, feeling a slight dampness. Bringing it to his nose, he immediately smelled a strange, fishy stench.

This shocked him even more.

Was this really blood?

But how was that possible?

Time ticked by, drop by drop.

The water clock in the room ticked rhythmically.

Jiang Dao stayed up all night, standing at the door, looking up at the sky.

Gradually, the sky began to brighten, but the blood mist overhead showed no signs of dissipating.

Through the blood mist, the sun could be seen overhead.

However, the sun's rays, refracted by the blood mist, also turned a dim red.

"It's morning..."

Jiang Dao said gravely.

He looked into the courtyard and saw that the blood mist was dense, covering everything, and visibility was extremely low.

The eerie red mist had an indescribable, sinister quality.

"Father, Master Pang, I'm going out to take a look!"

Jiang Dao suddenly spoke.

"Don't worry, young master, I'll guard the manor!"

Pang Lin replied from within the blood mist.

Jiang Dao casually picked up a new steel saber and rushed towards the door.

Hengzhou City was bathed in a crimson hue.

The bloody mist was vast, making it almost impossible to see the road ahead, and the air was thick with the pungent smell of blood.

Jiang Dao followed the main road eastward.

Faintly, he heard sounds of weeping, as if many people were crying bitterly.

Jiang Dao frowned and quickened his pace. Soon, he saw many figures ahead, carrying bundles and dressed in mourning, weeping as they walked towards the distance.

Paper money was scattered in front of many homes.

Some people, carrying bundles, kowtowed a few times towards their homes before wiping away their tears and rushing off into the distance.

Jiang Dao frowned.

Had something happened in their homes?

What were they doing?

"Giddy up, giddy up, get out of the way, all of you, move aside!"

Suddenly, the sound of chaotic horse hooves came from behind, accompanied by shouts. Carriages rushed through the red mist, stirring up wisps of cold air, laden with various goods.

Many people were even knocked down by the carriages.

Jiang Dao quickly retreated, his gaze sweeping over the convoy.

The Dragon City Auction House?

He instantly recognized the convoy's banners and shouted, "Shopkeeper Su, what are you doing?"

Su Mingyuan, inside a carriage, heard the voice and quickly poked his head out from the curtain. Recognizing Jiang Dao, he called out, "It's Young Master Jiang! I just received news that all the city guards are dead, and now Hengzhou City is unguarded. Many people have already fled. You should leave your home quickly too!"

"All the city guards are dead?"

Jiang Dao was shocked.

After saying that, Su Mingyuan immediately retracted his head and continued to have the horses driven, rushing towards the city gates.

Jiang Dao made a decisive move and also hurried back home.
