Blood Lotus Sect's Scheme

At the summit of Xuanshan, dozens of figures roamed freely amidst the black mist, their vision seemingly unobstructed as they moved freely through the fog.

While others were moving about, two figures stood beside the blood pit, seemingly chatting idly, their eyes filled with a hint of joy. They were fiddling with some earthenware pots and pouring the contents into the blood pit in the center of the crowd.

The two figures were a man and a woman. The man wore a blood-red robe, his face and body looking hollowed out, as thin as a rake. The woman beside him wore a purple robe, with a dark lotus flower carved on the back of her robe, perfectly natural.

Looking at the blood pit, which was nearly five meters in diameter, the woman spoke first.

"This [Spirit Devouring Grievance Shadow] is finally complete. Blood Spirit, with this, you should break through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."

The man known as Blood Spirit crouched down, his right hand, which looked like a withered bone, reaching into the blood pool. From the viscous blood in the pool, a black hand—no, it would be more accurate to call it a claw—also emerged.

One of the fingers was nearly ten centimeters long, with a fingertip like a sharp thorn. A cold glint flashed, making people feel chilled. The black hand curled up and stroked the man's face with the back of its palm and fingers.

The Blood Spirit, being stroked, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. His face, which was only skin and bones and had sharp features, curled into a perverse smile. As the black hand stroked him, the Blood Spirit seemed to enjoy it. He was very happy, and this scene inexplicably seemed somewhat warm.

After lingering for a moment, Blood Spirit opened her eyes, her gaze filled with reluctance. She stood up, left the black hand, and gently comforted it.

"My little one, don't worry, we won't be separated for long."

The black hand seemed to understand these words and reluctantly retreated back into the blood pool.

Upon rising, Xue Ling's eyes gleamed with wild joy, her body trembling slightly. She was incredibly excited; this moment had finally arrived. Looking at the woman in purple beside her, Xue Ling suppressed her indescribable emotions and respectfully spoke.

"I must thank You Lian Holy Envoy again this time."

The woman in purple waved her hand and said.

"There's no need for that. This is also the sect's intention. We originally intended to lend you a hand during the war in You Province. It's a pity that You Province didn't fall. Otherwise, if we had slaughtered many people and sacrificed them You Province, the blessing would have been even greater."

"What a waste of such a fine meal."

Upon hearing this, a flash of resentment crossed Blood Spirit's eyes, and he roared angrily.

"It's all the fault of that Prince of Qin. We don't know which force is behind him, but he dared to interfere with my Blood Lotus Sect's plans, causing our Holy Son to run all the way to Great Feng, making a wasted trip."

In the Battle of Youzhou, it could be said that the only thing missing was that group of dead Human-Demon; otherwise, the three great evil sects of the world would have all come together in You Province.

The Blood Lotus Sect also contributed to this battle, thinking they could take advantage of the chaos to run rampant in You Province. Who would have thought that the Great Feng couldn't even hold out for three days and fled, causing the Blood Lotus Sect to suffer heavy losses in You Province.

The most regrettable thing is that the Holy Son of the Blood Lotus Sect made a wasted trip. He originally wanted to refine the Dragon Qi of the Prince of Qin, and with the National Destiny of the Xinglong Staff in his hand, he could directly transform the Holy Son from a dragon into a dragon.

In the end, they failed to capture anyone, the Dagan didn't go awry, and the Great Feng didn't launch an attack; it's fair to say they accomplished nothing.

All their original plans were scrapped, and they could only hide in Great Feng to avoid the storm. Fortunately, Great Feng was defeated and suffered heavy losses, so they could still hold the sacrifice in a different place. Therefore, the Blood Lotus Sect did not come away empty-handed from this battle.

Of course, for him personally, the gains were still very good. The battles started, and people died, which was enough. He had all the blood energy, death energy, malevolent energy, resentment energy, and yin energy he needed, and it was time for him to take another step forward.

The You Lian Holy Envoy, standing to the side, took out a jade bottle and spoke loudly.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Are you ready?"

Blood Spirit's gaze returned to the blood pool before him, his eyes filled with madness and excitement; he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

After a century of self-nourishment, coupled with the souls of the dead and living beings from the battle of You Province, and the baptism of the battlefield's aura, the [Spirit Devouring Grievance Shadow] has finally been forged.

Xue Ling took a deep breath, circulating his internal energy to ensure his clarity of mind. His expression hardened, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Alright, Holy Envoy, let's begin!"

It was time for his Blood Spirit to break through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. From then on, there would be no more Blood Spirit Elder of the Blood Lotus Sect, only the Eighth Holy Envoy of the Blood Lotus Sect.

With a surge of Blood Spirit True Qi, the crimson robe on his body instantly detached, flying backward and landing on a treetop not far away.

At this moment, Blood Spirit was completely naked, revealing his body. He was truly emaciated, skin and bones, with his belly sunken in and his ribs clearly visible, as if he could grab them with his hands.

The You Lian Holy Envoy flicked the jade bottle in her hand, and it smashed into Xue Ling's body. The bottle shattered instantly, and streams of milky white liquid enveloped Xue Ling's body.

When the liquid appeared, even the surrounding black mist retreated a bit, disappearing more than three zhang away.

The You Lian Holy Envoy raised two fingers of her right hand together, making a sword-finger gesture. A mysterious force from her fingertips struck the Blood Spirit's body, causing the liquid on her body to rapidly gather and finally condense into several Daoist runes, which were imprinted on the Blood Spirit's body like tattoos.

Having done this, the You Lian Holy Envoy nodded to the Blood Spirit, who immediately understood, jumped into the blood pit, sank into it, and disappeared without a trace.

"Before Blood Spirit breaks through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, the Living Being Blood Milk cannot be severed."

The You Lian Holy Envoy stared intently at the blood pit, his cold voice echoing around him. The Blood Lotus Sect members around him nodded solemnly.

They were all people brought by Blood Spirit Elder from the main altar, so they naturally understood the importance of this matter and the elder's status in the sect; this matter could not be lost.

The You Lian Holy Envoy looked at the blood pit with a hint of solemnity in his eyes. They had done everything they could, from the holy water that suppressed the vengeful spirits to the Blood Lotus Sect's efforts in the Divine Kingdom to obtain it.

Then there's the evil energy of all living beings, and the replenishment of new blood food. She didn't make such a big fuss for nothing; she was just waiting for these people to come to her doorstep.

This will take at least seven days. Now it all depends on Blood Spirit himself, after all, this [Spirit Devouring Grievance Shadow] is no ordinary creature.

Even though the Blood Spirit has fed it with its own flesh over the years and has become quite affectionate, that's just a facade. The words "devour" and "resentment" are not just empty words; when it gets fierce, it's no ordinary ferocity.

"So that's how it is. An array, plus the energy transformed from the dead beings before the Battle of Youzhou — the Blood Lotus Sect really dares to do that!"

At this moment, Li Xunhuan and Chu Mo had arrived at the foot of the Xuanshan. As soon as they got close, Chu Mo figured out the source of this strange phenomenon: it was the formation, plus the intervention of a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert, that created this scene.

Of course, a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert naturally possesses such strength, but such power is too overwhelming, and the aura is inherent. Any strong person who comes here will know that there is a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert here.

That's why there's an array to enhance it. No one would notice the Celestial Phenomenon Realm's interference in secret. This method, this array, and the wisps of blood energy he could feel up close— Chu Mo was all too familiar with these things. Blood Lotus Sect.

At the same time, Chu Mo couldn't help but glance at Li Xunhuan beside him. He was so far away and knew nothing, but this guy knew everything. His strength was extraordinary!
