Wang Teng of the Wang Family, Lord Zhu, It Has Been a Long Time!
As Zhu Wushi and the others walked towards the place where the blood mist gathered, the blood mist became thicker the further they went. Along the way, apart from this strange blood aura, there was nothing else. The ground was covered with dried corpses, devoid of any life.
They didn't encounter a single member of the Blood Lotus Sect, or rather, they didn't encounter a single living creature. No one blocked their way, and they traveled smoothly all the way.
Thinking of the layout map of Ruinian Town that they had seen, Zhu Wushi and the others knew that this was the direction to the town center, where the Blood Lotus Sect was waiting for them. This was a trap.
When Zhu Wushi and his group arrived at the center of Ruinian Town, the blood energy gathered there could no longer be described as mist.
Countless viscous blood vapors converged into blood plasma, as thick as ink, obscuring the sky and making it invisible. Zhu Wushi and the others felt as if they were in a sea of blood.
However, the blood plasma could not get within three feet of the crowd, as Zhu Wushi's true energy formed a protective aura around him, isolating him from the erosion of the blood plasma.
Only when he sensed several auras ahead did Zhu Wushi's eyes harden, and his aura exploded in an instant. His terrifying true energy swept outwards, pushing back the blood energy within a hundred meters, revealing the true nature of this place.
All around were ruins; countless houses had long been razed to the ground, turning this place into a flat, open-air plaza.
The flickering, blood-red patterns on the ground, along with the flowing streams of blood, created an eerie atmosphere. The pervasive stench of blood evoked both disgust and immense fear.
The blood mist dissipated, and a blood-red altar over five meters high appeared several dozen feet in front of Zhu Wushi and the others.
A handsome young man dressed in white sat upright on the edge of the altar, exuding a refined air, and calmly watched Zhu Wushi and the others approach.
Amidst the pervasive blood and the ferocious tigers that devoured people, the white-clad man remained remarkably calm, as if the blood and the deaths of countless lives had no effect on him whatsoever. Such a scene was chilling!
"Wang Teng of the Wang Family, Lord Zhu, it's been a long time!"
Wang Teng's self-introduction did not surprise Zhu Wushi and the others. When they sensed this aura, they recognized the familiar technique.
Just like the Wang Family members I encountered in North Watch City, they were all the same as Wang Hen. The [Tiger King True Scripture] was missing one of the Wang Family members there –Wang Teng.
Only this most renowned prodigy of the Wang Family had the right to think about revenge and dared to lure them here in this way.
Beneath the altar, a dozen figures stood ready, their gazes fixed on Zhu Wushi. Some looked as if facing a formidable enemy, while others had bloodshot eyes, their killing intent palpable, their expressions filled with hatred and venom.
"The Wang Family and their cultivation techniques, the Blood Lotus Sect members, and the Black Fiend Sect's methods—they're truly fascinating!"
"I underestimated you. You've got some guts, aren't you? You've even abandoned your humanity?"
Looking at Wang Teng on the altar ahead, Zhu Wushi's eyes showed a hint of surprise. This guy is something else!
Most of the people below practice the same technique, the [Tiger King True Scripture], while only a few (three or four) practice the Blood Lotus Sect's techniques.
His subordinates were doing a good job, but some had gone to extremes. After scanning the room, Zhu Wushi shook his head. In order to increase their strength, they had no longer become human.
Yes, most of the dozen or so figures beneath the altar exuded a fierce and wild aura of beasts.
Most importantly, their hands, feet, mouths, noses, and teeth are not human-like in some ways, and some even have tails.
One of them had even crawled on all fours, covered in fur, completely transformed into a tiger, with only a human head remaining, retaining its consciousness, and its cultivation had reached the Late Manifestation Realm.
They were no longer newcomers to this world, unfamiliar with it. Zhu Wushi and Duan Tianya both knew what these guys were—a group of Human-Demon.
The Black Fiend Sect, one of the three great evil cults in the world!
The three major evil cults are: the Corpse Immortal Sect, which refines humans; the Blood Lotus Sect, which eats people; and the Black Fiend Sect, which is not even human, but a place where Human-Demon are produced. In pursuit of power, they are a force that doesn't even want to be human.
These guys are definitely the work of the Black Fiend Sect!
Have they stopped being human?
Upon hearing this, many of the Human-Demon below the altar contorted their faces with rage and glared at Zhu Wushi with murderous intent. If it weren't for Zhu Wushi, they wouldn't have ended up in this state.
If the Wang Family were still alive, how could they be in this situation?
Despite Zhu Wushi's mockery, Wang Teng on the altar remained unmoved, his expression as calm as still water.
"I have always wanted to meet Lord Zhu, but I never had the chance. It is my honor to meet Lord Zhu here today."
Although Wang Teng's expression remained unchanged, the way he spoke, his slightly hoarse voice, and the churning blood mist around him all suggested that Wang Teng inner emotions were not as calm as they appeared.
"Now that you've seen it, now that you've seen it all, what can you do?"
Zhu Wushi strode forward with an imposing tone, his aura terrifying. The power he unleashed at that moment directly suppressed the blood mist stirred up by Wang Teng.
At the same moment, Duan Tianya, Cheng Shifei, and the Seven Balefuls also unleashed their power, ready to strike at any moment, making the atmosphere in the arena even more tense.
Wang Teng slowly stood up, a fierce glint in his eyes. A surge of true energy condensed behind him into a giant blood-red tiger, exuding slaughter and savagery, and was extremely ferocious.
"Since the matter of North Watch City was resolved, only I, Wang Teng, am left to roam freely outside. I'm sorry to have troubled Lord Zhu concern these past few days."
"You are all here today, and almost all of those who went to my Wang Family to silence us are still here. Lord Zhu, it's time to settle this score with my Wang Family!"
Wang Teng uttered these words almost in a low growl, his tone filled with murderous intent.
Ever since receiving news of the Wang Family's annihilation, he had been waiting for this day. He, Wang Teng, would never forget the hatred of his clan's extermination, and would always remember it!
After saying that, Wang Teng's figure instantly left the altar and appeared in front of the crowd below the altar, his eyes sharp and cold.
"You're not bad. We're both at the Mid Ascension Realm, and you're stronger than your grandfather. But you alone aren't enough. Call out the other two hiding in the shadows!"
Zhu Wushi glanced around and said with disdain, "Wang Teng alone wouldn't dare to do that. His strength isn't enough, he's far from it."
If Wang Teng were to handle Cheng Shifei or Duan Tianya alone, he would have a hard time doing either of them. The fact that Wang Teng dared to do this means he must have someone behind him.
"We beg Elder Zhuo and Elder Gu for their assistance!"
Wang Teng made no attempt to conceal himself, and respectfully addressed a direction, at which point two figures immediately emerged from the thick blood mist.
One of the red-haired figures flew out without stopping, heading straight for Zhu Wushi. The crimson true energy in his palm resonated with the surrounding blood mist. With a single strike, the blood energy filled the air, making the power even greater.
"Do it!"
Seeing this, Wang Teng roared, his aura instantly becoming fierce and his ferocity unleashed, as he charged straight towards Cheng Shifei.
He had also investigated the Wang Family's affairs quite a bit. His grandfather, Wang Hen, had died at the hands of Zhu Wushi. He was not strong enough to avenge this, so he could only ask Elder Zhuo was also at the Peak Ascension Realm, to help him.
But his own father died at the hands of Cheng Shifei. He could handle a mere Early Ascension Realm, but he, Wang Teng, was determined to avenge his father's death!
