Blood Refinement Sect (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader A Song of Illusory Dreams)

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

The direction of the blood-red light seemed to be on the horizon, but it was quite far away when you flew over. Qin Yi didn't dare to use the airship, fearing it would make them too conspicuous, so the three of them obediently flew over, and the blood-red light disappeared when they got nearby.

But ultimately, it means something is going on here.

Upon landing on a nearby hilltop, Qin Yi looked down and was slightly taken aback.

Below the mountain was a wide, tranquil river, its waters flowing quietly, but now something blocked its path.

Without the light, the river water appeared black. In the pitch-black water, the corpse of a dragon was vaguely visible, and several men in blood-stained clothes were preparing to move the dragon's corpse.

They were mostly cultivators at the Cloud Soaring level. There was an array on the ground, and the bloody light just now was probably the effect of the array slaying the dragon. Otherwise, this dragon should have been at the Myriad Manifestations level, which wouldn't have been able to be hunted down by a few Cloud Soaring cultivators; they wouldn't even have been able to escape.

In the desolate and uninhabited Yin Realm, a blood-clad figure suddenly appears, sets up a strange formation, and slays a dragon by the river...

The scene itself is somewhat eerie and terrifying.

Qin Yi secretly took Li Qingjun's hand and channeled a layer of "Formless Realm" Technique Method into her to help her cultivate in secrecy. His Senior Sister's methods of deceiving people through Painting Dao were numerous, perhaps even better than this Technique Method.

After careful concealment, the three quietly approached.

At this moment, the dragon's corpse had already been dismembered, each piece placed into a ring, and the person turned and left.

The three of them quietly followed behind, heading into a mountain hollow.

There were no guards in the ravine, so they went straight in. Come to think of it, there shouldn't be anyone in this place at all, so why would there be any guards? Consequently, these men in blood-stained clothes weren't very vigilant and didn't even consider the possibility that someone might be following them.

Even if there are guardians, they should be protecting creatures of the Yin Realm, like this dragon that was killed for reasons unknown. Qin Yi had only just realized that such creatures as dragons existed in this realm, since he had never seen normal creatures in the previous Blood Nether Realm ...

Hmm... Compared to these strange places, even dragons seem like normal creatures... It's really speechless.

In fact, dragons are very rare. Qin Yi has only seen one Blood Flood Dragon in the Rift Valley Wilderness so far, which was most likely raised by that Witcher himself. There have been no more in the Demon City since then. However, there are dragon souls among those ancient souls, though they are not as high-level as the Soaring Serpent.

The living dragon was actually the second one we saw here... oh no, it was dead.

There's no real reason to kill the dragon; this creature is a treasure trove, and countless people would kill it just to get its treasures. Following them in was simply to find out who they were and what connection they had with this part of the Netherworld Realm.

Once inside the mountain valley, there were seven or eight people sitting around a campfire. When they saw the others return, they all said, "You're so slow."

Qin Yi stared at the fire. This place shouldn't be able to produce fire; it was a kind of Yin Fire that allowed it to exist here. He himself did possess a seed of ghostly fire, but he didn't really want to use it.

The people who carried the dragon's corpse back sat down around the campfire and said, "Anyway, there's no one else here... This dragon is of a very high grade. Are you sure you want to give it away? What a pity."

"Nonsense! The sect leader's order is not for you to haggle over!" Among the group, the only Radiant Sun cultivator reprimanded, "Besides, as long as that person is satisfied, our benefits will be countless. Why would we care about a mere Nether Dragon?"

It's both the sect leader's order and someone else's satisfaction. Judging from this, even the sect leader is trying to curry favor with someone.

Then someone asked, "Do you think it's a bit too much to expect something like this to succeed...?"

"I don't know. The important figures have their own considerations, Non-Self comprehension. However, the difficulty lies not in the matter itself, but in the external resistance. At least I know that the Witch God Sect has not agreed."

"Why doesn't the Witch God Sect agree? The idea seems good, but it's a bit far-fetched."

"How would I know... Anyway, the Witch God Sect has been acting crazy lately, searching the whole world for this Qin Yi, making things very difficult for Elder Wu. But logically speaking, their pursuit of Qin Yi has nothing to do with this matter. Their disagreement must be for other reasons, Non-Self know."

Elder Wu? This is awkward. Qin Yi scratched his head for a long time, then suddenly realized who these people were.

When Tianjizi plotted to ambush Guan Hai and others from Da Huanxi Temple, some other Huiyang cultivators from various righteous and evil sects who had grudges against Da Huanxi Temple cooperated with him. Afterwards, Qin Yi suggested to the Palace Master that they could use this relationship to take some of the Da Huanxi Temple's gains and establish goodwill with these people. Those who were independent cultivators could be hired as guest elders, and those who came from sects could be used as an opportunity to hold sect alliances.

At the time, it seemed that if this diplomacy wasn't carried out, Heavenly Mystery Child would take it away. The Palace Master agreed, and it was believed that this diplomacy should later be handled by people from the Wine Sect.

Among these people, one was from the Demonic Blood Refinement Sect. His name was unknown at the time, but in this situation, he should be Elder Wu.

The blood-stained clothes and Evil Qi of these people matched up; they were from the Blood Refinement Sect, a mid-level Demonic Path Sect whose sect leader's cultivation was at the Shining Sun Peak. It was surprising that Elder Wu actually had some connections with the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace ...

It is said that the Taiyi Sect was also involved back then... They all had the fate of jointly destroying the Great Joy Temple. Elder Wu the Blood Refinement Sect felt awkward in the face of the atmosphere between the Witch God Sect and the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, but the people of the Taiyi Sect did not show any mercy. Instead, they played the trick of jointly suppressing the Righteous Path palace.

Really...

The Huiyang cultivator continued, "Anyway, what we're doing is just preliminary preparation, collecting the blood of various creatures from the Blood Nether Realm... Heaven knows how many creatures there are in the Yin Realm, and we don't even know where many of the shattered planes of the Blood Nether Realm are. Just finding them all would take years, and the situation could change in a few years. Just because we disagree now doesn't mean we'll disagree later. We just need to do our own thing..."

"It's okay if they're difficult to deal with, what's worrying is that those bastards from the Righteous Path are looking for trouble." Someone said, "I heard that the Yin Corpse Sect found an entrance to a different realm, but before they could do anything, Tai Puzi from the Spirit Cloud Sect saw it and insisted that they must have a conspiracy, so a big fight broke out, and now we don't know what the outcome is."

Qin Yi: "..."

Someone exclaimed in surprise, "There's such a thing? That's terrible! Wouldn't it be even more troublesome if the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace found out?"

The cultivator from Huiyang sighed, "I knew it. We had a mission this time: to dig a pit for a Daoist Nun from the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace and see if she would fall for it."

Qin Yi: "..."

They were also asking over there, "Daoist Nun?"

The cultivator from Huiyang said, "Hmm... I don't know the specifics, don't ask me if I'm pretty or not."

People chuckled and flattered him, saying, "Elder Xue already knows far more than any of us."

Elder Xue stroked his beard and smiled, quite pleased with himself.

Qin Yi gritted his teeth inwardly. "You know far too little! You don't even know if the Daoist Nun is Old Daoist Nun or Little Daoist Nun. What are you so smug about?"

Someone asked, "Digging a hole, doesn't that mean they want to capture me alive?"

"Of course, capture them alive." Elder Xue scolded in exasperation, "Can you just kill the people of the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace like that? If we capture them alive, we can attack or defend as we please."

"Elder Xue's insight is brilliant..."

"Insightful my foot! This is common sense!"

Despite being scolded, the Blood Refinement Sect members were actually eager to try. "Dealing with the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace sounds exciting. Have we received orders from above?"

"Instructions have already been given." Elder Xue finally stood up. "After resting, we will first send the Nether Dragon to the Northern Boundary Bridge and await further instructions."

Qin Yi sniffed as he met the lingering gazes from both sides.

"Whether it's the Old Daoist Nun Little Daoist Nun, now that they know, they can't just sit idly by. They have to go and take a look... Why are you two staring at me like that? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
