Deep within the Textile Factory, through a dimly lit Passageway, lay a complex web of houses.
In the center of the room, there was a round table, and except for the seat at the very top, the rest of the room was already full of people.
The room was extremely dark, and the air was filled with a sense of oppression. Pairs of cold eyes, like venomous snakes, scanned the surroundings. Everyone's face was obscured by the darkness, making it impossible to see clearly.
"Hehehe, hasn't our Bloodthirsty Divine Cult been having too much luck lately? It seems like killing people is so easy, and the imperial court is being quite lenient with their pursuit."
"Perhaps it's because the reputation of my Bloodthirsty Divine Cult is too great that they're all afraid of it."
"The Boulder Convention starts tomorrow, and many young Heavenly Prodigy will come to the city then. We'll be able to kill quite a few Heavenly Prodigy. My Bloodthirsty Divine Art is almost at the third level."
A cold, bloodthirsty voice echoed continuously.
The Myriad Worlds of today are unlike the Immortal Realm of the past. The power of Great Dao in the Myriad Worlds is more complete and offers greater freedom than in the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Realm had many Rule, such as killing would increase karma and make future cultivation difficult. However, these rules do not exist in the Myriad Worlds. There is even a path to prove Dao through killing. Therefore, the Demonic Cult is much stronger than it was in the Immortal Realm.
Since there are no punishments for murder, they are naturally very arrogant and do things without much regard for the consequences, as long as they are not besieged by the Righteous Path.
This is similar to the Immortal Realm of the past.
No matter where you are, there are still many people who deeply hate the Demonic Path, because the path of cultivation in the Demonic Path is basically against Human Dao. If the Demonic Path is not eradicated, they may be the next victims.
Fortunately, most factions reached a consensus to eliminate any Demonic Path they encountered, which prevented the Demonic Path from developing so smoothly.
Just then, a young man walked into the room, and many people immediately looked at him.
"Has Su Chen already received his things?"
The young man nodded respectfully. "Reporting to the Branch Master, we have certainly obtained it."
The speaker was overjoyed upon hearing this, his face contorted with a ferocious expression. "Su Chen, this is a prodigy of the Haoran Sect Heavenly Prodigy! I've heard he's far more terrifying than the Golden Sun Immortal Body and the Ba Tian Immortal Body of the Golden Sun Jinyang Sect. If I were to devour him, my Constitution would probably become much stronger, wouldn't it?"
"Shut up, it's not your turn to devour, besides, we're going to use Su Chen as a Spirit Herbs."
In their eyes, powerful Heavenly Prodigy are like Spirit Herbs.
Their method of cultivating Spirit Herbs was quite simple: they would lock them up, give them resources to cultivate from time to time, and then extract their blood to absorb and refine it every so often.
The Bloodthirsty Divine Sect's Cultivation Method involves absorbing and purifying the blood of other cultivators to enhance their Bloodthirsty Divine Art.
The function of this Cultivation Method is quite simple: to enhance combat power and to modify the physical body, thereby improving one's aptitude.
In fact, the Bloodthirsty Divine Sect had long been eyeing Su Chen. Over the years, they had deliberately laid many foreshadowings around the Haoran Sect, and then sent Haoran Sect Disciple out.
Finally, this time they caught Su Chen.
At that moment, footsteps suddenly sounded, and the previously noisy crowd immediately fell silent, all turning to look in a certain direction.
A Middle-aged Man wearing a mask and with extremely cold eyes walked over.
Everyone stood up and respectfully said, "Greetings, Elder!"
The Middle-aged Man nodded, gesturing for them to sit down, and then he glanced around.
The room fell into a deathly silence. No one dared to breathe, feeling a sense of suffocation, and no one dared to meet the Elder's gaze.
In the dimly lit room, everyone had their heads down.
After a long silence, the Elder finally spoke slowly, "Why aren't the lights on?"
"Also, could you please open the door to let in some fresh air? This Underground Passage is already rather stuffy, why keep the door closed?"
Beside the Elder, a Branch Master couldn't help but speak up:
"Elder, didn't you say that the Demonic Cult should act like the Demonic Cult, with its style and atmosphere? You took me to the Sect Master's place before, and they don't light lamps there, so I was thinking we should learn from them."
The Elder fell silent. "Did I say that?"
He took a deep breath and then ordered, "Turn on the lights."
Everyone then quickly turned on the lights in the room and opened the door, which greatly relieved the previously stuffy atmosphere.
The Elder took a deep breath and then asked, "Have things been arranged for Su Chen?"
"It's all arranged. Su Chen has been assigned to deal with the Demonic Cult in Chaos Stone City. He's currently at the Half Moon Inn and has already caught the fish. Everything is proceeding according to plan."
The Elder nodded in satisfaction. After strategizing for so long, he had finally achieved some results and caught the big fish, Su Chen.
Due to the nature of the Bloodthirsty Divine Cult's Cultivation Method, they usually target only the most Heavenly Prodigy individuals. Su Chen, a young Heavenly Prodigy who could easily defeat the Xuan Yang Immortal Body, must have an absolutely extraordinary Constitution.
If they could keep them in captivity, their Bloodthirsty Divine Sect might be able to produce a large number of powerful individuals.
As a sect grows stronger, it can cultivate more Heavenly Prodigy and powerful individuals. By repeating this process, the Divine Sect can directly overturn the world and become its ruler.
The Elder's eyes held a hint of madness.
"Su Chen probably never imagined that what was supposed to be an Ordinary mission would turn out to be Conspiracy specifically targeting him."
"The Elder is incredibly wise and resourceful. How could Su Chen, a mere junior, possibly compare to the Elder? He's probably still sweating profusely as he searches for the murderer, unaware that we're watching him closely."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Mocking voices echoed from inside the room, as if Su Chen were merely a plaything they could manipulate at will.
Although Su Chen is indeed quite powerful, and his growth over the years is probably no match for ordinary Profound Immortal, they have dispatched a powerful expert at the level of Grand Unity Golden Immortal in order to capture Su Chen this time.
The Elder's lips curled into a sinister smile. This time, he wasn't just after Su Chen; many Heavenly Prodigy and other people had come to the city, and he wanted to use this opportunity to make the Nine Stars Empire remember their Bloodthirsty Divine Cult once again.
Refining the entire Chaos Stone City would be a golden opportunity for them to demonstrate the power and prestige of the Bloodthirsty Divine Sect.
He had been planning this for a long time.
Furthermore, he had spent an extremely long time planning this scheme, and Su Chen was just an incidental addition. He hadn't initially included Su Chen in his calculations, but Su Chen's appearance later led him to readjust his plan.
In reality, Su Chen's benefits were certainly not as great as those from refining the entire Chaos Stone City, but that didn't stop Su Chen from providing long-term assistance.
If they could keep Su Chen captive for life, improving his Cultivation Level while simultaneously extracting his blood, it would be enough to raise the Bloodline of at least many people by one level.
