Unleashing a Storm of Blood and Wind!

The location of Mount Yu.

Layer upon layer of white clouds spread out, stretching for countless miles, like layers of snow-white earth.

Above the clouds.

Under the Vast Wisdom Tree.

The three patriarchs of Mount Yu and Ao Shang exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

Waiting for Ao Shang to ascend to heaven.

The smile on True Immortal Guangning's face vanished, and he frowned, saying, "This Luofu, having entered my Mount Yu and received all kinds of favors, still has his eyes on the little Min River!"

He was humiliated by an insignificant newly Primordial Spirit cultivator. If it weren't for the fact that Luofuzi was at least a cultivator from the Sorrow River with decent talent and ability, and now he was blessed with good fortune, True Immortal Guangning would have already crushed Luofuzi's soul with his palm to wash away the shame.

It was finally suppressed.

Seeing Lu Qingfeng using his power to order the Star-Devouring Seven Ancestors to do things for the Min River, and the Star-Devouring Seven Ancestors acting as if they had gained a great advantage, he felt increasingly frustrated and resentful.

Hearing what he said.

The True Immortal Ronghong, whose face was covered with wrinkles, chuckled and said, "Junior Brother, you are mistaken. Think about it. Today, Luofu is able to respect Ao Zhan with the same deference. Our Mount Yu Sect has also treated him well. When he becomes True Immortal in the future, he will surely respect our Mount Yu as much as he respects Min River. This is a good thing."

Upon hearing this, True Immortal Guangning's expression became conflicted. Finally, he looked at True Immortal Ronghong and said with a wry smile, "Senior Brother sees things more clearly."

True Immortal Ronghong smiled without saying a word.

However, the True Immortal Tongxuan said leisurely, "According to the intelligence from the Min River in Ancient Sorrow, Luofu is a man who values loyalty and integrity. He also has great fortune and has become a seventh-level Alchemist and weapon refiner. He must have had great luck and exceptional comprehension before. If we nurture him well and treat him sincerely, he may become a pillar of our Mount Yu Sect in the future."

Whether it's Tongxuan or Ronghong, their understanding is extremely thorough.

They all had high hopes for Luofuzi.

Seeing their respect for the Min River, he praised them even more.

Although the True Immortal Guangning was a bit impatient, he was not unreasonable.

After hearing his words twice, most of his dislike for Luofu disappeared. He wouldn't necessarily develop a liking for him immediately, but at least he wouldn't glare at him if they met again in the future.

Three days later.

Three streaks of light descended from the sky, heading straight for the upper reaches of the Thunderclap River.

"Your Majesty."

"Your Highness, Third Prince."

"General Luofu."

At the Min River Water Army, Dark Frost and Zhang Shu had been waiting outside. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the three streaks of light descend. Their gazes lingered on Lu Qingfeng, who was dressed in brocade robes and carrying a sharp sword, and their eyes revealed surprise.

Obviously.

The news that 'Luofuzi' had become the leader of the Mount Yu Sect had already spread since the battle three days ago.

"Let's discuss this in detail once we're inside."

Ao Zhan took the lead and walked towards the main general's tent.

Ao Lie, Lu Qingfeng, Dark Frost, and Zhang Shu followed closely behind.

Inside the tent.

Everyone took their seats.

Dark Frost asked first, "Your Majesty, was the trip successful?"

This question, of course, refers to the outcome of the handling of the conflict between the Min River and Wu River after the heavens ascended to heaven.

"Each side should be punished equally."

"I am removed from my position as Min River Dragon Lord, and temporarily appointed to lead the Min River Water Army; Ao Geng is removed from his position as Wu River Dragon Lord, and temporarily appointed to lead the Wu River Water Army. Depending on his performance in this battle, he will be reinstated after the war."

Ao Zhan spoke in a flat tone.

This punishment sounds severe—

The position of Second-Rank Dragon Lord was stripped away.

In reality, however, it was only a nominal removal of his divine status; his actual power remained undiminished, causing no serious harm. Moreover, the so-called "post-war restoration at discretion" essentially meant that he would definitely be reinstated to his original position.

To be honest, there is some impact.

Following the Heaven-Suppressing Army in this campaign to conquer East Sinking Continent, there will surely be rewards for those who succeed. However, due to the previous conflict, Min River's reward is now out of the question.

Or rather...

This punishment will be offset in advance by post-war rewards.

"This is already excellent."

Upon hearing this, Dark Frost finally felt relieved. Min River had no one to back it up, while Wu River had the support of the Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal. This outcome was indeed the best possible result for the Min River.

"This is all thanks to Senior Brother Luofu."

"Otherwise, he has the support of the Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal behind him at the Wu River, while I have no one at the Min River. If this matter were to reach the Grand Marshal's camp, how could it be so easily resolved?"

Ao Lie understood this principle and said loudly from the side.

His terrible waist injury had long since healed, and his complexion had returned to its rosy hue. Laughing, he stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Qingfeng, saying, "Thank you for your help this time, Senior Brother. Otherwise, I, Ao Lie, would probably have already perished at the hands of Ao Liang and Ao Zhi."

"You're too kind, Third Prince."

"Wu River provoked the Third Prince first, and the wound was covered in blood. How could the Grand Marshal turn a blind eye? Although the teacher made a mistake, he was only implicated by Red Cypress."

Lu Qingfeng quickly helped him up.

This is Ao Le's third brother. Ao Le is even closer to him than to her father. Although Lu Qingfeng is only an avatar at this moment, he dares not accept such a grand gesture.

He deserves credit for handling this matter in this way.

Ultimately, however, it was because the crimes committed by those on the Min River side were not thoroughly investigated, and they could indeed be dealt with leniently. In fact, if Red Cypress hadn't been Ao Zhan's disciple, Ao Zhan might have even been spared this punishment.

Pity.

The master and apprentice are one.

Even though Red Cypress was just a disciple Ao Zhan casually took in back then, in the eyes of outsiders, he was still part of the same lineage. When a disciple makes a mistake, the teacher cannot remain unscathed.

This is why even many powerful beings in the Primordial World are unwilling to casually accept disciples.

Nothing more.

Taking on disciples indiscriminately can lead to serious trouble for the disciple, and the teacher will also be implicated in the consequences. Similarly, if a teacher is in trouble, the disciple will also be involved.

"Senior brother, there is no need to be modest. The fact that Min River was able to escape unscathed this time is entirely due to your intervention."

Ao Lie stood up, his expression genuinely grateful, and said sincerely, "Senior Brother saved my life, and earlier you killed Ao Yin and Ao Pi, saving Guangyuan. This bow is not enough to express my gratitude. In the future, if Senior Brother has any orders, Ao Lie will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

This is a detailed account.

The favor was indeed great.

"I am a disciple of my teacher and also a native of the Min River. These are all my duties."

Lu Qingfeng said.

After this back—and -Ao Lie forth of thanks, they looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Laughter filled the tent.

Suddenly at this moment.

Buzz!

A crimson light shone brightly across the heavens and earth, causing the universe to tremble and the Heavencloud to disperse, instantly startling everyone.

"This is--"

"What happened?"

"It's the Bloodspring Demon Sect?!"

Ao Zhan, Dark Frost, and the others rushed out of the tent, took a step and landed in the void. Looking towards the eastern border of the East Sinking Continent, they saw endless blood light shining and boundless Blood Qi soaring into the sky at the end of the horizon.

A foul wind blew, blood rained down, and a pervasive atmosphere of violence filled the air.

Lu Qingfeng stood to the side, gazing at the scene, somewhat lost in thought, his expression occasionally blank and strange. Fortunately, everyone's attention was drawn to the strange phenomenon, and no one noticed.

The East Sinking Continent lies deep within the earth, its location unknown.

A Blood Sea stretches across the land.

That Blood Sea spans tens of thousands of miles, with rolling waves of blood within. Fish and shrimp do not thrive, and birds and insects do not come. All the malevolent energy of heaven and earth gathers here, making it the most ferocious place in the world, faintly connected to the unknown Netherworld.

The vengeful spirits sank in, their Blood Qi staining them, and they were condemned to eternal damnation.

Rolling waves of blood, overwhelming ferocity.

Among them stood two towering figures.

Upon closer inspection, they were indeed the two patriarchs of the Bloodspring Demon Sect—

Yu Gong and Miaoyu.

"The time has come."

Yu Gong's face was demonic. He suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with malevolence, faintly merging with the boundless Blood Sea. The void around his body swallowed up energy, like a black hole. The Blood Sea churned, with waves of blood mixed with the malevolent energy of heaven and earth surging into Yu Gong's body.

Endless and without end.

The same was true for Miaoyu on one side.

However, this engulfment had absolutely no impact compared to the vast Blood Sea.

"Senior brother."

"Once the 'Blood Abyss Method' is used, it contains immeasurable sins, and one will truly fall into the Demon Dao, with no hope of transcendence. Although this technique was discovered by the Blood Sea Sect, throughout history, only the Blood Sea Ancestor used it when the Blood Sea was overthrown, but it is unknown whether he ultimately succeeded. Whether this technique can break through the Chunshen Realm and reach the Nine Netherworlds is also unknown."

"You and me—"

Miaoyu frowned, which added to her charm.

Yu Gong laughed and said, "Junior Sister, are you scared?"

"Of course not."

Miaoyu was just worried that if this method failed, she would never see her senior brother again.

Miaoyu looked at Yu Gong, her eyes filled with affection and reluctance to part.

Yu Gong shook his head. "Bound by heaven and earth, we will never be free. If we do not become demons among demons, even if we live for ten thousand years, we will still have to reincarnate. We may not be able to meet again in the next life. The 'Blood Abyss Method' has harsh conditions. We have waited for thousands of years to finally get this once-in-a-millennium opportunity. If we give up, we will truly be trapped in this tiny place in the human world, never seeing the vastness beyond the heavens."

"I don't want to."

"I'm not reconciled."

Yu Gong gazed up at the sky, his eyes piercing through the earth, as if seeing boundless silence beyond the void. The more he cultivated, the more he comprehended the universe, and the more he realized the insignificance of this world.

"Rather than die of old age in Chunshen when his lifespan is almost over."

"Or perhaps leave this world and wander aimlessly in the void."

"Why not take advantage of this upheaval and go all out!"

Yu Gong's face showed a look of madness as he looked at Miaoyu with burning desire and longing in his eyes.

Miaoyu remained silent.

After a long while, she looked up at Yu Gong and said, "Miaoyu is willing to follow her senior brother."

"Good!"

Yu Gong exclaimed in delight, pointing to the heavens Outer Dao, "The Nine Continents of Chunshen are merging into the Ancient Sorrow Continent. The secrets of heaven are in chaos, and the East Sinking Continent's suppression of the Blood Sea is at its weakest. The upheaval of heaven and earth can even be used as leverage to help the two of us to shake up the Blood Sea and overthrow the East Sinking Continent."

"By sacrificing countless Spirit Birth, we can transform into a blood abyss to devour immeasurable sins, which will surely help us break free from the shackles of heaven and earth, emulate the Blood Sea Ancestor, and ascend to the Nine Netherworlds!"

As he spoke.

Yu Gong spread his arms wide, and his clothes disappeared instantly.

"Senior brother."

Seeing this, Miaoyu stepped forward, her clothes falling off as she walked, revealing a stunningly beautiful figure.

He embraced Yu Gong.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Quietly feel each other's heartbeats.

The two minds interacted seamlessly, as if water and milk had blended together. Unbeknownst to them, patterns appeared beneath their feet. These patterns crisscrossed, instantly extending in all directions. They revealed boundless mystery; even Primordial Spirit True One, if unfamiliar with formations, would feel dizzy and disoriented upon just a glance.

Blood-Pattern Grand Formation spread out like Blood Sea.

Up.

Connecting to various parts of the void, streaks of blood-red lines pierce through the void, echoing the "Abyss-Suppressing Grand Formation" in many places on the East Sinking Continent, such as the Ghost-Cry Maze.

Down.

It penetrated deep into the Blood Sea, spreading endlessly.

Lines are drawn up and down, in all directions.

In a daze.

It seemed to form an endless abyss. Upon closer inspection, the endless patterns resembled the outline of a towering giant. The patterns were the giant's blood, skin, and hair.

The giant stood on the Blood Sea, half of his body Blood Sea within it. His hands held up the earth, as if he were cradling the entire East Sinking Continent in his grasp.

I don't know how much time passed.

The giant in the Blood Sea suddenly opened his eyes—

In an instant, a burst of blood-red light shot out from his eyes, reaching thousands of feet high and illuminating the entire East Sinking Continent.
