The Zaohua Taoist School was incredibly powerful—powerful enough to disregard some of the top sects in the Martial Arts World.
The Nine Prisons Demonic Sects had once been incredibly powerful. At their height, the nine sects had been able to match the combined might of dozens of righteous sects, their fearsome might like a demonic blaze reaching the heavens.
But after the battle between the righteous and demonic factions several hundred years ago, the demonic path had suffered a crushing blow. They had also turned on one another, fallen into disgrace, and eventually become what they were now: without some real strength, they hardly dared show their faces in the Martial Arts World.
Now, these demonic sects seemed to have recovered a little of their strength, and were no longer content to remain hidden underground. They wanted to return to the Martial Arts World, and news of demonic martial artists appearing had begun to emerge from all over.
Normally, the Zaohua Taoist School couldn't be bothered with this sort of thing. They had no interest in becoming the leader of the Martial Arts World, and as long as the demonic sects didn't provoke them, they wouldn't act.
It was just that the Seven Killings Demonic Palace had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Zaohua Taoist School had been bored and decided to make a move against Shaolin Temple, so they had dealt with the Seven Killings Demonic Palace along the way.
Hearing Zhang Boduan's instructions, the young Daoist nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.
Zhang Boduan, however, did not water the plant. He simply stood there holding the watering can, lost in thought.
The Blood Demon Flower seemed to sense its chance. It opened its enormous mouth and lunged at Zhang Boduan.
