The four of them listened to the Blood God Sect Master's solemn words and nodded firmly.
After the enormous phantom on the throne vanished from the great hall, a long silence passed before the man in blood-red robes at the head of the group slowly rose. His appearance was utterly ordinary, the sort that would disappear into a crowd without a single distinguishing feature.
Yet his blood-red pupils brimmed with an icy chill. Anyone who stared long enough would discover that shadowy ghosts seemed to hover around him, flickering in and out of sight. Their strength, too, was terrifying in the extreme.
Behind him, another man slowly stood. He was gaunt, his deathly pale face giving him the air of a sickly young nobleman. Despite his refined manners, his blood-red eyes overflowed with confidence, as though everything beneath heaven lay within his calculations.
These two were the holy sons the Blood God Sect had poured all its resources into nurturing in this era: Blood Spirit Child and Blood Demon Child!
"I never imagined the Sect Master would be so wary of those so-called prodigies. None of the monsters from the superpowers are involved this time. As for the rest, there's nothing to fear."
Hearing Blood Demon Child's words, Blood Spirit Child gave him a disdainful glance and said slowly,
"Just carry out the mission Master entrusted to us to the letter. What's there to discuss?"
"Besides, don't underestimate the heroes of the world."
"Whether it's the War God Hall's Goddess of War or the Yellow Springs Azure Skies Sect's Azure Falls King, they're formidable opponents. What's more, I received word that the Feather Spirit Dynasty's Heavenly Demon, Bai Yu, is also taking part in this contest for the divine mountain."
At those words, disdain appeared on Blood Demon Child's face.
