Immortal Seed: Who Dares Kill My Disciple?

The enormous blood-colored lotus unfurled within the Underground Palace. Even the Er Family members felt their hearts tremble, dazzled by the sight.

Especially when they saw the considerable number of Blood Lotus Seeds, everyone present grew hopeful, wild fantasies stirring in their minds.

Some cultivators who had expected nothing muttered inwardly, Excellent! With so many treasures here, perhaps I can fish in troubled waters—snatch one and leave!

But the very next moment...

A hoarse, savage laugh suddenly rang out from among the Er Family's ranks.

"Good, good. This place truly did need cultivators' flesh and blood as a sacrifice before it would reveal itself.

"My efforts to share news of the treasures here and invite you all were not wasted."

At those words, the other cultivators' thoughts froze, their delighted expressions stiffening.

"What does that mean? Damn it, is this a trap laid by those bastards from the Five Viscera Temple?"

"Hmph! Those Five Viscera Temple bastards talk big! Do they really think we're all made of clay?"

Everyone forcibly tore their gazes away from the Blood Lotus Seeds and turned to watch the Er Family warily.

Immediately afterward, however, a formidable aura surged from the cloaked figure among the Er Family, striking terror into everyone's faces, Fang Shu's included.

That aura was astonishingly close to Foundation Establishment. Or rather, the figure had deliberately suppressed his power to keep it below Foundation Establishment and avoid provoking the secret realm's restrictions.

The cloaked figure at the center of the Er Family's ranks lightly waved his sleeve.

"Kill them all. They will make good fertilizer for our Er Family."

"Yes, Ancestor!"

Shouts of acknowledgment rose from the Er Family members.

Then the beautiful Er Family matron, Er Daiyang, Er Daiyuan, and the others all struck, beginning their purge of the Underground Palace.
