Chapter 1985: Ying Wu's Grand Gift Divine Blood Sect.
Song Wen stepped out of the Teleportation Array with a blood cocoon ten feet tall, his spiritual sense sweeping outward like a gale.
He had been away for nearly a year, but everything in the Divine Blood Sect remained as usual.
Suddenly, Song Wen sensed something. His expression shifted, and he rose into the air, flying toward the sect's main hall.
Several inner sect elders, including Xuan Li, had gathered in the main hall.
When Song Wen flew into the hall, they froze for a moment before delight spread across their faces.
"Sect Master, you're back!"
Song Wen landed directly before the seat of honor. After sitting down, he asked,

"Good."
Song Wen looked at the sparse handful of inner sect elders before him, then changed the subject.
"How is the war in Candle Dragon Province progressing?"
Xuan Li said, "According to the latest reports, our army has captured several major cities and is advancing toward the Pagoda Temple's stronghold. Wherever our army passes, every force connected to the Pagoda Temple is uprooted, and all their treasures are plundered."
Song Wen nodded slightly. His gaze shifted to a gaunt male cultivator.
"Elder Baleful Devourer, how is the crafting of those forty-nine Flood Dragon Banners progressing?"
Baleful Devourer said, "Reporting to the Sect Master, more than half are complete. Given another ten years, all of them should be finished."
"Well done," Song Wen praised him, then asked, "Are we short of any spiritual materials at present?"
"There are no shortages of spiritual materials," Baleful Devourer said.
A satisfied smile appeared on Song
