Blood Demon Captured

"Alright, since neither of you has any objections, let's make our move tonight. We would appreciate your assistance in helping the Cheng Family completely eliminate this threat of the Blood Demon."

Cheng Ruidá said with great enthusiasm.

"You two should return to your rooms to recuperate. I still need to mobilize my clansmen and set up formations to trap and kill the Blood Demon."

After Cheng Ruidá left, Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun went together to the guest rooms in the backyard of the Cheng Family.

"Junior Brother Wu, once we slay the Blood Demon tonight, the Cheng Family's mission will be over. You completed this mission with remarkable ease."

Zuo Shuiyun's tone carried a hint of mockery.

After a moment's thought, Song Wen understood what he meant.

"Senior Sister Zuo, rest assured, after returning to the sect, I will truthfully report the details of this mission to the Mission Hall, and I will not dare to claim any credit. I am sure Elder Lu of the Mission Hall will distribute the rewards according to our contributions."

Zuo Shuiyun glanced at Song Wen with disdain.

"It's good that you understand."

After saying that, she took flight and flew towards her guest room building.

The Cheng Family's guest rooms are individual small buildings, and Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun live in different buildings.

That night.

Beside the small river in front of the Cheng Family, in a rice paddy.

It was the season when the spirit rice ripened, and the rice paddies were a golden expanse, with the heavy ears of spirit rice drooping low.

A strange fragrance wafted from the center of the rice paddy.

This fragrance holds no appeal for humans, but it possesses a deadly allure for Demon Beast.

A tiger demon, over ten feet tall, suddenly appeared from nowhere and ran towards the center of the rice paddy.

Its massive body crushed a large area of rice, leaving the paddy fields in a state of utter devastation.

When the tiger demon was still a hundred meters away from the center of the rice paddy, its body suddenly split in two, cut in two at the waist, its internal organs and blood scattering all over the ground.

The Blood Demon emerged from the spirit rice, ripped out the tiger demon's heart, brought it to its mouth, took a bite, and chewed as it headed towards the center of the spirit field.

The Blood Demon is quite intelligent; it has been lurking in the rice paddy for some time now.

Finding no Cheng Family cultivators nearby, it dared to show itself and kill the tiger demon that tried to steal its food.

At this moment, the Blood Demon brothers stood tall and proud.

Since that night when it abducted more than ten women from the Cheng Family, this beast has experienced male pleasure. In the past few days, it has frequently sneaked into the spirit field and eaten a lot of Huo Yangyin.

It was precisely because its mating season had arrived that the Blood Demon seemed to have become much more restless, losing its previous restraint.

In the middle of the rice paddies, there is not only that peculiar fragrance, but also an allure that comes from the depths of one's blood.

It was this temptation from the depths of its bloodline that guided it, constantly killing members of the Cheng Lineage and devouring their flesh and Essence Blood.

It was as if, in the middle of a rice paddy, there was the Essence Blood of many members of the Cheng Lineage, waiting for it to devour it.

Soon, the Blood Demon arrived at the center of the Spirit Field.

A pile of yellow powder; that enticing aroma emanates from this pile of powder.

Next to the yellow powder was a porcelain basin containing the Essence Blood of the Cheng Lineage members.

The Blood Demon approached the Essence Blood, preparing to drink it in large gulps, when it suddenly realized something. Its figure transformed into a blur and darted away from the rice paddy.

A beast is always a beast. The moment it was Demon-Luring Powder, it was destined to fall into the trap carefully prepared by the Cheng Family.

A hemispherical, transparent array barrier suddenly rose up, trapping the Blood Demon within.

The Blood Demon slammed headfirst into the array barrier, which flashed with golden light. The Blood Demon was thrown back and crashed inside the array.

Cheng Ruidá, holding a Formation Plate, flew through the air and stood above the array.

"You beast, you can't escape today! Surrender obediently, hahaha..."

Cheng Ruidá laughed triumphantly.

The Blood Demon raised its head, its eyes flashing with ferocity as it stared at Cheng Ruidá in mid-air, its gaze filled with hatred and killing intent, as if Cheng Ruidá were its mortal enemy.

With a burst of strength from his limbs, the Blood Demon leaped into the air, attempting to pounce on Cheng Ruidá was in mid-air.

The array barrier glowed with golden light. Before the Blood Demon even touched the barrier, it was already feeling uncomfortable from the golden light, and it bared its teeth and howled strangely.

Cheng Ruidá cast several Method Formulas at the Formation Plate.

Instantly, golden light shone brightly within the formation.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

The Blood Demon let out a series of miserable cries, as if it could not withstand the golden light and fell back to the ground.

Cheng Ruidá had no intention of letting the Blood Demon go so easily, and continued to manipulate the formation, making the golden light even stronger.

The Blood Demon's face contorted as it roared loudly.

Its crimson skin, unable to withstand the golden light, gradually began to fester.

About half an incense stick later, the Blood Demon's roars and struggles gradually weakened, and its aura also became much weaker.

Cheng Ruidá stopped activating the formation.

"Cheng Family, why did you stop? Why didn't you just use the formation to kill this demon?"

Seeing this, Zuo Shuiyun was somewhat puzzled.

She leaped up, walked to Cheng Ruidá's side, and asked.

"The Blood Demon has slaughtered tens of thousands of members of my Cheng Lineage, becoming a nightmare for many. To slay this demon, it is only natural to execute him publicly in front of all the clansmen, in order to dispel the fear in their hearts."

Zuo Shuiyun nodded, glanced at the blood basin in the center of the formation, and didn't ask any more questions.

Now that the Blood Demon has been captured, the mission is complete.

She realized at this point that Cheng Ruidá was not as simple as he seemed.

It's better to avoid trouble. Whatever Cheng Ruidá wants to do is a matter for the Cheng Family, and has nothing to do with her, a sect elder who came to carry out a mission.

Cheng Ruidá looked at the Blood Demon trapped in the formation, his eyes filled with undisguised eagerness.

He gazed at her for a long time, as if admiring an unparalleled beauty, before finally looking away.

"Elder Zuo, you have done a great favor for my Cheng Family. Please stay at the Cheng Family for a few days. After I have publicly killed the Blood Demon, I will lead the entire clan to express our gratitude to Elder Zuo."

Song Wen, who had been observing everything from a distance, suddenly flew over and said.

"Cheng Family, there's no need for such formalities. This matter is settled. Senior Sister Zuo and I will return to the sect tonight to report back."

Cheng Ruidá said, "Elder Wu, although our Cheng Family is just a small Foundation Establishment Lineage, the two of you saved our Cheng Family from dire straits. If our Cheng Family does nothing in return, wouldn't we become a laughing stock in the Cultivation World?"

"Please stay at the Cheng Family for a few days. After dealing with the Blood Demon, I will definitely bring you generous gifts to thank you."

Song Wen smiled slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, Cheng Family, but I have important matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer. I will leave tonight. Senior Sister Zuo, what about you?"

Zuo Shuiyun gave Song Wen a strange look.

Normally, Song Wen gave her the impression of being timid and submissive, a very mediocre person.

Today, however, he insisted on leaving the Cheng Family as soon as possible, and even Cheng Ruidá's promise of considerable benefits could not keep the rather strapped Song Wen.

Thinking of the basin of Essence Blood at the center of the formation, Zuo Shuiyun suddenly realized that Song Wen might have discovered something during the time she was Alchemy.

"Patriarch Cheng Family, Junior Brother Wu is right. The Cheng Family's affairs are settled. There is no point in us staying. It would be better to return to the sect tonight."
