As Kong Jiao observed the two inner sect disciples, Cao Meng's voice did not pause. His rough, booming voice continued to ring across the Giant Spirit Boat. "This time, our training grounds are in Beiling Commandery, right at the edge of the territory north of our Cangwu Sect."
"Our targets are the remnants of a force known as the Blood-Robed Alliance. They specialize in using the blood of cultivators and mortals to aid their cultivation, and every one of them has blood staining their hands. Once you encounter them, do not hesitate. Kill them with all your strength."
"The Blood-Robed Alliance? They cultivate with the blood of cultivators and mortals?" At those words, Han Dong flashed through Kong Jiao's mind, along with the attire of the female Blood-Robed Alliance disciple who had intercepted him outside Frostmoon Altar.
Both wore blood-red robes.
Combined with the intelligence he had obtained from the second-tier outer sect disciples of the Cangwu Sect, he could now more or less confirm that this Blood-Robed Alliance was most likely the force behind Han Dong.
Using the blood of cultivators and mortals for cultivation referred to using Human-Spirit Essence to nurture Spirit Wheels.
Cao Meng had merely phrased it vaguely. The sect must have specifically instructed him not to reveal information related to Human-Spirit Essence.
What Kong Jiao could understand, Feng An, who had also experienced the Frostmoon Altar disaster, could naturally discern as well.
Kong Jiao immediately glanced sideways at Feng An from the corner of his eye. The latter gave a slight nod, his expression grave. Neither of them spoke.
However, some disciples aboard the boat had more active minds, and one of them asked a question everyone cared about.
"Senior Brother Cao, does that Blood-Robed Alliance have any experts in the Wheel-Ascension Realm?"
This question
