Starting as the First Seat, Signing In for the Ultimate Emperor Armament!

Thinking of his father, who had left so freely, Hua Yunfei gave an awkward laugh. "My father has already laid down his burdens and gone out to wander."

"Hahaha, good kid, you really did it."

Xuan Cheng Daoren didn't mind at all; instead, he greatly admired Hua Cangqiong's actions.

He remembered that he had also planned to do the same.

But after being beaten by his old man, he became obedient and honestly "dematerialized" into seclusion.

He truly envied young Cangqiong.

Xuan Cheng Daoren said, "Young Yunfei, you said just now, what's the use of keeping these Blood Demons alive?"

Hua Yunfei replied, "Our sect seeks longevity through the 'Gou' (cunning/cowardly) path, and the main point is the 'Gou' itself."

"If word gets out that our Backer Sect can simultaneously attack the Blood Demons and wipe out an equally powerful force like the Nether Ghost Palace."

"Won't that immediately push the Backer Sect into the spotlight?"

"Before long, the entire Eastern Region will know that our Backer Sect has been hiding its strength, with multiple Approaching Dao Realm ancestors guarding it."

"Even the smarter ones might guess that what we've revealed now might not be our true strength!"

"Your analysis is correct. It was my recklessness, and I almost made a grave mistake for the sect."

"Wait a moment, I'll go offer incense to the Backer Sect Founder and ask for his forgiveness."

"Having slept for so long, I almost completely forgot the sect's core philosophy!"

Xuan Cheng Daoren's expression turned serious as he understood Hua Yunfei's meaning.

Keep the Blood Demon Clan alive, and let them be scapegoats!

Although the Sun Moon Divine Church knew the truth of the matter.

But for their own reputation and dignity, and to prevent the Backer Sect from exposing their scandals, they would absolutely turn a blind eye!

Pretend not to know!

With scapegoats, the Backer Sect could not only destroy the Nether Ghost Palace but also seize all of its resources.

More importantly, on the surface, this matter was caused by the Blood Demon Clan.

What did it have to do with the Backer Sect?

In secret, the Backer Sect, having obtained a large amount of resources, could develop stealthily and grow stronger at a faster pace!

The 'Gou' principle above all else!

Everything must be done cautiously!

Eliminate all risks!

Annihilate all dangers that might or might not occur!

Hua Yunfei and Xuan Cheng Daoren hit it off immediately. After discussing, they carved slave seals into the remaining Blood Demons, with Xiaxuan Zhenren taking control of them.

Chapter Twenty: Everyone's a Schemer

After planting the slave seals, Xiaxuan Zhenren controlled them and led them towards the Nether Ghost Palace.

The sect's crisis had been resolved; it was time for a great harvest!

"Martial Uncle, I just heard that Blood Demon say their Blood Demon Ancestor is at the ninth layer of the Approaching Dao Realm... Martial Uncle Xuanhe and the others..."

An elder, who was a full eight hundred years old, spoke respectfully, his heart filled with worry for the Sect Master and the ancestors who had attacked the Blood Demon clan's secret realm.

The ninth layer of the Approaching Dao Realm was just one step away from the complete Approaching Dao Realm.

In this era of declining magic, they were almost at the pinnacle of the pyramid.

And if he remembered correctly, Xuanhe Daoren's cultivation was only at the fourth layer of the Approaching Dao Realm.

Facing the Blood Demon Ancestor, it would be difficult to win.

"No need to worry."

Xuan Cheng Daoren's expression was relaxed, and he smiled, "My senior brother is far more powerful than I am!"

"Far more powerful than Martial Uncle Xuan Cheng!"

"Then Martial Uncle Xuanhe's cultivation..."

"Hiss... So, the cultivation of our Backer Sect's martial uncles is actually this terrifying!"

Several elders exclaimed, their faces filled with shock.

Compared to their martial uncles, they were still hiding too much!

Martial Uncle Xuan Cheng was already in the Approaching Dao Realm, yet he had secretly hidden six layers of cultivation.

He had given everyone a big surprise.

Many elders secretly took note of their insights, thinking that after this matter was settled, they would definitely review the Great Dao Canon left by the Backer Sect Founder!

Each of them had only hidden three or four minor realms at most, which was far too few.

In the future, they needed to hide more!

The Blood Demon Clan's secret realm was located thirty thousand miles north of the Nether Ghost Palace.

After deduction by Tianji Zhenren, the location was quickly determined.

Led by Yun Tian Zhenren, the strong experts of the Backer Sect instantly broke through the secret realm entrance and rushed in.

A fierce battle immediately broke out!

The Blood Demon Clan had already received the news and made thorough preparations to fight.

They didn't have many numbers, but there were still around 150 people. If the Blood Demons below the Nascent Soul stage were included, there were over 600.

Almost every Backer Sect elder faced two, or even three or four Blood Demons of the same realm.

The battle was extremely difficult!

And the chief seats like Tianji Zhenren faced dozens of Blood Demons of the same realm!

The battle was brutal, and they were almost instantly injured.

It had to be said that the Blood Demon Clan, even in decline, was still very powerful.

Their Heavenly Human realm cultivators were far more numerous than the Backer Sect appeared to be.

Counting them, there were dozens, approaching the strength of an ordinary Holy Land-level force!

There were even six cultivators at the Approaching Dao Realm.

The battlefield above the Blood Demon Clan's secret realm.

Xuanhe Daoren and six Approaching Dao Realm Blood Demons, led by the Blood Demon Ancestor, were locked in a fierce battle!

As seven Approaching Dao Realm cultivators fought, the sky was torn apart, and the entire Blood Demon Clan secret realm trembled violently, showing fine cracks.

This was not the Blood Demon Clan's ancient settlement, but one built later.

It could not withstand the combat of seven Approaching Dao Realm level experts!

"Backer Sect disciples, heed my command!"

Xuanhe Daoren, who was still fighting with ease against the six Approaching Dao Realm Blood Demons, shouted in a low voice, "Unseal the restrictions, release your cultivation, and hit them hard!"

Instantly, Xuanhe Daoren, who had already erupted to the eighth level of the Approaching Dao Realm, saw his cultivation surge again.

Under the horrified gazes of the Blood Demon Ancestor and the others, his cultivation surged to the peak of the Approaching Dao Realm!

Holy might appeared on his body!

It was as if he could cross the Saint Gate at any moment and become a Saint!

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor was going mad. Xuanhe Daoren, who was originally only at the fourth level of the Approaching Dao Realm, After fighting for a while, he became the sixth level, and then the eighth level.

Now, he wasn't hiding it anymore and unleashed his peak Approaching Dao Realm cultivation!

"Ancestor, what do we do?"

The five Approaching Dao Realm Blood Demons were terrified, their legs trembling, and they cast their gazes towards the Blood Demon Ancestor.

"There is no turning back, fight with me!"

"We have the numerical advantage, even if he is at the peak of the Approaching Dao Realm, he can't possibly take us all down!"

The seven figures entangled again, and the entire Blood Demon secret realm trembled even more violently.
