Fang Lang looked shaken, as though he had mentioned something terrifying. He quickly clamped his mouth shut.
"The Venerables of the Blood Refinement Domain?"
Qin Hao was surprised. "Venerables wouldn't act so lightly, would they? The Great Scarlet Reach has Venerables too, but none of them would make a move unless they had no other choice."
For a Venerable to act was tantamount to a battle that would shake the ages.
The Southern Reach was one example.
All Eight Great Venerables had entered the fray, and several had fallen.
That had been because of the Nether Demon World.
Otherwise, those Venerables would never have acted rashly.
Venerables were more like guardians who held a territory.
Saint Martial Grandmasters remained the main fighting force.
But now...
If a Venerable came, even with the four statues of the Sun, Moon, and Stars,
Qin Hao would have nowhere to run.
Fang Lang shook his head and lowered his voice. "Qin Hao, there's something you don't know. The Blood Refinement Domain is different from the other great domains."
"A hundred years ago, the Blood Refinement Domain was ruled by the Devil Race."
As they moved forward, Fang Lang continued his account.
Qin Hao nodded. "I know. It's mentioned on the map of the True Martial Continent."
"You're thinking of it too simply!"
Fang Lang shook his head again, his voice grave. "The map barely scratches the surface. For instance, the Devil Race that ruled the Blood Refinement Domain wasn't actually from the True Martial Continent..."

were human too. They merely practiced demonic arts, behaved with extreme perversity, and often slaughtered without restraint.
For that reason, others rejected them and called them the Devil Race.
The two sides frequently came to blows and were outright enemies.
But...
Qin Hao was startled
