The Blood Demon Uprising, Blood Shadow Guo Ming's Backstab, and Bai Hongjiang's Final Exit

"Lord Situ, shall we end the trial early?" someone suggested.

Jin Shiren was also considering this issue. Whether or not there was a trial was not important; Mo Yumeng's safety was the most important thing.

"That's not appropriate. Master Mo must have his reasons for concealing his identity to participate in the imperial examination. If we abruptly interrupt, it might displease him."

Murong Feng, a late-stage Martial Saint Realm expert from the Linyun Chamber of Commerce, stood up to stop them.

Situ Yun nodded, agreeing with Murong Feng's assessment.

Murong Feng continued, "Our most important task now is to ensure Master Mo's safety... Damn it, how did the Blood Demon People appear in Blackwater Valley?"

On the projected screen, countless, densely packed Blood Demon People suddenly appeared near Blackwater Lake.

"No, this isn't Blood Demon People, but Demon Person that has completely lost its mind, and..."

Situ Yun said through gritted teeth, "They were all once residents of Cloud and Mist City."

"Quickly enter the valley to rescue..."

Just then, an SUV sped towards them from the direction of Cloud and Mist City.

The car came to a sudden stop in front of everyone.

A City Defense Army, covered in blood, stepped out of the vehicle.

"City Lord, the Blood Demon Sect, Cloud and Mist City is full of the Blood Demon Sect members, Formation Mark Bureau members, Linyun Chamber of Commerce members, and most of the City Defense Army —they're all Blood Demon Sect members."

"What did you say?" Situ Yun asked in shock and anger.

The City Defense Army handed Situ Yun a cell phone, which was playing footage of the chaos within Cloud and Mist City.

After watching the video, Situ Yun's face was filled with disbelief, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

He was just a privileged son of an official who came to Cloud and Mist City to build up his resume. He was used to a life of luxury and had never encountered anything like this before.

Situ Yun's head was buzzing at that moment.

Meanwhile, all the Martial Saint Realm experts stood up, exchanged glances, and in perfect unison flew towards Cloud and Mist City.

The remaining Martial Master Realm and Martial Venerable Realm who couldn't fly looked at Situ Yun.

Situ Yun took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice, "Commander Guo's men stay behind to cooperate with Deputy City Lord Bai in dealing with the Demon Person of Blackwater Valley. The rest of you, get in the carriages and head back to the city."

The sudden appearance of such a large number of Blood Demon People in Cloud and Mist City must be due to the involvement of high-ranking officials in Cloud and Mist City.

Situ Yun's first suspect was Bai Hongjiang.

The ability to silently transform most of the city's City Defense Army into Blood Demon People is something most people couldn't do.

Guo Ming is Bai Hongjiang's man, and Situ Yun would never allow them to enter the city at this time.

No one mentioned rescuing the students from Blackwater Valley.

With such a massive number of Demon Person suddenly appearing, these students are beyond saving.

Demon Person half-human, half-demon beings. They lack reason, possess innate skills, Li Qiang, and never tire.

Most importantly, once this thing is near death, it will Self-Destruct.

Even a Martial Saint Realm expert wouldn't be able to withstand a collective "explosion" from Demon Person.

Soon, only Bai Hongjiang and Guo Ming remained outside the trial grounds.

Bai Hongjiang gazed in the direction of the Cloud and Mist Mountain Range, his face extremely gloomy.

He knew that something was probably wrong with the demon ape leader.

Either they broke the alliance and chose betrayal, or something happened.

But either outcome would be fatal for Bai Hongjiang.

"The plan in Cloud and Mist City has failed; we shouldn't stay here any longer," Bai Hongjiang said helplessly.

Seven Martial Saint Realm experts are enough to wipe out those Blood Demon People in Cloud and Mist City.

Without the cooperation of the Magical Beast in the Cloud and Mist Mountain Range, activating the Blood Curse Grand Formation would be meaningless.

This wave of attacks has been a huge loss for the Blood Demon Sect.

Not only did the demon ape leader gain a large amount of resources for nothing, but he also lost all the hard work he had put into building up Cloud and Mist City over the past ten years.

What pained him most was that his only son, White City, was also lost.

Fortunately, Ling Yi and the suddenly appearing Daoist priest Mo Yumeng would be buried with his son, which was some consolation for him.

Kill them all!

Bai Hongjiang glanced at Jin Shiren and the others remaining at the scene, then waved to his Blood Demon Sect subordinates.

Even if Jin Shiren were completely oblivious, he would now know Bai Hongjiang's true identity.

But what good would it do to know? With their limited strength, they wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

It's pitiful that Jin Shiren served as Bai Hongjiang and his son's tool for more than two years, only to end up like this.

"Let's go to Cang Gu City!"

Turning around, Bai Hongjiang was about to return to his car.

"Vice City Lord Bai, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

Just then, Guo Ming's voice rang out softly.

Bai Hongjiang stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Guo Ming, and frowned, saying, " Guo Ming, what do you mean by this?"

"Literal meaning!"

You want to kill me?

Seeing the murderous intent in Guo Ming's eyes, Bai Hongjiang frowned.

Guo Ming was only at the Pinnacle of Martial Practitioner, while he himself was already at the early stage of Martial Venerable.

There's a difference of two whole realms; Guo Ming should be aware of that.

Where does this guy get his confidence?

Most importantly, why would Guo Ming want to kill him? It makes absolutely no sense.

"I don't understand. Can you tell me your reasons for betraying me?"

"I, Guo Ming, the Blood Shadow, am carrying out my god's command: Kill!"

As Guo Ming's voice fell, one Clone after another emerged from behind Guo Ming, Clone directly towards the Imperial Guard surrounding Bai Hongjiang.

Blood Shadow Guo Ming possesses Pinnacle Martial Saint Realm strength, Clone early Martial Venerable Realm strength.

Sharing other Blood Shadow skills: Shadow Walk, Concealment, Rapid Speed, Divine Movement Step, Rushing Thunder Fist, Flight, Void, Clone, Spatial Jump, Thunder Control, Thunder Wings, Thunder Form Condensation, Thunder Rule, Thunder Domain!

Seeing his men slaughtered in the blink of an eye, without Jade Emperor to fight back, Bai Hongjiang was shocked.

"You're not Guo Ming, so who are you?"

"Dead men don't need to know too much."

The figure of Blood Shadow Guo Ming suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Bai Hongjiang.

Rushing Thunder Fist!

"Boom!"

In the blink of Thunder, Bai Hongjiang's upper body was blasted away.

Poor Bai Hongjiang didn't even have a chance to struggle before his scenes were cut short.

With a disdainful glance at Bai Hongjiang's mangled corpse, Guo Ming took to the air and flew towards Cloud and Mist City.

At this moment, in the Blackwater Valley, Ling Yi withdrew his Field of Vision from the Blood Shadow Guo Ming.

Looking at the Eighth Tier Blood Shadow Thorn Poison Vine that was still rampaging everywhere, Ling Yi couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

No one knew that Ling Yi had single-handedly resolved this crisis.

Even if it were said out loud, probably no one would believe that a sixteen-year-old boy could turn the tide and save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Cloud and Mist City.

" Ling Yi, I have half an hour left!"

At this moment, Mo Yumeng looked at Ling Yi with some panic.

"It's not the final step yet." Ling Yi shook his head.

"No, Ling Yi, I can't wait any longer. I don't want to die. I want to live, even if it's in another way."

"Think carefully. Once you become Blood Shadow, your life and death will be in my hands from now on."

"I had no choice!" Mo Yumeng said helplessly.

No one understood the horror of Tribulation of Nine Deaths and One Life better than her.

Her Shang-Chi was the Ethereal, like thin smoke, and could dissipate at any moment.

Since she lacked Karmic Luck and was burdened with an inevitable death, Mo Yumeng didn't believe she could survive it.

Seeing Mo Yumeng's serious expression, Ling Yi nodded and said, "Okay!"

After Ling Yi finished speaking, he raised his finger, and a bolt of Thunder condensed at his fingertip. The next moment, he pierced Mo Yumeng's forehead.

A finger-sized hole appeared in Mo Yumeng's forehead, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for killing Rank Sixth Pin Daoist Master Mo Yumeng. You have gained 65 Hunting Points!"

"Ding! Detected that Sixth Pin Daoist Master Mo Yumeng meets the conditions for Blood Shadow Summoning. Summon now?"

" Summon!"

Upon Ling Yi's confirmation, Mo Yumeng's body vanished instantly.

Meanwhile, a new Blood Shadow appeared in Ling Yi's system.

Blood Shadow Mo Yumeng went directly from Sixth Pin Daoist Master to Ninth Pin Great Perfection level Uncanny Dao Master, and her Spiritual Sense and Divine Sense also reached the Ninth Pin Great Perfection Realm.

At this moment, Ling Yi could clearly Perception that his own Spiritual Sense had become several times stronger.

Even without any skills, one can shatter mountains and split rocks simply by relying on powerful Spiritual Sense Divine Sense.

With a thought, Mo Yumeng reappeared in front of Ling Yi.

"Do you feel anything?" Ling Yi asked.

"So powerful!" Mo Yumeng exclaimed in surprise.

Mo Yumeng waved her hand, and the earth began to tremble.

"Hey, stop messing around!"

Ling Yi was speechless. With Mo Yumeng's current Divine Sense, one move from her would probably wipe out Blackwater Valley.

No, it's not just Blackwater Valley; probably half of the Cloud and Mist Mountain Range will suffer.

Ling Yi asked curiously, "How do you feel now compared to before?"

Mo Yumeng raised her right hand and swept it in the air, instantly forming a Heavenly Mystery Dao Inscription.

In the past, Ling Yi would not have been able to tell what it was, but because Mo Yumeng had become Blood Shadow, Ling Yi had also mastered the Heavenly Deduction Technique.

This is a Heavenly Mystery Dao Inscription in the Heavenly Deduction Technique, which allows one to see one's own or others' Karmic Luck and Karma.

Upon seeing the message relayed by the Heavenly Mystery Dao Inscription, Mo Yumeng was stunned for a moment before exclaiming with delight, "The Tribulation of Certain Death has been broken!"

"However, it seems that I have become a person without Karmic Luck, but why have all the Causality Line on my body disappeared?" Mo Yumeng tilted her head, very puzzled, but she looked a little silly.

A person who has already died once naturally becomes someone without Karmic Luck. As for the lack of Karma, it's likely that after becoming Blood Shadow, the system automatically blocked all her Karma.

Not only Mo Yumeng, but even Ling Yi was free from Karma. To be precise, under the system's cover, no one could see their Karma.

To live is to interact with others, and interactions inevitably involve Karma.

Even for the dead, the Karma take a long time to dissipate.

Mo Yumeng then used the Heavenly Mystery Dao Inscription on a Demon Person in the distance. Soon, lines of Causality Line were captured, and Mo Yumeng instantly learned about the Demon Person's past and its short-term future.

"Is it just that your own Karma have been concealed? That's amazing, how did you do that?"

I have a system; of course, it was the system that did it.

However, Ling Yi wasn't thinking about that right now; instead, he watched Mo Yumeng fall into deep thought.

Clearly, Mo Yumeng had no aversion to her identity as Blood Shadow.

Or rather, the system's powerful functions subtly changed Mo Yumeng's thinking!

Mo Yumeng did not lose herself, but everything revolved around Ling Yi.

From now on, everything she does will revolve around Ling Yi and Ling Yi interests.

In her heart, Ling Yi was everything.

What's most frightening is that Mo Yumeng was completely unaware of anything amiss with this change, as if it were perfectly natural.

Perhaps because of their own circumstances, Mo Yumeng and Guo Ming, though both Blood Shadow, are quite different.

Ling Yi considered Mo Yumeng as his friend, so Mo Yumeng didn't have the same strong master-servant feeling as Guo Ming.

"What a domineering system! But I like it!"

Ling Yi's lips curled into a smile, then he looked towards Blackwater Lake.

"There is the power of Formation Pattern in this lake." Mo Yumeng murmured, looking down at the extremely clear yet seemingly incredibly deep Blackwater Lake.

"Hmm, it should be a sealing Formation, containing a powerful Magical Beast."

"Can you beat them?"

"It's too much of a commotion, let's just forget about it."

It's not a matter of whether you can beat it or not. No matter how powerful this thing is, it can't possibly reach the level of Boundary Breaking Martial God.

Ling Yi could easily crush him.

But once what's down there is released, it's likely that a simple turn could wipe out Cloud and Mist City, dozens of kilometers away.

Let's talk about it another time when we have the chance.

What do we do now?

"Of course... we're going back to town."
