The Heavenly Venerable Shangwu in mid-air snorted coldly, then his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in alarm, "Don't come any closer!"
boom--!
A deafening roar resounded, and in mid-air, Blood Qi- red energy, like threads, enveloped Heavenly Venerable Shangwu like a spider web. Heavenly Venerable Shangwu's Qi and Blood actually left his body, flowing along the blood threads towards Xin Hai.
Yang Zhen was truly terrified this time. He never expected that there would be such a terrifying and evil Cultivation Method in the world, capable of stealing Qi and Blood without warning.
"Quickly, stop him!"
Feng Wuya's expression changed drastically. As he leaped forward, the long sword in his hand shone brightly. A terrifying aura, like a raging tide, formed a roaring serpent in mid-air, crashing into the blood vessels.
"Stop!"
The Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels also snorted coldly, and five golden suns rose up, evaporating the surrounding bloodstains.
Xin Hai's ferocious expression gradually calmed down. Looking at the futile efforts of Feng Wuya and the Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels, he revealed a half-smile and said, "Even at this point, you still haven't figured out who this Great Saint is?"
"Kindness?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback. Xin Hai had indeed known who the Great Saint inside the Holy Tomb was all along. No wonder everyone else was trapped in the Realm within a Realm a Realm, but he was the only one who came out and did not return to the cave, but instead came to the real Holy Tomb.
Just then, the Shameless Cat suddenly let out a strange cry and said, "Oh no, it's that madman! Kid Yang, find the real coffin quickly, or it'll be too late!"
"Who is it? They're so powerful!" Yang Zhen was taken aback and turned his head in surprise to ask.
" Blood Crow!" Hua Youyue suddenly said softly, a look of surprise flashing across her face.
Yang Zhen had never heard of Blood Crow before, but seeing that Hua Youyue's expression had changed, it was clear that Blood Crow was no ordinary person. Otherwise, Hua Youyue wouldn't have changed her expression, and the Shameless Cat wouldn't be in such a hurry.
Although he didn't know what kind of person Blood Crow was, Yang Zhen still leaped out, dodging layers of blood threads, and rushed into the Holy Tomb.
"Young man, what have you thought about what I told you before?"
A look of confusion suddenly flashed across Xin Hai's face. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Yang Zhen, like a black crow.
Yang Zhen felt a chill run down his spine, wondering what had happened to this guy. The bloodstains clearly weren't from him. He hurriedly said, "This Sage of Saunter has been thinking, joining the Demon Sect might actually be an interesting thing. However, I'm naturally lazy and have a great fondness for women and rare treasures. Could you give me..."
Xin Hai was taken aback, then burst into laughter, saying, "Boy, as long as you join the Demon Sect and become my disciple, what do women and the most precious treasures of heaven and earth matter? Clearly, everyone in the world is wrong. I can guarantee that the world from now on will belong to my Holy Sect."
Yang Zhen cried out in pain, stumbled, and nearly got caught in the bloody mess. She looked at Xin Hai with a strange expression. Had this guy lost his mind?
For Xin Hai to say something like "the whole world belongs to the Demon Sect," he must either be mentally unstable or have been bewitched by something.
Yang Zhen was quite surprised that such a perfectly healthy old man had ended up being mentally unstable.
"And also, I need lots and lots of Cultivation Method, preferably so many that I can't possibly practice them all." Yang Zhen was spouting nonsense, but he kept observing his surroundings. Before Xin Hai could speak, he continued, "I have a rather eccentric personality. When I need to Cultivation Method, I need two copies. I cultivate one and then discard the other. If you have less than one Cultivation Method, I won't accept it."
Cultivate one copy, then discard the rest?
Not to mention Xin Hai, even Heavenly Venerable Shangwu, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, was stunned when he heard this, staring blankly at Yang Zhen.
The expressions on the faces of the others were as strange as could be.
You dare say something like, "I'll practice one set and then throw it away"?
If their own disciple had said such outrageous things, everyone present would have slapped him already.
Cultivation Resources are hard to come by, especially Higher Vehicle Cultivation Method; which sect doesn't treasure them?
Ordinary disciples are not qualified to cultivate. Only those disciples who perform exceptionally well can comprehend even a little bit of it. Let alone cultivating one copy and discarding it, even just being able to look at and practice it all makes one a core disciple whom the sect is fully committed to cultivating.
The Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels Venerable's lips twitched incessantly as he pierced the blood vessels, muttering to himself, "You brat, what you're saying is so unbelievable! No one would believe you're truly willing to join the Demon Sect with such nonsense."
Old Man Leaping Dragon was also stunned for a moment, then shook his head, preparing to fight to the death.
Feng Wuya smiled bitterly, about to explode, when he suddenly heard Xin Hai's hearty laughter.
"Good lad, I love your personality. You're truly born to join my Holy Sect. What's wrong with discarding what you've cultivated? You can throw them all away if you want. If my Holy Sect can't do as it pleases, what right do we have to be revered by thousands?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Wuya and the others all staggered. In particular, the Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels were stunned and accidentally got caught by a bloody thread, letting out a howl as they were sent flying into the air.
This... this works?
Everyone stared blankly at Yang Zhen and Xin Hai. Were these two, one old and one young, both putting on an act?
Yang Zhen is acting; everyone can see that. His acting is so fake that it's hard not to notice.
But was Xin Hai also acting?
Why does he act?
There's no need for that.
No one knew what had happened to Xin Hai, but judging from the current situation, something extraordinary must have occurred to him, greatly increasing his strength. In particular, these blood threads, once touched, would result in being wrapped up, making it difficult to resist.
In this situation, would Xin Hai be inclined to joke?
Not to mention Feng Wuya and the others, even Yang Zhen was stunned and almost fell from mid-air.
You agreed just like that?
The Demon Sect truly lives up to its Demon Sect; these people's ideas are truly boundless and imaginative. I'm truly impressed.
Yang Zhen actually longed for this kind of life, doing whatever she wanted without caring about what others thought.
No wonder so many cultivators willingly let themselves be tricked by the Demon Sect. If the disciples of the Demon Sect are indeed as Xin Hai said, then the Demon Sect is simply an existence that all cultivators would flock to.
"Okay, let me think about it. I think this is a serious matter. Even if we join the Demon Sect, we can't just say it so casually, can we?"
"Young man, my patience is running out. You'd better make a decision quickly."
"Okay, give me a moment to think about it... I've found it!"
"Found it?" Xin Hai's eyes flashed with surprise as he asked, "Found what?"
Yang Zhen laughed heartily and said, "Old man, so this is the Blood Raven's real purpose. Don't be naive; he won't give you the power he worked so hard to acquire."
As he spoke, Yang Zhen leaped toward a corner of the Holy Tomb. In an inconspicuous spot in the corner, a small blade of grass grew, swaying in the wind. What was surprising was that this blade of grass was blood red.
" Yang Zhen, you dare!"
Upon seeing Yang Zhen's action, a wave of blood, as vast as the sea, suddenly erupted from Xin Hai's body. With a roar, he reached out and grabbed, causing Han Yan'er's expression to change drastically. She was pulled by a terrifying force and rushed towards Xin Hai.
Everyone's expression changed.
"Kid, hurry, destroy that Blood Spirit!" the Shameless Cat shouted excitedly.
Seeing Han Yan'er's pale face and the imminent death of Xin Hai, Yang Zhen's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he suddenly vanished from the spot.
"You old bastard, you're asking for it!"
Screw your Blood Spirit!
