Undercurrents Stirring
On the summit of a mountain outside the Blood Devil Grotto, several figures quietly arrived.
"Everyone, you've all heard, haven't you? Recently, a dynasty has emerged in the Purple Qi Sect region. You all know what a dynasty is, right?" A handsome man in a blood-red robe lay languidly on a flower bed, fanning himself with a folding fan, and spoke in a soft, melodious voice.
The speaker was none other than Blood Demon, the sect leader of Blood Devil Blood Devil Grotto. His strength at the Nascent Soul Late Stage made him a force to be reckoned with throughout the Southern Barbarian Lands.
A stunningly beautiful woman, dressed only in a semi-transparent purple veil and smiling alluringly, said in a sweet voice, "Sect Leader Blood, it's one thing to know, but they're located deep within the righteous sects' territory. It might be difficult to take action against them."
Her voice was beautiful, possessing a mesmerizing magic that could subtly control people's minds.
However, the people here were no less powerful than that woman, so they were basically unaffected.
"Bai Mei, you're still as alluring as ever after all these years. Every move you make exudes a captivating charm. Why don't you come with me on a trip this time?" A man who was nothing but a skeleton said, his eyes gleaming with a ghostly green light.
This person is the Grand Elder of White Bone Mountain, Nascent Soul Middle Stage, known as the Withered Bone Old Devil.
"Old man, you're just a skeleton now and you still haven't abstained from sex?" Bai Mei said with a faint sneer. "If I go out with you, what can you do besides covering me in your saliva? Do you still have any yang energy left for me to absorb?"
The Blood Devil frowned slightly, closed his folding fan, tapped the armrest beside him, and said somewhat displeasedly, "You two, I didn't call you here to argue and try to sleep with each other. Let's get back to the main topic."
"This dynasty cannot be allowed to exist. Otherwise, once the dynasty grows powerful, those righteous sects will develop rapidly by taking advantage of the dynasty's national fortune. At that time, we will be in a very passive position, and we may even be wiped out in the future."
Bai Mei chuckled and said, "Since it's bound to start sooner or later, why not strike first? Let's join forces and attack them directly. Once the war begins, that dynasty will have no choice but to either be destroyed or submit to us."
"Our Demoness has the guts. In that case, the Evergreen Sect and Yellow Maple Valley will be handed over to our Blood Devil Grotto, Spirit Moon Sect, Flowing Gold Valley, and that newly emerged Purple Qi Sect will be yours. We'll begin our operation in a month."
"Even if we can't destroy them this time, we must destroy that dynasty. Ideally, we should obtain the Fortune Dynasty Method. With that, perhaps this Southern Barbarian Lands will no longer be able to hold us back."
Bai Mei glanced at the Withered Bone Old Devil and said, "Leave the Spirit Moon Sect to us. You go to the Flowing Gold Valley. As for the Purple Qi Sect, whoever has time can deal with it."
The Withered Bone Old Devil nodded in agreement, saying, "No problem, it's settled then. We'll begin the operation in a month."
"However, we still need to keep it under wraps. If we don't make a move when a new dynasty suddenly appears, it will be easy for those people to guess our plan." After thinking for a moment, the Blood Devil said, "Here's what we'll do: each sect will send a team to the Phoenix Kingdom at different times to cause trouble. It would be best if we could wipe them out, but if we can't, it won't be a big deal. We're just there to distract them. However, you should think carefully about what kind of people to send."
"Alright, we'll do as you say, Blood Sect Master. I'll go back and prepare now."
Meanwhile, above a small town near the Blood Devil Grotto territory, Wang Yan sat with a somber expression, lost in thought.
Dressed in a long red dress, Su Liuyue calmly looked at the severed arm that was floating not far in front of her.
"They actually got away; they've got some skill."
The thick smoke billowing from the small town below was caused by Yu Bo during the battle between the three of them.
"Junior sister, summon some spiritual rain and mix it with some medicinal pills to bring rain to this small town."
"Yes, Senior Sister."
As Wang Yan manipulated the spiritual rain, she sighed softly. She hadn't expected that both she and her senior sister would be able to let the other escape. It was truly embarrassing.
You'd be fine if you hadn't caught them, but now you've caught two of them and only managed to take down one of their arms. It's embarrassing to even talk about it.
However, although Huang Tao's attack methods were not very good, he had a whole set of survival skills. He probably learned all the survival skills, otherwise he would not have been able to escape from Wang Yan and Su Liuyue.
A magical rain fell, extinguishing the fire in the small town below. The wounded were also quickly healed under the nourishment of the rain, but those who had already died were destined to die, and no one could bring them back to life.
This was only because Wang Yan was protecting them; otherwise, their casualties would have been even greater in this battle.
This is the tragedy of mortals in the cultivation Immortal Realm. In battles between cultivators, even a single Yu Bo can cause countless casualties. Moreover, from time to time, Demon Beast and Devil Cultivator massacre entire cities. Human life is truly as worthless as grass.
"Junior sister, you can put your arm away now. You can give it to Junior Brother Shen later. I have other things to do, so I won't be seeing him."
After saying that, Su Liuyue flew away in a streak of light, and no one knew where she went.
Wang Yan raised her hand and put away the severed hand. She glanced at the small town below with pity before flying away. Although she felt a little reluctant, what could she do when the world was so cruel?
In a desolate mountain, Huang Tao clutched the wound on his right shoulder, his face grim. Although the residual Law Power in the wound was still rampaging, he paid no heed to it.
He was hiding under a broken bowl, his breath completely shut out by the bowl, so he had no worries about being tracked.
"Shen Ge, Fellow Daoist Shen! Very well! I will definitely avenge the loss of my arm, and you too, Su Liuyue! Don't think that just because you are powerful I can't touch you!"
Huang Tao's face was contorted like a demon. After venting his anger with a few curses, his expression gradually returned to normal. Then he began to expel the residual Law Power of Su Liuyue from his wounds. Of course, it wasn't just the wound on his right shoulder; he had more than a dozen wounds of various sizes all over his body, but none of them were too serious.
When Wang Yan returned to the Phoenix Kingdom and met Shen Ge, she took out the severed arm and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Junior Brother Shen, I'm sorry, he escaped."
Shen Ge glanced at the arm, his eyes flickered, and with a wave of his hand, the arm floated in his palm. Without him chanting an incantation, a flame rose directly from his palm, and at the same time, tiny flying swords, no bigger than fingernails, cut through flesh amidst the flames.
In no time, his entire arm was burned, and his black hair flowed freely. After summoning a water ball to wash his hands, Shen Ge bowed politely and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister Wang Yan. If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. I will never refuse."
"Junior Brother Shen, don't say that. We're all from the same sect, so helping each other is only natural. It's just that neither Senior Sister Liuyue nor I were able to keep him here, which disappointed you."
At this point, Shen Ge raised an eyebrow and asked, "By the way, where's Senior Sister? Did she go after them again? That's Blood Devil Grotto 'Blood Devil Grotto territory. What if she gets surrounded and attacked by them all by herself?"
"No, I have to try to persuade her." With that, he took out Sound Transmission Jade Slip and began to transmit his voice.
