Demonic Machine Hall
Soon, news that Zheng Family Garden had used legendary magic to sink a ship full of barbarian shamans reached the ears of everyone who cared.
Zheng Family Garden, whose development momentum had stagnated for a while, proved with its strength that Zheng Family Garden is still Zheng Family Garden, and Zheng Qingbo is still Zheng Qingbo.
Many people began to think about a question: if sinking a cursed ship was no problem, wouldn't sinking other types of ships be even simpler?
The name of the Martial Hall Master Heavenly Blood Python, who was in charge of this operation, has once again appeared on the list of gangster forces.
While most people still believe that this level of Law Technique must have been done by someone hired by Zheng Qingbo, a small number of people suspect that it might be the work of the mysteriously returned Heavenly Blood Python.
The benefits of this approach are obvious: the Demonic Machine Hall, which had previously been clamoring for compensation, suddenly became much more agreeable.
They even took the initiative to invite Zheng Qingbo to the headquarters of the Demonic Machine Hall to clear up some misunderstandings.
After all, no matter how powerful the modification methods are, they cannot stop the spells of the Nanyang sorcerers.
Soon, Zheng Qingbo and his group arrived at the headquarters of "New Demonic Path" in Java.
It was a building with a style quite different from the local architecture of Nanyang.
However, it is not quite the same as the sect building Heavenly Gate.
If I had to describe it, it's somewhat like the style of the steam-powered training factory that Hu Mang saw in Pine Peak.
However, looking at the massive building in front of him, composed of steel, steam, and talismans, Hu Mang simply couldn't associate it with the demonic path.
But as soon as I stepped inside, that feeling came over me.
The air was filled with the smells of rust, blood, and some kind of burnt bone.
From each of the modification rooms came the shrill screams of the modified cultivators.
Although the human skeletons hanging in mid-air were made of metal, many of them were stained with human blood, and many "magical researchers" were inserting Law Artifact into them to adjust their parameters.
In many of the laboratories, there were also many creatures, monsters, and even sea beasts. For example, Hu Mang saw a sea beast octopus the size of a house, with something resembling the Old Heavenly Gate Thunderfire Cannon on each of its tentacles.
That's good; they even know to do clinical testing.
However, once you get to the second floor, it's a completely different story: warehouses, offices, a finance department, and even an employee lounge and tea room.
It has a strong resemblance to the Heavenly Gate factory.
Then, in a conference room with huge Java -to-ceiling windows overlooking Java's famous volcano, Boss Zheng and Boss Zheng bodyguards were invited in.
As soon as he entered, Hu Mang sensed the auras of at least four Golden Core Realm cultivators.
There was no question of interrogation or ambush. A young man sitting on the sofa laughed and walked towards Zheng Qingbo, and the two embraced intimately.
"Boss Zheng."
"Master Sun."
Sun Youcai, Zheng Qingbo's close partner, head of Java Demonic Machine Hall, and one of the overseas members of the Magic Path.
For some reason, the moment Hu Mang saw the other person, he felt a connection as if they were of the same blood.
Aside from the absurd possibility that they are half-brothers, there is another possibility: they have demonic blood.
Moreover, it's not just any demonic bloodline; it's the Seven Absolutes Bloodline!
Clearly, Sun Youcai also spotted the Hu Mang. A hint of surprise flashed across his face, followed by a rather enthusiastic greeting:
"This must be the legendary Heavenly Blood Python, who single-handedly defeated two of my Core Formation cultivators. There's a reason the old man thought highly of you; I never imagined you were like me, a member of the Seven Greats."
Hu Mang grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"So you're my half-brother! I wonder which class you were in?"
Sun Youcai was taken aback, but then he laughed. This was a lame joke that only a modified baby could understand.
Zheng Qingbo snorted coldly, "Alright, you can all leave now. I need to discuss business matters with Hall Master Sun."
Hu Mang smiled at the other party and left the conference room on his own initiative. In addition, there were also the Golden Core bodyguards of both sides.
As everyone else left, Sun Youcai snapped his fingers, and a soundproof barrier quickly covered the entire conference room.
"Isn't Brother Sun a good person? Why did I promote this Heavenly Blood Python and put him by my side?"
Sun Youcai said in a deep voice, "That's right. If it weren't for your arrangement, Boss Zheng, I wouldn't have sent people to deal with this Heavenly Blood Python. Not only did we suffer heavy losses, but how did this Heavenly Blood Python become one of the top ten leaders of your Zheng Family Garden?"
Zheng Qingbo sighed, "It's a long story, it's all that bitch's fault..."
A moment later, after hearing the whole story, Sun Youcai's expression turned slightly strange.
"So, Boss Zheng, the witchcraft injuries you suffered are more serious than outsiders have rumored. Only the Liang Household Garden has the means to break the curse. And to prevent you from going back on your word and attacking the Liang Household Garden again, that so-called Madam Liang not only arranged for this Heavenly Blood Python to work by your side, but also used magic to help you sink that barbarian cursed ship?"
"That's right. That bitch, I never expected her hidden methods to be so ruthless..."
Zheng Qingbo unleashed a torrent of curses with a ferocious expression, and it took him a long time to suppress his anger, regain his composure, and take a deep breath.
"So I've come to see Brother Sun for two reasons. One is to apologize for the failure of this operation and to compensate for the losses. The other is to ask Brother Sun to inquire whether there are any effective ways to break the curse."
After Zheng Qingbo left, Sun Youcai was still somewhat in a daze.
So all that big commotion during the day was orchestrated by that Madam Liang.
Are the Liang Household's Jiangtou really that powerful?
Unexpectedly, it turned out that Madam Liang was the mastermind behind everything, and she even brought his lover to Zheng Family Garden, secretly taking control of the entire Zheng Family Garden's military force.
But is what they said true or false?
Based on his observations, this Boss Zheng didn't seem to be being manipulated.
Or is it that the other person is Jiangtou that they cannot understand?
He decided to consult someone.
Sun Youcai pondered for a moment, then took out a strange Law Artifact helmet from his storage box.
The helmet was made entirely of dark silver metal, covered with a layer of fine rune engravings that gleamed with a cold luster in the dim light; the inside was lined with a soft leather padding, the leather had been soaked in sweat and turned dark brown, emitting a faint smell that was a mixture of grease and blood.
He fastened the helmet to his forehead and channeled his Law Power into it. Soon, the runes began to light up one by one, starting from his forehead and spreading backward along the surface of the helmet, like glowing blood vessels, creating a strange resonance with the blood vessels on his brain.
The next moment, his consciousness sank into an endless darkness.
A darkness as thick as ink enveloped his consciousness, completely isolating him from the senses of the real world, and then pulled him into a blood-red spot of light.
Countless bizarre and fantastical images attempted to invade his consciousness, much like Nascent Soul cultivator attempting to invade his Divine Sense, and Sun Youcai's eyes were immediately covered by demonic light.

Soon, after dodging the bizarre and fantastical sights of the Nascent Soul level, his demonic consciousness appeared above a small red dot.
Then, he focused his mind and soon found himself in a world filled with graveyards.
Sun Youcai's consciousness entered into the grave, turning over the soil and transforming into a gigantic grave giant.
Soon, the signal connection was successful, and one-third of the graveyard in this world disappeared, replaced by a river of blood.
Then another third disappeared, turning into a bottomless abyss.
In the Blood River and the Demon Abyss, there are similar demonic giants.
"That's difficult, Sun Youcai, you rarely contact us," the Blood River Giant said in surprise.
"I remember that old man helped you solve it, but now his followers are coming after you for revenge?"
"Not really, she's a very special newcomer."
The giant of evil earth, which Sun Youcai had transformed into, pondered for a long while before sorting out the matter and then recounting it again.
The other two Sealed Holy Son who were not in Java were not interested in Zheng Qingbo, but they were quite interested in Heavenly Blood Python, Sealed Holy Son from Heavenly Gate.
"So, this Sealed Holy Son from Heavenly Gate, like us, also possesses the Seven Absolutes Bloodline. This is truly remarkable!"
Did he break the seal on his own? Which demonic bloodline did he unlock?
"I never imagined there were still some who escaped the net back then."
"Could it be a spy from Heavenly Gate? Heavenly Gate's demonic path is keeping a close watch on us. I heard that those few demonic path committee members have been eyeing the top-ranked Holy Sons for quite some time now, and they've caught one."
"He should be in the same boat as us, no, his losses to the demonic veins should be even more severe than ours, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed at Heavenly Gate."
"Perhaps the cultivation technology of Heavenly Gate has cured him?"
"Fixed it and you're still using it as a spy? That's a waste of your talent."
Sun Youcai hadn't expected that while he had come to inquire about matters related to Zheng Qingbo, the other two were unusually interested in the Heavenly Blood Python.
However, he quickly realized that the number of people who possessed the Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians was far lower than the other four top-tier demonic veins. This was because the latter could be gradually unsealed even if they couldn't be unsealed temporarily, while the Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians, if unsealed, would become the Seven Absolutes Death Meridians, and those who died could not become Holy Sons.
Even if the seal is successfully broken, at most one or two lines can be unlocked, and its potential is far less than that of the other four types of demonic bloodlines.
This is why none of the top-ranked Demonic Saints are born with the Seven Absolutes Bloodline.
The advantage, however, is that, being half-abandoners, the three of them maintained a rare friendship, or rather, a shared sense of sympathy, within the overseas demonic path.
Now that they've met someone who seems to be a newcomer, they're naturally very interested.
It took Sun Youcai a lot of effort to steer the conversation to the main topic.
"Do you think that man surnamed Zheng was telling the truth, or did he have some other scheme in mind? That old bastard is quite cunning and treacherous."
