Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1130: Chapter 1126: Pursuit

Merit is extremely important to him now.

Aside from demons, Blood God Hall can also provide merit, making the source no longer so singular.

This is the best outcome.

Qi Qingmei said, ”Junior Brother, lie low for a while, return to Heavenly Sword Peak first.”

Lu Xiaolu promptly nodded, ”Exactly, exactly, I’m just afraid that while we’re busy here, the Envoy from Blood God Hall will come to join in the fun.”

”So soon?” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Qi Qingmei said, ”Blood God Hall’s methods are bizarre and hard to guard against, no one can say for sure; for all we know, the Blood God Envoy is right beside us.”

”Right, right.” Lu Xiaolu echoed, ”Junior Brother, go back to Heavenly Sword Peak and focus on cultivating for a few years. It’s not too late to come out when you reach higher rank... Hehe, how about coming to our Guanghan Palace?”

He can withstand the power on the Blood God Order, but this is merely a part of the power adhering to the Blood God Order.

The Great Demon Suppressing Seal might be able to block the Blood God Hall envoy, but what if it can’t?

To be safe, it’s better to evade first and focus on improving cultivation.

Qi Qingmei glanced askance at her, scolding, ”Xiaolu, what nonsense are you talking?”

”Senior Sister, Junior Brother isn’t an outsider,” Lu Xiaolu said defiantly, ”Coming to our Guanghan Palace for cultivation would surely progress faster.”

”Stop speaking such nonsense!” Qi Qingmei snorted.

Lu Xiaolu smiled brightly at Chu Zhiyuan, ”Junior Brother, do you want to come to our side?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, ”I’ll hide at Heavenly Sword Peak, thank you, Senior Sister, for the kind offer.”

This is Lu Xiaolu fantasizing, as Guanghan Palace never accommodates men, and he can’t be an exception.

”Junior Brother, return quickly,” Qi Qingmei said.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Senior Sister, let’s explore a hundred miles further in.”

”...Alright.” Qi Qingmei said, ”Leave today.”

”Okay.”

Chu Zhiyuan accepted her kind offer.

Empty words with no proof, relying only on the power attached to the Blood God Order cannot prove he doesn’t fear Blood God Hall.

Instead, it further highlights the bizarre and formidable nature of Blood God Hall, making them more wary.

He immediately said, ”I also obtained this.”

He took out a small jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Qi Qingmei.

Qi Qingmei took a glance and handed it to Lu Xiaolu, who passed it along to the other women.

Once everyone had seen it, they handed it back to him, looking at each other with confusion.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”This came from a disciple of the Ten Thousand Blood Sect, it should belong to them, right?”

Qi Qingmei said, ”Does it have the Myriad Blood Sect’s mark?”

Chu Zhiyuan pointed to the bottom of the bottle.

Qi Qingmei took another look, lightly frowned, and rotated the bottle to finally discover a tiny red dot that could easily be overlooked.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”This should be the Myriad Blood Sect’s mark.”

He bit his forefinger, letting a drop fall on the bottle bottom.

Instantly, the blood vanished into the bottle surface, and the small red dot quickly expanded into a pattern covering the bottle body.

The pattern faintly formed a ’Wan’ character.

”It really is Myriad Blood Sect!” Qi Qingmei’s jade-like face grew somber, ”So exquisite, it seems the contents are no ordinary elixir pills.”

Chu Zhiyuan poured out a snow-white elixir pill of Dragon Eye size, handing it to Qi Qingmei, ”Senior Sister, do you recognize it?”

Qi Qingmei stretched her jade-like hand wanting to take it, but suddenly withdrew her hand, only examining it briefly again and letting the other women look as well.

They all shook their heads.

Yet Qi Qingmei’s face darkened, glancing at it disdainfully, ”It might be a Huayang Pill.”

Lu Xiaolu was startled, hurriedly saying, ”Huayang Pill? This is a Huayang Pill?”

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Lu Xiaolu.

Lu Xiaolu said, ”Huayang Pill is not an ordinary spirit pill, it can purify the mind and aid in realm enhancement... This type of spirit pill is quite rare.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Lu Xiaolu scornfully glanced at the snow-white elixir pill in Chu Zhiyuan’s hand, ”But this Huayang Pill is specifically refined by Myriad Blood Sect, using cruel methods!”

Chu Zhiyuan was puzzled.

Lu Xiaolu said, ”It’s said to be condensed using the vital essence of infants, no older than one year.”

Chu Zhiyuan’s face turned dark, feeling unable to handle the snow-white elixir pill.

Lu Xiaolu said coldly, ”One Huayang Pill reportedly requires the essence blood of ten infants.”

Chu Zhiyuan put the elixir pill back into the bottle, frowning, ”This Myriad Blood Sect should be eradicated!”

Lu Xiaolu snorted, ”Of course, we want to wipe them out, but we simply can’t find their lair; otherwise, we would have destroyed them a hundred times over!”

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes.

After a moment, he opened them, softly saying, ”With this bottle, I can sense a direction.”

Lu Xiaolu’s eyes brightened, and she quickly said, ”Can you find the Myriad Blood Sect’s lair?!... Then let’s give it a try!”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Lu Xiaolu looked at Qi Qingmei, ”Senior Sister, let’s exterminate the Myriad Blood Sect first, then clear out this Qinglian Sea... These demons in the Qinglian Sea deserve to die, but those guys in the Myriad Blood Sect deserve it even more!”

Qi Qingmei pondered.

Lu Xiaolu eagerly watched her, and the other women also fixed their gaze on her.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Senior Sister Lu, is it really that easy to wipe out the Myriad Blood Sect?”

Lu Xiaolu replied, ”As long as we find their lair, if we can’t wipe them out, the other three sects can. Besides, with other sects involved, everyone would want to see them dead!”

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

Lu Xiaolu continued, ”Moreover, it’s not like we can’t defeat them. The more we kill, the better, to prevent them from harming others!”

A woman agreed, ”Junior Sister Lu is right. Compared to these demons, the evil of the Myriad Blood Sect deserves to be eradicated even more, and the sooner, the better.”

”Yes, let’s wipe out the Myriad Blood Sect first!”

”Exterminate the Myriad Blood Sect!”

...

”Alright!” Qi Qingmei said with annoyance, ”I never said we wouldn’t exterminate the Myriad Blood Sect. I want to wipe them out as much as you do!”

”Then what’s there to consider, Senior Sister?” Lu Xiaolu was puzzled.

Qi Qingmei said, ”The Palace Master’s order is to clear the Qinglian Sea. How can we abandon it halfway?”

Lu Xiaolu replied, ”We can eliminate the Myriad Blood Sect first, and then clear the Qinglian Sea, right?”

”It’s not the same.” Qi Qingmei shook her head, ”If we delay, the other three sects might arrive, and by then, we won’t get a chance.”

The demon cores of these giant demons are crucial for the cultivation of the Miao Zhen Jue.

Significant for enhancing the strength of the palace’s disciples.

Choosing to clear the Qinglian Sea first means letting the Myriad Blood Sect’s disciples live longer.

While choosing to wipe out the Myriad Blood Sect is to forgo the demon cores, delaying the disciples’ cultivation of Miao Zhen Jue, and slowing down the palace’s overall strength enhancement.

She was caught in a dilemma.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”How about this, Senior Sister: I’ll first clear out an area of a hundred li with Senior Sister, then go with Senior Sister Lu to find the Myriad Blood Sect’s lair, so we won’t delay either task.”

”...That couldn’t be better.” Qi Qingmei nodded gently.

Lu Xiaolu giggled and said, ”The hardest part will be on you, Junior Brother.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”To kill demons and evil spirits, I don’t feel it’s hard work; it’s exciting.”

”Exactly, exactly, killing these demons and evil spirits is the most thrilling thing of all.”

Lu Xiaolu strongly agreed.

She felt that it was sweet as honey despite the hardship.

”Senior Sister Qi, then let’s begin.”

”Alright.” Qi Qingmei nodded lightly.

Saying some words of gratitude now seemed too shallow, it was better to find an opportunity to repay later.

...

By noon, the sun was shining brightly.

Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu floated along and quickly left Qinglian Sea.

Turning back, a majestic great river ran through rugged mountains, grand and boundless, yet harboring so many demons.

This was a paradise for demons, a graveyard for humans. Countless people were captured and ended up in the stomachs of these demons.

Under the bright sun, Lu Xiaolu’s white clothes fluttered like a fairy, her jade-like face glowing with a crystalline warmth, she sighed with emotion, ”It’s a pity we can only clear out two hundred li, which falls short. Huh, those are...?”

She suddenly stopped, standing on the summit, she jumped onto a gnarled old tree by the cliff, stood on its branch, and shaded her eyes with her delicate hand, looking into the distance.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Those must be experts from the Three Sects, right?”

Super Sense had already observed these experts.

He saw experts from the Heavenly Sword Sect among them, while the other two groups were from the Guiyang Sword Sect and the Fuyun Sect.

”They should be experts from the Three Sects!” Lu Xiaolu nodded, ”I didn’t expect them to act so quickly... The Three Sects joining forces should be able to directly overrun and obliterate Qinglian Sea.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Pretty much.”

Guanghan Palace was strongly powerful, the first among the Four Sects, but the experts from the other three sects combined were naturally superior to Guanghan Palace.

The only concern was the giant demons.

He said gravely, ”Senior Sister, I need to report to the sect about the situation here, especially about the existence of the giant demons.”

”Yes, you should report it.” Lu Xiaolu said, ”Then let’s go.”

She alighted from the tree and headed toward the distant crowd.

Chu Zhiyuan walked alongside her.

Lu Xiaolu said, ”With so many experts, they should be able to withstand the giant demons.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”Can they really hold them off?”

Lu Xiaolu confidently replied, ”All of them have sword arrays, only slightly inferior to ours. With the three major sword arrays together, they can withstand the giant demons.”
