Chapter 1869

~11 min read 2,119 words

It had never experienced this kind of vast power, even when facing Qianhuan. "Back then, why did Qianhuan want to catch you?" The Blood Demon was a demon star that appeared after the world catastrophe; at that time, the True Immortals of the major sects had already gone into hiding, so it had room to stir up trouble.

"I killed quite a few disciples of the Illusion Sect." The Blood Demon was also observing him, "Also, he wanted to refine me into a Dharma form! But only after catching me did he realize that things weren't that simple, so he changed to suppression and attrition."

He Lingchuan sneered slightly, so that was it. This guy was ever-changing and powerful, truly good material for a Dharma form.

"With Qianhuan's ability, why couldn't he refine you into an external Dharma form?" Of Qianhuan's external Dharma forms, probably only the Wind God was created by himself.

"He couldn't erase my consciousness, so he couldn't erase my blood and sin! A True Immortal like him is wary of being devoured by massive karmic force." The Blood Demon said coldly, "I am a collection of thousands of grievances; once the 'true self' disappears, nothing will be left."

"You have committed too many sins; once you are released, you will bring disaster to the world." He Lingchuan stroked his chin, "Because of this cause and effect, my karmic obstacles will deepen again."

It wasn't necessary; he had no relationship with this Blood Demon, why should he bear a huge amount of sin? The Blood Demon chuckled: "Deepen? There is a true saying in the human world: don't worry about too many debts, lice don't bite when there are too many. You are already like this, are you still afraid of deepening it?"

The karmic obstacles on this guy surnamed He were tangled up, almost like a mess of hemp; although it couldn't catch up to it, but, uh, living people shouldn't be able to catch up to it anyway! "Don't judge a book by its cover; the things you have done must have far-reaching consequences, otherwise you wouldn't have attracted so many karmic entanglements." The Blood Demon was also an expert in this, "Oh, there are even more that are hidden and not yet triggered. You have planted the cause, but the result has not yet come. Once it erupts in the future, tsk tsk—"

It was also secretly shocked.

Previously, this guy had hidden his karmic power well on Stone Dragon Peak, and only suddenly released it in the last two battles, otherwise it would have aroused the vigilance of Qianhuan and it.

"Even an ancient True Immortal like Qianhuan might not know as much about karmic force as I do." In this regard, the Blood Demon was not boasting, "They only try their best to avoid it, unlike me who embraces it. In this respect, you can't find a better expert than me."

He Lingchuan smiled.

The Blood Demon wasn't stupid either; it was trying its best to prove its value to him, while still trying to appear nonchalant.

It had been suppressed for more than 2,000 years, and it had finally waited until Qianhuan died; it wanted freedom too much.

"Also, I can teach you how to reduce karmic force!"

He Lingchuan talked to it, only holding an attitude of listening, while actually thinking about how to deal with it. But this sentence did pique his interest:

"Karmic force can be reduced? I have tried it long ago, good and evil cannot offset each other."

"You humans have an old saying: good has good rewards, evil has evil rewards. Although this is nonsense, it at least points out one thing—" The Blood Demon saw that there was a chance, and talked eloquently, "These two cannot be confused; good is good, evil is evil, and karmic force is karmic force."

It emphasized again: "And what I said was reduction, not 'offset'!"

After saying this, it tightly closed its mouth, covering this bargaining chip well.

In his previous life, this guy could have been a very good salesman; even He Lingchuan, who originally didn't intend to let it go, was a little moved. He pondered for a few breaths: "Letting you leave the Upside-Down Sea is bringing disaster to the world, it's not appropriate."

It was only in such a closed environment that the Blood Demon could be caught; if it were released back to the Great Thousandfold World without a mandatory contract, it would be like a dragon returning to the sea, and even Qianhuan couldn't catch it back.

The Blood Demon opened its mouth to argue, but He Lingchuan raised his hand to stop it:

"Why not stay by my side? Didn't you do quite a few things for Qianhuan before?"

Regarding his request, the Blood Demon was not very surprised: "This..."

"More than 150 years ago, you went to Panlongcheng for him and took back the Great Expansion Heavenly Bead from Zhong Shengquan." He Lingchuan verified what he saw in the Heavenly Bead, "Am I right?"

"That is correct." The Blood Demon wondered, "I heard that no one survived that battle, how did you... oh! That's right, True Person Qianhuan said that you have a connection with the Great Fang Hu."

"You have already seen the karmic entanglements on me. Do you think my future days will be peaceful and calm?"

The Blood Demon snorted: "For someone who carries that kind of karmic obstacle, wanting a good ending is a joke!"

"Even if you leave the Upside-Down Sea, you still have to stir up trouble everywhere to have any gains." He Lingchuan smiled, "It's better to follow me; from now on, you can walk through mountains of corpses and seas of blood without any effort."

The four words "mountains of corpses and seas of blood" really moved the Blood Demon.

Even when Qianhuan suppressed it, he had to hold up the banner of righteousness. No one had ever been able to say to it so frankly: follow me, there will be plenty to eat.

"If I go out with you, you won't suppress me for a long time, right?" For these 2,000 years, it was truly tired of being imprisoned.

Qianhuan only let it out when there was something to do, and suppressed it at other times.

Bound by the contract, and because Qianhuan was more powerful than it, the Blood Demon had no choice, and it was very frustrated.

Even if it had to sell itself again, it had to negotiate the terms first.

"No." He Lingchuan looked at it, "You are so useful, it would be a waste to keep you in the box forever."

The four-legged snake's eyelids moved: "The kind of white flower you fed Xiao Wencheng, can it repair soul injuries, right?"

At that time, they were fighting Miaozhantian, and although the situation was critical, it didn't miss the good things Xiao Wencheng ate.

"That's right." He Lingchuan remembered that this guy's body was eaten by Miaozhantian, so he had to find a way to make up for it, "As long as I collect evil souls, I can mass-produce the Jula white flower. If you work for me by my side, you can get a share."

The Blood Demon licked its lips. A mere practitioner wanted to subdue it; before yesterday, it would have been overjoyed, and then found an opportunity to kill the other party.

However, this guy killed Miaozhantian! His hands seemed a bit hard, and his brain seemed a bit good.

Following him shouldn't be, shouldn't be too embarrassing?

Besides, as long as this guy surnamed He takes it back to the mortal world, even if he dies later, it will have a chance to regain its freedom.

And what would be the consequences of refusing He Lingchuan now?

It would die! It could also see that just because this guy was amiable didn't mean he was a good person.

He Lingchuan returned to the main topic: "Also, before Panlongcheng fell, did Qianhuan go to the Singing Sand Forest?"

"Hmm, yes, he took me there." The Blood Demon wondered, "This seems to have been asked by someone before, hiss, who was it?"

He Lingchuan couldn't be bothered to answer it: "What for?"

"Qianhuan usually sealed me in the Five Demon Ball and only let me out when we arrived, how would I know what he wanted to do!" The first half of the sentence the Blood Demon said firmly, but it immediately remembered that it was in someone else's hands, "However, when he let me steal the Great Expansion Heavenly Bead while Panlongcheng was falling, he was injured! Although he tried his best to cover it up, I could see that he was seriously injured!"

He Lingchuan frowned: "How did he go to the Singing Sand Forest? Dharma form?"

"Giant Bear Dharma form."

"Bear? Why haven't we seen it?"

"He was too seriously injured, maybe he recycled it later." The Blood Demon added, "But I heard the people who went with him discuss that a mirage appeared in the Singing Sand Forest the night before. Oh—I remember, the last one who asked me about the Singing Sand Forest was Zhong Shengquan!"

Time had passed, and its memory was quite good.

But this guy surnamed He's question was exactly the same as Zhong Shengquan's.

The Singing Sand Forest was almost the last piece of Gobi on the greened Panlong Plain, with a dry climate and sparse vegetation, so it was normal for mirages to appear. But He Lingchuan knew, how could there be such a coincidence?

So, what had Qianhuan done?

"Wait, was it his Dharma form that was seriously injured, not his true body?"

The Blood Demon said "aha": "Then I can't be sure, how could Qianhuan let me know?"

He Lingchuan sneered slightly, this guy was indeed not a good thing, Qianhuan must have been guarding against it.

"However, I have dealt with Qianhuan many times a long time ago—" He Lingchuan understood that this meant it had been hunted by Qianhuan and the Illusion Sect for a long time, "The time I lost to him, besides his Dharma form, he also used his true body!"

The Blood Demon said proudly: "Otherwise, with my strength at that time, how could Qianhuan have taken me down with just one or two Dharma forms?"

"Commander Zhong said that Qianhuan betrayed Panlongcheng, do you know the reason?"

The Blood Demon shook its head.

He had asked what needed to be asked, now it was time to do some real business. He Lingchuan's heart moved, and the Qianglong Battle Armor automatically put itself on: "My armor is still missing something, so I'll just make do with you."

"Eh?" The Blood Demon saw He Lingchuan take out the Great Expansion Heavenly Bead and was immediately vigilant, "What do you want to do?"

Ever since the lonely city of Panlong collapsed, the image in the Haoyuan Golden Mirror disappeared, leaving only a piece of snow.

Dong Rui muttered: "Why haven't they come out after the fight? It's been a long time!"

They saw Miaozhantian's death with their own eyes, and were all overjoyed. But He Lingchuan had not returned to reality, so everyone was somewhat worried.

What kind of place was the Mirage Immortal's sea of consciousness? Who knew how many waves would arise.

Just as the words fell, ripples flashed on the surface of the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, and He Lingchuan appeared, his face covered by black armor.

Just now, he fought Miaozhantian in this attire.

Wanzai Feng and others stepped forward and knelt down to welcome their lord.

They knelt to He Lingchuan, usually out of etiquette, usually as a matter of course, but at this moment it was admiration, it was pure awe.

What level was the battle in the sea of consciousness? The participants were either True Immortals or Heavenly Demons, or the Blood Demon and Great Immortals. Their lord was still a practitioner, yet he dared to go in and fight them.

Not only could he fight, but he could also win in the end.

All of this was like a dream, even though He Lingchuan was already standing before them alive, everyone still felt it was unreal.

What he did was simply not something a mortal could do! Wang Fubao muttered: "Could this be an illusion set up by that old clam Qianhuan, first wanting us to be happy for nothing, and then secretly killing us."

Wanzai Liang finally found another opportunity and flicked his forehead: "Can you hope for something good? Our lord is the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds, what others cannot do, here it is a common occurrence!"
