Chapter 221: The Old Ancestor is Merciful! (Two-in-one, please subscribe)

"Senior, spare my life!"

"My Holy Sect is willing to follow your lead from now on, Senior!"

The Demonic Path Sect Leader was trapped within the spatial dimension inside the Blood God's palm, begging loudly for mercy.

Su Ping, however, paid him no heed.

With a mere thought, he gripped the Blood God's arm, bent it slightly, and then struck down toward the mountain beside Chiyang City.

The moment the giant hand descended, the thousand-meter-tall mountain outside the city turned to dust under the pressure of the blood-colored light.

In the blink of an eye, the mountain turned into flat ground and then into a deep pit.

Under this strike, the pressure inside the palm of the blood-colored giant hand increased a hundredfold along with the force of the impact.

This caused the Demonic Path Sect Leader's screams to come to an abrupt, silent end.

His entire body merged into the palm and vanished.

This allowed Su Ping to safely retract the giant hand back into the sky, which was filled with blood-colored light.

Seeing the Blood God's giant hand display such divine might, killing a Demonic Path Golden Core cultivator as easily as killing a chicken.

And furthermore, demonstrating the immense power to destroy the heavens and earth and reshape the terrain in a single strike.

The mouths of everyone in Chiyang City grew wider and wider.

After a moment of silence, the City Lord turned his head to look at his trusted aides and the representatives of the various clans.

Several of these representatives noticed the City Lord's gaze and quietly sent messages via Secret Language.

They were all inclined toward not provoking this big shot from the Incense Fire God Sect.

"City Lord, this old monster is clearly already insane!"

"To use the power of the Incense Fire so wantonly, I fear his Divine Soul has long since been corrupted by the backlash!"

"There is absolutely no need for us to fight such a monster head-on! We should just follow his wishes, wait for him to be satisfied and leave, and then watch as he collapses on his own!"

The City Lord's mouth twitched; he cursed inwardly, wondering if he couldn't see these things himself?

And besides... not fight head-on?

Heh, with the destructive power the other party had just displayed, what could Chiyang City possibly use to fight him?

But if they surrendered now, wouldn't they die even faster once they lost the protection of the grand formation?

Thinking this.

Their bodies stiffened as they all simultaneously felt the gaze of the Old Ancestor, who was covered in blood-colored light, looking over at them.

"Jie jie jie, this seat has already shown his sincerity!"

"I have proven I am not a bad person, yet you still refuse to open the grand formation?"

"Are you planning to make this seat continue wasting his energy?"

As Su Ping stood with his hands behind his back, he shouted out.

In the blood-red sky, a giant face that blotted out the sun emerged.

The mouth on the face opened slightly, and red light seemed to be hidden in its depths.

The City Lord and the others all looked up to see this scene, only to feel that they... no, that the entire Chiyang City was within the range of that red light.

The City Lord heard Secret Language messages from many clan heads within the city in his ears.

Clearly, facing the great terror between life and death, those clan heads who had been hiding all along also jumped out in panic to state their positions.

In the face of absolute violence.

The Cultivator forces of Chiyang City displayed astonishing weakness.

Even though they deeply suspected that Su Ping would start a massacre after entering the city.

Faced with the possibility of survival, they still chose to compromise and opened the grand formation.

As soon as the grand formation was opened, the blood-colored light shone fully upon everyone in the city.

In the blink of an eye, some Cultivators let out strange cries and transformed into streaks of light, attempting to flee Chiyang City.

"So many evil cultivators?"

Su Ping was just habitually searching for evil cultivators; he hadn't expected Chiyang City to be like the other party's nest.

He had actually discovered so many all at once!

This Nanhuang is truly finished!

The City Lord and the others also realized that the Cultivator representatives who had previously used Jade Slip recordings to threaten and lure them were now scurrying about in the air like stray dogs.

But these evil cultivators had at most a cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, and as streaks of blood-colored light fell from the sky.

This Cultivator representative was also enveloped by the blood-colored light, and after unwillingly becoming a part of the red light, he was sucked into the mouth of the giant face in the sky.

After their initial shock, the City Lord and the remaining Cultivators dared not do anything, waiting quietly for the red light to finish clearing out the evil cultivators in the city.

During this time, even the most argumentative Cultivator dared not voice any doubt as to whether the new Sect Leader of the Blood God Sect was taking the opportunity to slaughter the innocent.

After all, among those purified evil cultivators, there was no lack of people from their own families and clans.

After cleaning up Chiyang City, Su Ping finally retracted the blood-colored light from the sky.

As the blood-colored light gradually faded.

The people in the city finally relaxed their expressions and quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Then, Luo brought a group of Cultivators down from the Immortal Boat.

Luo respectfully bowed to the City Lord and the others.

Afterward, following the instructions of that Old Ancestor, they entered the secret vault of the City Lord Mansion.

They found the inconspicuous Blood God Seal piled in a corner.

After seeing the Blood God Seal, the new City Lord of Chiyang City racked his brains but still could not figure out the origin of this item.

He could not help but feel a bit embarrassed, and also somewhat resentful toward his family's elders for why they hadn't even left behind an Inheritance Jade Slip for such an important object.

However, he did not know that this Blood God Seal was not obtained by Chiyang City itself.

Rather, it was one of the inconspicuous, nameless treasures brought in the dowry from the wife's family after a certain City Lord married.

After changing hands several times, the Blood God Seal had long since become one of many nameless relics that everyone knew was somewhat mysterious, but no one knew how to use, hundreds of years ago.

Su Ping sucked with his left hand, and the Blood God Seal in Luo's hand arrived in his own.

He channeled a Blood God Secret Technique into it.

Upon detecting the Blood God Power mastered by Su Ping, this seal, the size of a child's fist, erupted with dazzling brilliance.

The surrounding Spirit Qi began to be frantically pulled and surged into the seal.

This caused the tens of millions of patterns within the Blood God Seal to begin lighting up one by one.

Taking advantage of this gap, Luo arrived before the City Lord.

The Chiyang City Lord was not a Golden Core True Person; his true strength was only at the Foundation Establishment Mid-to-late stage.

Such strength was clearly nothing to look at in the current Nanhuang.

Luo bowed in salute, then quietly asked:

"In this day and age, has the City Lord ever considered leaving Nanhuang?"

"Leaving Nanhuang?"

The Chiyang City Lord's expression shifted, and he looked at Luo.

He recognized this famous person from the Nanhuang Chamber of Commerce.

Chiyang City had done no shortage of business with people from the Chamber of Commerce over these past few hundred years.

He looked at the Immortal Boat in the sky and said in a low voice:

"You mean... to defect to this Old Ancestor and then leave Nanhuang?"

"The Old Ancestor is not a native of Nanhuang; he comes from the Central Region."

"After the Old Ancestor achieves his goal in Nanhuang, he is going back to the Central Region!"

Luo nodded slightly, then revealed an important piece of news that Su Ping had not yet told the Chiyang City side.

Once these words were spoken, the Chiyang City Lord's gaze shifted, and he had already made a decision.

The other Foundation Establishment Cultivators who heard this information, which had been intentionally left unmasked, also felt their hearts stir one by one.

The situation is stronger than the people.

As long as Nanhuang could still allow them, the high-level officials of the city, to indulge in luxury, they had no thoughts of leaving Nanhuang.

Relying on the protection of the Chiyang City grand formation, this had indeed protected them for the past few hundred years.

It was also because of this that when the major sects of Nanhuang began to flee, they were not in a hurry.

Even when the small and medium-sized sects began to actively band together to flee.

Chiyang City even took the opportunity to take in many Loose Cultivators and refugees, and its strength grew somewhat.

Then... as the environment deteriorated faster than the high-level officials in the city had imagined.

Coupled with suddenly encountering a great disaster, they lost a large number of high-level combatants.

The high-level officials of Chiyang City suddenly discovered that they had now lost the strength to escape Nanhuang...

"This old demon... cough cough, although this Old Ancestor uses the secret methods of the Incense Fire God Sect and is a bit evil."

"But he appears to be upright and open, full of heroic spirit... perhaps he is worth our trust?"

"If the other party really wanted to refine us, he could have made a move when the grand formation was opened; there was no need to deliberately give us Hope!"

"After all, he is an Old Ancestor from the Central Region, and he is certainly different from those in our Nanhuang."

In the sky, Su Ping noticed the small movements of Luo within the city.

He did not care about this; as long as they were not evil cultivators or of the Demonic Path, he would not turn away those willing to follow him.

He would not force those who were unwilling.

However, the ownerless items in the city... no one was allowed to snatch them from him!

Su Ping focused his attention on the Blood God Seal and soon discovered that the Spirit Qi concentration in Chiyang City was actually slightly insufficient.

Furthermore, when the Blood God Seal was refined, the main body of the Blood God would also be unable to resist the instinct to pour distracting thoughts into the Blood God Seal.

Frowning slightly, Su Ping swept up a circle of red light to provide cover, while his main body took the Blood God Seal into the Pot Heaven.

Luo and the others naturally sensed that the aura of the Old Ancestor above had suddenly disappeared.

The knowledgeable Luo smiled faintly and said:

"Do not panic; it is likely that the Blood God Seal is extremely important and was taken by the Old Ancestor to the Blood God Secret Realm."

"The Blood God Secret Realm? That Secret Realm rumored to be the closest to becoming a world of its own?"

The Chiyang City Lord had also heard this rumor, and he asked in surprise, then received the nodding approval of the crowd.

If it were before, they would naturally have been half-believing of this rumor.

But today, after seeing the great power of the Blood God, they were inclined to believe that a Secret Realm housing such a monster had the qualifications to become a world of its own.

Of course, saying it is nearly a world of its own is mainly because this Secret Realm has not been able to detach from the Cultivation World, it just has the characteristic of being movable, so it would not be affected if a certain region encountered a great change.

And thus the Secret Realm would not be affected and destroyed, revealing itself in the Cultivation World.

Inside the Pot Heaven.

Su Ping immediately felt that in this Dongtian, he could not only provide massive amounts of Spirit Qi to allow the Blood God Seal to recover.

At the same time, he could also rely on the characteristics of the Pot Heaven to isolate the influence of the Blood God's main body on himself and the Blood God Seal!

Time passed minute by minute like this.

About two or three hours passed.

The Blood God Seal suddenly erupted with a circle of red light, illuminating the sky over a small half of the mountain peak.

Immediately, this seal swished and submerged into Su Ping's sea of consciousness, becoming another Spirit Treasure that Su Ping had successfully refined.

When this Spirit Treasure was refined, it had only one purpose.

That is to store the Blood God Secret Realm.

But as Su Ping obtained its recognition as master, once he possessed a Blood God Secret Realm.

In a sense, he was equivalent to obtaining a portable secret realm with a higher degree of openness!

The Giant Immortal Boat that he previously had to regretfully abandon could now also be brought into the Blood God Secret Realm and then brought back into the Pot Heaven or Water Blue Star.

Of course, this is only something Su Ping can do.

In the history of the Blood God Sect, only he can steadily control the current Blood God entity.

Allowing other things to enter the Blood God Secret Realm without being instinctively dissolved and digested by the Blood God.

The Blood God Secret Realm has a very good appetite.

Whether it is a Dharma Artifact, Spirit Tool, or pots and pans, it can digest them all.

At least after entering the Blood God Secret Realm, Su Ping only discovered that the Mysterious Remains could not be digested; instead, they were piled up in a corner and sealed layer by layer with blood light.

Clearly, the Divine Power of the Incense Divine Path had no better way to deal with these remains than the Great Golden Light Temple.

However, Su Ping, who possesses the Nether Ghost Body, has already thought of a use for these accumulated Mysterious Remains of past generations.

He returned to the Cultivation World from the Pot Heaven.

As the Blood God Seal appeared between Su Ping's eyes.

Ripples appeared in the sky above.

Then, accompanied by a sudden flash of red light in the sky.

Immediately, the starry sky suddenly appeared in the heavens.

And there was a faint sense that the sky seemed to have sunk by at least a third of the distance; the moon looked so large and so eerie!

The many Cultivators of Chiyang City looked up, watching those stars and the moon.

Watching the pitch-black surface of the Moon.

Absurd thoughts rose one after another in the hearts of these Cultivators.

It also made them more determined that they could not stay in Nanhuang and must run away!

And if they wanted to leave Nanhuang, there was no doubt they must rely on, and could only rely on, that Old Ancestor in the sky!

Under the false starry sky.

Su Ping withdrew the Blood God Seal, which had already stored the Blood God Secret Realm, back into his sea of consciousness.

He could feel that his summoning of the Blood God entity had become even more handy.

The basic Dharma Power required to be consumed was also reduced by more than half.

However, is Nanhuang already unable to even maintain the false starry sky?

Perhaps it won't be long before Nanhuang really won't be able to see the Sun rise, right?

When storing the Blood God Secret Realm, Su Ping sensed that the nearby space was abnormally fragile.

So much so that he didn't encounter any obstacles when storing the Blood God Secret Realm.

Su Ping's heart stirred, and he had already released Valkyrie Kong in the distance.

Bringing in the Space Talent of Valkyrie Kong.

Su Ping felt that he had entered a high-dimensional perspective.

He was able to see the truth of what was happening in Nanhuang at this moment.

Su Ping discovered that the surroundings of Nanhuang, except for the contact point with the ground of the Central Region which was still considered normal.

The edges on the other sides were already being slowly, yet unstoppably, devoured bit by bit by wriggling darkness.

The Space Barrier of Nanhuang was also becoming thinner and thinner, and it seemed that it could be pierced at any time by tentacles bred from the darkness, thereby allowing that viscous darkness to come into direct contact with the Nanhuang continent.

Noticing that several large arrays that should have served to reinforce the space Barrier seemed to have long been abandoned.

Su Ping had a realization in his heart.

It seems that Nanhuang was actively abandoned by the major forces of the Cultivation World.

Just like how the Chiyuan Immortal Sect in the Central Region actively abandoned the territory outside of Zhu Feng.

Su Ping guessed that perhaps those top forces realized after research that if they didn't abandon some places to shrink their defense, they wouldn't have time to complete certain counterattack plans, right?

Su Ping steered the blood light and flew to Chiyang City.

In these few hours, those who had a say in Chiyang City had already reached a consensus.

Immediately, a large number of Cultivators in the city knelt on the ground to welcome the Blood God Old Ancestor to his loyal Chiyang City.

"Blood God Old Ancestor?"

Su Ping's expression was strange, and he decided that after the Incense Divine Path reached Great Success, he must change to a good name.

For example, Thousand Hands Ten Thousand Arms Great Freedom Savior Heavenly Venerable, which sounded extremely good.

After subduing Chiyang City, Su Ping also realized that Nanhuang seemed to have no one capable of fighting during this special period.

He summoned the Great Cultivators of Nanhuang, including Luo and the Chiyang City Lord, to hold a meeting in the city's council hall.

Through their filling in the gaps and the various recorded materials they found.

It could be considered that Su Ping had gained a certain understanding of the general situation in Nanhuang.

Currently, the only ones in the entire Nanhuang confirmed to still have Nascent Soul combat power are one sect and one religion.

Heavenly Sword Sect, Ten Directions Sect.

These two could be considered the pillars of Nanhuang, and they are large sects that would also have relevant records in the Immortal Sect.

However... it is rumored that the Nascent Soul of the Ten Directions Sect has not appeared for decades, and the Ten Directions Sect has also been migrating to the western region during this period.

And the Heavenly Sword Sect clearly has Nascent Soul combat power sitting in town.

Yet Heaven Sword City was still destroyed by the Evil Spirit.

This left everyone shocked and terrified, suspecting that the Nascent Soul Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Sect had either met with an accident or was perhaps no longer in Nanhuang.

Hearing this, Su Ping suddenly thought of the Heavenly Sword Divine Weapon in his mind.

He suspected that the Heavenly Sword Sect Old Ancestor might have left the base in such a hurry precisely because the divine weapon was lost.

Otherwise, shouldn't the Heavenly Sword Sect have waited until they had taken all their sect disciples and those valuable vassal forces away before completely abandoning such an important base?

However, if there is no Nascent Soul, he could actually make a trip to Heaven Sword City.

That place seems to be the essence of the Heavenly Sword Sect; if only Evil Spirits have broken out, perhaps a large amount of well-preserved heritage remains there.

Furthermore, as the most successful major sect among the Incense Fire God Sects, the Secret Techniques of the divine sect they possess must also have their merits!

When the tiger is away from the mountain, the monkey acts as the king!

After Su Ping realized he was that monkey acting as king.

Having completed his main objective of acquiring the Blood God Seal, he decided to take the opportunity to properly play the mountain king for a while!

And by the way... it could also be considered an act of kindness to give those poor Cultivators who had no chance to escape Nanhuang a chance to follow him and survive.

Thinking this way, Su Ping suddenly felt that he was indeed a great philanthropist at heart!

He was worthy of the name Savior Heavenly Venerable who saves the suffering and the world!

After all, people fear comparison; looking at this vast Cultivation World, besides himself, who else with a high cultivation level has felt compassion for the low-level Cultivators of Nanhuang before their eyes?

"This Venerable is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see you struggle to survive; although my ability is limited, I will save as many as I can."

"Those willing to follow this Venerable may board the Immortal Boat, and then we shall set off together!"

Su Ping concluded his speech.

It immediately made the numerous Cultivators weep with gratitude and shout that the Old Ancestor was merciful!

There were also several large Immortal Boats stored in Chiyang City.

Chiyang City no longer had any mortals; the lowest among them were Loose Cultivators at the Qi Refining Second Layer.

There was no need to worry about the Immortal Boats not having enough space.

After the inspection was complete, all the Cultivators in Chiyang City boarded the Immortal Boats, becoming members of Su Ping's fleet to sweep through Nanhuang.

The fleet set off from Chiyang City in a grand and mighty manner.

Following the principle of proximity, they flew toward one sect stronghold after another.

Most of the strongholds had already turned into ruins, barren and desolate, with only Evil Spirits wandering about.

Su Ping took action to sweep away the Evil Spirits and level the ruins, while incidentally collecting the heritage left behind by those sects into the Blood God Secret Realm.

Only then would he head to the next destination.

The tragic state of these strongholds also made the various Cultivators who had boarded the Immortal Boats feel extremely fortunate.

When they encountered mountain gates where normal Cultivators still remained.

They took the initiative to attack one after another, hoping to demonstrate their value in front of that Old Ancestor.

This actually saved Su Ping worry and effort, allowing him to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
