Chapter 97

I say these things just to put your mind at ease. Fellow cultivator, since you are secretly protecting Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen, you are also a friend of my Great Dao Sect.

Lu Xuan nodded lightly.

This expression fell into Ancestor Cangxuan's eyes, making him feel ever more that the person before him was mysterious.

A moment of silence.

Ancestor Cangxuan smiled slightly and said, 'Half of the Nan Huang History, every volume bears the name of my Great Dao Sect. Perhaps your name, fellow cultivator, may one day enter the scroll of my Great Dao Sect's historical annals.'

Lu Xuan said slowly, 'I am already within it.'

Ancestor Cangxuan narrowed his eyes, looking at Lu Xuan, and said, 'Good, good, good! Fellow cultivator, you can be considered half a member of my Great Dao Sect! You may raise any request.'

Lu Xuan thought and said, 'Any request is okay?'

Ancestor Cangxuan said, 'All are okay.'

Lu Xuan took out his identity token, put on a solemn expression, and said, 'Ancestor, inject one hundred billion contribution points into this token.'

Hiss!

Ancestor Cangxuan drew a sharp breath.

Absurd!

His gaze was piercing, fixed on Lu Xuan; he now somewhat doubted whether that fellow cultivator had already left Lu Xuan's body.

Besides Lu Xuan, nobody would be so shameless!

But Ancestor Cangxuan did not probe.

A moment of silence.

Lu Xuan said, 'Ancestor, rest assured, this token is solely for Ye Chen and Ji Fuyao to exchange for treasures and cultivation methods.'

Ancestor Cangxuan thought and said, 'How about this: thirty million contribution points?'

Lu Xuan said, 'One hundred million!'

Ancestor Cangxuan's face twitched, 'Forty million?'

Lu Xuan said, 'Eighty million!'

Finally, Ancestor Cangxuan hammered the decision: 'Fifty million contribution points, no more! Otherwise the Great Dao Sect will have contribution points**!'

Lu Xuan extended his right hand, 'Deal.'

Beside them, Ji Fuyao stared, dumbfounded.

As expected of the master!

Easily tricked… ah no… won fifty million contribution points!

After a moment, Lu Xuan said, 'Ancestor, rest assured, with me at Xuan Qing Feng, there will be no problems.'

Ancestor Cangxuan nodded, very satisfied with this secret talk.

He suddenly recalled Ji Fuyao's injury, looking at Lu Xuan, 'Oh, right, Fuyao should have undergone soulburning, his injury…'

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xuan said with a smile, 'Don't worry, I also know a bit of medical arts; Fuyao's injury is a minor issue, I can handle it.'

Ancestor Cangxuan nodded, a thread of divine sense lightly probing Ji Fuyao's condition, slightly surprised, 'The injury from soulburning is extremely troublesome. I never expected that in the fellow cultivator's hands, it would recover so quickly. It seems I was overthinking.'

Ji Fuyao's face flushed slightly; recalling the scene of Lu Xuan treating him, he couldn't help but tremble, his slender jade hand lightly touching his own crimson phoenix robe.

Ancestor Cangxuan chuckled, 'Fellow cultivator, then I won't disturb you anymore! Farewell!'

Lu Xuan said solemnly, 'Goodbye!'

Soon.

Ancestor Cangxuan directly shattered the seals and restrictions in his cave dwelling, then stepped through the air and left.

Watching Ancestor Cangxuan's retreating back, Lu Xuan's mouth corner curled up slightly.

Ji Fuyao pressed his lips and smiled, 'Master, you're amazing!'

Lu Xuan smiled, 'From now on we can go to the Great Dao Hall again to exchange treasures and cultivation arts for you and Ye Chen.'

Ji Fuyao tilted his snow-white neck slightly, nodded, and said, 'Thank you, master.'

Soon.

Ji Fuyao left Lu Xuan's cave dwelling and went back to cultivate.

Lu Xuan, meanwhile, lay on the ice jade bed and began to rest.

Ding! Host's eldest disciple Ji Fuyao is cultivating! Begin syncing cultivation!

Ding! Host's second disciple Ye Chen is cultivating! Begin syncing cultivation!

The sound fell!

Two streams of pure spiritual energy surged into his body, continually flowing into his dantian.

Lu Xuan murmured, 'How is Ye Chen cultivating? Hasn't he entered the secret realm yet?'

…

Cangzhou, Liu City.

Boom!

An incomparably terrifying aura surged between heaven and earth, like a vast ocean raging, like fierce winds converging.

Void Rending!

Space twisted!

From the void rift walked out a blood-robed great emperor, his complexion sinister, his eyes as deep and dark as an abyss, his gaze sweeping over this region of heaven and earth, his whole body surging with killing intent.

Behind him were two old men, bowing and scraping, following his steps.

The arrivals were none other than the Blood Tyrant Great Emperor and his two great emperor attendants.

At a glance he saw, amidst the ruins, the two already shattered Tianluo tokens, inserted among endless bloodstains, looking quite miserable.

In the next instant.

Blood Fiend Great Emperor stretched out his right hand, seized the ruins of Liu City, and quickly the two 'Heaven' and 'Net' tokens of this segment shrank with a boom and flew into his hand.

He lightly rubbed the dirt and bloodstains on it, and the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.

"Great! Dao! Sect!"

Blood Fiend Great Emperor gritted his teeth, this time the Heavenly Net Hall Main Hall attached great importance to the matter of the Floating Empress, yet before he could arrive, things had already gone wrong!

How could he explain this to Hall Master Duan Hunsheng?

Hall Master Duan Hunsheng cares only for results, not the process!

If he returns empty-handed, lightly he will have his soul drawn out and severely punished by the Hall Master, heavily he will be slain and refined into a puppet.

Just thinking of this, Blood Fiend Great Emperor instantly felt his scalp go numb, his very soul trembling.

We must bring the Floating Empress back!

Now the Great Era has descended, the secret art of reincarnation and cultivation is priceless; our Heavenly Net Hall must obtain it!

Thinking of this.

Blood Fiend Great Emperor's face turned ice-cold; he directly unleashed a palm at Liu City, instantly heaven collapsed and earth sank, all things withered, and the spiritual power of heaven and earth within a ten-thousand-li radius was completely absorbed by him.

Boom boom boom!

Liu City turned from a ruin into a deadly zone!

Perhaps it cannot recover its heavenly and earthly spiritual energy for thousands of years!

Blood Fiend Great Emperor suppressed his inner rage and killing intent, and said to the two servants behind him, "Go! First check out the branch hall of the Setting Sun Great Emperor!"

The two servants replied, "Yes, sir!"

Several hours later.

Blood Fiend Great Emperor and his two attendants descended upon the Heavenly Net Hall branch hall under the Setting Sun Great Emperor.

This place was already a ruin, the land sunk, mountains collapsed, the great palace shattered.

The many elders and disciples of this branch hall had long since turned into wandering souls, no longer existing.

Blood Fiend Great Emperor's gaze was icy, his face sinister: "It must have been that grey-robed Great Emperor of the Great Dao Sect!"

He sensed the aura of Old Ancestor Cang Xuan!

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Blood Fiend Great Emperor clenched his fist, endless killing intent almost condensing into substance, a resonant sound surged through his blood vessels, like crashing waves against the shore.

In endless fury, Blood Fiend Great Emperor's Blood Refining Technique was aroused, a huge phantom blood pool appeared around him, vast blood surged tumultuously.

Blood Fiend Great Emperor licked his lips, looked down upon the many cities on the ground, and spoke coldly.

"Before going to the Great Dao Sect, I will devour the blood of some ants to prepare for this battle!"

The sound fell!

Blood Fiend Great Emperor directly tore open the void.

Over the next one or two days.

Blood Fiend Great Emperor slaughtered madly.

He descended upon one human cultivator city after another, directly unleashing his Blood Sea Divine Ability; terrifying imperial might filled the heavens, the boundless blood sea turned into raging waves that swept across, slaughtering countless human cultivators.

Wherever he passed, not a blade of grass grew, all living beings had their vitality devoured.

After destroying over ten cities in succession, Blood Fiend Great Emperor licked his lips, still unsatisfied; at this point he had reached peak condition.

This journey to the Great Dao Sect will surely be a bloody battle.

Yet Blood Fiend Great Emperor felt no fear, his face ferocious as he said, "Go! To the Great Dao Sect to seize people!"

Instantly, Blood Fiend Great Emperor, with his two Great Emperor attendants, crossed the void.

The target, the Great Dao Sect!

Blood Fiend Great Emperor did not conceal his aura, directly activating the Heavenly Net Hall's Dao Patterns, spanning the myriad provinces.

All the way smooth and unobstructed, none dared to block him!

The strong ones of the myriad provinces recognized Blood Fiend Great Emperor, all somewhat shocked.

A Great Emperor exclaimed, "Blood Fiend Great Emperor's heading is the Great Dao Sect? Could he really be going to the Great Dao Sect to seize people?"

"These past days Blood Fiend Great Emperor has destroyed who-knows-how-many cities, slaughtered countless cultivators, all just to prepare for this battle!"

Everyone was shaken in body and mind.

Now every move of Blood Fiend Great Emperor represents the will of the Heavenly Net Hall.

When Heavenly Net Hall personnel personally come to the Great Dao Sect to seize people, who knows how the Great Dao Sect will respond?

Some strong ones of the myriad provinces secretly followed Blood Fiend Great Emperor, wanting to know the outcome of this matter.

Blood Fiend Great Emperor snorted coldly, paying no heed to the tail behind him.

En route.

Blood Fiend Great Emperor received a mental transmission from the Nineteenth Elder of the Heavenly Net Hall Main Hall, Mo Ying Great Emperor.

"Elder Blood Fiend, go first to the Great Dao Sect to seize people! I will also bring the Hall Master's edict and go!"

Upon hearing this, Blood Fiend Great Emperor felt somewhat excited, "Yes, sir! Nineteenth Elder!"

He never expected that this time even the Nineteenth Elder of the Main Hall would personally descend!

And moreover, bringing the edict of Hall Master Duan Hunsheng!

Duan Hunsheng is a Nine Star Great Emperor; this Hall Master's edict contains the power of a single strike from the Nine Star Emperor Realm.

Who in the Great Dao Sect could block it?

Blood Fiend Great Emperor snorted coldly, the Great Dao Sect may also be a hegemon-level power, but even among hegemon-level powers there are gaps!

Though the Great Dao Sect has stood firm through countless eras, it has long withered to ruin, declining toward sunset, utterly unable to compare with the Heavenly Net Hall.

Thinking of this.

The Blood Fiend Great Emperor gave a cold snort, with a sinister look, said, "Empress Fuyao, you cannot escape the grasp of my Heavenly Net Hall! Even the Grand Dao Sect cannot protect you!"

Boom!

The Blood Fiend Great Emperor traversed the void, taking two Great Emperor servants and shooting toward the Grand Dao Sect.

……

Near the Heavenly Blade Sect.

The ancient inheritance site here has not yet been fully opened; Elder Mu and various powerful forces joined forces to lay seal restrictions within this ancient inheritance.

They have confirmed that this ancient inheritance is a low-star Martial Dao Great Emperor inheritance.

To the many hegemon-level forces, this Martial Dao Great Emperor inheritance is not particularly important; what matters is that wisp of Dao Resonance from the Bronze Ancient Hall.

The Bronze Ancient Hall, an ultimate ancient artifact, is extraordinarily mysterious; it leaving this wisp of Dao Resonance is no coincidence.

They must obtain this wisp of Dao Resonance!

These past few days.

Elder Mu and the others, while laying down the seal restrictions, also attempted to intercept this wisp of Dao Resonance.

Here, divine radiance flows endlessly, boundless brilliant Great Emperor Dao patterns swirl outward, and a profound, obscure aura entwines within the small world of the Martial Dao Great Emperor's secret realm, appearing extraordinarily mysterious.

They carefully condensed the Dao patterns, broke into the inheritance secret realm, intercepted the Dao Resonance, and seized the fortune of the secret realm!

Everyone could not help but feel awe.

Merely the Bronze Ancient Hall's brief stay here left behind such terrifying 'Dao' and 'Resonance'.

However, this wisp of Dao Resonance intruded into the Martial Dao Great Emperor's inheritance secret realm, making it difficult to separate.

A Great Emperor of the ancient Qin clan said, 'If we could obtain this wisp of Dao Resonance, perhaps we could pierce the hidden place of the Bronze Ancient Hall and thus find the Bronze Ancient Hall.'

The Medicine Clan's Great Emperor nodded, 'Not bad. As an ultimate ancient artifact, the Bronze Ancient Hall is of great significance to us; this Martial Dao Great Emperor's inheritance is hardly worth mentioning, the supreme secrets within the Bronze Ancient Hall are the key to the supreme path!'

The grey-robed Great Emperor of the Heavenly Net Hall glanced at Elder Mu, then changed the tone and said.

'The great age of this era has finally arrived; some hegemon-level forces are golden and jade on the outside but rotten within, merely empty reputations, in fact already decayed, and they should also perish in Nan Huang.'

Upon these words, the atmosphere in the place stalled.

Everyone looked toward Elder Mu and the Heavenly Net Hall's Great Emperor.

They already knew about Ji Fuyao's matter.

The Azure Profound Ancestor destroyed a branch hall of the Heavenly Net Hall; given the Heavenly Net Hall's modus operandi, this will certainly not end here.

At this moment, Elder Mu let out a cold snort, 'Our Grand Dao Sect need not trouble you to worry. Half of Nan Huang's history bears the shadow of our Grand Dao Sect; how dare you presume to comment on us?'
