Chapter 503: Trap Ambush, Secret of the Lu She, Sword of Blood Clothes

~22 min read 4,228 words

Just after entering the secret realm, Brother Qian Chen's face changed slightly. In the eyes of everyone, his figure suddenly collapsed like bubbles, turning into a spirit butterfly fluttering in place.

The Core Formation cultivator of the Luo Zhen Sect's face changed, and he shouted sharply: "Not right, this is a fake body? This person didn't follow in!"

Fan Fan Cunlu's face was gloomy, and he shouted angrily at the spirit butterfly: "Daoist Brother Qian, what do you mean by this?"

The spirit butterfly flapped its wings innocently, and Brother Qian Chen's calm voice came from it: "If I were you, I would think more about how to escape from this place!"

Fan Fan Cunlu's expression changed drastically. The old servant named Aunt Gui beside him moved, turning into a black line, and rushed toward the exit of the secret realm above his head.

But before she reached the hole of the sea abyss above her head, she was rolled up by a black flag that appeared out of thin air. The black flag spread out, and three blood-colored stars on the flag roared and rushed out, falling toward Aunt Gui!

The three blood-colored stars were all refined from Nine Heavens Star Sand and blood-sacrificed with Seven Kill Star Power, and the killing aura was extremely strong.

Falling from the flag, they were like stars dragging comet tails, crashing into Aunt Gui.

Just one comet shattered the protective magic tool on her body, and the second and third strikes followed one after another, instantly crushing the physical body of this Core Formation old servant. Her divine soul let out a wail and was casually rolled up by the black flag and imprisoned!

"Haha, with the divine soul of this old dog, I can refine another killing star!"

A tall figure sneered and appeared from the sea abyss. He took the black flag, and with a wave, the flag turned into a black sky, completely cutting off everyone's way.

Fan Fan Cunlu gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice: "Iron Blood Killing Star Flag! Which master of the Seven Kill Island are you?"

"Fool!"

The Core Formation True Person of the Luo Zhen Sect cursed secretly in his heart. What's the point of knowing this person's identity now? Will it make them die faster? He secretly guarded himself with spiritual sense, while secretly burying a magic tool under his feet, his peripheral vision seeing the spirit butterfly transformed by Brother Qian Chen flying toward the distance.

The spirit butterfly's figure flickered and flew out a hundred zhang.

A huge hand appeared out of thin air, grabbed the spirit butterfly, and heard a cold snort: "This person is cautious, didn't enter with his true body, and I don't know how this fake body discovered our ambush! Fortunately, the blood... that fellow Daoist is blocking outside, so he shouldn't be able to escape!"

A man wearing a black robe, with his whole body hidden in the black robe magic tool, appeared from the void unhurriedly!

The man holding the big flag sneered: "These people are already dead, why do you still need to hide your head and show your tail?"

"Do we still fear people knowing that we are against the Hundred Boats Chamber of Commerce? I won't change my name, I won't change my surname! The one who killed you little dogs is the Second Master of the Seven Kill Island—Flag-Carrying Warrior Tie Qinghai."

He patted his chest, and the black flag behind him rolled up, and three more blood-colored comet lights rushed out, falling toward the group of people.

The old servant protecting Fan Fan Cunlu watched the three must-kill comet lights that had killed Aunt Gui fall toward them. He gritted his teeth and said to Fan Fan Cunlu behind him: "Young Master, that Daoist Brother Qian earlier noticed something was wrong in advance and withdrew immediately, and he was not confused by the malevolent qi along the way."

"I think his true cultivation is far from what he showed! Now, the only one who can save us is this person!"

"Let that Daoist Brother Qian notify the guest elders of the chamber of commerce to save us!"

"And the matter of our five families extending the ancestor's life must have been leaked, which is why so many opponents of the chamber of commerce were attracted!"

The old servant roared angrily, and several groups of pitch-black thunder light flew out of his sleeves, exploding into a sky full of lightning, dancing like long snakes, and strangling toward the three comet lights.

Brother Qian Chen, entrusting a thread of divine sense to the spirit butterfly, saw all this clearly and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

When Tie Qinghai of the Seven Kill Island took action to kill Aunt Gui earlier, the magic power he revealed was far beyond these two, and only that Core Formation True Person of the Luo Zhen Sect could rival him.

But when this old servant took action, he actually left a thread of divine sense to protect Fan Fan Cunlu behind him. I don't know whether to praise him for being loyal or laugh at him for being careless.

In the face of a powerful enemy far beyond himself, does he deserve to hold back?

Brother Qian Chen had no intention of taking action immediately. This cause and effect should be the tribulation of the Hundred Boats Chamber of Commerce accumulated over the years. What does it have to do with Brother Qian Chen, a rogue cultivator?

Sure enough, only two blood-colored comet lights fell, and the sky full of Yin thunder was shattered.

Just as the third blood-colored comet light, along with the black flag, was about to fall and collect the old servant into the flag, the spirit butterfly transformed by Brother Qian Chen flickered and flew out of the big hand condensed by the black-robed cultivator's true qi, and the spirit butterfly was between true and illusory.

At this moment, Brother Qian Chen was above the sea abyss, closing his eyes and falling into a dream. A sword light slashed out from under the sea surface, instantly splitting the void and slashing Brother Qian Chen in two.

But the sword light seemed to have slashed onto a phantom, passing through Brother Qian Chen's body, empty and weightless.

At this moment, the spirit butterfly turned into substance. The black-robed cultivator let out an "eh," and the big hand condensed by true qi activated a magic tool to fix the spirit butterfly, but at this time the spirit butterfly turned into a phantom again, escaping into the dream. The antennae on the spirit butterfly's head in the dream dropped a thread of lightning light, merging into the remaining threads of thunder.

And Brother Qian Chen's figure outside suddenly turned into substance!

He scanned the black sea surface coldly, waved his hand to summon the flying sword of Shaoqing's token, and with a flick of his finger, the sword light erupted, nailing into the sea surface. The sword light penetrated the heavy seawater and broke into that reef...

Everything happened in a flash. The transformation of true and illusory was just like a dream and an awakening, without a sound, without any anomaly.

The black-robed man stared fixedly at the butterfly in his palm, not knowing what exactly happened behind this strange change?

The remaining electric light rolled back, and a faint green thunder shattered the last blood-colored comet light that had fallen...

Tie Qinghai let out a muffled groan, and as the big flag rolled back, layers of iron-blood malevolent qi appeared on the flag surface, washing back and forth, finally eliminating that bit of electric light.

That bit of powerful electric light made him feel a trace of palpitation even though he was already at the Core Formation Middle Rank.

The power of this thunder was already at the level of Divine Thunder. Even if a true transmission of the Shenxiao Sect at the Core Formation stage took action, it would be nothing more than this!

Tie Qinghai let out a muffled groan and shouted: "Are you still watching the fun, fellow Daoists? If these people escape and alert the Hundred Boats Chamber of Commerce, do we still have a chance to deal with that old dog Elder Fengyang?"

A light laugh came from the void, and a pink peach blossom rose slowly, accompanied by a graceful figure. The peach blossom malevolent qi, like a pink gauze curtain, fell from that peach blossom magic tool, covering the three Core Formation cultivators who were trying to escape and fixing them in place.

A huge one-horned Purple Qiu also meandered over from under everyone's feet!

The Purple Qiu raised its upper body and just flicked its tail, sweeping away the magic tools sacrificed by several Core Formation cultivators.

Those magic tools were all shining with spiritual light, obviously all excellent tools, but when they hit the Purple Qiu, they only left a white mark on the dense black scales.

A sound of rushing rivers and seas came from the Purple Qiu, and a dark black water light rolled up out of thin air on the Purple Qiu, like turbid waves rolling.

The water light gathered and turned into a dark light, accompanied by that giant tail that overturned rivers and seas, and smashed heavily toward the crowd.

The old servant took action to protect Fan Fan Cunlu, but unexpectedly, the pink peach blossom, the iron-blood big flag, and the Purple Qiu inner core struck at the same time, killing him on the spot!

Fan Fan Cunlu felt a trace of despair in his heart. It was clear that all this was a trap set by others. He had tried to probe this dangerous place several times, and this Purple Qiu had been guarding it, killing many of his Dao soldiers, but only today did he know that this flood dragon was actually raised by someone.

The East Sea has the Dragon Palace guarding it, so there are many flood dragons. If it were a flood dragon born of heaven and earth, it would be fine, but if a flood dragon practiced Daoist methods, its divine power and magic power would far exceed cultivators of the same level.

And those who can raise flood dragons are all strong among cultivators.

With just this evil dragon, the person behind it was enough to leave everyone behind.

The people who calculated him today, just those who had already taken action, were four in number, and it was said that one was left outside, probably to guard against them having any way to break through the obstruction of this place and pass the news!

This killing game was almost ten deaths and no life!

Only that Daoist Brother Qian he invited earlier was very mysterious. A fake body actually deceived everyone, and he even discovered the ambush before entering the trap, retaining a thread of opportunity. But with the cleverness shown by this person, even if he successfully escaped, he could just withdraw and not get involved in such troublesome things!

Fan Fan Cunlu had a flash of inspiration, and facing the spirit butterfly held in the black-robed man's hand, he swore to the sky: "Daoist Brother Qian, if you can save us, I am willing to swear here that I will definitely get the spirit root you desire for you! If I violate this oath, may I be devoured by the Heart Demon and never be reborn for a hundred tribulations!"

Tie Qinghai, carrying the black big flag, sneered: "You still expect that person outside to save you? He has some ability, it's true. This fake body of his, we didn't see through..."

The black-robed cultivator held the spirit butterfly and sneered: "It's mirage gas! Although this mirage gas is very thin, this person's illusion technique is truly superb, and this spirit butterfly transformed into a fake body gives me a feeling of being true and illusory, like a clone, not an ordinary puppet!"

"I think that person is at most at the Core Formation realm. If he were to escape, it should be us. He has some ability, it's true, but how is it possible that he can kill the fellow Daoist outside?"

"I must let you know how many people we brought to deal with your Hundred Boats Chamber of Commerce this time, and who is the one guarding against your final means of asking for help?" Tie Qinghai looked resentful.

Fan Fan Cunlu's face changed, staring at him: "Who is it?"

Tie Qinghai laughed wildly: "In the past, for the sake of achieving the Dao, the old dog Elder Fengyang supported a group of robbers, known as the Sea Wolf Society! The leader, Blood Wolf, plundered merchant ships coming and going, and even attacked various ports and islands, killing countless people. After collecting enough resentment and blood sacrifice for the old dog Elder Fengyang, he was backstabbed and wiped out by your Hundred Boats Chamber of Commerce. Who would have thought that Blood Wolf had long been prepared for you to take action, transferring and burying the huge wealth accumulated over the years, leaving it to his descendants!"

"The old dog Elder Fengyang didn't care about this bit of wealth, but your five major families were greedy. A thousand years ago, you finally found Blood Wolf's wealth and slaughtered his descendants, completely covering up your ugly deeds!"

"But why didn't you think about it? Blood Wolf knew how to be cunning like a rabbit and leave a family business for his descendants, so why wouldn't his descendants guard against you? Don't forget! When Blood Wolf was rampant, how many Core Formation and even Yuan Infant cultivators did he kill? What did he rely on? His descendants were afraid of leaking their origins and didn't dare to cultivate that heaven-defying divine power, but after your five major families slaughtered them, those who luckily escaped had no such scruples!"

Fan Fan Cunlu's face changed, trembling: "The Blood-Clothed Marquis who polishes his sword and dyes the sea!"

"Old dog Feng Yang doesn't care about this bit of wealth, but you five great clans are extremely greedy. A thousand years ago, you finally found the wealth of the Blood Wolf, slaughtered the family established by his descendants, and thoroughly buried your own ugly deeds!"

Tie Qinghai sneered: "I am also a descendant of Blood Wolf! The ancestor forbade us to cultivate the Seven Kill Great Art to avoid disaster! But I didn't expect that even though we had changed our names and hidden our identities, your five major families still wouldn't let us go. In this case, what is the use of forbidding that Seven Kill Great Art?"

"Iron Blood Big Flag, Blood Waterfall Sword Technique, Hiding Spirit and Accumulating Blood, Hundred Kill Seeking Emptiness, Blood Shadow Escape Method, Seeking Blood Secret Technique, except for the last one, the Heavenly Demon Transforming Blood, which the ancestor didn't get! In order not to let you discover the clues, the First Master integrated these six major killing techniques and refined the Silent Life-Killing Formless Blood Shadow Sword Technique!"

"How did those three Core Formation late-stage elders of your Hundred Boats Chamber of Commerce who went missing die, do you know?"

Tie Qinghai revealed a ferocious sneer at the corner of his mouth, staring at Fan Fan Cunlu, who was pale and had almost no blood on his face, and sneered: "That's right, it was our Seven Kill Island that besieged and killed them!"

He pointed at the black-robed cultivator and sneered: "This person is probably sent by your opponents in business, hiding his head and showing his tail, not daring to reveal his true face!"

The black-robed cultivator snorted coldly, waved his sleeve, and didn't explain.

Fan Fan Cunlu kept guessing in his heart which chamber of commerce sent this person!

Tie Qinghai pointed at the graceful figure under the peach blossom magic tool again: "Little dog, do you recognize this female cultivator from the Hidden Jade Wonderful Sound Gate? This is also a debt left by your ancestor."

The female cultivator smiled and said: "My gate sacrificed the purity of a generation of disciples to help Elder Fengyang achieve Soul Transformation with all its strength. Who would have thought that your ancestor would fall into the trap, not only failing to hand over the remaining huge funds as promised but also turning his face to snatch the supreme treasure of my gate... I didn't expect that today, his lifespan is really about to end! It is truly retribution!"

"To tell the truth, our gate was not sure at first, so we set up a trap with others and revealed the news of the Nether Soul Cloud Mother you needed! Just to see what your movements were!"

"Now we have not only confirmed that the old ghost Feng is about to end his lifespan, but we have also guessed what kind of life-extending elixir you are preparing to refine!"

The black-robed cultivator also said calmly: "After all, we released news of thirteen kinds of spirit medicines used for different life-extending elixirs at the same time! Although you are very smart and mixed the spirit medicines you sought among various other spirit medicines, due to the different determination you showed when taking action, and the fact that there were people from your five major families informing us, we finally locked onto one of them..."

"That is the Black Heaven Rebirth Elixir that only needs the Nether Soul Cloud Mother!"

"The old ghost Feng has a flaw in his Soul Transformation and finally cannot forcefully extend his life! So you want to refine a Rebirth Elixir that can perfectly seize a body once!" The female cultivator of the Wonderful Sound Gate sneered.

Fan Fan Cunlu stared fixedly at the few people, and the face of the Core Formation cultivator of the Luo Zhen Sect became even uglier. He heard Fan Fan Cunlu say: "So, the Hanguang Immortal Mushroom Grass and Innate Spirit Fetus Light that appeared in the Sea Market earlier were all sold by you to test our Hundred Boats Chamber of Commerce?"

"Exactly!"

Tie Qinghai said: "For this, my big brother, the Blood-Clothed Marquis, took action himself, robbed your Fan family's merchant ship, and snatched the Nine-Feather Phoenix Eye Grass! Luring away the Fan family head, which is your father, who is at the Core Formation late-stage! Then let the merchant team under your command obtain the news of the Nether Soul Cloud Mother!"

Fan Fan Cunlu felt even more despair in his heart!

Since the Blood-Clothed Marquis made a name for himself, he had never failed when fighting with others or robbing cultivators. His name on the Hidden Wind Tower's Hidden Dragon List was also fought out with real killing.

It is said that when he kills the enemy, he uses strange magic formulas to plunder the enemy's essence and blood, integrating it into the flying sword, which can burn the enemy's essence and blood to turn into sword qi and increase the power of the flying sword!

Therefore, he is extremely bloodthirsty when facing the enemy, and his whole body is entangled with the essence and blood he plundered, like bathing in blood, which is why he is called the Blood-Clothed Marquis!

Such a cultivator who is proficient in slaughter, just by fighting one against many Core Formation True Persons, is just a common occurrence. Without four or five Core Formation late-stage experts, it is absolutely impossible to contend with him.

And that merchant team escorting the Nine-Feather Phoenix Eye Grass had nine Core Formation cultivators alone, which was far from what he could compare to by inviting a few helpers alone to take risks here. Although the Blood-Clothed Marquis had people helping him, being able to ambush an entire merchant team without a single person escaping, the horror of his sword technique didn't need to be mentioned!

Today's game, no matter how you look at it, is ten deaths and no life.

Just as Fan Fan Cunlu revealed a trace of ruthlessness, preparing to trigger the seal in his body, he found that his hands and feet were soft, and he couldn't even lift a trace of divine sense.

Seeing him suddenly paralyzed, the black-robed cultivator sneered: "If it weren't to prevent you from committing suicide, why would we bother to say so much?"

He turned to the graceful figure of the female cultivator of the Wonderful Sound Gate and praised: "The Seven Wonderful Transforming Yuan Fragrance refined by the Wonderful Sound Gate is indeed extraordinary! In this way, we can slowly process him and must torture out the clues related to the Lu She prepared by the old ghost Feng!"

The female cultivator of the Wonderful Sound Gate covered her mouth and laughed: "Daoist, you praise me too much! I have a hundred ways to make him open his mouth!"

"Still want to escape!" Tie Qinghai carried the Core Formation cultivator of the Luo Zhen Sect and sneered: "You are cautious, knowing that there is a killing opportunity here, not daring to escape, how does it feel to be hit by the Seven Wonderful Transforming Yuan Fragrance? You are a Core Formation cultivator, it's not easy to take you down..."

He nodded to the huge purple flood dragon, and the flood dragon opened its big mouth and spat out a withered cultivator.

He was covered in mucus, but he was holding a puppet that looked like the Core Formation cultivator of the Luo Zhen Sect.

This person laughed strangely: "I have to secretly cast a curse to cooperate! Spending so much effort is just to prevent you from being ruthless and killing the kid beside you!"

The Zuo Yuan Daoist of the Golden Chicken Temple was paralyzed all over, closed his eyes in despair, and sighed in his heart: "In the end, I still paid for my life for this bit of favor!"

"So cultivators must never owe others cause and effect! I don't know if the Golden Chicken Temple can be maintained after I die. Those few inferior disciples, don't disgrace the Daoist lineage of the ancestor, and I don't know if Daoist Brother Qian can escape... That Blood-Clothed Marquis is so terrifying, I fear it's difficult!"

Tie Qinghai tilted his head slightly and looked at the sea abyss above his head, frowning: "Why hasn't Big Brother beheaded that person and come back yet?"

The black-robed cultivator sneered: "We gathered here just to pry out the clues related to the Lu She prepared by the old ghost Feng from this kid's head! We excluded so many people from the five major families, and only this kid might know some clues. If we can't dig out any clues from his divine soul, we have to trouble Daoist Purple Qiu to refine him into a witch puppet!"

The old man who spat out the Purple Qiu laughed strangely, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

This person was too strange. They couldn't even tell whether he was a rogue cultivator who raised the Purple Qiu, or if the Purple Qiu was his true body, and this withered body was just a shell he disguised?

But everyone joined forces just to deal with the old monster True Person Elder Fengyang. Mutual utilization was the majority, so there was no need to talk about small things like trust!

"The old dog Elder Fengyang is a character of an owl hero. It's not that he doesn't have the opportunity to reincarnate and rebuild. And if he is willing to give up his physical body and turn his lifespan into Yin lifespan, it is not impossible to linger for another thousand years."

"In such a situation, the Lu She he prepared for himself must have a huge secret! It should be a backhand he prepared to make up for his cultivation flaws!" The black-robed rogue cultivator sneered: "If we can seize the Lu She he prepared for himself..."

"What secret!" A curious voice came from above the sea abyss. Everyone was shocked, and all four looked up...

Only to see a head full of blood stains thrown down!

At this moment, Tie Qinghai's whole body was stagnant!

He couldn't stop trembling, staring fixedly at the head full of blood stains. He pushed aside the messy hair of the head, revealing the face that was somewhat similar to his own, and let out a shrill, inhuman cry of grief: "Big Brother!"

Brother Qian Chen was wiping the Shaoqing letter sword in his hand, squatted on the reef, looked at the bottomless sea abyss, and said to the people below: "What secret? Can you tell me?" ===== CHAPTER 504 =====

But then, a head covered in blood was thrown down!

At this moment, Tie Qinghai's entire body froze!

He could not stop trembling, staring fixedly at the blood-stained head. He pushed aside the messy hair of the head, revealing a face that looked somewhat similar to his own, and let out a shrill, inhuman wail of hysteria: "Big Brother!"

Brother Qian Chen wiped the Shaoqing Letter Sword in his hand, squatted down on the reef, leaned forward to look at the bottomless sea abyss, and said to the people below: "What secret? Can you tell me about it?"
