Chapter 168: Blood Demon Ancestor

After landing, a smiling Chen Xuanxin had just put away the white jade shuttle in his hand when Lu Yuanfeng immediately leaned over and asked.

"Senior Brother Chen, have you successfully beheaded Old Demon Yang?"

Chen Xuanxin nodded to the crowd and took out the magic knife refined by Yang Wuqi from his storage bag.

"I have been tracking this demon for decades. This time, I have finally fulfilled my mission and ended this old demon here. It can be considered as removing a great scourge for the many living beings in the State of Wei."

Upon hearing that Chen Xuanxin had already killed Yang Wuqi, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This demon, in order to refine this magic knife in his hand, had harmed at least several hundred ordinary cultivators. Being able to kill this demon today could be considered a great achievement for all of them.

Ye Tan, who had already recovered quite a bit, coughed lightly and said, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother Chen, in order to deal with this demon, actually borrowed the magic tool Jade Wind Shuttle from Senior Uncle Bai. It was truly Yang Wuqi's fate that had come to an end."

"Eh! Junior Sister Ye, are you poisoned?"

Chen Xuanxin heard Ye Tan mention the magic tool he had just used to pursue Yang Wuqi and looked at her somewhat unexpectedly, only then discovering that there was something abnormal about her.

"When we beheaded another demonic cultivator just now, Junior Sister Ye and Fellow Daoist Song were inadvertently injured by the blood poison on his body." Hearing Chen Xuanxin's inquiry, Lu Yuanfeng hurriedly stepped forward to explain the battle that had just occurred here.

Chen Xuanxin stepped forward to carefully examine the blood poison on the two and said somewhat solemnly, "This should be the blood poison from the Blood Demon Great Law. It seems that the origin of that other demonic cultivator is somewhat extraordinary, and it is possible that he has some relationship with the Blood Demon Ancestor."

"Blood Demon Ancestor!"

Upon hearing this name, the others immediately widened their eyes, somewhat unable to believe that the red-clothed man who had just fought a great battle with them could actually have a relationship with such a great demon.

Mentioning the name of the Blood Demon Ancestor, that was a great demon hated by dozens of countries in the entire Fuyun Mountain Range. This demon not only had a cultivation base that had reached the sixth layer of Nascent Soul, but the Blood Demon Great Law he practiced was also a very powerful demonic cultivation art, and he would not fall behind even when fighting against Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators of the same level.

Zhao Zhao Jibai of years ago, in order to practice his cultivation art, the Blood Demon Ancestor once secretly arranged to completely control a Golden Core sect in a small neighboring country. Afterward, thousands of cultivators of that sect were all slaughtered by the Blood Demon Ancestor, and their Dao lineage was exterminated. This incident also caused indignation among all the sects in the entire Fuyun Mountain Range for a time, and they organized several waves of cultivators to crusade against this demon, but unfortunately, they all failed to get their wish in the end.

After the Blood Demon Ancestor attained the Dao, he also created the Blood Spirit Sect lineage. His disciples often haunted the Fuyun Mountain Range area. If the red-clothed man was truly practicing the Blood Demon Great Law, he was indeed very likely a disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect.

"Senior Brother Chen, after this demon self-detonated just now, his corpse and the spirit items on his body were not found at the scene. We were highly likely deceived by his substitute method. Should we notify the nearby families to help search, to avoid him escaping back and causing trouble again?"

When the crowd was besieging the red-clothed man just now, this demon clearly hadn't reached the point of being at his wit's end. His choice to suddenly self-detonate was indeed very suspicious. Afterward, Song Qingming also felt that the red-clothed man might not have died and should have used some secret technique to deceive them and escaped directly.

Even if this demon had nothing to do with the Blood Demon Ancestor, his strength was not much worse than that of Yang Wuqi. If he held a grudge, it would truly be a not-so-small hidden danger. Among the people present, except for Chen Xuanxin, no one was his match if they faced him alone.

Chen Xuanxin shook his head and said, "Forget it. If this demon hasn't died, after this battle, this place has already been exposed, and he definitely won't stay in this vicinity. We came here this time to deal with Yang Wuqi. Since this mission has been completed, don't create extra complications. Moreover, Junior Sister Ye and Fellow Daoist Song have both been poisoned and need to be treated quickly. Let's return to Mount Guyang first and notify Junior Brother Yuan in Jinshanfang about this matter."

"Senior Brother Chen is right, let's do that!" After listening to what Chen Xuanxin said, everyone had no objections, nodded one after another, and returned directly to the Xiaoyao Sect.

Song Qingming naturally had no objections to this. Being able to remove the hidden danger of the blood poison on his body early was definitely a very important thing for him.

Therefore, Song Qingming did not follow Lu Yuanfeng back to Qinghefang directly but returned to the Xiaoyao Sect with Chen Xuanxin and the others.

After staying on Mount Guyang for more than half a month, relying on the help of the detoxifying spirit items bestowed by the Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingming finally expelled all the blood poison in his body, and his injured left hand also recovered quickly.

In addition to receiving proper treatment, because Song Qingming participated in the battle to eradicate Yang Wuqi and beheaded Han Tongshan, a Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, he also received a reward of eight hundred spirit stones from the Xiaoyao Sect, which just happened to fill the gap of his spirit items being damaged on the battlefield, and he earned a few hundred more spirit stones, which could be considered as not letting his arm be injured in vain.

In the battle with Han Tongshan that day, after Ye Tan left the battle to help Lu Yuanfeng and the others, Song Qingming actually didn't think he could kill this demon alone. Although Han Tongshan was already injured at the time, Song Qingming didn't want to fight him to the death at the beginning. After all, the two of them didn't have much difference in cultivation base, and Song Qingming only occupied a little advantage of being more familiar with their methods and cultivation arts.

It was just that after the Soul-Gathering Banner in Han Tongshan's hand was damaged by Song Qingming, he suddenly became ruthless and wanted to kill him in a hurry, which gave Song Qingming a chance to ambush him with the "Invisible Jade Light Needles," a supernatural power he had practiced for many years.

After recovering from his injuries in the Xiaoyao Sect, taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Qingming also went to Yangshanfang to purchase some materials needed for cultivation and repaired his giant bear puppet beast along the way.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, because there was no fixed second-tier alchemist in the entire Qinghefang, the second-tier pills Song Qingming needed for his daily cultivation could almost not be bought in Qinghefang and could only be bought in the nearby Jianglingfang or Jinshanfang.

But the supply of spirit pills for Foundation Establishment cultivators in those two places was not much, and they would often be out of stock, causing him to often make a wasted trip. This time, having finally had the opportunity to come to Yangshanfang, he naturally had to make a big purchase.

Fortunately, he had not lacked spirit veins for cultivation in Qinghefang these past few years. Relying on his hard work in talisman making, plus the task of guarding Qinghefang, he had still saved a lot of spirit stones. This time, arriving at Yangshanfang, he finally was not short of spirit stones, unlike last time when he came here to scrape together spirit stones to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill and cleared out all the spirit items and magic tools in his hand.

Touching the storage bag filled with all kinds of spirit items at his waist, Song Qingming, walking in Yangshanfang, rarely felt a very pleasant mood and missed the days when he was still in the Qi Refining stage a few years ago, running around in Yangshanfang for spirit stones.
