Chapter 168: Blood Demon Ancestor

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

"Senior Brother Chen, did you successfully behead Old Demon Yang?"

Chen Xuanxin nodded to everyone and took out the demonic saber refined by Yang Wuqi from his storage bag.

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

Upon hearing that Chen Xuanxin had killed Yang Wuqi, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This demon, in order to sacrifice the demonic saber in his hand, had at least harmed hundreds of ordinary cultivators. Being able to kill this demon today could be considered a great merit 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 would borrow the Jade Wind Shuttle magic tool from Senior Uncle Bai to deal with this demon this time. It is indeed Yang Wuqi’s fate that has come to an end."

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

Chen Xuanxin, hearing Ye Tan mention the magic tool he had just used to pursue Yang Wuqi, 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 unfortunately 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 taken place here.

Chen Xuanxin stepped forward to carefully examine the blood poison on the two of them and said somewhat solemnly, "This should be the blood poison from the Blood Demon Great Technique. It seems that the other demonic cultivator has an extraordinary background and may have some relationship with the Blood Demon Ancestor."

"Blood Demon Ancestor!"

Upon hearing this name, the others immediately opened their eyes wide, unable to believe that the red-robed 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 Floating Cloud Mountain Range. Not only had this demon’s cultivation reached the sixth level of Nascent Soul, but the Blood Demon Great Technique he practiced was also a very powerful demonic cultivation technique, and he did not fall behind even when fighting against Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators of the same level.

Hundreds of years ago, in order to practice his technique, the Blood Demon Ancestor once secretly arranged to completely control a Golden Core sect in a neighboring small country. Subsequently, thousands of cultivators of that sect were all slaughtered by the Blood Demon Ancestor, and the sect’s lineage was destroyed. This incident also aroused the indignation of all sects in the entire Floating Cloud 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 achieved the Dao, he also created the Blood Spirit Sect lineage. His disciples often appeared in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range area. If the red-robed man really practiced the Blood Demon Great Technique, he was indeed very likely a disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect.

"Senior Brother Chen, after this demon self-destructed just now, his corpse and the spiritual objects 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, so as to avoid him escaping back and bringing more trouble?"

When everyone was besieging the red-robed man just now, this demon clearly hadn't reached the point of being at his wits’ end. The act of suddenly choosing to self-destruct was indeed very suspicious. After the incident, Song Qingming also felt that the red-robed man might not be dead 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. Suffering a loss in their hands this time, if he held a grudge, it would indeed be a not-so-small hidden danger. None of the people on the scene, except for Chen Xuanxin, were estimated to be his match if they faced him alone.

Chen Xuanxin shook his head, "Forget it. If this demon is not dead, after this battle, this place has already been exposed, and he certainly 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 more trouble. Moreover, Junior Sister Ye and Fellow Daoist Song are both poisoned and need to be treated quickly. Let’s return to Guyang Mountain first and notify Fellow Junior Brother Yuan of Jinshan Market about this matter."

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

Song Qingming naturally had no objections to this. Being able to resolve 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 Qinghe Market directly but returned to the Xiaoyao Sect with Chen Xuanxin and the others.

After staying in Guyang Mountain for more than half a month, relying on the help of the detoxifying spiritual objects bestowed by the Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingming finally expelled all the blood poison in his body, and his injured left hand soon recovered as before.

In addition to receiving proper treatment, because Song Qingming participated in the battle to crusade against 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 spiritual objects damaged on the battlefield, and he earned a few hundred more spirit stones, which finally didn't let his arm suffer in vain.

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

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 Needle" 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 Yangshan Market to purchase some materials needed for cultivation and repaired his giant bear puppet beast by the way.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, because there was no fixed second-grade alchemist in the entire Qinghe Market, the second-grade pills needed for Song Qingming’s daily cultivation could almost not be bought in Qinghe Market, and he could only go to Jiangling Market or Jinshan Market nearby to buy some.

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

Fortunately, he had not lacked spirit veins for cultivation in Qinghe Market in these years. Relying on hard work in making talismans and the task of stationing in Qinghe Market, he had saved quite a few spirit stones. This time, when he arrived at Yangshan Market, he was finally not short of spirit stones, unlike the last time he came here to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill, when he had cleared out all the spiritual objects and magic tools in his hand.

Touching the storage bag around his waist filled with all kinds of spiritual objects, Song Qingming, walking in Yangshan Market, 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 Yangshan Market for spirit stones.
