Chapter 434: Ma Wuchen

This red-faced big man is Ma Wuchen, the fourth disciple of the Blood Demon Ancestor, a demonic giant in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range. The reason why he came to Fire Phoenix in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range is precisely because he was entrusted by the Blood Demon Ancestor to investigate the cause of his junior brother's death.

The Blood Demon Ancestor, a demonic expert who has shaken the Floating Cloud Mountain Range for hundreds of years, although he has many disciples, there are only nine main closed-door disciples in total. Besides the fourth disciple Ma Wuchen, the red-clothed man who had dealt with Song Qingming several times back then was also one of them.

The red-clothed man is named Hong Qijun, who ranks ninth among the Blood Demon Ancestor's closed-door disciples, and is also his youngest disciple, deeply loved by the Blood Demon Ancestor.

The reason why Hong Qijun came to Wei State back then was precisely because he received the instruction of the Blood Demon Ancestor to find his junior uncle Xiao Huang, who had been missing for many years, and wanted to get something from him.

The Blood Demon Ancestor and Xiao Huang were both from the same sect, but ever since the Blood Demon Ancestor became a Nascent Soul, the two had no contact. Now, there are not many cultivators in the immortal cultivation world who know about this relationship between them.

The Blood Demon Ancestor had an agreement with Xiao Huang back then that he would go to find him when Xiao Huang broke through to Nascent Soul. It's a pity that later, when Xiao Huang was breaking through to Nascent Soul, he was found by another righteous Nascent Soul powerhouse who sealed him in the Black Stone Valley of Wei State. Since then, there has been no trace of him in the immortal cultivation world.

Hong Qijun searched around Wei State back then but didn't get any clues about Xiao Huang. Later, he left Wei State and went to the Skull Mountain, where Xiao Huang had stayed back then, to continue looking for clues.

As a result, ten years later, he really bumped into Du Yucheng, who came here to look for things. Although Hong Qijun didn't know that Du Yucheng had already apprenticed to Xiao Huang, from the fact that he was very familiar with the terrain of Skull Mountain, he also guessed that his relationship with Xiao Huang was not ordinary.

Later, Hong Qijun used a strategy, taking advantage of Du Yucheng's purchase of artifact refining materials in the market, and asked someone to sell a spiritual item containing the Phase-less Insect to him. It was also because of this that he learned the secret that Xiao Huang's main body had been sealed.

Afterward, Hong Qijun lay dormant for several years and finally waited for an opportunity to follow Du Yucheng into the Black Stone Valley. As a result, in that battle, Hong Qijun somewhat underestimated the opponent's strength. The two sides were equal in strength and fought for a long time, but neither took any advantage. Later, they were caught off guard by Li Yungong and the others who rushed over.

Hong Qijun was seriously injured in that battle and almost lost his life. After he recovered from his injuries and wanted to leave Wei State to find the Blood Demon Ancestor for help, he unexpectedly discovered that the Phase-less Insect was not taken by the Carefree Sect, but for some reason, it ended up on Song Qingming.

That day, when Song Qingming, Gao Yuyao, and others went to explore the Core Formation cultivator's cave dwelling, they were actually already targeted by Hong Qijun and the others on their way back.

It was just because Duan Xueyi and others who were with Song Qingming at the time were all Foundation Establishment experts with extraordinary strength, and Hong Qijun and the others were indeed not Song Qingming's match, so they didn't choose to do it immediately.

Later, after Song Qingming separated from them, he entered the Floating Cloud Mountain Range alone, finally giving Hong Qijun and the others a good opportunity, and they chased after him all the way.

I didn't expect that this time, when besieging Song Qingming, Hong Qijun and the others bumped into Dragon Wind's hands when chasing, and all lost their lives. In the end, the storage magic tool on Xiao Huang also fell into Fire Phoenix's hands.

However, Ma Wuchen was not clear about these things that had already happened. After he came to Wei State to investigate, although he found the Black Stone Valley, he only confirmed that Xiao Huang's primordial spirit had dissipated and died there completely. Ma Wuchen was also not clear about where the things on him had gone.

Seeing that Xiao Huang could no longer be traced, Ma Wuchen placed his hope on Hong Qijun. Using the secret blood talisman given to him by the Blood Demon Ancestor, he unexpectedly found Fire Phoenix, which almost cost him his life.

"Mm! What you said also makes some sense. Ninth Junior Brother has indeed been somewhat arrogant and favored over the years. Clearly, he had already found Xiao Laogui's trace, but he didn't pass the news back to Master in time, and finally provoked a Nascent Soul Monster Emperor. This idiot also deserves this end." After hearing a series of analyses from his disciple behind him, Ma Wuchen also followed and scolded Hong Qijun.

Although demonic cultivators call each other brothers, most of them don't take each other seriously in their hearts. If it weren't for the instruction of Master Blood Demon Ancestor that he dared not violate, Ma Wuchen himself would not be willing to investigate Hong Qijun's affairs.

His trip to Wei State was also at great risk. Some time ago, in order to investigate whether Hong Qijun died in the hands of the Carefree Sect, Ma Wuchen killed many Carefree Sect disciples, which had already alarmed the Carefree Sect Law Enforcement Hall.

Later, although he got rid of the Carefree Sect's tracking, Ma Wuchen also lost two disciples. This trip to Wei State gained nothing, and he also lost disciples and followers, which already made him somewhat angry. I didn't expect that he would bump into the hands of the Nascent Soul Monster Emperor today.

Before coming here, Ma Wuchen also investigated that the nearest Monster Emperor territory to here, Golden Feather Mountain, was ten thousand zhang away. He didn't know that a Nascent Soul Monster Emperor would live under this inconspicuous small mountain. Otherwise, even if he had two guts, he wouldn't dare to come to the door to ask for things from the Nascent Soul Monster Emperor like this.

Thinking of Fire Phoenix's cold eyes looking at him at the end, Ma Wuchen felt uncomfortable all over again. After looking behind him, he took his disciple and left here quickly again.

Half a day later, Ma Wuchen took his disciple to a barren mountain on the outskirts of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range. In a dark stone cave under the mountain, there were three other black-robed people waiting here. These people were also the followers and disciples he brought to Wei State this time.

Seeing Ma Wuchen and another black-robed person walk into the cave, these disciples hurriedly took off the black robes on their bodies, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully, shouting in unison: "Welcome, Master!"

"Ziyu, notify those who haven't returned yet to end the mission immediately and return here. We are going to leave immediately." Ma Wuchen waved his hand at those people and then ordered a black-robed person who followed him back.

Hearing Ma Wuchen say this, among the three black-robed people, one suddenly asked with joy: "Senior, are you going to leave Wei State and report to the Old Ancestor?"

Ma Wuchen looked at this person's flattering appearance, nodded with a smile and said: "You guessed right! The affairs in Wei State have been handled almost well. It's time to go back and report to Master."

"Senior! You promised me that as long as I handled the affairs in Wei State for you, you would accept me as a disciple. Please take me away together. In the future, the disciple will definitely serve you well."

The person who spoke had a very ordinary appearance, and his smile even gave people a somewhat honest feeling. It was precisely Du Yucheng, who had been missing for a long time after the battle of Black Stone Valley.
