Chapter 549

Blood Moon City.

The Blood God Sect Leader, Yu Shen, politely sent off the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, and his party; when the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, said his goodbyes, he was also all smiles.

But the moment he turned around, his face turned as gloomy as water.

The Blood God Sect Leader's sudden arrival, and his breakthrough to the Ninth Tier, had caught him completely off guard.

Originally, he had been constantly weakening the Blood God Sect's power within the Eight Desolations Wang Ting.

But from today on, the Blood God Sect's power would likely expand and could not be easily weakened.

With a Ninth-Tier expert protecting them, he could no longer manipulate them at will.

The key was that, looking at the appearance of the star gate the Blood God Sect Leader had opened when he came over, behind him, there seemed to be an Eighth-Tier Star Domain.

An Eighth-Tier Star Domain—this foundation was truly extraordinary.

An Eighth-Tier Star Domain had at least seven or eight Eighth-Tier experts and forty or fifty Seventh-Tier experts.

What was more critical was that the aliens within alien star domains grew up in a wild, free-range style.

How much they could grow depended entirely on talent and luck.

But the human race was the type that was carefully managed and cultivated.

If the aliens of this Eighth-Tier Star Domain had been deliberately cultivated by the Blood God Sect Leader, then the power this Eighth-Tier Star Domain brought to the Blood God Sect would likely double.

Adding a new Ninth-Tier expert, plus more than ten Eighth-Tier experts, or even a few more.

It was enough for the Blood God Sect to stand on equal footing with him again.

Fortunately, the Blood God Sect Leader was clearly a person of deep schemes; he hadn't fallen out with him and still followed orders but didn't heed the summons—at least on the surface, it was peaceful.

Along the way, the King of the Eight Desolations calculated for a long time; finally, it turned into a sneer.

So what if they had an Eighth-Tier Star Domain as a foundation!

He, Envoy Ju Zhang of the Jin Zhu Holy Clan, had an Ancestral Realm as a backing and foundation.

It was just that the Ancestral Realm was far away, and it would take time to support him.

Like the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm, it could be opened at fastest once every half year.

If they could find the core of the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm, in another year or two, their Eight Desolations Wang Ting could add another dozen or even twenty Eighth-Tier experts.

The Ancestral Realm could also support three Eighth-Tier experts through the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm every half year.

If they accumulated enough heavenly treasures and Star Jade Tablets, they could even directly communicate with the Ancestral Realm once and ask the Holy Ancestor for a blessing.

He still had plenty of backup plans.

No rush.

The key now was to find the lost Law Core of the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm.

In the previous battle, he had underestimated that thieving human and hadn't prepared sufficiently.

After this battle, he had a full understanding of this thief's strength and methods.

Seven days later, his father, True Person Jin Shuo, would again use a secret method to resonate with that strand of life-aura imprint left in the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm, and he would be able to find this thief again.

This time, he had to be foolproof.

He must capture this thief alive!

In the Blood Spirit Holy Palace within Blood Moon City, the Blood God Sect Leader, Yu Shen, was still shrouded in a layer of hazy blood light; even the core members of the Blood God Sect could not see his true face.

At this very moment, the Blood God Sect Leader had already understood the major events that had occurred within the Blood God Sect during this recent period through separate conversations.

"A traitor has infiltrated the sect, causing Right Protector Lin Mingshi to die miserably three times; is there a grudge against Protector Lin?"

"Is Envoy Ju Zhang also hunting down this traitor?"

"It seems that the incident in the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm you mentioned is ten to nine related to this traitor.

Since the King of the Eight Desolations is hunting him down, we can just sit and watch the mountain collapse.

These few days, let's reorganize the sect affairs first; this seat feels that recent sect affairs have been plagued by frequent accidents and have been handled very poorly by you all," the Blood God Sect Leader shouted.

"Sect Leader, please forgive us; it is this subordinate's incompetence!" Left Protector Fan Kai knelt down abruptly to plead guilty.

The group of Elders also knelt down to plead guilty at the same time.

The pressure brought by the Ninth-Tier Blood God Sect Leader was no worse than that of the King of the Eight Desolations, and even slightly stronger than the pressure brought by the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang.

This made them both afraid and happy.

"Get up; handle things well in the future. Because of Envoy Ju Zhang, you have also had a hard time recently," the Blood God Sect Leader said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the high-ranking members of the Blood God Sect present breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Have you contacted Protector Lin and the Deputy Sect Leader?" the Blood God Sect Leader asked.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, Protector Lin has been contacted. He died three times and used up all the Divine Pattern Essence Blood he had left in the Eight Desolations Continent; he could only use the Divine Pattern Essence Blood left outside the Eight Desolations Continent to revive.

Currently, he has successfully revived, but his cultivation has fallen quite severely," Left Protector Fan Kai said.

"To what extent has it fallen?" The blood light around the Blood God Sect Leader trembled slightly.

"His star power cultivation has fallen to the Sixth-Tier First Layer, which is fine, but his Yuan Spirit cultivation has fallen directly to the Third-Tier Sixth Layer; wanting to cultivate it back will require quite a bit of time and massive resources.

Currently, he is recovering in the Sixth-Tier Star Domain where he grew up and is collecting heavenly treasures.

He said he expects it will take more than two years to return to serve before the Sect Leader," Left Protector Fan Kai said.

"Then contact him as soon as possible and build a channel; the Right Protector has made great contributions to the expansion of our Holy Sect!

Now that he has suffered a disaster, the Holy Sect must help him recover his cultivation as soon as possible.

After building the channel, send a batch of cultivation materials over, especially those for the Divine Soul, to help him return early," the Blood God Sect Leader said.

"In addition, from today on, the position of Right Protector will remain vacant, waiting for Protector Lin to return and take his place."

As soon as these words were spoken, the high-ranking members of the Blood God Sect bowed and shouted, "The Sect Leader is benevolent."

The Sect Leader was sentimental.

Because of this, these high-ranking members of the Blood God Sect who knew the Blood God Sect Leader well were all willing to risk their lives for him.

"What about the Deputy Sect Leader?" the Blood God Sect Leader asked.

"Sect Leader, it can be confirmed that something happened to the Deputy Sect Leader, but so far, we still cannot contact him; even the Mandarin Duck Seal cannot contact him," Left Protector Fan Kai said.

"Then contact him every day; notify this seat as soon as you can contact him. The Deputy Sect Leader is also a person who has worked hard for this sect."

"This subordinate will keep it in mind!"

In the barracks of the Blood Moon Army in Blood Moon City, Seeing Qi Shanye was having a fierce argument with Mo Ji.

"You... why won't you listen to reason?" Seeing Qi Shanye looked at Mo Ji and said angrily.

"Is it me who won't listen to reason, or you?" Mo Ji did not back down at all!

"You..."

"What about me! Do I not know what you are thinking?

You are thinking of saving one if you can!

But I think, as long as there is hope, we should all leave alive if we can!

Although my Divine Soul control has been lifted and I can escape.

But I came with you, and we both came from the Lingji Star Palace.

The Blood God Sect Leader definitely had the Blood-Drop Divine Pattern, and the Blood God Sect Leader's Star-Plucking Token was definitely high-tier; heaven knew what life-saving treasures he might have.

By then, you will be in danger!" Mo Ji said.

Hearing this, Seeing Qi Shanye gave a bitter smile, "Then let's save one if we can!"

"We live together, we die together!

When we came, we came together; when we leave, we either leave standing together, or we leave lying down together!" Mo Ji said, sticking his neck out.

"Sigh..." Seeing Qi Shanye, who couldn't win the argument, could only let out a long sigh, "Aren't you afraid they will realize it and find someone else to control your Divine Soul?"

"That possibility does indeed exist, and it's not small." On this point, Mo Ji admitted it.

"Then why don't you leave!"

"Aren't we brothers!" Mo Ji smiled and took out the fine wine Xu Jin had given him before, "Forget it, damn it, let's drink first.

Counting it up, twenty-two years ago, we should have died, but we stubbornly survived. Originally, we were doomed two years ago.

Didn't expect to hold on for another two years!

Now, living one more day is a profit; what is there to be afraid of!

Come, drink!"

Holding the wine bowl, Seeing Qi Shanye gave a helpless, bitter smile, "Alright, let's drink! Sigh, I'm worried that when the Sect Leader returns, Jin'er wanting to kill Left Protector Fan Kai will basically be impossible.

It would be better to save you!

I will just hide here and see if I have any luck.

Maybe at a critical moment, I can still save Jin'er.

But you!

If they sort out the sect affairs and look back to find that your Divine Soul control is gone, and find someone else to control your Divine Soul, that would be a huge loss!"

"Don't be afraid; you and I are both improving our cultivation. Come to think of it, after Jin'er taught us so many Eighth-Tier star patterns, you and I can now kill enemies across a major realm, right!

Let's cultivate bitterly and improve our cultivation; by then, you can help me kill him," Mo Ji smiled.

"You think beautifully, but there is that possibility! According to the Left Protector, the Sect Leader might reward the backbone members with some treasures; our cultivation will likely be able to improve quickly again.

If there really is some Elder who controls your Divine Soul again, I will have a chance to kill him!" Seeing Qi Shanye said confidently.

"Right, thinking like that is correct!

We brothers, we leave together, we die together!" Mo Ji smiled, "Come, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Wiping the wine stains from his beard, Seeing Qi Shanye frowned and said, "But I'm afraid of another possibility."

"What possibility?"

"Do you think the Sect Leader will directly control your Divine Soul because your Yuan Spirit cultivation is quite high and your Divine Soul is uncontrolled?" Seeing Qi Shanye said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the wine bowl Mo Ji had just raised stopped instantly, and his brow also furrowed; there really was such a possibility.

And this possibility was not small.

If this situation really occurred, for him, it would truly be hell mode.

To have one's Divine Soul controlled by a Ninth-Tier powerhouse—he feared there would be no possibility of breaking free in this lifetime.

"Why don't you just escape? If you escape, I will be suspected or interrogated, which is still much better than you having your Divine Soul controlled by the Sect Leader," Seeing Qi Shanye said silently.

"Don't mention me escaping alone again.

We leave together!

But this move of the Sect Leader wanting to control my Divine Soul must be prevented in advance," Mo Ji frowned and pondered.

A few breaths later, Seeing Qi Shanye, who was also frowning and pondering, suddenly said, "Why don't we merge into one!"

"I mean, defect!"

The two looked at each other for a few breaths, then suddenly slapped their thighs at the same time, "Look, we both thought of the same thing!"

"Right, let's do it!" Mo Ji smiled.

"Let's go; this matter should be done sooner rather than later. Now, follow me to seek an audience with the Left Protector!" Seeing Qi Shanye smiled.

"Good!"

Inside the mansion of Left Protector Fan Kai in Blood Moon City, Left Protector Fan Kai had just returned to his own residence, his mind feeling quite exhausted.

Originally, he, as the Left Protector, was the supreme power in the entire Blood God Sect.

The Sect Leader did not manage general sect affairs.

Now that he had suddenly returned, it made him feel quite unaccustomed and quite uncomfortable.

The feeling of having a Retired Emperor above his head was really not good.

Suddenly, he somewhat understood the Deputy Sect Leader's hidden bitterness; having reached that position, he still had to wade into the muddy waters of their Blood God Sect.

If it were him, he would likely do the same!

However, he had self-knowledge.

Since the Sect Leader had returned, he would just be his Left Protector, assist the Sect Leader, slowly collect resources, and save up points; if the Sect Leader didn't give him resources to break through to the Ninth Tier, he would save them up himself.

However, the Blood God Sect's system was vast and it controlled many resources, but to obtain benefits from it, he still needed to cultivate more confidants.

But the Sect Leader had returned, so he should still be restrained recently.

"Protector, Seeing Qi Shanye, Deputy Commander of the Blood Moon Army, and Mo Ji, Commander of the Blood Cloud Army, are here to visit." Suddenly, a servant came to report.

Left Protector Fan Kai was startled.

Seeing Qi Shanye coming to see him was normal.

But bringing Mo Ji to see him—what did that mean?

Wasn't Mo Ji... Right Protector Lin Ming...

Suddenly, Left Protector Fan Kai's heart jumped violently.

Protector Lin had died several times; could it be that his control over the experts under his command had all failed?

"Sigh, I should have thought of this long ago!" In an instant, Left Protector Fan Kai slapped his thigh in joy.

At the same time, thinking of a certain possibility, he became even more excited.

Seeing Qi Shanye and Mo Ji were the existences with the greatest potential in the entire Blood God Sect, below the two Protectors.

Back then, they had even argued over who would control the two's Divine Souls.

In the end, they each controlled one.

These two, as long as their cultivation improved step by step, would inevitably rise to high positions.

If Protector Lin didn't say anything, then the Sect Leader would only think that Mo Ji was Protector Lin's man...

In an instant, the scheming Fan Kai had already thought of many things.

"Protector, you know my brother; now that Protector Lin has died and disappeared, he has no one to rely on in the sect, so he wants to seek refuge under your protection; please take him in!"

After entering the mansion, Seeing Qi Shanye didn't hide anything, but directly stated his purpose straightforwardly.

Although Fan Kai was pleasantly surprised, he still put on airs.

"This isn't very good! Your Divine Soul is actually controlled by Protector Lin; now that Protector Lin is in trouble, I cannot take what others love, and the Sect Leader wouldn't allow it either."

"To tell the truth, Protector, my brother says that the Divine Soul imprint Protector Lin left in his Yuan Spirit has already dissipated."

"Really?" Although he had expected it, Left Protector Fan Kai still showed a look of pleasant surprise.

"Please take us in, Protector! From now on, we brothers will follow your orders!" Mo Ji took the initiative to express his stance, "This subordinate is willing to open up my Divine Soul; please apply a restriction, Protector!" Mo Ji said.

Pretending to hesitate for a long time, Left Protector Fan Kai reluctantly agreed, but immediately began to plant a Divine Soul imprint in Mo Ji's Yuan Spirit.

"I haven't paid attention for over a year, but your Yuan Spirit cultivation has grown quite fast; you've barely broken through to the Yuan Spirit Mid-Tier."

During the process of planting the Divine Soul imprint, Left Protector Fan Kai's words made Seeing Qi Shanye's heart hang in the air, but Mo Ji said calmly, "How could it be that fast? It's just that I obtained a few more Divine Soul medicinal herbs in the past year or two; previously, the Right Protector also rewarded me with several Fifth-Tier Divine Soul medicinal herbs to save my life, and I used them all to improve my cultivation."

"That makes sense."

This doubt passed without any danger.

"Mo Ji, since you have newly entered my sect, this Protector cannot let you return empty-handed! Here is a Star-Reflecting Seal; it should be able to improve your cultivation by one layer. Consider it an entrance gift; serve well in the future."

"Thank you, Protector."

"Seeing Qi Shanye, you have made a meritorious recommendation; I will also reward you with a Star-Reflecting Seal!"

"Thank you, Protector!"

Although giving away two Star-Reflecting Seals made Left Protector Fan Kai feel a bit of heartache, gaining such a top-tier elite was worth it!

Super worth it!

A quarter of an hour later, Seeing Qi Shanye and Mo Ji left Left Protector Fan Kai's mansion at the same time; the two looked at each other and smiled.

Now, it would save Xu Jin some trouble.

If they could kill Left Protector Fan Kai, they would live together!

If they couldn't!

They brothers would die together!
