Chapter 94: 【Demon Plot, No More Karma】 (First update, seeking subscriptions)

The demon fox was actually a demon!

To be precise, she was a half-demon.

The so-called half-demon was a demon creature with half a human body and half a demon bloodline.

The person behind Piaoxue Tower was not a human, but the Top Mountain Demon King of the demon race's Wanyin Mountain.

The Top Mountain Demon King's original body was a goat, and now he had the cultivation of the Tribulation Transcendence realm, specializing in alchemy. The Blood Yuan Pill that Hou Zhao and the others ate was developed by him, and the raw material for refining the Blood Yuan Pill was human cultivators!

Wanyin Mountain controlled many organizations similar to Piaoxue Tower; they looked like human organizations, but in reality, the top level was controlled by half-demons.

The role of these organizations was on one hand to scout information on the human race, and on the other hand to assassinate human geniuses and stir up human civil war, consuming the potential of the human race to achieve the goal of deciding the outcome in the final battle.

Back then, Piaoxue Tower and some other organizations received instructions from Wanyin Mountain to assist in containing some human sects like the Heavenly Spirit Sect, finally achieving the goal of snatching the Azure Phoenix Blood Jade and eliminating the two Spirit Transformation True Monarchs of the Qingyu Immortal Sect.

Lu Chengtong had truly become an accomplice of the demons.

And he had now joined the Qingyu Immortal Sect; his identity was truly a bit awkward.

Fortunately, others didn't know.

According to the demon fox's memory, this thing, the Blood Yuan Pill, had no method of being cured once developed; after eating it, even if one achieved the Nascent Soul realm, one would still be tortured by that kind of pain, making the people who took it have to continue to submit to demon organizations like Piaoxue Tower.

Through this thing, the demon race also controlled the high-level figures of some human sects, obtaining information, resources, and other things.

The one who developed it was an old monster who had lived for at least four thousand years; let alone asking for an antidote, even if one just met him face-to-face, one would die without a burial place.

If one wanted to let Hou Zhao get rid of the control of Piaoxue Tower, there was another way: find a substitute for the Blood Yuan Pill.

In the demon fox's memory, many demon creatures knew how to refine the Blood Yuan Pill; among them, the one who refined this pill in Piaoxue Tower was another Vice Tower Master and his several half-demon disciples, named 'Heavy Disaster Demon King'. He was also a half-demon; compared to the demon fox, the Heavy Disaster Demon King's demon bloodline was more concentrated, and he usually bore the head of a Heavy Disaster Bird.

Recently, with the great war between humans and demons, as a rare alchemist of the demon race, he was conscripted to Wanyin Mountain to refine pills.

His disciples were still here, on the twelfth floor of Piaoxue Tower.

The cultivation of these half-demon disciples was only in the Golden Core realm; Lu Chengtong controlled the demon fox to trick these people over, and then used supernatural powers to control them as well, obtaining information about the Blood Yuan Pill.

Obtaining a large amount of Blood Yuan Pills, Lu Chengtong let the demon fox refine a supernatural Dao seed, and at the same time let those guys who cursed the demon fox destroy the straw effigies and stop the ritual.

The demon fox's seized one soul and three spirits returned, but were immediately killed.

Lu Chengtong obtained a mid-stage Nascent Soul realm supernatural Dao Fruit as he wished, and stored it away first.

Refining the demon fox's essence blood, he transformed into her appearance, summoned all the killers, and carried out a great purge.

These people, including Hou Zhao and Lu Chengtong himself, were killed directly without any injustice; it was just that the one holding the butcher knife now was himself.

Without the supply of Blood Yuan Pills, these people were a huge hidden danger.

A moment of kindness might be the cause of a tragedy; exterminate evil completely. He was not any saint, nor was he standing on the side of the human race's great righteousness; he just made a choice that was more in line with his own interests.

After the slaughter, he harvested thirty-four Golden Cores again, all packed in special jade boxes and put into the Mustard Secret Realm for storage.

He didn't have any ideas about the remaining Tower Master and Vice Tower Masters; coming here this time, the goal had been basically achieved, and finally, he destroyed this building and left.

Changing several places, he returned to the Qingyu Immortal Sect.

For the next period of time, he worked hard to study the refining of 'Blood Yuan Pill'. In order to study, he also left some Piaoxue Tower killers as materials.

It took him a month and a half to understand the reason why this thing made humans 'addicted'.

This kind of pill adopted the method of 'supplementing form with form'; after humans ate the pill, what attracted them was precisely this feeling.

The pain they felt was not real pain, but a craving from the body, constantly torturing their soul and willpower.

After the first Blood Yuan Pill was eaten, both the soul and the body had a desire to devour their own kind.

So actually, this feeling could be controlled; as long as one removed the part of the soul polluted by the Blood Yuan Pill, the control could be lifted!

Thinking of this, Lu Chengtong immediately took a remaining Piaoxue Tower killer to conduct an experiment.

Using the 【Lost Soul Seizure】 supernatural power, he found the stubborn part, directly stripped it from the soul, and then used thunder to refine the body, removing all the medicinal power related to the Blood Yuan Pill.

It succeeded!

He even discovered another use for the 【Lost Soul Seizure】 supernatural power; this supernatural power could also perform 'painless segmentation surgery' on the soul, used to treat soul toxins. It seemed his supernatural power still had great potential to be excavated.

Before, his cultivation was too low and his mastery of the supernatural power was not enough, so he couldn't learn it deeply; now that he had stepped into the Nascent Soul realm, he could finally conduct preliminary control.

It took another month to confirm that his method had no side effects, and Lu Chengtong found Hou Zhao, who was hiding in a small city.

He transformed into the appearance of Cheng Tongru.

Hou Zhao was now disguised; he was stunned when he saw Cheng Tongru, and then, not knowing what he thought of, pretended not to recognize him and asked:

"Who are you looking for?"

Cheng Tongru walked into his courtyard and asked with a smile:

"Brother Hou, have you been well?"

For a moment, Hou Zhao was stunned again; his expression was complicated, and he really couldn't think of how the other party recognized him.

Lifting his hand to restore his appearance, Hou Zhao revealed a smile.

"Brother Cheng, please come in."

Under a huge jujube tree, at a stone table, the two sat opposite each other, poured a cup of tea, and Hou Zhao asked:

"Brother Cheng, how did you find me?"

Lu Chengtong replied:

"Very simple, I have been paying attention to you, including you joining Piaoxue Tower."

Hou Zhao's body suddenly stiffened, and an incredulous expression appeared on his face.

Lu Chengtong continued:

"I am not Cheng Tongru; I am actually surnamed Lu, the Lu of Lu Chengqin. You should understand what I mean."

A look of reminiscence appeared on Lu Chengtong's face, and he spoke to himself:

"Back then, the Lu Family was destroyed, I survived, and after disguising myself, I infiltrated the Ziyao Immortal Sect. I originally thought that I was just one person struggling alone, plotting revenge. Later, I met you. You should count as half a brother-in-law to me.

I did not expect that there was still one person silently waiting for an opportunity to avenge the people of my Lu Family.

Thank you!"

Hou Zhao stared blankly at Cheng Tongru before him, his mind in a state of chaos.

Lu Chengtong, however, was not prepared to say more and directly stated the purpose of his arrival.

"To thank you, I have come to help you remove the control of the Blood Origin Pill. From now on, you should have your own life, whether it be seeking the Dao for longevity or establishing a sect; between us, there will be no more karma!"
