Chapter 28: Blood Yin Sect
Although Ge Ming was a Perfected Foundation Establishment powerhouse, even he had never seen such extravagance as in Qingxuan Sect.
Pills that restore Magic Power were equivalent to half a life in battle—how precious were they?
Yet Qingxuan Sect was feeding them to a bunch of Qi Refining Stage disciples like they were candy.
"Since this Nascent Soul is so generous, we absolutely can't let them off."
"This Nascent Soul must be gravely injured, that's why they're hiding in this little Qingxuan Sect."
"If we can get our hands on it..."
"Let's probe a bit more..."
Ge Ming muttered to himself a few more times.
In the real world.
He Zhi had been cultivating with Replenishing Qi Pills for an entire day and was quite fatigued.
Continuously channeling Magic Power into the flying sword was extremely draining on his spirit.
However, despite the fatigue, He Zhi wore a joyful expression.
Because he discovered that his control over his legs had strengthened once more.
He could now fully straighten both legs using his own strength.
This was a massive improvement.
"In a few more days, I might even be able to try standing..."
He Zhi fantasized in his heart.
Healing his legs was getting closer and closer.
The effects of cultivation were truly powerful!
He Zhi moved his legs around a bit more, then went to the kitchen to stir-fry another plate of spirit beast meat.
After eating his fill, he didn't continue cultivating but went straight to bed to sleep.
After all, he'd been replacing sleep with cultivation these past few days—it was time for a proper rest.
However, the computer and game were still running; he just muted the sound and dimmed the screen brightness.
The next morning, He Zhi got up and checked the screen before even washing his face.
Because he saw that Qingxuan Sect was under attack.
It was the Blood Yin Sect cultivators coming again.
This time, there were fully three Foundation Establishment cultivators leading over a hundred Qi Refining Stage disciples.
The Blood Yin Sect disciples had also set up a formation outside the Sect-Guarding Grand Array.
The formation roiled with bloody light, bombarding the Sect-Guarding Grand Array.
Blood Yin Sect's forces were clearly much larger than Qingxuan Sect's.
They'd lost so many Foundation Establishment cultivators before, yet in the blink of an eye, they'd assembled another force like this.
However, these Blood Yin Sect Qi Refining disciples seemed to have weak Magic Power and poor magical artifacts; the formation they set up had very little power.
The bloody lights crashed against the protective barrier without making a dent.
Attacking like this, it would take a year to breach Qingxuan Sect's Sect-Guarding Grand Array.
No one knew what their intentions were.
Meanwhile, the three Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators didn't attack themselves but just kept hurling insults.
"Qingxuan Sect trash, your Blood Yin Sect grandpas are here! Come out and greet us!"
He Zhi turned on the sound and heard the arrogant taunts from the Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"You demon cultivators, do you really think Qingxuan Sect has no one left?"
The Qingxuan Sect Master was leading a group of disciples, glaring furiously at the Blood Yin Sect cultivators across the Sect-Guarding Grand Array.
The Sect Master looked quite angry.
After all, being blocked at the door and cursed at first thing in the morning would piss anyone off.
However, though furious inside, the Sect Master didn't open the Sect-Guarding Grand Array for the disciples to use the sword formation like last time.
With so many demon cultivators this time, if a gap opened in the Sect-Guarding Grand Array and they broke in, it would be dangerous.
Besides, these demon cultivators knew Qingxuan Sect had a Grand Elder, yet they still dared to come provoke them—what were they thinking?
Was there a conspiracy?
"Haha, yeah, we're bullying your unmanned Qingxuan Sect—what about it?!"
"I heard your dead ghost Grand Elder came back to life? This grandpa doesn't buy it—show him if you've got the guts!"
"Haha, we've been cursing for so long with no response—it must just be a bluff..."
The Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators kept hurling insults, getting more and more vile.
"What? They dare insult the Grand Elder!"
"Sect Master, let's fight them!"
"They're courting death! If they anger the Grand Elder, they're done for!"
At this, the Qingxuan Sect disciples flew into a rage, ready to fight the Blood Yin Sect demon cultivators to the death.
After all, they now deeply respected the Grand Elder—how could they tolerate these demon cultivators slandering him?
"Demon cultivators, die!"
This time, even the Sect Master couldn't hold back.
Truth be told, he really didn't want to fight.
But with these demon cultivators insulting the Grand Elder, he had to make a move.
Just three Foundation Establishment demon cultivators—should be fine.
Even if something went wrong, there was still the Grand Elder, right?
So the Sect Master quickly manipulated the array disc, opening a small gap in the Sect-Guarding Grand Array's barrier.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The Qingxuan Sect disciples immediately controlled their flying swords, forming a massive sword formation in the air.
Now each Qingxuan disciple wielded a high-grade sword embryo in each hand; the sword formation's power was much stronger than last time.
The disciples channeled their power together, and the giant sword shot out from the small gap in the Sect-Guarding Grand Array, slashing toward the Blood Yin Sect cultivators outside.
The three Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators saw this but still didn't act, immediately retreating to avoid the giant sword's edge.
Those facing the giant sword's sharpness were now the over hundred Blood Yin Sect disciples.
"Bad! Block it quick!"
The Blood Yin Sect disciples saw the giant sword slashing down at high speed and were instantly terrified.
They frantically poured Magic Power into their "Blood Yin Rakshasa Grand Formation," pushing it to the limit.
But it was useless.
After all, these Blood Yin Sect disciples didn't have high-grade magical artifacts; their formation was too weak.
Sizzle!
With a light sound, the giant sword sliced through the formation's bloody light and struck the Blood Yin Sect disciples.
In one slash, over twenty were decapitated, blood flowing everywhere.
The giant sword's power was immense, equivalent to Foundation Establishment might. Yesterday, the disciples had used it to slay a Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment powerhouse.
How could these ordinary Qi Refining Blood Yin Sect disciples withstand it?
They could only be instantly killed.
"..."
The Qingxuan Sect disciples were momentarily stunned at the sight.
Most of them had never taken a life before.
Suddenly seeing over twenty killed in one strike left them dazed.
"Demon cultivators! Good riddance!"
"Kill more!"
But some elite Qingxuan Sect disciples had firm resolve and didn't hesitate, immediately urging the sword formation again.
So the giant sword slashed once more, killing over a dozen more in an instant.
"Run quick!"
"Can't escape—the three Foundation Establishment executives are watching from behind."
"Why! Why send us to die!"
The Blood Yin Sect disciples, seeing they couldn't resist, panicked and roared in despair.
Meanwhile, the Qingxuan Sect disciples recovered from the shock of their first kills.
Blood Yin Sect demon cultivators deserved to die—why care?
So they pinched their sword arts, making the giant sword slash even faster.
In a short time, over half of the hundred-plus Blood Yin Sect disciples were dead.
"Well struck..."
The Sect Master praised.
Suddenly, he sensed something wrong.
The three Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators were watching their sect disciples get massacred without lifting a finger—why?
"Bad! It's a trap!"
"Recall the sword formation!"
The Sect Master roared, simultaneously manipulating the array disc to close the Sect-Guarding Grand Array's exit.
"Recall the sword formation?"
The Qingxuan Sect disciples, who had been killing with gusto, were stunned at the order.
But they obeyed, immediately directing the giant sword back through the Sect-Guarding Grand Array's exit.
At that moment, a sudden change occurred!
From the piles of Blood Yin Sect disciple corpses on the ground, endless bloody light erupted.
The bloody light formed an illusory giant hand that reached in through the Sect-Guarding Grand Array's exit.
The hand was as fast as lightning, instantly grabbing a Qingxuan Sect disciple and yanking them out.
This Qingxuan disciple was none other than the Earth-Grade Spirit Root girl, Jiang Rong!
