Chapter 669 669: The Slaughter Emperor Sect's Foundations

From Bai Youyou's words, Chu Nan learned that currently, within the Slaughter Emperor Sect, there are three major restoration forces.

Once the Zhou Kingdom's royal Liang family, the Jin Kingdom's prominent Bai family, the Qi Kingdom's royal Jiang family...

These are all powerful forces with eightfold heavens experts, forming the core of the Slaughter Emperor Sect, which is also an alliance for restoration, aiming to overthrow the Qin Kingdom and revive their ancestors' glory.

Beneath them, there are other family forces with similar goals, such as the Zhi family, which without eightfold heavens experts within their ranks can only be considered as vassals without decision-making power.

The Bai family, which Bai Youyou belongs to, due to having two eightfold heavens Martial Artists including Bai Youyou, is the second strongest force in the Slaughter Emperor Sect, equaling the Qi Kingdom's royal Jiang family.

The current Supreme Elder of the Liang family, Liang Shuyuan, is a peak expert in the eightfold heavens, occupying the seat of the second Slaying Emperor.

The fourth Slaying Emperor is Bai Youyou, and the third Slaying Emperor is Jiang Yan from the Qi Kingdom's Jiang family.

As for the first Slaying Emperor...

Like Qiu Huang, he is a top-level expert as elusive as a Divine Dragon, a peak figure in the ninefold heavens, not at its pinnacle yet possessing formidable strength.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to rival Qiu Huang's Desolate Ancient Holy Hall in Nanmo Province.

As for the first Slaying Emperor's identity, no one knows, and even his name is unknown.

He is mysterious, powerful, and terrifying, not belonging to any family, but his hatred for the Qin Royal Family is no less than any Martial Artist seeking restoration.

Rumor has it that entering his abode, one can often see the corpses of Qin Royal Family and Strong Race Martial Artists.

The first Slaying Emperor frequently disguises himself to visit the Imperial Capital, each time secretly killing several people before returning satisfied.

Thus, the first Slaying Emperor sits unmistakably on the top seat of the Slaughter Emperor Sect, with his hatred for the Qin Kingdom and ninefold heavens strength, none can shake him.

Chu Nan develops a strong interest in this first Slaying Emperor, who seems even more mysterious than Qiu Huang.

He knows that to take down the Slaughter Emperor Sect, the key lies with this first Slaying Emperor, followed by Liang Shuyuan and Jiang Yan.

Control these top experts, and the rest will naturally be of no concern.

But Chu Nan also hears from Bai Youyou that those family forces aiming to restore and avenge the Qin Kingdom have not only cultivated the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

Even without the Slaughter Emperor Sect, they are formidable entities.

Among them are ninefold heavens cultivators, not many in number, but collectively they present a powerful force not inferior to a Strong Race.

For instance, the Zhou Kingdom's royal Liang family behind Liang Shuyuan is an exceedingly terrifying existence.

One family with two eightfold heavens Martial Artists has a foundation nearing that of a strong family in the Imperial Capital.

Chu Nan's storage bag still contains two Martial Artists from the Liang family, Liang Yu and her bodyguard Zhan Peng.

Due to their special status, Chu Nan keeps them close.

He thinks there may be a time they prove useful, though their low cultivation leaves him unsure of their standing within the Liang family.

Upon gathering information on the Slaughter Emperor Sect, Chu Nan immediately formulates a plan, instructing Bai Youyou to summon a Slaughter Emperor assembly, allowing him to capture them all in one fell swoop.

Bai Youyou, as Chu Nan's servant, considers this a betrayal of her family, but agrees without hesitation and begins to act.

Soon, news arrives that in five days, everyone will gather in Blood Evil City, held by the Slaughter Emperor Sect, to discuss how to expel the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall from Nanmo Province.

Assembling all forces to attack Nanmo Province has been the plan.

Five days is neither long nor short, so Chu Nan immediately prepares to ensure the success of the operation, as failure would mean an unlikely second chance.

Lu Daochang, the Dragon Beast, and Jiang Meier prepare eagerly...

Chu Nan, to enhance strength, even places the Dragon Beast in the True Martial Holy Hall to find suitable inheritance, hoping she can step into the ninefold heavens.

With three ninefold heavens Martial Artists, Chu Nan would dare challenge even the royal Ji family occupying the core of the Celestial Crossing Realm!

Unfortunately, despite the True Martial Holy Hall's powerful resources and countless opportunities, it is designed for Human Race Martial Artists.

Though Chu Nan uses his status as True Martial Holy Hall Master to secure an opportunity for the Dragon Beast, her gains were meager, the trials unmet, she almost perished inside.

If not for Chu Nan's increased cultivation and timely intervention, the Dragon Beast's precious eightfold heavens peak strength would have been drastically reduced.

While the Dragon Beast heals, Chu Nan feels a profound regret.

The difficulty for the Dragon Beast to advance to ninefold heavens presents a significant challenge for Chu Nan, who internally muses, "If I could obtain the final Holy Hall, maybe the Dragon Beast could ascend to ninefold heavens."

The Ancestor Sect has three Heavenly Grade Spirit Martial Holy Halls, Supreme Profound Holy Hall, True Martial Holy Hall, and Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall stores Spirit Martial, the True Martial Holy Hall holds inheritance, while the Supreme Profound Holy Hall is the core, containing numerous Primordial Demon Beasts not found in the Celestial Crossing Realm.

These beasts with ancestral bloodlines have immensely dense bloodline aura, unmatched by anything in the Celestial Crossing Realm.

According to Lu Daochang, the ancestral beasts in the Supreme Profound Holy Hall have bloodlines so dense that it constitutes a tenth of their being!

In the Celestial Crossing Realm, even the bloodline-rich Weeping Blood Mamba absorbed by Chu Nan doesn't achieve this tenth!

The Weeping Blood Mamba essentially migrated from the Heavenly Balance Realm to the Celestial Crossing Realm.

Chu Nan dares not imagine the strength he would gain if his Desolate Profound Transformation absorbed a beast with a tenths of ancestral bloodline.

His combat power would ascend to an unimaginable level.

Yet, Chu Nan can only sigh, daring not hope, for the Supreme Profound Holy Hall is far in the Heavenly Balance Realm.

It is, at the very least, under the control of a Void Realm expert; even after refining two Holy Halls, he wouldn't have a chance to refine the Supreme Profound Holy Hall.

Should Chu Nan visit the Heavenly Balance Realm in the future, he cannot even reveal the two Holy Halls or the Dragon Slaughter Tower he possesses, or even wield the Golden Sun Bloodbath Sword recklessly.

After all, these are bona fide Heavenly and Sacred Grade Spirit Martial artifacts, and his strength is admittedly too weak.

It's like a child parading with golden bricks in a bustling market, and it'd be a miracle not to be targeted.

Chu Nan imagines that once all his treasures are exposed, not only would Loose Cultivators pursue him, but the Ancestor Sect might devise ways to reclaim the True Martial and Desolate Ancient Holy Halls.

For the Ancestor Sect, these are not just symbolic but also formidably foundational.

"The road ahead is not smooth; if I am to venture into the Heavenly Balance Realm, I need to prepare carefully~"
