Chapter 1016 1009: The Turmoil in Blood Evil Sect (Part 1)
Nine Provinces Sacred Domain, Celestial South Domain.
The Nine Provinces Sacred Domain is vast and limitless, with its nine continents being the largest areas, and the branches of the Star Luo Sea's river running through it.
Even a strong practitioner at the Immortal Venerable Realm would take three to five years to traverse any continent within it if not using a Teleportation Array.
On the Nine Provinces Sacred Domain, the trend of Immortal Cultivation is prevalent. Countless cultivators pursue the Peak of the Great Dao, aiming to ascend to the Immortal Realm, forging ahead tirelessly on their path of cultivation.
Therefore, the vast Nine Provinces Sacred Domain is home to numerous cultivation sects and families, and of course, there is a Human Race Dynasty governing one region.
Apart from the Human Race, the Demon Race also competes with them on the Sacred Domain.
The bodies of the Demon Race have materials desired by the Human cultivators, and the Humans possess elixirs coveted by the Demon Race, making slaughter between the two inevitable.
Apart from the powerful Human and Demon races, there are the Sea Race occupying a large part of the Star Luo Sea, making these three races the most dominant in the Nine Provinces Sacred Domain.
The Celestial South Domain is located at the southern end of the Nine Provinces Sacred Domain, while the Nanqi Plain is precisely within the Celestial South Domain.
However, compared to the vastness of the Celestial South Domain, the Nanqi Plain is quite inconspicuous, being rather desolate with not much cultivation resources.
Beyond the Nanqi Plain, lush mountain ranges rise, and there are quite a few human cities.
At the northern part of the Nanqi Plain, lies Blood Maple Mountain.
Blood Maple Mountain is close to the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, with dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. On the peaks, large Blood Maple Spirit Trees beneficial for Blood Cultivation have been planted.
This is precisely the location of the Blood Evil Sect.
As a medium-sized sect, the Blood Evil Sect has several Immortal Venerable Realm experts overseeing it, wielding power in one area, with many small and medium forces and cultivation families dependent on it.
At this moment, inside the Blood Evil Sect.
Within a palace, two miscellaneous disciples were sitting somewhat bored inside the palace, browsing a Magic Jade Slip.
This is the Blood Evil Sect's Jade Token Hall.
Inside the Jade Token Hall, rows of jade tokens emitting a faint blue glow were neatly arranged, numbering over a hundred.
These jade tokens are lifebound jade tokens belonging to the sect's core disciples and elders.
The two disciples guarding the Jade Token Hall are the lowest-level miscellaneous disciples in the sect, with strength only at Intermediate Immortal Warrior.
Limited in strength, hunting Demon Beasts is quite challenging, so the tasks they can take are limited. Guarding the Jade Token Hall can earn very few contribution points, but at least there's no risk involved, and generally, incidents in the Jade Token Hall are not particularly frequent.
After all, those listed here are core disciples and elders of the sect, and the chances of them perishing aren't that high.
Therefore, the miscellaneous disciples on duty here can also take the time to study the Magic Jade Slip.
This day, as these two miscellaneous disciples were in the Jade Token Hall, browsing the Magic Jade Slip they borrowed.
Crack~!
A clear sound suddenly rang out, the sound of a jade token developing cracks.
As the disciples serving in the Miscellaneous Task Hall, they know this sound all too well; it's the sound of a jade token about to shatter.
Hence, the somewhat bored two of them immediately stood up, looking towards the place where those jade tokens are displayed in the hall.
Their gazes swept over the rows of jade tokens.
Crack!
Just now that clear sound of jade breaking completely propagated at this moment.
In the hall displaying over a hundred jade tokens, one jade token completely shattered.
Seeing the jade token hanging high up that shattered, their pupils instantly filled with shock, as if witnessing something unbelievable.
"Huang Song, it's... Ling Yun senior brother's jade token!"
One miscellaneous disciple exclaimed in shock to the other.
"It's Ling Yun senior brother's lifebound jade token that's shattered."
The miscellaneous disciple named Huang Song widened his eyes, his face also filled with shock.
Ling Yun senior brother is one of the top three genius disciples within the Blood Evil Sect, and a genius disciple the sect focuses on cultivating, having reached Late Stage Immortal Spirit Realm Peak, likely to step into the Immortal Venerable Realm in recent years.
His lifebound jade token actually... shattered?!
The shattering of a lifebound jade token undoubtedly means the cultivator has perished, and Ling Yun senior brother unexpectedly perished?!
Who killed him, who dared kill a genius disciple the Blood Evil Sect focuses on cultivating?! This equates to being an enemy of the Blood Evil Sect.
Yet, before the two miscellaneous disciples could recover from their shocked and bewildered expressions.
Crack, crack!
Immediately afterwards, two more sounds of jade breaking rang out.
The two were jolted, two more core disciples had perished, and at once, they looked towards those two lifebound jade tokens.
Those two lifebound jade tokens were positioned in the row below Ling Yun's jade token, also genius disciples ranked among the top in the sect.
"It's Hou Tong senior brother and Zhao Feng senior brother's lifebound jade tokens!"
When the two saw those two jade tokens, their faces became even more horrified, exclaiming in unison.
"The two senior brothers have also perished?!"
The miscellaneous disciple Huang Song exclaimed in shock.
However, upon further thought, it was highly possible. Usually, senior brothers Hou Tong and Zhao Feng were close to senior brother Ling Yun, following his lead, and the three often performed tasks together.
What kind of person, or what kind of danger did senior brother Ling Yun and the three encounter, that they all perished?!
"Huang Song, report to the sect immediately, especially to the Second Elder!"
The other miscellaneous disciple said to the disciple named Huang Song.
Senior brother Ling Yun was the direct disciple of the Second Elder, also his most prized disciple, usually regarded as his own. Now with his death, one can imagine the Second Elder's wrath.
At once, the two miscellaneous disciples exited the Miscellaneous Task Hall, one heading towards the main hall within the Blood Evil Sect, while Huang Song had no choice but to head towards the courtyard where the Second Elder resided.
If it were good news it'd be fine, but informing such earth-shattering news, one can imagine what kind of storm he'll face, and whether the Second Elder would break his head.
However, such news is something neither of them dare to conceal, reporting it to the sect immediately is the right thing.
Within the Blood Evil Sect, atop the mountain peak, within a tranquil courtyard planted with various Spirit Grass for Blood Cultivation.
Huang Song swallowed a mouthful, then trembling slightly, knocked on the wooden door.
At this moment, inside the courtyard, a wizened elder was tending to flowers and plants. His face looked as if sculpted with a chisel, a faint blood-colored pattern at his brow, exuding a deep aura unconsciously.
"Enter."
Upon hearing the knock, the wizened elder didn't even lift his head, directly said.
Usually, very few visit his courtyard unless it's extremely important, otherwise generally no disciple would dare disturb him.
Huang Song took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and pushed open the wooden door.
