Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation

Chapter 328

He knew that Wang Yu had been active in Jade Spirit for many years and had mastered many knowledgeable secrets of Eastern Extreme Capital. He had even cultivated a killing path divine ability, displaying it to the fullest while playing a strategic game with Lu Chenzhou.

Zhuo Shouyun tried to simulate Wang Yu’s way of thinking and then set up this relatively reasonable trap. With the other party’s intelligence, he should be able to deduce quite a bit of the truth.

He had no time to waste too much effort on Wang Yu.

Since he failed to kill him outside, he could only behead him within the Blood Abyss. As for Fu Xiao’s opportunity, compared to the help Wang Yu had given Zhuo Shouqing.

It was nothing.

It was not his Nascent Soul opportunity anyway, so there was no need to put this matter first in everything.

Zhuo Shouyun openly reached his hand into Ding Xiang’s clothes and kneaded wantonly, murmuring in his heart.

“Judging by the time, Zhuo Shouqing should be stepping into the trap I prepared for him by now. Brothers turning on each other. It is not me against you, it is you against those two wastes.”

At this moment.

With one hand he kneaded softly, and with the other he handled the Rakshasa Heavenly Demon Bell in its shrunken form. Even now, he was not confident that he could refine it after awakening it. The risks he had spoken of to Wang Yu through Ding Ming’s mouth.Were real.

This was the special nature of a mind path spirit treasure. Its spirituality surpassed other magic treasures of the same rank, not to mention that it was fused with the profundities of the soul path.

Even if this treasure were to give birth to a soul of its own, he would not be surprised.

Even after breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, it would still be very difficult to refine it. He planned to wait until the dispute with Zhuo Shouqing was settled, then seek help from the Ancestor Liezu of the Zhuo clan.

When the time came.

Even if it was the publicly acknowledged number one genius of the Zhuo clan, the Qilin Child.

He was confident he could contend with him.

…

…

Outside the Blood Abyss.

Just after this batch of participants had all entered, a conflict led by Zhuo Shouqing began.

“Uncle Huang, you are responsible for dealing with Fu Xiao. Follow the main force and participate in the frontal assault. Yu Xing and Old Ming will set traps in the rear. We must crush them in one strike.”

As the peak combat power on Zhuo Shouqing’s side, Huang Jiu had reached the Pseudo Nascent Soul realm and could be called the strongest below Nascent Soul. The premise for his help was Zuo Qiuming’s request.

That is right.

Zhuo Shouqing did not intend to follow the rules. Since the other side could gather scions of power and influence to pressure him, why could he not borrow the momentum of sworn brothers.

Taking advantage of Zhuo Shouyun’s absence, he would kill all the people the other party had left behind. Even if Wang Yu’s actions inside the Blood Abyss Sacred Land did not go smoothly.

He was still confident that he could surround and kill him once he came out.

Not following the rules was practically a traditional skill. He had already thought up the justification. One person once each. Very fair. Presumably the Ancestor Liezu would have nothing to say about it.

He had long since clarified the positions of the other side’s manpower. They were outside the sect gates of the Exalted Sect, in a city called Cloud Ascension City, which Zhuo Shouyun had managed for nearly a hundred years.

The plans for countering formations and the methods for dealing with large numbers of cultivators had all been prepared. Only in terms of high end combat power had he always been at a disadvantage.

Huang Jiu could not help but say.

“Focus on killing Fu Xiao. Should that not be left to young friend Wang Yu to handle? There is only him outside. Inside the Blood Abyss there are still two troublesome figures.”

Zhuo Shouqing nodded decisively.

“Make killing the primary objective. At a time like this, there is no way to consider Wang Yu’s opportunities. He should be able to obtain the Blood Infant Fruit.”

After these words were spoken, Huang Jiu did not believe them.

Because of the contract, most of Wang Yu’s energy had to be spent on figuring out how to reduce Zhuo Shouyun’s team. How could he still have the energy to scheme for the Blood Infant Fruit.

This was a lie.

However, Huang Jiu only stopped at that point and said nothing more. He went down to arrange the manpower, ready at any time to launch a general assault on Cloud Ascension City.

Before long, Zhuo Yuanshen appeared beside Zhuo Shouqing.

He said meaningfully, “Young Master Qing, are you really going to fight him to the death. Once the war begins, there will be no turning back.”

“I have long since had no road of retreat.”

Zhuo Yuanshen still did not know that he had lost trust. Zhuo Shouqing was also in need of people and did not investigate him, the intelligence chief, choosing to postpone it for the time being.

No matter what, cutting off the enemy’s wings was the highest priority.

“Yuanshen, you also lead a team to feint attack Cloud Ascension City from the flank and create an opportunity for Uncle Huang.”

“Alright.”

At this moment.

Outside Cloud Ascension City, within a hidden forest, under the concealment of special magic treasures, dense figures stood in silent stillness, all uniformly dressed in black clothes and masks.

In total there were over a hundred people, all Core Formation cultivators.

But seventy percent were heterodox Golden Cores, merely at the early Core Formation stage. Their cultivation would find it difficult to advance any further in this lifetime. They were the death soldiers Zhuo Shouqing had trained over the years.

There were also some grassroots geniuses who led people to blockade Cloud Ascension City from the rear.

Among them was Fu Xiao, who had not long returned from Vermilion Bird Divine Mountain.

The situation was on the verge of exploding.

On the left wing of the interception force, Yu Xing held a fourth rank low grade talisman treasure with a grave expression. This was a life saving item his father had given him. There was only this single piece, and he was already fully prepared to use it.

But at this moment, a black dot suddenly flew over from the distance.

He raised his hand to soothe the slightly restless troops and recognized the aura of that figure.

It was his elder sister, Yu Shuying.

Seeing the figure land, Yu Xing asked in confusion.

“Sister, why are you here.”

Yu Shuying looked even younger than Yu Xing. Beneath her slender brows were a pair of eyes that carried authority even without anger.

Her delicate and beautiful face was filled with exhaustion.

“Yu Xing, come with me. You cannot get involved in this matter.”

“Why.”

Yu Xing did not shout or lose control as his sister had expected, but calmly asked for the reason.

“If you are only worried that Second Brother is violating the rules set down by his Ancestor Liezu, there is no need for this. The first to break the rules was Zhuo Shouyun.”

Yu Shuying glanced at the people around them. Her long legs lightly stepped forward, and three formation markings formed a soundproof barrier, enclosing the two of them. Only then did she speak.

“Do you remember what I told you some time ago, when you were cultivating with me.”

Yu Xing was stunned.

“The Earth Emperor Sacred Blood. The legendary sacred object that can grant a person a Heaven Earth Spiritual Root. Did you not say that I was not worthy of it.”

“There is now news of this item. It is in the Ancient Desolate Plains. The information was passed along by fellow cultivators of the Zhuo clan.”

Yu Xing immediately understood.

What Yu Shuying had said back then was merely to avoid giving him too much hope. If she truly did not want him to recover, she would not have personally supervised his cultivation.

“Zhuo Shouyun’s information. Can he be trusted.”

“I have verified it. Eight or nine chances out of ten it is true. His condition is that all your forces withdraw and that you do not help Zhuo Shouqing.”

“I…”

He wanted to refute it. Did Zhuo Shouyun truly not desire such a heaven defying sacred object that could change one’s fate. The truth was that he did not. The thing others coveted was the Blood Demon Body.

Moreover, the Ancient Desolate Plains were extremely dangerous. Merely providing such information was already a tremendous show of sincerity. To truly obtain it would require far greater effort.

“I…”

Seeing her brother hesitate, Yu Shuying let out a long sigh.

“Yu Xing, do you not want to achieve Immortality. This time, Father will personally make a move and take you there.”

“I… I understand.”

Yu Xing’s face flushed red. He wanted to notify Zhuo Shouqing, but his sister stopped him with a single glance.

He could only speak in a voice as faint as a mosquito.

Toward the distant direction.

“I am sorry.”

As if doing so could lessen the shame of betraying a brother. When the soundproof barrier dissipated, two thirds of those present followed the two of them and left.

Only a handful remained behind, completely confused.

“Young Master Yu Xing, where are you going.”

Yu Shuying turned back and smiled.

“You continue guarding this place. We will go make some arrangements elsewhere and return shortly.”

“Under…stood.”

That man sensed that something was wrong and took out a transmission jade talisman to contact Zhuo Shouqing, only to discover that the communication artifact could not be used, as if it were blocked.

This meant that fighting had already broken out on the main battlefield. This was a method Zhuo Shouqing had prepared in advance.

His expression immediately grew solemn.

“All of you prepare yourselves. Xiao Wu, you are fast. Circle around to the rear and report the situation here to Young Master Qing.”

“Yes.”

The task of intercepting the right wing of the team was naturally handled by Zuo Qiuming.

He was currently being forcibly restrained by several people. His pitiful mid stage Foundation Establishment true essence and divine sense could not leave his body at all. He had been sealed.

“You. What exactly are you trying to do.

Have you gone mad.”

The Zuoqiu clan Core Formation cultivator who was in overall command of the team was wearing an excited expression as he directed the elite members of the Zuoqiu clan to slaughter everyone Zhuo Shouqing had sent over.

With their superior numbers and cultivation, and under a sudden ambush that caught the enemy off guard, they formed an overwhelming local three to one advantage.

In just a dozen breaths, all of Zhuo Shouqing’s people were wiped out. Blood soaked the mountain forest, and they failed to stir up even the slightest ripple.

It was like slaughtering chickens and butchering fish. Years of effort vanished in an instant.

This was all the foundation he had accumulated over the years while mingling daily with Zhuo Shouqing at the Azure Concubine Pavilion. How could Zuo Qiuming not be enraged at such a sight.

Veins bulged on his forehead as he roared himself hoarse.

“Zuoqiu Yang, what the hell are you doing.”

“I will kill you. Aah.”

Zuoqiu Yang shook the blood from his sword blade and said righteously.

“Young Master Ming, I am following the master’s orders and helping you make the correct choice.”

“My father.”

Zuo Qiuming had thought this man had betrayed him and was following Zhuo Shouyun’s orders. He never expected it to be his father’s command.

Ever since the Blood Spring Evil Method failed to reconstruct his spirit roots, he had never seen his father again. Only his mother visited him often.

“What does this mean. Explain it clearly.”

“Young Master Yun has found a method to help you make up for your spirit root defect, but at most it can only be restored to the level of a high grade spirit root, that is, the level of dual spirit roots.

“Half a month ago, Young Master Yun approached the master, and the master agreed on your behalf.

“This method requires paying an enormous price, and you are the master’s legitimate son, his only seed. Return first. The master will explain everything to you personally.”

Rage surged in Zuo Qiuming’s heart.

“I am not going. Zuoqiu Yang, I will give you one last chance. Release me. Otherwise, I will make sure you die without a burial.”

Zuoqiu Yang shrugged indifferently.

“I already guessed that Young Master would not leave. Someone as emotional as you is extremely rare even on the Taihu side. If you wish to kill Yang, do so after you recover.”

Words aside, he was currently carrying out his father’s orders.

How could he possibly die.

After speaking, he said no more, gestured to the others, and prepared to forcibly bind him and take him back to the Xianyin clan lands.

“Zuoqiu Yang! Zuoqiu Yang!”

A bit of noise could not affect anything.

This too was genuine feeling.
