The suddenly-appeared Elder from the Blood River Sect, it seed, was not allied with the Great Demon.
Watching the intense battle in the distance, Lei Jun had a basic grasp of the situation.
To the east, in the Yuxiu Mountain range, was Supre Elder Li Song from the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master’s Mansion.
To the north, in the direction of the Longqing River, was the Elder from the Blood River Sect.
Previously, in the mountainous area where Lei Jun had been, a Great Demon had suddenly burst forth from underground.
Finally, to the west, was Elder Tian from Yintuo Mountain.
Lei Jun ntally reviewed the information he had on Yintuo Mountain.
An Elder Tian of the Upper Three Realms was most likely an Yintuo Mountain Elder nad Tian Linlong.
Six years ago, during the battle where the previous Celestial Master, Li Qingfeng, fell, a Worm Master from the Southern Wilderness had seized the opportunity to cause trouble for Tang Xiaotang. Their leader was none other than Tian Linlong. He had been defeated by Tang Xiaotang back then, and several of his accompanying disciples had also perished. Now, Tian Linlong had secretly journeyed north once more, rushing to this location. If he had also co for Tang Xiaotang, how did he know her approximate whereabouts in this region?
Lei Jun began to speculate.
Tian Linlong must have been lured here by Li Song, or more likely, by Li Ziyang. They likely invited Tian Linlong for two reasons: firstly, as an accomplice against Tang Xiaotang, and secondly... as a potential scapegoat after they succeeded. The Li Clan intended to make a move but also wanted a way to conceal their involvent afterward. Tian Linlong was a fitting choice for this. However, the Blood River Sect was likely an unforeseen complication. Tian Linlong, seeking revenge on Tang Xiaotang, had secretly traveled north. But he had attracted the attention of a Blood River Sect expert, who then discreetly followed him here with disciples. However, after montarily losing Tian Linlong, the Blood River Sect mbers had split up to search, arranging to rendezvous on the northern banks of the Longqing River. As for the Great Demon, its appearance might have been a complete accident. But this accident had played a cruel joke on the Li Clan.
Supre Elder Li Song, gazing at the giant serpent that had suddenly erupted from beneath the mountains, was overco with shock and rage. Not only had it ruined their grand plan, but it had also swallowed Li Zhusheng and the others whole.
Only Liang Chen had avoided being devoured by the serpent. Strictly speaking, only half of him remained. Liang Chen lay among the rocks, breathing feebly; everything below his waist was gone, leaving only a pool of his blood on the ground.
And just as Li Song struck the giant serpent with a thunderbolt, a streak of blood light flashed past, obliterating the remaining half of Liang Chen’s body.
"Don’t let it go to waste!" A strange cackle echoed from the north, accompanied by a blood-red light that pierced the sky.
Simultaneously, a vast Blood Sea materialized, blanketing the northern sky and rapidly surging towards Li Song.
Although this Blood River Sect Elder was curious about Tian Linlong’s purpose, the opportunity to hunt an Eighth Heavenly Layer expert was a surefire gain for him, greatly benefiting his cultivation of the Blood River School of Dharma.
Li Song’s Yang Thunder Dragon pounced on the giant serpent, while starlight twinkled around his own body. Each point of starlight was a flickering Talisman. Under the stars’ blessing, he began to glow, as if transforming into a giant, living Talisman. This was another top-tier Divine Skill from the Celestial Master Mansion’s direct lineage: the Destiny Star God.
At that mont, Li Song’s aged body seed to grow imnsely tall. He plunged into the Blood Sea without fear, forcibly tearing apart the surging crimson tide.
Elder Tian Linlong of Yintuo Mountain, positioned to the west, had initially intended to bide his ti and wait for an opportunity. However, as the giant serpent battled the Yang Thunder Dragon, a flick of its tail shook the earth and mountains. This tremor inadvertently exposed Elder Tian Linlong, forcing him to defend himself.
The four powerhouses were instantly thrown into a chaotic lee.
Supre Elder Li Song had yet to even glimpse Tang Xiaotang, yet he had already lost several of his juniors and found himself in a dire predicant. This infuriated him to no end. But he no longer had the luxury of searching for Tang Xiaotang.
It was true that Li Song was a venerable Elder of the Taoist Talisman Sect at the Eighth Heavenly Layer. However, none of today’s combatants were weak.
The giant serpent, possessing the bloodline of the ancient Ferocious Beast, the Ba Serpent, was incredibly savage. On its own, it was equivalent to a Human Race expert of the Eighth Heavenly Layer.
And the Blood River Sect Elder, who Li Song recalled being only at the Seventh Layer of Heaven Realm, now displayed power far exceeding those recollections. It appeared that the nurous conflicts in recent years had allowed the Blood River Sect to secretly amass strength. The experts of the Witchcraft Sect’s Blood River Lineage had all made significant progress.
Tian Linlong, at the Seventh Heavenly Layer, was the weakest of the three humans and one demon present. However, his Witchcraft Gu Techniques were exceptionally strange and unpredictable. With the other three powerhouses preoccupied, they still had to be wary of Tian Linlong’s Witchcraft Worms. Moreover, Li Song had the distinct impression that Tian Linlong had other trump cards.
Whether Tang Xiaotang was currently in deep closed-door cultivation was sothing Tian Linlong couldn’t be sure of. Having co north under such circumstances, how could he possibly be unprepared?
The four powerhouses engaged in a ferocious battle, their conflict tearing through mountains, soaring into the sky, and plunging underground, shattering the landscape in monts.
Lei Jun and the others, watching from afar, felt their hearts pound with alarm.
"Sothing feels off," the Blood River Sect woman, clad in Southern Wilderness attire, suddenly remarked.
She scanned her surroundings, her eyes flashing blood-red, and quickly noticed the leaking Pure Yang Qi. "No wonder it’s so unsettling!" she exclaid.
The heritage of the Witchcraft Sect’s Blood River Lineage followed a path of yin and cold, frequently encountering Demonic Qi and Evil Miasma. For them, Pure Yang Qi was not only unbeneficial but actively repulsive.
"Could there be a Pure Yang Treasure buried here, attracting so many experts to this vicinity?" one of the Blood River Sect disciples conjectured.
The woman snorted. "How unlucky!"
Another man, evidently a leader, said, "Let’s find it and retrieve it."
