Chapter 796: Chapter 480: The Fourth Yama of Seven Killings Hall!_2
He was almost molded into a supre talent who dominated an era.
Living in the sa era as him was both a fortune and a sorrow.
Possessing the aptitude of a True Monarch…
What?
Why not have him as the Human Emperor, suppressing all enemies in the world?
It really seems he does not know the saying, “A tree that stands out in the forest is easily broken by the wind.”
He had already attracted so much attention, yet he still acted this way. If Zuo Chengzong, Wei Wuque, and others were in front of him, he really would say to them:
“I truly thank you all!!!”
With such a great reputation, why worry about his enemies not coming to kill him?
Did he really think that the other side would stupidly continue to send small fries to feed his growth?
He looked at the wooden box on his body, which contained a painting, and pondered for a long ti. Perhaps, his uncle’s divination thods were indeed a bit impressive.
In such circumstances, it was impossible for his journey to be safe.
The Japanese, the strong ones from the Gu Family, and even remnants from the forr dynasty could all possibly make a move against him.
Given the situation, he could only set a trap according to his uncle’s plan, luring them to Blood Lake to settle everything once and for all!
Of course, Chen Yuan did not place all his hopes on his uncle’s strategies; his real reliance was actually on the Primordial Spirit of Moluo, which was cultivating inside the Emperor Slaughter Saber.
This was his greatest trump card.
And this, his uncle had no idea about.
When Chen Yuan returned to Jiangdu Prefecture City, the aftermath here had already been completely settled. According to the information he gathered, there were hardly any survivors from Tang Sect, who were being hunted down by the martial artists of Shuzhou.
The benefits had already been completely distributed, including Tang Sect’s properties and the Mountain Gate in Shu Central, which were sold by the Shangguan and Liu families through so ans, gaining a considerable amount of profits.
These benefits were to be shared among the three parties, with none left for the martial artists of Jianghu. They took only so of the floating wealth accumulated by Tang Sect.
Liu Zhenzong and Shangguan Yu each smartly took a quarter, as for the lion’s share, it still went to Chen Yuan, who was not present.
Shangguan Yu acted out of brotherly affection, while Liu Zhenzong truly wanted to deepen his ties with Chen Yuan through this. The vision of these noble families was sharp, and even now, when it could still be considered peaceful, they were already preparing early.
And these were just the not-so-decisive noble families in Jianghu. So, didn’t the Immortal Sects, which have stood unyielding for a thousand years, also see the current situation?
This Chen Yuan did not know, but he felt it likely.
Because, there are no fools in this world.
When you consider others as fools, in their eyes, you are the real fool!
After getting up to speed with so current facts, Chen Yuan set off for Blood Lake. To lure those who harbored malice towards him, Chen Yuan not only concealed his tracks but also deliberately exposed so of them.
Not much, but enough to let people detect that his inevitable destination was Blood Lake!
This ti, he had to embark on a great slaughter again!
Enemies were like leeks, which must be cut periodically, and now, he only hoped that among the enemies, there would be those who could bring him Qi Fortune.
This way, he would enjoy it even more!
En route, Chen Yuan also used so thods to obtain so intelligence about Blood Lake, as a way to preliminarily understand the general situation.
This place was located on the border of Shuzhou and adjacent to Blood State. Nad Blood Lake for its red-tinged waters…
It was usually deserted with few visitors, perhaps because this place was sowhat sinister, rumored to be a land of great misfortune, with ordinary people hardly surviving if they passed through.
As ti passed, the eerie reputation of the place only grew, deterring people even more.
Of course, these were just rumors, not to be trusted.
To obtain more accurate news, Chen Yuan made a special trip to Ascending Immortal Tower on his way, leveraging his privileges to truly understand the situation. Most of those strange tales turned out to be false.
In reality, hundreds of years ago, this place used to be a major Demon Dao sect’s Mountain Gate, but it was destroyed by a powerful figure, physically collapsing the area into a depression.
Later, a river was redirected here, thus converting it into a lake, although it was initially quite small.
Around two hundred years ago, during the coup by the Sima Family, the Southern Border dispatched a royally commissioned army here, which clashed fiercely with an Iron Cavalry of the Sima Family at this location.
Regrettably, it ended with the royal forces being annihilated.
The bloody battles ford by the two armies darkened the skies and enlarged the lake several fold, according to records from Ascending Immortal Tower.
That day, hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought, and the blood shed dyed the lake red.
Latterly, the crimson color of the lake never faded, arousing curiosity for an investigation, only to discover an underground Red Sand Ore Vein at the bottom of the lake.
It was unearthed during the conflict, which continued to tinge it red.
The na Blood Lake primarily ca from this reason, and another small part because the place is indeed sowhat eerie,even a falling leaf quickly sinks.
So martial artists, disbelieving the legends, tried to tread upon the water, only to drown there themselves.
From then on, the tales of Blood Lake’s sinister nature gradually spread.
Overall, there was nothing too extraordinary, and after understanding, Chen Yuan did not delay and kept moving forward while continuing to intentionally reveal so traces.
After many days, Chen Yuan finally crossed half of Shuzhou to reach his destination, Blood Lake!
