Chapter 422: Blood Demon Art

As cup after cup of spiritual wine was downed by the young girl…

The time for Lin Xun to offer his toast was drawing closer and closer.

However, Lin Xun still hadn’t figured out exactly what the people from the Blood Blade Hall were trying to do.

His Junior Sister was extremely cautious.

Never mind an enemy offering her a toast…

Even if it were one of their own, his Junior Sister would be incredibly careful.

How could she possibly be poisoned?

Furthermore…

Junior Sister had already reached the Jade Purity Realm.

How could someone in such a Realm be poisoned?

The reason the Poison Sect was only a mid-tier Sect and could never compare to first-rate Sects…

The biggest reason was that the vast majority of the Poison Sect’s poisons were almost ineffective against Cultivators of the Upper Five Realms.

Those poisons that were effective would definitely be detected; it was impossible for them to be colorless and odorless.

Moreover, their effects were extremely limited.

The people from the Blood Blade Hall certainly knew all of this as well.

If that was the case, what exactly were they trying to do?

As Lin Xun pondered, it soon became the turn of his group of three to offer their toast.

Just as the three of them stepped onto the stairs…

Suddenly, Lin Xun saw the three people in front of them abruptly freeze in place!

Immediately after, their bodies began to expand!

At the same time, the spiritual wine that had been sprinkled with poisonous powder suddenly erupted like sludge, tightly enveloping them!

“Roar!”

The two Cultivators who had come with Lin Xun both transformed into giant black mud monsters, letting out agonizing roars!

This roar acted like a bugle call, awakening one monster after another hidden within the bodies of the Cultivators on the field!

Strange and disgusting blood-mud monsters appeared one by one! And because they were all accompanying the Saintess for the sacrifice…

These monsters were very close to Su Ying!

“Blood Demon Art?”

Lin Xun finally reacted completely.

The Blood Demon Forbidden Technique was an untouchable forbidden Technique of the Blood Demon Hall.

In fact, the name of the ‘Blood Demon Hall’ itself came from the ‘Blood Demon Art’.

The Ten Thousand Demon Sect had a very strange rule.

That is, the Saints and Saintesses of every generation, as well as the Hall Master of the Blood Demon Hall, must learn this forbidden Technique!

But!

Whether it was the Saint, the Saintess, or the Hall Master of the Blood Demon Hall, none of them were allowed to use this forbidden Technique!

Otherwise, it would be treated as ‘betraying the Sect’!

No matter who it was, they would be relentlessly hunted by the Sect until their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, unable to achieve Reincarnation.

The reason Lin Xun was fine after taking that pill was because his Realm was too high.

That pill was a prerequisite for the Blood Demon Forbidden Technique, but to Lin Xun, it was nothing more than a snack.

Since the prerequisite for activation didn’t even exist, Lin Xun naturally wouldn’t fall for it.

As for why Lin Xun hadn’t noticed this Technique, it was because it had been split into two parts; Lin Xun really hadn’t expected such a method.

When Lin Xun learned it back then, this aspect wasn’t included at all.

This was definitely an innovative use of the Blood Demon Art.

Furthermore, Lin Xun couldn’t understand how the Blood Demon Hall could have such audacity!

They actually dared to use the Blood Demon Art.

One must know that even when the Ten Thousand Demon Sect was in dire straits and nearly wiped out, this Spell had never been activated.

“Hahaha! This is the Blood Demon Art! This is the Blood Demon Art!”

Watching the monsters appear one by one, the Hall Master of the Blood Demon Hall opened his arms, trembling incessantly as if he had gone mad.

Looking at the state of the Blood Demon Hall Master, Lin Xun more or less understood what was going on.

As expected.

No matter the era, beings like ‘mad scientists’ always existed.

The Blood Demon Hall Master had always enjoyed researching Techniques.

And the Blood Demon Art, a strictly Sealed forbidden Technique, was naturally the subject of the Blood Demon Hall Master’s research.

Once research reaches a certain level…

For this kind of ‘mad scientist’, they would want to put their research results into action and even achieve the best possible effect.

“Technique Second Phase.”

The Blood Demon Hall Master pointed tremblingly at Su Ying, who stood beneath the stone statue, as beautiful as a celestial maiden.

In the eyes of the Blood Demon Hall Master, there was no desire for power or beauty.

There was only a craving for the success of his experiment.

“Go! Kill her!”

The Blood Demon Hall Master commanded in an obscure language.

“Roar!”

One blood-colored Demonic Beast after another sprinted toward Su Ying; they would tear apart anyone who tried to stop them.

The scene fell into utter chaos.

The rebel alliance, including the Blood Blade Hall, and Su Ying’s supporters engaged in a full-scale battle!

Some mountain halls that didn’t want to get involved in this turmoil tried to leave; these were the neutral faction.

But the problem was, when a Sect is in internal strife, where can a neutral faction exist?

They were now faced with a choice!

Either join the rebellion…

Or join the Saintess’s side!

Otherwise, no matter which side achieved the final victory…

These so-called neutral Cultivators would eventually be purged.

No one can easily enjoy the fruits of victory.

One must eventually pay a price!

In this chaotic scene, no one noticed…

Lin Xun, who was also supposed to turn into a Blood Demon, was still blending into the crowd.

“Zhao Qian, you have broken the rules.”

Su Ying’s Death Warriors and the Death Warriors belonging to Lin Xun all appeared, shielding Su Ying.

These forces, which had existed since the founding of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, were the greatest trump cards in Su Ying’s hand.

As long as they were there, no matter what, even if the Ten Thousand Demon Sect fell, Su Ying’s life would be preserved.

“Your Highness Saintess, my apologies!”

Zhao Qian was the true name of the Blood Demon Hall Master.

“You are not a man who covets power or wealth,” Su Ying sighed with regret. “Tell me, what conditions did they offer you?”

Zhao Qian shook his head. “Conditions that Your Highness and the Saint could never provide.”

“They promised that if the rebellion succeeds, they will let you openly conduct experiments on the Blood Demon Forbidden Technique?”

“Yes.”

Zhao Qian grinned.

“Your Highness! You do not understand the beauty of the Blood Demon Art! It is the most beautiful Technique in the world! Zhao admires you and His Highness the Saint. If Your Highness were to allow me to conduct any experiment with the Blood Demon Art, I, Zhao, would certainly side with you!”

Zhao Qian grinned.

“That is impossible.”

Su Ying said regretfully—not because she couldn’t recruit him, but because he had violated the Sect rules and was ultimately going to die.

“I will not let you act recklessly.”

“Then that is truly a pity. Your Highness, my apologies.”

Zhao Qian sighed softly.

“Roar!!!”

A massive Blood-colored Bone Dragon had crawled onto a nearby hilltop at some unknown time.

The Bone Dragon was a Strange Dragon, also known as a giant lizard with wings.

The Strange Dragon pounced straight down.

Even the rebels knew they couldn’t kill Su Ying while she was protected by these Death Warriors.

But they didn’t need to kill her.

As long as Su Ying left the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, and the forces supporting her were wiped out…

Then everything would be over.

Therefore, the Strange Dragon’s goal was to kill as many of Su Ying’s people as possible.

But just then…

The mountains and rivers shook as a massive Magic Formation was activated.
