I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 404: Legend of the Blood Demon

Hearing what Xu Erniu said, Zhang Chen was stunned: Super hemostatic pill?
As if afraid that Zhang Chen didn't understand, Xu Erniu said, "You don't know, in recent years, a terrifying evil demon has appeared at the foot of the mountain, holding a long sword as thin as a cicada's wing in his hand, immortal and reborn by dripping blood, and has killed countless masters. There are masters of the demon clan, and there are masters of my Wuzhuang Temple. I don't know how many creatures have died at his hands! Every time he attacks, there must be a river of blood. Wuzhuang Temple and Taiping Dao have sent masters to strangle this beast many times, but this beast splits into blood shadows and has the ability to be immortal. Not only did it kill the masters who encircled and suppressed it, but it also attacked the two major camps in turn. The demon clan that died under that bloody sword, I'm afraid there are not 300,000 people, and the Wuzhuang Temple's fellow disciples and allies who died under the bloody sword are also countless. That evil demon has mastered the domineering power of blood pollution, which can pollute the earth veins, and specifically pollute the cave paradise of my Wuzhuang Temple. I don't know how many brothers have been controlled by it and become puppets!"

Xu Erniu's voice was filled with horror and fear: "It is said that once you are hit by the blood knife, the lighter ones will bleed profusely, and the heavier ones will be sucked dry of their energy and die instantly. That guy is very evil."

Zhang Chen took a breath when he heard this. From Xu Erniu's summary, he already knew that Xiu Liu had not resisted the temptation after all, and was controlled by the Blood Knife and became a puppet of the Blood-Transforming Divine Knife.

“I wonder how powerful the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword is now?” Zhang Chen felt a little bit expectant. The more powerful the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword was, the greater his chances would be in dealing with the Immortality Thieves in the future.

"What's the situation down the mountain?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The kingdom under the command of Dongxuan Patriarch has been conquered and turned into a demon kingdom by the Taiping Dao. All the islands under the command of the three overseas immortals have also become ruins. The forces under their command have either surrendered or been slaughtered. It can be said that the territories of the great ancestors have all fallen. Now only my Wuzhuang Temple is struggling to support it." Xu Erniu's voice was full of confusion: "I heard that when the kingdoms under the command of the ancestors fell, the ancestors did not show up and let their masters slaughter them. I don't know why the ancestors stood by and watched their own forces destroyed."

Zhang Chen certainly knew the whole story, because all the ancestors had passed away, and only the Changsheng Ancestor was left.

Xu Erniu's doubts are not only Xu Erniu's own doubts, but also the doubts of all the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple and the doubts of the Patriarch Changsheng.

You know, if the ancestors had intervened, the situation would never have deteriorated to this point and become so one-sided.

At this time, the Patriarch Changsheng was standing in the backyard patio, looking at the document sent from the battlefield, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "This shouldn't be! Why haven't Patriarch Xuanji, the Three Overseas Immortals and others shown up yet?"

He couldn't quite believe it. You know, that human kingdom was the foundation of the ancestors, and now it was being completely destroyed by the Taiping Dao. The ancestors didn't even step out to stop it. They watched their hard work go to waste. Isn't it ridiculous?
The most important thing is that even he doesn’t know the whereabouts of the ancestors. It is as if the ancestors have completely disappeared and been wiped out from the world. It seems extremely weird.

"No matter what, you ancestors should not stand idly by and watch the forces under your command be destroyed? Could it be that you ancestors have met with an accident? But there is no master in this world who can take down you ancestors without any noise. Even if that immortal is resurrected, it won't work. Even if the innate peacock recovers to its peak state, there is no way he can take down you ancestors without any noise. So what is the truth of the matter?" The ancestor's eyes were full of confusion. He had already realized that something was wrong. From the appearance of the great formation in Wuzhuang Temple to the mysterious disappearance of the ancestors, watching the forces under their command being destroyed was extremely strange and against common sense, which made him very frightened.

The Grandmaster took a breath and folded the letter in his hand. "There is also the blood demon. It is said that he is a disciple under my Wuzhuang Temple. At first, he was just cruel and violent, but later, he gradually lost control with the killing. He no longer distinguished between camps or enemies and friends, and just killed them all. By the time the disciples down the mountain reacted, it was too late. The blood demon had already become powerful."

The ancestor narrowed his eyes and thought quickly about countermeasures. After a long time, he came up with a plan in his mind: "No matter what conspiracy these people have, I have the Sword of Immortal Execution and a trump card. I am not afraid of any storm. Since those beasts of the demon race want to fight to the death, let's kill them in one battle!"

Patriarch Changsheng knew his strengths and weaknesses. In the past, he had the help of the ancestors, so it was easy for him to suppress the demon forces led by Taiping Dao. Now that he has lost the help of the ancestors, he is tied up and will only be exhausted. In this case, he might as well go straight for it and strike with one blow.

"Qingming!" the ancestor called out.

"Teacher!" Qingming, one of the four major disciples, stepped out from the shadows and bowed respectfully to the Master Changsheng.

"Gather all the forces under my Wuzhuang Guan, abandon all territories, and retreat to the Wuzhuang Guan base camp! Ancestor, I will fight the three demon kings of the demon clan in Wuzhuang Guan, kill them in Wuzhuang Guan, and establish the majesty of my Wuzhuang Guan. Wuzhuang Guan is my territory, and the veins of Qingcheng Mountain have been refined by me. If these beasts have the guts, just come and act recklessly!" The voice of the Patriarch of Longevity was full of coldness.

Hearing this, Qingming hesitated for a moment: "Many junior brothers and sisters have already merged with the earth veins, and I'm afraid they are reluctant to give up their own foundation..." "Wait until I kill those beasts and drive them out, then the whole world will be ours. The territories of the ancestors can be used by them for cultivation at will. What's the big deal about just one or two insignificant earth veins?" The ancestor's voice was full of stern rebukes.

Qingming shrank his neck when he was scolded, knowing that the master had made up his mind, so he did not dare to persuade him anymore. He could only pray secretly for his fellow disciples in his heart, and then hurried down the mountain.

Following an order from the Patriarch of Longevity, the forces under Wuzhuang Temple continued to retreat and gathered towards Wuzhuang Temple, which only brought suffering to the human world.

As time passed, Zhang Chen also realized that the atmosphere in Wuzhuang Temple was not right in recent days. Suddenly, more disciples returned to the mountain, and many unfamiliar faces appeared in the mountain. After careful inquiries, he found out that it was the Patriarch Changsheng who planned to kill all the Taiping Dao masters in his own base camp in Qingcheng Mountain.

Zhang Chen's heart tightened when he heard the rumor: "Oh no! The Xiantian Peacock hasn't come out of retreat yet, and the Changsheng Patriarch is trying to make trouble again. What should I do? If something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will be terrible."

There are still three years left before the minimum ten-year deadline for the innate peacock. What should we do?
He never expected that the situation would become so bad that the Wuzhuang Temple ship was about to capsize.

Zhang Chen sensed something was wrong. If he asked the Taiping Dao master to kill the Patriarch of Longevity, that would be fine. But if he asked the Patriarch of Longevity to kill the three demon kings, then the Patriarch of Longevity would take away their fortune, and with the convergence of destiny, he would surely make another breakthrough.

Zhang Chen has already guessed the plan of the Patriarch of Longevity. Now the Patriarch of Longevity is not far from the disaster. If he can kill the three demon kings, seize the territories of the ten ancestors, and then invade the demon tribe to make them pay tribute and submit, he will gain enormous fortune, and the disaster can be easily broken.

However, Zhang Chen did not know the details of the three demon kings, so it was difficult to determine who would win or lose between the Patriarch of Immortality and the three demon kings.

"If the innate peacock comes out now, and takes advantage of the fight between the two sides to launch a sneak attack, it will definitely be able to directly put an end to the disaster. Regardless of whether the Changsheng Patriarch wins or the three demon kings win, the winner will suffer heavy losses. This is the best time to take advantage of the opportunity to attack." Zhang Chen was a little anxious. The next moment, he used the earth escape technique to come to the Nine Bends Yellow River formation. He looked at the cocoon with colorful light, showing a trace of uneasiness, and cursed:

"Old Peacock, are you capable of doing this? The war in the outside world is about to break out. If you don't come out, when the crisis comes, I will have to take away the Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation and escape, leaving you exposed to the Immortal Patriarch. If you are killed by the Immortal Thief Dao, don't blame me for cheating you."

Upon hearing Zhang Chen's threat, the silk cocoon flashed with colorful light, and no one knew what it meant. Then the silk cocoon fell silent.

Zhang Chen circled around the silk cocoon for several circles, but finally had no choice but to leave the Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation and return to his own small yard to prepare for the next move.

Zhang Chen deduced various ideas in his mind over and over again, and finally set his sights on Xiu Liu: "I wonder what level Xiu Liu has reached now?"

Zhang Chen closed his eyes, sensing the blood-red flowers in the sea of ​​blood that represented Xiu Liu's qi number. Then he saw a pool of lotus flowers blooming in the corner of the sea of ​​blood. Among those lotus flowers, three flowers had twelve grades of bloom. However, those twelve grades of flowers were illusory flowers, very different from the eleventh grade karmic fire red lotus that represented the origin of the sea of ​​blood.

"At this moment, Xiu Liu's energy is strong and he has reached the peak of the twelfth level. He is only a little bit away from the realm of fruit." Zhang Chen looked at the lotus in the pool and said thoughtfully: "If the ancestor kills a demon king, Xiu Liu can devour the demon king's blood and break the shackles, step into the realm of fruit, and become the final person to finish off the enemy. If the ancestor of longevity dies, Xiu Liu can swallow the ancestor of longevity's body and break through the realm of fruit, and can protect me and Xu Erniu to escape."

Zhang Chen sighed softly. Actually, the most ideal plan for him was to find the Emperor's daughter and invite her to come and finish him off. But he had never heard of her before. This made him feel a little strange. How could a person like the Emperor's daughter come to the second level of the spiritual world without a name? This was totally unscientific!
