Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 243 Blood Sacrifice to the Demon God (Please Subscribe)
Only two people remained at the entrance to the Azure Spirit Secret Realm.

The two most powerful people in Weiwu County were also old friends who had known each other for many years.

The head of the Guan family and the head of the Zeng family.

Both of them were born and raised in Weiwu County. From their youth to the present, they have been active in Weiwu County and often visit each other. They can definitely be considered old friends.

Their relationship seemed to be very good.

covert struggles are inevitable.

Open conflict is rare.

All major events in Weiwu County were handled through consultation between the two of them.

Logically speaking, the two people know each other well and should not be at odds.

But just a few breaths ago...

The two closed their eyes and sat in meditation to rest.

The head of the Guan family suddenly opened his eyes, holding something in his hand, and pointed it at the head of the Zeng family.

A cold light suddenly appeared!

A streak of blood-red sword, like a cold, venomous snake, shot towards the Zeng family head's brow with lightning speed.

That was precisely where the Zeng family's main cultivation technique's vital point was located.

at the same time.

The Zeng family head shook his head slightly.

"Dang!"

The narrow, slender blood sword struck a silver mirror, causing the mirror to slightly dent. After a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy, the energy returned to calm.

The silver mirror appeared instantly.

"Zeng Kuozong, I knew it! You've always been wary of me!"

The Guan family head's sneak attack failed, his face darkened, and he shouted a question.

"Guan Dingren, you still can't hold your temper!"

The head of the Zeng family suddenly stood up and said in a calm and matter-of-fact tone.

"You've been colluding with the Blood Spirit Sect, plotting to monopolize Weiwu County. Do you really think I don't know?"

"Did those demonic cultivators tell you that?"

The head of the Guan family looked at the head of the Zeng family with a wary expression.

"Or has a traitor appeared in my Guan family?"

The Zeng family head laughed: "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Instead of practicing spiritual cultivation properly, you insist on becoming a dog for the Demonic Sect."

"Guan Dingren, your brain has never worked properly!"

The head of the Guan family, enraged and humiliated, retorted: "Zeng Kuozong, what do you know?!"

"What is the Tao? What is the Demon? Is there a difference?"

"It's all for their own benefit! The Demonic Sect in Liang Kingdom has grown too powerful. Our Song Kingdom's seven major sects have so many Nascent Soul True Monarchs, why don't we go to Liang Kingdom to eradicate the Demonic Sect and slay the demons?"

"The Azure Water Sect only cares about its own direct descendants and has long abandoned us. Zeng Kuang, take my advice, brother, and join the Blood Spirit Sect together."

"The Zeng family is still able to preserve its bloodline and descendants. Otherwise, the disaster of extermination is imminent!"

"no!"

The head of the Zeng family answered without hesitation.

Patriarch Guan asked, "Is it because of your loyalty to the Azure Water Sect?"

"No. It's because you have absolutely no chance of winning!"

The Zeng family head said, "Guan Dingren, you've always thought of yourself as a smart man. At least, smarter than me."

"Actually, you're just an idiot!"

"To be frank, we've known each other for a century. Your Guan family has such strong inherent advantages, yet you've never been able to suppress our Zeng family."

"It's not because our Zeng family is so outstanding. It's because your Guan family is too domineering and has an ugly way of doing things. You've never understood what cooperation and win-win situations mean!"

"There's nothing wrong with your Guan family wanting to pledge allegiance to the Blood Spirit Sect."

"But you actually used the Mighty County as a bargaining chip to offer it to the Blood Spirit Sect as a blood sacrifice to the Demon God."

"Do you know how badly the Blood Spirit Sect has ravaged the cultivators and mortals of Weiwu County! How many of them will survive!"

The head of the Guan family looked ashen: "Zeng Kuozong, do you really want to fight the Guan family to the death?"

"Do you really think I don't know about your secret alliance with the Hehuan Sect?"

The Zeng family head smiled: "Our Zeng family has never formed an alliance with the Hehuan Sect."

"None of the demonic cultivators and tribulation cultivators who entered the Azure Spirit Secret Realm survived. Because they did not know what kind of opponent they were about to face!"

"Guan Dingren, do you really think these demonic cultivators can open a passage to the demon realm and summon a demon god within the Azure Spirit Secret Realm?"

The head of the Guan family's pupils constricted.

"Impossible! Of the cultivators who entered the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, only the Thousand Bamboo Hermit of the Lin family and Qi Wanqing of the Qi family have any real strength. Apart from them, they are all rogue cultivators in the early stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm, good-for-nothings, and none of them are their match!"

"That's right. The demonic cultivator from the Hehuan Sect that you colluded with is quite powerful, but she is ultimately a woman."

"Besides, the Hehuan Sect might not be trustworthy!"

The Zeng family head sighed and said, "So, Guan Dingren, why are you in such a hurry?"

"In the Weiwu County and the Qingling Secret Realm, people are fighting to the death, and the outcome is still uncertain."

"Why rush things between us? Even if a battle is decided, will it affect the overall situation?"

As he spoke, the Zeng family head slowly summoned his flying sword magic weapon and pointed it at the Guan family head.

"Guan Dingren, you must fight! I, Zeng Kuozong, will take your place!"

The head of the Guan family stared intently at the head of the Zeng family, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

He simply couldn't understand where Zeng Kuozong got his confidence from.

Just who is it that can turn the tide in Weiwu County and Qingling Secret Realm?

Qianzhu Jushi, who comes from the Xuanzhu Sect?

Or is it the mysterious Qi Wanqing from the Qi family?

Or perhaps, that female demonic cultivator from the Joyful Union Sect?
Patriarch Guan truly didn't know whether Patriarch Zeng was genuinely confident or just putting on a brave face.

However, the Zeng family head was right about one thing.

The outcome of their match will not affect the overall situation, so there is no need to rush into it.

……

Shen Xuan and his two companions fought their way through thorns and brambles, killing five second-tier demonic beasts that blocked their path.

Only then were they able to successfully enter the core area.

Under Li Ruyi's guidance, Qi Wanqing collected a number of second-tier spiritual plants.

Shen Xuan helped her kill the guardian monsters, and he gave her some of each kind of spiritual plant.

Especially when it comes to the spiritual plants used in the Pure Foundation Pill, Shen Xuan will definitely take a large share.

On this day, the Yin-devouring demonic insects issued a warning.

Shen Xuan possessed one of the leaders of the Yin-Devouring Demon Insects.

On the summit of a high mountain, five cultivators stood in three separate groups.

Two of them were treacherous cultivators sent by the Guan family.

The other three were demonic cultivators sent by the Zeng family.

However, these three demonic cultivators split into two groups.

The two demonic cultivators from the Blood Spirit Sect and the White Bone Sect were quite close.

The female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect stood alone to one side.

Look at the ground again.

Two corpses of cultivators lay there.

Shen Xuan glanced at them. They should be two other people from the Zhu and Luo families.

In this way, apart from the three of them and the five people present, all the cultivators who entered the Azure Spirit Secret Realm were left with only two members of the Zhu family and one member of the Luo family who had gone into hiding.

The demonic cultivators of the White Bone Sect picked up the two corpses of cultivators from the ground and threw them into a sea of ​​white bone array flags.

The two corpses instantly became shriveled, resembling several corpses.

After the essence blood was absorbed by the white bone array flag, it emitted a pale white light.

Suddenly, the sky and earth changed color, and gusts of eerie wind blew.

In the sky, dark clouds rolled and churned, as if they were about to open a passage.

"Fellow Daoist Qianzhu, what are they doing!"

Shen Xuan briefly described what he had seen.

Qianzhu Jushi's expression changed drastically.

"Master Shen, this is trouble! This is the Demonic Sect's blood sacrifice summoning demon formation! They're trying to open a passage to the Demon Realm!"

"Depend on!"

Shen Xuan cursed angrily.

This method of sacrificing cultivators with blood and summoning demons will definitely be detected by the guardian immortal master outside the secret realm, who will then mobilize the sect's disciples to annihilate the Broken Transformation Realm in one fell swoop.

But where would any sect disciples come from in this Azure Spirit Secret Realm?

No, he and Qianzhu Jushi were both disciples of the Song Dynasty's imperial clan.

However, it is not within the jurisdiction of their own sect.

Shen Xuan thought about it for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"Fellow Daoist Qianzhu, Fellow Daoist Qi, you two go quickly to pick the Worry-Free Fruit. Do not linger in battle, go and return quickly."

"I'll go and disrupt their blood sacrifice magic array to buy time."

Qianzhu Jushi and Qi Wanqing exchanged a glance.

"Alright! Take care, Master Shen!"

"Take care, Fellow Daoist Shen!"

Without another word, the two transformed into two streaks of light and flew towards the Worry-Free Fruit.

"With the strength of Qianzhu Jushi and Qi Wanqing, plus Li Ruyi, a meditator, dealing with the guardian demon beast and harvesting the Worry-Free Fruit shouldn't be a problem."

Even if the three Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators couldn't kill the guardian beast, they could still divide into groups to entangle it and harvest some ripe Worry-Free Fruits.

Shen Xuan is now worried that the demons summoned by the demonic cultivators on the mountaintop using the blood sacrifice demon array pose a great threat to him.

These demons, limited by the rules of heaven and earth, are merely projections of the true demons of the demon realm.

Nevertheless, it is at least a second-tier superior grade, or even a second-tier top grade.

Moreover, the projection of the demon god still possesses the divine abilities and skills of the true demon of the demon realm, making its combat power astonishing and beyond the resistance of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If the demon were to escape from the Azure Spirit Secret Realm into the Mighty County, the Mighty County would surely be drenched in blood!
"Sigh, all I wanted was to play it safe and develop my character. I never imagined I'd still have to slay demons and monsters!"

Shen Xuan laughed at himself.

He's not that saintly.

However, as a disciple of the Grand Master of the Song Dynasty, there are things I should do and things I shouldn't do.

If you encounter a blood sacrifice summoning demon formation in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, you should try to stop it within your capabilities.

This is also for their own safety.

At this moment, Shen Xuan was in turmoil, and his spiritual energy fluctuated, which was noticed by the demonic cultivators of the Blood Spirit Sect.

"Devouring Yin Demon Insects!"

He roared, and a flash of blood-red cicada sword light shot towards the leader of the Yin-devouring demon worms.

A streak of azure light appeared in an instant, and with a casual flick of his hand, more than a dozen dark ice fish leaped out from his body, transforming into a series of azure ice walls.

The Blood Cicada Sword light pierced through seven layers of Azure Spirit Ice Wall before dissipating.

Shen Xuan stood upright, facing the five people directly.

"Heh heh! How dare you!"

The demonic cultivator from the White Bone Sect let out two strange laughs, and a pair of skeleton demons circled around the Azure Spirit Ice Wall, flanking them.

The long, sharp fingernails were about to pierce Shen Xuan's head.

A crackling sound rang out from Shen Xuan's body as azure arcs of electricity enveloped him. He unleashed a lightning escape technique and appeared on the other side.

"A lightning magic cultivator?"

The White Bone Sect demonic cultivator's expression changed.

Before he could even cast the spell.

A cry from an eagle.

A golden-clawed eagle snatched a skeleton demon in mid-air and flew high into the sky.

Before the other skeleton demon could react, it was tightly coiled into a ball by a red-winged serpent, its skeleton making a "crack" sound.

It looked like it was about to collapse at any moment.

"The Taiyin Corpse Beast! Are you a fellow Daoist from the Corpse Refining Sect?"

"No! You're a spiritual practitioner!"

"Did Fellow Daoist Li of the Corpse Refining Sect perish at your hands?"

The demonic cultivators from the Blood Spirit Sect and the White Bone Sect spoke out one after another.

Shen Xuan's gaze, however, was fixed on the female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect.

He vaguely felt that the female cultivator's aura was somewhat familiar.

But I can't remember it right now.

This demonic cultivator from the Hehuan Sect, who had yet to make a move, was the one Shen Xuan was most worried about.

As for the two cultivators from the Guan family, Shen Xuan didn't take them seriously at all.

"Not enough offerings! Two useless people!"

The demonic cultivator from the White Bone Sect said.

The blood sacrifice formation gradually took shape.

The portal to the demonic realm in the sky was half-opened.

A gigantic demon could be vaguely seen trying to crawl down.

"But we have ready-made offerings!"

The Blood Spirit Sect demonic cultivator sneered.

With a flash, he sped toward Shen Xuan.

However, he suddenly stopped halfway through.

A thousand rays of blood-red light emanated from his body, forming a blood net that enveloped the two Guan family cultivators who were watching from the sidelines.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, stop! What do you mean by this?!"

"Fellow Daoist Liu, we are willing to pledge allegiance to the Blood Spirit Sect!"

The two struggled and screamed.

"It is your honor to sacrifice blood to the demon god!"

The Blood Spirit Sect demonic cultivator formed a hand seal, and the blood net dragged the two tribulation cultivators into the Blood Sacrifice Bone Array.

Soon, like the two corpses before them, their essence and blood rapidly disappeared, and they withered into shriveled corpses.

The demonic passage in the sky suddenly expanded several times over.

At this moment, the demon's enormous body turned upside down, and its head emerged.

It has a bizarre appearance, with a head that is half human and half bull, and a body that is bluish-black. It is surrounded by dark demonic energy, as if it wants to destroy everything, and it is indescribably violent.

The demonic eye, cold and ruthless, looked at Shen Xuan as if he were seeing a delicious meal, and let out a smug, cackling laugh.
