Chapter 168 Action, Targeting the Demon Blood Cult
Deep within the Demon Blood Cult, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue, two people with secret missions, are gradually emerging in the cult according to plan.
For them, the past six months have been both opportunities and challenges. Every mission is like walking on a knife's edge. They have to complete it perfectly to gain their trust, while also secretly planning to weaken the strength of the Demon Blood Cult.
Hong Huang was practicing in seclusion in his residence. His room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, which was a herbal remedy he had specially blended to help him condense his skills.
He knew very well that in the Demon Blood Cult, strength was the foundation of survival. Only by possessing sufficient strength could one complete the mission without being suspected by others.
Ling Qingyue was in the library of the Demon Blood Cult, flipping through various ancient books. She seemed to be looking for a method to improve her strength, but in fact she was exploring the secret weaknesses of the Demon Blood Cult. Her smart eyes shuttled between the pages, not missing any potentially useful information.
A month later, the members of the Demon Blood Cult received a mission to search for treasures in an ancient ruin. It was said that there was a peerless magic weapon hidden there. If they could get it, the strength of the Demon Blood Cult would be greatly increased.
Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue volunteered, and the higher-ups of the sect, seeing how well they had completed the last mission, readily agreed.
On the way to the ruins, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue began their plan.
Hong Huang deliberately spread some rumors about possible dangers in the ruins among the team, making some members of the Demon Blood Cult feel fearful, while Ling Qingyue secretly destroyed the equipment of some members of the Cult, putting them at a disadvantage when entering the ruins.
When they stepped into the ruins, an ancient and mysterious atmosphere hit them. The inside was dark and terrifying, filled with various mechanisms and traps.
Hong Huang walked in front, seemingly exploring the way for everyone, but in fact he was cleverly guiding everyone towards an area densely populated with traps.
"Everyone be careful, the mechanism here seems unusual." Hong Huang shouted loudly, with a barely perceptible hint of cunning in his voice.
The followers of the Demon Blood Cult followed him nervously, without any doubt about his intentions.
Ling Qingyue was at the back, and while no one was paying attention, she secretly cast a spell and triggered some hidden mechanisms.
For a moment, arrows flew like rain and poisonous fog filled the air. The followers of the Demon Blood Cult were immediately thrown into chaos, with heavy casualties.
Seeing this, Hong Huang pretended to fight hard against the mechanism, but secretly destroyed some important defensive magic weapons, making the situation of the Demon Blood Cult even more difficult.
After a hard battle, they finally found the so-called peerless magic weapon. It was a long sword emitting a faint light, and the sword body was engraved with mysterious runes.
Hong Huang picked up the long sword and pretended to be ecstatic. "This sword belongs to the Demon Blood Sect. It will surely allow our sect to shake the Xuantian Continent."
After returning to the Demon Blood Sect, everyone thought that Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue had completed this mission extremely difficult but perfectly, and the higher-ups in the sect praised them highly.
Wu Rao looked at them and said with satisfaction, "You two have made great contributions to the sect this time. Your promotion is just around the corner."
Hong Huang responded modestly, "It is only thanks to the blessings of the seniors in the sect that we were able to succeed by chance."
Ling Qingyue also nodded obediently.
Two months later, the Demon Blood Cult received news that a mysterious organization was secretly opposing the Demon Blood Cult and robbing its resources. The Demon Blood Cult's branch leader was furious and sent most of the members of the cult to investigate and eliminate the organization, including Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue.
Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue came to the valley where the mysterious organization was located. They found that although the organization was small in number, each of them was highly skilled in martial arts, and the valley was full of strange techniques.
Hong Huang came up with a plan. He said to Ling Qingyue, "We can pretend to be defeated, lure them out of the valley, and then set up an ambush outside."
Ling Qingyue nodded in understanding.
After the two of them entered the valley, they fought with the people from the mysterious organization. After a few rounds, they pretended to be defeated and fled the valley in a hurry. The people from the mysterious organization saw them running away and thought they had an opportunity, so they chased them out.
As soon as they got out of the valley, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue used the formation they had prepared long ago to trap the people from the mysterious organization inside.
However, Hong Huang deliberately left a flaw in the formation, allowing one of the members of the mysterious organization to escape.
He said to the remaining members, "Leave one person alive and have him go back to report the news. This will lead to the discovery of the forces behind them."
Afterwards, the members of the Demon Blood Cult followed the member of this mysterious organization to their base camp.
Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue appeared to be actively participating in this encirclement and suppression campaign, but in fact they were secretly sabotaging the Demon Blood Cult's deployment. They secretly informed the mysterious organization of the Demon Blood Cult's action plan, causing the two sides to fall into a melee. The Demon Blood Cult suffered heavy losses, but on the surface they still fought hard to kill the enemy and were finally rewarded.
Not long after, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue's third mission was about to begin. This time the mission was to snatch a spirit bead. It was said that this spirit bead had magical effects and could improve one's cultivation level.
The branch leader of the Demon Blood Cult attached great importance to this mission, because he hoped to use the power of the spirit pearl to break through his bottleneck.
Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue came to the place where the spirit pearl was. It was an ancient tower shrouded in fog. There were powerful restrictions around the ancient tower. Only by removing the restrictions could they enter the tower and obtain the spirit pearl.
Hong Huang studied the restriction carefully and found that the restriction could be broken by using a special formation, but once this formation was used, it would cause chaos in the surrounding spiritual power.
He said to Ling Qingyue, "We will use this formation to break the restriction, but we must control the chaos of spiritual energy so that the people from the Demon Blood Cult will encounter some obstacles when entering the tower."
Ling Qingyue nodded in agreement. The two of them cast a formation and successfully broke the restriction, but it also caused chaos in the spiritual power.
When the followers of the Demon Blood Cult entered the tower, they were shocked by the chaotic spiritual power and many of them suffered internal injuries.
After entering the tower, they found the spirit pearl, which was emitting dazzling light. Hong Huang reached out to take the spirit pearl, but deliberately pretended to be counterattacked by the power of the spirit pearl. "The power of this spirit pearl is too strong, I can't control it." He shouted loudly.
Upon seeing this, the followers of the Demon Blood Cult rushed forward to help, but were injured by the power of the spirit pearl.
Ling Qingyue took the opportunity to cast a spell to destroy some of the defense mechanisms in the tower, putting the ancient tower in danger of collapse.
"Everyone, get out quickly, this ancient tower is about to collapse!" Ling Qingyue shouted.
The followers of the Demon Blood Cult panicked and fled. In the chaos, Hong Huang took the spirit pearl into his pocket, but he secretly sealed a part of the power of the spirit pearl, which greatly reduced its effectiveness.
After returning to the Demon Blood Sect, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue were rewarded again.
Wu Rao looked at them and said, "You two have performed exceptionally well this time. The sub-leader has approved your promotions. From now on, you are members of the Demon Blood Cult. I'll be relying on you two a lot in the future!"
"Don't worry, Master Wu, we won't forget you."
Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue were secretly happy in their hearts. Their undercover plan had taken a big step forward.
After being promoted to members of the Demon Blood Cult, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue gained more authority and were able to access the Demon Blood Cult's more core secrets.
They began to explore the background of the Demon Blood Cult more deeply, looking for ways to fundamentally weaken the Demon Blood Cult.
Ling Qingyue discovered a secret training place of the Demon Blood Cult. It was the place where the high-ranking members of the Demon Blood Cult improved their skills, but the training method was extremely evil and required absorbing the essence of a large number of living beings.
She secretly told Hong Huang the news, "If we can destroy this place of training, the strength of the Demon Blood Cult's top leaders will definitely suffer a heavy blow." Ling Qingyue said.
Hong Huang thought for a moment and said, "But this matter is extremely dangerous. We need to plan carefully."
The two of them began to secretly observe the guarding situation and entry methods of the secret training place, preparing to find a suitable opportunity to launch an attack.
Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue finally waited for an opportunity. Most of the masters of the Demon Blood Cult were out on missions, and the guarding force of the secret training ground was relatively weak.
Under the cover of night, everything was silent except for the occasional cries of night owls. Like ghosts, they took advantage of the moonlight to sneak silently towards the mysterious and forbidden place of secret training.
Not only that, in order to avoid being discovered, they disguised themselves carefully, completely changed their appearance, and pretended to be two complete strangers.
When they finally stepped into this place of cultivation, an evil aura so strong that it was almost suffocating hit them in the face. The aura seemed to have life, tightly wrapping around them, trying to invade their bodies and souls.
However, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue were not frightened by this terrifying aura. Hong Huang quickly formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and cast a powerful spell.
At the same time, Ling Qingyue was not to be outdone. She held a sword in her hand, and a cool light emanated from her body. She cooperated with Hong Huang in perfect harmony.
With the two of them working together, the core formation hidden deep in the training ground was instantly severely damaged, and the originally stable flow of energy suddenly became chaotic.
A trace of determination flashed in Hong Huang's eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Hurry, take advantage of now! Destroy all the evil props here!" Before he finished speaking, he flashed and rushed in one direction first.
Ling Qingyue understood what he meant and followed closely, waving the sword in her hand like the wind, continuously slashing at the instruments placed around that were emitting strange light.
These instruments are all evil objects used by the Demon Blood Cult to absorb the essence and souls of living beings. Each one is stained with the blood and resentment of countless innocent lives.
Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue knew very well how dangerous it was, so they acted without mercy. Only crisp cracking sounds were heard, and those evil props turned into fragments and scattered all over the ground.
However, just when they were about to succeed, suddenly, a deafening roar erupted. The roar was like thunder from a clear sky, and the entire training ground was shaking.
It turned out that their destruction of the core formation just now triggered a series of chain reactions, causing a secret mechanism to be triggered.
This sudden change immediately attracted the attention of the Demon Blood Cult guards. In an instant, shouts of killing were heard everywhere, and several black shadows rushed over like lightning, heading straight for where Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue were.
"Oh no, we've been discovered, let's retreat quickly!" Ling Qingyue shouted with a serious expression.
She was holding a long sword, her figure flashing like lightning, and with the sword shadow flying, she easily blocked the fierce attack of the guards.
Hong Huang on the side was not to be outdone. He brandished the spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear turned into cold stars, stabbing at the enemies that were surging towards him.
The two men stood back to back, working in perfect harmony to resist the guards' wave after wave of crazy attacks.
However, despite their great martial arts skills, the situation became increasingly critical as they faced the numerous guards and reinforcements from the Demon Blood Cult that kept pouring in.
"This is not a solution. We must come up with a plan to break out successfully as soon as possible!" Hong Huang said loudly while panting. Sweat slid down his forehead and soaked his clothes, but his eyes remained firm.
At this moment, Ling Qingyue's smart eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, as if she had thought of something wonderful. She took a deep breath, quickly formed seals with her hands, and muttered something.
In an instant, a mysterious power gushed out from her body, instantly enveloping the surrounding space.
The guards who had been rushing towards them with ferocious looks and bared fangs and claws suddenly seemed to have lost their direction and began to spin in place, with expressions of confusion and fear on their faces.
It turned out that Ling Qingyue had cast an extremely powerful illusion, which made these guards deeply trapped in the illusion and unable to extricate themselves.
"Hurry up, now is the time!" Ling Qingyue shouted, stretched out her hand and tightly grabbed Hong Huang's arm, her feet moving like the wind, and she rushed towards the exit like an arrow.
Seeing this, Hong Huang was overjoyed and hurriedly followed. Along the way, they dodged left and right, avoiding the attacks of those guards who had not yet completely fallen into the illusion.
Finally, after a thrilling sprint, the two successfully escaped from the secret training place of the Demon Blood Cult and disappeared into the vast night.
After going through untold hardships, they finally managed to escape from the mysterious and dangerous place of secret training.
However, even though they had escaped danger temporarily, both of them knew very well that with the methods and sphere of influence of the Demon Blood Cult, it would not take long for them to realize that all this was done by the two of them.
Therefore, in the days to come, they must be more cautious and tread carefully than ever before.
Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue did not dare to delay for a moment. They quickly took off their camouflage clothes and masks, and then rushed back to the branch of the Demon Blood Cult without stopping.
As soon as they stepped into the gate of the Demon Blood Cult, they pretended to be indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
But in fact, their hearts were already in turmoil, and they were nervously planning their subsequent action plans.
They knew very well that it would be no easy task to completely eradicate the evil organization, the Demon Blood Cult. Although they had successfully infiltrated it, if they were not careful they might still expose their identities and fall into an irretrievable situation.
Therefore, they decided to continue to stay inside the Demon Blood Cult and lie dormant in secret, patiently waiting for more opportunities to weaken its overall strength.
At the same time, one must remain vigilant at all times and skillfully respond to any suspicions and temptations that may arise from the Demon Blood Cult at any time.
