Chapter 1335 - 1332: Two Demon Generals

West Desert Demon Realm, Blood Grudge Mountain Range.

From the sky overlooking downwards, within a range of hundreds of miles, strangely shaped peaks stretch endlessly, rising and falling, faintly visible palaces nestled among them.

Thick blood-colored mist entangles the peaks, at first glance appearing as a blood-red ocean, occasionally accompanied by a chilling scream that makes one’s scalp numb.

This is the blood-curdling Blood Demon Sect, rumored to be situated in the ancient battlefield of the Blood Grudge Mountain Range, where countless mighty beings fell giving rise to resentful sentiments that manifested into these blood-colored miasmas, lingering throughout the year.

In a palace, a figure stands at the head, eyes shrouded under a black robe, blood-red like fire, flickering like a lantern’s light, exuding an ominous and savage aura.

If Luo Feng were here, he would surely recognize at first glance that this person is his Blood Poison Demonic General’s master, the Corpse Ghost Taoist, feared throughout the rtiad.

Suddenly, the blood light in the Corpse Ghost Taoist’s eyes flashed, looking towards the sky.

Whoosh!

The sound of air being pierced rings out, as a fly-sized bug covered with eyes shoots into the palace.

Corpse Ghost Taoist opens his mouth, swallows the insect, and chews it down, the blood light in his eyes flickering as if sensing something.

After a moment, his eyes suddenly brighten, letting out a sinister laugh: "Luo Feng, you finally stepped out of the Canglang Dynasty."

As the laughter rang out, the air in the palace slightly vibrated, and from the dark corners, pairs of bright blood-red eyes shone, glittering as the low growls of beasts rose one after another. In the faint blood light streaming through the palace, it could be seen that these eyes belonged to nearly a hundred blood corpses.

"This time, I’ll make sure you can’t escape!"

With a vicious smile, Corpse Ghost Taoist’s eyes flickered with blood light, pondering, "Luo Feng alone isn’t an issue, but those two Sword Tomb disciples are indeed troublesome. I can’t handle them alone and must find some help."

"Indeed, calling on Blood Shadow’s disciples, since during the last Canglang Dynasty’s siege of the Demon Sect’s strongholds, they suffered heavy losses too. I’ll call him in. He just broke through to the Yuan Sea Realm lately. With him around, success is assured! Luo Feng, let’s see who can save you this time!"

With a flash in his eyes, Corpse Ghost Taoist let out several cruel laughs, transforming into a blood light, disappearing from the palace.

Last time, leading a battalion of thousands of Blood Demon Sect disciples to the Red Flame Desert to besiege Luo Feng, not only did they fail to kill him, but most of the disciples were killed or wounded, and Corpse Ghost Taoist even had an arm severed by Su Zhuyun, greatly injuring his Yuan Qi!

This incident became a knot in Corpse Ghost Taoist’s heart, silently vowing to kill Luo Feng no matter what, to ease the hatred in his heart.

For the past few months, he had been striving to recover his Yuan Qi, deploying techniques to monitor the borders between Canglang Dynasty and Red Flame Desert, awaiting the moment to exact revenge. Unexpectedly, the opportunity arrived swiftly!

Blood Grudge Mountain Range, inside a blood-colored palace.

"Haha, Corpse Ghost, I thought you came to ask for my help against some formidable figure, yet it’s over a mere junior of Spiritual Rotation Realm. I’ve heard about the last incident where you took thousands of disciples to slay this Luo Feng, but only three or four hundred returned, and you ended up severely injured yourself. Clearly, you’ve been living backwardly over these centuries."

Above the palace, a middle-aged man in a blood-gold robe sits upon a massive chair, smirking as he gazes at Corpse Ghost Taoist below.

Corpse Ghost Taoist felt somewhat embarrassed; the failure to besiege Luo Feng had long become known throughout the Blood Demon Sect, making him a laughing stock, ridiculed in secret. It is for this reason that he is determined to personally dispose of Luo Feng to erase the shame.

Beneath his eyes, the blood flame flickered, Corpse Ghost Taoist looked up at the man in a blood robe and said, "Blood Shadow, last time’s incident was due to my negligence, underestimating that Shui Qingcheng girl from Linglong Hall, who saved him with Divine Refining Body. Later, by chance, we encountered two Silver Swordmen from Sword Tomb, resulting in failure."

Usually arrogant, Corpse Ghost Taoist now surprisingly showed some respect in his demeanor; the middle-aged in blood-gold robe before him wasn’t an ordinary Blood Demon Sect disciple but the renowned Blood Shadow Demon General, ranked within the top fifty of the hundred and eight Blood Demon Generals, transcending his status. Recently, the opponent had furthermore broken through to the Yuan Sea Realm, greatly enhancing his prowess.

"Oh? Shui Qingcheng capable of deploying Divine Refining Body? Seems like the Water Fairy of Free and Unfettered Sect from back then still retains her glamour. The Silver Swordmen of Sword Tomb, each remarkably talented in Sword Dao, a master of Sword Intent, at least in True Yuan Realm, no wonder you were defeated encountering them."

Blood Shadow Demon General nodded, scrutinizing Corpse Ghost Taoist with a glance, "I’ve just ascended to the Yuan Sea Realm. According to our agreement with the nine Grand Sanctuaries, I cannot step into the territory of the hundred nations."

"As long as they’re killed silently, who would know? Moreover, the agreement with the nine Grand Sanctuaries is already nominal, tearing the facade is only a matter of time." Corpse Ghost Taoist said grimly.

Blood Shadow Demon General did not retort, instead asked, "Killing them, for me, is as easy as flipping a hand. Yet, why should I help you? Without benefits, I wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters."

Corpse Ghost Taoist hurriedly replied, "Blood Shadow, this isn’t trivial at all. Luo Feng has comprehended Grand Momentum, a highly fearsome potential. Recently I heard he’s already reached the third layer of True Yuan Realm, not many 16-17-year-olds achieve such feats. Especially in a minor nation like Canglang Dynasty. This person is a once-in-a-century genius; if allowed to grow, he surely will become a mortal enemy of our Blood Demon Sect. You’re well aware, last time when the twelve Golden Palaces of Canglang Dynasty besieged our Blood Demon Sect stronghold, it was instigated by him."

"This has nothing to do with me. I just grasped the Yuan Sea Realm and need to stabilize, please leave then." Blood Shadow Demon General said calmly, waving his hand dismissively.

Upon hearing, Corpse Ghost Taoist’s face stiffened slightly; honestly, he hadn’t anticipated Blood Shadow’s refusal. The ruthless opponent, with countless lives on his hands, during the twelve Golden Palaces’ siege of the Blood Demon Sect’s stronghold last time, had his disciples suffer death and injury, seemingly having no reason to refuse.

Glancing at Blood Shadow Demon General, Corpse Ghost Taoist recalled something, his eyes twitched intensely, with a flash of blood light in his hand, a golden heart appeared.

The heart had the size of an infant’s fist, shimmering with five-colored splendor, seemingly real yet illusory, harboring a sacred taste.

Upon seeing the five-colored heart in Corpse Ghost Taoist’s hand, Blood Shadow Demon General’s eyes slightly brightened but asked nonchalantly, "Corpse Ghost, what are you doing?"

"Blood Shadow, let’s not beat around the bush."

Corpse Ghost Taoist, holding the five-colored heart, looked at Blood Shadow Demon General and said, "I’ve long known you’ve wanted this Five-Colored Glazed Toad heart from me. I can give it to you, but you must first help me kill those two Sword Tomb disciples who’ve thwarted my plans, as for Luo Feng, I want to handle him personally."

"Haha...that Luo Feng indeed resulted in massive losses for our Blood Demon Sect. As one of the hundred and eight Blood Demon Generals, naturally, I cannot let him off lightly. Okay, I promise you." Blood Shadow Demon General laughed heartily, reaching out to take the five-colored heart from Corpse Ghost Taoist’s hand.

"Wait."

Corpse Ghost Taoist withdrew the five-colored heart again and said, "Only after it’s done, will it be yours."

Blood Shadow Demon General somewhat regretfully retrieved his hand, asking, "When should we act?"

Corpse Ghost Taoist said, "I’m worried Shui Qingcheng has again implanted Divine Refining Body into Luo Feng, which weakens over long distances. We’ll wait until they leave the Red Flame Desert and enter Dali Dynasty’s territory before acting. I’ve already sent a blood corpse bug to track them so we won’t lose their trail."

"Fine. Remember your words."

Blood Shadow Demon General nodded, having just broken through the Yuan Sea Realm, the Five-Colored Glazed Toad heart is greatly beneficial to him.
