Whoosh!

Lü Chunyang was the last to slip back.

"Brother Duanmu, it should be alright, right?"

Li Jing looked at Duanmu Yuan and asked.

"It doesn't matter. As long as there is a top-grade divine medicine like Dragon Blood Grass, it will be enough for the Black Python King to transform."

"More than that would not help the Black Python King; in fact, it might even hinder its transformation after it consumes it."

Duanmu Yuan naturally knew what Li Jing was asking. He shook his head and said...

Shao Haoling and the others remained silent. They had all seen that the reason Lü Chunyang was the last to return was because he had snatched all twenty-seven mid-grade divine medicine Dragon Blood Grass plants and two high-grade divine medicine Dragon Blood Grass plants from the island in the middle of the lake.

The only remaining plant on the entire island in the lake is a Dragon Blood Grass, a top-grade divine medicine.

"roar……"

The Black Python King glanced at Li Jing and the others, roared at a group of True God Realm level black pythons, and headed towards the island in the middle of the lake.

The twenty-odd black pythons at the True God Realm level obediently burrowed into the lake, not daring to show any anger towards Li Jing and the others.

There's no way around it, their demonstrated strength is just too overwhelming.

Even a cultivator at the God-King level had fallen, so how could these True God-level black pythons dare to have any complaints?

Moreover, if Li Jing and the others hadn't intervened, these black pythons would have suffered heavy losses.

"Brother Duanmu, do you know who those people were?"

Li Jing asked Duanmu Yuan and the others.

At first, he thought those people were all rogue cultivators.

I never imagined these people were in cahoots.

With five experts at the God King level and dozens of cultivators above the seventh level of the True God Realm, this is no small force.

Even within the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, they must be an extremely powerful force.

Upon hearing Li Jing's words, Duanmu Yuan and the others exchanged glances.

"Let me answer this question, Brother Li."

Shao Haoling pondered for a moment and said, "They are all members of the Crimson Blood Demonic Sect."

"The Crimson Blood Cult?"

Li Jing frowned and said.

He seemed to have never heard of this faction.

Whether in the present or in my past life, I have never heard of the Crimson Blood Demonic Cult.

"Indeed, the Crimson Blood Demonic Cult."

"This Crimson Blood Demonic Cult seems to have appeared out of thin air; no one knows their origins."

"Moreover, it hasn't been around for long; it just appeared suddenly this year."

"They have not only appeared in our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, but their traces can be found throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness."

"According to our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty's investigation, there are five powerful experts at the Divine Emperor level within this Crimson Blood Demonic Sect."

After a moment's consideration, Shao Haoling said with a solemn expression, "In the Crimson Blood Demon Sect, there is a sect leader and four guardian Dharma Kings."

All five of them were true God Emperors.

Moreover, it can make four powerful figures at the Divine Emperor level willingly work for it.

Our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty speculates that the leader of the Crimson Blood Demon Sect is very likely an existence whose cultivation level has reached the late stage of the God Emperor Realm.

He is among the most powerful experts in the entire Eastern Wilderness!

"Five Divine Emperor Realm experts?"

"A late-stage Divine Emperor?"

Li Jing's expression turned serious.

If this Crimson Blood Demonic Sect is truly that powerful, then their Primordial Dynasty must be extra vigilant.

"Besides the experts at the God Emperor level, there are also many experts at the God King level in the Crimson Blood Demon Sect."

"Our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty has been cracking down on the Crimson Blood Demonic Cult."

"But these people are very well hidden. So far, our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty has only killed three members of the Crimson Blood Demonic Cult who are at the God King level."

Shao Haoling said solemnly, "Including the God King level expert who died at Brother Li's hands, that makes four people killed."

"What have these members of the Crimson Blood Demonic Cult done?"

Li Jing pondered for a moment, then asked Shao Haoling.

"Massacre the city!"

With a hint of murderous intent on his face, Shao Haoling said, "In our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, one prefecture and thirteen county towns have already been slaughtered!"

The number of civilian casualties exceeds 20 million!

Anger and murderous intent were also evident on the faces of Chen Chuan and the others.

No one, regardless of who they are, could remain indifferent to something like the massacre of an entire city.

This was a massacre of everyone, regardless of age or gender.

Slaughtering everyone in a city is called massacring a city!

A hint of murderous intent appeared on the faces of Li Jing and the others.

"Throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness, the number of cities slaughtered by the Crimson Blood Demonic Cult may have exceeded one hundred!"

"After each massacre of a city, the strength of the Crimson Blood Demon Cult members would greatly improve."

"Our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty suspects that the members of the Crimson Blood Demonic Sect may be cultivating by using blood."

"After all, their sect's name contains the word 'blood'."

“Every place where a city was massacred has one very obvious characteristic: the blood of all the men, women and children in the city has disappeared.”

"Not a single drop of blood can be seen throughout the entire city!"

Shao Haoling said with a heavy expression.

"It seems I shouldn't have stopped there. I should have slaughtered all these members of the Crimson Blood Demon Cult! Leave no one alive!"

Li Jing said with a chilling aura.

He finally understood why Shao Haoling and the others had chased down at least one True God Realm cultivator before returning.

“It’s perfectly normal for Brother Li to be unaware of the Crimson Blood Demonic Cult.”

"To prevent the news of the Crimson Blood Demonic Cult's massacre of the city from spreading, both our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty and other holy lands are prohibited from spreading this matter."

"So as not to cause panic among the people of the Eastern Wilderness."

Shao Haoling explained to Li Jing.

Chen Chuan and the others knew about the Crimson Blood Demon Sect because their families were all important officials of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, and naturally they knew some secrets that outsiders did not know.

"Is that blood lotus flower the symbol of the Crimson Blood Demonic Cult?"

Li Jing suddenly remembered that the group of Crimson Blood Demon Cult members from earlier all seemed to have a blood lotus flower on their black clothes.

"That's right, the symbol of the Crimson Blood Demonic Cult is the blood lotus."

"However, Brother Li, please don't think that what you just saw was the true face of the Crimson Blood Demonic Cult."

“The Crimson Blood Cult is very skilled in illusion techniques. What we just saw was definitely not their true appearance.”

"Even the blood lotus flowers on their clothes weren't actually embroidered on."

"Instead, their cultivation techniques are attached to their clothes. Once they disperse the power that forms the blood lotus, their clothes will be no different from ordinary black clothes."

"Only when the Crimson Blood Demon Cult is in action will a wisp of divine power form a blood lotus on the clothes."

Shao Haoling thought for a moment and then explained to Li Jing.

"Understood."

Li Jing nodded slightly. If the Crimson Blood Demon Cult members were really that easy to detect, then the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty would not have been unable to eradicate the Crimson Blood Demon Cult members lurking within it for so long.

Suddenly!

Boom!

A thunderclap resounded.
