The Miao girl snorted coldly, "Although our two religions worship the same sage, we still have a blood feud. I don't like beating around the bush. In short, if you want to betray me after we've served our purpose, you'd better not do it now. Wait until the Blood King Gu is fully grown, and then you can try to turn against me if you really want to."
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of two-faced person."
“Yes, you’re not a two-faced person, but how come I heard that you could even lay a hand on the wife of your former subordinate? And that subordinate of yours was loyal and wanted to follow you to revive the Blood God Sect, but you caused his family to be destroyed!” Miao Xiaodie stopped and turned to look at the man with a face full of scars.
Long Tu survived a great battle years ago, his body covered in wounds inflicted by those self-proclaimed righteous people from the Heavenly Sword Sect. The once valiant and extraordinary young man has now become a disfigured monster.
Long Tu sneered, "Hehehe... My brother is indeed a good man, but his woman is no good. Seeing my strength, she wanted to be with me. Why not take advantage of a free lunch? But my brother was stupid enough to fight me for a woman who betrayed him. Isn't that courting death? But I was still merciful. After playing with her for a few days, I sent her down to keep my brother company. After all, they are a loving couple..."
Miao Xiaodie's expression was somewhat unnatural, as if she was disgusted by the man in front of her. "You really are a pervert. Oh well, as long as you don't interfere with important matters, I don't care what kind of person you are."
"Hehehe, Master Miao's way of addressing me is quite unique, 'pervert'? What does that mean?"
"It's probably similar to being a beast!" Miao Xiaodie snorted and said, then continued walking forward.
The two continued their journey until they reached the edge of the forbidden blood pool. Inside this cave was a pool filled with human and animal blood. According to Long Tu, although humans are the most intelligent of all beings, they are also one of all beasts.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, mixed with a hint of decay, like the lingering smell of a slaughterhouse, making one feel nauseous.
Are you sure this place is suitable for cultivating the Blood King Gu?
"Master Miao, please allow me to explain. Blood Gu and Blood King Gu are two different things. Blood Gu can be made from anything, but Blood King Gu requires a cultivator with a pure heart and great strength. I have already chosen a candidate. If we can make him into Blood King Gu, then from now on, the Blood God Sect will be invincible in the world."
Even through her veil, Miao Xiaodie could hardly bear the smell of the place. She covered her mouth and nose with her hand and said, "Is it Liu Jiantang? The number one fighter in the world, he is indeed a good choice. However, I heard that he is your brother-in-law."
Long Tu revealed a sinister smile, "Isn't that perfect? Consider it him doing his brother-in-law a favor!"
"You need to watch out for your sister; she might just side with outsiders!"
"She wouldn't dare. If she betrays me, I wouldn't mind having another Blood King Gu. Hey! You know, if she really becomes a Blood King Gu, she'll be easier to control since we're blood-related... That's something I didn't think of before."
"You really have no humanity..."
Long Tu spread his hands and said, "What need is there for a cultivator to have humanity? From the moment we cultivate to the point of having a lifespan that ordinary people don't have, we can no longer be considered human."
Miao Xiaodie shook her head and then said, "Since you've chosen Liu Jiantang, then hurry up. They've already entered Miao territory. If the Five Swords of Ling Su attack at the same time, we might not be able to defeat them!"
"Hmph! What kind of bullshit Five Sword Immortals? Apart from Ye Qingyun, Shen Huairu and Liu Jiantang, the other two are just for show. Now that only Liu Jiantang has come, he is not worth worrying about."
At this moment, the girl in Miao clothing seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes became deep. "Xiao Yuhan is a talent that can be won over. He is ruthless and is one of us."
"Oh? You know him?"
"I guess so. Anyway, this guy is no good. If possible, we should try to recruit him to work for us!"
Long Tu seemed to be deep in thought, then burst into laughter, as if he had just thought of something.
...
Outside the poisonous fog of the Blood King's Cave, Liu Jiantang and Xiao Yuhan stopped. In fact, the poisonous fog was not a problem for the two of them, but if they went any further, they might have to face the enemy directly. Even Liu Jiantang had to stop and think of a solution.
"Senior Brother Liu, don't rush in yet, we need to discuss this!"
"You wait for them here. I'll go by myself. Don't worry this time. I won't be careless again. Miao Xiaodie isn't actually that scary. I only suffered losses at her hands before because I underestimated her!"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade this stubborn mule no matter what he did, Xiao Yuhan immediately shouted angrily, "Liu Jiantang! Aren't you underestimating your opponent right now? Do you know how many people they have? Do you know their strength?"
"That's why we need to investigate! Even if we wait for the sect leader to arrive with his men, someone still has to take the risk..."
He stopped abruptly mid-sentence, his gaze turning cold and sharp. "Someone's coming!"
Xiao Yuhan also sensed movement from all directions and immediately drew his Gentleman's Sword, ready for battle.
Suddenly, shouts rang out from afar: "Enemy attack! Alert!"
Hundreds of disciples dressed in the Five Immortals Sect robes emerged from all directions. These people were not strong in cultivation, but their methods were unpredictable.
Upon seeing Xiao Yuhan and his companion, some immediately recognized them, shouting, "Be careful! Don't attack head-on, use Gu and poison!"
As soon as he finished speaking, arrows flew in from all directions, and countless poisonous insects and snakes attacked the two of them from all sides.
Liu Jiantang glanced at Xiao Yuhan, "Are you having any health problems right now?"
“The toxins have been cleared, dealing with these people is no problem!” Xiao Yuhan nodded and said.
Liu Jiantang drew his sword and said, "Leave the leaders to me, and these henchmen to you!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he vanished, cutting into the enemy's rear. Seeing that these people had turned their attention to resisting Liu Jiantang, Xiao Yu sneered, "Aren't you underestimating me too much!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan rose up on his sword, the Azure Lotus Dao Seal appearing behind him. As he wielded the sword, lightning flashed, and the sky was filled with dark clouds and thunder roared the moment he raised his sword.
"Prepare for divine punishment, you little brats!"
Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky, and bolts of lightning, like divine punishment, fell down, instantly turning the snakes, insects, rats, and ants on the ground to ashes. The disciples of the Five Immortals Sect were not spared either.
With just this one strike, more than half of those hundreds of people were killed. At this moment, Xiao Yuhan was like a sword immortal descending to earth, his feet stepping on the void with a majestic aura. This was the first real attack he had made since coming to this world. Although he was dealing with some rabble, it was no exaggeration for him to be called the Evil-Slaying Sword Immortal by the world.
As for Liu Jiantang, he was even more terrifying. The enemy couldn't even see his figure clearly. This man and his sword moved as if they were in an empty field. With each stroke of his sword, a life was taken.
