The area was filled with silence. Only the hundreds of people from Evil Spirit Sect were floating in midair and looking at Thousand River Valley in the distance.
Compared to most of the Outer Sect disciples who were pale and trembling slightly, the Inner Sect disciples had aloof expressions on their faces. Their untamed air was clear, along with a hint of excitement and bloodlust.
They were from Evil Spirit Sect and disciples of Evil Sect. This was something that was incredibly clear to these Inner Sect disciples at that moment.
There was also a layer of fog that enveloped the area around these people from Evil Spirit Sect. Su Ming stood in the crowd with an indifferent look on his face as he swept his gaze across the fog around him.
That fog could hide the figures of those from Evil Spirit Sect, and if anyone looked from the outside, they would find that the fog had fused together with the darkness of the night. They would not be able to see anything clearly, and unless they had a divine sense that surpassed Shen Dong's, it would be difficult for them to see anything.
In Su Ming's eyes, he saw that the fog was formed by vengeful souls. These vengeful souls let out soundless, forlorn screams, and as they echoed in the air, they created this strange fog.
"The Immortals all claim to be righteous and call us evil … Since you ran into us, then you will die. Today … you can kill to your heart's content!" Evil Spirit Sect's Grand Sect Elder Shen Dong's voice was icy cold, and there was a chilling tone to it.
"First, we will conduct a Blood Sacrifice. The rest will seal off the eight gates of rest so that those from Hidden Dragon Sect won't be able to escape!"
Almost at the instant Evil Spirit Sect's Grand Sect Elder Shen Dong spoke, the thirty something Inner Sect disciples immediately turned their gazes towards the two hundred something Outer Sect disciples on the flying Enchanted Vessel.
A grim wave of killing intent immediately rose in them, and besides the dozens of aloof gray-robed people standing at the edge, all the other two hundred something Outer Sect disciples had their expressions change.
The clothes of these gray-robed people clearly revealed their status. They were the outstanding ones among the Berserkers who had changed their blood inheritance, and they were Outer Sect Elders who were equivalent to Zhao Chong.
The Inner Sect disciples would not easily provoke them due to the Blood Sacrifice.
As for the other Outer Sect disciples, not all of them were afraid. There were several dozens of people among them who were either laughing ferociously, looking sullen, or apathetic. The ripples of their cultivation bases erupted from their bodies. Those ripples reverberated in the air, but they were hidden by the fog around them, causing them to not spread outwards.
However, there were even more people from the other sects who were already trembling when they heard the words' blood sacrifice '.
Su Ming had heard Bao Qiu mention Blood Sacrifice before. This was a divine ability used in battle in Evil Spirit Sect. Before they fought against their enemies, they would devour their companions' flesh and blood as a sacrifice. They could gain strength for a short period of time, and since the vengeful souls of those who were sacrificed would be trapped, they would lose their sense of pain and be able to bring out a great deal of their potential.
The more people who offered sacrifices, the greater the potential. The higher the cultivation of the people offering sacrifices, the greater the potential!
If one cultivated this Blood Sacrifice to a certain extent, one could even devour all the living creatures around them in battle to maintain or strengthen one's own state. However, there were also drawbacks. After all, all cultivation techniques had their limits. The limit of the Blood Sacrifice was at most to raise one's cultivation realm, and it wouldn't last for long.
Almost at the instant Shen Dong said the words "blood sacrifice," the inner sect disciples looked over with hostile gazes. At the instant most of the outer sect disciples panicked, they saw the thirty or so inner sect disciples suddenly charge towards the flying Enchanted Vessel.
Shrill screams of pain that were hidden in the fog and could not travel outwards echoed in Su Ming's ears. Qian Chen was so terrified that all blood had drained from his face. Perhaps it was because the power he used as a laborer had gained some results, but most of the Inner Sect disciples ignored him.
It was not that no one chose to escape, but the screen of light on the flying Enchanted Vessel had turned into a ravine that prevented the Outer Sect disciples from escaping, turning this place into a prison!
Su Ming stood there, and a crease gradually appeared between his brows. He saw the Outer Sect disciples dying shrill deaths at the hands of their fellow sect members. Their flesh and blood were torn apart, and they turned into vengeful souls that were sucked away by the Inner Sect disciples. In fact, the shattered flesh and blood did not disappear, but instead surrounded the Inner Sect disciples' bodies, turning into a piercing, bloody, and dazzling blood-red light.
All the Inner Sect disciples who killed their fellow sect members from the Outer Sect would have their faces contorted and their eyes bloodshot once they finished killing their fellow sect members. All of them looked to be slightly stronger than before, and their murderous auras surged into the sky.
Similarly, among the people from the outer sect, only the grey-robed elders had calm expressions and didn't pay much attention to it, as if they were already used to it. The eyes of the outstanding people from the outer sect flashed as they charged out and began fighting with the inner sect disciples.
In a short period of time, there were two or three inner sect disciples who died horribly and became the targets of blood sacrifice!
As he watched this, Su Ming remembered the rules of Evil Spirit Sect. The rule that forbade disciples from killing each other, and at that moment, he gained a deeper understanding towards this rule.
'So this is Evil Sect …' Su Ming thought quietly.
It was especially so when Su Ming's gaze fell on Thousand River Valley in the distance, and he suddenly felt that it was rather ironic. This habit of Evil Spirit Sect before they fought had caused a lot of them to die before they could even reach Hidden Dragon Sect's branch.
But at the same time, the deaths of the weak were exchanged for the strength of the strong!
It was especially so since there were eight people among the thirty something Inner Sect disciples who did not stop after killing one Outer Sect disciple. Instead, they continued killing until the Inner Sect disciple who was the closest to Su Ming died. That person looked incredibly frail and tall, but his power was not weak, and his bloodlust could be clearly seen on him.
By then, there were already three Outer Sect disciples who had died in his hands. He held a human head in his hands, and as he lifted it high into the air, blood spilled on his face, causing him to look hideous without even needing to intentionally disguise his face. He swept his gaze across the area and landed on Su Ming.
With a dark smile, that person took a huge step forward and charged towards Su Ming. Killing intent shone in his eyes, and when he saw that he was getting closer to Su Ming, Su Ming remained calm as he looked at the person who was coming towards him with the head in his hands. Since this person was asking for death, then he could not blame Su Ming for being ruthless.
One step, two steps, three steps … At the instant that Inner Sect disciple closed in on Su Ming, Shen Dong's aloof voice suddenly came from all around him.
"The Blood Sacrifice has ended! Those who succeed in the Blood Sacrifice will follow me into Hidden Dragon Sect! " As Shen Dong's words echoed in the air, the Inner Sect disciple who was closing in on Su Ming came to an abrupt halt and smiled darkly at Su Ming. Then, he turned around and no longer bothered with him, charging towards Shen Dong.
The thirty something Inner Sect disciples and a few Outer Sect and Inner Sect disciples who had performed the Blood Sacrifice flew out and turned into long arcs. Under Shen Dong's lead, the eight powerful warriors from Evil Spirit Sect who had descended in this place formed a group of forty something long arcs that charged towards Thousand River Valley.
A bloody storm was about to begin!
At the same time, the gray-robed people on the flying Enchanted Vessel took a step forward with aloof expressions on their faces. As they formed seals with their hands, they started forming seals on the flying Enchanted Vessel. Immediately, the flying Enchanted Vessel that was the size of a field rose into the air and charged towards Thousand River Valley. It floated in the sky above Hidden Dragon Sect's branch, and a piercing dark light abruptly erupted from it.
That dark light erupted from the flying Enchanted Vessel and immediately enveloped several hundreds of lis beneath it, causing the place to look as if it had been sealed, turning it into a land of death!
Soon after, seven of the gray-robed people stayed behind and sat down cross-legged on the Enchanted Vessel. The others stepped out of the Enchanted Vessel and charged towards Hidden Dragon Sect underneath.
At that moment, all the people in the area, including Qian Chen, only noticed after some time had passed that Su Ming, who had originally been standing beside him, had disappeared without a trace.
At that moment, a shocking boom reverberated in the air. That sound came from the ground, from the Rune of Hidden Dragon Sect's branch in Thousand River Valley.
This Rune would usually not be revealed, but at that moment, it manifested in the form of a gigantic waterfall. That waterfall was in the shape of a ring and enveloped Thousand River Valley within it. The sounds of gushing water spread through the area, and an enraged voice came from within Thousand River Valley, which was located within the waterfall.
"Shen Dong! How dare you disobey the rules of the Immortals and Evil Immortals?! You surrounded Hidden Dragon Sect today, but in the future, Hidden Dragon Sect will definitely slaughter all of your Evil Spirit Sect! "
The answer to that enraged voice was a sinister cackle. Shen Dong also lifted his right hand and seized the air in the direction of the waterfall. Immediately, a gigantic phantom claw stretched out from the air beyond the waterfall, grabbed the waterfall, and yanked it upwards.
Booming sounds shook the sky and earth, and the water from the waterfall was lifted up by the phantom claw. It tumbled backwards into the sky, causing the waterfall to tremble, and a gigantic gap appeared in the never-ending stream of water!
"This isn't the first sect I've destroyed, and it won't be the last either … Kill your way in and leave nothing behind. Take the souls of those you see, and take the cores of those you see. If you see a Nascent Soul, devour it!
"Make sure that there is no longer a single trace of life left in this place!" As Shen Dong's ghastly voice reverberated in the air, he stepped through the gap in the waterfall. All the Evil Spirit Sect members behind him, including Bao Qiu, charged through the gap and entered Hidden Dragon Sect's branch!
When Bao Qiu stepped through the gap, she lifted her head and cast a glance at the flying Enchanted Vessel above her. She did not know when Su Ming would attack, but if he did not attack now, it would clearly be too late.
Su Ming was on the suspension bridge in Thousand River Valley at that moment. With a calm expression on his face, he walked forward. His footsteps were not quick, but his body was like a ghost, causing no one to be able to see him clearly. One breath ago, he was still on the suspension bridge, but in the next breath, he was already outside the hall to the left of the valley.
It was also at this moment that loud booming sounds came from all around them, and a gigantic gap was torn open in the air before them. Shen Dong walked out, and behind him, all the Evil Spirit Sect members appeared with a loud whistle.
The slaughter began just like that. As enraged roars echoed in the air, several dozens of long arcs flew out from Hidden Dragon Sect and charged towards the Evil Spirit Sect members in the sky. Booming sounds reverberated in the air, and blood rained down on the ground.
