The Wang Family was located in the Southern Region's Yan State.
The Yan State was one of the more prosperous states in the Southern Region. The Wang Family was good at management, so the commoners in the Yan State were much wealthier than the commoners in the other three states.
Looking at the commoners in the city wearing coarse linen clothes, Shenlang couldn't help but sigh. Was the difference between the Eastern Region and the Southern Region so big?
Although the commoners in Yang City lived better than the commoners in the other states in the Southern Region, they were still far from the Eastern Region.
In fact, Shenlang didn't know that the Southern Region and the Eastern Region had different customs. Even the wealthier commoners in the Southern Region also wore coarse linen clothes, but the workmanship was slightly better.
Yang City was much bigger than the Shen Family's Lin City. It was about the size of Half Lin City.
The entire Yang City belonged to the Wang Family. The Wang Family Mansion was very magnificent. The entire mansion was like a palace. Although it wasn't as big as a palace, it was just as luxurious.
The pavilions were antique and the environment was pleasant. It gave people a very comfortable feeling.
The people who came here couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the scene in the Wang Family Mansion.
Wang Lin led the crowd to a majestic hall. He smiled and said, "Everyone, this is where the Wang Family usually discusses matters. Please come in."
Wang Lin was gentle and polite. He didn't look like the leader of the 21 forces at all.
Which of the leaders of the 21 major forces wasn't powerful enough to rule over the world? They were either cold-blooded or domineering. However, Wang Lin didn't put on any airs at all. Instead, he gave people the impression that he was a hospitable person.
However, although Wang Lin appeared to be very approachable, Shenlang wasn't fooled by him. The more this kind of person was, the more dangerous he was. A smiling tiger was always the most terrifying.
Everyone entered the main hall. After the host and guests took their seats, Wang Lin smiled and said, "Everyone, since you've come to my Wang Family, there's no need to be polite. Just treat it as your own home. I've already ordered people to prepare the food and wine. Once we're done discussing the matter of the Blood Demon Sect, we'll drink together."
"You're too polite, Patriarch Wang."
Everyone said respectfully.
Wang Lin didn't mention his identity. Just his politeness to them was enough for them to respect him.
"Yes, thank you for your hospitality, Patriarch Wang. Let's talk about the Blood Demon Sect first."
Zhao Xingwu said indifferently.
"Alright, let's begin."
Wang Lin said with a smile. Then, his expression turned serious. "Right now, five cities in the Southern Region have been massacred by the Blood Demon Sect and the Kōshū. About ten million people have died, including many martial artists."
"Every time we went to suppress the Blood Demon Sect, they would always run away. Therefore, we had no choice but to ask for your help."
After hearing Wang Lin's words, Shenlang and the others didn't say anything. Instead, they looked at Zhang Tianling and the other Profound Void Martial Stage experts sitting at the head of the table.
None of them knew where the Blood Demon Sect was located. They only knew that the Blood Demon Sect was in a space. It was a space created by the ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect back then. It was a space parallel to the Zhenwu Continent.
In the past, the Blood Demon Sect didn't slaughter people indiscriminately and use blood to cultivate because they were afraid of the consequences.
Instead, they relied on vitality to cultivate. Although the speed was slower, it wouldn't provoke public anger.
However, after their plan in the Martial City failed, the Blood Demon Sect no longer restrained themselves and began to slaughter people without restraint.
It was foreseeable that after such a long period of slaughter, the Blood Demon Sect's strength would definitely be stronger than before.
"Someone must have contacted the Blood Demon Sect about this matter. Otherwise, why would the Blood Demon Sect be able to accurately ambush people and evade our main forces' encirclement every time?"
Zhang Tianling's eyes sparkled as he spoke.
Zhao Xingwu nodded. "Yes, Sect Master Zhang is right. Last time, when the two princes were ambushed by the Blood Demon Sect, I felt that something was wrong. This time, the Blood Demon Sect's people ambushed me and Brother Yan. We can already confirm that there is indeed a problem within our ranks."
"Hmph! If I find out who is in contact with the Blood Demon Sect, I will skin them alive and pull out their tendons, "Yan Song said coldly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
...
Everyone discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't come up with a solution. The person hiding in the dark definitely had a high status, but people with high status were basically Profound Emptiness Realm experts. This made them unable to do anything. To suspect an Profound Emptiness Realm expert, one must have solid evidence. If they made wild guesses, they would end up like Mo Cangqiong and end up in an unhappy situation.
There were no less than fifty Profound Emptiness Realm experts gathered in the Southern Mountain Range, and they didn't even have a suspect. Unless they investigated carefully, it would be very difficult. At this time, the Blood Demon Sect wouldn't give them any time to catch their breath. If they did, the Blood Demon Sect would be in danger.
After the banquet, Shenlang and the others were led to rest by people arranged by Wang Lin.
Shenlang lived in a good place. The people of the Wang Clan were very polite to Shenlang. Big clans couldn't be short-sighted people. There might be some who were jealous when they saw someone stronger than them, but those people were in the minority. Even if there were people who didn't like Shenlang, they would still make a move secretly. It was impossible for them to find trouble with him openly.
However, at the banquet, those genius disciples of the Wang Clan didn't look at Shenlang with friendly eyes. Some of them were even ready to make a move, but they suppressed it under the signal of their elders.
Shenlang just smiled faintly. Why would he care about a bunch of useless people?
Only peerless geniuses like Zhao Jiuzhou and Chang Le Heaven could make Shenlang afraid. However, they would only grow stronger in the future. As for now, Shenlang could beat them.
Others thought that Shenlang was at the Transformation Void Realm, a junior. Without the protection of the Sword Saint and Won Jin-yang, Shenlang was nothing. However, they didn't know that if they were at the same level, even a peerless genius like Li Mubai wouldn't necessarily be Shenlang's opponent.
Back in the room, Won Jin-yang followed Shenlang in.
"What's the matter?" Shenlang asked doubtfully.
Won Jin-yang operated the power of his Primordial Spirit. After confirming that there was no one nearby, he said, "Here you are. King Yanluo asked me to give this to you."
Then, Won Jin-yang took out three drops of blood essence that were wrapped in Genuine Qi from his sleeve.
The three drops of blood essence wriggled under the Genuine Qi, as if they were struggling to break free from the shackles of the Genuine Qi.
Seeing the three drops of blood essence, Shenlang's expression changed.
These three drops of blood essence were given to Won Jin-yang by King Yanluo when no one was paying attention. During the banquet, Won Jin-yang was also invited to the table of the Insightful Emptiness Realm Experts.
After all, Won Jin-yang was ranked seventh on the Earth List. He was an expert even among the Insightful Emptiness Realm Experts. Wang Lin didn't dare to neglect him.
It was at that time that King Yanluo secretly gave him the blood essence.
Shenlang knew that these three drops of blood essence should have been left behind by the two people from the Blood Demon Sect who were killed by King Yanluo. The other drop should be the blood essence of the person from the Blood Demon Sect who was killed by Ximen Chuixue in the Martial City.
At that time, Shenlang had just improved his strength and hadn't stabilized it yet. Therefore, he had been keeping it with Ximen Chuixue.
After this period of stabilization, Shenlang was almost ready to absorb it.
