"What do you mean? Shouldn't I have waited for you and brought my men in first? "The Blood Soul frowned.
"Shouldn't that be the case?" The Corpse Devil Ancestor laughed strangely.
"Maybe you've misunderstood me. I'm the Blood Soul. Although I'm closely related to the Youquan Blood Demon, I was nurtured by the Blood Cave. I don't intend to make the world mine after refining the Evil Source. Don't forget, the Youquan Blood Demon was too high-profile, and the Untainted Land people killed him. I don't want to repeat the same mistake. "
The Blood Soul paused, and then continued, "I didn't want to set you up. If I wanted to, I would have activated the formation when we first entered the sea. Naturally, I could have set you all as the targets of the sea monsters, and then defeated you one by one."
"Defeated one by one? That's easy for you to say! "
The Corpse Devil Ancestor sneered, "You could have defeated those righteous people one by one, but what happened in the end? Didn't they have so many people left? "
The Blood Soul didn't have much expression on his face, as if he didn't want to say anything about this matter. The Corpse Devil Ancestor said with hatred, "If you could have brought your men here when I sent Devil Heart to ask you for help, we could have discussed the countermeasure. Today, we wouldn't have lost so many people!"
"You sent Devil Heart to find me? Where did he go? "The Blood Soul frowned and asked.
"Cang Mountain," Devil Heart said.
"When did you get the news?" I wasn't at Grey Point Mountain for seven days, so how could I have received your message? "
The Blood Soul shook his head, and then said, "Don't worry about small things. We're all people who will achieve great things. Now, I have a suggestion. Are you willing to listen?"
After a few seconds of silence, the Corpse Devil Ancestor said, "Go ahead!"
"I don't know how much you know about the Evil Source, but I can tell you that the energy contained in the Evil Source here is enough to make ten cultivators at the Late-stage of Void Return to the Early-stage of Jin Xian!"
The Blood Soul's words made the Corpse Devil Ancestor's heart tremble. If what the Blood Soul said was true, then in a low-level plane like the Earth, such an evil source contained an enormous amount of energy.
Demonic cultivators were different from righteous cultivators. Not only could they increase the speed of their cultivation through some demonic arts, they could even eliminate bottlenecks where there should have been bottlenecks.
For example, after cultivating from the Return to Void Final Stage to the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage, one would encounter a bottleneck that required one to attain enlightenment in order to advance to the Jin Xian Pinnacle Stage. Just like Lei Feng, he had been stuck at this bottleneck for many, many years!
However, for some demonic cultivators, the bottleneck did not exist at all. They only needed enough Celestial Core Power or the evil energy needed for advancement. Of course, everything had its pros and cons. For example, this kind of cultivation advancement also had its own drawbacks.
"I think that our cooperation is the wisest thing to do right now! Once we've dealt with those righteous people, we'll split the evil source in the core fifty-fifty. What do you think? "The Blood Soul said.
"You plan to split the evil source with me?"
The Corpse Devil Ancestor was surprised. He thought that the Blood Soul only wanted to temporarily cooperate with them to deal with the righteous alliance. Once the righteous alliance was dealt with, it would depend on who had the ability to obtain the evil source.
However, the Corpse Devil Ancestor immediately understood. After all, the Blood Soul had too few people. If they did not cooperate with him, they would not be able to obtain even a little bit of the evil source.
"Yes, I plan to split the evil source with you." The Blood Soul said.
"With just the two of you, you plan to split the evil source with us. Don't you think that's a ridiculous request?"
The Corpse Devil Ancestor narrowed his eyes. Although he had found the reason why the Blood Soul wanted to split the evil source with him, he was cautious and did not believe that it was true! Therefore, he wanted to use this method to see the Blood Soul's reaction and deduce the credibility of the Blood Soul's words.
"This is not a matter of the number of people. Some of the contributions that I can make cannot be compared with the number of people. This contribution is called experience." The Blood Soul pointed to his head.
"Corpse Devil, I'm not in the mood to haggle with you. My cultivation base is now at the peak of the Void Return Stage. I don't need so much evil source to advance to Jin Xian. However, on this matter, we can either split it fifty-fifty or we can rely on our own abilities. I won't compromise. "The Blood Soul said.
"You don't need so much evil source to advance to Jin Xian? What do you mean? "The Corpse Devil Ancestor frowned.
"My pursuit is different from yours. You definitely want to stay in this world. Therefore, even if you obtain the evil source, you won't use it to advance your cultivation base. You will only use it to strengthen your demonic arts. But I'm different. I don't want to stay in this world. I feel that the development here is too limited. "
The Blood Soul raised his head. His eyes were unfocused, as if his dream was beyond the Nine Heavens.
"Advancing to Jin Xian means ascending to the Chaos Land. Now is the time when the Chaos Tribulation is happening. We can't even escape from the Chaos Land. You want to ascend to the Chaos Land?"
The Corpse Devil Ancestor shook his head, as if he didn't want to pay attention to the Blood Soul's strange thoughts. "Since you want to ascend to the Chaos Land, you don't need the evil source to advance from the peak of the Void Return Stage to the early stage of Jin Xian. Then, you can't bring the evil source from the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm. Why do you insist on splitting it fifty-fifty?"
"I have to answer to my subordinates. Apart from the part that I need, the rest of the evil source is for them." The Blood Soul said seriously.
"I didn't expect that you would treat your subordinates so well. I'm really in awe of you!" The Corpse Devil Ancestor laughed strangely.
"Cut the crap. Will you cooperate or not?" The Blood Soul was impatient.
"Cooperate? Why not?" The Corpse Devil Ancestor laughed.
"Fine. Since you've chosen to cooperate, from this moment on, let's put aside our schemes and enter the core of the Forbidden Land from the Oceanic Trench!"
The Blood Soul turned around and showed his back to the Corpse Devil Ancestor, as if he wasn't afraid of a sneak attack.
As for the Heart Demon Oath, the Blood Soul didn't mention it at all. For devils like him who could cultivate today and not tomorrow, the Heart Demon Oath was nothing.
The Corpse Devil Ancestor was stunned. He didn't expect the Blood Soul to be so straightforward. He frowned and immediately followed with his subordinates.
The Blood Soul and the Corpse Devil Ancestor had already entered the Oceanic Trench. A blood-red rotten fish swam out of the Oceanic Trench.
After the strange blood-red fish swam forward for a while, its originally swaying body quickly shot into the distance like an arrow.
At this moment, the members of the Alliance of the Righteous Sects were also standing at the edge of the Oceanic Trench. However, they were far away from the Blood Soul and the others.
Gu Zheng originally thought that the members of the Alliance of the Righteous Sects were like him, separated by the previous formation. However, that wasn't the case.
Master Xin Jing, the few people who died, and Gu Zheng were separated by the sea monster. As for the others, due to other reasons, they were separated into two groups and stayed together. However, since they were in a group, the suppression of the Immortal Power Sphere was greater. Coupled with the sneak attacks from the Blood Soul Sect and the Corpse Devil Ancestor, they had suffered heavy losses.
A total of twenty members of the Alliance of the Righteous Sects had entered the Oceanic Trench. Other than Gu Zheng who hadn't found them and Chen Yue who had returned to the surface of the sea, there were only eight of them left. These eight people were: Lao Ai, Master Yu Feng, Xuan Qizi, Xiahou Shan, Nangong Xiaofeng, Nun Xiao Jue, Kong Qing and Yu Yangzi.
Of the two groups, one was facing the forces of the Blood Soul and the other was facing the forces of the Corpse Devil Ancestor.
After Gu Zheng broke the formation, the Blood Soul, Old Demon Scarlet Pupil and the Smiling Evil Monk no longer entangled themselves with Lao Ai and the others. They escaped without lingering in the battle.
While the group led by Lao Ai was chasing after the Blood Soul and the others, they encountered the group led by Master Yu Feng. This group was being chased by the Corpse Devil Ancestor and the others.
The combination of the two forces immediately frightened the Corpse Devil Ancestor and the others into fleeing. Lao Ai and the others didn't continue the chase and came to the place where they stopped.
"We can't use our Divine Sense here. I wonder how Sect Master Gu is now."
When the Corpse Devil Ancestor and the others were chased away, Kong Qing was slightly injured. Now that his injuries had recovered, he opened his eyes and said.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine!"
Although he hadn't seen Gu Zheng, Lao Ai believed that nothing would happen to him. After all, he was the disciple of a Sage Immortal. If something happened to him, who wouldn't be in trouble?
"Hmph, don't be too optimistic. Even Master Xin Jing could fall. Anything is possible!"
In less than an hour, the three Immortal Cultivators under Xiahou Shan's command had all died in battle. This was something he hadn't expected! At this moment, he was in an extremely bad mood and said sarcastically.
"Xiahou Shan, I don't want to hear the same words a second time. If you say it a second time, don't blame me for not letting you off. When that time comes, you can forget about the world's situation!"
Lao Ai could still endure for the sake of the general situation. However, Xiahou Shan had mentioned Gu Zheng. This made Lao Ai very serious.
"Hmph."
Xiahou Shan snorted coldly and didn't say anything else. He was also injured, so he closed his eyes and seized the time to heal his injuries.
"Not seeing him doesn't mean that something has happened. The formation was broken for no reason. I think it's very likely because of Sect Leader Gu."
Master Yu Feng spoke. He, who was proficient in the Dao of Formations, admired Gu Zheng in this aspect. After all, when he was on Black Dragon Island, he didn't know much about formations. Gu Zheng already knew some of the characteristics of formations and dared to attack the lizard man in the formation. Before he could find a way to break the formation, Gu Zheng had already pointed out the point of breaking the formation to everyone.
"When we were in the sea monster formation, the battle line was too long. We can't use our Divine Sense to explore here. It's not strange that everyone didn't gather together! However, I believe that with Sect Leader Gu's methods, he'll definitely be fine. "
Master Yu Feng spoke again. Gu Zheng, this junior, had surprised him time and time again. In his eyes, Gu Zheng's status had risen again and again! As a result, Master Yu Feng no longer dared to treat Gu Zheng as a junior. In his heart, Gu Zheng was a mystery, a mystery that couldn't be explained with common sense!
"I'm back!"
Yu Yangzi, who was originally sitting cross-legged, stood up. The strange fish that swam over from the trench happily swam around him.
Yu Yangzi's Daoist name wasn't without meaning! However, before today, no one knew that he cultivated a mystical Immortal Technique called 'Fish Herding Technique'. Through this Immortal Technique, Yu Yangzi could make the fish his eyes and ears.
Although the strange fish wasn't a normal fish, it was still within the scope of the Fish Herding Technique.
After Yu Yangzi told everyone what happened at the trench, he said, "It's a pity that this fish doesn't have any intelligence, so it can only return to me. Only then can I know what it saw and heard. However, fellow Daoists, don't worry. Once we find a fish that meets the standard, we'll be able to know what's happening around them more quickly. "
Master Yu Feng nodded at Yu Yangzi, then looked at Sora Aoi, "Blood Soul wants to cooperate with Corpse Devil Ancestor. What do you think of this matter, fellow Daoist Ouyang?"
"Cooperation? I don't think it's possible! " Sora Aoi shook his head.
"I also don't think it's possible!"
Xuan Qizi also spoke. Although the others didn't speak, they all nodded in agreement. In their hearts, the Blood Soul was to complete what Blood Demon Youquan had failed to do. This was also their goal for the Blood Soul all along.
"Regardless of whether their cooperation is real or fake, we'll follow them first and act according to the circumstances!" Master Yu Feng said.
The gloomy trench was very deep. During the process of descending, Blood Soul and the others discovered that there were many resources unique to deep water growing on the walls of the trench.
Regarding those resources on the walls, Blood Soul and the others didn't touch them at all. It was as if their hearts weren't on them. On the other hand, Corpse Devil Ancestor's subordinates saw that some of the resources were of good quality and casually plucked them.
Blood Soul and the others finally reached the bottom of the ten thousand meters deep trench. They saw that the bottom of the trench was covered with scattered white bones. Most of them were the bones of marine animals. Of course, there were also human bones mixed in.
In addition to all kinds of bones, the cultivation resources here were even more abundant. They had all kinds of strange appearances.
"Roar …"
Strange cries came from all around. Many sea monsters with white bones drilled out of the sea mud and swam towards Blood Soul and the others.
"Attack!"
Corpse Devil Ancestor and the others saw that these sea monsters were also emitting a rotten smell. They thought that Blood Soul could control them, so they didn't attack. However, when Blood Soul spoke, he had already attacked.
"Can't you control these sea monsters?"
Corpse Devil Ancestor used a bell-shaped immortal tool to smash a sea monster to pieces and asked Blood Soul with a frown.
"The Nine-colored Illusion Sonic Conch isn't omnipotent. It only works on a few special sea monsters."
Since Blood Soul explained, Corpse Devil Ancestor didn't ask any more questions. Soon, the group of people defeated the hundreds of sea monsters.
The Nine-colored Illusion Sonic Conch flickered with a faint light. Blood Soul continued to lead the way according to its guidance.
After walking on the seabed for about a minute, a huge cave appeared on one side of the cliff.
"This is the core of the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone. However, the core isn't just a simple cave. It's as complicated as a maze. After we enter, you must follow me closely. Otherwise, if you encounter something you shouldn't, you may encounter danger."
As Blood Soul spoke, Corpse Devil Ancestor extended his hand towards the entrance of the cave, only to be stopped by a colorless barrier.
"How do we break this restriction?"
Blood Demon Ancestor probed with his immortal energy, but couldn't find a way to break it.
"This restriction is a little troublesome to break. Wait a moment, I'll break it."
Blood Soul pressed his hand on the barrier and transmitted to Corpse Devil Ancestor, "Corpse Devil, the righteous path alliance's people are following us!"
Although the evil energy in the trench had increased in intensity, Blood Soul had the Nine-colored Illusion Sonic Conch to protect him. He didn't fear it at all.
"Where?"
Corpse Devil Ancestor was surprised, but he didn't look around. Everything outside was as normal as it could be. At such a close distance, even if the strands of evil energy were difficult to leave, divine sense transmission wouldn't be affected.
"They're still far away, but they're controlling a fish to follow us." Blood Soul said.
"A fish?"
Corpse Devil Ancestor's heart trembled. Ever since entering the trench, he'd always seen a strange fish with spikes on its body. He didn't think much of it before, but after Blood Soul's words, he felt that the fish was really strange. It couldn't be so coincidental that the fish would follow them all the way here.
"Yes, a fish."
Blood Soul casually placed the Nine-colored Illusion Sonic Conch next to the colorless barrier, as if it was needed to break the restriction. At the mouth of the Nine-colored Illusion Sonic Conch, a reflection appeared. The strange fish was the one Corpse Devil Ancestor suspected.
"Damned righteous path alliance. Someone actually has such a trick. But, how did you see through it? "Corpse Devil Ancestor asked.
"Corpse Devil, as the master of the Nine-colored Illusion Sonic Conch, I can control some demonized sea monsters. I can also sense some demonized things. This fish just happens to be in the range of my senses. I can sense that it's been tampered with."
"Blood Soul, since that's the case, what do you think we should do?"
"The righteous path alliance's people are just a bag of pus. Sooner or later, we'll have to squeeze them out!"
Blood Soul's hateful voice paused, then he sneered and transmitted, "Since they think they're smart enough to follow us, why don't we put on a show for them and catch them all in one go?"
Corpse Devil Ancestor thought for a moment, then said, "Tell me, how should we put on this show?"
"When I open the barrier, I'll suddenly attack you. Then, I'll take my people and quickly enter the core. Then, I'll pretend that the restriction has been restored, and you'll be trapped outside. The righteous path alliance's people will think that you're alone, and they'll be nervous that we've already entered the core. They'll definitely hurry over. Then, we'll come out and catch them all in one go. Wouldn't that be perfect? "Blood Soul said excitedly.
