With the existence of the "Soul" Heavenly Tome, even if Xue Darkheaven entered the Blood Sea, Chen Luoyang would not be cut off.
In the following days, the leadership of the Blood River Lineage would most likely be in the hands of Xue Cangsheng and the other elders. Although it was uncertain who it would be, and whether a new generation of Blood River Patriarch would be born.
But for Xue Darkheaven, there was not much to do next. He could just slowly recuperate in the Blood Sea with everyone else. How could he not grasp such a rare opportunity?
When the time was right, success would come naturally.
Although the Blood Sea was independent and hidden, it could not avoid the influence of the mortal world.
The situation of the mortal world was closely related to the Blood River Lineage.
Before that, Xue Darkheaven could slowly accumulate.
Chen Luoyang looked calm. Silence, he looked at the Void above.
After the battle with Blood River Patriarch, the situation did not immediately ease. Instead, it became even more tense.
The several magnates had divided into different camps and were in a state of confrontation.
The North Sea Yanran Mountain Master had fled, and the North Sea Sword Master had also left.
Among the four magnates present, the old Sword Immortal retracted his sword light and stood in place in Silence.
He was already seriously injured, and after the battle just now, his injuries seemed to have worsened.
His recuperation after returning to the sect had been in vain. His current condition was even worse than when he was in Zhengyang City.
The East Zhou Empress looked calm as she stood silently beside the old Sword Immortal. As usual, there were a few pecans between her fingers, but she did not peel them. She just played with them.
Her gaze was calm as she moved between the Hierarch of the Ancient God, Jiang Yi, and the Temple Master, Yu Qingniu. Then, she looked down at Chen Luoyang.
Jiang Yi's smile remained on his face, and the Green Bull Monastery Master was similarly nonchalant.
Their gazes also moved down from the old Sword Immortal and the Empress to look at Chen Luoyang on the ground.
Although there was a difference in cultivation level, they were still looking down at the ground from midair.
But the magnates were looking at Chen Luoyang with great caution. They did not have a condescending attitude.
On the ground, Chen Luoyang was greeted by the gazes of several powerhouses. He remained calm and composed, without any trace of embarrassment.
Facing the gaze from above, he responded with a faint smile.
After the gazes of the four great leaders swept past Chen Luoyang, they withdrew their gazes in unison and looked at each other once more.
The old Sword Immortal cupped his fists towards Jiang Yi and Temple Master Green Bull. "I thank Hierarch Jiang and Temple Master Yu for their help."
Jiang Yi smiled. "Patriarch Blood River is too ambitious and selfish.
In terms of ambition, he had already obtained three out of the Twelve Netherworld Swords, and gradually, no one could stop him.
To be honest, he had deserted during the battle with the Sky Demon in Zhengyang City.
This kind of person causes great disasters, we can't let him go. "
"Regardless of the friendship between us in the past, we are all part of the Righteous Path. It is only right for us to help each other out. Elder Yun, you don't have to be so polite." Temple Master Green Bull said plainly, "I was in seclusion previously and couldn't make it to Zhengyang City's encirclement against the Sky Demon. I have always felt regretful. Since Blood River is in chaos today, I naturally had to rush over to lend a hand."
The old Sword Immortal thanked the two of them again. "Although Xue Cangqiong was executed, there are still remnants of Blood River. Although the Sky Demon retreated that day, it won't take a hundred years for them to rise again. I believe they will make a comeback very soon.
I wonder if the two of you have the time to visit me? Firstly, I would like to thank the two of you for your help. Secondly, we can discuss further on how to deal with the Sky Demon's return. "
"The recent series of unforeseen events are too much for the eyes to take in. I need to sort things out again." Jiang Yi said, "Once the matters at hand are settled, I will definitely visit Elder Yun again. However, I won't stay any longer today. I hope Elder Yun can forgive me for my rudeness."
Temple Master Green Bull said, "I won't stay any longer either. I have some clues regarding the Sky Demon that I need to investigate. Once I have concrete information, I will discuss it with the two of you."
The old Sword Immortal nodded. "In that case, I won't keep the two of you any longer. Let's meet again another day."
The four powerhouses gradually dispersed in the sky.
The Empress continued protecting the old Sword Immortal while Jiang Yi and Temple Master Green Bull split up and left.
"In your opinion, did Jiang Yi obtain the item he wanted?" The Empress crushed the pecan shell in her hand and sent the kernel into her mouth, speaking as she ate.
She had clearly seen some of Patriarch Blood River's treasures fall into Jiang Yi's hands.
She had also obtained a portion, but after handing it to the old Sword Immortal to identify, he shook his head, indicating that the item Jiang Yi wanted was not with them.
"It's still hard to determine if Jiang Yi obtained it himself." The old Sword Immortal shook his head gently and sighed slightly.
"There's no harm in saying it now." Slowly, the old man said, "Jiang Yi's soul is different."
The Empress chewed and did not make a sound. She quietly listened to the old Sword Immortal continue.
"There was once a holy land named Blue Cloud House. You should still have an impression of it," said the old Sword Immortal.
The Empress's cheeks bulged a few times as she nodded.
"The founder of Blue Cloud House, the first house master, Yang Qingshi, was a good friend of mine. A hundred years after he established Blue Cloud House, he died in an accident." The old Sword Immortal sighed and said, "I remembered that Blue Cloud House was his blood, sweat, and tears, so I took care of it. Fortunately, Blue Cloud House soon produced a young talent that rose to prominence, allowing the holy land's prestige to continue."
The so-called young talent was, of course, relative to that era.
To the current Empress, it was something that happened a few hundred years ago.
"Unfortunately, that young man, who was also the second house master of Blue Cloud House, also died before he was two hundred years old," said the old Sword Immortal.
The Empress nodded. She had heard of this matter.
But now, it seemed that there was a hidden story, which was also the reason why the old Sword Immortal mentioned this matter again today.
As expected, the old Sword Immortal continued, "His soul also had a special characteristic. It was innately extremely tough, but it often trembled on its own and was difficult to suppress. It was also known as the Heaven Soul Tremor.
At first, it wasn't a big deal, and it wouldn't affect him from inheriting Yang Qingshi's legacy, cultivating an astonishing skill, and looking down on the world.
But no one would have thought that there was a kind of treasure that complemented and countered it. It was a good medicine to treat the loss of control of his spirit tremor, but it could also possibly become a shackle that restrained and controlled him. "
When the Empress heard this, she frowned slightly.
She stopped munching on melon seeds. "Now that you mention it, I have an impression. There was once a record in the ancient records of the imperial clan. Is it the Origin Demon Return Stone?"
"That's right, it is this treasure," the old Sword Immortal said. "This treasure fell into the hands of Black Snow at that time."
The Empress nodded.
About a few hundred years ago, Black Snow Old Man was an unparalleled old demon that rampaged through the world. He was one of the top 10 elites of the Demonic Path of the world at that time, a big shot of an area.
Later, because he refused to lower his head to Heavenly Demon Ye, he died at Heavenly Demon Ye's hands.
Black Snow Old Man was a ruthless character of the Demonic Path of that era.
He held the Origin Demon Return Stone in his hands, so he naturally wouldn't do a good deed and directly give the treasure to the second-generation house master of the Blue Cloud House.
To this old demon, the first thing he wanted to do was to use this treasure to control the second-generation house master of the Blue Cloud House, and turn him into a slave and puppet that obeyed his orders.
To Black Snow Old Man, there was no need for him to make a choice when he had the chance to make a big shot of the same cultivation level as him his slave.
"That house master would definitely rather die than submit." The Empress cracked open the melon seeds again.
"Indeed." The old Sword Immortal sighed. "Unfortunately, he died young. After the Blue Cloud House, there has never been a successor that could compare to him and Yang Qingshi."
"Jiang Yi also has this problem?" the Empress asked. "He is also afraid of the Origin Demon Return Stone?"
"More accurately speaking, if the Origin Demon Return Stone landed in his hands, not only would he not have any worries, but he would also benefit from it," the old Sword Immortal said.
"Black Snow Old Man died at the hands of the Heavenly Demon, and then Elder Yun led the elites of the mortal world to attack and defeat Heavenly Demon Ye. Xue Cangqiong also participated in that battle," the Empress said. "Thus, the Origin Demon Return Stone went from Black Snow Old Man to the Heavenly Demon, and then flowed into the blood river?"
The old Sword Immortal nodded slightly. "That's right. However, that kind of heavenly soul trembling phenomenon is rarely seen in this world. I've lived for over 1,000 years, and I've only seen that once.
And this Origin Demon Return Stone doesn't have any other use. It's only useful against people with heavenly soul trembling phenomenon. Xue Cangqiong usually doesn't have any use for it, so he can only keep it and wait for an opportunity. "
"After so many years, there's only a second, and it's Jiang Yi of the Ancient God?" "However, by the looks of it, the phenomenon of Heaven's Soul trembling is very difficult to detect from the outside. With the precedent set by the master of the Azure Cloud House, Jiang Yi must have also paid attention to concealing it. Thus, no one was able to detect it before."
There was only one exception.
Mister Tianji.
After learning this secret, Mister Tianji didn't make it public.
If Xue Cangqiong found out, he would definitely use the Origin Demon Return Stone to deal with Jiang Yi.
Of course, Mister Tianji wasn't concerned about Jiang Yi, but he was worried that Patriarch Blood River would gain a huge helper out of nowhere, making it even more difficult to deal with.
Back then, the second-generation house master of Blue Cloud House sacrificed himself for a noble cause, but that didn't mean that Jiang Yi would definitely have a chance.
If he died, Mister Tianji wouldn't mind, and there would be one less Red Dust Demon.
However, if he were to be controlled by Patriarch Blood River while he was alive, Mister Tianji definitely didn't want to see that happen.
If there had to be a comparison between Blood River and the Ancient God, there was no doubt that Blood River was much more anti-human.
On the other hand, if Jiang Yi obtained the Origin Demon Return Stone, her strength might improve further, which wasn't what Mister Tianji wanted.
Moreover, unless it was absolutely necessary, he wasn't willing to cooperate with a big shot of the Demon Dao.
Because after learning about this, the matter was put on hold.
Whether it was Patriarch Blood River's possession of the Origin Demon Return Stone or Jiang Yi's heavenly soul trembling phenomenon, it was still a secret.
Just in case, Mister Tianji left the Eight Trigrams Jade Plate with his most trusted friend, the old Sword Immortal, as a foundation.
In the end, he didn't expect that it would really be him who met with a life-and-death calamity first.
Now that the old Sword Immortal mentioned it again, he couldn't help but feel gloomy.
"Under normal circumstances, would Patriarch Blood River carry the Origin Demon Return Stone with him when it's useless?" The Empress peeled a hazelnut and tossed the kernel into her mouth.
