"Purple Sun Old Demon" Yuan Shuang's voice was still undisguised, spreading in all directions. No matter who it was, they could all hear it clearly.
However, when they saw his appearance, the hearts of the knowledgeable people moved slightly.
Purple Sun had already cultivated to the ninth realm of the demonic path, and his demonic soul could disintegrate into a clone.
In the entire Chang 'an, there were many cultivators in the ninth realm.
Some had even broken through to the ninth realm.
However, the number of demonic path cultivators was still relatively small.
Other than the mysterious Mr. Long, there seemed to be no one above the eighth realm of the demonic path.
Now that Purple Sun had broken through to the ninth realm, he was probably second only to Mr. Long in the entire Chang 'an.
No wonder he challenged Blood Shadow this time.
He wanted to clarify who the second most powerful person in the demonic path in Chang 'an belonged to.
Although Purple Sun lost when they were both in the eighth realm, now that he was suppressing others with his realm again, it was hard to say who would win.
Although Blood Shadow had been cultivating in seclusion recently, those who were familiar with the situation knew that he had just broken through to the eighth realm from the seventh realm more than a year ago.
Demonic path cultivators couldn't advance by leaps and bounds in a short time like Buddhism and Confucianism.
Blood Shadow had just reached the eighth realm more than a year ago, and it was basically impossible for him to break through to the ninth realm in a short time.
In addition to treasures, Chang 'an would also reward people with cultivation methods.
Therefore, everyone fought bravely to be the first, and many people broke through their previous bottlenecks and succeeded in reaching the next level.
However, to some extent, everyone only had a chance to reach the "first level" in a short time.
It was not impossible to continue to go up, and the chances were much greater than before.
However, after reaching the first level, everyone needed to cultivate seriously again. It was too difficult to continuously make big strides, except for Buddhism and Confucianism.
Blood Shadow's chance to reach the "first level" was equivalent to going from the seventh realm to the eighth realm.
It was for this reason that Purple Sun had the confidence to challenge him.
At the same time, in the eyes of other people in Chang 'an, Blood Shadow was slightly underestimated.
In many people's minds, Blood Shadow had achieved his current status mainly because he had followed His Majesty for a long time. His Majesty cherished old friendships.
But in terms of strength and ability, even if the other four gentlemen were excluded, the number of people who could defeat the old devil could be counted on one hand.
However, Purple Sun's provocation of Blood Shadow was not without worries in some people's minds.
Mister Dark Cloud was not on good terms with Old Demon Blood Shadow, and this was something that many people knew.
However, how His Majesty viewed Purple Sun's challenge was another question.
If Purple Sun did not consider it, there would be others who would.
However, this didn't stop everyone from looking at the two purple suns that were close to Sky City and waiting to watch the show.
In Sky City, Xie Zhao looked uneasily at the old devil in front of him.
However, he discovered that Blood Shadow's expression was the same as usual, without the slightest fluctuation. He just said indifferently, "They're here."
His voice was not loud, but it still spread far and wide.
As if nothing had happened, the Old Devil instructed Xie Zhao, who was next to him, "When this old man returns, continue reporting."
"… Yes, sir."
The other party was so calm that Xie Zhao could not come back to his senses for a moment.
The young Taoist priest had some conjectures in his heart, but he also felt that they were absurd.
Blood Shadow had already disappeared in front of him.
The next moment, the figure of the old man in red appeared in midair outside Sky City.
Blood Shadow looked calmly at the two purple-gold suns that had risen into the sky.
"Let's begin."
Purple Sun's voice rang out from the two purple-gold suns at the same time. "Thank you so much, Mr. Blood Shadow!"
As he spoke, a fierce fire dragon rushed out from one of the purple-gold suns, its body wreathed in purple flames.
The fire dragon rushed in front of Blood Shadow and directly swallowed him whole.
However, in the next moment, the purple-gold dragon's body began to twist and tremble.
As it trembled, blood veins pierced out of its body.
In a split second, thousands of blood veins appeared on the purple-gold dragon's body, as if thick red hair had grown all over its body.
Then, the purple-gold dragon's body was torn apart, turning into a sea of blood.
Blood Shadow's figure reappeared in the sea of blood. His expression was calm, neither happy nor angry.
"Is that all, Purple Sun?"
In Sky City, Xie Zhao and the others who were watching the battle were shocked.
To be able to so easily defeat the Level Nine demon Purple Sun's demonic technique, Blood Shadow must have also reached Level Nine.
Moreover, he was more powerful than Purple Sun.
The spectators were shocked, but Purple Sun, who was facing his opponent directly, was even more affected.
He looked at his opponent in the sea of blood, dumbfounded. "… How is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible for His Majesty," Blood Shadow said indifferently.
The remaining purple-gold dragon froze on the spot, unable to advance or retreat.
He suddenly flew even higher into the sky. "I know my mistake, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
However, just as his figure moved, Old Demon Blood Shadow's figure also moved.
The sea of blood that covered half the sky suddenly split into pieces.
In the next moment, the split sea of blood turned into five identical blood phoenixes. They rushed into the sky and killed the purple-gold dragon in the middle.
Purple Sun begged for mercy.
Blood Shadow was unmoved. "You didn't deserve to die for finding trouble with me, but you questioned His Majesty's arrangements, so you deserved to die!"
The five blood phoenixes gathered again in the sky, forming a sea of blood that swallowed the lone purple-gold dragon.
The purple-gold dragon occasionally peeked out of the sea of blood and struggled.
But soon, the sea returned to normal.
Then, the sea of blood disappeared, leaving only Blood Shadow's figure.
His words when he killed Purple Sun not only echoed in Sky City, but also in Chang 'an City below.
Everyone in the city was shocked when they heard that.
Blood Shadow didn't return to Sky City immediately. Instead, he continued to move upward toward Daming Palace.
Zhang Dongyun granted his request for an audience.
The Old Devil appeared in the palace and bowed to Zhang Dongyun. "If it wasn't for Your Majesty's guidance, I wouldn't have killed him. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"Get up," Zhang Dongyun said.
Old Demon Blood Shadow rose to his feet. "A Ninth Level cultivator would be of some use to Your Majesty's hegemony, yet he was killed by this old servant. This is this old servant's fault. I implore Your Majesty to allow this old servant to atone for his crime by performing meritorious service and serving the lives of two people with my power alone."
"So what if someone who doesn't know the rules dies?"
Zhang Dongyun's tone was flat. "You, on the other hand, can't slack off because of this."
Blood Shadow quickly thanked him. "I dare not. I will cultivate diligently in hopes of breaking through to a higher realm and cultivate the true body of the devil so that I can serve Your Majesty."
Zhang Dongyun made a sound of acknowledgment. "You may leave."
Blood Shadow kowtowed again and left.
Then, he reappeared in the City in the Sky. However, he saw an old man in black in front of him.
"You want to stand up for Purple Sun?" the Old Devil asked coldly.
It was Mr. Dark Cloud.
Hearing this, he smiled. "Those who disobey His Majesty deserve to die."
Old Demon Blood Shadow nodded. He did not say anything and simply walked past the other party.
"I want to remind you that you have to continue working hard." Mr. Dark Cloud said, "Zhou Di just reported that Cao Ranran of Mingyuan Academy has cultivated to the Confucian Grandmaster level."
Blood Shadow heard this and said indifferently, "Got it."
Higher cultivation of the devil also meant that it was easier to be disturbed by demon blood and lose control.
Being in Chang 'an City, Blood Shadow naturally didn't have to worry about this.
However, his state of mind gradually changed in another direction.
He became quieter and colder.
Seeing Blood Shadow return, Xie Zhao couldn't help but be on high alert.
At the same time, other people also arrived in Chang 'an.
It was Perfected Huifang, the head of Fulu Palace, the number one sect in Chendao.
He was summoned here, and in the end, he witnessed the battle between Old Demon Blood Shadow and Old Demon Purple Sun.
Perfected Huifang didn't think much of Blood Shadow's status in Chang 'an.
However, after seeing Blood Shadow break through to Realm Nine and kill Purple Sun, who was at the same realm as him, Perfected Huifang couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
On the one hand, Perfected Huifang felt ashamed of his inferiority when he saw Blood Shadow kill an opponent at the same realm as him.
On the other hand, Perfected Huifang was also shocked that Blood Shadow could break through to Realm Nine in such a short time.
There was nothing that His Majesty couldn't do …
Was it all because of the City Lord of Chang 'an that he was able to achieve what he had today?
That Purple Sun Old Demon truly deserved to die.
Speaking of which, His Majesty was nostalgic. Since he placed Blood Shadow in that position, others couldn't dream about it anymore.
Everyone could only strive to be like Blood Shadow and not think about replacing him.
When His Majesty stopped paying attention to him, his status would truly be shaken.
Before that, even if his cultivation was completely crippled, he would still be one of the five masters in Chang 'an. His power and status were as stable as Mount Tai.
Moreover, with his current strength of killing Purple Sun, there were only a few people in Chang 'an who could defeat him.
There were more than one or two people who had this thought.
Today, all the doubts about Mr. Blood Shadow had disappeared.
Perfected Huifang no longer paid attention to others and focused on his own trip.
He arrived at Sky City and asked to see Mr. Dark Cloud.
Beside Mr. Dark Cloud, he saw another Daoist priest.
It was Meng Shen, the head of a famous Daoist sect in the Land of Tang.
The other party didn't deliberately hide his cultivation strength.
Perfected Huifang observed carefully and vaguely felt that Meng Shen had been reborn.
"Fellow Daoist Meng, you have now cultivated the body of a Perfected Person."
Mr. Dark Cloud's casual tone confirmed Perfected Huifang's guess.
Perfected Huifang nodded. "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Meng."
"It was just a fluke. Thank you, Fellow Daoist."
Meng Shen himself was a little emotional. "It's all thanks to Chang 'an, His Majesty, and Mr. Dark Cloud's guidance."
Like Purple Sun and Blood Shadow, he was able to break through from the eighth realm to the ninth realm because of Chang 'an's guidance.
Perfected Huifang was even more excited when he heard this.
Li Jie, Zhuo Zui, and the current Cao Ranran were able to break through to the ninth realm because of Chang 'an's help.
Then, he wasn't without hope.
As long as he could make enough contributions …
Thinking of this, Perfected Huifang took a deep breath and bowed to Mr. Dark Cloud. "May I know why Chang 'an summoned me here?"
