123: Chapter 123 Young Sect Master Li Jiuyou

Over the next two days, Zhao Ruoan and the other two acted like the most patient hunters, lurking motionless in the dense forest above the valley and quietly observing the Blood Fiend Sect camp below.

For a Cultivator, going without food or drink for two days was nothing at all.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhao Ruoan repeatedly deduced the upcoming action plan in his mind, taking every possible accident into consideration.

At his signal, Qiuyin and Xiamo took turns meditating and adjusting their breath, maintaining their Peak condition at all times.

During these two days, there was not much movement in the camp below.

The Blood Fiend Sect Disciples spent their days guarding the "blood food", patrolling and standing guard, drinking and bragging, and waiting for orders from their Young Sect Master.

Until the dusk of the third day.

The anomaly finally occurred.

A Cultivator in a blood robe was seen hurriedly running from the depths of the valley, rushing into the center of the camp, and shouting at the two Foundation Establishment Stage leaders:

"Two Senior Brothers! The Young Sect Master has given an order! The time has come, prepare to activate the 'Blood Melting Spirit Formation'!"

Hearing this command, the entire camp instantly boiled over.

All the Blood Fiend Sect Disciples stood up, their faces revealing excited and cruel smiles.

The two Foundation Establishment Stage leaders looked at each other, and one of them sneered, "After waiting for so long, it's finally about to start!"

The other waved a large hand and ordered, "All Disciples listen up! To your positions! Bring all the blood food to the altar!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of Blood Fiend Sect Disciples responded in unison, then rushed like wolves and tigers toward the cages holding the Mortals.

They opened the cage doors and roughly dragged out the Mortals inside who were already scared out of their wits.

Cries, pleas, and curses merged into a cacophony.

But those Blood Fiend Sect Disciples turned a deaf ear, their faces showing only numbness and bloodthirsty pleasure.

They escorted over a hundred Mortals to a huge blood-colored Formation in the center of the camp that had long been inscribed.

The Formation was composed of countless eerie runes, exuding an ominous aura, with a bottomless blood pool in the center, rolling with viscous, unknown liquid.

"Do it!"

At the command of the Foundation Establishment Stage leader.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

With hands raised and blades falling, heads rolled to the ground one by one, and bright red blood spurted out, flowing along the lines of the Formation and merging into the blood pool in the center.

In a short moment, over a hundred living people were slaughtered like this.

The thick, unshakeable stench of blood and resentment surged into the sky, making the entire valley seem to turn into a living Hell.

"Ugh..."

On top of the mountain, seeing this tragic and inhumane scene, Xiamo could no longer hold back, ran to the side, and retched violently.

Qiuyin's pretty face was also pale, covering her mouth tightly, her eyes filled with anger and compassion.

Zhao Ruoan's expression was also gloomy enough to drip water.

Although he was no saint and never showed softness when killing people,

actions like those of the Blood Fiend Sect, willfully slaughtering innocent Mortals for Cultivation or to achieve a certain purpose, had completely touched the moral bottom line of a modern man like him.

"These beasts... they all deserve to die!"

He said word by word, his voice devoid of a trace of emotion, but the killing intent contained within it seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

Just then, after absorbing enough blood and resentment, the blood sacrifice grand Formation below began to officially operate.

"Hum—!"

The entire valley trembled violently for a moment.

A thick pillar of blood-colored light soared into the sky from the blood pool in the center of the Formation, heading straight into the clouds.

Amidst the blood light, countless phantom shadows of wronged souls wailing in pain struggled and floated, letting out shrill screams that made one's scalp tingle upon hearing them.

That pillar of blood-colored light circled in the air, and then, as if it had life, fiercely projected toward a specific direction in the deepest part of the Black Wind Mountain Range!

"It's done!"

"The grand Formation has started!"

The Blood Fiend Sect Disciples in the camp burst into a burst of fanatical cheers.

Zhao Ruoan's gaze also gazed toward the direction where the blood light shot.

His Divine Sense, like an invisible tentacle, closely followed that blood light.

Passing through layers of mountains and crossing ravines.

Finally, dozens of miles away, in front of a huge valley shrouded in endless thunder, he "saw" another group of people.

That group of people was small in number, only a dozen or so.

But every single one of them exuded a powerful and evil aura.

At the head was a young man wearing a black robe with gold edges, whose face was so handsome it was somewhat eerie.

He stood at the Peak of a mountain, standing with his hands behind his back, his black hair flying, and his pair of eyes were unexpectedly an eerie blood red.

He just stood there quietly, and a tyrannical, cold, terrifying Devilish Qi that seemed to devour everything emanated from him, causing the surrounding space to distort because of it.

Behind him stood several elders respectfully.

The aura of those elders was unfathomable, and they were all Demonic Path giants of the Golden Core Stage!

"That is... the Blood Fiend Sect Young Sect Master, Li Jiuyou?"

Zhao Ruoan's heart tightened slightly.

Although separated by dozens of miles, he could still feel the powerful pressure on the other party.

Divine Soul Realm!

Moreover, it was definitely not an ordinary Divine Soul Realm!

The feeling this guy gave him was even more dangerous than those Nascent Soul stage Peak masters he had encountered at the Sect grand competition back then!

"Born with a Demonic Physique, it truly lives up to its reputation."

Zhao Ruoan's eyes not only showed no fear, but instead burned with a strong Battle Intent.

This could finally be considered an opponent worth taking seriously!

At this moment, the blood-colored pillar of light formed by the sacrifice of hundreds of Mortal lives in the distance had roared over.

"Boom!"

The blood light fiercely bombarded the thunder domain shrouding the valley.

"Zhilala—!"

A piercing sound rang out.

Blood light and thunder light, two completely different forces, collided, eroded, and annihilated wildly.

The entire thunder domain became violent due to the impact of this external force.

Countless purple divine thunders as thick as water buckets danced wildly like crazy dragons, shattering the surrounding rocks into pieces.

However, under the continuous erosion of the blood light, the originally indestructible thunder domain barrier actually showed a trace of loosening, and its light dimmed a bit.

"Right now!"

Atop the mountain Peak, a sharp light flashed in Li Jiuyou's blood-red eyes.

He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a quaint, small black banner.

As soon as the small banner appeared, it grew in the wind, instantly transforming into a hundred-zhang-large banner. On the banner surface, patterns of thousands of demon gods roaring were embroidered, and a terrifying might that incited the Evil Qi of heaven and earth emanated from it.

"Ancient demonic treasure, Myriad Soul Banner! Guide the Earth Evil, combine with the blood sacrifice, break for this seat...!"

Li Jiuyou pinched a magic formula and pointed from afar at the large black banner.

"Rumble!"

The earth veins of the entire Black Wind Mountain Range seemed to be stirred up!

Endless black Evil Qi gushed out from the depths of the earth, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, frantically pouring into the Myriad Soul Banner.

Having obtained the blessing of the Earth Evil power, the might of the Myriad Soul Banner soared, transforming into an incomparably thick black pillar of light, merging with the blood-colored pillar of light in the sky. Above and below, they fiercely pincered that crumbling thunder domain!

"Crack... crack..."

Clear cracks began to appear on the thunder domain barrier.

Seeing that, the Nine Heavens divine thunder Restriction, which legendary powerful Cultivators could not cross, was about to be completely broken open!

A smile of holding victory in hand appeared on Li Jiuyou's face.

However, he did not notice.

Right in the Void Realm not far behind him, a figure emerged silently like a ghost.

It was precisely Zhao Ruoan!
