142: Chapter 142 The Blackthorn Cult's Conspiracy

This time, Venerable Blood Bone had forcibly blocked this strike from Ji Taichang!

This caused Venerable Blood Bone's confidence to swell instantly, feeling that he was capable once again.

"Hehehe... Junior, do you really think my two hundred and fifty years of Dao cultivation are just for show?"

"Today, I will surely..."

Boom!!

Venerable Blood Bone's words came to an abrupt halt before he could finish.

A streak of incredibly intense Sword Qi shot into the sky, causing the entire world to pale in comparison, as if time and space had frozen in that instant.

That Sword Qi was too terrifying, and it was impossibly fast; even someone as strong as Venerable Blood Bone could not react at all!

The Cultivators of both the Blood Lotus Sect and the Qingyun Sect felt a flash of light before their eyes, as if thousands of suns had risen simultaneously, blinding them momentarily.

Ye Yuan, Luo Hongyi, and the other Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators were the first to regain their vision, and the scene that met their eyes made their scalps tingle!

Venerable Blood Bone, whose cultivation strength was comparable to the third level of the Soul Transformation Stage, had his body split into pieces by this sword strike and exploded with a roar!

Venerable Blood Bone's Soul was grabbed by Ji Taichang, refined in an instant, and thrown directly into the human emperor flag!

"No... Sect Master!!"

The eyes of everyone in the Blood Lotus Sect were filled with expressions of utter horror, and they could not help but let out sorrowful cries!

This scene was too shocking and terrifying, scaring them out of their wits!

That was a powerful expert at the Soul Transformation Stage, yet he had actually been killed in one strike by Ji Taichang!

"Run... run quickly!!"

Luo Hongyi's face turned deathly pale, and only one thought remained in her mind.

She turned and ran immediately, transforming into a streak of blood-colored light, traveling a thousand miles in an instant, preparing to flee the area.

It was not just her.

After the other Blood Lotus Sect experts realized what had happened, they all turned and fled immediately!

But as Luo Hongyi ran, she was horrified to discover that the ground beneath her feet was constantly receding.

Luo Hongyi swallowed hard and slowly turned her head, only to see the human emperor flag standing in mid-air, like an Incarnation of a black hole, releasing an astonishing devouring force!

The dozen or so Nascent Soul Stage experts of the Blood Lotus Sect could not escape at all; their bodies flew back uncontrollably, constantly disintegrating, until only their Souls remained to be collected into the human emperor flag!

"ten thousand soul banner!?"

Ye Yuan, Lin Xueyue, and the others were all shocked, looking at the flag emitting black Qi, feeling truly surprised.

They had not expected that Ji Taichang would actually possess such a Demonic Path evil weapon!

Ji Taichang took a step and entered the internal space of the human emperor flag.

He snapped his fingers, and the monstrous black Qi transformed into chains, piercing into the Souls of Venerable Blood Bone, Luo Hongyi, and the others, imprisoning them and constantly eroding their consciousness!

The human emperor flag was originally a Soul-type Magic Treasure, capable of forcibly controlling the Souls of others!

Coupled with Yun Qiyao's help, Ji Taichang quickly performed a forced Soul-search on Venerable Blood Bone and the others, focusing on reading their memories from recent years.

But the result of the Soul-search shocked both Ji Taichang and Yun Qiyao, their expressions turning extremely ugly!

The Blood Lotus Sect had only colluded with the Black Thorn Cult a month ago, and it was the Black Thorn Cult that had taken the initiative to provide them with resources, incorporating them into the Black Thorn Cult.

But that was not the main point.

According to Venerable Blood Bone's memories, the Heaven-Refining Blood Slaughter Array deployed by the Black Thorn Cult this time did not just cover the Great Wu Dynasty, but... it covered the entire Land of a Hundred Dynasties!!

The Black Thorn Cult was preparing to refine the hundreds of millions of living beings in the entire Land of a Hundred Dynasties in one fell swoop!!

To this end, the Black Thorn Cult had dispatched many experts and had already sealed off the Land of a Hundred Dynasties!

This refining process would take three days.

The Black Thorn Cult had given Venerable Blood Bone and the others one day to slaughter wantonly within the Land of a Hundred Dynasties; whether it was to Cultivate Demonic Technique or refine Demonic Path evil weapons, they had to withdraw from the Land of a Hundred Dynasties after one day.

"Master, things are dire!!"

Yun Qiyao's expression was extremely grave: "If the Heaven-Refining Blood Slaughter Array covers the entire Land of a Hundred Dynasties, its strength must be at least at the sixth-grade Void Refinement Stage level!!"

"Even with the wuji sword in hand, I fear it will be very difficult for us to break the Formation!!"

Ji Taichang frowned deeply: "Calculate again and see if you can find a glimmer of hope!!"

"Okay!!"

Yun Qiyao quickly formed seals with her hands, casting a mysterious and supreme Divine Ability, and began to calculate the secrets of heaven.

A moment later.

Yun Qiyao let out a muffled groan, her face turning pale, and her Soul dimming slightly; she had clearly suffered a not-insignificant backlash.

But there was a trace of joy on her face, and she quickly said: "Master, I have calculated it; the glimmer of hope lies in the Great Zhou Dynasty!!"

"The Great Zhou Dynasty... let's go!!"

Ji Taichang exited the human emperor flag, a decision made in his heart.

"Husband (Xiao Chang)!? Were those Demonic Path Cultivators just now members of the Blood Lotus Sect?"

"Why did the sky suddenly turn blood-red? What happened?"

"Old Ancestor is mighty! I didn't expect that even a great demon at the Soul Transformation Stage would not be a match for you in a single exchange; it's too strong! You are simply an existence like an Immortal..."

Lin Xueyue and the others from the Qingyun Sect all gathered around, their faces filled with confusion, worry, excitement, and other emotions, their expressions varied.

Ji Taichang said in a deep voice: "There is no time to explain. Pack your things immediately. Within half a quarter of an hour, everyone must evacuate the Sect with me and head to the Great Zhou Dynasty!!"

The expressions on the faces of Lin Xueyue and the others froze.

They had never seen Ji Taichang's expression so grave, so they knew the situation must be very serious!

"Yes!!"

The crowd did not dare to delay; they immediately conveyed the message, began packing their luggage, moving the Qingyun Sect's assets, and preparing to evacuate.

At the same time.

Ji Taichang also began to collect all the Medicinal Pill and Heaven And Earth Treasure within the Qingyun Sect that could repair Soul injuries and strengthen the Soul, dumping them all to Yun Qiyao to use!

Although the grade of these items was not very high, there was a lot of them!

Yun Qiyao's Soul became visibly more solid, lifelike, and her power was constantly recovering.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, this is the Black Thorn Cult's Heaven-Refining Blood Slaughter Array!!"

"This bunch of insane Demonic Path Cultivators, they are preparing to refine the entire Great Wu Dynasty!!"

Ye Yuan walked over, his expression also very grave, looking up at the sky.

He came from the world beyond the Ten Million Mountains, and his understanding of the Black Thorn Cult far exceeded that of ordinary people!

Ji Taichang shook his head: "It is not just the Great Wu Dynasty; this Heaven-Refining Blood Slaughter Array covers the entire Land of a Hundred Dynasties!!"

"W-what!?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuan's heart shook instantly, and he was so shocked that his scalp tingled!

If it only covered the Great Wu Dynasty, he would risk his old life, and he would still be confident of breaking the Formation to create a glimmer of hope for everyone in the Qingyun Sect.

But if it covered the entire Land of a Hundred Dynasties...

Such a massive Formation could not be at the fifth-grade Soul Transformation Stage level; it must be at least at the sixth-grade Void Refinement Stage level!!

This was simply not something a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator could break!

"Refining the entire Land of a Hundred Dynasties... has the Black Thorn Cult gone mad!!"

"With such conscience-less behavior, are they not afraid of being besieged by various Sects and Holy Land in the Eastern Desolate Region?"

Ye Yuan's face was slightly twisted; he was truly shocked by the Black Thorn Cult's behavior, which could be described as insane.
