Chapter 139 - 139: Negotiations Among the Four Sects
Without the grand protective formation, it would be like a house without walls and doors, allowing anyone to come and go freely.
Sharing the arrangement method of the formation with others would be equivalent to handing over the keys to the door.
Others could identify the weak points and loopholes of the formation based on the deployment method.
Therefore, most sects had unique grand protective formations.
The Nascent Soul Stage represented the highest combat power within this realm, and the value of a grand protective formation capable of resisting Nascent Soul cultivators could be imagined.
Although all three sects had their own grand protective formations, who would complain about having more of them?
This was especially true for the Corpse Control Sect. Although their Mystic Yin Myriad Corpses Array could be moved and set up anywhere, it would leave their sect’s base unprotected.
If they obtained the deployment method for the Blood Sea Array, the Mystic Yin Myriad Corpses Array could be carried around, effectively adding another expert at the Nascent Soul stage.
The voice of the Blood God Sect Master resounded once again: “All disciples participating in the grand competition, step into the arena and select your opponents.”
Including Zhang Chen, a total of 119 people flew into the arena.
The Blood God Sect Master furrowed his brows, his gaze turning slightly cold. “Why is there one less disciple from the late Foundation Establishment stage participating on behalf of our sect?”
Elder Blood Flame on the high platform also frowned because he realized that the missing disciple was his eldest disciple, Gu Pingshan.
Wang Zongyan and his two companions showed expressions of anticipation, eager to witness the unfolding spectacle.
Yan Chengzhi gritted his teeth and stepped forward. If he wanted to replace Gu Pingshan, he had to assume certain obligations and responsibilities.
“Sect Master, Senior Brother Gu left the sect for some personal matters half a year ago and hasn’t returned yet.”
The Blood God Sect Master’s gaze turned even colder. If it weren’t for the presence of representatives from the other three sects, he might have already erupted in anger. “Since you are also at the late Foundation Establishment stage, you will take his place.”
“Yes.” Yan Chengzi didn’t dare to disobey and flew into the arena.
After everyone was here, the Blood God Sect Master waved his hand, and 40 plaques appeared out of thin air, floating above the arena.
Each plaque was enveloped in a mist of blood, obscuring their appearance.
The Blood God Sect Master explained, “The plaques bear numbers, and those who have the same number will be opponents in the competition. Disciples in the early Foundation Establishment stage will choose first.”
“Yes!”
A disciple of the Blood God Sect leaped up and grabbed a plaque. The blood mist dissipated, revealing the number on it. “I’ve chosen 12,” the disciple announced.
With someone taking the lead, the others followed suit.
Once all the disciples in the early Foundation Establishment stage had taken their plaques, the Blood God Sect Master waved his hand again, causing the plaques to fly back into the air, shrouded in blood mist, quickly changing their positions.
With their cultivation at the early Foundation Establishment stage, they couldn’t possibly see through and remember the locations.
“Now, it’s time for the disciples in the mid Foundation Establishment stage to choose their plaques.”
Zhang Chen casually grabbed a plaque and looked down. It had five characters on it.
After Zhang Chen announced the number, a disciple from the Corpse Control Sect smiled. “Fourth level of Foundation Establishment? Seems like I got lucky.”
If he wasn’t afraid of angering the Blood God Sect Master, he would have even asked if the Blood God Sect had no one else and had to rely on someone at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment to make up the numbers.
Zhang Chen noticed the other party’s gaze, but he ignored it.
With his cultivation at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, standing in the arena indeed attracted a lot of attention. Many disciples from the other three sects had been secretly sizing him up earlier.
After the plaques were chosen by the disciples in the late Foundation Establishment stage, the Blood God Sect Master collected the plaques. “The disciple who drew number one in the early Foundation Establishment stage remains, and the others can step down and wait.”
“Yes.” The crowd complied, flying off the arena, leaving only two disciples in the early Foundation Establishment stage who drew number one.
One of them was a disciple of the White Bone Hall, and the other was a disciple of the Nether Spring Sect.
“We cultivators of the demonic path don’t have so many rules. As long as we can win, we can use any means necessary, as long as we don’t hide our cultivation level. Therefore, in this grand competition, you can employ any methods you want.”
“Now, let the battle begin!”
The two individuals in the arena seemed to have reached an unspoken agreement. Without any communication, they simultaneously launched their attacks, seizing the opportunity to strike first.
As soon as the Blood God Sect Master finished speaking, they both made their moves against each other.
The disciple from the White Bone Hall shot out several bone spikes, fast and fierce, aiming directly at the vital points of the opponent. If they hit, it would either result in death or severe injuries. It was extremely ruthless.
As for the disciple of the Nether Spring Sect, he had concealed a ferocious ghost in his sleeve. With a flick of his sleeve, the malevolent spirit bared its fangs and claws, pouncing towards the opponent’s throat.
On the high platform.
Wang Zongyan felt somewhat dissatisfied with the Nether Spring Sect disciple’s act of secretly hiding a malevolent ghost in advance. It could be considered cheating.
Before he could speak, Xu Shuanghong from the Nether Spring Sect covered her mouth and chuckled seductively. “These two disciples are impressive. They have the charm of the demonic path.”
Hearing this, Wang Zongyan could not say anything further.
In the arena, both sides’ surprise attacks were successful but failed to eliminate their opponents.
The bone spikes hit the vital points of the Nether Spring Sect disciple, but strangely, he didn’t bleed.
The Nether Spring Sect disciple acted as usual, taking out the Hundred Ghosts Banner and waving it, releasing numerous ghostly entities. The arena instantly transformed into a realm of ghosts.
Just like biting into a tomato, the ferocious ghost easily bit through the throat of the White Bone Hall disciple.
The White Bone Hall disciple not only didn’t mind but also directly abandoned flesh and transformed into a 30-foot-tall White Bone Giant.
It was the White Bone Hall’s specialty, the White Bone True Body!
Those who could participate in this Demon Path Grand Competition were the cream of the crop among their respective sects, and the battles were intense and exciting, keeping the spectators thoroughly engaged.
The Blood God Sect Master wasn’t interested in the battles of the Foundation Establishment stage. He raised his hand and set up a barrier to block the sound.
“Some time ago, there was a conflict between my Blood God Sect and the Silver Moon Sect. You three should know about it,” the Blood God Sect Master began.
Wang Zongyan spoke up, “Blood God Sect Master, why don’t you state your point directly instead of beating around the bush?”
The Blood God Sect Master nodded. “I believe that the righteous path intends to attack the demonic path. The Silver Moon Sect’s invasion of my sect was merely a test by the righteous path. Next, they may launch a real attack.”
The three individuals furrowed their brows. “Are you suggesting there will be a war between the righteous and demonic paths?”
The Blood God Sect Master didn’t answer and continued, “When the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. If the Silver Moon Sect dares to occupy the Blood God Sect’s territory this time, they may wipe out your three sects next.”
So, the reason you invited us here, besides the demonic path competition, is to form an alliance with our three sects?
The three individuals guessed reasonably, but they were puzzled. How does the invasion of your territory result in the annihilation of our sects?
Due to the Blood God Sect Master’s high cultivation level in the Nascent Soul stage, they didn’t dare to oppose him and could only make excuses. “This matter is of great importance. We cannot make a decision now. We need to consult with our sect masters when we return.”
“I know you have a way to contact your respective sect masters. Why not do it now?” The Blood God Sect Master was very certain.
The three fell silent and didn’t answer.
The Blood God Sect Master was in no hurry and eagerly watched the battles below.
In the first match, the disciple from the White Bone Hall lost.
Although the White Bone True Body had formidable defense, it couldn’t withstand spiritual attacks.
The Nether Spring Sect specialized in manipulating souls, and their mental attacks were abundant, which led to the defeat of the White Bone Hall disciple..
