Chapter 377 Conversation
True Monarch Yuheng's attitude was very firm. After all, it was a decision made jointly by the immortal forces in the southeastern cultivation world, and no one else was allowed to question it. Zhang Lingyu and the other Golden Core cultivators had no room to resist.
Furthermore... this is also a good thing.
Since the great calamity of antiquity, the battle between the immortals and demons has lasted for thousands of years. Now that the demonic path is weak, it is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of their weakness and kill them.
Once the threat of demonic forces is eliminated, we can then focus on dealing with the demon race in the Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain Range.
If the forces of demons and monsters perish, the path of immortality will usher in an unprecedented prosperity.
As for what happened next, that's another story.
Seeing that no one had any objections, True Lord Yuheng took out a Netherworld Blood Pact and placed it on the table, saying calmly, "Everyone, this matter is of great importance and no one is allowed to leak it. I ask that you all sign the Blood Pact together."
The contract was simple: Zhang Lingyu and the other Golden Core cultivators present were not to reveal the contents of the meeting, not even to their relatives or trusted subordinates. They were to return and prepare for the eradication of the demonic path thirty years from now.
In addition to the Golden Core cultivators present today, those Golden Core cultivators guarding the passes will also sign the same agreement. Furthermore, all those who achieve Golden Core status within the next thirty years will be summoned by the Six Sects to sign the contract.
This shows that they really meant it this time.
Zhang Lingyu and the other Golden Core cultivators scanned the blood pact with their divine senses. After confirming that there were no problems, they all signed their names and dripped a drop of soul blood onto it.
After everyone present had signed, True Lord Yuheng's expression softened noticeably, and he smiled and said, "Since everyone has no objections, please increase the effort in training your disciples when you return, to prepare for what will happen thirty years from now."
The cultivators nodded in agreement, but one Golden Core cultivator raised a question: "May I ask, True Lord, this matter will not repeat itself, will it?"
Although no specific incident was mentioned, which cultivator present did not know the answer?
The conspiracy between Blood Dragon Stronghold and the Chu Kingdom's demonic sect, which involved signing the Netherworld Blood Pact, should have been undetectable to anyone, yet it was exposed without a single word by a person with extraordinary abilities, demonstrating the extent of their power.
Without this news, the Zhao Kingdom would have lost far more than thirteen Golden Core cultivators; the casualties would likely have been much greater.
Even the destruction of the Xuan You Elder's physical body was due to this person's efforts.
While the leak of information about the demonic conspiracy benefited the immortal path, the thought of it now fills me with dread.
It should be understood that the Netherworld Blood Pact is recognized by the will of Heaven and involves many Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, who is proficient in divination, overdraws all of his lifespan, he still cannot obtain detailed information.
Those who cultivate immortality fear most unpredictable events, such as the appearance of something unknown and beyond their control.
"It is indeed a variable..."
Upon hearing this, True Lord Yuheng frowned slightly.
Just mentioning this person gives them a terrible headache. They desperately want to know who this incredibly powerful person is, but even with the combined efforts of the entire Southeast cultivation world, they can't get the slightest bit of information.
In the end, the only explanation is that the person was a Nascent Soul cultivator who was living in seclusion in the Zhao Kingdom or traveling here. He kindly helped them because he couldn't stand the evil forces and demons harming the common people.
After a long silence, the old man slowly said:
"Judging from the fact that this senior has intervened twice, he is undoubtedly a powerful immortal. Otherwise, he would never have been able to help. You don't need to worry, I think this senior will not interfere."
"Destroying the demonic path and the demon race would be a tremendous act of merit for both mortals and cultivators in the southeastern cultivation world. Perhaps this senior will even be able to help with it."
"Shall we then seek out this senior?"
"No need!"
True Lord Yuheng immediately and sternly refused.
Nascent Soul cultivators possess extraordinary abilities, and this person is an outstanding Nascent Soul old monster. It is already a great blessing that they were able to help them twice, but they should not disturb them. If they are angered, who knows what will happen?
Therefore, we can only pretend that nothing happened.
To put it bluntly, even if they searched, would they be able to find it?
Zhang Lingyu, who was at the bottom of the list, ate spiritual fruits and drank spiritual wine without any ripples in his heart. He just listened silently as this Nascent Soul cultivator packaged himself as a Nascent Soul old monster.
......
After discussing the two important matters, the crowd began to leave one after another. The chaos was over, but what remained was a mess, with many things still needing to be dealt with.
Zhang Lingyu also headed straight for the Good Deeds Pavilion, intending to return to his family after exchanging his items.
"Junior Brother Zhang, please wait."
Before they could even step into the main hall, someone called out to them.
Turning my head, I was surprised to see Bai Yuhuan.
"Sect Leader, Master."
Before the succession ceremony is held, Bai Yuhuan remains the head of Yuguang Pavilion.
"Junior Brother Zhang, your achievements in this great battle are outstanding, bringing great honor to the sect!"
The man was genuinely surprised by Zhang Lingyu's series of actions.
It's unbelievable that a kid who just broke through to the Golden Core stage could kill Xue Yang, who was already famous in the Blood Flame Sect. Although it's rumored that he did it in concert with Song Siyu, how could the sect leader not know the details?
Lingyue Mountain and Xuelong Village need no introduction, but their achievements at Huohuai Mountain in Wu Kingdom are even more remarkable.
In retrospect, we underestimated its strength considerably when we were in the main hall; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say we misjudged it.
"For a Golden Core cultivator from a humble Foundation Establishment family to possess such formidable abilities, it seems he has encountered numerous fortuitous opportunities along the way."
Such an impressive record would arouse suspicion in anyone. After the chaos ended, Bai Yuhuan conducted a special investigation into Zhang Lingyu.
It was discovered that this person had never left the Zhao state before achieving the Golden Elixir, and had even wandered around the counties of Tianshui, Yanxing, Yingchuan, and Linhai.
Based on the timing and Song Siyu's performance on Qingya Mountain, he could conclude that this person must have benefited from part of the Lingkui Sect's inheritance to achieve what he has today.
As for the others, apart from the Spirit Puppet Sect, which is worth mentioning, there are hardly any other places where experts have left their cave dwellings.
Although the investigation was completed, Bai Yuhuan was extremely disappointed.
I initially thought the other party had inherited the legacy of some great master, but now it seems... they just had a bit of luck.
The inheritance of the Spirit Puppet Sect is an incredible opportunity for independent cultivators, but it is nothing to the behemoth that is the Jade Light Pavilion, or rather, it is not even worth mentioning.
"Sect Leader, you flatter me. It's just a few minor tricks..."
"Regardless of the methods used, a battle record is a battle record."
Bai Yuhuan chuckled twice and continued, "Junior Brother Zhang, I see that your aura is weak, so I guess your injuries haven't fully healed. This is a fifth-grade healing pill, which will speed up the healing process."
"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader." Zhang Lingyu did not refuse and put it into his storage bag.
His eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "Sect Leader, please speak frankly. If Lingyu can be of any help, I will do my utmost."
The other party is a sect leader, and he wouldn't approach me without a reason; he must have some ulterior motive.
Zhang Lingyu was extremely wary. The man in front of him slowly said, "That's right, I do have something I'd like to ask Junior Brother Zhang."
"Junior Brother has slain two great demon kings; he should still have their demon cores in his possession."
