Chapter 353 All Moved Out
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you want me, Zhang, to join the demonic path?"
Zhang Lingyu's tone suddenly turned cold, and a hint of killing intent rose in her heart...
What kind of place was the State of Chu?
A den of demons.
Demonic cultivators roam everywhere, and mortals are treated like pigs and sheep. Any aristocratic families or sects there, unless they are related to the five sects of the Blood Flame Sect, might be fine one day, but the next day they might be harvested as blood and qi.
Even if they can reproduce for decades or centuries, it's not because of good luck, but because it's simply not harvest time yet...
Golden Core cultivators and their affiliated families and sects are unlikely to be affected, as they are rare combat forces.
If he were to truly surrender, the five sects of the Bloodflame Sect would be overjoyed, but he was unwilling.
Although I am not a good person, both the immortal path and the demonic path can seek longevity and climb the Great Dao, but the demonic path techniques often cannot be separated from the cultivation of blood and qi.
That's one point. Another is, what will happen to the family after he leaves?
Once he surrenders to the demonic path, the six sects of Zhao will surely be enraged. The case of Blood Dragon Stronghold is right before their eyes. He is still a guest elder of Jade Light Pavilion. The Zhang family will surely be razed to the ground, and the mortals under his rule will be enslaved for eternity.
Even if they could bring their families along, how long could their families prosper in an environment like Chu?
Once one is plotted against and killed by a demonic sect, there will truly be no turning back.
If, as Jiang Shuyan said, the Zhao Kingdom is indeed defeated, he would rather lead his family to the East Sea than surrender to the Chu Kingdom...
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, there's no need to say more. Even if there's truly no way out, I, Zhang, will not turn to the demonic path. I have my own way out. If you utter another word, I will surely kill you today."
The cold words sent a shiver down Jiang Shuyan's spine; her lips parted slightly, but no sound came out...
This statement is not a lie; the other party has already decided to kill.
She understood what Zhang Lingyu was worried about; it was nothing more than his inability to let go of his family and his own bottom line.
After a long pause, she spoke again, "I am truly worried about your safety, fellow Daoist. But since you are unwilling, I will not try to persuade you further. Please just pretend you didn't hear me..."
She paused, then continued:
"But now that we're separated by two different camps, it would be really unreasonable for us not to fight each other when we meet."
Jiang Shuyan was ordered to guard Blood Dragon Stronghold. Now that Blood Dragon Stronghold has been destroyed and she has returned unharmed, she will surely be punished by Elder Xuanyou.
Furthermore... she also wanted to see just how much difference there was in their strength after breaking through to the Golden Core stage. She still harbored resentment about the scene of her defeat in the Heavenly Mystery Hermit's inheritance cave back then.
As soon as they finished speaking, the environment around them suddenly changed.
Above the heavens, a floating celestial palace slowly appeared in the sunlight. As celestial music flowed, graceful figures began to emerge between the heavenly palaces and on the rainbow bridges of the clouds.
Those figures descended from the heavenly palace to the mortal world, landing beside Zhang Lingyu, either stroking his chest or breathing into his ear, causing ripples to spread across his heart, making him unable to resist falling into their embrace.
Without a doubt, they had entered Jiang Shuyan's illusion.
"clang!"
Zhang Lingyu drew his sword.
A crisp sword cry suddenly rang out between heaven and earth, and all the celestial palaces and fairy maidens exploded like bubbles.
When the illusion dissipated, he looked at the woman in the distance who seemed to be smiling, and without hesitation, he sent out several sword energies.
......
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Shuyan's figure vanished without a trace, leaving only a figure in green standing quietly in the sky.
There's a surprise in Chapter 353, where everything is cleared out. Click here to unlock it now.
Zhang Lingyu's face was somewhat pale, clearly indicating that he had suffered some injuries. Looking in the direction the woman had left, he murmured, "After all, it is the sect's supreme technique of the Thousand Illusion Demon Palace. After breaking through to the Golden Core stage, coupled with the magic weapon made from that mirage pearl, the illusion technique has become much more sophisticated."
Although neither of them used their trump cards in their battle just now, it still ignited a fierce fire.
Especially with the continuous illusions, if it weren't for his strong divine sense, he might have actually fallen into them. Even so, he still had to pay a price to break through.
However, after absorbing several of his own sword energies and the Burning Yuan Heart Light, Jiang Shuyan's condition was also not good.
Of course, this was exactly what the woman wanted, so it could be considered killing two birds with one stone...
Zhang Lingyu put away his flying sword, and with a wave of his right hand, the storage bag hanging from Tu Xuan's waist flew into his palm. After burning the corpse to eliminate the traces, he quickly returned.
By the time they returned to Blood Dragon Stronghold, the protective formation had already been breached by the Golden Core puppets and cultivators from the six sects.
Apart from a few cultivators guarding the remnants of Blood Dragon Stronghold, the rest of the cultivators flew back and forth, constantly transporting large amounts of spiritual resources and items onto the spirit ship.
Blood Dragon Stronghold is a Golden Core level power. Although most of the good stuff is on Ge Qing, there are still plenty of resources for Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivation.
This time, Zhang Lingyu used a clever trick. A large portion of the cultivators who came were his own clansmen, so a large portion of the goods ended up in his own pocket.
He descended from mid-air, took out the array plate of the mountain-protecting array, and after retrieving all the array flags that were stuck on the spiritual vein nodes, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Unfortunately, this formation requires blood energy to reach its full potential, so it can't be used on Green Cliff Mountain..."
Even though it suffered some damage, it is still a mountain-protecting array. It can be sold for a lot of spirit stones. With a little more investment, we can buy a new mountain-protecting array for the clan!
After the formation was resolved, Mo Wuya, dressed in black, stepped forward, pointed at the remaining cultivators of Blood Dragon Stronghold, and said respectfully, "Master, all the remnants of Blood Dragon Stronghold are here. Please decide their fate."
"Kill them all, then collect the storage bags and corpses; I have a great use for them."
"I understand."
Mo Wuyai nodded in agreement, then looked at the family cultivators, including Zhang Xinghao and Zhang Lingtai, who were in charge of guarding the area, and they also nodded in response.
With a swift stroke of the knife, the entire valley erupted in heart-wrenching screams and curses...
But what's the use of that? After a while, everything will return to normal.
After the remnants of Blood Dragon Stronghold were all killed, a Zhang family cultivator hurriedly stepped forward and reported, "Master, my sister Yuan Yao sent me to report that she has discovered several secret vaults deep in the valley, but we cannot open them. Please help us, Master."
"Understood, just lead the way." Zhang Lingyu nodded.
All the valuable items of aristocratic families and sects are stored in their treasure vaults, just like the family's treasure pavilion. Naturally, the treasure vaults of Golden Core cultivators can only be accessed by Golden Core cultivators.
After spending nearly half an hour, the restrictions on the several secret vaults were broken one by one, and all kinds of rare and precious materials were put into Zhang Lingyu's storage bag.
Before attacking Blood Dragon Stronghold, the six sects promised that whoever broke through first would only need to hand over some of the rare and precious materials, and could deal with the rest themselves.
With that statement, he naturally didn't hold back at all.
As for the six cultivators from the six sects who accompanied him in destroying Blood Dragon Stronghold, in addition to the portion they had already divided among themselves, he would also appropriately bestow some upon them.
After all the spiritual resources had been transported, Zhang Lingyu immediately crushed the communication jade talisman in his sleeve, and then, after blowing up the Blood Dragon Stronghold's mountain gate, he led many cultivators away.
