540: Chapter 533 Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect 540: Chapter 533 Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect Ye Qingqing took out four items.
One was a Secret Bone, complete with patterns and seemingly unused by anyone before.
Another was a stone slab, covered densely with strange, ghostly talisman-like symbols.
Additionally, there was a bright red fruit and a small copper mirror, the size of a palm.
She looked at Chen Hai and introduced them as if presenting treasures, “This relic is extrely ancient, said to be from the distant past.”
“Many have entered, but few items have been recovered – only a dozen or twenty pieces.”
“Regrettably, my strength was insufficient; I only managed to kill a dozen people and seized these four items.”
“I also encountered an opponent I couldn’t match, who chased for half a day…”
Ye Qingqing briefly shared the events that occurred while she was seizing these items with Chen Hai.
To her, killing and looting seed already a familiar path.
Similarly, being pursued due to insufficient strength appeared to be sothing she was accustod to.
Compared to the Ye Qingqing of the past, she had truly beco a different person.
Joining the Demon Sect, cultivating the Demon Path, and the inherent flaws in their Cultivation Techniques, all contribute to significant changes in a person’s nature.
Fortunately, despite her drastic change in character, it had not reached a twisted extent.
Such a personality shift, while perhaps slightly worrying for Chen Hai, was tolerably acceptable to him.
Perhaps, with gaining sothing, there is always sothing else that one must lose.
Looking at the younger and more vibrant Ye Qingqing in front of him, Chen Hai felt that a re slight change in personality was indeed very worthwhile.
After all, if Ye Qingqing hadn’t joined the Bloodthirsty Sect for cultivation, she might not yet be dead by now, but it’s likely all her teeth would have fallen out.
Carefully selecting items that she had hard-won, Ye Qingqing wanted Chen Hai to share her joy, seeking his approval through this gesture.
“This slab contains a spell that might be useful to .”
“I’ll take this one; you keep the rest of the items!”
After examining the few items, Chen Hai casually stowed the stone slab away.
He smiled, then pointed to the other items and told Ye Qingqing, “The Secret Bone contains a Divine Soul Secret Technique.”
“With your current realm, mastering this technique should be quite beneficial to you.”
“I’ve never seen this fruit before; definitely don’t recognize it.”
“As for this copper mirror, it is a Middle Grade Magic Artifact.
After you refine it, it would significantly enhance your combat power.”
…
Reaching his level of power, Chen Hai could recognize the nature of many items at a glance.
He had originally planned to take none of the items.
Yet, thinking of it as a gesture from his wife, after so hesitation, he decided to take the stone slab.
“Hmm, I understand.
Since you don’t want these items, I’ll keep them for now.” She bead, seemingly pleased to finally be of help to Chen Hai, her mood was uplifted.
Pulling Chen Hai aside, they casually chatted for a while before she suddenly blurted out, “How long has it been since you last paid your dues?
Do you rember?”
Despite the years they had spent together as an old married couple, Ye Qingqing still blushed bringing up such matters.
“Cultivation is paramount, cultivation is paramount…” Chen Hai was startled, then quickly catching on, his face amusingly twisted as he laughed awkwardly at Ye Qingqing.
“Cultivation is important, but so is paying the dues.”
“I don’t care.
It’s the first ti you’ve visited since joining the Bloodthirsty Sect.
If I don’t drain you dry, you won’t have any excuses to leave,” she retorted with a playful roll of her eyes.
“Right now?”
“Yes, with Zi and Xiaocui guarding outside, nobody will barge into my cave mansion.”
“Since that’s what you want, Qingqing, then alright, today I shall accompany you loyally and pay all the dues I owe over the years.”
…
After teasing each other for a while, with Ye Qingqing’s laughter laced with innuendo, Chen Hai swept her up in his arms and headed towards the inner bedroom.
…
At the core area of the Bloodthirsty Sect, within a grand hall atop the tallest and most majestic mountain peak, resided Sect Master Gui Wuya, lofty at the head of the hall.
Besides the several Hall Masters and the Great Elders seated in the front rows, even Supre Elders like Zhong Wuxue and Zhao Wushen were summoned here, gathered within this hall.
Of course, Elder Ouyang Ming, the stabilizer of the Sect, naturally wasn’t absent either and had already arrived.
However, he didn’t disclose his identity and was instead mingled among the elders.
As the Bloodthirsty Sect’s biggest trump card, besides Gui Wuya, the Sect Master, and a few other Supre Elders, his true identity was not ant to be known by the general senior mbers of ordinary sects.
“Wuya, brother, I just successfully forged the Blood Demon Banner, only having consecrated it halfway, when you directly used the Supre Blood Order to summon .”
“If it’s important, speak up, don’t dawdle and waste ti.”
“If it’s really about the sect’s safety, that’s one thing, but if it’s just trivial matters, don’t bla for not giving you face as the Sect Master.”
The speaker was short and chubby, with all white hair, but his face looked as delicate and breakable as a baby’s.
This man was Zhao Wushen, one of the three great Supre Elders of the Bloodthirsty Sect.
According to their positions in the sect, he and Gui Wuya were of the sa generation, and only soone of his status had the right not to address the Sect Master formally but to call him “brother Wuya.”
The Cultivation Techniques of the Bloodthirsty Sect inherently had flaws, causing one’s thoughts to beco disorderly and one’s personality to beco twisted and radical.
Ordinary senior sect mbers, summoned by Gui Wuya, would acquiesce despite their dissatisfaction due to their lower status and lack of strength, burying their discontents.
As soon as Zhao Wushen spoke, the other two Supre Elders, Zhong Wuxue and Li Wutu, followed suit, echoing his sentint.
Those with power, none liked to be restrained.
These three Supre Elders had high autonomy within the sect, and unless the sect’s very survival was at stake, Gui Wuya could not directly command them.
If there was truly a need for their intervention, Gui Wuya could only politely request their help, and whether they would act depended on their mood!
Just like this ti, it had been many years since Gui Wuya had directly used the sect Order to summon them like this.
Zhao Wushen, Zhong Wuxue, and the rest could hardly rember the last occurrence.
Summoned against their will, they were sowhat reluctant, filled with underlying resentnt while in the grand hall.
As for Elder Ming, the strongest in the Bloodthirsty Sect, he showed no unusual response despite being mixed with the ordinary Elders.
“Everyone, please calm down.”
“This abrupt summons was a necessity; I ask of you to understand,” Gui Wuya implored, already standing, facing everyone with an apologetic expression.
He raised both hands, explained briefly to the crowd, and continued, “This West Barbarian Mountain Territory may have fewer resources and less Spiritual Energy, but since our relocation here, our developnt has been fairly smooth, and the sect has sowhat regained its vitality.”
“All of you here have been with the sect for a long ti, and surely rember why the Bloodthirsty Sect couldn’t survive in the Qianshan Territory and had to relocate to this remote place, right?”
Stopping there, Gui Wuya let his gaze sweep over the assembled crowd.
The senior sect mbers looked at each other, perhaps knowing the answer, yet none spoke up.
“What else could it be?
Isn’t it because the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect wanted to unify the Holy Sect, habitually pressuring us, wanting our Bloodthirsty Sect to beco a subordinate hall within their sect?”
“My Master was calculated against and slain at the foot of Black Stone Mountain by the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect.”
“Which of our sect’s True Demon-level powerhouses didn’t fall by the hands of the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect, just as my Master did.”
…
After a while, soone finally spoke.
The speaker was the Supre Elder Zhong Wuxue, dressed in white robes, looking frail and pale, which gave off an impression of illness.
He seed filled with hatred toward the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect, his fists clenched tightly and teeth grinding as he spoke.
“Brother Wuya, by ntioning these old matters so suddenly, what are you implying?”
“Over the years since relocating to the West Barbarian Mountain Territory, our Bloodthirsty Sect has indeed regained so vitality.”
“But up until now, we don’t even have a single True Demon-level powerhouse, our sect’s current strength simply isn’t on the sa level as the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect.”
“Suddenly summoning us here and bringing up the past, surely you’re not suggesting that the sect should return to the Qianshan Territory?”
…
Imdiately after Zhong Wuxue, Zhao Wushen sarcastically and scornfully scanned Gui Wuya, then rcilessly mocked him.
“So Supre Elders might have misunderstood my words.”
“With our sect’s current strength, we can barely make do in the West Barbarian Mountain Territory; thinking about returning to Qianshan Territory would be no different from seeking death.”
“I have gathered you here because I received so very bad news.”
“Several Immortal Sects in the Qianshan Territory have united against the Heavenly Desolate Demon Sect, defeating and breaking through their mountain gate.”
“The largest group of their remaining forces, heading in our direction, will possibly enter this territory within the next ten days or half a month.”
…
With a solemn face, Gui Wuya continued.
“What?
Ah…” As his words fell, several gasps of shock echoed through the hall.
