Forced to Be a Villain: Starting With My Brain Extraction System Chapter 136: Blood Mist Valley!

"So... Yan Yue sent her lackeys to search for Bloodmother’s Tear?"

A deep ancient voice echoed from the throne high above, in an empty dark hall filled to the brim with demonic energy. A low howl followed, carrying an oppressive pressure.

"Yes, my lord. She recruited a few Late Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivators for this task."

Lu Sheng spoke while bowing deeply with his head lowered, his voice trembling.

Unlike the usual sinister and creepy tone he used when talking with Yan Yue through that ancient mirror, he appeared extrely ek now.

How could he not be? The ancient voice belonged to the Sect Master of the Black Lotus Sect, Old Man Xuanji.

"Heh. How foolish. She really thought she could cure the Blood Oath so easily?"

The ancient voice mocked her, as if finding everything Yan Yue was trying utterly stupid.

"But... what if, my lord? Ti is approaching, and we cannot be careless."

Lu Sheng spoke cautiously. After all, Yan Yue was the sister of the previous Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect.

She must have so trump card.

In fact, he felt that the reason the Sect Master was lenient on her and sent her away from the sect on a mission was also because of this.

Even though he already had so control over her with the Blood Oath, he was afraid.

Afraid that she might go berserk or divide the sect.

"Do not worry. That little girl can do nothing but beco my Yin Cauldron. In fact, I hope she finds Bloodmother’s Tear. I want to see how desperate she will be when she realizes that her hope was only an illusion."

The ancient voice laughed, reverberating throughout the empty hall.

"Anyway, Lu Sheng, forget about Yan Yue. She cannot escape my grasp in this life. But..."

The voice paused before asking,

"Did you prepare for this secret realm exploration? Rember, I need blood. Lots of pure and high realm blood filled with vitality."

As soone whose life was coming to an end, he had to hurry.

Although he already had a plan brewing at the Divine Cauldron Sect, he needed a backup.

This ti, he was going to use the fresh blood of those geniuses from other sects who ca to explore Blood Mist Valley and extract their vitality to sustain himself through a forbidden demonic technique.

The higher your realm, the more afraid you are of death. After the hard work of an entire lifeti, when you beco stuck and slowly approach death, anyone would go mad.

Let alone him, who was from a demonic sect.

He would do anything just to stay alive.

"Yes, Master. We are already prepared. Although Blood Mist Valley does not allow anyone above the Foundation Establishnt realm to enter, it does not stop Gold Core Realm cultivators from existing inside."

Lu Sheng said with a faint smirk and a cold look in his eyes.

"We have already prepared two sacrifices that can forcefully increase their realm to Gold Core as soon as they enter the secret realm. Once even one succeeds, our mission will be successful without a doubt."

This ti, the Black Lotus Sect wanted to slaughter many sect cultivators inside the secret realm. This was also the reason they readily agreed to share this place with other sects.

The more elites those sects sent into this expedition, the happier they would be.

With a Gold Core Realm cultivator inside, killing everyone else would be effortless.

"Good. Then go prepare. I want to rest."

Xuanji seed satisfied and praised him before falling silent once again.

"Yes, Master!"

Once Lu Sheng bowed and disappeared from the hall, the room beca completely silent again, with only low howls echoing faintly within the swirling demonic energies.

***

The Eastern Spirit Plains was extrely vast. Even though it was considered a barren edge of the Azure Star Continent, it was still ho to many second and third-rate sects.

Apart from the Divine Cauldron Sect and the Black Lotus Sect, there was also the Iron Crane Sect, which focused on martial arts and battle formations, and the Hundred Flowers Valley, which was comprised entirely of female cultivators.

Besides them, there were also many third-rate sects scattered around the region.

Normally, these sects did not interact much with one another, as each had its own territory to oversee.

But today, due to the appearance of Blood Mist Valley, everyone had gathered outside the southern slope of the Verdant Peaks.

"Damn. Never thought we would be allowed to enter the secret realm, too."

"Heh. When the bigwigs fight among themselves, the small ones pick up the benefits."

"Tch. We are not inferior to them anyway. It is just that we do not have as many resources as they do."

Although both second-rate and third-rate sects were present, the disparity between them was clearly displayed for the naked eye to see.

While the second-rate sects stood alone, occupying suitable nearby spots right beside the portal, the third-rate sects were all jumbled together, sitting at the back and trying hard not to attract attention.

Although they wanted to reap the benefits, they also did not want to offend these heavyweights.

"Look. Soone is coming."

Suddenly, soone from the crowd pointed toward the east, where a rapidly flying sword was heading straight toward them.

The speed and intent were so overwhelming that before it even appeared, rushing winds and sharp sword cries filled the entire valley, as if an invisible blade was tearing through the air.

In an instant, the disciples beca restless as deep fear gnawed at their hearts. They felt as if they might die just from the strands of Qi emanating from that sword.

Fortunately, it was only an illusion.

"Finally, the Divine Cauldron Sect is here. It is ti to enter the secret realm."

Standing atop the massive flying sword were the elders and disciples of the Divine Cauldron Sect, headed by Elder Jianhong

With their appearance, finally, everyone was here.

"Haha. So it is Old Man Jianhong? Tch...Tch...Your Sword Heart seems even more powerful than before."

As soon as Zhiran landed on the ground along with his sect mbers, and Elder Jianhong put away his sword, two figures suddenly appeared before them.

The one laughing was a tall, burly man with muscles covering his entire body. He looked like a heavyweight bodybuilder who was well-versed in physical cultivation.

He was an elder from the Iron Crane Sect, Tie Shan, a Gold Core body cultivator.

anwhile, the one standing silently beside him was a beautiful, mature woman with a gentle smile. She was the elder from Hundred Flowers Valley, Hua Yuelian.

They had co to greet Elder Jianhong, as both of their sects maintained good relations with the Divine Cauldron Sect.

After all, a sect proficient in alchemy was always worth befriending. Only demonic sects like the Black Lotus Sect would deliberately form grudges without reason.

"Tsk. Tie Shan, stop calling an old man. We are of the sa age. And your aura seems to have grown stronger as well. What, do you want to taste my sword?"

Jianhong clicked his tongue as he spoke.

"Haha. Well, I was not thinking about it. But now that you ntion it, maybe I do want to taste it again."

The burly man was a battle maniac after all. How could he refuse such a tempting offer?

He was always eager for a hearty fight.

"Tie Shan, stop joking around. Now that everyone is here, let us open the secret realm and allow our disciples to enter."

Hua Yuelian spoke softly, stopping them from acting recklessly. Her voice carried a natural charm that soothed the tense atmosphere around them.

She was already fed up with waiting and did not want to wait anymore.

"Tch. Yuelian is right. Let us open the secret realm first. We can fight it out later."

Jianhong nodded lightly before turning around and focusing on a certain place and a certain figure.

"Lu Sheng, what do you think?"

He was addressing the elder of Black Lotus Peak, who was draped in a black robe. In fact, not only he, but all the disciples behind him were the sa, completely shrouded and hiding their figures.

The dense dark energies emanating from them clearly indicated that they were all demonic cultivators.

"Ke. Ke. Ke. I have no objection. But Jianhong, are you sure about letting those weaklings behind you enter the secret realm?"

Lu Sheng’s creepy laughter echoed throughout the area as his mocking voice spread.

"Do not cry later if they never return from the secret realm."

He warned them with thick killing intent, not hiding anything at all.

The grudge between their sects was no secret. Everyone knew that their disciples would kill each other the mont they t.

Lu Sheng was not joking when he said those words. This ti, however, he was not only aiming for the Divine Cauldron Sect, but for all the others as well.

"There is no need to worry about my disciples. Just open the secret realm and let the results speak for themselves."

Jianhong did not want to discuss further. He walked forward, leaving his disciples behind as he approached the portal.

The Divine Cauldron Sect had already taken precautions for unforeseen circumstances. They were not weak.

As a sect with an alchemy heritage, they had the highest number of Foundation Peak cultivators entering this secret realm.

Jianhong was confident that in this exploration, his sect would rise to the top as always.

There was no point in continuing such discussions.

"Tch. Do not regret it later then."

Lu Sheng clicked his tongue in annoyance on the surface, but his eyes hidden behind the mask, were filled with excitent.

In fact, he was pleased that the Divine Cauldron Sect had sent so many elites.

The more blood, the better.
