End of Chapter 202
As the Great Physician Jun arrived at the gate with his disordered steps, the previously frenzied Niu Qing was knocked unconscious and thrown aside.
The chaotic base was restored to a basic level of order.
The figure he longed for leaned weakly against a luxurious cushion, her lips pale, but her clothes were somewhat disheveled.
As he approached, two stones, broken in two, were flung to the ground with a clatter.
"I told you to keep an eye on the base, and this is how you manage it."
The sound, like scraping glass, stung the Great Doctor's ears, causing him to collapse to his knees.
Seeing the Great Physician's disheveled and unseemly appearance, the other party's gaze was as cold as three pools of icy water.
"How's the situation at the Blood Pool?"
Upon receiving news of the commotion, the Third Young Master and his brother rushed over without a second thought, only to fall into a pit right at the entrance.
Fortunately, the guards they brought with them broke through the formation in time and rescued them. When they arrived at the base, they were so angry that they were furious.
Chaos! Disorder!
This is not what the base that the family values most should look like.
More importantly, the person in charge of the base is nowhere to be found! They can't even put things in order with such a mess.
There was also Niu Qing, who was in charge of guarding the blood pool; a bad feeling lingered in both of their hearts.
They waited for the people who had come with them to reorganize the base, but the person in charge they were looking for finally arrived, looking disheveled.
Looking at the person in charge's body, which resembled a lump of mud, the bad premonition grew stronger.
"Say!"
With a distant volcanic eruption, pink gas mixed with pink smoke created an incredibly dazzling spectacle!
Okay, no need for a response from the other party.
"puff!"
"Third brother!" The second young master, standing beside him, helplessly supported his third brother who was vomiting blood.
Years of hard work were destroyed in an instant; how could he accept that?
"Chase them! Chase those humans!"
He roared hoarsely and angrily, almost without thinking, at the shattered array stones, those humans were really bold.
The last time he suffered such a huge setback was with Song Qing, which almost no one expected, but it caused him to lose all his essence.
And today!
His past resentment mixed with the anger of having his life's work destroyed made him extremely manic, almost wanting to destroy everything.
"Calm down!"
"They must have escaped through this door! If we don't catch those humans today, you will all be executed!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't hear what his brother was saying at all, nor did he want to listen.
"Why aren't you all getting moving?"
The second young master roared at these guys.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
A line of demons pursued Cheng Jiu and his companions in the direction they had fled.
"They've all gone after them! Don't worry, let's leave first! It's too dangerous here," the second young master reassured his younger brother.
"Where are the guards? Where are the guards?!"
"Don't worry, I went after them too!"
"It's finally erupted!"
Hearing the loud commotion behind them, Cheng Jiu and his group of five looked back with delight.
"They'll definitely come to arrest us?"
Riding on the cloud-riding vehicles they had purchased long ago, the group was moving quite fast; they were already close to leaving this mountainous region.
The demon they were holding woke up once, but they knocked it unconscious each time. A unconscious demon is much easier to handle than a living one.
Cheng Jiu held the jade slip and looked at the communication on it: "Master and the others will be here soon too!"
Once outside the fortress, Cheng Jiu sent a distress message to his master. Immortal Lord Qingxu was overjoyed, firstly because his disciple had actually escaped, and secondly because the Demon Emperor only knew the general area.
Now, it's much faster to find someone after receiving a message.
"Little Jiu!"
So people can't help but be reminded of each other. As soon as Cheng Jiu mentioned his master, the man came looking for him.
"master!"
A joyful and exhilarating sound rang out. The group of people, who had just escaped a life-or-death crisis, saw their master and, for some reason, suddenly felt a little like crying.
Seeing Cheng Jiu in such a disheveled state, the group of masters felt extremely sorry for him.
These children have never suffered like this before, yet we still stay with them.
Grandma Suyuan and Daojun Lu Yan looked at the group with gentle eyes.
Cheng Jiu hadn't been hugging his master for long when he saw the Demon Emperor: "Your Majesty, it's the Grand Master of Ceremonies!"
"You called me?" A familiar figure emerged from behind His Majesty the Demon Emperor.
Cheng Jiu stared in disbelief; the demon, who was almost beyond saving, suddenly…
Is it a demon or a ghost?
"Idiot!" Immortal Lord Qingxu tapped Cheng Jiu's forehead: "That's the Demon Emperor's clone."
"Clone!"
Several of them were in a slightly hoarse voice, which explained their surprise.
Although the Grand Ceremony is like an avatar of the Demon Emperor, capable of exercising power on his behalf, it is not the Demon Emperor's avatar who performs the Grand Ceremony.
However, there is a significant overlap in their powers; the Grand Ceremony is used to assist the Demon Emperor. Some things cannot be said to the Demon Emperor, but can be said to the Grand Ceremony, thus forming a buffer zone between the two.
Now, the Demon Emperor's avatar is performing the grand ceremony. In your eyes, it may just be the Demon Emperor's grand ceremony, but it is the real Demon Emperor.
Some things that might be done behind the scenes in the eyes of others may actually be happening right under the Demon Emperor's nose.
Just thinking about it makes me want to mourn for those scheming demons. Who knows, one day the Demon Emperor might remember you and trick you.
Just like the demons who captured them, they probably couldn't imagine that the grand ceremony was an avatar of the Demon Emperor!
Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't have brought him to their base; they would have separated them.
What's the difference between bringing the Demon Emperor's clone into the base and sending him to his death?
There is no difference!
They watched as an entire army clad in silver armor surrounded the entire plain.
Anyone who followed their pursuit was met only by the iron-blooded forces of the demon race.
There's no escaping this!
Looking at the pale-faced demons who were captured and brought back one by one.
Thinking about their previous treatment, Cheng Jiu and the other four could only say...
The brothers have become aliens in offense and defense!
The cultivation levels of the five individuals were previously sealed by the person behind the scenes, not due to the effects of drugs.
The problem was easily solved after meeting the master.
"Damn it, how could the Demon Emperor appear here!" The Third Young Master cursed inwardly as he watched the ever-shrinking army with apprehension.
The people are clearly preparing for war, yet the Demon Emperor has spared such a large army; he really thinks highly of them!
"It must have been those humans who tipped them off!"
The Great Physician was completely disoriented at this moment. Although he had long since disregarded life and death while following these demons, he was still in a state of shock.
This doesn't mean he's not afraid of the demon race's punishment if he's discovered, because the demon race is truly strict in this regard, even more cruel than the cultivation world.
Their family was naturally gifted in medicine, and thus held a certain status and received preferential treatment within the demon race.
If he is caught now, his family...
But he didn't want to die!
Their eager gazes fell upon the two demons who were in charge. The reason they followed them was because the other party's family was not weak at all, and was even considered extremely powerful among the demons.
"Shut up! Even if it were those few humans, the Demon Emperor and his people wouldn't have arrived this quickly!"
The Third Young Master didn't want to hear this good-for-nothing's excuses. After such a big incident, if the other party wasn't still somewhat useful, he would have killed him long ago.
There must have been some things he didn't know about.
"We'll have to ask our ancestors for help! Just pretend we're here for sightseeing!"
He quickly came up with a solution; he really did have a grudge against Song Qing.
The second young master's eyes darted around when he heard what he said, and he gently squeezed his younger brother's hand.
"You all retreat first!" The Third Young Master coldly looked at the demons around him: "That army won't be able to find us here so quickly."
"But young master, there's still lava behind you!"
"I already said, get out!"
The demons who were still following them knew his temperament and had no choice but to retreat. They were already on the pirate ship, so how could they get off?
They assumed he was going to discuss the matter with his ancestors, and that they, as outsiders, were present.
After retreating, the Great Physician looked at the gray sky and the ever-flowing lava, his eyes glazed over, lost in thought.
The person standing outside was not him, but the Mahayana stage bodyguard who had always been by the side of the two young masters, and was also a protector specially trained for these two young masters.
The fact that the protectors at the Mahayana stage could see the strength of the families behind the two demons was evident from this.
Besides the two bodyguards, the one with the highest cultivation level was Niu Qing, who was unconscious to the side.
Perhaps they couldn't bear to part with a Mahayana cultivator, so they took him with them even when they left.
Then it was his turn. Besides the guards responsible for his safety, there was also the physician who wore the same white robe as him. Few of these guys were raised by powerful families; most were orphans who were specially trained after discovering that they had some talent in medicine.
During the war between humans and demons under the previous Demon Emperor, countless people became orphans as a result.
This is why, after a single defeat, most of the demon race unites to bring down the opponent.
Because the demon race really can't afford to fight anymore!
War is a two-way street, but only a small group of people raise the cup of flesh and bone.
"Great Physician, what are you thinking about?" A little demon from another small family asked ingratiatingly when he saw the Great Physician staring blankly at something.
The Great Physician looked at this fool who couldn't see the situation clearly. He remembered that the other party's family had a certain status in Langxi Region, and he didn't know why this fool would join a plan that would lead to the extermination of his clan.
He was the same! All that former elation has been stripped away, leaving only ugliness on the ground.
Countless demons have died at his hands, yet he doesn't find it cruel.
Now that he is about to be caught and executed, he feels that Heaven has treated him so unfairly!
"We can't reach our ancestor!" The second young master announced this devastating news to the two brothers after a moment of silence.
I can't get in touch with them anymore, should I give up on them or...?
Whichever one it is, it would be a devastating blow to them. Once those guys outside find out, they can't guarantee that they will remain loyal and obedient.
The third young master's eyes gleamed with a sinister light, like a bloodthirsty vulture: "Then let them be buried with us."
A casual remark sealed the fate of the two of them who had been following the outside world.
The second young master remained silent and did not utter a word of rebuttal.
Those who pursue wolves and tigers never imagined they would be devoured by them.
They deserved it all.
"Second Young Master! Third Young Master!"
Upon seeing the two demons emerge, the other demons eagerly awaited the good news they would bring.
"Let's wait!" the two demons in charge replied in deep voices.
The demons cheered with joy; it seemed they were safe!
But looking at the two demons sitting among the demons, the Great Physician felt that something was amiss.
They shouldn't have remained silent!
Obviously!
By the time he realized what was happening, the army searching for them had already surrounded them.
He stared at the two demons in shock and disbelief.
He's trying to make them pay with their lives!
But all that could be seen were the two demons lying silently on the ground.
"Your Highness, a demon has committed suicide here!"
The iron-blooded army showed no mercy and wiped them out in one fell swoop. Several Mahayana cultivators tried to resist and escape with their own strength.
The next second, they were firmly surrounded by the Mahayana practitioners who followed.
The outcome is already decided!
There is no chance of a comeback!
A flash of golden holy light pulled the two sinful souls, who were determined to die, back from the brink of the underworld.
The underworld will not accept either of them!
The Xuan Tian Continent wouldn't either.
They cannot die, not before they have been tried!
What is Hanxue Pearl?
Compared to the captured henchmen, the spoils brought by Cheng Jiu and his group were clearly more valuable for interrogation.
I learned from this guy that she came here to prepare Cheng Jiu's blood bead for cultivation.
What is Hanxuezhu? It sounds quite nice!
Unlike his disciples who knew nothing about the demon, Qingxu Immortal Lord wished he could stab it to death with his sword.
The Demon Emperor, enraged at Shangqing Xuxianjun, exclaimed, "The use of the Blood Pearl to cultivate demons was banned tens of thousands of years ago! This family acted recklessly in secret, so you can't blame the demon race!"
Seeing the bewildered expressions on the little ones' faces, Immortal Lord Qingyang explained, "It's an inner core! In the demon race, an inner core that hasn't fully formed is called a Blood Pearl."
Gongcheng and Gongyu looked bewildered when they heard the demon say that they had the aura of the other party's third brother.
They had always lived in the world of cultivation and had never met the "Third Brother" the other party mentioned.
"I never expected to hear news about Song Qing here."
Listening to the other party's explanation, Immortal Lord Qingyang sighed.
"I always felt there must be another untold story behind this, and Song Qing's background must be extraordinary!" Qingxu Immortal Lord judged.
After all, the inner core of a demon is extremely important, especially the cultivation of the Blood Pearl in private, which must be done with utmost care.
Otherwise, if someone escapes, at best their cultivation will be crippled and they will be half-dead, at worst they will die; the risk is extremely high.
Why is the risk so high? It seems some demons prefer to cultivate the Blood Pearl in secret.
Of course, it's because this can improve one's cultivation level. The people chosen to cultivate the Blood Pearl are all exceptionally talented individuals selected from among thousands of others.
The Blood Pearl absorbs the cultivator's talent and potential, resulting in a higher-quality demon core and smoother future cultivation.
It doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, but this demon tends to prefer female cultivators.
However, when this behavior was exposed, the cultivation world protested fiercely, since most of the people arrested were born in the cultivation world, and they were the future of the cultivation world.
At that time, the five major sects joined forces, and some Mahayana Immortal Lords spontaneously organized themselves to destroy these families that used human blood beads to cultivate.
Even in the royal city where the Demon Emperor resided at that time, a fierce battle broke out, destroying most of the royal city and putting the Demon Emperor's life in grave danger.
Under intense pressure, even the Demon Emperor felt that this behavior violated the laws of nature, so he listed it as a forbidden technique and imposed extremely severe punishments.
This clause has never been repealed since then, and the handling of it remains quite strict.
However, this method of cultivating the Blood Pearl is so effective that it is repeatedly banned but still cannot be stopped in some families.
As long as it's not exposed, nobody will know.
However, it's not easy to find a cultivator with good aptitude, especially since the cultivation world is very strict, and there are very few people with good aptitude in the mortal world.
Otherwise, this female demon wouldn't have come here specifically after learning that Cheng Jiu and the other five had been captured. There are just too few people who can be used to cultivate the Blood Pearl! It hasn't been her turn for so many years.
Moreover, her aptitude was only average, so she wanted to cultivate Han Xuezhu to improve her aptitude. In her eyes, opportunities were something to be fought for.
