Chapter 22: Divine Blood Sect

Zap!

Silver white electric bolts shot out of the short spear in Li Feng’s hands.

Outside the Manor of the Mayoress, Li Feng stood there with a spear pointing outwards.

At the Yellow Hall Realm, his spiritual ability was able to be transferred out of his hands or weapons to kill or harm the opponent.

The short spear in his hand, named “Silver Lightning”, could almost be considered as a level one spiritual weapon.

Then, despite that it was only at level one, it was still a spiritual weapon!

The spirit array engraved in the “Silver Lightning” was activated as he transferred his spiritual energy from his body into the spear, making the pointy end of the spear flash with extraordinary power and created lightning in a clear sky!

On the other side, it was Ning Yue struggling to maintain the battle.

A translucent blue shield formed every time he closed both of his hands together.

The shield, however, stood no chance against the lightning, and he was forced to form one again to protect himself.

Ning Yue’s cultivation was slightly higher than that of Li Feng, but in this battle, he hardly had the power to fight back.

Yu Yuan looked at him, feeling a little guilty.

He knew very well that Ning Yue was not close to being able to defeat Li Feng.

Ning Yue was getting old, and his path of cultivation was closing to an end.

With his precious soul-attract flags destroyed, the force that was knocked back on him caused some unrecoverable harm in his meridians.

Without a suitable weapon in hand and along with the injury from last time, how could he be Li Feng’s opponent?

“Look at our captain!”

“Elder brother Li reached such advancements at such a young age. Before long, he will reach the Dark Burst Realm!”

“If he got to the Dark Burst Realm, his future will be much brighter and might be able to find a powerful sect.”

Many of the guards in the city were looking at Li Feng, who was showing off his seemingly invincible powers. In their eyes, the handsome Li Feng was their motivation, their future.

Like them, Li Feng was born as a commoner and did not have a prominent family background.

Without a clan’s support, he was able to reach the position as the head of the city’s guards backed solely by his hard work and talents in cultivation.

Such a man was a model for inspiration and an idol they could see every day.

Li Feng’s existence seems to be calling on them that as long as they were willing to work hard on cultivation, even common men could see the hope of becoming a true hero!

One day, I have to become someone just like elder brother Li!

A dark-skinned teenager only at the Meridian Establishment Realm clutched his fists and vowed to himself.

A flash of silver lightning broke open the ghostly shield and shot Ning Yue on his chest.

With a deep thump sound, Ning Yue retreated a few steps and fell on to the ground.

Li Feng snorted. Instead of chasing for his victory, he said, “Please go back.”

Ning Yue was a little embarrassed and smiled bitterly at Yu Yuan.

“Thank you, Mr. Ning. I will remember how much you’ve done for me.” Yu Yuan bowed gently, eyes clear and bright. “I’ll repay your efforts.”

Ning Yue nodded and said to himself: “I hope that I have chosen the correct side.”

“It should be enough to cause someone from the manor to notice that we are here. After all, the fight caused a bit of commotion.” Yu Yuan ignored the strange glances from people around them and stood next to Ning Yue, looking towards the Manor of the Mayoress.

“Still not leaving?” Li Feng frowned.

“I’m waiting for someone to invite me in.” Yu Yuan said with a smile.

“Inviting you to go in? What, taking you in for offending the Mayoress in public?” Li Feng mocked.

Yu Yuan shook his head and did not reply.

The countless bystanders were all so confused by what Yu Yuan was talking about.

“Li Feng, let Yu Yuan in.”

At this moment, Yuan Lianyao’s lazy and tired voice came from the doors of the manor, “Before I retreat, I forgot to tell you that I had invited Yu Yuan to come over.”

“What?”

Hearing this, both the guards and the pedestrians were looking at each other shocked.

Li Feng also looked doubtful. “You want to see him?”

He stared at Yu Yuan again with a somewhat confused look, and said bitterly, “My apologies. young master Yu, please come in with me.”

“Mr. Ning, please wait out here for a moment.” Yu Yuan turned his head to say something beside Ning Yue’s ear, and then followed Li Feng into the Manor of the Mayoress.

He had long known that as long as he created a disorder large enough, either Yuan Lianyao or the old man from the Red Devil Sect would notice.

With the cultivation skills of these two, small disturbance outside of the manor might not be enough to alarm them.

But a fight would do the job.

If the old man from the Red Devil Sect was awake, he would send his spirit to sense the area around here and immediately know that Yu Yuan was here.

Yu Yuan wasn’t sure of Yuan Lianyao’s realm, but he still trusted that she could tell her surroundings with ease.

What just happened proved that he was correct.

After a while, Yu Yuan and Li Feng reached the solemn and majestic hall of the Manor, and they saw the graceful and enchanting woman.

“Sister, we meet again.” Yu Yuan smiled and said, neither proud nor submissive.

Li Feng raised his brows and looked unpleasant again.

“You go away first.” Yuan Lianyao didn’t seem to care. She waited for Li Feng to go away and said with a smile, “What do you have that require my attention so urgently? Haha, don’t tell me that you are afraid to fight in the battle under threat from the Huang Clan.”

“I’m not afraid that the Huang Clan will kill me.” Yu Yuan took a step forward, leaving only a meter of distance between them. “I’m afraid that the Huang Clan will kill all the cultivators and common men in the Dark Moon City.”

Yuan Lianyao was dumbfounded. “What are you talking about?”

“From the northern part of The Land of Extinction, the Divine Blood Sect is just as powerful as the Red Devil Sect. Do you know about that sect?” Yu Yuan said.

“I know a little about it.” Yuan Lianyao seemed disgusted by the name alone. “The Divine Blood Sect is known for its evil. For years, that sect has been fighting the Red Devil Sect, and none can do much to the other, as both are at about the same level.”

“So, do you know what it takes for the Divine Blood Sect’s sect members to transform their Soul of Earth to Yin God?” Yu Yuan asked again.

“I’ve heard some, but I don’t know the details.” Yuan Lianyao frowned and said, “For them to reach Yin God, I heard that they often cause the deaths of thousands of people.”

“Looks like you do know.” Yu Yuan said without much more hiding, “Outside the city right now, there are members of the Divine Blood Sect who arranged the ‘Sacrifice Formation.’ Those villagers who disappeared were all most likely used for their blood to activate the formation.”

“When the ‘Sacrifice Formation” is fully activated, the whole city will be covered by the light of a crimson moon, and everyone in the area will be part of the formation.”

“With the formation being established, the first to encounter danger will be cultivators of the highest realm.”

“The three strongest cultivators of the three clans, as well as the old man from the Red Devil Sect, will be among the first to be sacrificed.”

“Then, those of the Dark Burst Realm, Yellow Hall Realm, Contained Spirit Realm, and so on.”

“After all the spiritual power from the city’s cultivators are depleted, the common men will then be killed.”

“…”

Yu Yuan continued to explain in detail the horrifying process of the “Sacrifice Formation.”

Ever since he said the words “Sacrifice Formation,” Yuan Lianyao’s expression hardened. As he explained more in-depth, Yuan Lianyao’s face became more solemn.

When he finished, Yuan Lianyao was silent for a long time.

“You……”

Yuan Lianyao opened her mouth and realized that her voice was dry, and the words were hard to form.

When she understood that she was facing the terrifying Divine Blood Sect and its inhumane Sacrifice Formation, she could no longer stay calm, “How certain are you that the cases of disappearance were because of the Divine Blood Sect?”

“Eight to ninety percent.” Yu Yuan squatted down, took out a few stones, and placed them in front of Yuan Lianyao. Then he pointed to one of them and said, “This is the Jinluo Mountain, and as far as I know about the Sacrifice Formation, the core of the formation is right there. The Jinluo Mountain is controlled by the Huang Clan, and there have been frequent collapses recently. Most likely, these are all done for the Divine Blood Sect.”

With that being said, Yuan Lianyao’s expression changed subtly.

“Sister, what else did you think of?” Yu Can said softly.

“That Battle of the Three Realms’ location changes every time and is decided by one of the clans.” Yuan Lianyao’s eyes were cold. “The clan that is responsible for choosing the site can choose anywhere in the control of the Dark Moon City. It’s such a coincidence that this year, it is Huang Clan’s turn to arrange the site.”

“More coincidentally, Huang Clan told me that they chose Jinluo Mountain!”

At first, she still doubted Yu Yuan’s extraordinary claims, but now she was determined too.

Indeed, there were too many coincidences.

“I won’t ask how do you first realize that this is a Sacrifice Formation, and how do you know so much about that sect, ” Yuan Lianyao was very intelligent. She understood that the most urgent matter right now is to find a solution. She took a deep breath and said seriously, “I just want you to tell me what we must do right now to prevent this disaster!”
