Chapter 27: Blood Moon Sect

  Looking at the small Lingdan in front of him, the manager of the Gongde Temple hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it again and again, he still shook his head, "Brother, you'd better take back this small Lingdan, I can't accept it".

  The tone was somewhat helpless, and arranging Wang Ke to guard the forbidden land was the intention of the master of Xuanwu Peak. If someone were to be replaced hastily, it would inevitably offend the people of Xuanwu Peak. The three small spirit pills made the middle-aged man's eyes greedy, but he didn't dare to take them either. Offending Xuanwu Peak for these few spirit pills wasn't worth it.

  Wang Ke stared at the middle-aged man's face, observing his expression, and instantly understood the middle-aged man's hesitation. His heart moved, his right hand opened, and a burst of light flashed, revealing a spirit stone in his palm.

  As soon as the spirit stone appeared, a shocking spiritual energy was emitted from Wang Ke's hand. The middle-aged man sitting opposite him suddenly looked over with gleaming eyes and exclaimed: "Mid-grade spirit stone!"

  The middle-aged man's face was hesitant, and Wang took out a mid-grade spirit stone. Mid-grade spirit stones were extremely precious, and among the inner sect disciples, few could use them for cultivation. However, Wang had over a hundred mid-grade spirit stones in his storage bag, so taking one out didn't hurt at all. He still made a painful expression on purpose.

  "Senior brother, this middle-grade spirit stone was given to me by the Young Master last time. If you help me get things done, I'll give you this middle-grade spirit stone as a gift from your junior brother."

  "What? This intermediate spirit stone is for me?" The middle-aged man seemed to disbelieve his own ears, staring at Wang Ke with wide eyes that shone brightly.

  "That's right, you also know the situation in the forbidden land. If I continue to stay there, my cultivation will definitely not make any progress. My talent is poor to begin with, and if I miss the best period for cultivation, this life will be wasted. I hope brother can help me." Wang Ke said sincerely.

  "Cough, ah, I'm very clear about the situation on the ground. Since you, my junior brother, are so determined to follow the path, then I'll do my best for you. You go back and prepare first, a month later, I'll send someone to hand over things to you." The manager said with a serious face, then his right hand swept across the table, and in an instant, the spirit stones on Wang Ke's hands and the jade bottle on the table disappeared.

  "Then I'll take my leave, I'll go back and wait for good news." Wang Ke bowed his hands together in a gesture of respect, stood up, bid farewell, and quickly left the Merit Hall.

  "Haha, this foolish kid actually took out a mid-grade spirit stone. Today is really a lucky day! I must go find Ling Mu in Xuanwu Peak and have a good talk with him." The middle-aged man sat in the room, playing with the mid-grade spirit stone in his hand, with an expression of being reluctant to part with it, and the excitement on his face was hard to conceal.

  "After leaving the forbidden land, I will go to Peak Master to apply for an outing and travel, and leave this place of right and wrong early. Returning to the other courtyard, Wang Ke had a relaxed face, three small spiritual pills plus one middle-grade spiritual stone, which was just a drop in the bucket for him."

  "Alright, let's continue to cultivate. It seems that the Xianjin Continent will undergo a huge change, and I must accelerate my own strength. The Bodhi Dan is a must-get." Wang Ke's eyes flashed with determination as he arrived at the courtyard and began to practice his sword techniques.

  Xueyue Sect is one of the four major sects on the Xianjin Continent, located on an island surrounded by sea beasts and various storms and dark currents. Ordinary cultivators find it difficult to get close, and the entire island is surrounded by a powerful array of seals, which can be described as being as solid as gold soup.

  In the depths of the Blood Moon Sect, in a hidden valley, there was a blood lake with a diameter of one hundred zhang. On the central surface of the lake, there was a circular stone platform with a diameter of one zhang. The stone platform was dark red and covered with some eerie symbols. At this time, on the stone platform sat a figure shrouded in a red light aura, unmistakably the Master of the Blood Moon Sect.

  The entire valley was shrouded in a powerful array, the air reeked of gore, and bubbles churned in the Blood Lake like boiling water. Sheets of red mist drifted from the lake's surface, swirling around the Stone Altar where the Blood Moon Sect Master stood.

  The red halo surrounding the Blood Moon flickered and jumped non-stop, each jump absorbing some of the outer blood mist into its body, looking very mysterious.

  The entire valley was quiet, and the shore beside Blood Lake was deathly still. Many white bones were piled up on the shore, looking exceptionally terrifying.

  "Whooshing" sounds suddenly appeared outside the mountain valley, two figures descended from the sky. One was an old man with a withered face, wearing a black robe, his hair was white, and he was hunchbacked, his hands naturally hanging down, his eyes flickering with a faint bloody light.

  Next to her was a septuagenarian old woman, wearing a bundle of cloth, with wrinkles all over her face, holding a bone stick in her hand, and dark red long hair coiled on her head, with a pair of eyes flashing sharp light.

  Both of them emitted an astonishing spiritual pressure, both being Golden Core experts. Arriving at the outside of the seal, neither of them spoke, gazing at the seal in front of them.

  "Blood hand, how can your news be reliable?" An old woman next to her asked with a flickering expression after a while.

  "Heh heh, don't worry, the news is absolutely reliable. The Blood Moon has already been back for a year now, but it still hasn't come out. Last time's treasure hunt was severely injured, I think it won't recover so quickly." The black-robed old man's cold voice came over.

  "Hmph, it's better this way, otherwise it wouldn't be easy to deal with." The old woman beside her snorted coldly.

  "What's there to fear? Even if he wasn't injured, it's not certain that the two of us together would be able to defeat him. Think about it, if we can snatch the immortal pill from his hands, we still have a glimmer of hope." The black-robed elder said firmly.

  "Ah, wealth and honor are won in the midst of danger, let's give it a try. Taking advantage of the fact that some old guys from the sect aren't around, let's make our move quickly. However, wanting to enter this demonic void formation will probably require some effort." The old crone said with a serious expression, looking at the seal in front of her.

  "Heh heh, don't worry, I've been prepared." The old man in black robes smiled slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He suddenly took two steps back, and his right hand slid out of his sleeve. His right hand was blood red, with sparkling spiritual patterns all over his palm, looking extremely eerie.

  A flash of light, an old man pinched a jade talisman in his hand, this jade talisman was five inches long and three fingers wide, its surface flickered with silver light, the small jade talisman was full of silver spiritual patterns.

  "Seal-breaking symbol! You've even prepared this, it seems you're sparing no expense!" The old crone gazed at the silver jade symbol in the black-robed elder's hand, a hint of surprise on her face.

  "Hmph, just a broken seal symbol. If we can snatch the immortal pill from Blood Moon's hands, it would be worth using ten more broken seal symbols." The old man said firmly.

  "Ah, that's right. We shouldn't delay, let's get started immediately, lest we have too many dreams tonight." The old woman saw the old man take out a Breaking Seal Symbol, and her confidence suddenly increased greatly. The Breaking Seal Symbol was a kind of powerful talisman that specialized in breaking all kinds of array formations and seals. The jade symbol in the old man's hand emitted a strong spiritual pressure, and just one look at it told you that it was a powerful one.

  "Ready, I'm making a move." Suddenly, the old man's expression solidified, and a surge of spiritual energy poured into the jade talisman in his hand. In an instant, the silver light on the talisman surged greatly, and the spiritual patterns on it began to flow rapidly.

  With a flick of his wrist, the jade token shot out in front of him. A flash of silver light, and the token slammed into the seal in front of him. Suddenly, the seal began to shake violently, and a shocking wave of spiritual energy emanated from it. The seal burst apart, exploding into a ball of silver light that blasted a seven-foot diameter circular hole in the seal.

  Through the circular opening, a blood lake can be seen in the valley inside, and the two people's eyes are instantly focused on the figure on the stone platform in the center of the blood lake.

  The seal-breaking symbol, although powerful, can only break the seal in front of it a little bit. The gap around the broken seal is surrounded by intense flashing spiritual light, and the gap on the seal is disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  The old man hastily said a volume, spiritual power rolled up, transformed into a flash of light and rushed towards the gap. The old woman next to him tapped her white bone staff on the ground, transforming it into a white flash of light, following the old man as they charged into the seal together.

  As soon as the two figures had just disappeared on the other side of the seal, the seal behind them was completely healed. A flash of light, and the two fell to the shore inside the seal, their eyes fixed intently on the center of the Blood Lake.

  The Blood Moon on the central stone pedestal trembled slightly as the two entered the forbidden area, and the blood mist outside its body was instantly absorbed into its body. The light shield above flashed with two red lights.

  "Blood hands, white bones, what are you two doing here? Don't you know this is a forbidden place?" A cold voice came from Blood Moon's mouth.

  "Hmph, do you think you can use your master's identity to intimidate us? Hand over the elixir, Blood Moon!" The old man stepped forward two steps, standing at the edge of the Blood Lake, and gazed coldly at Blood Moon in the center.

  "So you're after the immortal elixir on me, that's great. Are you two the only ones who came?" Blood Moon said calmly and slowly, without any signs of panic.

  "It's enough for the two of us to deal with you, last time you were injured by Qingmu and haven't fully recovered yet, hand over the Xian Dan if you know what's good for you." The white-robed old woman stepped forward two steps, staring at Xuemonth.

  The two of them spoke, each emitting a powerful aura from their bodies, all of whom were at the peak of the Golden Elixir middle stage, and in the Xianjin Continent, they could be considered top-notch masters.

  "Great, just in time for the Golden Elixir. Since you two have delivered it to my doorstep, I won't be polite about it, right?" Xue Yue said calmly, shifting his gaze to the left as if speaking to someone.

  However, on the left side was a vast emptiness, nothing was there. Seeing Xue Yue's action, the two people by the riverbank were stunned and looked towards Xue Yue's left, but they didn't see even half of a person's shadow.

  However, at this moment, a majestic voice came out of thin air: "Can you let go of these two masters?" The voice seemed to come from his left side, but there was no one in sight.

  "Heh heh, aren't they just two Golden Elixir experts? Since you want to deal with me, then you can't be spared. It's better to get things done quickly, let's take action and settle them together!" Xue Yue said, slowly standing up, and from the light shield, two red auras shot out, carrying a strong bloody aura.

  "Who is hiding there?" The old man in black robes scowled, staring at the empty space to the left of Blood Moon, and shouted sternly.

  "Blood-handed尊者, I didn't expect that after all these years, you still haven't made the slightest progress. It's truly disappointing." Just as the faint voice faded away, a distortion appeared in the void beside him, and a faint figure began to take shape, gradually becoming clearer.

  The old woman beside him didn't say a word, but stared at the lake surface, watching as the figure gradually became clear. Her pupils suddenly contracted, her whole body trembling, and her face turned extremely ugly in an instant. She let out a cry of surprise: "Qingmu, is that you!"

  At this moment, beside the Blood Moon, in the empty space seven feet above the lake surface, a majestic man was floating. He wore a cyan long robe, a golden crown on his head, and a jade belt around his waist. His expression was cold and aloof, with a pair of starry eyes that were incredibly deep. The whole person looked extraordinary and powerful, and he was none other than Qingmu Zhenren, the number one cultivator of the Xianjin Continent.

  At this time he stood empty and still, without emitting any spiritual power fluctuations, yet gave people an unbeatable feeling, looking at the two by the lake with a cold gaze.
