Chapter 1339: Chapter 1340: Blood Sun Heavenly Egg Clan

All the super sects in the Southern Continent were on the brink of uproar, for no other reason than the fact that the blood-colored fog over the surface of the Blood Demon Sect was becoming increasingly dense. Previously it was just a thin layer of blood mist, but now it had completely transformed into a thick, viscous crimson blood-water that floated in the void. If anyone could step into it, it wouldn’t take a moment for their entire body to be soaked through by the blood-water.

What did this mean?

Where there is a departure from the norm, there must be demons. Now everyone is aware that Xueshenzi is hiding within the Blood Demon Sect, and many higher-ups even know that his hiding place is within the Blood Pool. However, no one knows what he is concocting deep within the Blood Pool, nor does anyone dare to investigate.

But one thing was very clear, there has been a big change within the Blood Demon Sect, and it’s feared that they will soon reappear in the Jianghu. Without Li Xiaobai at this critical juncture, they would be in considerable discomfort.

After the battle in the Western Continent, everyone had gained a substantial understanding of Xueshenzi’s strength. Now, no one dares to claim they can fend him off.

Scouts from various factions hurriedly gathered below the Second Peak of the Sword Sect in the Eastern Continent, there was no need for Steward Chen Yuan to personally send someone to investigate. Every moment there were scouts running to report on the severity of the issue, he was constantly receiving first-hand information. It was shocking indeed, it turns out that only when it truly concerns the life-and-death of their sects and powers do these people really give it their all.

Carrying a bellyful of bad news, Chen Yuan knocked on the door of the underground secret chamber.

“Enter!”

Li Xiaobai’s voice came from inside the room.

Chen Yuan hastily entered, his eyes instantly widening in alarm.

What a sight, the entire room was crowded, filled entirely with statues, but the key point was that for an instant he actually thought everyone in the room was alive; they were so vivid that the likeness was uncanny.

This room should only be entered at noon, because it would scare someone to death in the morning or evening.

“What’s the matter, to be so panicked? Is there some movement from the Blood Demon Sect?”

Li Xiaobai put aside the wooden head he was holding and looked at Chen Yuan slowly asking. Only the Blood Demon Sect could have made the Chief Steward so anxious.

Presumably, there was news about Xueshenzi, and something big was about to happen.

“Yes!”

“There has been an anomaly within the Blood Demon Sect. Now, cultivators from all the super sects keep coming to report, hoping that Senior Brother can make an early decision!”

Chen Yuan recounted the situation of the Blood Demon Sect. No one knows exactly what happened inside, they all hoped that Li Xiaobai could make a decision. In fact, what they wanted was to send a team of Godzillas to probe, because these Saint Realm Demonic Beasts have thick skins and massive numbers; with them, human cultivators need not risk their own lives.

“I am already aware of this matter. It’s nothing but Xueshenzi showing up, not worth mentioning. I will write a letter and you shall deliver it to the headquarters of the Enforcement Team, ensuring that the letter reaches the hands of Beichen Feng.”

Li Xiaobai took up his brush, penned a line of small characters on the paper, and handed it to Chen Yuan.

The content of the letter was simple: Weren’t you saying that Xueshenzi cannot be killed? Now that he wants to kill me, what do you suggest we do? If no one steps in to stop it, then I won’t care about the consequences and will directly slaughter him!

These people speak too mystically; no one knows what the so-called ‘great chaos under heaven’ actually means. Allowing Xueshenzi to live another month is already beyond generosity. If he acts against the cultivators of other sects, I will be the first to take action and exterminate him.

It cannot be that only you have the right to kill me, but I am not allowed to kill you.

“Yes!”

Chen Yuan received the command, clutching the envelope like he was flying as he left.

The title ‘Xueshenzi’ seeped into the hearts of all cultivators like a recurring nightmare.

This was an indelible shadow. Apart from Li Xiaobai, no one knew who else could contend with the Blood Demon Sect’s Sect Master. Yet, this key figure seemed to have no intentions of making a move, which was immensely agonizing for everyone.

“Let’s go take a look.”

Li Xiaobai rode the Golden Chariot, turning into a streak of golden light as he swiftly disappeared from the secret chamber. In the depths of the void, row upon row of Saint Realm Godzilla slowly emerged, integrating with the void unseen by the world, guarding by his front and sides against unexpected dangers.

“Sect Master Li, the Blood Demon Sect is on the brink of resurgence with demonic flames soaring within the sect; they must be plotting something. I hope the Sect Master will make a decision soon!”

No sooner had he appeared than countless Sect Disciples from the Second Peak came to him as if seeing a savior, desperately pleading.

“Xiaobai, what’s going on?”

“Have you encountered any difficulties? The Xueshenzi is a top-notch figure in the Central Origin Realm, standing tall for a millennium. It’s inevitable to be lacking in cultivation strength. If we can’t beat him, we’ll just hunker down, activate the Mountain Protection Array, and I believe even he won’t be able to break through immediately.”

Ying Diao came forward and said slowly. In his eyes, Li Xiaobai was clearly facing a tough challenge.

In the depths of the void, the ranks of Godzilla parted to both sides, but he didn’t notice them at all. This was the gap in realm and cultivation level. The Godzilla hid in the deep void, undetectable to a cultivator like Ying Diao, who could only superficially harness the Power of Space.

“No need to worry, please have the Sect Master stay guarded within the Sword Sect. The enemy is capable of stealth attacks. I will now head to the Southern Continent to investigate. It’s been many days, and the Xueshenzi has finally made a move. This time, I will not be lenient with him!”

Li Xiaobai was radiating an intense killing intent.

The golden light beneath his feet swept across the sky, followed by Godzilla running silently through the void, passing quietly in front of the sect’s gate.

The Golden Chariot moved at full speed, and in just two hours, it rode the winds and broke the waves reaching the coast of the Southern Continent.

Along the way, he didn’t encounter a single Demonic Beast that should have been present among the Sea Clan, which was very unusual. Normally, even on the safest of routes, one would encounter several witless Demonic Beasts attacking, but today, both above and below the sea’s surface, it was unnervingly calm.

There was something wrong with this sea area. Either all the Sea Clan had died out or fled, but either case undoubtedly indicated the presence of some terrifying entity.

Without hesitation, the golden light continued to race across the land, and in just a few breaths, he had easily arrived at the Blood Demon Sect’s gate.

The entire sect was indeed shrouded in a blood mist so dense it was surreal. The spaces inside were completely obscured, the only visibility being clumps of blood floating in the air, fresh and newly bled.

“The Xueshenzi possesses the strength and cultivation to slay Godzilla in one strike. It seems rather imprudent to just rush in.”

Li Xiaobai pondered, considering whether to blast a burst of Huazi to clear the Blood Qi. As he hesitated, suddenly a mysterious paw emerged from an inconspicuous mound of earth outside the gate – small, golden, and seemingly sharp.

“Someone’s here!”

Li Xiaobai was shocked. Without a word, he raised his hand and struck with his sword, sweeping the Demon Sealing Sword Evocation across, instantly tearing a vast ravine in the land. At the same time, a little golden chicken leaped three feet high in fright, squawking loudly as it began to run wildly around the sect gate. There was a trace of black substance on its rear, which it couldn’t rub off.

“Ouch, damn it, who’s ambushing me in secret!”

“Damn, is it the Blood Demon Sect attacking? Trouble brewing, bug out!”

The little golden chicken leaped three feet high, chattering and clamoring, causing Li Xiaobai to be utterly flustered.

When the hell did this damn chicken show up, and how did he not know about it?

“What is this damn chicken doing here?”

“When did you get here, and what are you doing here?”

Li Xiaobai took a closer look and discovered that the creature that had emerged from the debris was none other than Ji Wuqing.

“Damn it, turns out it’s one of our own, scared the hell out of your grandpa!”

With a pat on his chest and a face full of fright, Ji Wuqing opened his mouth and spat out a halo of light, revealing Ergouzi and Old Bangzi leisurely appearing in front of the sect entrance.

“Did you make any discoveries at the Blood Demon Sect?”

Li Xiaobai narrowed his eyes slightly, those three were by no means pushovers, all classic examples of not getting up early without benefit. Sneaking around near the Blood Demon Sect, they must be plotting something.

“What discovery could we make? The sect is in ruins, didn’t you wipe it out?”

“As a Buddha, I heard that the Blood Demon Sect was experiencing strange phenomena frequently. To protect the many Disciples of the southern Mainland, we cultivators are obliged to act!”

“Giggle, indeed, it’s our responsibility and duty!”

Ergouzi said with a smug face, sticking out his tongue, followed by quick nods from Ji Wuqing and Old Bangzi behind him.

“Then why didn’t you go in?”

Li Xiaobai gave them a sidelong glance. These guys obviously came to try their luck, to see if they could dig up some treasures inside the Blood Demon Sect. He knew them too well. The other party must know something, otherwise they wouldn’t have made a special trip all this way.

“Hehehe, aren’t we waiting to go in together with you?”

“Kid, no offense, but just now by a stroke of fate, this Old Bangzi discovered a treasure land. Interested in joining the Buddha here for a big score?”

Ergouzi said with a wide grin and a cunning smile.

“What treasure land?”

“Now that I, the Sect Master, am here, the entire Blood Demon Sect is mine. Why do we need a big score?”

“If there’s anything good, just bring it here. From now on, the Blood Demon Sect is my backyard garden. All intruders out of the way, don’t disturb me, the Sect Master, from handling my affairs fairly!”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand, speaking indifferently with a straight face.

Now that he was aware of a treasure land here, these three had nothing to do with it. Why would he need three people for a job he could handle all by himself?

“Woof!”

“You little jerk, playing dirty, trying to hog it all for yourself!”

“Buddha here discovered the treasure land. Even if you have to move in, you have to share half with Buddha!”

Ergouzi immediately protested.

Ji Wuqing clamored, “Split it evenly, finder’s share!”

He felt under tremendous pressure; his purpose for being here was to prevent attacks from Xueshenzi, acting as a resurrection item, here to die a noble death. Even the dead get buried with some money, so what’s wrong with him making a bit off this?

“Exactly, it should be split equally. I, Old Bangzi, discovered the treasure land. This phenomenon is quite similar to an ancient race recorded in ancient books. Only I, with my all-encompassing knowledge, could find it!”

Old Bangzi also said.

“Ancient race?”

“What ancient race?”

Li Xiaobai looked intrigued and asked.

“A race called Blood Sun Heavenly Egg!”

“The ancient books say that when a Blood Sun Heavenly Egg appears, it will trigger a world phenomenon with surging Blood Qi. The most distinct feature is the air will be filled with the smell of fresh blood, as fresh as newly shed blood, indicating that the Blood Sun Heavenly Egg is about to transform into a butterfly!”

As Old Bangzi spoke, he sneakily glanced into the Blood Demon Sect’s entrance.

While he was performing the role of Xiao Lao Di in the sect, he read many books. In order not to give himself away, he pushed himself every day, diligently reading the sacred ancient scriptures. He was only just beginning to understand, learning about some of the secret matters and gaining more profound knowledge and broadened horizons.

Thus, he also gained a new realization that nothing is easy these days. Even to be a swindler, you have to know more than the average person. Otherwise, if you are clueless, why should you be swindling someone?

“Blood Sun Heavenly Egg?”

These words were not so simple to Li Xiaobai’s ears. He had seen this thing before. It was through it that his System was successfully upgraded in defensive power. And because of it, to this day, he still carries the negative state of Decay God Possession.

And because of this negative state, some unknown great horror is going to strike. One could say the Blood Sun Heavenly Egg is the source of this series of events.

“You know about this thing. What is it?”

Li Xiaobai asked. He had only crushed one egg before, unaware of the rest, and had never thoroughly understood the other party.

The only intersection was the System prompting him that he had been targeted by the Blood Sun Heavenly Egg Clan.

“The ancient books state that the Blood Sun Heavenly Egg can incubate all things in the world. The egg clan itself is merely an empty shell, which gains heart and spirit only through incubation. This race’s horror lies in that they can hatch into anything, be it Magic Treasure or elixirs, or even a being!”

“With these eggs appearing, it means the Blood Sun Heavenly Egg has incubated to a certain degree, about to break free from the soil!”

“Think about it, there can’t possibly only be one such egg in the Blood Demon Sect. If some of these eggs hatch into precious items like Magic Treasures or elixirs, we’ll make a fortune!”

Old Bangzi was extremely excited. With Ji Wuqing around, he didn’t have to worry about dying. Now meeting Li Xiaobai was like a tiger with wings. As long as they go deep into the Blood Demon Sect, find the eggs, open the valuable ones, and take out the treasures inside, the trip would be worth it!

“Can you determine the location of that Blood Sun Heavenly Egg?”

Li Xiaobai asked.

Old Bangzi smacked his lips, saying, “To hatch the Blood Sun Heavenly Egg, enough, or even a massive amount of Blood Qi is needed. Now, the Blood Demon Sect is empty, without living people to draw and provide Blood Qi. To hatch and nurture, they can only be placed in a place with surging Blood Qi. In my opinion, this thing can only be laid in the Blood Pool!”
