Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next day.

A handsome young cultivator dressed in a light green robe, humming a strange tune, followed a remote mountain path in the Sword Control Sect and went down the mountain.

The young cultivator had his hands behind his back with a carefree expression. He was like a young master of an aristocratic family taking a stroll.

Behind him, there was a young girl with a somewhat tender appearance and fair skin.

The young girl carried a large suitcase and held a sheathed sword in her hand.

Occasionally, the young girl would glance at the figure in front of her, her eyes filled with admiration and respect.

Within the Sword Control Sect.

Wu Ye and Meng Chuchu did not have a very high sense of presence to begin with.

Even if Elder Du were to return after leaving for a period of time, he would at most think that Wu Ye had gone into seclusion with Meng Chuchu. He would not think of any other possibilities.

After all, in the eyes of many elders, Wu Ye was only an early-stage Foundation Establishment disciple.

The cultivation world was starting to get restless. Would they not be looking for trouble if they went down the mountain?

…

Half a month later.

Heavenly Star City.

It was a famous gathering place for herbs in the Great Zhou Empire. A large number of alchemists and cultivators who bought medicinal pills would come here every year.

In the Northern Spirit Realm, Heavenly Star City was also very famous.

This was because the Sky Cloud Sect was located in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range outside Heavenly Star City.

Recently, there had been a great change in the Sky Cloud Sect. Xiao Fei’s Innate Water Spirit Pearl had been stolen. This also caused many cultivators to flood into Heavenly Star City.

On a mountain path in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range.

A tall figure and a short figure walked leisurely.

“Senior Brother, I’m tired of walking. Can I find an inn to rest for a night?”

Some beads appeared on Meng Chuchu’s forehead.

“Okay.” Wu Ye nodded.

An hour later, a three-story inn appeared in Wu Ye’s sight.

Besides the common vicious beasts and poisonous insects, there were also mountain spirits and ghosts in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range.

Therefore, the people who could appear in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range were generally cultivators.

The inns on this mountain were only open to cultivators.

Wu Ye relied on a third-grade medicinal pill to order two top-grade rooms in the inn.

Shortly after, he took Meng Chuchu to check in.

Time slowly passed, and it was soon late at night.

A thin, middle-aged man emitting a dark red blood qi suddenly appeared at the entrance of the inn.

This middle-aged man was wearing a long black robe. He looked cruel and cold.

A strange scarlet light was jumping in his eyes.

“What a fresh blood essence of a cultivator!

“If I can devour all these cultivators, I’ll be one step closer to the blood soul secret technique!”

The middle-aged man licked his lips and looked at the second floor of the inn. There was a room with a wide open window. A greedy expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, the blood qi on his body surged. Countless black lines appeared on his face, which were similar to countless malevolent and terrifying centipedes.

His figure flashed, and he appeared in front of the second floor window of the inn. He suddenly opened his mouth, and an extremely terrifying devouring power erupted.

It only lasted for an instant.

The early-stage Core Formation cultivator who was meditating in the room did not have time to react.

An incomparably pure blood essence rose from the inn and was directly devoured by him!

This cultivator was reduced to a dried corpse.

“How delicious.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten such a delicious blood essence,” the middle-aged man said with an evil smile.

He slowly floated in from the second-floor window to enter the room. He opened the door and entered the walkway.

He began to act according to his senses. He continuously launched sneak attacks and devoured the cultivators who were resting and meditating.

After a while, the blood qi on his body became denser, and his aura gradually became stronger.

He wandered around the inn with a cold and gloomy aura as if a bloodsucking old monster had descended.

Finally,a cultivator who had comprehended a cultivation technique gained something in the inn.

When he was about to go next door and have a chat with his fellow disciples, he suddenly found a bloodsucking monster at the other end of the path.

“Oh no!”

“The demonic path has appeared!”

With his angry shout, hundreds of cultivators in the inn were alarmed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless doors were opened.

At this moment, the thin, middle-aged man also knew that he had been exposed. Even so, he was not afraid at all.

He unleashed all of his blood qi, setting off a shocking aura. He broke through the roof of the inn and finally appeared in the sky above the inn.

Meanwhile, many cultivators used their exquisite movement techniques to rush out of the inn.

They looked up and saw a black figure with a shocking aura floating in the air. His aura was powerful, and his blood qi was surging. His cold face revealed a cruel and bloodthirsty expression.

“It’s you?”

“The new elder of Ghost Spirit Sect, the Bloodsucking Daoist!” A cultivator recognized the black figure and his expression changed slightly.

After the current Ghost Spirit Sect had been divided, there were only 12 elders in total.

The Bloodsucking Daoist had inherited the secret technique of the Blood Soul Demon Master.

His Blood Qi was overflowing, and his methods were cruel, causing the expressions of countless cultivators to change.

In particular, the Bloodsucking Daoist cultivated the Blood Soul Devouring Grand Magic, which was an evil technique that relied on devouring the blood essence of cultivators!

Over the years, countless cultivators had died at the hands of the Bloodsucking Daoist .

“Haha. I didn’t expect that someone would be able to recognize me. However, it’s better for all of you to stay here today.”

The Bloodsucking Daoist’s eyes were filled with greed as he said with an evil smile.

This time, people of the demonic path had also moved out in unison due to the incident regarding the Sky Cloud Sect’s Innate Water Spirit Pearl.

The Ghost Spirit Sect master, Li Xiao, had ordered his subordinates to move out in an attempt to snatch the Innate Water Spirit Pearl.

Under Li Xiao’s orders, the Bloodsucking Daoist came to the Azure Cloud Mountain Range to seize the Innate Water Spirit Pearl.

Now that the cultivators had gathered in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, the Bloodsucking Daoist naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity.

Therefore, he secretly lurked in this inn in order to devour the blood essence of cultivators.

“Is it really the Bloodsucking Daoist?”

The eyelids of the several hundred cultivators twitched, and their expressions were filled with fear.

It was rumored that the Bloodsucking Daoist’s strength was not at the peak of the cultivation world. He was only at the peak of the Core Formation Realm.

However, with the Blood Soul Demon Master’s inherited secret technique, the Bloodsucking Daoist’s strength could increase to the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Furthermore, with the blood escape technique, he escaped in a bizarre way, which made it difficult for people to track him.

In other words, the Bloodsucking Daoist’s true combat strength could be said to be invincible in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Everyone else there was basically at the Core Formation Realm. How could they be a match for the Bloodsucking Daoist?

At this moment, a figure wearing a blue robe walked out from the crowd with an indifferent gaze.

“How arrogant.”

“If you want to devour my blood essence, then we’ll have to see if you have the ability!”

The middle-aged Daoist sneered before taking out a talisman from his storage bag.

When the other cultivators sensed the powerful aura on the talisman, their nervous and frightened expressions finally eased up a bit.

“Who is this expert?”

“His talisman has such great power!”

“I think a senior expert here can suppress the Bloodsucking Daoist.”

Wu Ye, who was in the crowd, had an interesting expression on his face when he saw Lu Fang stand out.

He had not expected to meet someone he knew here..
