The city you mentioned is Xuanmiao City.
In the cultivation world, there are distinct levels. In any big city, there will be an area for the wealthy, also known as the high-level area. The wealth in the cultivation world is closely tied to one’s strength.
The wealthy area of Xuanmiao City is the East District. The buildings here are no longer messy and dim, but instead are luxurious. Only the rich and influential people can come and go here.
However, the East District is now clouded with worries. There have been a large number of disappearances of people with golden cores and Nascent Souls. This has caused their family members to lose their most important source of wealth. Many people realize that they can’t survive here anymore and have already started moving away, causing the entire East District to become desolate.
"Husband, do we really have to go?"
Inside a mansion in the East District, a woman asked her husband.
"Let’s go, Xuanmiao City can no longer stay. One after another, people are having accidents, things are abnormal, it will definitely become dangerous and strange. If we don’t leave, we will all suffer here."
"But our families have been here for generations. What about our relatives and friends?"
"If we can’t even protect ourselves, why should we worry about others? I have strong spiritual power, I can go anywhere, and it’s enough to keep you safe. I can’t control what happens to others. If you want to stay, then stay. I will take our children and leave."
The man replied. Normally there is no danger, so he is happy to take care of his relatives and friends. But now he can’t even protect himself, so why should he worry about others? It’s better to run away first. After all, he has strong skills and can survive anywhere, even if the income is lower.
"Dad, everything is taken care of."
As they were talking, a young man walked in and said that he had sold most of their belongings.
"Well done. Let’s wait a few more days and leave together. I have contacted other Taoist friends."
The man nodded. He wasn’t the only one who wanted to leave. Others were also worried, so as soon as someone suggested it, they immediately responded and left in groups.
"Yes, Dad. What should we do with the house here?"
"Sold"
"This is our ancestral house"
"What does it matter, we no longer live here, it’s useless to keep it"
"But..."
The young man hesitated, they were leaving, not taking everyone with them. Some elderly and weak would have to stay behind. What would happen to those people if the house was sold? But he didn’t dare say it. He knew that even if the house was kept, those who were weak and old wouldn’t be safe. They would only become abandoned souls. r
"Greetings, Elder"
In the sky above Xuanmiao City, Zhou Huaiying bowed to the Tao Achieving cultivator of Tianxuan Sect.
"No need for excessive politeness. Has the Eastern City become so desolate?"
"Eight or nine out of ten"
Zhou Huaiying said that the population of the Eastern District has decreased by seventy to eighty percent. Some of them died, unable to survive, while others ran away voluntarily. Tianxuan Sect tried to persuade them, but could not convince them at all.
"Are the followers the same?"
"Really not possible?"
"If you want to die, go ahead by yourself, don’t involve me."
"Don’t forget, we’re together now, Zhou Huaiying."
The middle-aged man instantly revealed the identity of the person in front of him. It was Zhou Huaiying from the Tianxuan Sect, but it was just his clone that had arrived.
"Haha, who would believe that if we said it?"
"These past few months, you have killed a lot of cultivators in Xuanmiao City, haven’t you?"
"Anyway, if you don’t want to die, then just leave."
Zhou Huaiying was furious. He had indeed been betrayed by the Blood Demon Ancestor.
At first, when the Blood Demon Ancestor gave him the Blood Demon Manual, he didn’t pay much attention. But as he studied the manual, he became fascinated by the art.
The technique that the Blood Demon Ancestor gave him was perfect, surpassing all other techniques in the world. Although Zhou Huaiying knew that the Blood Demon Ancestor hadn’t taught him everything and had kept many things secret, he was still tempted.
In reality, his cultivation hadn’t progressed for a long time. He had spent too much time wandering in the Divine Kingdom. Void Achieving had a lifespan of only five thousand years, and he had wasted over a thousand years in the Divine Kingdom. Given his current situation, he had no chance of achieving Tao in this lifetime.
Driven by greed, Zhou Huaiying couldn’t help but cultivate the Blood Demon Manual. During the process of the Blood Demon Ancestor attacking and killing cultivators in Xuanmiao City, Zhou Huaiying also took action and provided shelter for the Blood Demon Ancestor, otherwise, the Blood Demon Ancestor would have been discovered long ago.
"Fine, don’t be angry. I’ll just leave. There’s not much blood to feed on in Xuanmiao City anyway. I’ll find another city."
"Go away quickly!"
"Zhou Huaiying, it’s not easy to find fresh blood to feed on. I suggest we work together and eliminate your Tao Achieving family. We can then use their blood to perform a blood ritual for the entire Tianxuan Sect. As Tao Achieving, there won’t be anywhere in the world we can’t go. Without family members or sect burdens, no one will dare to oppose us."
"Crazy person."
"To survive, one must be a little crazy. Zhou Huaiying, let me tell you the first side effect of the Blood Demon Manual. It’s an unquenchable thirst for power and blood. Once you get a taste, you can never be free from it. You will crave power more and more, to the point of losing your sanity. Don’t think you can control it, no one can. Unless you become an immortal, that is. Otherwise, hehe."
"I am not you."
"Haha, I admire your confidence, but I suggest you start planning early. Forget about family and children, sacrifice them in the blood ritual. Then you won’t hesitate anymore..."
"Bang."
Zhou Huaiying’s spectral figure shattered instantly. He no longer wanted to listen to these deceiving words. He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to resist them if he kept listening.
"Haha..."
This reaction only made the Blood Demon Ancestor laugh louder. He knew that Zhou Huaiying had fallen for his tricks. Once on his treacherous ship, Zhou Huaiying would never be able to get off.
