Chapter 196 - Secret Rumors of Blood Heavenly Demon Sect

Chen Fan found a blood-colored bead in his hand, shiny enough to reflect a person's image and about the size of a baby's fist.

This gang of blood-sucking bandits was stronger than the group in the ancient city. They had more bandits and two leaders in the Yuanfu realm. One of them was even a peak first-level Yuanfu realm expert.

“Haha, this feels so good.”

Mu Chen and the others had surrounded three Qi Grandmasters and killed them. Excitedly, they held three blood demon cores, each approximately the size of an egg.

“Do you guys know about Blood Soul Palace and Blood Demon Cave?” Chen Fan looked at them and asked.

Mu Chen replied, “I’ve never heard of the Blood Soul Palace, but I have heard about the Blood Demon Cave before.”

“Tell me about it.” Chen Fan said.

Mu Chen nodded and said, “The Blood Demon Cave is an organization of martial artists practicing demonic cultivation techniques, similar to the Spring Autumn Sect. Rumor has it that their leader's cultivation is in the Divine Nascent realm, although I can't confirm it.”

Chen Fan's gaze turned serious as he asked, "If the Blood Demon Cave is a demonic sect targeted by everyone, why haven't they been eradicated?"

“It’s not that easy.” Mu Chen chuckled and said, “I get what you mean. Many sects once came together to exterminate them. Although they killed many demonic beings of Blood Demon Cave, the location of its headquarters remains unknown.

“Demonic cultivation techniques help practitioners make quick progress, as you know. They killed many demonic practitioners, but many more failed to resist the temptation and fell into the demonic path. Consequently, the Blood Demon Cave persists like resilient wild grass in the Great Chu Empire, sprouting back repeatedly."

Chen Fan acknowledged this reality.

In this world where strength dictated everything, the temptation of a quick path to becoming an expert made many martial artists give in to their desires.

This inherent human nature ensured that practitioners of demonic cultivation techniques would never vanish completely.

“I see. With these bandits causing chaos in the northwestern lands, it's likely the Blood Demon Cave has regained its strength,” Chen Fan said plainly.

Lu Yun suddenly said, “I do know a little about Blood Soul Palace.”

“Oh?”

“Or perhaps some martial artists with impure minds obtained the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s cultivation technique in that battle and secretly practiced it, even spreading it...

“Forget it. No need to think so much about it. Even if the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect is like a cockroach, it’s not our place to worry. The more powerful sects will handle them."

“You have a point,” said Mu Chen, nodding.

Li He said, “Now, do we rest for a while or continue our search? This group of blood-sucking bandits came from the Blood Demon Cave. They are sure to have a powerful leader, we...”

Mu Chen and the others immediately looked toward Chen Fan.

They now knew that the blood-sucking bandits in the northwestern lands originated from the Blood Demon Cave and likely had powerful leaders. Later, they could come across third, fourth, or even fifth-level Yuanfu realm demonic beings.

Earlier, that group’s leader had said something about “Lord Chongtian” avenging him before his death—possibly the leader of these bandits.

“If you guys are worried about your safety, you can return to the sect first, but I will keep searching for more blood-sucking bandits to kill,” Chen Fan said indifferently.

He was confident in his strength.

Chen Fan didn’t even bring out thirty percent of his strength in the past two days. The strongest enemy he’d encountered was only at a peak-stage, first-level Yuanfu realm expert. He could have killed his opponent with a single attack if he hadn’t been trying not to stand out too much.

As for that Lord Chongtian, he didn’t put him to heart, either.

If he encountered that person, even if he was no match for him, no one could stop him from escaping.

Chen Fan planned to kill more bandits to earn more contribution points and buy one or two upper-profound tier martial skills at the Scripture Depository.

An upper-profound tier martial art would cost one to two thousand contribution points each. He needed more points for them.

“Wealth can only be earned by taking risks. Since you’re confident, Chen Fan, we’ll continue following you,” said Mu Chen after thinking for a while, gritting his teeth.

“That’s right. This is a rare opportunity. We must seize it!” Lu Yun and Wei Rufeng also nodded.

Li He and the remaining party member, Liu Heshan, hesitated briefly. Eventually, they gritted their teeth and nodded, determined to stick with Chen Fan and continue their journey.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
