“What’s happening?”
“Why are there fireworks again? Did they miss one earlier?”
“Quick… Look! Blood mist is rising over there! It’s the same blood mist as before, outside the city!”
“Oh no! If it’s the blood mist that consumes the flesh and spiritual energy of living beings, even Foundation Establishment cultivators won’t be able to withstand it for long! Today, my life is in danger!”
Soon, people realized that something was wrong.
The surrounding voices grew restless, and the already crowded crowd became even more congested.
Lu Yuliu looked at Luo Wusheng standing in front of her, equally perplexed.
“It’s okay, don’t worry. It will be resolved soon,” Luo Wusheng reassured her, sensing the confusion in the girl behind him.
As soon as Bai Xiaoyao learned about the incident, she hurried to her senior brother’s side.
However, seeing her senior brother standing next to a familiar girl, Bai Xiaoyao was also puzzled.
(How did my senior brother end up with her?)
Bai Xiaoyao felt like she had missed out on something important.
But being an obedient girl, she didn’t say much. It wasn’t the right time to relax and ask that kind of question.
Watching the expanding blood mist, Bai Xiaoyao stood solemnly by her senior brother’s side.
While the exquisite Bai Xiaoyao stood there, the appearance of the ordinary-looking Lu Yuliu on the other side seemed somewhat overshadowed.
Luo Wusheng’s fully accomplished Golden Core stage surged with spiritual power, protecting the nearby people and the two women behind him.
Although he had great confidence in the Six Gate Bureau, he still hoped to avoid any unexpected situations.
The blood mist in front of him grew denser, completely obscuring the ugly little rat that existed within it.
“Hehe… hehehe…”
Sharp laughter emanated from the blood mist.
Like the howling of a chilling wind, it made everyone present tremble in fear.
Even low-level cultivators were seen sitting on the ground, covering their ears and trembling all over.
At this point, they had basically confirmed that this was the terrifying blood mist that had caused panic among the people outside the city a few days ago.
“What… What should we do? I’ve been cultivating diligently for eighty years to achieve my current Foundation Establishment cultivation. I don’t want to die!”
“You old fart, at least you’ve lived for over eighty years. I’m only eighteen this year! I just reached the Qi Refinement stage this year, I can’t leave it all behind here!”
“It’s… it’s alright, didn’t Lord Luo already pass through? He… he should be able to solve the problem, right?”
“Even if Lord Luo is powerful, he’s only at the Perfected Golden Core stage. How can he protect so many of us?”
Panic filled the crowd.
Meanwhile, from within the blood mist, a cold and sharp voice continued to be heard, creating an even greater sense of despair.
“Very well… you’ve done very well…”
“Since you’ve discovered it ahead of time, then this playtime should come to an end… with so much blood as food, I will gladly accept it today!”
“Today, in response to this Rat’s anger, corpses will…”
But before the sharp voice could finish, a clear and cold female voice sounded from the sky.
“Suppress.”
Miss Kirin, who appeared in the air at some point, lightly raised her hand.
As she spoke this word, two figures wearing masks also appeared in the air.
One of them was Night Crow with a feather mask, and the other had a mask pattern resembling withered leaves, another new Golden-Ranked member that Luo Wusheng had seen.
Three Nascent Souls appeared together!
In the midst of the crowd’s transformation into shocked gazes, countless golden runic symbols materialized out of thin air, leaping and landing on the blood mist.
In the instant the ugly little rat in the blood mist felt the terrifying pressure, a look of horror appeared in its eyes as well.
The Six Gate Bureau had actually dispatched three Nascent Souls!
This was a trap specifically targeting itself!
Its thoughts raced, how could it not realize that the other party had long been prepared?
(Since it’s like this…)
It could endure, this Rat could endure even more!
Directly confronting Nascent Souls was definitely impossible. Although it was confident in its extraordinary abilities, it was, after all, only equivalent to a Golden Core stage cultivator.
By relying on its innate abilities and treasures, it could contend with Nascent Souls. Even if it were in the later stages of Nascent Soul, it wouldn’t be able to harm its life.
If it used its own Tail Severing Survival Technique, it might even be able to escape from a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator!
But that was as far as it could go.
(So I’ll just devour a few hundred blood meals casually, make a big fuss, and then leave quickly… Damn it, I didn’t expect these Nascent Souls to have been lurking nearby all along…)
The little rat, already completely merged with the blood mist, felt a bit frustrated.
It had just been preparing to say some cool lines.
With this thought in mind, the gray-furred rat clenched its teeth. The blood mist suddenly spread, enveloping the entire area near the Demon Artifact Pavilion.
In its blood mist state, it was nearly indestructible, and even Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to cause fatal harm.
So it withstood the descending suppressing runes from the sky and began absorbing the flesh and spiritual power of the cultivators within its blood mist range.
As long as it absorbed enough blood meals and caused a big enough incident, its mission would be considered accomplished.
It just felt a bit uncomfortable that it hadn’t reached the targeted number it had originally imagined.
At this moment, the cultivators within the blood mist felt their spiritual power being drained for an instant.
But it was only a fleeting moment.
Luo Wusheng, who was within the blood mist, looked up and glanced at Miss Kirin, who was now surrounded by the three Nascent Souls.
At this moment, a sheath depicting mountains and rivers floated above her snowy white palm.
The engraved patterns on the sheath emitted a dazzling golden light, instantly overpowering the crimson hues and falling upon everyone present.
This was Miss Kirin’s confidence, a special high-grade artifact bestowed by the Empress.
The Divine Weapon, “Renwang Sword’s Sheath”!
With the Renwang Sword’s Sheath, all evil is repelled, and the people are protected.
As the sheath of that extraordinary divine weapon, after being invoked, it also had the effect of protecting the people.
As long as the golden light didn’t dissipate, those under its protection would not lose their vitality.
The gray-furred rat, who had just sucked in but failed to absorb anything, was stunned.
How could it not recognize the sheath of the legendary Renwang Sword?
But how could this thing appear at this exact moment?
According to the information it had obtained, wasn’t the usage condition for this item extremely demanding? How could they be certain that it would appear here today to unleash a massacre?
For a moment, it suspected that there was a mole among its ranks.
(No, the baldies from the Buddhist sect wouldn’t do something like this… which means…)
A pair of narrow and elongated eyes emerged from the blood mist, filled with boundless hatred as they stared at a certain Demon Sect disciple who had a calm expression, as if everything was under control.
It must be him!
He must have known something again and ruined its plan!
While it gnashed its teeth in anger, the three Nascent Souls in the sky continued to wave their golden suppressing runes.
These suppressing runes had their power limited, focusing more on sealing and suppressing rather than causing devastating damage.
After all, they were fighting in the royal city, and despite the protection of the Renwang Sword’s Sheath, the three Nascent Souls didn’t want to unleash too much of their power.
But Nascent Souls were still Nascent Souls. With each rune falling, the blood mist, which was already struggling to resist under the golden light, contracted again and again.
No, this can’t continue like this!
The situation on the field had already cut off its possibility of absorbing blood meals.
But it couldn’t just leave like this.
This Rat’s Angry!
(At the very least, I had to kill one…)
He has made a decision! Today, the Demon Sect Holy Saint shall meet his doom!
