Chapter 1914 - 2000: Damn, Nanchen Snatched All the Treasures
Blood Martial Hall.
Shangguan Xue’s gaze was unpredictable. Xue Zhan, Xue Sha, and Blood Blade, the Three Supremes, each sat atop a Spirit Gathering Array within the grand hall, fully focused on healing their injuries.
After a long silence, Shangguan Xue finally spoke, "The Blood Dragon Envoy has sent word that the Beast Taming House is attacking the Xuantian Sect, accompanied by two Fifth-realm Supreme experts from Wanshou Valley. The Xuantian Sect Leader, Jin Haoyue, has fallen in battle. Our Blood Martial Hall might also be facing annihilation."
Blood Blade and Xue Sha almost simultaneously roared, "Hall Master, let’s fight them to the death."
Xue Zhan shook his head, "Two Fifth-layer Supremes, plus the Beast Taming House Master, that force can obliterate any third-rate sect. The deaths of the Fat and Thin Supremes mean we can no longer afford any casualties. Otherwise, when the Blood Martial Hall’s influence is destroyed in the Outer Domain, the elders in the Heavenly Person Realm would also be doomed."
Shangguan Xue nodded slightly, "Xue Zhan, what do you propose we do?"
"At this point, our only option is to hold our ground. If the Hall Master and the three of us activate the Blood Martial Hall’s protective formation, whether it’s against three or four Supreme experts, we are confident in holding them off. Besides, the half-step Supremes and Heavenly Monarchs in Blood Martial Hall aren’t just idle hands."
Shangguan Xue laughed heartily, "Good, we will defend first. If we can’t hold, then we fight."
Although the Blood Martial Hall’s protective formation was strong, capable of withstanding the collective attacks of the Void Ancient Dragons, the endurance against the Three Supremes remained uncertain. Xue Zhan felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
"Hall Master, where has that boy Nanchen run off to? Why hasn’t he returned at a time like this?"
Xue Zhan recalled Nanchen, the boy who was forcibly made the Blood Dragon Envoy by the Five Supremes. Although only at the late-stage Heavenly Monarch Realm, his power was terrifyingly formidable. If only he were here.
"He didn’t say, and naturally, I didn’t ask."
As Shangguan Xue spoke, he spread his Divine Thought throughout the entire Blood Martial Hall, summoning the disciples to gather.
Xue Zhan sighed, "Brother Nanchen has already helped us greatly. It’s just a pity that the internal strife within the Heavenly People Clan is too fierce. The Beast Taming House has long been covetous of us. This time, using the grievance between the Xuantian Sect and us as an excuse, they aim to seize the two major sect palaces. It’s quite the crafty scheme."
Shangguan Xue smiled, "The Beast Taming House is nothing more than a lackey of Wanshou Valley. If they succeed this time, they can easily fabricate a story about us both suffering heavy losses, cleansing their sect with ease. I really don’t want to take such blame."
"Hall Master, with your strength, once we hold them off, you should seize the opportunity to leave. One day, you will rise again and avenge us." Xue Zhan’s eyes reddened with tears. It was a life-and-death battle. If only they were stronger, they might have prevented the sect’s destruction.
"I’ve dedicated my life to the Blood Martial Hall. We endured through the Ancient War, and now... if we must die, we die together." Shangguan Xue roared, his towering two-meter body trembling, every muscle quivering.
"Most of my life was spent at the Blood Martial Hall, cultivating the Blood Martial Way, yet I favored crafting talismans. Since today is a fight to the death, it’s a fine chance to test this new talisman’s power."
Shangguan Xue moved his palm, and a talisman appeared in his hand. This talisman bore a blood-red dragon, radiating immense power, inducing fear with just a glance.
"I’ve crafted this talisman for some time, unsure of the form it should take. When Nanchen appeared, I thought of gifting this Blood Dragon to him as a meeting gift. Yet now, I can’t use it. With the Beast Taming House arriving, meeting him might not even be possible."
In the next moment, as cold intent flickered in Shangguan Xue’s eyes, he moved his fingers slightly, chanting a spell. The Blood Dragon then flew into the Blood Lake left by the Fat and Thin Supremes.
As the Blood Dragon plunged into the Blood Lake, countless bubbles immediately surged up from its surface.
The Blood Lake’s water level rapidly decreased, and in a mere instant, one-third of the blood within the lake was absorbed.
Once the Blood Martial Hall disciples assembled, hundreds of Heavenly Monarchs and a dozen half-step Supremes stood with resolute determination. They absorbed beast blood and cultivated a Martial Arts Method of sheer strength and masculinity, resulting in mostly straightforward characters.
At this moment, not a single person displayed ease.
Their eyes all flickered with war intent.
"Blood Zhan, Blood Sha, Blood Blade, go activate the palace’s protective formation. Everyone else, follow me to infuse Divine Power into the Blood Killing Formation."
With Shangguan Xue’s command, the Blood Martial Hall disciples immediately sprang into action.
...
One hour later.
The face of the Beast Taming House Sect Master was pale, while the two experts from Wanshou Valley had expressions as purple as plum blossoms.
The Five Supremes of the Beast Taming House, following their Sect Master, wore increasingly sour expressions.
Among the fifteen half-step Supremes and hundreds of Heavenly Monarchs, all were silent as if in fear.
This time, deploying the whole sect’s might with Wanshou Valley sending two experts as escort, everything went smoothly except for Jin Haoyue’s self-explosion. Even breaking into the Xuantian Sect Palace was effortless; they didn’t even activate the protective formation.
However, all the countless elixirs and treasures of the Xuantian Sect were nowhere to be found.
The absence of the Five Infant Immortal Pill was one thing, but the disappearance of the Xuantian Sword and Xuantian Battle Armor, the Xuantian Sect’s treasures, was inexplicable.
Upon questioning the Xuantian Sect disciples, they learned that someone else beat them to it.
Expending such effort for empty results left the Beast Taming House Sect Master nearly spitting blood in frustration. Still, with the two Wanshou Valley experts present, he dared not lose his temper.
"Sect Master Wang, what is happening here? Who exactly is that Nanchen? How can a Heavenly Monarch be so agile within the Xuantian Sect Palace?" One Wanshou Valley expert asked, attempting to restrain his anger.
"Rumor has it he possesses the strength of the War Supreme, and the Wu family’s young one once suffered a major loss to him," stammered the Beast Taming House Sect Master.
He himself found it unbelievable. Even with level-breaking combat, a Heavenly Monarch should have limitations. How could they scare Jin Haoyue, a dignified Fifth-layer Supreme, into fleeing? Yet, Jin Haoyue had indeed appeared severely wounded. It was unexplainable.
"Bring me the Wu family!"
This time, the two Wanshou Valley experts intervened on behalf of the Beast Taming House, hoping to bolster Wanshou Valley’s prestige within the Star Moon Alliance and seize greater discourse power. Unexpectedly, such an embarrassment transpired, leaving a bitter taste.
Still, they dared not act rashly. Although Jin Haoyue was dead, his power still spoke for itself.
One Supreme from the Beast Taming House flew out, returning moments later with Supreme Wuyang and members of the Wu family. One was a Third-layer Supreme, the other a Supreme First Layer.
"Sect Master Wang, haha, about time you realized the need to ally with Sect Master Jin to attack the Blood Martial Hall. That Blood Dragon Envoy, Nanchen, is too arrogant. Relying on his cultivation, he dared to humiliate my son for no reason. If the Xuantian Sect and Beast Taming House take action, our Wu family will definitely lead the charge."
The Wu Family Head said with a fawning smile, looking around, "Where is Sect Master Jin? Why is he absent? And these two seniors are..."
Upon seeing the two Wanshou Valley experts, his eyes lit up with delight. Despite being a Third Layer Supreme, he recognized their terrifying power, likely surpassing even Jin Haoyue.
But why was the great Sect Master Jin nowhere to be seen?
