Supreme Dragon Martial Soul

Chapter 672: Chapter 348: Intel—Jin Min and the Blood Nether Sect?

The Blood Elder frozen within the icy prisms was now covered in blood, with even his only left arm lost, which indicated just how fierce the previous battle with Yin Li had been!

On his face were half-finger long black beast-like hairs, combined with a pair of blood-red vertical pupils, making him look neither human nor ghostly.

Luo Cheng speculated that these changes were likely related to the Demon Yuan Blood Burning Pill!

The burly middle-aged man, after taking the Demon Yuan Blood Burning Pill, also emitted a faint Demon Beast aura, and his temperament became more violent. As for why he didn’t undergo physical transformation, perhaps the time wasn’t enough, or due to other reasons...

"You’re actually not dead!"

Though the Blood Elder had been frozen, he could still speak. Seeing Luo Cheng appear, he immediately let out a howl unlike that of a human.

He initially thought, with the intake of the Demon Yuan Blood Burning Pill, the burly middle-aged man could instantaneously kill Luo Cheng!

In this way, the other could have a chance to return for reinforcements, even if they couldn’t escape, they’d at least take someone down with them!

Never would he have expected, Luo Cheng was still alive.

"Of course I’m not dead. He doesn’t yet have the right to kill me."

Luo Cheng’s expression was calm.

"Humph!!"

The Blood Elder snorted coldly, disregarding Luo Cheng’s words, and wrongly assumed that Yin Li had killed the burly middle-aged man.

After all, he knew his comrade’s strength well enough.

After taking the Demon Yuan Blood Burning Pill, the other’s power was just a notch below that of a true Earth Level Great Power. Killing a Late Stage Ninth Realm of Awakening Vein opponent was as simple as slaughtering a chicken or dog!

"That’s unimportant."

Yin Li stepped forward, an overwhelming aura exuding from her, as she looked at the Blood Elder:

"I ask you, what’s the purpose of your Blood Nether Sect setting up that fake stronghold, what are your plans in the Great Yue Dynasty? What conspiracy is there?"

The Blood Elder said coldly, "Fake stronghold? What fake stronghold? I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Luo Cheng sneered, "Still playing dumb? We already know the Blood Nether Sect’s stronghold is hidden within that lake, with even True Master level experts stationed there. One of them being the once-mighty Blood Crow True Master..."

Upon hearing this, the Blood Elder was shocked, "How...how do you know about Blood Crow True Master..."

Halfway through his sentence, he quickly regained composure, saying solemnly, "Since you’re already so clear, why still ask me."

"Looks like you’re not planning to speak..."

Yin Li’s tone was calm, but a chill flickered in her eyes as she lifted her finger, saying lightly, "No matter, we have plenty of time."

Whoosh!

In a trance, Luo Cheng felt a bone-chilling cold, as if the entire world was about to freeze.

The next moment.

Yin Li’s fingertip exuded a sinister cold strength, pointing at the Blood Elder.

Crackling sounds were heard, and from within the massive ice prisms, countless icy crystal currents suddenly emerged!

These icy crystal currents were as thin as a hair, spiraling and boring into the Blood Elder’s flesh, writhing crazily within.

"Ahhhhhhhh..."

In an instant, a heart-wrenching scream echoed.

Those icy crystal breaths penetrated his body, like thousands of insects biting his flesh, and the cold aura they emitted magnified this pain tenfold, hundredfold, reaching deep into the soul, causing the heavenly-level Blood Elder to let out a wretched scream.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng couldn’t help but swallow, grateful that back at the Seven-Colored Spring, Yin Li didn’t use such a method against him!

Nevertheless, considering how dangerous this woman was, it’d be best to stay away after things end.

Otherwise, should he provoke her displeasure, he could only be at her mercy...

"Ahhh... stop! Stop at once! I’ll talk!"

As Luo Cheng was lost in thought, the Blood Elder could no longer bear it, pleading for mercy.

Blood Nether Sect itself upheld the belief in the strong prevailing over the weak, disciples practiced evil techniques with short lifespans, living indulgently and selfishly, naturally unconcerned about others’ fates.

Previously, he remained silent, merely stalling for time, seeking an opportunity for his own interests.

Now, unable to withstand the torture, the Blood Elder surrendered immediately.

Yin Li stopped and said indifferently, "Speak up, if there’s any deceit, I’ll make you suffer ten times as much pain."

Upon hearing this, the Blood Elder’s body slightly trembled, took a deep breath, and started spilling the information he knew like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

As Luo Cheng had surmised, the encircled stronghold was merely a decoy set up by the Blood Nether Sect, hiding the real stronghold beneath the lake.

Their purpose was to secretly develop and gradually weaken and infiltrate the major powers of the Great Yue Dynasty, eventually aiming to take full control of it!

Yin Li inquired about the real Blood Nether Sect stronghold’s strength.

To mask the truth with falsehood, most of the Awakening Vein Realm powerhouses were used as cannon fodder, sacrificed in the last battle, leaving only a few hundred Late Stage Awakening Vein experts, dozens of Great Power Level experts, and two Half True Master Level experts in the real stronghold!

The two True Master Level experts, Luo Cheng had seen them before, were precisely Lord Tu Wanshan and Blood Crow True Master.

According to the Blood Elder, Blood Crow True Master had significant influence, overseeing several great dynasties south of the Yun Lan Domain Group, and was only visiting the Great Yue Dynasty, not intending to stay long!

The genuine True Master Level expert stationed in the Great Yue Dynasty was only Lord Tu.

As for the Half True Master Level expert, it was indeed the Blood Demon appearing at the fake stronghold.

This Blood Demon hadn’t yet ascended to True Master Level, only considered Half True Master due to its bizarre abilities and formidable strength.

However, after the last battle, through the Extreme Yin Blood Refining Array, it absorbed countless powerful essence blood. Once it recovered its Essence Energy, it might metamorphose and rise, becoming a True Master Level Blood Demon!

By then, ordinary True Master Level experts wouldn’t be able to contend with it! It could effortlessly destroy a city!

This news startled Luo Cheng a bit.

He remembered the terrifying scene of the Blood Demon’s battle with the Three Sects Supreme Elders, and that actually wasn’t even a True Master Level Blood Demon!

A True Master Level Blood Demon must be unimaginably terrifying!

Besides this, the Blood Elder disclosed another shocking piece of information.

Now, all major forces within the Great Yue Dynasty have been infiltrated by the Blood Nether Sect, including the Three Great Sects!

Yin Li sought more specific details, asking for the identities and names of those colluding with the Blood Nether Sect.

However, the complete list was known only to a few core figures like Lord Tu. The Blood Elder’s knowledge was limited, revealing only a few key figures, including disciples and elder-level individuals from the Three Great Sects, among which surprisingly was a Fierce Cloud Sect Inner Sect Core Elder!

This revelation left both Yin Li and Luo Cheng quite shaken.

Inner Sect Core Elders held significant status within the Three Great Sects, and the fact that such individuals had defected indicated just how deep the Blood Nether Sect’s infiltration had penetrated!

Luo Cheng recalled something, asking, "Was Jin Min, the Xuanyuan Sect disciple who discovered your fake stronghold, one of your Blood Nether Sect members?"

No wonder Luo Cheng harbored such suspicion; the Blood Nether Sect had set a fake stronghold, even painstakingly set up the Extreme Yin Blood Refining Array to nurture the Blood Demon, requiring an appropriate moment to be discovered!

This person, naturally, best be one of their own.
