Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

The heart, along with part of the spine, was instantly reduced to dust by the violent, blood-red fist force!
The astonishment and disbelief on the evil cultivator's face froze completely. He looked down at the huge hole in his chest, his eyes filled with utter confusion and bewilderment. His body went limp and he stopped breathing instantly!
Dead!

Absolute silence!
The entire battlefield seemed to have been paused!

All the disciples of the Boundless Sect stood frozen in place, staring dumbfounded at the unbelievable scene before them!
Their revered "Lord Blood Jade" actually... actually killed one of their own with a single punch?! What... what on earth happened?!
Zhao Boyang, Jin'er, the burly man, and the tall, thin formation master were frozen in place!
The despair on their faces hadn't even faded when they were completely stunned by this sudden and astonishing reversal! Their minds went blank!
The other two evil cultivators only realized what was happening at this moment, and like cats whose tails had been stepped on, they suddenly retreated dozens of feet!
They stared intently at the "Blood Jade," their eyes filled with horror, anger, and disbelief!

"Blood Jade! Have you gone mad?!"

A heretical cultivator roared, his voice becoming shrill with extreme shock.

"You dare kill Black Bat?! Do you intend to betray the Venerable One?!"

"Blood Jade" slowly withdrew his fist, not even glancing at the unseeing corpse on the ground.

He slowly raised his head, his cold gaze sweeping over the horrified crowd, a cruel and eerie smile curving his lips.

"betray?"

His voice was hoarse and mocking.

"No, I'm just... cleaning house."

The moment he finished speaking, he sprang into action again!
The target was the other two terrified evil cultivators! The crimson fist shadow condensed again, tearing through the air with even more ferocious killing intent!

"kill him!"

The two heretical cultivators were filled with shock and rage, and roared simultaneously!

One person unleashed a jet-black bone shield, while another formed hand seals, summoning a sky full of pale green poisonous insects to meet the "Blood Jade"!
The disciples of the Boundless Sect were now in complete chaos!

They were completely confused. Should they listen to "Lord Blood Jade"? Or should they help those two evil cultivators? For a moment, they stood there dumbfounded!
Zhao Boyang and the others finally snapped out of their shock!
"He...he's helping us?!"

The burly man stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Whoever he is! The opportunity has arrived!"

A look of wild joy flashed in Zhao Boyang's eyes. He forcibly suppressed the backlash from using the secret technique and roared.

"Brothers! Counterattack! Charge out!"

"kill--!"

The burly man and the tall, thin formation master, as if injected with chicken blood, roared and brandished their weapons as they charged toward the chaotic Wuya Sect disciples!

Jin'er glanced at the "Blood Jade" figure who was fighting fiercely with two evil cultivators with complicated eyes, and then joined the battle without hesitation. Black light blades, like the scythe of death, reaped the lives of the disciples of the Boundless Sect!

The situation was reversed in an instant!

"Brother Zhao! Kill the evil cultivator first!"

A deep yet clear voice seemed to resound directly in his mind, entering Zhao Boyang's sea of ​​consciousness!

Zhao Boyang was jolted! That voice…was it Xue Jue?! No! That tone…was it Gu Sheng!

In an instant, he understood! Gu Sheng was controlling this "Blood Jade Ring"!
He was overjoyed and had no more doubts!

"kill!"

A fierce killing intent flashed in Zhao Boyang's eyes, and he no longer hesitated!

He forcefully suppressed the surging blood and qi within his body and shouted fiercely at the burly man and the tall, thin array master.

"Old Bear! Old Zhen! Blood Explosion Technique! Follow me to kill the evil cultivators!"

"understand!"

The burly man (Old Bear) and the tall, thin formation master (Old Formation) roared in unison!

Without hesitation, the two bit their tongues again, spitting out their blood and essence!

The aura, which was already somewhat weak due to the previous use of the secret technique, surged again in an instant!
The blood vessels under the skin are bulging like a writhing dragon, and the eyes are bloodshot!

"Soul Purification Talisman!"

Zhao Boyang gave a low shout, and a jade talisman emitting a soft white light in his hand was instantly activated!
A pure and flawless beam of light, carrying the power to cleanse the soul, descended like divine punishment, precisely enveloping one of the evil cultivators who was entangled with the "Blood Jade"!

The evil cultivator was doing his best to resist the blood-red fist shadow of "Blood Jade" when he was caught off guard and was covered by the light pillar of the Soul Purification Talisman!

He felt as if his soul had been thrown into a boiling oil pot, and let out a shrill scream!

His protective true energy was instantly thrown into disarray, and his movements faltered!
"die!"

Zhao Boyang seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the long sword in his hand burst forth with a dazzling sword light, like a startled swan piercing the sun, instantly piercing the throat of the evil cultivator!

The sword pierced through his neck! The evil cultivator's eyes were filled with disbelief, horror, and despair. His body convulsed violently, and then he collapsed to the ground, dead!

"The third one!"

Upon seeing this, the last evil cultivator let out a heart-wrenching roar of grief and indignation!
His eyes were filled with madness as he suddenly pulled a black bone whistle from his pocket, ready to blow it for help!
"Humph!"

Gu Sheng, who was controlling the "Blood Jade", snorted coldly. How could he let him have his way!

"Blood Jade" flashed and instantly appeared beside the evil cultivator!

With his right hand forming a claw, carrying a terrifying power that could tear through space, he fiercely grabbed at the wrist of the evil cultivator who was holding the bone whistle!
A sickening cracking sound rang out! The evil cultivator's wrist was crushed! The bone whistle flew out of his hand!

"what--!"

The evil cultivator let out a shrill scream!
"kill him!"

Zhao Boyang, Lao Xiong, and Lao Zhen pounced like tigers descending a mountain in an instant!
Three ferocious attacks, carrying a killing intent, slammed fiercely towards the evil cultivator!
At the same time, "Blood Jade" also threw a punch, and the blood-red fist shadow blocked all the evil cultivator's escape routes!
Four terrifying forces erupted simultaneously! The evil cultivator didn't even have time to scream before his body was completely torn apart by the violent energy, turning into a rain of blood and flesh!
The three evil cultivators were all executed!
The battlefield fell silent instantly.

The few surviving disciples of the Boundless Sect were already terrified by the series of misfortunes. Now, seeing the three powerful evil cultivators die in an instant, they were even more terrified. With a strange cry, they dropped their weapons and fled for their lives!
They were caught up by Old Bear and Old Zhen and killed them one by one!

The battle was over. Only Zhao Boyang, Jin'er, Lao Xiong, and Lao Zhen remained on the field, along with "Xue Jue" standing to the side, exuding a chilling aura.

The four looked at the "Blood Jade" with complicated expressions.

Although the other party offered assistance, they were, after all, evil cultivators with ruthless methods, leaving people with lingering fear.

"Blood Jade" slowly turned around, her gaze falling on Zhao Boyang.

His lips moved slightly, and a voice entered Zhao Boyang's mind directly.

"Brother Zhao, it's me, Gu Sheng."

Zhao Boyang's body jolted violently, and an incredulous light flashed in his eyes! It then turned into ecstatic joy!
He quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to the "Blood Jade".

"Brother Gu! It was you! I am deeply grateful! I am eternally thankful!"

Jin'er, Lao Xiong, and Lao Zhen were all dumbfounded upon hearing this!
Then it dawned on him! No wonder the "Blood Jade" suddenly turned against him! It turned out that Gu Sheng was the one manipulating it!
"Brother Gu! Thank you so much for saving my life!"

Old Xiong and Old Zhen also rushed forward, clasped their hands in greeting, their faces filled with gratitude and lingering fear.

Jin'er looked at the "Blood Jade Ring" with an unusual light in her eyes and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"It's not suitable to stay here for long."

Gu Sheng's voice, controlling the "Blood Jade," rang in Zhao Boyang's mind.

"The Wuyai Sect will soon find out. Clean up the battlefield immediately and move to a safe place. I have other matters to attend to."

"understand!"

Zhao Boyang nodded emphatically and immediately gave orders to Lao Xiong and Lao Zhen.

"Quick! Clean up the evidence! Dispose of the body! We need to leave immediately!"

Old Xiong and Old Zhen responded quickly and began to deal with the corpses and signs of battle.

Jin'er walked to Zhao Boyang's side and whispered.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Gu, he..."

“Brother Gu is incredibly resourceful and has his own plans,” Zhao Boyang said in a deep voice.

“We will do as he says.”

The battlefield was quickly cleared.

"Blood Jade" nodded slightly to Zhao Boyang, and then disappeared into the shadows of the ruins.

Zhao Boyang looked in the direction where the "Blood Jade" had disappeared.

"Come on! Follow me!"

He led Jin'er, Lao Xiong, and Lao Zhen, and quickly retreated in the opposite direction from the "Blood Jade," soon disappearing into the depths of the ruins.

The main hall of the Thousand Souls Palace.

In the depths of the empty, deathly silent hall, Xiao Beixuan stood with his hands behind his back, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

A black compass was suspended in front of him, spinning continuously. The compass needle jumped wildly, but it could never lock onto any target.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Xiao Beixuan suddenly flicked his sleeve, and the violent true energy blasted a deep crater in the ground!
The search party he sent out to find Bai Zhi disappeared without a trace, as if a stone had sunk into the sea! Bai Zhi seemed to have vanished into thin air!

"Young Master, calm down!"

Behind him, the shadow guard (a disciple of Venerable Styx) dressed in gray, with a deep and imposing aura, hurriedly bowed, but his eyes also showed undisguised anxiety.

"Bai Zhi has disappeared, and the evil spirit's bonds have been broken... This matter is too suspicious! Your subordinate is worried..."

"What are you worried about?!"

Xiao Beixuan turned around abruptly, his gaze piercing the shadow guard.

"Worried about the plan failing? Worried that we'll be left empty-handed?!"

The shadow guard trembled almost imperceptibly and lowered his head.

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare! But... Bai Zhi is the best candidate for the main array eye. If she's not there, the array's power might not be able to reach its full potential! Moreover... if she falls into the hands of the Holy Academy..."

"enough!"

Xiao Beixuan interrupted sharply, his eyes filled with rage.

"Even if it's not her, there's still you! You were also chosen by Master as the core of the formation! Are you not good enough?!"

The shadow guard's face turned deathly pale instantly, his eyes filled with fear and struggle.

"Young Master! Your subordinate... your subordinate's cultivation is shallow, and your bloodline is mixed. If I were to forcibly act as the main array eye, I fear I would be unable to withstand the backlash of the array, and it might even... it might collapse prematurely! At that time..."

"shut up!"

Xiao Beixuan's eyes flashed with cold light. He took a step forward, and his powerful aura pressed down on the shadow guard.

"Are you questioning Master's decision? Or are you... afraid of dying?!"

The shadow guard was so overwhelmed by the oppressive aura that he could barely breathe. Cold sweat poured down his forehead. He knelt on one knee, his voice hoarse.

"Your subordinate... dare not! Your subordinate... swears to serve Your Excellency to the death! To serve the young master!"

Xiao Beixuan stared at him coldly, his eyes shifting uncertainly. Finally, he slowly withdrew his oppressive aura, his voice icy.

"Get up. I don't want to use you unless absolutely necessary. Bai Zhi... must be found!"

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Report——!"

A disciple of the Wuya Sect rushed into the main hall and knelt on one knee.

"Reporting to the young master! The northern area of ​​the secret realm has been cleared! All intruders have been captured or killed!"

"Report! The Southern District has been cleared! One hundred and thirty-seven martial artists at the Grandmaster Realm have been captured!"

"Report! The western district has been cleared! One hundred and fifty-eight martial artists at the Grandmaster level have been captured!"

The three consecutive reports eased Xiao Beixuan's gloomy expression slightly.

he asked in a deep voice.

"What about the East District? Any news from Blood Jade?"

The disciple in charge of the East District hesitated for a moment, then whispered.

"Reporting to Young Master... there has been no definite news from the Eastern District. Lord Xuejue previously sent a message saying that suspicious traces had been discovered and that they were being tracked down, but since then... there has been no further news."

"No further news?"

Xiao Beixuan frowned again, his unease growing stronger.

Xue Jue was one of his capable subordinates, a Human King Realm cultivator. Logically speaking, he should have been able to handle the Eastern District with ease, so why did he suddenly lose contact?
"Send men to investigate the East District! Immediately!"

Xiao Beixuan gave the order in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

The disciple quickly acknowledged and withdrew.

The shadow guard stepped forward and whispered.

"Young Master, the situation in the Eastern District is unclear, and Xue Jue has lost contact... There may be unforeseen circumstances. Should we... postpone activating the grand formation?"

Xiao Beixuan's eyes flickered, and after a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head.

"No! The plan remains unchanged! The sacrificial array will be activated precisely three days from now! Bai Zhi...we must find her alive or dead! As for the Eastern District...send more manpower to investigate thoroughly! If Xue Jue betrays us...kill him without mercy!"

His eyes held a fierce glint.

"The number of offerings is approaching eight hundred! We must gather a thousand people within three days! No one... can stop my plan!"

Looking at the almost insane obsession in Xiao Beixuan's eyes, the shadow guard sighed inwardly, but dared not offer any further advice, and could only bow his head in response.

"Yes! I obey my orders!"

Deep within the Thousand Souls Palace, a suffocating silence once again descended.

Only Xiao Beixuan's icy gaze, like a venomous snake ready to devour its prey, swept across the empty hall, as if he wanted to find and crush all potential threats.

Inside the main hall of the Thousand Souls Palace, the atmosphere was as oppressive as solidified lead.

As Xiao Beixuan listened to his subordinates' reports that the northern, southern, and western districts had been cleared and the number of offerings had reached nearly eight hundred, his gloomy expression eased slightly, but the trace of doubt between his brows remained.

"What about the East District?"

His voice was icy as he glanced at the disciple in charge of liaison in the eastern district.

Why is there still no news about Xuejue?

The disciple's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his voice trembled.

"Reporting to...Young Master! Lord Xuejue's last message was that he had discovered what appeared to be Baizhi's trail and was leading a full-scale manhunt...After that...after that, there was no further news! I have sent people to the Eastern District to investigate, but...there has been no return yet!"

"waste!"

Xiao Beixuan slammed his hand on the stone armrest beside him! The hard stone instantly turned into dust!

"A living, breathing person, with a group of subordinates, could they really just vanish into the secret realm?!"

He suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with cold light.

"Issue the order! Immediately dispatch three more elite groups of disciples, each led by a Human King Realm expert, to conduct a thorough search of the Eastern District! Find them alive or dead! Especially Xue Jue! If he is found to have betrayed us... kill him without mercy!" (End of Chapter)
