Chapter 2079: Blood Fiend Twin Saints

Several Soul Transformation cultivators and hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators jointly attacked the formation, but only one Soul Transformation cultivator managed to escape; everyone else perished.

As soon as these cultivators perished, their soul lamps or soul tablets shattered, alerting their respective factions. The news spread rapidly, prompting various major forces to jointly assault the Blood Saber Sect. True Monarch Blood Saber was nowhere to be found, and the major forces razed the Blood Saber Sect, with only a few disciples managing to escape.

Over two hundred years later, when True Monarch Blood Saber reappeared, he had already reached the late Soul Transformation stage.

True Monarch Blood Saber used powerful divine abilities to eliminate other Soul Transformation cultivators, and the Blood Saber Sect was revived from the ashes, unifying the Ice Sea Realm.

Over a hundred years ago, the Blood Saber Sect gained two more Soul Transformation cultivators. To quickly enhance their cultivation, they abducted numerous high-level cultivators, using blood sacrifices to boost their power. Even Blood Saber Sect disciples were not spared.

The two Soul Transformation cultivators have not appeared for many years, and their whereabouts are unknown. Rumor has it they are in secluded cultivation, while others say they have gone to other realms.

High-level cultivators in the entire Ice Sea Realm are now few and far between. A vast amount of cultivation resources have been plundered, and high-level cultivators dare not show themselves. Most cultivators encountered are at the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment stages.

"Blood sacrifices... what are the names of the two newly advanced Soul Transformation cultivators from the Blood Saber Sect?" Long Xin asked with a frown. He had initially been full of enthusiasm, but reality had poured a bucket of cold water on him.

He had planned to invade other realms, mainly to obtain high-grade spirit herbs. After the Blood Saber Sect's actions, it was likely there weren't many high-grade spirit herbs left. As for the secret realms or perilous lands, they had probably also been plundered by the Blood Saber Sect.

"They are called the Twin Bloodfiend Sages, a man and a woman," Liu Yu slowly replied. "They cultivate blood arts, which allow them to increase their cultivation by sacrificing other cultivators. Junior Brother Li and the others searched within a ten-million-li radius and only found two Core Formation cultivators, not a single Nascent Soul cultivator. Most of the cultivation manuals and techniques here only go up to the Core Formation stage. All manuals that allow cultivation beyond the Nascent Soul stage were taken by the Blood Saber Sect, and it's said they were all destroyed." He added, "The Blood Saber Sect controls the Ice Sea Realm through this method; no one can resist their rule, as there are no high-level cultivation techniques available."

"When was the last time True Monarch Blood Saber appeared? And the Twin Bloodfiend Sages?" Long Xin pressed. True Monarch Blood Saber was already at the late Soul Transformation stage; if he were still in the lower realms, it would be troublesome.

"True Monarch Blood Saber last appeared over five hundred years ago, when he used a powerful divine ability to slay a fifth-tier mid-grade flood dragon," Liu Yu replied truthfully. "The Twin Bloodfiend Sages last appeared over two hundred years ago."

"Five hundred years?" Long Xin analyzed, "True Monarch Blood Saber has probably already ascended to the Spirit Realm; it's impossible he's still in the lower realms. Since he had cultivated to the late Soul Transformation stage, he certainly wouldn't linger in the lower realms. As for the Twin Bloodfiend Sages, it's hard to say."

"The Twin Bloodfiend Sages might be in secluded cultivation, or they might have gone to other realms," the golden-robed elder proposed a bold hypothesis. "What if they encounter our sect disciples, learn about our sect from them, and then trace this spatial node back here to attack us?"

Long Xin's expression changed, and he immediately ordered, "Liu Yu, recall everyone at once. Send people to set up a formation to seal off this spatial node. Using Sky Thunder Valley as the center, seal off the entire fifty-thousand-li radius area with formations."

"Yes, Master," Liu Yu replied, accepting the order and departing.

"Fellow Daoist Long, I have fulfilled my promise. I shall take my leave," Wang Qingshan said, standing up, intending to return to the Sky Azure Realm.

"Wait, Fellow Daoist Wang," Long Xin called out to Wang Qingshan, his tone serious. "Since the Ice Sea Realm has been unified by the Blood Saber Sect, there's no need to invade it anymore. Please help us break open the realm passage to another realm."

"Fellow Daoist Long, we had an agreement beforehand," Wang Qingshan said, his face showing displeasure.

"Circumstances have changed," Long Xin said meaningfully. "If you're unwilling to help, leaving the Sky-Shattering Spirit Blade is also an option; I can exchange it for other heaven-reaching spirit treasures. All of us have been stuck at the early Soul Transformation stage for hundreds of years, unable to break through. We might not resort to blood sacrificing other cultivators like the Blood Saber Sect, but other matters are hard to predict." He implied that if Wang Qingshan refused to help or exchange the Sky-Shattering Spirit Blade, the Soul Transformation cultivators of the Sky Azure Sect, frustrated by their inability to break through, would definitely cause trouble for the Wang family.

"Are you threatening me?" Wang Qingshan said gravely, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

Long Xin smiled calmly and said, "It's not a threat. If you don't help, you'll be destroying our hope. Helping us means giving us hope. The choice is yours."

"What if the next realm is just like the Ice Sea Realm?" Wang Qingshan said with a frown. "Who knows if the Twin Bloodfiend Sages will invade other realms and slaughter all the high-level cultivators there?"

"If that's the case, then I'll accept it, and I will absolutely not bother you; you can leave as you wish," Long Xin pledged solemnly. "As long as you help us with this great favor, I can grant your Wang family another territory. As the Sect Master of the Sky Azure Sect, I guarantee that no Sky Azure Sect cultivators will target the Wang family."

Wang Qingshan looked at the six golden-robed elders, and they all agreed.

"Alright then! But this is an exception," Wang Qingshan said with a frown. "Where is the spatial node leading to other realms?" He knew that if he refused to help, crushing these Soul Transformation cultivators' hopes, the repercussions would be endless. Since he was not confident he could eliminate all the Sky Azure Sect's Soul Transformation cultivators, he could only agree.

"It's quite far from here; we'll need to take a teleportation array," Long Xin said with some uncertainty. "It might lead to the Small Cloud Realm, or it might not." After so many years, he wasn't sure which realm these spatial nodes specifically led to, and the ancient records might not be entirely accurate.

"Alright then! Let's head to the destination immediately and resolve this matter as soon as possible!" Wang Qingshan urged.

"Senior Brother Sun, you stay behind to handle the aftermath," Long Xin instructed the golden-robed elder. "We'll go to Sky Cloud Island first. Seal off this spatial node before rejoining us."

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Sect Master," the golden-robed elder agreed. "Once I've dealt with this, I'll immediately rush to meet you."

Long Xin and the other six transformed into seven streaks of light, flying towards the high sky and disappearing into the horizon.

Looking at the departing figures of Wang Qingshan and the others, a strange expression appeared on the golden-robed elder's face as he muttered to himself, "I recall the sect's ancient texts recorded that Venerable Four Seasons Sword went to the Ice Sea Realm and used powerful divine abilities to slay the Blood Saber Sect's Grand Elder. The Blood Saber Sect then declined, and the Ximen family seized the opportunity to destroy them, with only a few disciples escaping. Now, the Blood Saber Sect has unified the Ice Sea Realm. If the Twin Bloodfiend Sages go to the Eastern Lo Realm, will they cause trouble for the Grand Unity Immortal Sect?"

"Someone! Block off the spatial node leading to the Eastern Lo Realm!" he commanded. "Set up a grand formation! Station people to guard it day and night, without fail!" "Yes, Senior Uncle Sun," the Sky Azure Sect disciples replied, accepting the order and beginning their work diligently.

"The great calamity widely rumored in the Eastern Lo Realm, could it not refer to the demon race?" the golden-robed elder muttered to himself, a thoughtful expression on his face. "After all, the demon race didn't cause much damage to the Eastern Lo Realm. Could it be the Twin Bloodfiend Sages? Never mind, who cares! As long as the Twin Bloodfiend Sages don't come to the Sky Azure Realm, it's fine."
