Chapter 98: The Curtain Falls

“Elder Black Blood, you’ve won. The Shanyue Kingdom will be returned to your Blood God Sect!” said the Elder of the Silver Moon Sect with bitterness.
She chose to surrender because continuing on could mean that her Dao heart would never recover.
At first, the Elder of the Silver Moon Sect didn’t hesitate to kill all those infected by the corpse poison.
Even when Elder Black Blood made it clear that there was still a chance for salvation, she could still go through with it.
However, when she faced pregnant women and children, she softened.
When the dam had a breach, it would quickly collapse.
After all, she was a cultivator of the righteous path. She could not be as inhumane as the demon.
She took over the Shanyue Kingdom to free it from the clutches of evil, not to destroy and slaughter.
Otherwise, what was the difference between her and the demon?
“Hehe-” Elder Black Blood laughed smugly, “I’m most skilled at dealing with you righteous little girls.”
Although both were in the later stage of the Golden Core realm, there was a huge age difference between them.
The Silver Moon Sect Elder was only 300 years old, while Elder Black Blood was already 600 years old.
The lifespan of a Golden Core cultivator was 500 years, but Elder Black Blood was able to live this long because he used a secret technique to extend his life.
From the age of 300 to the late-stage of the Golden Core realm, it could be said that most of his time was spent in cultivation.
In addition, the righteous path was relatively peaceful, and she had not encountered too many dirty tactics, which was why Elder Black Blood was able to take advantage of her.
“Silver Moon Sect disciples, follow my orders and withdraw from the Shanyue Kingdom!” The Elder of the Silver Moon Sect’s voice filled with magical power spread out in all directions.
The battle for the Shanyue Kingdom came to an end with this voice.
The elder of the Silver Moon Sect did not leave immediately. Instead, she used her magic power to remove the poison from the mortals.
Elder Black Blood didn’t stop her either because if he did, it would be a battle to the death.
Previously, they fought for the ownership of the Shanyue Kingdom but now they were fighting for their Dao hearts. Their starting points were different.
The other party was not weak, and her cultivation technique restrained blood. Otherwise, he would not have used a method to destroy her Dao heart to win.
It wasn’t worth it for some mortals.
Moreover, once they regained the Shanyue Kingdom, these mortals would also become assets of the Blood God Sect.
“It’s over!”
Zhang Chen turned and left. There was no need to continue watching.
From the beginning, he knew that the ownership of the Shanyue Kingdom and the outcome of the battle had nothing to do with him and the other direct disciples.
Although the ground battle was brief, he had learned something about the strength of the late-stage Golden Core realm.
Zhang Chen felt a little heavy-hearted because he might have to face more than just Elder Blood River of the Golden Core period when he reached the Foundation Establishment.
Elder Black Blood Elder has five initial stage Golden Core zombie kings. What about Elder Blood River?
Would there be five or even more Golden Core Blood God Sons?
Based on the side effects of the control of the Blood Body and the information that the direct disciples of the Golden Core level disappeared.
Zhang Chen guessed that the three Golden Core blood corpses controlled by Elder Black Blood were very likely cultivated from direct disciples who had broken through to the Golden Core realm.
After all, the Blood Corpse’s ability was exactly the same as the Blood Body, except that it had an additional corpse poison.
After Zhang Chen flew for 15 minutes, he suddenly saw two white lights flying over in front of him and four blood lights chasing from behind.
The white light was naturally a disciple of the Silver Moon Sect, a man and a woman, with cultivation levels of Foundation Establishment sixth level and Foundation Establishment fourth level, respectively.
“Senior Brother, there’s a Blood God Sect disciple in front!” The woman said nervously.
“It’s only the third level of Foundation Establishment, let’s go!” The man raised his hand and shot out an ice sword.
The cold air of the ice sword was pressing, and with the infusion of the Foundation Establishment sixth level mana, it was almost impossible for an ordinary Foundation Establishment third level disciple to withstand it.
Seeing that the ice sword was about to reach him, Zhang Chen patted the beast breeding bag and used his huge White Bone True Body to block in front of him.
“Ding!”
Bone fragments flew, and the ice sword left a deep sword mark on the White Bone True Body.
“The White Bone True Body of the White Bone Palace!” The male disciple of the Silver Moon Sect was also quite surprised, but his hand did not stop moving. The ice sword turned around and attacked Zhang Chen again.
The White Bone True Body was slow to respond and could not keep up with the speed of the flying sword.
Zhang Chen took out the Mad Blood Saber from his storage bag, and with the Burst Blood Technique enhancing his arm, he slashed at the ice sword.
“Ding!” The ice sword was knocked away.
Although there was no direct contact, the cold air carried by the ice sword still made Zhang Chen’s hand go cold, almost unable to hold onto the saber.
It was evident how powerful the cold air was. If he was injured, at least half of his body would freeze, and a lot of mana would have to be consumed to remove it.
After two consecutive sword blocks, the male disciple of the Silver Moon Sect was also a little surprised, “Junior Sister, let’s attack together!”
“Yes, Senior Brother. Ice Soul Cold Light!”
The ice sword and the cold light attacked together.
Zhang Chen patted the beast breeding bag again and released a second level Foundation Establishment demon beast with a slave mark on its forehead.
It was the same demon beast that he had obtained after killing Wu Chang and had already been controlled by him with a beast slave mark.
The Foundation Establishment demon beast took the initiative to face the cold
light, while the White Bone True Body waved its arms and grabbed the ice sword.
The demon beast spewed out a yellow light, but it couldn’t resist the cold light and was hit by it. Its body was covered with a layer of frost and fell from the air.
The ice sword suddenly turned and circled around the White Bone True Body, continuing to slash towards Zhang Chen.
Blood Burst Technique!
Zhang Chen brandished his saber to block again.
“Ding! ”
Another failure made the man’s face look ugly, and the woman next to him was even more anxious. After all, there were pursuers behind them.
“Don’t worry about him. We’ll just rush over!”
If the two of them wanted to leave, they had to ask Zhang Chentong for his permission.
Spirit Blood Technique!
Several blood snakes sprouted from Zhang Chen’s body like iron chains, biting towards the two people.
At the same time, another 10 Blood God Sons flew out of his body and blocked in front of the two people.
The two were both angry and anxious. They didn’t expect a Foundation
Establishment stage level three cultivator to have so many tricks up his sleeve.
“Get out of my way!” The man roared and controlled the ice sword to slash towards one of the Blood God Sons.
The flying sword was too fast. Before the Blood God could react, it was split in half and frozen into an ice block. It could not recover for a while.
When the flying sword wanted to slash at the second Blood God Son, Zhang Chen simply let the Blood God Son self-destruct. “Demon Disintegration Technique, explode! ”
“Boom!” The flying sword was blown away.
The man quickly performed a sword incantation and recalled his flying sword.
The woman was not idle either. She held a mirror in her hand and shone it on the blood snakes.
The blood snakes froze and became sluggish.
However, in this short period of time, the White Bone True Body’s bone palm had already fallen towards the two.
“Retreat!”
The White Bone True Body was extremely powerful. The two of them did not choose to resist it head-on and quickly retreated.
Because there were other Blood God Sect disciples not far away, Zhang Chen did not release all of his Blood God Sons.
With his cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage Level Three, using all his means to resist a Foundation Establishment Stage Level Six and Level Four cultivator was already his limit.
At this moment, the four Blood God disciples finally arrived.
After surrounding the Silver Moon Sect disciples, the leader, a Foundation Establishment stage level seven cultivator, smiled and said, “Thank you, junior brother, for stopping the two of them for us. You can leave now.”
The implication was that they didn’t want to share the spoils with Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen’s eyes were cold.
In theory, with the speed of Blood Escape Technique, the four Blood God Sect disciples should have arrived earlier.
Unless they intentionally slowed down.
The purpose of doing so was likely to use the hands of the two Silver Moon Sect disciples to kill him and obtain his blood essence.
Elder Black Blood was in the Shanyue Kingdom, and they dared not kill their fellow sect members, but they could use the hands of the Silver Moon Sect!
Now that they saw the Silver Moon Sect disciples couldn’t kill him, they finally arrived..
