Chapter 361: The Disciple Returns!
"Haha, I didn’t expect that such a small region like the Black-Corner Domain could bring together a lineup with a Five-Star Dou Venerate and two Four-Star Dou Venerates."
Blood Heavenly Venerable laughed loudly, then turned his gaze to Ye Ming, questioning him, "Ye Ming, you’ve colluded with outsiders to deal with me. If the Four Heavenly Venerates learn of this, do you think you’ll have a good outcome?"
"And you two, do you know who I am? My relationship with the Four Heavenly Venerates runs deep. If the Four Heavenly Venerates come after you, then..."
Before Blood Heavenly Venerable could finish his long-winded threat, Gu He’s face showed clear impatience. In the next moment, he used his "Ascension Step" technique to appear in front of the Soul Hall’s Heavenly Venerable and landed a punch straight on his mouth.
The force of the punch, powerful enough to shatter space, crushed the bones in Blood Heavenly Venerable’s face.
"Ah!"
With a miserable scream, Blood Heavenly Venerable, like Ye Ming before him, began plummeting toward the ground.
Even as Blood Heavenly Venerable lost his ability to fight back, Gu He didn’t stop. He repeatedly kicked him into the air, then let him fall again. After this cycle repeated three times, Blood Heavenly Venerable’s consciousness began to blur.
"That should be enough!"
Seeing the state of Blood Heavenly Venerable, Gu He finally ceased his assault. His clone rushed over, waved his hand, and suspended Blood Heavenly Venerable’s body in midair.
Just like when he dealt with Ye Ming, Gu He first ensured that Blood Heavenly Venerable lost some of his consciousness before surging his soul force into the man’s body, preparing to plant a puppet seed.
Although Blood Heavenly Venerable’s soul was much stronger than Ye Ming’s, he was still only at the Mortal Realm in terms of his soul, so Gu He had no trouble using the ancient puppet seed technique on him.
In just one hour, a transparent crystal appeared deep within Blood Heavenly Venerable’s soul. When the transparent threads from the crystal spread throughout his entire soul, Gu He withdrew his soul force.
From Blood Heavenly Venerable’s memories, Gu He learned that the Soul Hall branch he resided over was located in the desolate northern region of Central Province, and Blood Heavenly Venerable was the highest-ranking official in that branch.
In the northern region of Central Province, the strongest faction on the surface was the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Its strongest member, Lei Zun, was only a low-rank Dou Venerate and couldn’t last a round against Blood Heavenly Venerable. This comparison showed just how hidden and unimaginable the Soul Hall’s true strength was.
Aside from learning about this Soul Hall branch, Gu He also found out that Blood Heavenly Venerable had a nominal master-disciple relationship with the Four Heavenly Venerates’ Xue He.
From Blood Heavenly Venerable’s memories, the Four Heavenly Venerate Xue He had already reached the peak of Nine-Star Dou Venerate strength many years ago.
However, Gu He knew even more about Xue He than Blood Heavenly Venerable did. At this time, Xue He was likely already at the peak of Nine-Star Dou Venerate, just a step away from becoming a Half-Saint. Moreover, Xue He practiced an extremely powerful Heaven-rank beginner-level Dou Technique called the Blood Transformation Art, allowing him to remotely manipulate his enemies’ blood, causing them to explode from within.
"Kassida, now that you’re the second-in-command, remember this: in my absence, no member is allowed to break the rules of the Elder Brother Mercenary Group!"
Upon hearing Liu Ling’s words, Kassida straightened up and responded loudly, "Don’t worry, Leader! I will strictly enforce the rules you’ve set."
"Good. Here are some pills I made myself; keep them for emergencies!" Liu Ling nodded in approval, then took out a dozen jade bottles and handed them to Kassida.
After finishing these preparations, a pair of crimson wings suddenly unfolded from Liu Ling’s back. Together with Xiao Jin, he flew away from the city where he had spent nearly a year.
...
Meanwhile, at the gate of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect in the Chu Yun Empire, a fierce battle had just ended.
Ever since the sect master of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, Liu Rulong, disappeared, the people from the Demon Poison Sect had been aggressively taking over the Ten Thousand Poison Sect’s territory. Under the overwhelming strength of Hua An, who was at the Dou Emperor level, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect were forced to retreat step by step, until they were confined within their sect.
Today was the day of the Demon Poison Sect’s final assault on the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. After a crushing massacre, the remaining disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect surrendered one by one.
"From now on, in the Chu Yun Empire, all poison masters will bow to the Demon Poison Sect!" Hua An, who had lost one arm, hovered in the air above the massive square at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, declaring the sect's destruction as the remaining elders and disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect submitted.
"Hahaha! Hua An, your tone is quite arrogant! Do you think that by destroying a small sect like the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, you’ve become invincible in the world?"
