115: Chapter 115 The Blood Shadow Sect's Night Raid

Soon, everyone had finished gathering outside and entered the stone gate.

After entering, they discovered that the interior was a passage a hundred zhang wide.

The stone walls on both sides of the passage were covered with murals.

The paintings depicted scenes from the heyday of the Wandu Sect, with countless Disciples fighting while controlling poison, poison clouds blotting out the sky, and enemies falling in rows.

Right in the center of the picture was an old man in white robes with a blurry face.

He stood above the poison clouds, one hand pointing to the sky and the other to the earth, with thousands of Disciples bowing in worship behind him.

Qi Yang glanced at the mural, his eyes narrowing slightly.

This old man in white robes should be the Sect Master of the Wandu Sect.

Judging from the aura remaining on the mural, this person was at least a strong expert of the Nascent Soul Stage during his lifetime, and might even be higher.

The team continued forward.

At the end of the passage, five fork roads appeared.

The entrance of each fork road was filled with poisonous miasma of different colors.

Gold, green, blue, red, and yellow.

Respectively corresponding to the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The Foundation Establishment Elders of the major Sects who had entered earlier had already taken their people in. Elder You Ke of the Xuantian Sect cultivated the Gengjin Cultivation Technique, and he led Core Disciples such as Su Qinghan to choose the Gold Poison Passage.

The Blood Shadow Sect chose the Fire Poison Passage.

The Qingyu Sect chose the Wood Poison Passage.

Ziyang Valley chose the Water Poison Passage.

The Houtu Sect naturally chose the Earth Poison Passage.

And the handyman gathering team led by Fang Chu was arranged to move around the area near the fork.

"Listen to me carefully. A large number of mutated poisonous weeds grow in this nearby area, and your task is to gather these poisonous weeds."

Fang Chu pointed to an area around the fork.

"The more you gather, the more Spirit Stone rewards you will get. But if anyone dares to slack off or hide anything privately, don't blame me for being impolite."

After speaking, Fang Chu scanned everyone with a cold gaze.

The handymen nodded one after another, not daring to retort.

Qi Yang also had a docile appearance, lowering his head and keeping silent.

Fang Chu nodded with satisfaction, then led the team to start searching in the surrounding area.

Although the poisonous miasma in this area was thin, it was still not a place where Cultivators of the Qi Refining Stage could stay for a long time. In less than half an hour, two handymen fell to the ground and convulsed due to inhaling too much poisonous miasma.

Fang Chu didn't even look at them and directly ordered the others to move on.

"Dead is dead. Keeping trash is also a waste of resources."

He said coldly.

Qi Yang walked at the very back of the team, looking panicked on the surface, but sneering inwardly.

This Fang Chu was a typical bully of the weak and fearer of the strong. He was cruel to the handymen, but respectful to the people above like a dog. Such a person deserved to die.

The team wandered around the surrounding area for most of the day and gathered quite a few mutated poisonous weeds.

Fang Chu was very satisfied, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Not bad, not bad. At this speed, I can get a lot of credit this time back."

He turned to look at Qi Yang.

"Old fellow, you are still somewhat useful, and you didn't drag the team down in vain."

Qi Yang hunched his waist and smiled ingratiatingly.

"Thank you for the praise, Senior Brother Fang. This old man will definitely continue to work hard."

Fang Chu snorted and ignored him anymore.

The sky gradually darkened, and the major Sects began to camp and rest on the periphery of the ruins.

The camp of the Xuantian Sect was set up in a relatively safe open area, surrounded by a simple defensive Formation.

Qi Yang, along with the handymen, was arranged at the very edge of the camp.

He curled up in a shabby tent. On the surface, he was resting his eyes, but in reality, his spiritual sense had been secretly monitoring the movements around him.

It was late at night, and most people in the camp had fallen asleep, but Qi Yang noticed something unusual.

His spiritual sense swept across the direction of the Blood Shadow Sect's camp and found several auras moving quietly over there.

Moreover, the intensity of these auras...

"Foundation Establishment Stage."

Qi Yang's eyes turned cold.

What is the Blood Shadow Sect trying to do?

He didn't make a fuss, just observed silently.

At the third quarter of the Zi hour, three auras quietly sneaked out from the direction of the Blood Shadow Sect's camp.

Qi Yang's spiritual sense firmly locked onto these three people.

Two of the auras were Early Foundation Establishment, while the leading aura...

Middle Stage Foundation Establishment!

"The Blood Shadow Sect is going to launch a night raid on the Xuantian Sect's camp."

Qi Yang sneered in his heart.

Losing a Foundation Establishment Elder during the day, the Blood Shadow Sect couldn't swallow this breath, and they were going to get it back with interest.

However, what did this have to do with him?

He, Qi Yang, was just a half-dead handyman old man. He didn't want to get involved in the fights between such Foundation Establishment Stage Elders. Sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight was the Righteous Path.

The three auras were getting closer and closer, and the defensive Formation on the periphery of the Xuantian Sect's camp suddenly lit up.

"Who!"

A violent shout rang out, and Elder You Ke, the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Elder of the Xuantian Sect, rushed out of the tent quickly, his whole body bursting with terrifying Spiritual Pressure.

"Blood Shadow old dogs, you are courting death!"

Elder You Ke condensed a long golden sword in his hand and slashed directly towards the darkness.

Boom!

The golden Sword Qi tore through the night sky, illuminating the entire camp.

The three Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Blood Shadow Sect were exposed under the sword light. The leader was none other than the Second Elder of the Blood Shadow Sect, with Three Spiritual Roots and a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

"Elder You Ke, you killed the Elder of our Blood Shadow Sect, today I will take your life in return!"

The Second Elder of the Blood Shadow Sect roared, and the blood Qi on his whole body erupted, turning into a giant bloody palm, which violently collided with Elder You Ke's golden Sword Qi.

Rumble!

The terrifying spiritual power fluctuations swept out, and the trees around the camp were razed to the ground.

The Disciples of the Xuantian Sect were awakened one after another, throwing them into chaos.

"Enemy attack!"

"It's the people of the Blood Shadow Sect!"

"Quick, form a Formation for defense!"

Su Qinghan also rushed out of the tent. She held the hanpo sword, looking at the distant battlefield with cold eyes.

"Can Master handle it?"

A Senior Brother beside her said in a deep voice.

"Two against one, Elder You Ke is afraid..."

Before the words fell, two more auras erupted from the depths of the Xuantian Sect's camp.

They were the other two Early Foundation Establishment Elders of the Xuantian Sect!

They had been lying in ambush in the dark, and at this moment they suddenly struck, directly blocking the two Early Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Blood Shadow Sect.

"Scumbags of the Blood Shadow Sect, did you think we were unprepared?"

Elder You Ke sneered, and the golden sword in his hand slashed out again.

The Second Elder of the Blood Shadow Sect's expression changed, obviously not expecting that the Xuantian Sect had been prepared long ago.

"Retreat!"

He roared, his blood Qi erupted violently, repelling Elder You Ke, and turned around to flee.

The other two Early Foundation Establishment members of the Blood Shadow Sect did not dare to linger in the fight, and they all used escaping arts to escape.

Elder You Ke did not pursue, because spiritual senses from the camps of the other Three Major Sects had already swept over, obviously alarmed by the commotion here.

"Hmph, consider yourselves lucky to run fast."

Elder You Ke put away the golden sword and turned back to the camp.

Although this night raid did not cause heavy casualties, the atmosphere of the entire camp became extremely depressed, and everyone realized that this trip to the ruins was far more dangerous than imagined.

Qi Yang curled up in the tent, seemingly shivering with fright, but in reality, he was completely clear in his mind.

"The Five Major Sects reached an agreement on the surface, but actually they all want to monopolize the treasures in the ruins. This has just begun, and they have already fallen out."

"The more chaotic it is, the better. There will be more opportunities to fish in troubled waters by then."

He closed his eyes and continued to feign sleep.

Early the next morning, the major Sects accelerated the progress of exploring the ruins. No one wanted to waste time outside and become a target for others.

The gathering team led by Fang Chu was also required to go hundreds of meters deep into the five fork roads to gather the high-grade mutated poisonous weeds growing there.

"Pull yourselves together, today's task quota is doubled!"

Fang Chu ordered with a cold face.

Although the handymen were scared in their hearts, they didn't dare to resist and could only bite the bullet and follow.

The team arrived at the fork again, and the poisonous miasma of the five passages converged here, forming a colorful toxic fog area.

Qi Yang's gaze swept across the five passages.

In the Gold Poison Passage, Su Qinghan and Elder You Ke went in.

The people of the Blood Shadow Sect entered the Fire Poison Passage.

The Water Poison Passage was taken by the people of Ziyang Valley.

As for the Earth Poison Passage, this time two Sects entered together: the Houtu Sect and the Qingyu Sect.

As for the Wood Poison Passage...

Qi Yang's gaze lingered at the entrance of the Wood Poison Passage for a moment.

This passage was the most desolate. Yesterday, the people of the Qingyu Sect chose this one, but suffered heavy losses and had the least harvest. Coupled with the fact that none of the Five Major Sects excelled in the wood-attribute poison Dao, this road was surprisingly ignored by everyone today.
