305: Chapter 305 Demon Seed

Zhao Residence, Main Hall.

Chen Hu was not the owner, but he occupied the main seat without any hesitation.

The high-ranking members of the Zhao family, however, showed no dissatisfaction; every face wore a look of flattery and obsequiousness.

"Speak!"

Chen Hu picked up the spiritual tea and took a sip.

The next moment, Zhao Chengfeng stood up: "Great Commander, our Zhao family is willing to offer ninety percent of our assets, we only ask that the Great Commander grant our Zhao family a way to survive!"

"Your Zhao family is already meat on my chopping block, yet you dare to negotiate with me?"

Chen Hu put down the teacup, his tone filled with ridicule: "Besides, I killed your family head, which has already formed a deadly feud with your Zhao family.

Although I am not worried about your future retaliation, keeping you around is always a trouble. Don't you think that makes sense?"

Hearing this, the Zhao family members felt their pressure increase significantly.

Zhao Chengfeng bit the bullet and said: "Great Commander, your words are reasonable!"

Then, he clapped his hands, and immediately several people were brought in, bound.

Zhao Chengfeng pointed at them and said: "Great Commander, these people are Governor-General Zhao Tianqing's wife and children. Although Governor-General Zhao Tianqing is the head of our Zhao family, he is just one branch of our family. He set himself against the Great Commander and deserves to die. To show our sincerity, we will eliminate everyone from Governor-General Zhao Tianqing's branch.

From now on, our entire Zhao family will completely obey the Great Commander's orders.

We beg the Great Commander to grant our Zhao family a way to survive!"

The next moment, Zhao Chengfeng took the lead and knelt down, and the other high-ranking members of the Zhao family followed suit.

Chen Hu activated the Eye of Insight to check.

He found that the friendliness of this group of high-ranking Zhao family members was all positive, not a single negative value.

Moreover, Zhao Chengfeng's friendliness had reached 72 points.

Clearly, they were genuinely surrendering.

Seeing Chen Hu remained silent, Zhao Chengfeng continued: "Great Commander, the resources of Lingzhou are occupied by other Blood Refining families and Jianghu Sects. If the Great Commander wants to deal with them, our Zhao family is willing to charge into battle for the Great Commander!"

Hearing this, Chen Hu's eyes brightened slightly, and an idea occurred to him: "If you can wipe out the forces of Mingjian Villa in Lingzhou City, your Zhao family can live, and I will only take fifty percent of your assets!"

"Thank you, Great Commander!" Zhao Chengfeng was overjoyed and immediately expressed his gratitude.

The others also let out a sigh of relief and followed suit.

"All of you, get up!"

Chen Hu said: "I will give you ten days to prove yourselves. If you cannot do it within ten days, then there is no need for your Zhao family to exist!"

"Great Commander, rest assured, ten days is enough!"

Zhao Chengfeng quickly promised.

Although Mingjian Villa is strong, their Foundation is not in Lingzhou City.

Therefore, it would not be difficult for their Zhao family to wipe out the forces of Mingjian Villa within the city.

Meanwhile.

In a deep mountain in Tulong Prefecture, inside a limestone cave.

Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter rang out: "It's done, I have finally reached the Golden Core Realm!"

After devouring a large amount of blood Qi, Zhou Yan finally condensed a blood-colored Golden Core.

Following this, a dull aura appeared, pressing down on him until he could barely breathe.

Zhou Yan knew this was the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation coming.

He immediately put away the surrounding Formation and flashed out of the cave.

Sure enough, several acres of dark, thick tribulation clouds had gathered in the sky, with electric light occasionally flashing within them.

Seeing the tribulation clouds in the sky, Zhou Yan was not panicked but happy.

Because he discovered that the tribulation clouds in this mountain seemed too weak.

He had also observed demonic Cultivators Undergoing Tribulation.

For demonic Cultivators, Undergoing Tribulation is the greatest test of life.

If ten demonic Cultivators undergo the Golden Core Tribulation, it would be good if two survived.

Because the cultivation of demonic Cultivators is raised through slaughter, their tribulation is generally much stronger than that encountered by Righteous Path Cultivators.

"It seems I am a person with great Luck!" Withdrawing his gaze, Zhou Yan thought secretly.

If he didn't have Luck by his side, he wouldn't have been chased to this world.

After his Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, the power of the Lightning Tribulation was not strong, and he had full confidence in surviving it.

The next moment.

A bolt of heavenly lightning descended from the sky.

"Boom!"

The heavenly lightning exploded above Zhou Yan's head but was blocked by his Soul Refining Banner.

However, thousands of Souls within the Soul Refining Banner were consumed.

But Zhou Yan didn't care about this at all.

He had previously absorbed hundreds of thousands of Souls, and although a portion was used to upgrade the Soul Refining Banner.

There were still over 300,000 Souls left.

Therefore, consuming a few thousand Souls did not pain him at all; in any case, there were billions of Souls in this world waiting for him to collect.

"Boom!"

The second bolt of heavenly lightning followed closely.

It was still blocked by the Soul Refining Banner.

"Too weak!" Zhou Yan shook his head. The Heavenly Tribulation of this world was ninety percent weaker than that of the Great Cultivation World.

The third bolt.

The fourth bolt.

The fifth bolt.

...

Unknowingly, Zhou Yan had already survived eight bolts of lightning.

It was very easy.

It only consumed tens of thousands of Souls.

The other means he had prepared for the tribulation were not even needed.

"Boom!"

The last bolt of heavenly lightning fell, its power significantly stronger than the previous eight, but only to a limited extent.

After consuming more than 30,000 Souls.

The Soul Refining Banner held up.

And Zhou Yan successfully survived this Lightning Tribulation.

"Find a place to stabilize my cultivation, and once it is stabilized, I will continue to plunder blood Qi and Souls!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan felt somewhat impatient.

He immediately returned to the cave to stabilize his cultivation.

Meanwhile.

Great Cultivation World, Heavenly Demon Sect.

Forbidden Ground in the back mountain.

Inside a dark and deep hall.

A withered old man, who looked like a dried corpse sitting cross-legged, suddenly had a surge of Life Qi.

Then, he opened his eyes.

The corners of his mouth pulled into a stiff smile: "Not bad, not bad, another Demonic Seed has broken through to the Golden Core Realm. Come, let the Old Ancestor see how you broke through?"

The withered old man pinched out a hand seal.

Then, he successfully connected with that Demonic Seed located at a great distance.

He checked the memories in the Demonic Seed's mind unhurriedly.

Immediately, an expression of excitement appeared on his face.

Never expected that the Demonic Seed, while being chased, actually fell into a world without Cultivators.

And that world had a population of billions.

As the saying goes, Immortals and Demons cannot coexist.

Even though the Heavenly Demon Sect is one of the top Sects in the Great Cultivation World, they would not dare to slaughter tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people all at once.

Once they dared to do so, they would face a joint siege by Righteous Path Cultivators.

Therefore, over the years.

The Heavenly Demon Sect had also changed its approach.

They would pass down problematic Cultivation Techniques to those Loose Cultivators through opportunities.

Let these Loose Cultivators go and slaughter living beings.

Once these Loose Cultivators reached the Golden Core Realm, they, as the people behind the scenes, would come to harvest.

As an Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, his cultivation had reached the Peak of the Spirit Severing Realm.

Being able to reach this Realm had a lot to do with him cultivating Demonic Seeds.

Over the years, he had harvested 18 Demonic Seeds that reached the Golden Core Realm, and 2 Demonic Seeds that reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

He only needed to harvest five more Demonic Seeds to break through the Spirit Severing Realm and reach the Dao Integration Realm.

And the Dao Integration Realm is a super powerhouse in the Great Cultivation World.

Thinking of the billions of people in that world.

The withered old man knew that he certainly couldn't eat it all by himself.

If he sold this information to the Sect, he should be able to gain quite a few benefits.

Thinking of this, the withered old man slowly stood up and disappeared with one step.

Reappearing, he had already arrived outside the Sect Master's hall.
