184: Zishanjun

Purple Flame County, Purple Flame Demon Sect, Flame God Hall.

A white-haired man with a sinister expression sat on the main seat, dressed in a purple robe, his body exuding a weathered quality, and a strange smile on his face.

Below him were three Grand Elders of the Purple Flame Demon Sect, two of whom were Peerless Grandmasters, and one a Peerless Grandmaster.

All looked at him with respectful eyes.

The Third Grand Elder, Zhang Bai, cupped his hands towards the purple-robed man on the main seat and said, “Purple Mountain Monarch, this Chu Jiang is audacious and reckless.

He first inexplicably killed our Young Sect Master of the Purple Flame Demon Sect, then indiscriminately wiped out Myriad Sound Valley.

His crimes are unforgivable.

I implore Senior to quickly apprehend this person to serve as a warning!”

The Second Grand Elder, Zhang Qian, also spoke, “This child's growth is rapid, and he is a great hidden danger to our Purple Flame Demon Sect.

Previously, we focused our efforts on rescuing Senior, which allowed him to survive.

In less than three months, he has grown into a Peerless Grandmaster!”

The First Grand Elder, Hong Tianxiao, had an even more ashen face, his eyes filled with extreme killing intent.

His most beloved concubine, who had returned to Myriad Sound Valley recently, was swept away by Chu Jiang, leaving no bones.

A century of affection, now forever separated by death.

He wished he could flay him and tear out his tendons to vent his hatred.

“You all expended resources and effort to help me emerge from seclusion.

I will naturally not stand idly by.”

“Within three days, he will surely die!”

Purple Mountain Monarch's tone was calm, as if stating a very ordinary matter, without any emotional fluctuations.

“Thank you, Purple Mountain Monarch.

This Chu Jiang will sooner or later target us.

Why don't we strike first, capture those close to him, torture them severely, and then force him to submit!”

Hong Tianxiao said coldly.

Publicly, the tragic death of the Young Sect Master of the Purple Flame Demon Sect meant that their temporary retreat did not imply they would always let it go.

Privately, with his wife and concubine, who had accompanied him for a century, tragically dead, he was even less likely to let Chu Jiang go.

He must die.

He now only wanted to retaliate in the same way, making him pay a painful price.

“You all can do as you please with this matter.

Anyway, within three days, Chu Jiang will surely die.

Those related to him are merely ants; you can torment them however you wish!”

Purple Mountain Monarch said indifferently, “How are the blood sacrifices for this Sect Master prepared?

Although I have emerged from seclusion and my strength has greatly increased, the drawbacks are also more severe.”

“Fifty martial artists are needed each month.

If they are ordinary people, prepare two hundred strong ones, or infant blood.

Once this Sect Master breaks through the shackles, I will surpass the Ancestral Master and become the number one person in Yun Province!”

“Senior, the blood sacrifices you requested have been prepared.

They are all extremely fresh and delicious!”

“They are in the underground palace.

We will not disturb Senior's Cultivation!”

The three Grand Elders rose and left the Flame God Hall.

Catching some low-level commoners, without anyone knowing, coupled with the local government's cover-up, as long as it wasn't too excessive, basically no one would know.

As for lone Loose Cultivators and knights, they were even easier to catch.

Countless people went missing every year, and it caused no stir at all.

No matter how the times changed, they would always be the upper class.

Even if demons ruled the world, they would become intermediaries for the demons, managing these lower-class people.

Purple Mountain Monarch arrived at the underground palace.

Indeed, a large number of blood sacrifices had been prepared, even exceeding expectations, nearly three hundred people in total: two hundred and fifty ordinary people and fifty martial artists.

“Let us out, damn it, what kind of hellish place is this!”

A martial artist with a sallow face roared.

He had only returned to his hometown to visit his old mother when he was suddenly brought here.

“Stop knocking.

Maybe this is a demon's lair, and soon demons will come and eat us all.”

The other martial artists said in despair.

Some of them were drugged, some were ambushed, some were robbed, and then brought to this place.

This wretched place, at first glance, was not fit for humans; it was bloody and eerie.

At this moment, a strange voice entered everyone's ears.

“Congratulations, you guessed correctly!”

“Too bad there's no prize!”

Purple Mountain Monarch suddenly entered the underground palace, his face extremely distorted, transforming into a huge human demon, revealing bloody fangs.

“It's a human demon, run!”

The martial artists were terrified and quickly fled.

The underground palace was large enough, and the martial artists who had just been gathered together scattered in all directions.

“This Sect Master enjoys such stimulating games!”

Purple Mountain Monarch was now like a brutal beast, tearing apart all the martial artists in his path, their Qi, blood, and marrow completely absorbed.

Splash!

The martial artist's body was forcibly torn in half, his internal organs bursting, and swallowed by Purple Mountain Monarch in one gulp.

In the underground palace, blood flowed like a river, and the scene was unbearable to witness.

“Mommy, I'm scared!”

A seven or eight-year-old girl said tremblingly, clinging to her mother's embrace.

The mother was equally afraid but powerless to change their fate, merely hugging the girl tightly, awaiting the arrival of death.

“Mommy will always be with you!”

There were not a few people who acted like the mother and daughter.

Under the exploitation of the government, they struggled to survive, not daring to resist.

When they were hunted by demons, they could only resign themselves to fate.

When they were captured by Jianghu sects, they didn't even know who captured them.

It wasn't that they didn't resist; it was that they had no capital to resist.

Besides death, what kind of ripples could they create?

No one cared about the lives of the common people.

Their only value was to provide the fuel for this decaying machine to operate.

The next second.

Pfft!

The mother and daughter were covered in blood, their bodies separated.

In just half an hour.

Three hundred people were completely devoured, including martial artists, strong men under forty, women, and even young children.

“Burp~”

Purple Mountain Monarch patted his belly, a look of contentment on his face.

“What an intoxicating taste!”

The next moment.

His figure vanished from the spot.

...

Outer Hall.

“Where do we start, White Stone County?” Zhang Bai said in a deep voice.

Chu Jiang's hometown was White Stone County, and many people there were related to him.

“White Stone County, although Chu Jiang stayed there the longest, all those related to him were brought by him into the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, so we can't lay a hand on them!”

Zhang Qian responded.

“Aren't his two subordinates recruiting for the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division at the Heavens Pride Gathering recently?” Hong Tianxiao grinned sinisterly, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.

“Let's take a little interest from those two first.

I remember that bitch Fu Yunxuan was the most vicious in tormenting Xiao'er!”

She must suffer every kind of torture.

Now that the Purple Flame Demon Sect had Purple Mountain Monarch, this great figure, overseeing it, they no longer needed to curry favor with anyone.

What about Yu Xu Palace, and what about Ye Lingkong?

Once Purple Mountain Monarch broke through, they would all be ants.

As for Chu Jiang, Purple Mountain Monarch said he would die in three days, and so he would.

He was already a dead man.

“Let's go!”
