433: The Ninth Blood Sacrifice Formation, Corpse Monk and Thousand-Handed Demon Monk

“Alright, that’s enough!”

Cui Judge shook his head slightly, interrupting the conversation between the great Yin Shuai.

“The situation is urgent, so I’ll make a long story short. Wu Ling King has already set up eight Blood Sacrifice Spirit Ascension Arrays in Lan Prefecture, and there is one more located in Yue Province.”

“We have already located eight of them, but one Blood Sacrifice Array remains, and we don’t know where it is located.”

“After extensive investigation, it is suspected to be near Tianshui County, in the area close to the Shen Yue Great Marsh, but multiple searches have yielded no results.”

“It must be concealed by a special treasure, allowing it to evade detection!”

Chu Jiang asked, “Do all nine Blood Sacrifice Arrays need to be destroyed? Will it succeed if even one remains?”

Cui Judge said, “That’s not the case. We only need to successfully destroy five of the nine Blood Sacrifice Arrays for him to largely fail.”

“But to be safe, it’s best to find the last one and destroy it as well!”

Chu Jiang frowned and continued, “Why not go directly to Wu Prefecture, kill Wu Ling King, and eliminate the source?”

Bullhead laughed, “Brother Chu, you don’t know. Wu Ling King, as the current Chu Emperor’s imperial uncle, Cultivates top-tier imperial family Cultivation Techniques and possesses many trump cards. He has three Clones alone. As long as one of his Clones exists, he will not die.”

“Even if we go to Wu Prefecture and kill his Clones, it won’t be of much use.”

“On the contrary, if he wants to use the Blood Sacrifice Array to Breakthrough to the Rongtian Stage, his three Clones must merge into one and cannot be separated. Only within the Blood Sacrifice Array is it possible to completely kill him.”

“Therefore, we are concerned about this last Blood Sacrifice Array. If he hides there, even if we destroy the other arrays and his Breakthrough fails, his true body would not be harmed, and he could still make a comeback.”

“We speculate that Wu Ling King’s true body is hidden within this last undiscovered array. He is cunning and will definitely leave himself a way out.”

Chu Jiang finally understood. Yan Luo Temple had been monitoring Wu Ling King for a long time, knowing his every move.

Even the Blood Sacrifice Array, a secret among secrets, known almost only to his trusted confidants, was known to Yan Luo Temple.

Their intelligence capabilities were simply terrifying.

Now, he felt more and more that Yan Luo Temple was not like an assassination organization at all, but rather resembled an official organization.

A bold idea arose in his mind.

Could this Yan Luo Temple be a force secretly cultivated by Great Chu?

Otherwise, such a massive force with intelligence integration capabilities, if not controlled by the government, would be too frightening.

He just didn’t know who the controller behind this force was.

But it certainly couldn’t be the Demon Suppression Division. He was already the Lord Shao Si of the Demon Suppression Division. If Yan Luo Temple belonged to the Demon Suppression Division, Zu Cang and other high-ranking officials would have informed him long ago.

Jixia Academy was unlikely. This force might have been capable before, but now it’s good if they don’t cause trouble.

Behind the scenes, he didn't know what they were plotting.

Once he became a formal member, he should know some secrets, such as the true identities of the Three Yan Kings.

It is also possible that the master of Yan Luo Temple has a close relationship with the Great Chu Dynasty, which is why they cooperate.

“I will take care of this last Blood Sacrifice Array!”

Chu Jiang said. His ultimate goal in coming to Three Prefectures was to kill Wu Ling King, so he naturally couldn't let it fall into other hands.

“I will have the Demon Suppression Guard and the Tiger Brave Army assist with all their might!”

“Excellent!”

Horseface said in a deep voice.

Chu Jiang’s personal guards, as well as the Tiger Brave Army, were elites among elites, and they would be an important force in the operation to destroy the Blood Sacrifice Array.

To protect the array, Wu Ling King would definitely dispatch a large number of powerful experts from his mansion.

And the masters he hired at great expense.

To completely suppress and kill Wu Ling King and prevent him from making a comeback, Yan Luo Temple had already gathered most of its high-ranking members, and with Chu Jiang as a powerful aid, there should be no accidents.

In any case, with a Yan King-level expert overseeing the situation at the end, there would be no surprises.

After Cui Judge assigned their respective tasks, he said in a deep voice, “Now, let’s act individually. If anything happens, contact us through the Black Mirror!”

“Chu Jiang, I’ll add you to the official member group first!”

Immediately.

Cui Judge operated on the Black Mirror, adding Chu Jiang to the official member group.

Chu Jiang checked the Black Mirror.

He found that he had entered a new group with twelve people.

Seven Yin Shuai:

Day Roaming God, Night Roaming God, Black and White Impermanence, Bullhead, Horseface, Wasp.

Cui Judge, Meng Po.

Three Yan Kings:

King Guang of Qin, King Taishan, King Song.

A full roster should be twenty-two people; ten are still missing.

After Cui Judge assigned the Blood Sacrifice Arrays each was responsible for, they all dispersed.

Chu Jiang returned to the army and assigned the task of intercepting the Blood Sacrifice Arrays, a total of three. As for him, he went alone to the edge of Tianshui County, to the location of the Shen Yue Great Marsh.

Logically, the Blood Sacrifice Array should be set up in densely populated areas, such as county seats or towns, but Yan Luo Temple’s people searched several times and found no clues.

But Chu Jiang did not intend to let it go, lest he miss it.

The True King's Eye, coupled with his Rongtian Stage Soul, made his search efficiency far surpass that of others. He might even discover an unexpected delight.

…

Tianshui County, Dragon Carp County.

Fifty li west, three thousand meters underground.

A beautiful and aloof woman, holding the You King's Residual Cauldron, looked at the altar in the sea of blood. Ninety-nine boys and girls, with golden-red bloodlines seeping from their foreheads, wove a monstrous blood net in the sea of blood.

“Fox Fairy Niangniang, our Blood Sacrifice Array here is extremely secret. Even if they search the heavens, they won’t be able to find it.”

A chubby Monk chuckled, with more than a dozen deformed arms growing from his back, like a demonized Monk demon.

This was the most crucial Blood Sacrifice Array, the control center for the nine Blood Sacrifice Arrays. The King would sacrifice all spirits in Lan Prefecture here to Breakthrough to the Rongtian Stage.

Therefore, three layers of arrays were set up here. The outermost layer was the Heaven-Confusing Array, which even a Rongtian Stage expert would find difficult to discover.

The second layer was the Thick Earth Golden Wall Array. Without a token, even a top-twenty expert on the Heaven Ranking would be crushed into a meat patty upon entering.

The third layer was the Life-Giving Elemental Transformation Array, which provided energy for the first two layers. As long as the third layer was not broken, the first two layers would not break.

Three sets of Fifth-Grade Arrays.

They complemented each other, sustaining themselves endlessly, almost impregnable and foolproof.

“Hiss… Even if someone discovers it, they won’t be able to break in!”

A thin Monk with a tumor on his head, wearing a blood-colored kasaya, and emanating a putrid aura, licked his blood-red lips and said sinisterly.

Behind him, he controlled hundreds of Corpse Puppets, all with vacant eyes.

The two were the Corpse Monk, the leader of the top ten experts of the Wu Spirit Royal Mansion, and the Thousand-Handed Devil Monk, ranked second.

The two were once eminent monks of Vajra Zen Temple, one of the Ten Righteous Sects.

Later, they violated precepts, were expelled from the temple, fell into the Demonic Path, and were later recruited by Wu Ling King at great expense to serve as his retainers.

Suddenly.

Boom!

The Void trembled slightly.

A white-haired old man, with an indifferent expression, stepped out from a crack in the Void…
