242: Chapter 242 Brutality

The information was provided by the blood slaves under his command; how could he possibly be willing to hand it over?

On the pirate ship.

Yun Bing sat in a corner of the cabin, his eyes tightly closed, circulating the Yun Family Cultivation Technique to continuously regulate his breath, attempting to repair his battered body.

Although two days had passed, the injuries caused by the Gaunt Man's punishment had still not fully recovered.

"Damn it. To recover from these injuries, it will take at least half a month of effort." Feeling the changes in his body, Yun Bing slowly opened his eyes, a tyrannical aura flashing through them.

He, Yun Bing, had served his master wholeheartedly, yet had ended up in such a state.

Not only had he not received any rewards of flesh and blood, but he had instead been beaten into a serious injury.

Since the master is heartless, do not blame me for being unrighteous.

The master and that big oaf probably do not yet understand the true strength of this Grandmaster Qingyun.

As long as the master and the big oaf engage in battle with him, I will take this opportunity to escape.

By then, why should I, Yun Bing, worry about not having the chance to become a supreme ancestor?

Thinking of this, Yun Bing had a plan in mind.

But the next moment, a voice broke his train of thought. This caused a momentary flash of rage in his emotions, but upon seeing who it was, he felt as if he had been doused with cold water, chilling him from head to toe.

He hurriedly lowered his head and bowed in salute, fearing that the Gaunt Man would discover his abnormality. "Your subordinate, Yun Bing, greets the master."

"Follow me to the island to find someone." The Gaunt Man's expression was indifferent; he did not even glance at the Yun Bing at his feet, his tone brooking no doubt.

"Yes." Yun Bing replied respectfully.

...

Meanwhile.

In the dense forest, the members of the Yun Family held their breath, staring fixedly at the pirate ship at the mooring.

Suddenly.

A figure walked down from the pirate ship, followed immediately by a second, a third, a fourth...

In just over a dozen breaths, dozens of people had walked down, accompanied by a thick scent of blood.

Even from a mile away, Pei Qingyun could smell this disgusting odor.

It was emitted from the mixed essence blood remaining in their bodies after devouring flesh and blood, before it had been fully refined.

It was different from the smell of blood; rather, it gave one a sense of rejection from the Bloodline.

From this scent, Pei Qingyun always had a feeling of familiarity.

The next moment, he captured this memory information from his recollections.

Once, he had smelled it on Ling Ziwen.

"This aura, it is a Blood Demon Sect Cultivator." Pei Qingyun's expression changed.

A few years ago, the reason the Demon disaster in Wuyang City had such a massive impact was inseparable from the meddling of Ling Ziwen, that Blood Demon Sect Cultivator.

Although Ling Ziwen eventually died at his hands, he still had a deep impression of him.

An entire town reduced to a dead land; the cruelty of the Blood Demon Sect Cultivator could be seen from that.

He did not expect that he would run into a Blood Demon Sect Cultivator just by coming to Longnan Prefecture for business.

This luck is truly something else.

"The Yun Family has been targeted by Blood Demon Sect Cultivators." Pei Qingyun's gaze looked deeply at Patriarch Yun Donglai beside him.

At this moment, Patriarch Yun Donglai's expression was also very ugly, but the reason for his ugly expression was not that he recognized the Blood Demon Sect members, but rather his Yun Family Fourth Elder, Yun Bing.

Yun Bing stood at the very front of the group, exceptionally conspicuous.

This Fourth Elder had not only defected and jumped into the sea but had also brought people to this Tianyuan Island, clearly intending to put them to death.

This generated tremendous anger in his heart.

If he hadn't seen him before, he might have still harbored a sliver of hope. But now, let alone hope, he wished he could rush over and kill him.

However, before killing him, he wanted more to question the reason. It was true that Yun Bing's strength and talent were excellent, but if not for his approval of the application, how could a collateral branch member like Yun Bing have become a Yun Family Elder?

"Patriarch Yun, do not be agitated. These are all Blood Demon Sect Cultivators, and there are two Grandmasters among them." Seeming to notice something off about Patriarch Yun Donglai, Pei Qingyun comforted him.

"Blood Demon Sect Cultivators, two Grandmasters." Upon hearing this, Patriarch Yun Donglai was shocked.

If he had previously only been angry at Yun Bing's actions, he was now completely filled with panic and shock.

The Blood Demon Sect, this evil sect from outside, was very famous within the Great Jing Dynasty. Almost all Great Families had heard the name Blood Demon Sect, but not many had truly witnessed the methods of the Blood Demon Sect.

Especially those Great Families located in the north of the Great Jing, they were very far from the areas bordering the Blood Demon Sect and were usually not within the range of the Blood Demon Sect's activities.

And the Longnan Prefecture territory located in the Beilong Continent happened to be in this area.

Yet here, there actually appeared Blood Demon Sect Cultivators, and there were even two Grandmasters.

The prestige of the Blood Demon Sect was too resounding; even having witnessed Pei Qingyun's strength, Patriarch Yun Donglai could not suppress a sliver of panic rising in his heart.

Two Grandmasters, can they really hold them off!

Patriarch Yun Donglai took a deep breath, staring at Pei Qingyun. Although he was already convinced in his heart, he still asked one more time.

"Grandmaster Qingyun, are they truly Blood Demon Sect Cultivators?"

"That is natural; I once killed a Blood Demon Sect Cultivator. The aura on their bodies is no different from that Blood Demon Sect Cultivator." Pei Qingyun explained.

Having received Pei Qingyun's confirmation again, Patriarch Yun Donglai also accepted this fact.

It must be said that Patriarch Yun Donglai's adaptability was extremely astonishing.

In just a few breaths, he had thought of a countermeasure. "They disembarked this time, most likely to search for our whereabouts. This Junior has a method that might be able to avoid their search and allow us to circle back onto the ship; do you think it is feasible?"

While speaking, Patriarch Yun Donglai pointed in the direction of the dense forest, explaining his tactical plan.

Relying on his familiarity with the island, Pei Qingyun thought that this tactic still had a sliver of feasibility.

But that was all; the variables involved were too many.

If he were only a novice at the Grandmaster Realm, he might risk trying it.

Now, he stood at the Peak of the Grandmaster Realm.

This tactic might instead become a hindrance for him.

Pei Qingyun shook his head. "Patriarch Yun's tactic is indeed not bad, but it is still too troublesome. I have two other feasible plans; Patriarch Yun can listen to them. If the two Grandmasters split into two paths, we will avoid one path and then ambush and kill the other. If they leave one person behind, we will just seize the ship and kill them."

"If they do not split up, we will execute your tactic. You send people to lure them away, and we will circle back to get on the ship."

"This Junior has no objections; we will proceed according to what Grandmaster Qingyun said. They are about to come over; this Junior will go arrange the personnel now." Patriarch Yun Donglai did not argue; he immediately summoned everyone, briefly explained his tactic, and began arranging the tasks.

As for the identity of the Blood Demon Sect Cultivators, he did not disclose it. If he caused panic among the people, it would easily ruin the plan.

It could be said that whether they could survive this time depended entirely on Pei Qingyun.

"Good." Pei Qingyun nodded and looked again toward the direction of the mooring.

The burly figure and the Gaunt Man seemed to have finished discussing, and were attacking in the direction where they were located.
