32: Chapter 0032 Killing One's Own People

Outside the Blood Bat Cave.

Gu Huan and Hong Tao suppressed their cultivation auras, quietly lying in wait behind a large rock. The sounds of fighting from Lei Guangze and the others, as well as the sharp, explosive screeches of the Blood Bats, reached their ears.

Thrilling.

Piercing.

This was likely the true depiction of the interior of the Blood Bat Cave.

Perhaps feeling that silence was detrimental to cooperative combat, Hong Tao took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Six days have passed until now. Including the five days of travel, they've been inside for exactly one full day."

"The sounds of battle in the cave are getting louder; it should be ending soon."

Gu Huan replied, glancing at her in passing.

Hong Tao.

Dressed in a red dress, she had a beautiful appearance.

She was not only one of Hall Master Su Hongyun's people but also a spy planted by Li Yunlu's side.

At the same time, she had another identity: nominally a maidservant, but in reality, a Cauldron just like Gu Huan.

However, her spiritual energy fluctuations were very pure, showing a certain difference from people like Zhou Guanlian.

Furthermore, she had a cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi Refining; as a Cauldron, it was impossible to possess such a high cultivation.

This was very strange!

"Are you thinking about my situation?"

Gu Huan nodded and said, "What exactly is your relationship with Li Yunlu?"

"The same as your relationship with Qin Yao."

"Impossible!"

Hearing Gu Huan's categorical tone, Hong Tao turned back in surprise, her sandalwood mouth slightly open. Meeting his firm gaze, she shrank back and yielded.

"Alright!"

"I am only his maidservant, not his Cauldron."

Once she said that.

Gu Huan understood.

Maidservants and Cauldrons both did the same things, but the results were slightly different.

In one outcome, nothing would be lost; in the other, one's cultivation would be lost.

"Do you regret it?" Gu Huan asked instinctively.

"There's nothing to regret. A woman's chastity is the least valuable thing in the Hehuan Sect. You either choose to become a Cauldron and lose your virginity voluntarily, or you become a man's Cauldron and lose it involuntarily."

For the sake of Cultivating.

Both Qin Yao and Liu Zhu chose to do this, and they didn't even feel there was anything wrong with it.

It was precisely this unrestrained and decadent atmosphere that had created the once-powerful Hehuan Sect.

"I heard you were a Righteous Path Cultivator?"

"Before being abducted to the Hehuan Sect, I was a Disciple of the Qingling Sect."

"Never thought about going back?"

"I have the Heart-Erosion Gu inside me. Whether I go back or not, it's a dead end."

Gu Huan responded casually; the demonic Sect was where he belonged, as Righteous Path Sects were not conducive to long-term Cultivation.

Hong Tao didn't understand and took his words at face value.

After opening up, the two began to talk more.

About an hour passed.

Gu Huan's mind sharpened, and he immediately gestured for Hong Tao to be silent.

"Shh!"

He Cultivated the Blood Spirit Great Method just like the Blood Spirit Sect Disciples. Relying on his sensitivity to blood Qi, he was the first to perceive several vigorous blood Qis arriving.

Hong Tao's pretty face turned slightly pale. She only realized the enemies had set an ambush after Gu Huan's reminder, and she couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

"How many people?"

She wrote on the ground.

Gu Huan signaled six.

Hong Tao was once again extremely surprised. No wonder Gu Huan could kill six people like Zhou Guanlian all at once; such sharp Divine Sense perception was no less than that of a powerhouse at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining.

Meanwhile.

The activity inside the Blood Bat Cave completely ceased.

Lei Guangze, Chen Xin, Li Ting, and Sun Miaomiao also keenly noticed this. The moment the battle ended, they swallowed Medicinal Pills on the spot to restore their spiritual energy.

They waited for a moment.

The six Blood Spirit Sect Disciples realized something was wrong and decided not to ambush anymore. They launched a powerful attack, aggressively charging into the Blood Bat Cave, and the fierce battle broke out again.

"They've gone into the cave. We can just close the door and beat the dog," Hong Tao said with delight.

"No rush, wait a bit longer."

Hall Master Su Hongyun had given Gu Huan two tasks.

Kill all the Blood Spirit Sect Disciples as well as the four people currently in the cave, wearing them down as much as possible.

"Do you know why we have to kill them?"

Hong Tao suddenly asked.

Gu Huan shook his head.

He wasn't very interested in the internal struggles of the Hehuan Sect.

The reason he agreed to kill them was, firstly, to gain benefits from Hall Master Su Hongyun, and secondly, to clear obstacles for Liu Zhu. Weakening her opponents would help her compete for the foundation establishment pill.

"Because they are followers of the Jile Peak's Grand Elder. They advocate for 'Ultimate Pleasure,' acting willfully and lawlessly. The atmosphere of the Hehuan Sect was ruined by them."

Hong Tao gritted her teeth.

She extremely hated Jile Peak.

The Hehuan Sect mainly consisted of three major immortal peaks: Hehuan Peak, Jile Peak, and Wangqing Peak.

The residence for the Hehuan Peak Outer Sect Disciples where Gu Huan lived was just a small corner of Hehuan Peak. Only after a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough would one be qualified to enter the true Hehuan Peak to Cultivate.

Among them.

Wangqing Peak was a branch of Hehuan Peak.

It had only a few people, but its potential was enormous; they were guaranteed to be able to form a Golden Core.

Song Yuchan studied under the Grand Elder of Wangqing Peak. This pair of master and Disciple were the only Path of Forgetfulness Sword Cultivators in the current Hehuan Sect.

However.

With the powerful rise of Jile Peak.

Hehuan Peak and Wangqing Peak gradually declined, facing suppression and targeting everywhere.

"Stop talking, prepare to face the enemy."

Gu Huan reminded her, to prevent her from being too deeply affected by her emotions.

Hong Tao also realized that discussing these things now was inappropriate, so she quickly silenced herself and concentrated.

Just then.

Faint cursing could be heard from within the Blood Bat Cave.

"Damn it! You two still aren't supporting us? Are you waiting for us to die?"

"You bastards, if you don't come to our aid, we really won't be able to hold on."

Lei Guangze and Li Ting shouted and cursed.

Chen Xin and Sun Miaomiao fought back with all their might, having no chance even to speak.

"Should we strike?" Hong Tao grew anxious. If Lei Guangze's group of four died prematurely, the Blood Spirit Sect Disciples would also be difficult to deal with.

"Wait longer!"

Gu Huan said with composure.

Hong Tao knew her limits and nodded silently.

Without Gu Huan's help in this battle, she wouldn't be able to complete the task on her own.

As time passed.

Seeing that Gu Huan and Hong Tao had still not appeared.

The four people fighting with all their might suddenly felt despair, and an erroneous thought was born in their minds.

Could it be that they had been silenced by the enemy first?"

Such a thing was very likely!

Similarly.

The expressions of the six Blood Spirit Sect Disciples changed from suspicious to certain.

"We were almost tricked. They have no reinforcements at all. Kill them quickly."

"Everyone, stop holding back. Let's break through as soon as possible!"

The ten people had similar cultivation levels.

Four against six, they were already at a disadvantage. If they didn't break through soon, they would eventually be wiped out.

The four decided to fight for their lives. Flames soared and pink mist swirled as they quickly carved out a path to survival.

Sun Miaomiao was closest to the exit. With a face full of wild joy, she sprinted out. As long as she left the Blood Bat Cave, the world would be wide open for her.

However.

The moment she rushed out of the Blood Bat Cave.

A blood arrow shot out along the light. Sun Miaomiao only felt her vision go dark before the blood arrow pierced through her forehead. Blood instantly gushed out, followed by three more blood arrows piercing her chest, ending her life completely.

"Miaomiao!"

The sudden turn of events frightened Li Ting so much that she turned pale.

Lei Guangze and Chen Xin were also pale. The Blood Spirit Sect's Blood Arrow Technique—those were the enemy's reinforcements.

"Hahaha!"

"So it's our own people! You won't escape this time!"

"It's a pity that girl's tender skin is dead, but she can still be used while she's warm!"

"Defile the dead later. There's still a living one here. I've long heard that the Hehuan Enchantress's skills in serving men are top-notch, and this one looks even more lewd and exciting than the dead one."

The Blood Spirit Sect Disciples were even worse.

Their lewd words were constant, and the way they looked at Li Ting was filled with naked possessiveness.

Just then.

A rapidly spinning red blood diamond shot in from outside the Blood Bat Cave, piercing through the first enemy's head with unstoppable force.

Pfft!

The Blood Spirit Sect Disciple fell to the ground, leaving the remaining five horrified.

"Mystic Blood Diamond?"

"Senior Brother, what is the meaning of this? Why are you killing your own fellow Sect members?"

The leading Blood Spirit Sect Disciple was shocked and bewildered, his face filled with disbelief.

Only Blood Spirit Sect Disciples were worthy of possessing the Mystic Blood Diamond Magical Artifact. The person who attacked was undoubtedly one of their own.

But why?

Why was he killing his own people?
