54: Chapter 54 You're so stupid! If you don't have resources, you can just steal them!

"Young Master, over a thousand people have joined the Heavenly Court in these past three months."

"However... my small palace can't accommodate so many people," Huang Tianyu said awkwardly.

"Furthermore, the sect needs spirit stones to operate. As more and more people join, my pockets are almost empty of spirit stones."

Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled wickedly. "Stupid... Xiao Huang, it doesn't matter if you don't have spirit stones or territory. We can just rob others!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Tianyu's eyes sparkled. "Right! Why didn't I think of that? This is the Demonic Mist Forest Sea."

"This is the territory of demonic cultivators; we can just rob them! How could I have forgotten that?"

"Young Master, I'll go and rob all the sects on the outskirts of the Demonic Mist Forest Sea right now!!!"

"Mhm, good awareness. Go ahead and rob them. Kill anyone who stands in your way."

Chu Chen then tossed a jade slip to Huang Tianyu.

"If you encounter something you can't handle, crush this jade slip and I will come."

Huang Tianyu looked at the jade slip in his hand and thought that with the Young Master's guarantee, there was nowhere in the Demonic Mist Forest Sea he couldn't go.

He had quite a few old rivals in this forest sea, and it was the perfect time to make an example of them. With the Young Master backing him, he feared no one.

Huang Tianyu immediately responded respectfully, "Rest assured, Young Master. Xiao Huang will not fail your expectations and will rob the entire outskirts of the Demonic Mist Forest Sea."

After Xiao Huang left, Chu Chen also prepared to see what this so-called Saint Inheritance actually was.

...

"Sect Master, where are we going?"

For a moment, the thousand-plus disciples who had just joined the Heavenly Court curiously asked Huang Tianyu.

"Everyone, our Heavenly Court has just been established, so we naturally need a large amount of resources to fill our coffers. Therefore, I have decided to lead all disciples to plunder the resources of other sects."

"Ah? Sect Master, you're not joking, are you? How many of us are there? Other sects have tens of thousands of disciples."

"We're not robbing others' resources; aren't we just going to our deaths?" a disciple immediately protested.

To his surprise, Huang Tianyu snorted coldly. "Since you chose to join the Heavenly Court, you naturally must work for it. Otherwise, why would I recruit you?"

"Furthermore, you are following this Sect Master to conquer the world. Once things stabilize, you will be the ones who have rendered meritorious service to the Heavenly Court."

"Not only can you enjoy a vast amount of resources, but you can also become elite disciples of my Heavenly Court. Think about how prestigious that will be."

"Of course, you can also withdraw from the Heavenly Court now. However, I believe you have heard of this Sect Master's other identity: the Puppet Demon Lord."

"This Sect Master doesn't mind refining anyone who leaves the Heavenly Court into a puppet."

"Whether you want to follow this Sect Master to expand the sect and become elite disciples, or be refined into puppets, I believe you already have the answer in your hearts."

"Damn it, I'll risk it! I've already joined the Heavenly Court anyway. Besides, the Sect Master is a powerhouse who can rival a Divine Fire expert; we might not necessarily be in danger."

"By then, I'll be an elite disciple of the Heavenly Court!! Enjoying its vast resources," a cultivator spoke up.

As one cultivator spoke out, more and more began to echo the sentiment.

"Exactly! Fortune favors the bold. We must follow the Sect Master to make the sect big and strong."

Huang Tianyu looked at the crowd he had brainwashed and immediately spoke again: "Since you all have such determination, this Sect Master will reveal a top-secret piece of news to you."

"In truth, I am merely managing the Heavenly Court on someone else's behalf. The true creator of the Heavenly Court is someone else, and this person's identity can be described as terrifyingly profound."

"Compared to the four major powers of the inner region, he is even more formidable. Disciples, you have made an extremely wise decision. Under that person's leadership, it is not impossible for our Heavenly Court to surpass the four major powers of the inner region in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar.

"I was wondering why the Sect Master would lead us to attack other sects so early in the Heavenly Court's founding. It turns out the Master of the Heavenly Court is someone else."

"But according to the Sect Master, if that true Master of the Heavenly Court has such a terrifying background, won't we, the first batch to join, be able to enjoy the benefits?"

At this thought, everyone spoke up one after another: "Sect Master, I am willing to be a pioneer of the Heavenly Court and follow you to conquer other sects."

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

For a time, all the disciples shouted, their fighting spirit cold and stern.

"Good! Our first target is the Soul Devouring Sect."

...

By now, Chu Chen was heading deep into the Demonic Mist Forest Sea. There were only ten days left before the Blood Induction Curse would dissipate.

The effect of the Blood Induction Curse was also gradually weakening, dropping from a hundred-mile range to only being detectable within a ten-mile radius.

However, due to the appearance of the Saint Inheritance, cultivators swarmed toward the depths of the Demonic Mist Forest Sea like ants.

Quite a few cultivators encountered Chu Chen, and unable to suppress the greed in their hearts, they attacked him. However, they all became lost souls within the ten thousand soul banner.

He had now moved from the outskirts of the Demonic Mist Forest Sea to the inner region, and the number of cultivators he encountered grew.

Countless greedy eyes scanned Chu Chen, but these people weren't stupid; they didn't immediately move against him.

To reach the inner region of the Demonic Mist Forest Sea unscathed meant he was definitely a tough nut to crack. Many coveted the Blood Induction Curse, but no one wanted to be the first bird to get shot.

Chu Chen ignored these greedy gazes. If these people dared to move against him, he wouldn't mind adding more raw souls to the ten thousand soul banner.

However, he still underestimated human greed. Seven people stepped out from the crowd.

The leader was a young man full of vigor. "Hey kid, you have the Blood Induction Curse on you and yet you dare to come to the inner region of the Demonic Mist Forest Sea."

"Are you looking for death? Since you are, we, the Seven Ghosts of the Tang Family, will fulfill your wish."

"The Seven Ghosts of the Tang Family?"

Hearing this, someone in the crowd said in surprise, "It's actually the Seven Ghosts of the Tang Family. I didn't expect it to be them."

"What a pity. This Blood Induction Curse won't fall into our hands now."

"The Seven Ghosts of the Tang Family are renowned Great Demonic Cultivators in the Demonic Mist Forest Sea. They spend their years killing other cultivators and plundering the rare treasures on them."

"They don't even let the corpses go, extracting the essence blood from those they kill to refine into Blood Pill Pellets to increase their own cultivation."

"Moreover, every one of the Seven Ghosts of the Tang Family is a cultivator at the Ninth Level of Dragon Transformation Realm. Rumor has it that the seven of them working together even managed to kill a Divine Fire First Level expert, making a name for themselves in the Demonic Mist Forest Sea!!"

"That vigorous young man leading them is the eldest of the seven, Tang Shan."

Tang Shan listened to the bystanders recounting their fearsome reputation and looked at Chu Chen with a smug expression.

"Kid, if you come over obediently, I can still leave you an intact corpse."

"If you resist stubbornly, after you die, I will skin you and pull out your tendons, using your essence blood to refine Blood Pill Pellets."

Chu Chen's eyes were indifferent, as if Tang Shan wasn't even speaking to him.

Seeing this, Tang Shan gave a sinister smile. "Kid, you only have your own arrogance to blame for running around with the Blood Induction Curse. You're also unlucky to have run into us, the Seven Ghosts of the Tang Family."

"Hehe, the Demonic Mist Forest Sea is indeed a filthy place. I'm protecting this man today; none of you can touch him."

Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out as an exquisite woman dressed in a white immortal dress arrived, treading upon a flying sword.
