499: Clash of evil cults

The veiled figure slowly walked into the main hall, her shoes making crisp sounds on the obsidian floor, echoing in the empty hall.

"Cult Master, long time no see!"

Right Guardian Hong Ji looked at Night Luo charmingly.

"Right Guardian Hong Ji? What are you doing here?"

Night Luo looked at the graceful Right Guardian Hong Ji in front of her, and a hint of displeasure instantly rose in her heart.

Within the Evil God Sect, besides her, the Cult Master, the most powerful positions were the Four Great Protectors.

These Four Great Protectors were all Great Emperor Cultivators, serving as the Front, Rear, Left, and Right Protectors respectively.

Among them, Right Guardian Hong Ji was the Left Protector, and also one of the women in the Evil God Sect who was at odds with her.

This woman in front of her, like herself, had fallen madly in love with Evil Soul Heaven after seeing him once.

However, when Evil Soul Heaven chose her as his vessel, Right Guardian Hong Ji clearly showed a look of dissatisfaction.

Nevertheless, out of consideration for appearances, Right Guardian Hong Ji did not say much.

But recently, Right Guardian Hong Ji's dissatisfaction with Night Luo had deepened considerably.

Among them, Right Guardian Hong Ji was most displeased that Night Luo had clearly gathered the items for the sacrifice, but had been hesitant to proceed with the sacrificial ritual.

"Cult Master, how have you been? How far have you Cultivated your Evil Spirit Soul Seizing Scripture?"

Right Guardian Hong Ji asked.

"Left Protector, it seems my Cultivation Technique's progress has nothing to do with you!"

Night Luo sneered.

This was not the first time Right Guardian Hong Ji had asked her this; previously, she had always delayed by using the excuse that she had not completed Cultivating the Evil Spirit Soul Seizing Scripture.

It was precisely because of this that Right Guardian Hong Ji's dissatisfaction was aroused.

Now, Right Guardian Hong Ji's patience seemed to be reaching its limit. If it weren't for the fact that the sacrifice would cause too much of a stir and require Right Guardian Hong Ji's power, Night Luo would truly want to kill her right now.

"How is it not related?"

Right Guardian Hong Ji took a step forward and sneered.

"It is well known that for the Evil God to achieve Rebirth, someone must Cultivate the Evil Spirit Soul Seizing Scripture to Perfection!"

"Only by Cultivating the Evil Spirit Soul Seizing Scripture to Perfection can one serve as the Evil God's vessel for him to parasitize!"

"And you, after Cultivating for so many years, still haven't reached Perfection! Cult Master, I greatly suspect your intentions!"

Right Guardian Hong Ji said.

"Heh heh, are you saying, Left Protector, that you doubt my loyalty to the Evil God?"

Night Luo looked coldly at Right Guardian Hong Ji in front of her, and an invisible pressure followed.

Right Guardian Hong Ji felt the pressure from Night Luo and tried to resist, but to no avail, a Cult Master was still a Cult Master. Although both were Great Emperors, there was a significant gap in their strength.

"You... how could you..."

Right Guardian Hong Ji knelt on the ground, gasping for air. This probing attempt, she had lost. She had underestimated Night Luo's strength.

She had originally thought that with her strength, she could at least make Night Luo suffer a bit, but she hadn't expected that she couldn't even withstand Night Luo's pressure!

"Left Protector, you don't need to worry about my affairs, nor do you need to doubt my loyalty!"

"Before doubting my loyalty, use your brain and think carefully: Who was the founder of the Evil God Sect? Who wrote your doctrines and teachings?"

"Who led you to this point?"

The more Night Luo spoke, the angrier she became, and the terrifying pressure almost directly burst Right Guardian Hong Ji.

"Ah ah ah ah!"

Right Guardian Hong Ji couldn't take it anymore, and the power of a Great Emperor erupted, breaking free from Night Luo's pressure.

"Cult Master!"

The guards outside heard the commotion inside and immediately pushed the door open, their bone blades pointing directly at Right Guardian Hong Ji.

"Left Protector! How dare you disrespect the Cult Master?"

Right Guardian Hong Ji clutched her chest, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. She remained silent. She didn't want to explain to these cultists, nor was she bothered to explain. This was her last act of stubbornness.

"All of you, get out! This is a sparring match between me and the Left Protector, there's no need to make a fuss!"

"Instead, by suddenly barging in and seeing the Left Protector's predicament, aren't you afraid she'll kill you afterwards?"

Night Luo gave an enchanting smile.

This time, it was a small lesson she was giving Right Guardian Hong Ji. If Right Guardian Hong Ji dared to act like this again in the future, then she wouldn't be polite.

"This... I'm sorry, Left Protector, Cult Master! We were presumptuous!"

"We will absolutely not speak of today's events!"

The guards knelt down in a hurry, sweating profusely. Left Protector Right Guardian Hong Ji was a notoriously murderous Devil Head within the Evil God Sect.

This woman had annihilated a country not long ago, and who knew how much blood was on her hands.

"All of you, get out!"

After Night Luo finished speaking, she immediately expelled the few guards from earlier.

Hearing this, the guards present quickly ran out.

"Left Protector, have you calmed down now?"

Night Luo looked at Right Guardian Hong Ji in front of her. If Right Guardian Hong Ji dared to say no, then she would let Right Guardian Hong Ji witness the most terrifying version of herself in this world.

"Why is the Cult Master so angry? I'm just anxious to see the Evil God! Is that not allowed?"

Right Guardian Hong Ji took a deep breath, wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, her eyes still filled with unwillingness.

No matter how much dissatisfaction she had, at this moment she could only hold it in, because she couldn't win the fight!

Night Luo leaned back into her throne, her fingertips tapping the armrest, the coldness of the obsidian seeping through her fingertips.

"Anxious? So anxious that you forgot the cult rules?"

Night Luo looked up at Right Guardian Hong Ji, her eyes cold.

"You should know that the Evil Spirit Soul Seizing Scripture requires the power of the Yin Hour Blood Pool to catalyze it at the final moment. Forcibly attempting a Breakthrough will only lead to Qi Deviation!"

"At that time, let alone welcoming the Evil God, I'm afraid both you and I will become sacrifices?"

Night Luo smiled.

"Heh heh, if that's the case, then Right Guardian Hong Ji was presumptuous. I have other matters, so I won't disturb the Cult Master's Cultivation!"

Right Guardian Hong Ji swallowed her grievance and left after saying this.

"Heh heh..."

Night Luo watched Right Guardian Hong Ji's retreating figure, the tapping of her fingertips stopped, and a hint of complexity flashed in her dark purple eyes.

She knew that this grudge had been formed today. Right Guardian Hong Ji's stubbornness would likely not let this matter rest easily.

But it didn't matter, she wasn't afraid.

In fact, her Evil Spirit Soul Seizing Scripture had already been Cultivated to Perfection, but she wasn't in a hurry to perform the blood sacrifice.

The reason for this was that she felt what she was doing didn't seem very good.

After so many years of experience, she had met many people and seen many things. She felt that this world didn't seem as dark as she had imagined.

"This power... if I can use this power to help more people, will it make this world a better place?"

"Would things like what happened to me when I was little not happen then?"

Night Luo fell into contemplation; this was also why she had postponed the blood sacrifice.

She wanted to give herself some time to think about this question.
