Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 904: Chapter 370: Visit from the Heavenly Star, Blood Demon Legend_2

“Do you know which one among the Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountains remains unclaimed by either side?”

Luo Chen hesitated before replying, “The Ninth Mountain?”

Tian Xingzi nodded gravely, “Indeed…”

…

Tian Xingzi left.

He arrived in high spirits, and though not departing completely satisfied, he could still claim to have had an extremely enjoyable conversation.

...

Moreover, he exchanged three Top Grade Blood Igniting Pills from Luo Chen for a piece of information that wasn’t particularly important to him.

Most importantly, he had continued the friendly relationship with the other party.

Clearly, addressing him as “young friend” those years ago had not been in vain!

However, what he considered unimportant information was, for Luo Chen, timely aid amid desperation.

“President, is there news of Lord Wang?”

In the room, Xu Huanzhen, Duan Feng, and Li Yingzhang, who could move freely, looked expectantly at Luo Chen.

Under their gaze, Luo Chen slowly nodded.

“Indeed, there is.”

The three of them were overjoyed.

Over the years, Wang Yuan’s prowess had been demonstrated time and again.

To call him the strongest in the Luo Tian Creed, apart from the President himself, was no exaggeration.

Back then, the night battle at the Seventh Mountain started with Min Longyu using a Big Formation to kill five Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, followed by Wang Yuan covering the rear, single-handedly holding off three Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators and one Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

Such capability was truly astonishing.

If they could find Wang Yuan and unite with the President, even if they faced groups led by Great Cultivators in the upcoming war, Luo Tian Creed would still possess sufficient self-defense strength.

Only, with such good news at hand, why did the President still look so serious?

Could it be…

Just as they began to fear the worst, Luo Chen shook his head.

“He has not fallen.”

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Luo Chen continued, “But the news of his current situation, if leaked, I’m afraid it would be detrimental to our Luo Tian Creed’s position.”

“Eh?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Could it be, he’s entangled in some major trouble?”

Facing these three questions, Luo Chen sighed.

Major trouble, what kind of major trouble could there be?

Even if one were to kill the descendants of Golden Core Cultivators or the True Disciples of the Sword Sect on the battlefield, it would be just a matter of the battlefield.

In war, life and death are fated.

He struggled to say, “Are you aware of the Blood Demon Legend that is currently circulating?”

Blood Demon!

Upon hearing these two words, the three turned pale all at once.

Li Yingzhang even spoke hurriedly, “Are you referring to the Blood Demon who leaves no Cultivator below the Golden Core alive in his wake, draining them of their Essence Blood?”

Xu Huanzhen frowned, “Lord Wang does not seem like one who delights in wanton slaughter!”

Duan Feng’s expression darkened, as he vaguely remembered some rumors circulating during the Dahefang period.

Although purely speculative, the accusations had always pointed towards Wang Yuan.

But because of the fast-changing situations in the Great River District during that time, and with too many other events happening within just two or three years, no one paid much attention to Wang Yuan.

Now, the Blood Demon…

Watching the shift in their expressions, Luo Chen felt slightly relieved.

Whether true or not, at least they were all united in spirit, not like the Luo Yun Sect and Sword Sect, which had issued a kill-on-sight order for everyone.

In the Yu Ding Realm, there was no place for Demonic Cultivators!

This was no longer a matter of sectarian disputes or conflicts of interest.

It was a deeper division between Righteous and Demonic.

No matter how petty and deceitful people might ordinarily be, they still acted in the manner of the righteous.

Even a slight transgression would label one a Calamity Cultivator or evil practitioner.

But if someone practiced Demonic Techniques and committed evil deeds, they were utterly unwelcome.

Just like the Loose Cultivator Gu Yue, who practiced Soul Refining; although he was only at Early Stage Foundation Establishment, he was treated like a pariah, denounced by everyone.

“The Blood Demon Legend indeed relates to Wang Yuan. It is spread within the Ninth Mountain and Ten Thousand Li of Yellow Sands territories, so naturally, Wang Yuan’s whereabouts are within these locations,” Luo Chen stated.

“This matter should be known only among the four of us and not disclosed to anyone else.”

The three, initially shocked, quickly nodded in succession.

The distinction between Righteous and Demonic was not stronger than the bonds of kinship.

Wang Yuan was one of their own, and since he had never committed any acts that endangered the group, even if he truly became a Demon Head reviled by everyone in the Yu Ding Realm, they would still choose to protect him as much as they could.

“If you’re fortunate to encounter him, try to persuade him to return, or immediately notify me,” Luo Chen said.

He took out three Sound Transmission Jade Pendants from his storage bag.

These Magic Tools could be used for rapid communication within a thousand li.

“Alright, you may go now,” Luo Chen said.

The three had more to say, but seeing Luo Chen’s furrowed brows, they did not wish to bother him further.

After they left,

Luo Chen could not help but let out a long sigh.

“Brother Wang…”

He never expected that Wang Yuan would ultimately embark on this very path.

It was almost identical to the future he first simulated using the Ghost God Heart Inquiry Mirror.

Blood Demon!

Luo Chen had always been aware that Wang Yuan possessed a Secret Technique, which allowed him to quickly recover from injuries and even enhance his Cultivation Level by absorbing a Cultivator’s Essence Blood!

When the Great River Gang launched a full-scale attack on the Broken Mountain Gang, they sent three Ninth Level Qi Refinement Experts to besiege Wang Yuan.

That battle turned Qingjiang Street into ruins.

Wang Yuan killed one opponent, wounded another, and engaged in a mutual kill with Xu Renke of the Broken Blade, falling into the Lancang Lake.

Later, Wang Yuan returned safely, and his realm had greatly improved!

At that time, Wang Yuan’s intense bloody scent stemmed from the fact that he had absorbed all the Blood Essence of Xu Renke’s flesh and bones.

Latterly, to gather materials for the Blood Evil Pill, he had wantonly killed within the Jindan Ruins, collecting many Cultivators’ Essence Blood.

Only then did Luo Chen willingly proceed to refine the Blood Evil Pill.
