CHAPTER 959: CHAPTER 485: BLOOD MARK

Senior Duan remained unmoved and slowly said, "Who exactly is the Sect Hierarch of the Polluted Blood Sect?"

The Meng Family Ancestor urgently said, "I haven’t seen them, I really don’t know."

Senior Duan asked again, "Then what do you know?"

The Meng Family Ancestor’s mouth twitched slightly, and he said helplessly, "The one who introduced me to the Polluted Blood Sect was my friend, Xu Feizhou."

Senior Duan raised an eyebrow and said, "The Ancestor of the Xu Family on the Fierce Sea Star?"

The Meng Family Ancestor nodded and said, "Yes, that’s him."

Senior Duan said in surprise, "If I’m not mistaken, over a hundred years ago, Xu Feizhou recklessly entered a Pocket World for Treasure Hunting, but unfortunately encountered the ’Longevity Severing Wind,’ a Heavenly Disaster Level Calamity that caused his lifespan to rapidly decrease. There have long been rumors that he was dead. So, he’s still alive?"

The Meng Family Ancestor hurriedly replied, "Xu Feizhou was supposed to be dead, but the Polluted Blood Sect found him and used Polluted Blood to help him break free from the Longevity Severing Wind, saving his life.

So, Xu Feizhou is very grateful to the Polluted Blood Sect. Not only did he drink the Holy Blood, but he was also utterly devoted to the Polluted Blood Sect."

Senior Duan pondered without speaking.

The Meng Family Ancestor stamped his foot and said, "I’ve told you everything I know! Spare my clansmen, and I will personally go with you to the Immortal Palace to explain to the Palace Master."

Senior Duan clicked his tongue and said, "I know you’re anxious, but don’t rush.

The Calamity ’Evil Fire · Self-immolation · Backdoor Ablaze’ that I unleashed is indeed extremely powerful, but its activation conditions are very strict.

This Calamity requires the cooperation of a clansman who possesses your Meng Family Bloodline."

Upon hearing this, the Meng Family Ancestor felt his heart sink.

According to common sense, if the activation conditions of a Calamity are very strict, then the conditions for lifting it must also be extremely difficult.

Senior Duan continued, "In general, clansmen have deep feelings for their own family, and even if there are conflicts among clansmen, few would wish for their entire family to be annihilated, but there are always exceptions."

The Meng Family Ancestor gasped for breath, his expression nearly collapsing.

Senior Duan’s expression grew serious as he said, "To break my Calamity ’Evil Fire · Self-immolation · Backdoor Ablaze,’ there are two methods.

Firstly, use another terrifying Calamity ’Bloodline Severance’ or ’Turn Against Each Other’ for a counter-balance;

Secondly, use the Merit ’Heavenly Joy’ or ’Heavenly Communion’ to restrain it."

Upon hearing this, the Meng Family Ancestor could not help but look up, tears in his eyes as he laughed tragically.

Fierce Sea Star · Xu Family

In the dimly lit secret chamber, Xu Feizhou slowly raised his head.

His aged face appeared lifeless, and his eyes were somewhat clouded, giving the impression of a rotting log.

His eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the blurry figure cloaked in black sitting opposite him.

"The Polluted Blood Sect has been exposed..."

The black-cloaked figure spoke, his voice deep and his tone grave, "I just received news that several hours ago, your friend the Meng Family Ancestor was captured alive and escorted to the White Light Immortal Palace, where his clansmen suffered heavy casualties, with fewer than thirty seemingly surviving."

A massive Immortal Cultivation family usually has a minimum of ten thousand or as many as hundreds of thousands of members.

The Meng Family Ancestor was a notorious lecher, and his descendants followed suit, spreading out and branching all over, so the total number of clansmen was definitely no less than a hundred thousand.

Never did I expect...

Xu Feizhou was deeply moved, breathlessly saying, "The White Light Palace Master is truly ruthless and too cruel! The Meng Family Ancestor wasn’t even officially a member of our sect yet, and he still met such a fate!"

The black-cloaked figure snorted coldly, "Isn’t that just the kind of person the White Light Palace Master is? On the surface gentle like jade, but that’s just a front; beneath it all, he’s heartless and ruthless by nature."

Xu Feizhou was silent for a moment before pondering aloud, "The Meng Family Ancestor has been captured, it seems I am already exposed, right?"

The black-cloaked figure nodded and sighed, "Given the current situation, we have no retreat; we can only go to full-scale war with the White Light Immortal Palace."

Xu Feizhou could not help but lament, "What a pity, if we had another fifty years, we could have wiped out the White Light Immortal Palace in no time, with a sure chance of victory."

The black-cloaked figure hurriedly replied, "Even now, our chances of victory aren’t low; we have at least a fifty percent chance."

Xu Feizhou asked, "Do we have a battle plan?"

The black-cloaked figure seriously replied, "The Sect Hierarch’s suggestion is for you to make your own choice. You can either evacuate immediately, taking with you as many clansmen as possible, or you can stay here and hold the line."

After contemplating for a moment, Xu Feizhou’s expression turned somber, "At this critical juncture, leading so many clansmen in an evacuation holds no meaning; it’s better to stay and fight to the death!"

"Good!"

The black-cloaked figure eagerly said, "An all-out effort is the best strategy! You here will draw the main forces of the White Light Immortal Palace away; when their defenses are weak, the Sect Hierarch will personally lead the attack on the Immortal Palace."

Xu Feizhou nodded and said, "With this plan, our chances are definitely more than fifty percent!"

Not long after, the black-cloaked figure noiselessly departed.

Xu Feizhou walked out of the secret chamber, lightly tapping his toe, soaring into the outer space.

He gazed upon the Fierce Sea Star with a mad smile, ferociously saying, "Fierce Sea Star, accompany me in death, or let us rise to the pinnacle together."

Saying so, he flipped his hand, retrieving a bottle of Polluted Blood, and scattered it over the Fierce Sea Star.

...

...

Senior Duan escorted the Meng Family Ancestor back to the White Light Immortal Palace to report, facing the Palace Master and recounting everything truthfully.

"Oh, Xu Feizhou also joined the Polluted Blood Sect and has become one of its core members?"

The White Light Palace Master’s brows furrowed deeply, his expression turning grim as he said in a low voice, "Xu Feizhou is in the Mid Stage of the Upper Immortal, even stronger than the Meng Family Ancestor. I didn’t expect him too to defect; this Polluted Blood Sect is truly pervasive."

Senior Duan responded, "Palace Master, time is of the essence; we must act quickly before Xu Feizhou escapes."
