CHAPTER 1078: CHAPTER 12: BLOOD SACRIFICE AND SCHEMING (DOUBLE-LENGTH 8,400+)

The discussions regarding all the matters were "concluded," and the ensuing banquet naturally allowed both host and guests to enjoy themselves fully.

After all, besides the two kinds of immortal fruits, Pan Peach and Yellow Plum, the other items were no ordinary fare.

"This wine is truly remarkable; it must be the excellent brew of the Drunk Immortal Saint Emperor. I once had the fortune to taste it, and the quality this time seems even better."

"Most likely so. The Drunk Immortal Saint Emperor has long since followed the True Saint and is responsible for the drinks on this occasion. It’s not surprising, considering it’s a Thirteen Realms banquet, they would naturally bring out the good stuff; otherwise, it would not only be a loss of face."

"Not only that, but these pastries use extraordinary ingredients as well..."

The items present at a Thirteen Realms banquet are certainly not ordinary things.

They are all top-notch ingredients.

Among them were quite a few things that Wang Sheng grew using his Planting Skill.

Even if it’s just a cabbage, with the Breakthrough eight times Planting Skill, it can become immortal material.

The things Wang Sheng usually planted to relax his mind were quite appropriate for such an occasion.

With matters settled, eating naturally brought joy.

After all, the trip yielded considerable benefits.

However, just as the banquet was about to end, a Saint Emperor seemed to recall something and quietly said, "With all of us here, I wonder if there might be an issue over at the Devouring Sect?"

After the Conquest Sect won the last war, they directly pursued deeper into enemy territory, with Saint Emperors and a large number of Saints suppressing them over the years.

The Saint Emperor of the Devouring Sect, due to their great defeat, did not dare to emerge, so the Conquest Sect held an absolute advantage on enemy ground.

But this time, Wang Sheng broke through to the Thirteen Realms and delivered teachings.

Not only did he attract all the Saint Emperors back, but most of the Saints also returned.

If at this moment, Saint Emperors like Chong Xu appear, it might pose a significant problem.

The speaking Saint Emperor was originally on duty guarding the Devouring Sect’s domain. Previously, due to the teachings and the immortal fruits, he subconsciously forgot, but now that things were concluding, he inevitably began to worry.

His voice was very soft, but everyone present was at least a Saint, and it was impossible not to hear.

These words were not unfounded.

If the Devouring Sect noticed the situation, it could indeed lead to issues.

Of course, some disagreed: "Don’t worry, with all the Saint Emperors and Saints withdrawn, the Devouring Sect might be more worried, thinking perhaps it’s a trap, deliberately showing a flaw to capture them all at once."

With these words, several Saint Emperors nodded.

After searching for the Devouring Sect Saint Emperor for so long without any clues, they originally intended to do just that.

The Devouring Sect was already like a stray dog; being cautious is only normal.

"We still need to be careful. Once things end, we should quickly send someone over!"

"Perhaps, by countering their strategy, we can lure out the Saint Emperor of the Devouring Sect. After all, they’ve been missing for so long; there might be a terrible conspiracy..."

These words sparked a discussion among the Saint Emperors. After all, although the Devouring Sect suffered a great defeat, they weren’t completely eradicated, which indeed remained a concern for the Conquest Sect.

In the end, it was Wang Sheng who concluded the discussion.

"No need to worry; the Devouring Sect can’t stir up any waves." To Wang Sheng now, the Devouring Sect was insignificant; it’s just that he’s been too busy recently. Otherwise, he would have already taken time to study the Path of Karma, enhancing his understanding of it, and would have directly found Chong Xu and Black Yuan.

In fact, this banquet, allowing all Saint Emperors and Saints to attend, was not without the intention of fishing.

Chong Xu and Black Yuan possess secret treasures that hide karmic ties.

Being able to lure them out would naturally be a good thing.

He did not want Chong Xu and Black Yuan of the Devouring Sect to survive.

Especially the Parasitic Race of Chong Xu.

This race is too terrifying.

Not just resource plunderers, they can subtly replace everyone around once given the opportunity.

Therefore, they must be eradicated.

Now in the Thirteen Realms, as long as the people are found, there’s no pressure at all.

The many Saint Emperors suddenly realized that the situation was now different; on their side, they had an additional Supreme of the Thirteen Realms.

With a Supreme taking action, even the top Saint Emperor would be no more than an ant.

There’s no need to worry about the Devouring Sect surfacing; the concern should be that they are hiding too deeply and never appear.

’With a True Saint present, what is the Devouring Sect? The moment they surface, it will be their doom...’

’This way, the territory of the Devouring Sect is considerably safer with a True Saint overseeing it. As long as they’re not instantly killed, there’s no need for excessive fear.’

Although they hadn’t witnessed a True Saint’s speed in traveling, the means of their instant teleportation to the Daoist School indicated that the True Saint’s speed must be extremely terrifying.

For a while, the banquet relaxed again, changing the subject.

But unlike the light-heartedness at Wang Sheng’s banquet.

In the original territory of the Devouring Sect, now occupied by the Conquest Sect, within a hidden space.

This space was vast beyond measure, but now it was filled everywhere with Blood Qi, almost materializing.

A chilling aura flowed from all directions, as if there were endless grievances.

This was where the Saint Emperors of the Devouring Sect, Chong Xu, Black Yuan, and some Saints, hid.

Originally, although Conquest Sect eradicated many of the Saint Emperors, about seventy to eighty were left.

But now, within this space, only two top Saint Emperors remained.

Chong Xu and Black Yuan.

As for the other Saint Emperors—

Following the gaze of Chong Xu and Black Yuan, one could see an endless blood sea before them.

Within the blood sea, the blood churned as if it were boiling.
