Chapter 1612: Chapter 370

The Bloodless Demon had been quite troubled lately, realizing that his luck had been exceptionally poor these days.

He had already planned how to secretly deal with Cao Zhen, but then, a Fourth Dangerous Terrain appeared. It was tolerable enough that the Fourth Dangerous Terrain emerged; once Cao Zhen left the terrain, the news he spread would inevitably lure Cao Zhen with the temptations of the Instant Millennium Pearl. The plan could still proceed, albeit later than anticipated.

The outcome, however, was unforeseen. Cao Zhen obtained an Instant Millennium Pearl from within the Fourth Dangerous Terrain and even annexed a great teaching.

Now, throughout the Eastern Province, the only great teaching that Cao Zhen could annex would be the Void Breaking Sect. Yet, the Void Breaking Sect remains intact. No one knows where Cao Zhen found another great teaching to annex.

Of course, these matters were no longer significant. What truly mattered was ensuring the Hundred Peaks Sect’s failure in crossing the Sect Tribulation!

The Hundred Peaks Sect and their Weeping Blood Demon Sect were already arch-enemies. If the Hundred Peaks Sect succeeded in becoming the Hundred Peaks Sect again, the Weeping Blood Demon Sect would gain an additional great teaching as a mortal foe. Once the experts within the sect awaken, how would they see him?

However, if they used this opportunity to extinguish the Hundred Peaks Sect now, there would be no repercussions.

To ensure the Hundred Peaks Sect’s failure in crossing the tribulation, the best and most direct method was to leverage the current relic.

In the Conference Hall of the Weeping Blood Demon Sect, all the senior members gathered as the Bloodless Demon composed himself and addressed the assembly: “Everyone must be aware that the newly emerged relic is a lifeline left by the Heavenly Dao to the Hundred Peaks Sect. You all know the relationship between us, the Weeping Blood Demon Sect, and the Hundred Peaks Sect.

We, the Weeping Blood Demon Sect, must not allow the Hundred Peaks Sect to become a great teaching. For this relic, I’ve contacted the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect. Once the relic opens, the experts of our Weeping Blood Demon Sect and the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect will enter with only one mission — to exterminate the people of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

Regarding the treasures inside the relic, if they can be taken easily, do so; if not, focus on slaughtering the Hundred Peaks Sect members! Although the Hundred Peaks Sect has strong practitioners like Cao Zhen, they remain a mere sect. Their Earth Immortal Realm numbers cannot compare with those of a genuine great teaching, and their cultivation bases are far below the average level of a great teaching’s disciples.

By killing enough disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, when the sect’s tribulation arrives, they won’t have sufficient members. No matter how strong Cao Zhen is, he won’t be able to help the Hundred Peaks Sect withstand the Heavenly Tribulation!

Moreover, by slaughtering their disciples within the relic, the odds of the Hundred Peaks Sect obtaining treasures will greatly diminish.”

The Bloodless Demon was not soliciting opinions but issuing his command.

His gaze swept over everyone until it settled on a middle-aged man with unremarkable features and slightly dark skin. He spoke, “This time, heading to the Hundred Peaks Sect will be assigned to Junior Disciple Blood Calling.”

The last time they launched an assault on the Hundred Peaks Sect, it was led by the Love-Blood Devil. Though the subsequent failure could not entirely be blamed on the Love-Blood Devil, failure was failure. It obviously wouldn’t be appropriate for the Love-Blood Devil to lead this time.

Furthermore, for this sortie, they intended to deploy more elite experts, which the Love-Blood Devil could not command.

The Blood Calling Demon was currently the second-most powerful expert within the Weeping Blood Demon Sect, beneath only him.

Similarly, the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect would send out their second-strongest expert.

“As expected, the Weeping Blood Demon Sect and the Void Breaking Demonic Sect would not pass up this opportunity with the opening of the relic.”

Watching through the China Cloud the meeting of the Weeping Blood Demon Sect, Cao Zhen’s eyes flashed with a deep, cold killing intent. Killing the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect? Let’s see who kills whom when the time comes!

Time passed day by day.

Outside the Hundred Peaks Relics, the crowd grew increasingly large. Earth Immortals from the Eastern Province and the Eastern Wasteland gathered around the relic.

In the blink of an eye, nearly three months had slipped by since the relic’s appearance.

“It’s about time for the relic to open; it’s also time to set off.”

Cao Zhen finished arranging the formation before him, looked toward the direction of the Four Treasures Peak, and called out with his immortal power, “Disciples of the Four Treasures Peak, come with me to the relic.”

His voice echoed like rolling thunder throughout the Hundred Peaks Sect.

As the voice faded, within the Hundred Peaks Sect, eleven figures took to the sky, swiftly landing before Cao Zhen. Besides the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, there was also Qiao Jingyao.

Before anyone could move, a shadow sped swiftly from afar, voice arriving ahead of the person.

“I’ll go too.” Immortal Bi Yue landed directly before Cao Zhen; she had nearly completed her cultivation in the Hundred Peaks Sect. Considerable time had passed since Cao Zhen used pills to help her achieve the Longevity Period’s peak. Her cultivation base was nearly fixed, with little chance of rapid improvement in the short term. Since cultivation couldn’t advance much further, it was better to head to the relic.

Currently, the Hundred Peaks Sect was large enough, with numerous unclaimed peaks. Among those who came to aid the Hundred Peaks Sect in crossing the Sect Tribulation were people from the Dragon Chant Sect and Yin Yang Sect, each finding a mountain peak for cultivation.

From a distance, on the Yin Yang Sect’s mountain peak, Immortal Jiu Yang listened to Immortal Bi Yue’s voice, a look of sudden realization appearing on her face. No wonder Immortal Bi Yue was with Cao Zhen. Look at her actions; she had the perfect chance to cultivate within the Hundred Peaks Sect, yet she passed up on this rare opportunity, choosing instead to aid Cao Zhen even if it meant halting her cultivation.
