Chapter 444: Ambition of Swallowing Heaven (2)
"It seems like it has finally come to an end."
Pa, pa, pa.
From the sky, came the sound of clear applause.
"This is quite a good show," a voice commented.
The leader of the Blood Lotus Sect lowered his eyelids, watching everything happening below in the clouds.
At first, the Blood Lotus Sect Leader planned to hide in the shadows and watch from a distance, waiting for the battle to end before dealing with the two.
But later on, he began to doubt his decision.
Both the Qiao family member and Martial Saint were indeed beyond his expectations.
If he really stayed on the sidelines until the end of the battle… unless it ended in a stalemate, the victor might also harm or even kill him.
Waiting until the dust settled after the big battle to run, would be too late.
However, another problem arose.
The mortal martial artists mentioned by Long Life Gate Immortal Changqing were known for their sharp combat intuition.
While they may not sense premeditated schemes, they can easily detect covert eavesdropping or spying attempts by spiritually perceptive martial artists.
Also, something was very suspicious: as the Blood Lotus Sect Leader, he had not shown up during the disastrous event involving the Blood Lotus Sect.
The Blood Lotus Sect Leader, hiding in the shadows, pondered for a while before making his decision:
The fact that he was hiding in the shadows might have already been discovered by one or both sides.
In this situation, if he seizes the opportunity to appear… whether to attack the two or to escape.
What awaits him will be a fierce strike.
His expectations turned out to be correct.
"Creating a Soul Changing Stage dharma body is not easy in this day and age, even for the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates. The cost is significant."
"However, compared to facing death, the cost is worth it. By manipulating the dharma body, deceiving Martial Saint and the Qiao family member, I made the ‘Blood Lotus Sect Leader’ die at the hands of Martial Saint."
"The hidden Blood Lotus Sect Leader, who they discovered and killed, allowed them to relax… while I used the death of the dharma body to deceive them and spent a ‘Concealing God Talisman’ that the former Supreme Elder had made, finally avoiding their detection." The Blood Lotus Sect Leader smiled, revealing himself from above the clouds, "This is the victory of the plan."
"Let them be as strong as they wish, the gentle breeze brushes the mountains; let them act as arrogantly as they please, the bright moon shines over the great river."
"No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, no matter how determined you are, what can you do?" chuckled the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect.
"What era is it? Still playing with traditional fighting and killing?"
In the world of cultivation, the old ways of fighting and killing are no longer relevant.
Only the winner will last in the end.
In an era where spiritual energy is declining, the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates are all competing for limited resources.
Among the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates, even the highest cultivation can only reach the level of the Soul Changing Taoist Lord. Relying solely on the abilities of the Soul Changing Taoist Lord is not as powerful as the ancient True Immortals who could move mountains and seize the stars.
Therefore, one must be cunning.
"Now."
"It’s time to harvest the fruits."
Sect Leader of the Blood Lotus was calm as water, his body turned into a rainbow and flew towards them swiftly.
He was very patient.
Even after Martial Saint died, he didn’t rush to step forward.
While Wu Qizheng tried to heal Qiao Mu, he continued to wait.
And now.
Finally, it was his time to make an appearance.
The Blood Lotus Sect has always been seen as a dark sect by the other Immortal Gates, their methods are naturally cruel and extraordinary.
Once these few people fell into his hands, it would be a fate worse than death…
At this moment, Qiao Mu was at the end of his rope, barely clinging to life with Wu Qizheng’s help.
Wu Qizheng entered the realm of Blood Flesh Divine Being, unsure of life and death.
It seemed that he didn’t fully control the ten-meter-tall Blood Flesh Divine Being, but he managed to temporarily slow it down.
With the power of the mighty Soul Changing Taoist Lord, it shouldn’t be a problem to defeat the Blood Flesh Divine Being without Martial Saint.
So, he finally stepped forward.
"Let’s deal with the Qiao family member first. It’s better to be cautious and test the waters, to avoid any tricks."
Despite having a huge advantage at the moment, the Blood Lotus Sect Leader remained vigilant after witnessing the latter half of the battle.
With a thought in his mind, he cast a spell with his hand and released a palm-sized lightning towards Qiao Mu, who was sitting cross-legged.
Qiao Mu didn’t move but just lifted his eyelids slightly.
And at that moment.
A flash of light could be seen.
The silent Faceless Blood Flesh Divine Being extended its arm, turning it into a long whip-like tentacle reaching towards the sky.
A thunderous sound echoed.
The palm-sized thunder in the sky burst into strands of electric light, while the long tentacles continued to curl towards the Blood Lotus Sect Leader in the sky.
The speed of these tentacles was not very fast, much slower than the previous attack on the Blood Lotus Sect Leader.
But the rainbow light in the sky suddenly turned like the wind, transforming into a shooting star and disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye, no longer visible.
Qiao Mu squinted his eyes.
"Interesting… but not much."
He raised his eyelids, looking at the Faceless Blood Flesh Divine Being’s figure.
There, Wu Jing, with a pale face and sweat on his forehead, struggled to pull his legs out of the bloody mud.
The attack that just scared off the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect was not actually made by the faceless Blood Flesh Divine Being.
It was him.
Even though not well-known, he still carried the last name of Wu, coming from the same Blood Flesh Incubation Creature background as Wu Qizheng.
"This can only happen once, after all, it is the Soul Changing Taoist Lord," Qiao Mu said slowly.
"Before long, he will figure it out. When he does, in his anger, you will meet a more terrible fate."
"It’s just a temporary plan to delay," Wu Jing wiped the sweat off his body.
He wasn’t a member of the Qiao family, nor a naturally strong-willed saint. Barely blocking the probing strike of the Blood Lotus Sect Leader with flesh and blood all around did indeed put immense pressure on him.
"After finally breaking free from Martial Saint’s control, I don’t want to die so soon," Wu Jing muttered softly.
"From what you’re saying, it seems like you have other plans, Qiao Mu raised an eyebrow."
"I can see that you all have unique skills, none of you are simple or ordinary."
Each of these people is very cunning and clever.
Unlike him, who is honest and straightforward, saying what is true without hiding anything.
Honorable people are open and honest, while dishonest people hide things. If you choose to be honest, you should not hide or pretend.
"Qiao Tu, the elder, doesn’t know," Wu Jing’s expression changed as he spoke.
Gradually, his appearance changed from being indistinguishable from Wu Qizheng to the robust man Qiao Mu first met, like 1st rank Flying Fish Guard Chen Feng.
"Actually, I mentioned to the late Qiao Qijin about the Great Yan Flying Fish Guard in the Blood Lotus Immortal Kingdom, there is also a clever young man still alive."
"The Flying Fish Guard of the Great Yan Emperor, who can survive in the Blood Lotus Immortal Kingdom until now, must have something special."
The words fell silent.
The ground beneath their feet cracked and split open, creating multiple gaps and ravines.
A deep, bottomless abyss suddenly appeared, swallowing Qiao Mu, Wu Jing, and even the Blood Flesh Divine Being.
Soon after, with a rumbling sound, the cracks in the earth closed up as if they were never there.
A moment later.
A rainbow light appeared in the sky, as the solemn Blood Lotus Sect Leader looked down at the chaotic ground below, frowning deeply.
