Chapter 12: Manic Liu Ruyan and the Great Plunder Immortal Art

Saintess Peak. The Elixir Room.

“Ruyan, this is all Shifu can do for you. Whether you can break through the restraints now depends on your own destiny.”

Ji Yaoyue handed an elixir to Liu Ruyan, her tone heavy. As an alchemist, the most direct assistance she could provide for Liu Ruyan’s breakthrough was this very pill. The Five Elements Barrier-Shattering Pill she had refined for her embodied her painstaking effort and her expectations.

“Thank you, Shizun!” Liu Ruyan accepted the elixir and bowed, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

The elixir refined by Ji Yaoyue was exactly what the Fox Master had mentioned, a powerful guarantee that could help her break through her cultivation in a short time, and even achieve successive breakthroughs!

Just then, Ji Yaoyue suddenly coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, her aura weakening instantly.

“Shizun!” Liu Ruyan anxiously helped support her, but Ji Yaoyue waved her hand, then swallowed an elixir.

“The grade of this Five Elements Barrier-Shattering Pill is almost infinitely close to Earth-Grade elixirs. This is the highest-grade elixir Shifu can refine. Ruyan, I hope you won’t disappoint my expectations. You must defeat Lu Jin then, and successfully join the Scarlet Moon Holy Land!”

Almost everyone knew that once a disciple was accepted by the Scarlet Moon Holy Land, their family or supporting power would receive tremendous benefits! Every year, the Scarlet Moon Holy Land would grant enormous wealth, including various elixirs, cultivation techniques, war-weapons, and even fortunes that other Sects struggled desperately to obtain!

As the Shizun, the benefits received would be even greater! It was even known that after some disciples joined the Scarlet Moon Holy Land, their Shizun gained significant advantages in a short time, raised their cultivation, and became a significant figure!

The development ceiling of some Sects was entirely dependent on the amount of wealth bestowed by the Scarlet Moon Holy Land! If they could obtain a super-grade cultivation technique, a Sect could experience a complete rebirth, with experts emerging one after another, transforming into a significant power!

This was exactly Ji Yaoyue’s thought process. Compared to the rewards from the Scarlet Moon Holy Land, her current sacrifices seemed negligible.

Liu Ruyan, carrying the Five Elements Barrier-Shattering Pill, left the Elixir Room. She then mounted a flying beast and sped toward the north. Finally, she stopped above a certain Sect.

“Fox Master, are you ready?”

Liu Ruyan looked at the bustling scene below the Sect, a hint of bloodthirsty greed surfacing in her eyes.

Buzz…

The moment her voice fell, a black Spiritual Energy suddenly surged out of her body, immediately shrouding her entire figure. As she moved, the black mist coiled around her, making her appear like a demoness.

Go! This time, your Shifu will fully assist you!

Liu Ruyan’s eyes turned cold. Her inner Spiritual Energy erupted, and a black longsword flashed into existence in her hand. The first thing she did was cleave her own flying mount!

Boom!

As the mount’s blood spurted out, the black longsword immediately emitted a devouring force, instantly sucking the blood dry!

At the same time, within Liu Ruyan’s body, the Supreme Bone flashed with brilliant light, then returned to normal. Only a faint rune was vaguely visible above it.

“Great Plunder Immortal Art, hahaha, kill for me!”

Liu Ruyan’s eyes were bloodthirsty. She instantly plummeted from the sky like a demon, black light surrounding her sword as she frantically slaughtered the disciples of the Sect below!

With every slaughter, the devouring force of the black longsword instantly drained the victim’s blood, leaving the corpses withered husks!

No major powerful figures were presiding over that Sect; its Sect Master was merely in the Seventh-Grade Spirit Pearl Realm! The chaos within the entire Sect did not last long before it completely died down.

A hundred withered corpses lay scattered. The scent of blood in the air quickly vanished.

After slaughtering an entire Sect in her frenzy, Liu Ruyan swallowed the Five Elements Barrier-Shattering Pill and transformed into a streak of black demonic light, disappearing into the depths of the dark forest.

---

“Hm? The Kaishan Sect was actually wiped out?”

After an unknown period, a man and a woman flew over the Kaishan Sect. When they saw the withered corpses scattered haphazardly below, their expressions immediately turned grim.

“Senior Brother Mo Chen, could this be the work of the Blood Emissaries again?”

The woman, clad in a blue dress, had long hair draping her shoulders, a fair face, and a tall, striking figure. However, in her hand she held a long saber that seemed ill-suited to her ethereal temperament.

“The Blood Emissaries usually take the living directly to offer to the Scarlet Moon Ancestor. The situation here at Kaishan Sect is somewhat different.”

The man named Mo Chen had star-like eyes and sword-like eyebrows, giving him a handsome appearance. His aura was powerful; both of them were actually Golden Core Realm experts.

He flashed down for an inspection. After finding no leads, he left with the blue-robed woman. The place they were headed was none other than Myriad Sword Sect.

Myriad Sword Sect was heavily guarded; it wasn’t a place just anyone could enter casually. But when the two arrived at the mountain gate, a mysterious light flew out from Mo Chen’s hand, it was a dark-colored flying bird. When the bird flew out, the expressions of the Myriad sword Sect gate-keeping disciples changed, and they nodded to the pair, watching them enter the depths of the mountain gate.

Mo Chen and the blue-robed woman followed the flying bird all the way to the location of Sect Master Chu Tianxiong. He was usually nowhere to be found, but following the flying bird led them quickly to him.

“Hall Master!” Mo Chen and the woman, Zi Xuan, bowed respectfully.

Chu Tianxiong nodded, getting straight to the point: “Is there a situation?”

“Hall Master! Junior Sister Zi Xuan and I passed by Kaishan Sect and found the entire Sect had been completely massacred. Moreover, everyone was turned into husks, utterly bloodless. This shouldn’t be the work of the Blood Emissaries.”

Chu Tianxiong frowned upon hearing this. “Kaishan Sect was wiped out? Were you able to find any clues?”

Mo Chen regretfully shook his head.

“Alright, this Master is aware of the matter. I will personally investigate it.”

“How are things for you two within the Scarlet Moon Holy Land?”

Zi Xuan replied: “Hall Master, the Scarlet Moon Ancestor’s strength is growing increasingly powerful, and he requires more and more blood food. The Blood Emissaries capture no less than a hundred living people every day! Furthermore, the Scarlet Moon Ancestor is now fully engaged in secluded cultivation. Let alone us, even the people from the Holy Land’s Four Great Clans find it difficult to meet him.”

Chu Tianxiong slightly frowned, closed his eyes for a moment, then grabbed both their wrists. He glanced at their curse marks and shook his head slightly.

“The Scarlet Moon Curse marks on both of you are deepening! You must be even more careful in your actions in the future. This Master knows your thoughts, but those who wish to achieve great things should not be constrained by minor setbacks. The temporary forbearance and humiliation, all of your resentment, must be swallowed!”

“Hall Master, we understand!”

“For the sake of the Holy Hall, we are willing to die!” Their eyes were resolute.

“This Master does not want you to die. This Master wants you to personally witness the Scarlet Moon Ancestor being obliterated, leaving no burial ground!”

“Disciples, remember your words!”

Just as the two walked out of Myriad Sword Sect, Chu Tianxiong also vanished within the Sect. The matters he was undertaking were secretive and mysterious, yet they were like an undercurrent, silently gathering momentum…

Buzz!

Just then, a fluctuation from a transmission slip within Zi Xuan’s Storage ring was transmitted. Her expression changed drastically!

“It’s bad, Senior Brother Mo! Ling Tao is trapped in the Fire Jiao Cave, and his life or death is unknown!”

“Are you referring to the Fire Jiao Cave in the Thunder Abyss forbidden area?”
