Chapter 53: Return to the Sect
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Fangxiang was the young man who was first detected to have spiritual roots.
Since the Spiritual Detection Bead started glowing, he had been in a state of confusion and fear.
He was not sure if the immortal who took him as a disciple was real, nor did he know where he was going. All he knew was that disobedience would mean death.
The carriage was very cramped, and they could not even stretch their legs straight. Furthermore, the constant jolting made their backs ache.
They did not dare to complain or talk for fear of angering the immortals. Even if they needed to urinate, they tried to hold it in and not speak up.
However, the immortals outside seemed to know everything. When they were about to lose control, he would stop the carriage and give them time to relieve themselves.
It was not until he ate the fasting pill and did not feel hungry for an entire day that he experienced the magic of the pill firsthand. This made Yu Fangxiang more curious about the immortal’s world.
When he woke up in the morning, he saw a still-warm campfire. He remembered that there was no fire before he went to sleep.
This made Yu Fangxiang think, Although this immortal doesn’t smile often, he doesn’t seem difficult to get along with.
When the carriage stopped again for the night, he mustered his courage and asked, “Imm… Immortal, where are we going?”
“My sect, the Blood God Sect. You will be disciples of the Blood God Sect in the future,” Zhang Chen replied calmly.
The other four widened their eyes. While they were surprised by Yu
Fangxiang’s boldness, they did not expect the immortal to answer.
Previously, when they met the other two immortals, they would kill people at the drop of a hat.
“Um… Immortal, are you really an immortal?” Yu Fangxiang couldn’t help but continue to ask.
Zhang Chen shook his head. “I am just a cultivator, a cultivator of the demonic path.”
Demon Sect!
The five were not children and knew what those two words meant.
“De… Immortal, can I not go?” one of them asked quietly.
Zhang Chen shook his head and did not speak.
If he agreed, these five people might all have to leave, and his sect mission would not be completed.
Besides, even if the five of them left, where could they go?
Huang Qi and Shen Rong were still in Wan City. They would still be brought back to the Blood God Sect.
If they did not return to Wan City, where else could they go?
Within 4,000 miles of this area, there were disciples of the Blood God Sect in every town, and these five people couldn’t avoid them.
Seeing this, the five hung their heads in despair.
After a while, Yu Fangxiang asked again, “Immortal, can you tell us about the situation of the Blood God Sect?”
“After you arrive at the Blood God Sect, you will naturally know. As long as you practice seriously, there will be no safety issues in the short term.” Zhang Chen ignored the five people.
The five of them did not dare to ask further.
The group spent the night under a hill in the wilderness, where Zhang Chen cut down a tree and lit a fire.
The flickering firelight reflected the heavy hearts of the five.
“Awoooo-
A wolf howl made the five panic. “It’s a wolf howl. There’s a wolf!”
Zhang Chen still sat in meditation with his eyes closed and did not move.
The five did not know what to do and could only nervously look around. It was dark all around them. They couldn’t see anything, but this scared them even more.
The fear of the unknown was the true fear, as no one knew what was in the darkness.
Any rustling sound would startle the five. For them, every moment was torture.
“Pa, pa, pa, pa…”
An hour later, there suddenly came the sound of many footsteps from around them, as if a group of wild animals were approaching.
In the darkness not far away, there were pairs of shiny green eyes, full of hunger, looking in this direction. “Eyes, there are so many glowing eyes. They must be wolves!”
“Immortal, save us, Immortal..
The five shouted for help and occasionally looked at Zhang Chen with pleading eyes.
Zhang Chen finally made a move. He stood up and disappeared in front of the five of them.
When they saw Zhang Chen disappear, the five became even more frightened. Just as they were about to shout, they heard the howling of the wolves.
“Awoooo!”
The green eyes in the darkness disappeared quickly.
After a few breaths, footsteps sounded in their ears.
As a figure stepped out of the darkness into the light of the fire, the hearts of
me live nnany secueu.
“It’s all right, sleep peacefully,” Zhang Chen returned to his previous position and sat cross-legged to meditate.
Is it really alright?
The five of them glanced at the surrounding darkness. It was silent and still, and the scent of blood seemed to be wafting in the air.
For some reason, the smell of blood gave them a sense of comfort.
The next day, the five were stunned by what they saw not far away.
Dozens of wolf corpses lay on the ground, their blood staining the surrounding grass a deep red.
It was too dark the night before and they were too far away to see what had happened in the darkness. They had only assumed that Zhang Chen had driven the wolves away.
Now they knew that he had killed all the wolves.
From the time he disappeared to the time he returned, it had only taken a few breaths to kill dozens of wolves?
The five were even more in awe of Zhang Chen.
As they continued on their journey by carriage, they encountered bandits who tried to rob them on the third day.
Zhang Chen simply raised his hand, and blood rain began to fall from the sky, causing the bandits to fall down and die one after another.
The five people peeping in the carriage were shocked by this display of power and took a while to recover.
Although he was from the demon sect, what was the difference between him having this kind of power and being an immortal?
The rest of the journey was relatively smooth, and after a month, they finally arrived at the Blood God Sect. “Get off, we’re here.”
VVére here?
The five got off the carriage and looked at the mountains and forests in front of them, feeling a bit puzzled.
Zhang Chen took out the beast breeding bag and injected spiritual power into it. Then he put the horse demon away.
The five were all amazed. Such a big horse was packed into a small bag?
The five of them stared at the beast breeding bag, trying to figure out its secrets.
“This is an illusion array. What you see might not be real. Next, follow me closely. No matter what you see, just follow me,” Zhang Chen instructed.
“Yes.” The five of them nodded.
Zhang Chen took out his identity token and injected spiritual qi into it. According to the instructions of the identity token, he entered the sect’s illusion array.
Although the five knew what they saw might not be real, they couldn’t help but pause when they almost ran into a big tree.
Because the tree in front of them was too real!
It wasn’t until Zhang Chen walked towards the tree and disappeared that they closed their eyes and walked forward.
Soon after, they smelled a strong smell of blood.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a huge archway with the words ‘Blood God Sect’ written on it.
Beyond that was a vast expanse of red mist, with some mountain buildings vaguely visible.
He had finally returned to the sect!
Zhang Chen put his hand on the archway and lifted the blood curse in his body.
“Eh! Someone else is back. Are there only five of them?” A guard disciple said in surprise.
“Yes. Senior Brother, where should I submit the mission?” Zhang Chen bowed and asked.
“Take them to the Internal Affairs Hall. Once they have been tested and found to have spiritual roots, your mission will be considered complete.” The guard disciple replied.
“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Zhang Chen first bowed and thanked him, then turned to the five of them and said, “Follow me.”
Soon, Zhang Chen led the five to the Internal Affairs Hall..
