Chapter 2225 Each with their own ulterior motives, divine thoughts take form

"This... Senior Sister, are we really going to do this? It's hundreds of lives at stake!"

The old man beside her looked at Huo Lingyan with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Huo Lingyan looked at him and gave him a cold smile.

“Junior Brother Xu, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles! Your kind heart is completely unacceptable.”

At this point, Huo Lingyan's expression turned unusually cold.

"I know that what we are doing is indeed somewhat cruel. But what does it matter to sacrifice these people who have nothing to do with our Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect for the sake of the sect's greater cause?"

Upon hearing this, Junior Brother Xu's expression immediately became extremely firm.

"Senior sister is right. Great people don't concern themselves with trifles! In that case, let's proceed with the second plan we originally came up with!"

At this point, Junior Brother Xu immediately waved to the several array masters of the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect behind him.

These Tianhuang Immortal Sect formation masters immediately understood.

Soon, they shot in from afar, appearing directly near the Black Demon Forbidden Land.

They also drove the battle flags into the ground.

Before long, a massive ancient formation, combining offense and defense, was formed.

hum!

As the immortal stone was placed into the formation.

Several terrifying array-like light screens rose into the air.

It directly enveloped the True Immortals who were attacking the protective array in the Black Demon Forbidden Land.

Almost simultaneously, terrifying attacks suddenly rained down from the array's light barrier.

Those powerful figures who were attacking the Black Demon Forbidden Land were struck in vital areas by a terrifying attack before they could even react.

Many people were killed on the spot without even letting out a scream.

The surviving powerful individuals suddenly realized what was happening. They glared at Huo Lingyan and the others, unleashing a torrent of curses.

"What are you doing? Why are you attacking us?"

"Damn it, we've been tricked by the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect. They're using our lives as a bargaining chip to open this great formation."

"Damn it, those heartless bastards from the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect! They actually used us as a blood sacrifice? If I had known about this earlier, would I have agreed to cooperate with them?"

Facing the wrath of countless true immortals, Huo Lingyan's red dress fluttered in the breeze, but the expression on her face remained unchanged.

"If you weren't driven by greed, how could you have fallen into our Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect's trap? Now that you've already fallen into our snare, you might as well just die!"

Huo Lingyan's nonchalant voice fell.

The array masters of the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect instantly understood.

Controlling the grand formation, it unleashed an even more powerful attack.

In the time it takes to eat a meal, the powerful figures who were working for the Tianhuang Immortal Sect just moments before have all turned into corpses.

Before long, the essence and vitality in these people's bodies were quietly drawn away by a mysterious force, and they fell rapidly into the depths of the Black Demon Forbidden Land.

Upon seeing this, a smile finally appeared on Huo Lingyan's lips.

Soon, her loud voice rang out as well.

"Senior, you have awakened? This junior, Huo Lingyan of the Tianhuang Immortal Sect, respectfully welcomes your return from seclusion!"

There was no sound from within the Black Demon Forbidden Land for a long time.

Only after the essence and life force in these True Immortal corpses had been completely absorbed by the mysterious power did an old man's voice resound from the Black Demon Forbidden Land.

"You juniors are truly ungrateful. Do you really think that you can get me to see you by offering these blood sacrifices?"

"Hehe, back when I fought against the ancient true immortals, let alone ants like you at the Heavenly Immortal realm, even a powerful Golden Immortal at the late stage of the Great Ferghana realm wouldn't dare to give me a second glance!"

"Could it be that the world has truly changed while I've been in seclusion for so many years?"

The old man's voice was very deep, yet it possessed a terrifying penetrating power.

This caused all the powerful figures from the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect present to tremble with fear.

Huo Lingyan, in particular, felt an unprecedented pressure from the old man's voice.

"Senior, although we didn't prepare much blood food this time, it should at least help you recover some of your energy, right?"

"If you require more blood offerings, this is indeed an opportunity. What do you think, senior?"

Huo Lingyan took a deep breath, and her respectful voice rang out.

Her words were quite cleverly worded.

But the old man in the Black Demon Forbidden Land kept sneering.

"You little rascal, you're quite impatient. Although I don't know the background of this Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect you're talking about, it's probably just a third-rate sect!"

"Do you really think that your little sect can win me over?"

"dream!"

The old man had read his mind.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have had the courage to continue negotiating with the old man.

Huo Lingyan smiled gently, remaining calm and composed.

"Senior, you may not know this, but your demon race is no longer as powerful as it once was."

"Even the current True Immortal Realm is not as good as the ancient True Immortal Realm where you were before."

"Even the Demon Ancestor wouldn't dare to show himself easily in the True Immortal Realm. Let alone a powerful demon like you, senior?"

"As you said, our Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect, though weak, is sincerely willing to cooperate with you!"

"Don't worry, senior. This is a good opportunity to collect blood offerings for you."

"If you agree to cooperate with our Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect, we will definitely provide you with a large number of Heavenly Immortal realm blood offerings. What do you think, Senior?"

Upon hearing this, the old man burst into a ferocious, maniacal laugh.

"Your thoughts, young lady, are indeed extraordinary. There are very few people in the entire ancient immortal realm who dare to speak to me like this!"

"However, seeing how courageous you are, I might give you a chance!"

"But it's just an opportunity."

"From this moment on, you shall find some more blood food for me that is at the Celestial Immortal level."

"Let me see how sincere you are first."

Upon hearing this, Huo Lingyan frowned slightly.

Just as she was wondering how to respond, a soft female voice suddenly rang in Huo Lingyan's ears.

"Just agree to that old man's request. As for the blood offering, I'll find a way for you!"

Huo Lingyan could tell that the person transmitting the message to her was none other than the Jade Ink Saintess of Yaoguang Cave.

Since the other party had said so, Huo Lingyan naturally had no reason to refuse.

In any case, her mission was to persuade this powerful demon in the Black Demon Forbidden Land.

As long as the other party agrees to cooperate with the Tianhuang Immortal Sect, that's fine.

As for who found the blood offering, it doesn't really matter.

"Senior, I can agree to your request. But what do you have to say about the cooperation between our Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect and you?"

"Hehe, you guys go get the blood food first. We'll talk about it after we get the blood food!"

The old man smiled faintly.

He immediately stopped talking.

Upon hearing this, Huo Lingyan immediately turned her head and quickly led the experts from the Tianhuang Immortal Sect away.

Long after Huo Lingyan left, just as the Jade Ink Saintess and the Cage Saintess, who were hiding in the shadows, were about to sneak away, a piercing cold snort immediately came from the Black Demon Forbidden Land.

"Two rats dare to be so insolent before this old man?"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, two terrifying demonic energies suddenly burst out from the Black Demon Forbidden Land and entered the bodies of the Cage Saint and the Jade Ink Saint.

Soon, the Holy Son of the Cage and the Holy Maiden of Jade Ink were greatly alarmed.

Just as the two were preparing to flee frantically, they discovered that the demonic energy that had entered their bodies had suddenly flowed into their dantian.

That terrifying energy could explode at any moment.

"What's happening here?"

"It looks like the legendary Blood Demon Diamond!"

"Damn it, how could it be the Blood Demon Diamond? Doesn't that mean our lives are in this person's hands?"

"Isn't this old bastard trapped in the Black Demon Forbidden Land? How could he possibly attack us through such a powerful ancient formation?"

The Jade Ink Saintess and the Cage Saint Son looked apprehensive and uneasy.

But for now, they dare not make any rash moves.

He was terrified that he might accidentally anger the old demon and bring about his own demise.

"Hehe, you two shouldn't struggle anymore. This thunder and fire formation that traps me is indeed a powerful formation from ancient times. But I haven't been idle all these years!"

"Through years of study and experimentation, I have been able to control a portion of the power of the Thunderfire Array."

"Even through the Thunderfire Array, it's not a big deal to be hit by a Blood Demon Drill!"

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you for the time being!"

The old man's words made the expressions of Jade Ink Saintess and Cage Saint Son extremely ugly.

But in order to survive, they had no choice but to bow down to the old man.

"Senior, what are your instructions?" Yu Mosheng asked hurriedly.

"Hehe, you're quite sensible. I do indeed have some matters that require your help. I've been trapped here for many years and need a lot of blood food to replenish my strength. You should also go and search for some blood food for me!" the old man said.

"This... Senior, with our combined cultivation levels, it might not be easy for us to kill the blood prey. How about you bestow some powerful offensive immortal artifacts upon us so we can complete your mission as quickly as possible?"

"Hehe, you don't need any magical artifacts, you just need to lure people here!"

"In that case, no problem. Please wait a moment, senior, we'll be off now!"

……

Chen Xuan was unaware that something major had already happened in the Black Demon Forbidden Land, the deepest part of Tianyuan Valley.

Now, he is completely focused on cultivating to become a True Immortal in the Immortal Beast Tower.

At this point, he had completely mastered the True Immortal Refining God Technique and reached the minor completion stage.

Wow!

Chen Xuan rapidly activated his divine sense, completely covering an area of ​​five hundred miles in radius.

At that moment, another terrifying divine thought erupted from the Niwan Palace.

Like a divine sword, it cleaved directly into the depths of the void.

boom!

Accompanied by a sharp explosion.

The intact void was pierced by a giant sword of divine sense, leaving a hole tens of feet in size.

"So powerful! Is this the divine sense transformation attack that comes with the True Immortal Refining God Technique? Its power is indeed terrifying!"

"If that attack had landed on a half-step Golden Immortal, they would have been severely injured, if not killed!"

Chen Xuan looked ecstatic.

He has only cultivated the True Immortal Refining God Technique to the minor completion stage.

If we wait until he cultivates the True Immortal Refining God Technique to its peak, the power of his divine sense transformation will continue to increase.

At that time, his mental attack power will also be greatly enhanced.

However, Chen Xuan dared not continue his secluded cultivation at this moment.

After all, this is Tianyuan Valley.

There are many crises.

Chen Xuan was afraid that he might spend too much time in seclusion in Tianyuan Valley, or that he might be trapped there due to some unforeseen event.

"My purpose in coming to Tianyuan Valley this time is simply to find the True Immortal Refining God Technique."

Now that I have obtained the True Immortal Refining God Technique, I should hurry up and leave.

Chen Xuan muttered softly.

The next moment, his figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot.

When he appeared again, he was already in the metallic mimicry space.

At this moment, Chen Chong is cultivating with all the Gold-Eating Insects.

Fifteen thousand gold-devouring insects flapped their wings incessantly, fighting each other.

The aura emanating from each of the Gold-Eating Insects was that of a late-stage Earth Immortal, or even a late-stage Earth Immortal at the Great Perfection realm.

That's why, when 15,000 gold-devouring insects fought together, the whole scene was in complete chaos.

Chen Chong, on the other hand, sat cross-legged on a boulder, continuously refining the metal-attribute holy bone that Chen Xuan had given him.

Perhaps sensing Chen Xuan's arrival, Chen Chong immediately stopped his cultivation technique and hurriedly got up.

"Meet the master."

Chen Xuan's gaze swept over Chen Chong, and sensing the aura emanating from him, he immediately revealed a look of surprise.
