Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 390: Chapter 279 Ending Before Returning_2

The scene before Zhao Sheng was the best proof.

Zhao Sheng’s expression was indifferent, but his vast Divine Sense had already spread out, enveloping the entire grassland in an instant.

After searching several times with his Divine Sense, he found nothing unusual.

Aside from the Blood Robed Elder and the red-robed youth, there was no one else here.

At this moment, a series of footsteps approached from behind; it was Zhao Luochi drawing near.

“Ancestor, this is also my first time here, so please be careful.”

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, but did not respond with a transmitted message.

“Master Zhao, brother Luochi, please come to my humble abode for some Spiritual Tea,” Zeng Kui said to the two, then led them toward the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, they went straight into the main hall.

At this time, the red-robed youth did not follow them in; he delivered the Spiritual Tea with a serious expression and excused himself from the room.

The three settled down and took a sip of Spiritual Tea before the Blood Robed Elder Zeng Kui initiated the conversation.

“Master Zhao, you sent a message through brother Luochi requesting to see me, so I presume there is something urgent. What might it be? I greatly admire that someone as young as you has already advanced to the Golden Core. As long as it is within my power, I shall not disappoint you.”

“Mr. Zeng, you may not know that I am from the Zhao Family of Xinglong Origin in Central Continent, which shares the same origins as the ancestors of the Dome Turtle Zhao Family,” Zhao Sheng said with a light chuckle.

“Ha, I mustn’t hide it from Master Zhao. I am quite familiar with your background. But what does this have to do with your visit today?” Zeng Kui asked with a hearty smile, glancing at Zhao Luochi.

“I am here on behalf of both the Xinglong and Dome Turtle families to propose a few trades with your sect,” Zhao Sheng stated seriously.

“Oh? I would like to hear more,” Zeng Kui said upon hearing this, exhaling slightly as if his entire demeanor relaxed a bit.

“Mr. Zeng, are you aware of the seal at Heavenly Burial Plain? Do you recognize the name Netherworld Ghost Realm? As I understand, your sect has deep connections with the Netherworld Ghost Realm,” Zhao Sheng said calmly and indifferently.

“Hmm? Master Zhao, I do not understand the meaning behind your words. Are you purposely mocking me?” Zeng Kui’s hand stiffened, and his face suddenly turned ugly. He paused before replying coldly.

“Mr. Zeng, do not be hasty. It seems you are also aware of the precarious situation your sect faces in this realm as the great war between the two realms approaches,” Zhao Sheng said slowly.

“I’ve heard a bit about the war between the two realms as well, but it has absolutely nothing to do with our sect. If Master Zhao is only going to waste words, then I have nothing to discuss with you. Please leave at once,” Zeng Kui demanded, standing up abruptly, his face devoid of any expression.

“Oh, it seems you are very wary of the Netherworld Ghost Realm.

Not to worry, Mr. Zeng. Let Zhao first treat you to some entertainment before bidding farewell,” Zhao Sheng replied with a faint smile.

“Entertainment?” Upon hearing this, Zeng Kui’s anger receded slightly, with a trace of surprise flickering in his eyes.

“Since I, Zhao Luochi, have strayed from the path, I will bear the consequences alone. Hall Master Zeng, I shall repay the favor owed to your sect with my life!”

At that moment, Zhao Luochi stood up emotionlessly and spoke in a low voice.

“What? Brother, you mustn’t!” Zeng Kui was taken aback, his expression suddenly grave as he thought to intervene, but he then sensed an overwhelming pressure coming from beside him.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Zhao Luochi’s body burst forth with a surge of blood light, a series of cracking sounds emerged from within him, his eyes suddenly lifeless, his complexion turned deathly pale, and then he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Zhao Sheng, who was sitting nearby, could clearly sense that Zhao Luochi had perished from destroying his own heart meridian, energy meridians, and Dantian, and he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

With death, debts are erased.

Since the man was dead, his clan lineage naturally need not suffer any repercussions.

“Master Zhao, you are very good! How ruthless!” Zeng Kui slammed the table as he stood, shouting angrily.

Even within the Blood Demon Sect, a Perfect Foundation Establishment Cultivator was extremely rare, let alone among the Dome Turtle Zhao Family.

That he was willing to let Zhao Luochi commit suicide showed not only a merciless nature but also a strong hand.

Such a useful pawn had died before his very eyes, and Zeng Kui was both pained and furious.

Zhao Sheng simply smiled faintly, still remaining seated without moving.

Seeing this, Zeng Kui’s expression suddenly darkened immensely, and he coldly sat back down.

“Your methods are quite impressive, but to think that this alone will free you from our sect is far too simplistic,” Zeng Kui said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng raised his wrist without a word, and a Fire Blade shot out from his fingertips, swiftly slicing open Zhao Luochi’s forehead, from which a streak of fresh blood flowed.

“Rise!”

With a soft shout, Zhao Sheng raised his sword finger, and a hazy blood-colored Elixir Pearl rose from the forehead.

The appearance of the blood-colored Elixir Pearl instantly changed Zeng Kui’s expression.

With his Divine Sense bursting forth, the Elixir Pearl suddenly flew towards Zhao Sheng’s fingertip, spinning ceaselessly.

At that moment, porcelain bottles and tea cups shattered, falling to the floor.

Humph!

Zeng Kui grunted, seeming to have suffered a setback.

“With this Blood Spirit Pill, that should suffice for you to settle accounts,” Zhao Sheng flicked his finger, and the blood-colored Elixir Pearl instantly flew before Zeng Kui, who swept it into his sleeve.

Zeng Kui looked up at Zhao Sheng, showing a complex expression, before finally sighing and saying:

“Master Zhao, your knowledge of my Blood God Sect runs deep, even aware of the Blood Spirit Pill. This puzzles me. Within our sect, only the elder True Immortals at the Golden Core Realm are privy to such secrets. How did you come by this knowledge?”
