On Pingyang Hill, the slaughter resumed.
Amidst the flying blood and limbs, the demon cultivators of the Demon Refining Sect clashed once again with the followers of the Blood Lotus Sect.
The brutal killing was even worse than in the previous days.
In the dark space, several black shadows hovered.
Sensing the departure of Blue Star III’s voice, everyone frowned slightly.
Dangerous Star I, seated at the head, murmured softly, “That guy… Could it be that Blue Star III is heading to that forbidden zone where cultivation is sealed?”
Although the uprising of the Blood Lotus Sect had only been for a dozen days, the news had already spread throughout the cultivation world.
Now, both the righteous and demonic paths, as well as the major sects, were all paying attention to the strife outside Tianjiao City.
The Demon Refining Sect was a major sect of the demonic path, yet the Blood Lotus Sect chose to rise up on their territory and even designated a fifteen hundred-li radius as a forbidden zone for cultivators…
This was a terrifying tale for the entire cultivation world.No one wanted their own land to suddenly become a forbidden zone where cultivation was sealed.
This was something no cultivator could tolerate—neither righteous nor demonic.
Therefore, the powerful figures of both the righteous and demonic paths were watching, waiting to see how the Demon Refining Sect would counterattack and how the Blood Lotus Sect would respond.
The most important thing was… the power of the Blood Lotus Sect that turned the land into a forbidden zone.
Where did it come from? And could it be replicated on other lands?
In such a situation, the mysterious and unpredictable Blue Star III suddenly said he was going to venture into that forbidden zone…
Logically, such a statement was not credible.
For cultivators, stepping into that land that stripped away everyone’s cultivation was a great risk.
Walking in such a forbidden zone, even a powerful being from the Purple Mansion could die at the hands of a mortal.
Smart people would not get involved in such muddy waters; the risk was too great.
This was also why the major sects were nervous and only observed. Everyone dared not act rashly, wanting the Demon Refining Sect to wade through this muddy water.
But now, the one who said he would take the risk was not someone else but the mysterious and unpredictable Blue Star III.
Everyone still remembered the last time Blue Star III projected the terrifying image of an ancient evil god in this place…
Heart Star, wearing a dark red robe, spoke softly, “This Blue Star III… could he be a madman keen on seeking death? Just a few months ago, he went to seek out the ancient evil god, and now he’s wading into the muddy waters of the Blood Lotus Sect…”
Ghost Star VII sighed, “This guy’s actions are too unfathomable… What benefit does he gain by risking his life to do these things? It’s incomprehensible!”
Regarding everyone’s speculation, Everlasting North Star shook his head, “Maybe it’s not as complicated as you think. Blue Star III doing these things might not be for some personal gain.”
“He might simply have the world in his heart, so he’s willing to venture into dangerous places to investigate the sources of these dangers.”
“Whether it was the last time with the ancient evil god or this time heading to the Blood Lotus Sect’s forbidden zone… Blue Star III’s actions are beneficial to all beings.”
“He walks the same path of salvation as us.”
“My intuition is rarely wrong, and I believe Blue Star III is a fellow traveler on our path.”
Everlasting North Star spoke thus, and the people in the darkness fell silent.
“Your assessment of Blue Star III is as high as ever…”
“Everlasting North Star, you truly favor this person…”
“Do you know him? Otherwise, where does this confidence come from?”
In the dark space, Everlasting North Star smiled faintly. He neither confirmed nor denied the suspicions of the others.
“I’ve said it, my intuition is rarely wrong.”
“When the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect joined, I said that he could not be deeply trusted, but you all didn’t believe me.”
“Now I appreciate Blue Star III, and you still don’t believe me…”
Everlasting North Star shook his head, “I should go back now. That’s all for today; please excuse me.”
He raised his hand and saluted the others in the dark space from afar, then Everlasting North Star disappeared into the darkness.
Watching Everlasting North Star’s figure vanish into the dark, the remaining people silently looked at each other.
Ghost Star VII hesitantly said, “Everlasting North Star’s intuition in the past is indeed sharp…”
Well Wood Prison looked at the others, “Perhaps we could try to trust Blue Star III? Since he is willing to risk entering the Blood Lotus Sect’s forbidden zone, why don’t we offer him some help? It might allow the Four Directions Cauldron to fall back into slumber… What do you think?”
Well Wood Prison, who was usually silent, spoke out of turn twice today.
After hearing his suggestion, everyone fell silent again.
After a while, a sigh from Dangerous Star I echoed in the darkness.
“This matter is of great importance. Everyone should think it over…”
“We’ll vote on this matter the next time we gather.”
In the dark space, Dangerous Star I’s figure disappeared.
The others exchanged glances and then left one after another.
Finally, in the empty darkness, no one remained.
……
“…we can’t hold on much longer.”
The firelight was bright, illuminating half of the night sky on Pingyang Hill, where Yan Xiaoru sat in the tent, quietly looking at Li Muyang in front of her.
Outside the camp, a raging fire had been lit. The medicinal powder refined by the Demonic Sect, combined with the corpses dragged from the battlefield, burned together, creating a blindingly bright sun.
This dazzling flame, after burning, would form a strange toxin that would drift downwind, blocking the followers of the Blood Lotus Sect from attacking at the foot of the mountain.
Previously, when Li Muyang and the others could not hold on, they would use this method to repel the enemy, buying time to rest and heal.
The only flaw was that the corpses were consumed quickly, and those dragged back from the battlefield halfway up the mountain would soon be burned to ashes.
Wiping the bloodstains from her face, Yan Xiaoru said solemnly to Li Muyang, “Perhaps we won’t be able to wait for rescue from our sect.”
The group of demons from the Blood Lotus Sect that besieged Pingyang Hill today were far more formidable and terrifying than the previous followers of the Blood Lotus Sect.
Those followers who had transplanted the flesh and blood of demons into their bodies could unleash bizarre powers far beyond that of ordinary people.
In this land where cultivation was sealed, their strange method of cultivation through flesh modification was surprisingly not greatly restricted.
Each of those grotesque followers of the Blood Lotus Sect could be considered humanoid monsters.
In just one afternoon of fighting, more than forty cultivators on Pingyang Hill had perished.
Now, only a hundred cultivators from the Demonic Sect remained on Pingyang Hill.
At this rate, by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, Pingyang Hill, which had withstood sieges for more than ten days, would fall to the onslaught of the Blood Lotus Sect demons.
Yan Xiaoru looked at Li Muyang and said, “Things have come to this point. You have only one last way out.”
The jeers of the Blood Lotus Sect could once again be heard from the foot of the hill.
“That Demonic Sect brat named Li Muyang!”
“Our Helmsmen said the Helmsmen might spare your life if you surrender obediently!”
“The benefits Miss Shen promised you before are still valid!”
“This is your last chance! Don’t be ungrateful, boy!”
The followers of the Blood Lotus Sect shouted loudly, their voices echoing through the wilderness.
Unexpectedly, during the lull in the fighting, that group of Blood Lotus Sect demons had started their persuasion to surrender again.
Listening to the voices persuading surrender from below the hill, Li Muyang sighed and said, “Actually, I might consider it if the Blood Lotus Sect wasn’t so stubborn and would allow me to surrender with everyone.”
