Chapter 697: Chapter 369 Killing Blood Refining Cover
As Cheng Zhan spoke, everyone gained a deeper understanding of the Netherworld and some knowledge about Blood Disciples, Blood Slaves, and Xuezhi.
"It is said that above the Xuezhi, there are Blood Spirits. Whether it's Blood Spirits, Xuezhi, or Blood Slaves, in fact, they all belong to the mysterious and unknown Blood Lord of the Netherworld; they are either the disciples or the servants of the Blood Lord..."
Cheng Zhan continued to speak.
When he mentioned the Netherworld powerhouses at the Blood Spirit level, above the Xuezhi, Li Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking of the Blood Spirit Child!
Wu Tianan, who was outside the flying boat and also listening to Cheng Zhan's explanation, was also taken aback. Since seeing the legacy of the Blood Spirit Child, he had come to know that the child's devilish powers originated from a remnantsoul.
All signs indicated that the remnantsoul came from the Netherworld, and it was initially thought to be that of a Blood Disciple of the Netherworld. Now it seemed highly likely that it was the remnantsoul of a Blood Spirit level powerhouse of the Netherworld.
The real name of the Blood Spirit Child was not "Blood Spirit Child," a name he took only after he became a Blood Demon.
Had a Blood Spirit level powerhouse from the Netherworld once invaded the Heavenly Cave Ruins of the Spiritual Realm? And who had slain them?
Wu Tianan was very curious about this.
Cheng Zhan kept on explaining.
The Netherworld existed beyond the Domain, and it was the main enemy of the Qinghua state. The Heavenly Caves appearing in the Qinghua state were all Netherworld Caves—even a major sect like the Myriad Thunder Sect did not know how long the caves had been appearing.
It was as if the Heavenly Caves had existed since the beginning of the Qinghua state.
As the name suggests, the Heavenly Caves are the holes in the Domain, which connect to the Netherworld. The creatures of the Netherworld invaded through them, hence the name Netherworld Caves.
"... It's not that we don't want to counterattack the Netherworld and take it over, but despite the Heavenly Caves being the holes in the Domain, we are still restricted and unable to leave this Domain.
"And moreover, the Netherworld is indeed very powerful. The Qinghua state alone is far from enough to invade the Netherworld.
"Each state in the Divine Realm has Heavenly Caves, and not every state faces the same enemies. The enemy of the Qinghua state outside the Domain is the Netherworld.
"The enemies faced by other states, however, may not necessarily come from the Netherworld."
Cheng Zhan sighed, expressing his helplessness.
Without changing his facial expression, Li Xuan's mind became more active. The Taicang Domain faced external threats, and the emergence of Heavenly Caves was most likely due to some flaws in the Domain.
"Perhaps only by fully comprehending the Dao Principles of the Book of Taicang and then verifying the Dao Principles of the current Domain, can I understand where the flaw truly lies.
"Is the Netherworld another Domain? Could it be that beyond the Taicang Domain, there exist other Domains, and this is a struggle between Domains?"
Li Xuan felt his guess was very close to the truth.
Cheng Zhan continued to explain about the Netherworld Caves, but when he spoke about the Blood Shadow Tower of the Qinghua state, he was grinding his teeth with indignation. This place was a disgrace, a den of traitors, to be executed by everyone!
To become a Blood Shadow, one must perform a blood sacrifice, so every Blood Shadow's hands were stained with blood, brutally slaughtering the innocent.
Xu Yan and others took the opportunity to ask some questions, probing into the situation of the Divine Realm and understanding its common knowledge.
In the end, Cheng Zhan respectfully bowed to Li Xuan, saying, "I implore the senior to take pity on the common people of the Divine Realm, and take action to suppress the master of the Blood Shadow Tower!"
The addition of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable could change the situation in the Qinghua state.
"Where is the person?"
Li Xuan asked indifferently.
If he encountered the master of the Blood Shadow Tower, he would suppress and kill him on the spot.
Such a brutal person, how could there be any reason not to kill him?
"He should be in Da Yue Country!"
Cheng Zhan was overjoyed and hurriedly said with respect.
"Then let's go to Da Yue Country."
Li Xuan nodded.
The Qinghua state, especially Da Yue Country, was now the most chaotic. Many powerhouses needed to be stationed at the Heavenly Caves to fight against the Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves invading from the Netherworld, leaving no one available to restore order.
Neither the Myriad Thunder Sect nor the Tianwu Sect could offer support.
Following this, people like Lord Leiyun successively paid their respects to Cheng Zhan, revealing looks of worry on their faces.
Thousand Martial Hall was under the Tianwu Sect, and Leiyun Mountain Manor under the Myriad Thunder Sect. Now, both were amidst chaos, and they feared becoming cannon fodder.
The master of the Yuling Mansion looked even more upset; after all, the Yuling Mansion belonged to Da Yue Country. Da Yue Country was obviously in bad shape at the moment, at risk of destruction at any time.
Emperor Da Zhou, Fu Tianhai, and Xin Mengrou were a bit more at ease. Their Upper Sect was not in the Qinghua state, perhaps the region where their Upper Sect resided was not experiencing such turmoil?
However, to reach their Upper Sect, they would have to pass through the Qinghua state, and it had always been the practice for the three major forces of the Qinghua state to convey messages. Otherwise, they had to wait for the Sect Master to send someone proactively.
As a result, they would have to stay in the Qinghua state for a while. With their current strength in the chaotic Qinghua state, it was far too dangerous.
They were at risk of being sacrificed at any moment.
"We must stick close to the expert!"
This thought was cradled in everyone's mind. Only by following the expert closely could they be safe. Even if they encountered a Xuezhi, there would be no fear.
"Come aboard."
Fang Hao glanced at Emperor Da Zhou and the others. After receiving Li Xuan's permission, he spoke.
"Thank you, senior!"
"Thank you, noble one!"
Emperor Da Zhou and the others were overjoyed and extremely excited inside.
They all made their way onto the Evergreen Pavilion's Flying Ship.
Boom!
The Evergreen Pavilion's Flying Boat once again expanded, transforming into a colossal ship several hundred zhang in size.
Cheng Zhan and the others were shocked. What kind of Divine Artifact was this?
Too magical, too mysterious.
