Chapter 750 The Profound Sect Suppresses, the Demonic Sect Counterattacks (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Testing?"

Li Wujiu sneered, a wisp of blood flashing from his fingertip, scorching a black hole in the table in front of him. "You said the same thing last year when Li Yunjing didn't return, and what happened?"

"The twelve core elders sent to launch a sneak attack on 'Wanghai City' have not even had their remains recovered!"

"Although he is currently in seclusion, the Shenxiao Dao Sect still has Nascent Soul Grand Elders such as Jiuyou and Xiao Chenyu in the South China Sea. Which of you can guarantee that you will come back alive?"

Li Wujiu's question was forceful and resounding, and everyone else fell silent.

The power of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" instilled extreme fear in the surrounding forces.

This is also the main reason why various forces continue to resist.

“Master, we are not alone.”

"The day before yesterday, the leader of the 'Bone-Eating Sect' sent word that they had found Wei Henian's whereabouts!"

The "Poison Heart Elder" on the right turned pale, but still forced himself to say, "That Wei Henian possesses evil skills and has an irreconcilable hatred for Li Yunjing. If we can persuade him to join forces, even if Li Yunjing comes out of seclusion, we will still have the strength to fight him!"

"Wei Henian?"

A glint of light flashed in Li Wujiu's eyes.

He had long heard that this person possessed the evil art of stealing luck and had repeatedly escaped from the hands of Nascent Soul cultivators. If he could use him to restrain Li Yunjing, it would be a good move.

However, Wei Henian seems difficult to control!
"Have the 'Bone-Eating Sect' contact Wei Henian as soon as possible, and offer him sufficient benefits!"

"As long as we can kill Li Yunjing, he can choose any three of our demonic sect techniques!"

Li Wujiu said fiercely.

"This……"

The others hesitated. Wouldn't this be letting someone else benefit from their sect's techniques for nothing?
"Master, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Which of our Blood Soul Sect's 'Blood Soul Devouring Scripture' and 'White Bone Demon Art' isn't a core technique passed down for ten thousand years?"

Elder Soul Devourer suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with anxiety, and his voice rose a few decibels, "Wei Henian already possesses evil skills. If he were to acquire our demonic skills as well, he might turn against us in the future. Wouldn't that be like raising a tiger to cause trouble?"

"Yes! Wei Henian is an ungrateful wretch who can't be tamed!"

"If he can betray the Divine Firmament Dao Sect, then he can definitely betray us!"

"We absolutely must not teach him his real skills!"

"Yes! We might even use poison, witchcraft, or other means to place a restriction on him, making him forever subservient to us!"

……

The other elders in the hall echoed this sentiment, their gazes towards Li Wujiu filled with dissuasion.

It should be noted that the various sects of the Demonic Path have always been secretive about their techniques, rarely passing on even basic methods, let alone core techniques. Now, Li Wujiu is offering to produce three different demonic techniques at once, which is an unprecedented concession.

This greatly displeased many of the Supreme Elders!
You should know that some people don't even have the ability to cultivate three top-level demonic arts at once!

Why should someone as insignificant as him have this opportunity?
"Raising a tiger to cause trouble?"

Li Wujiu slammed his hand on the armrest of the throne, sending bone fragments scattering as they fell. "The greatest threat now is Li Yunjing! It's the Shenxiao Dao Sect!"

"Do you think that now that Li Yunjing has emerged from seclusion, we'll have a good time?"

He stood up, crimson mist swirling around him, making his face appear even more ferocious. "This man is ambitious, constantly appearing in the East Sea, the South Sea, across the mountains, and in the Youyue Kingdom, waging war against various forces. If we allow the 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' to continue expanding, we won't even have a foothold in a hundred years!"

These words struck everyone like a heavy hammer blow, and the hall fell into a deathly silence.

They had to admit that what Li Wujiu said was true!

The Shenxiao Dao Sect is currently at its zenith, and Li Yunjing is a once-in-a-millennium genius in the cultivation world. If we don't join forces to break the deadlock while he's in seclusion, the various sects of the Demonic Path may truly face annihilation when he emerges.

"But... but three kinds of demonic arts are still too many."

“Wei Henian is cunning and suspicious. Even if we give him the cultivation technique, he may not be willing to put in the effort.”

Elder Poison Heart hesitated before speaking, "Why not give him one type first, and then give him the other two types after the matter is settled, so that we can keep him in check?"

A thoughtful look flashed in Li Wujiu's eyes, clearly indicating that he was also weighing the pros and cons.

He knew Wei Henian's character well; the man was extremely ambitious, and he might not be tempted if the benefits weren't sufficient.

But if you give too much, you might not be able to control it in the future.

"As you say."

After a moment, Li Wujiu finally relented, "Let's grant him a demonic skill first, the Blood Shadow Escape Technique! This technique excels at concealment and escape, which perfectly suits his need to escape from near death multiple times, and it will also show him our sincerity."

He paused, his tone growing increasingly cold, "Furthermore, have the 'Bone-Eating Sect' send people to keep an eye on Wei Henian. If he dares to outwardly comply but inwardly defy them, or tries to monopolize the benefits afterward, then take action directly and take his head!"

"The leader is wise!"

The elders responded in unison, their hearts finally at ease.

Although the Blood Shadow Escape Technique is also a superior demonic art of the Blood Soul Sect, it is far less threatening than core techniques like the Blood Soul Devouring Scripture, which can improve cultivation. Moreover, it can be used to test Wei Henian's attitude, making it a foolproof plan.

Li Wujiu sat back on the throne, toying with a blood-red token between his fingers, his eyes gleaming with calculation: "Also, have the 'Bone-Eating Sect' deliberately leak information to the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect,' saying that Wei Henian is going to join forces with us to launch a surprise attack on 'Wanghai City.'"

"Master, why is this?"

Elder Soul Devourer asked in bewilderment, "If the news is leaked in advance, and the Divine Firmament Dao Sect is on guard, won't our plan fall through?"

"Failed?"

Li Wujiu sneered, "That's exactly what I want—for them to be on guard!"

He stood up, walked to the map of the South China Sea hanging in the hall, pointed to the location of "Wanghai City," and asked, "Do you really think I'm going to attack this place?"

"That's a feint!"

“We will split into two groups. One group will be led by the ‘Bone-Eating Sect’ and will take Wei Henian to launch a feint attack on ‘Wanghai City’ to attract the attention of the ‘Shenxiao Dao Sect’.”

He turned to look at the elders, his eyes filled with ruthlessness: "The other group will be led by our 'Blood Soul Sect,' which will command all the major demonic sects to sweep away the forces in the South China Sea that have sided with the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect,' and uproot their lackeys!"

"Wonderful!"

Elder Poison Heart's eyes lit up. "The 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect's' attention is all on 'Wanghai City,' leaving other places undefended. We're sure to succeed in one fell swoop!"

"Not only that."

A sinister glint flashed in Li Wujiu's eyes, "We can also besiege the stronghold and attack the reinforcements, killing as many experts as possible from the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'!"

Upon hearing this, all the elders showed expressions of admiration.

This elaborate scheme, with each step linked to the next, weakened the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" while simultaneously increasing its own power; it was practically flawless.

"Without delay, immediately send a message to the Bone-Eating Sect and tell them to proceed according to plan!"

Li Wujiu waved his hand, his tone carrying an unquestionable command, "Also, notify the 'White Bone Cave,' 'Black Wind Sea,' and other sects to send people to participate in the battle as well. Tell them that after the success, we will split the profits equally among them!"

"Yes!"

The elders responded in unison, then turned and left to prepare to deploy troops.

"Li Yunjing, do you think you can rest easy just by going into seclusion to cultivate?"

Only Li Wujiu remained in the hall. He gazed northward, a cruel smile playing on his lips: "This time, I will make sure your 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' is severely weakened, and let you taste the bitterness of losing everything!"

Crimson mist swirled around him, shrouding the entire hall in a gloomy atmosphere, as if foreshadowing a bloody storm about to sweep across the Southern Continent.

Deep in the South China Sea, in a secluded cave shrouded in black miasma, Wei Henian sat cross-legged on a stone bed covered in blood-stained patterns.

His face was as pale as paper, and a deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest had not yet healed. Black blood slowly seeped out from the wound, emitting a pungent, fishy smell.

This injury occurred when he escaped from the rift in the secret realm, caused by the aftershocks of Li Yunjing's purple lightning. Even with the protection of the "Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique," it would take him several months to barely survive.

"Cough cough..."

Wei Henian coughed violently, a trace of black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were filled with resentment and venom. "Li Yunjing... if I don't kill you, I, Wei Henian, swear I'm not a human being!"

Just then, a soft footstep sound came from outside the cave, and two figures slowly walked in, piercing through the miasma.

The leader, dressed in a black robe with skull patterns embroidered on the hem, was none other than the Second Elder of the "Bone-Eroding Sect," Bone Evil.

Behind him followed an elder of the "Blood Soul Cult," who held a black wooden box in his hands and exuded a sinister aura.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, how have you been?"

Gu Xie wore a fake smile, his gaze fixed on the wound on Wei Henian's chest, a glint of calculation flashing in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Bone Demon!"

Wei Henian suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with vigilance, and a faint blood-red light emanated from his body: "Who is this?"

He had previously appeared within the territory of the "Bone-Eating Sect" through spatial turbulence. He was severely injured and unable to move, so he was rescued by the "Bone-Eating Sect".

After learning Wei Henian's identity, the "Bone-Eating Sect" had no intention of killing him to steal his treasure.

Wei Henian has immense value!
Living is far more important than dying.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be nervous."

"This is the Remnant Wind Taoist of the Blood Soul Sect!"

"We're here to help you."

"Your feud with Li Yunjing is known throughout the entire Southern Continent!"

Gu Xie waved his hand, signaling the "Blood Soul Sect" fellow Daoists behind him to hand over the wooden box. "And we, too, want to eliminate Li Yunjing and destroy the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'."

"help me?"

Wei Henian stared at the wooden box, not reaching out to take it, his tone icy: "The Demonic Sect never acts without self-interest. What do you want?"

He knew all too well how ruthless the Demonic Sect was, and if he trusted them too easily, he might fall into an even bigger trap.

Wei Henian was not someone easily fooled.

From the actions of the "Bone-Eating Sect," Wei Henian had already sensed that the other party intended to use him and would not completely eliminate him.

This is the leverage in negotiations!

Now that the other party has sent something and stated their purpose, it's clear that this is the reason for rescuing him.

Now that he had the confidence, Wei Henian prepared to have a good talk with them and extract some benefits from them.

He needs the help of the Demonic Sect to restore his damaged body. He can't stay missing a leg forever; otherwise, he'll become a cripple.
If I travel the world in the future, won't I be laughed at to death?

Gu Xie smiled, opened the wooden box, inside were a blood-red jade slip and a bottle of pills.

"This bottle of 'Blood Transformation Pill' can help you heal your injuries quickly and even increase your cultivation by 10%. As for this jade slip, it contains the Blood Soul Sect's superior demonic technique, 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique,' which excels at concealment and escape, perfectly matching your needs."

Daoist Canfeng explained coldly.

Wei Henian's gaze fell on the jade slip, his pupils contracting slightly. Although he had never seen the "Blood Shadow Escape Technique," he had heard rumors about it, and it was clearly an extremely powerful escape technique!

If one can learn this technique, it will be easier to escape if one encounters Li Yunjing again in the future.

"What about the conditions?"

Wei Henian suppressed the turmoil in his heart and remained vigilant.

He knew that the Demonic Sect would never give him such a benefit for no reason.

The most crucial thing is to figure out what you need to do.

"The conditions are simple."

"We need you to join forces with my 'Bone-Eating Sect' and 'Blood Soul Sect' to launch a feint attack on 'Sea-Gazing City'!"

"After attracting the attention of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, the Blood Soul Sect will lead other demonic sects to sweep away the forces in the South China Sea that have sided with the Shenxiao Dao Sect."

Gu Xie's smile faded, and his tone became serious. "After this is done, not only will we split the resources of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' equally, but the 'Blood Soul Sect' will also teach you two more core demonic arts and provide resources to help you break through to the Nascent Soul realm!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Henian's heart was immediately stirred.

Sweeping away the affiliated forces of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" would not only weaken Li Yunjing's foundation but also seize resources, making it entirely beneficial for him!
More importantly, breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm has always been his obsession!

He was confident that he could confront Li Yunjing head-on if he could reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

"A feint attack on 'Wanghai City'?"

However, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he pondered and said, "There are Nascent Soul Grand Elders such as Jiuyou and Xiao Chenyu stationed there. We may not be able to achieve our goal of attracting other reinforcements from the Divine Firmament Dao Sect to aid Wanghai City?"

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, we will not actually engage in a head-on battle with a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Divine Firmament Dao Sect."

"All you need to do is show your face and create chaos outside Wanghai City to attract the attention of the garrison!"

“Once the reinforcements from the Shenxiao Dao Sect arrive, you can use the Blood Shadow Escape Technique to escape.”

Gu Xie explained, "As for Jiu You and the others, the Blood Soul Sect will send someone to keep them in check and will never put you in danger."

Wei Henian stared into Gu Xie's eyes, trying to find a flaw in them.

But Gu Xie's expression was calm, and his tone was flawless, as if he was truly considering his feelings.

"How can I trust you?"

Wei Henian asked, "If you go back on your word afterward, refuse to give me the demonic arts, or even try to take the opportunity to get rid of me, wouldn't I have gained nothing in the end?"

"This is the Blood Oath of the Blood Soul Sect. Sect Leader Li Wujiu has left his divine soul imprint on the token!"

"If we go back on our word afterward, you only need to crush the token, and Master Li will suffer a backlash to his soul."

Daoist Canfeng took out a black token from his robes and handed it to Wei Henian: "This is enough to prove our sincerity, isn't it?"

Wei Henian took the token, and felt a cool sensation on his fingertips. He could clearly feel the divine power contained within the token.

This is indeed a blood oath that only high-ranking members of the Demonic Sect can possess; it is by no means a forgery.

"Okay, I promise you."

Wei Henian finally relented, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, "But I have one condition!"

"What conditions?"

Upon seeing Wei Henian's agreement, Gu Xie Zhenren and Canfeng Daoren showed a hint of joy on their faces, and even their speech became much gentler.

"Then treat my injuries first!"

Wei Henian said in a deep voice, "I must be completely unharmed and have my magic power restored to its peak."

"no problem!"

Gu Xie agreed without hesitation, "What do these resources matter as long as we can get rid of Li Yunjing?"

He was secretly delighted. Wei Henian had indeed taken the bait. After the deed was done, let alone 30% of the resources, whether he could keep Wei Henian's life would depend on the "Blood Soul Sect's" decision.

"You can focus on your cultivation now!"

Daoist Canfeng added, "We'll come back to you a month from now, once we're all ready!"

"it is good!"

Wei Henian nodded without saying anything more.

When dealing with people from the Demonic Sect, there's no need to invest emotions; the best approach is to exchange benefits.

Bone Demon and Remnant Wind Daoist exchanged a glance, nodded, and then took their leave.

The first step of this plan has been completed. Next, they will unite with various demonic cultivators to prepare a counterattack plan.

They naturally wouldn't focus all their energy on Wei Henian.

As for Wei Henian's disagreement?

With people from the Demonic Sect all around, Wei Henian had no choice but to agree!

"You want to use me?"

"Heh heh! We'll see who's using whom!"

"Do these fools think they can bribe me, Wei Henian, with such a small benefit?"

"It's just nonsense!"

"As for their intention to deal with Li Yunjing?"

"It's all just daydreaming!"

"Li Yunjing's only opponent is me, Wei Henian; no one else is a match for him!"

"I will drain the blood of the Blood Soul Cult and the Bone-Eating Sect, and use the power of the demonic sect to nourish myself and become stronger!"

After the two left, Wei Henian muttered to himself.

After a long while, he picked up the "Blood Transformation Pill" from the wooden box, poured out one pill, and swallowed it.

The moment the pill entered his stomach, Wei Henian began to circulate the "Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique".

This evil technique is adept at plundering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the fortune of others. Now, resonating with the power of the "Blood Transformation Pill," it has unleashed a refining speed far exceeding expectations.

The warm medicinal power traveled along the meridians, and wherever it passed, the damaged muscles and bones made a faint "crackling" sound, as if they had been parched for a long time and then received sweet rain.

The deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest, which had originally been an eerie black, was gradually fading under the nourishment of the medicine.

New granulation tissue spread from the edge of the wound at a visible rate.

In just three days, it had healed most of the way, leaving only a shallow scar.

"What a powerful medicine!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Wei Henian's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by greed.

He could clearly feel that this "Blood Transformation Pill" was not only repairing his injuries, but also subtly transforming his physical body.

The meridians became wider, and the bones were stained with a faint blood color, as if they could withstand more violent spiritual energy impacts.

He didn't stop, swallowing two more "Blood Transformation Pills" and continuing to activate the "Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique" to direct the remaining medicinal power to his dantian.

His spiritual power, which had been weakened by his serious injuries, surged like a flame being ignited. The spiritual energy vortex in his dantian spun rapidly, and there were even faint signs that he was about to break through his current realm.

"As expected of the sacred medicine of the Blood Soul Sect, if I could get a few more bottles, how could I not break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Wei Henian licked his lips, his ambition growing ever stronger.

He took out the remaining "Blood Transformation Pills" from the wooden box and poured them all into his mouth without hesitation.

The ten pills dissolved simultaneously, and the immense medicinal power instantly filled his entire body, even causing his meridians to ache slightly due to its excessive force.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Wei Henian's expression changed, and he quickly adjusted the rhythm of his cultivation technique, pushing the "Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique" to its limit.

A thick layer of bloody light emanated from his body, within which countless phantoms struggled, seemingly the remnant souls of cultivators whose fortune he had plundered!
This is precisely the sinister aspect of the "Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique"—it can use the power of another's remnant soul to counteract the backlash of the medicine.

The black miasma inside the cave seemed to be drawn towards Wei Henian, converging and merging into the blood-red aura surrounding him.

These miasmas inherently contained malevolent power. When combined with the medicinal power of the "Blood Transformation Pill" and the evil technique of the "Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique," they formed an even more bizarre energy that continuously nourished his physical body and spiritual power.

Time passed little by little, and ten days had gone by in the blink of an eye.

For the past ten days, Wei Henian has been immersed in cultivation. He has absorbed most of the miasma in the cave, and the blood-red aura around him has become increasingly intense.

The scar on his chest had completely disappeared, and even the broken half of his leg had sprouted some bone and granulation tissue. His originally pale face had become rosy, and he looked even more energetic than before he was injured.

More importantly, the spiritual energy vortex in his dantian has stabilized at the peak of the seventh level of the Golden Core realm, just one step away from breaking through to a higher cultivation level.

"call……"

Twenty days later, Wei Henian suddenly opened his eyes, two beams of blood-red light flashed from his eyes, and the blood-red light around his body instantly subsided.

"Li Yunjing, you didn't expect this, did you?"

He stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt the surging spiritual energy within his body. A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Not only did you fail to kill me, but you also brought me closer to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

He walked to the depths of the cave, where a black stone mirror was placed!

This is a treasure he brought out from the secret realm, which can reflect the true state of a cultivator.

In the stone mirror, Wei Henian's figure stood tall and straight, his spiritual energy was refined, and there was no trace of serious injury left.

Even more strangely, there was a faint blood-red line flowing between his eyebrows, which was a sign that he had cultivated the "Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique" to a deeper level, indicating that his ability to plunder fortune had become even stronger.

"Next, it's time to practice the Blood Shadow Escape Technique."

Wei Henian took out the blood-red jade slip containing the demonic techniques and probed it with his divine sense.

The contents of the jade slip were obscure and difficult to understand, and the words exuded a sinister and eerie atmosphere.

The core of the Blood Shadow Escape Technique is to transform one's own spiritual power into a "blood shadow," using shadows or miasma to conceal one's form. In critical moments, one can even abandon part of the physical body and escape as a blood shadow, making it a top-tier demonic art for survival.

"What an excellent escape technique! With it, even if I am no match for Li Yunjing in the future, I can easily escape."

Wei Henian became more and more excited as he read, and immediately began to cultivate according to the records in the jade slip.

He transformed some of his magic power into crimson energy, attempting to blend it into the shadows of the cave.

At first, the crimson energy clashed with the shadows, and its location was even exposed because it was too conspicuous.

But with continuous attempts, Wei Henian gradually mastered the knack!
