Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 268 Immortal Seed: Who Dares to Kill My Disciple?

A gigantic blood-red lotus unfolded within the underground palace, causing even the Er family and others to feel their hearts tremble and their eyes to dazzle.

Especially when they saw the considerable number of blood lotus seeds, the crowd was filled with anticipation and even fantasies.

Some of the immortals who had initially held no expectations secretly muttered to themselves, "Excellent! There are so many treasures here. Perhaps we can take advantage of the chaos and grab one before leaving!"

But the next moment.

A hoarse, sharp laugh suddenly rang out from within Er's ranks:
"Indeed, indeed, this place truly requires the blood and flesh of immortals as a sacrifice before it can reveal itself."

"It wasn't in vain that I went out of my way to share the news of the treasures here and invite you all here."

Upon hearing this, the other immortals froze, their joy vanishing.

"What does that mean? Damn it, is this place a trap set by those guys from the Five Stomach Temple?"

"Hmph! This guy from the Five Stomach Temple has quite the nerve! Does he really think men are made of clay?"

The people present forcibly shifted their gaze away from the blood lotus seeds and instead looked warily at the Er family members.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful aura rose from the cloaked figure of the Er family, immediately causing everyone, including Fang Shu, to look horrified.

The reason why he did not break through to the Foundation Establishment stage was because his aura was extremely close to that of the Foundation Establishment stage, or rather, he deliberately suppressed his aura so as not to attract the attention of the secret realm.

The cloaked figure in the center of the Er family group gently waved his sleeve:
“Kill them all, so they can be fertilizer for my family.”

"Yes, Ancestor!"

Shouts and cries rang out from the mouths of everyone in your family.

Immediately, the beautiful woman from the Naer family, Erdaiyang, Erdaiyuan, and others all took action and began to clean up the underground palace.

When these members of the Er family left the stone pillar, there was something unusual about the blood water below, but for some reason, it did not surge up to kill the Er family members.

In this way, the Er family members caught the other immortals off guard, and the cloaked man's domineering presence further intimidated everyone.

In just a few breaths, the number of immortals, which was already only twenty or thirty, was reduced by another third.

One person after another kept shouting, "Stop! I'm hungry too!"

"Foundation Establishment! This person is a Foundation Establishment Immortal!"

"So what if you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage? Since you dared to suppress your cultivation to enter this place, you can be killed! Don't be afraid, everyone, let's join forces."

The situation at the scene was chaotic.

Among them, the patriarch of the Nar family heard the audacious words spoken by someone in the crowd, who said with great interest:
"Oh, it seems this young friend looks down on me."

The person himself took action, pointing a finger from a distance, and a beam of spiritual light quickly flew out and landed on the immortal who exclaimed, "Even Foundation Establishment cultivators can be killed."

Even if the other party reacted in time, and had a near-Foundation Establishment level talisman on their person, and their qi was pure, they could be considered a Foundation Establishment seed.

But with a single crack, the man's skull was smashed open, exploding like a firework.

Its headless body swayed and fell helplessly into the blood, making the blood lotus in the underground palace even more vibrant.

This situation caused the remaining deities to tremble and begin to beg for their lives:
"Grandmaster, spare me! Grandmaster, spare me! I am willing to obey your orders."

The patriarch of the Ke'er family had ordered that no one be spared, and that it would be useless for them to beg for their lives.

Instead of waiting for their chance to beg for mercy, Erjia, who was practicing Qi cultivation, seized the opportunity to deliver a severe blow to them.

A series of screams rang out again!
As for Fang Shu, even though he was in the outermost part of the underground palace, he only managed to avoid the trouble of the first batch of people before he also fell into the Er family's target group.

After several maneuvers, he saw several immortals who seemed to be at the Foundation Establishment stage being easily surrounded and killed, and his mind became more tense than ever before.

With a sudden thought, Fang Shu exclaimed, "Greetings to your ancestor! I am a descendant of your immortal lineage!"

He suddenly remembered his past entanglements with the Er family, and now he shouted it out, revealing his identity.

Fang Shu wasn't just shouting in desperation; he noticed that Pei Zhongshan was standing calmly among the Er family's crowd, even chatting and laughing with Er Daiyang, who had stepped down to rest beside him.

Fang Shu's shout immediately attracted the attention of many members of the Er family.

Erdaiyuan was the first to look over, her eyes showing surprise. But she didn't think much of it and immediately abandoned the foreign immortal in front of her, rushing to Fang Shu's side, whether to negotiate or fight was unknown.

Seeing Er Daiyuan step forward, the other members of the Er family also restrained their actions, no longer targeting Fang Shu, but instead dealing with the others first.

Upon seeing each other, Er Daiyuan immediately transmitted her thoughts to Fang Shu, asking, "Fellow Daoist Fang, what brings you here?!"

Fang Shu felt a slight sense of relief upon seeing the malicious pause all around him.

He pondered for a moment, then transmitted his voice bitterly: "I heard there are treasures here that can enhance one's spiritual roots, so I naturally came to join in the fun and see if I was fortunate enough to have them. But alas, your noble family has sent an ancestor to help..."

Upon hearing this, Er Daiyuan sighed softly. She didn't say anything more, but simply nodded to Fang Shu and didn't leave.

Judging from this woman's appearance, she seems to be planning to save her life.

at the same time.

Apart from a few scattered immortals still putting up a stubborn resistance, all the other immortals in the underground palace had either been killed or forced into the bloody water. Amidst the screams, the blood lotus in the very center became even more crimson.

Once most of the bystanders had been cleared out, the Er family members had some free time. They were all as if they were in their own Er Valley, their faces relaxed, chatting and laughing, completely unlike those who were exploring for treasure in a secret realm.

Among them, the beautiful woman from the Nar family patted the pouch at her waist and released one figure after another, which occupied the stone pillars in the underground palace.

In an instant, the number of people in the underground palace returned to over a hundred.

Fang Shu looked up and found that the released figures were both male and female, and apart from the Qi Refining Immortals who had undergone one or two tribulations, there were also quite a few Spirit Refining Immortals.

As the beautiful woman from the Er family put the people down, she said, "Follow the ancestor's instructions so that you can all come out and get some fresh air and enjoy some good fortune, so as to improve your aptitude and spiritual roots. Be careful later."

"Greetings, Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, and having breathed in the pure spiritual energy within the underground palace, the members of the Er family were all excited and hurriedly bowed to the Er family patriarch in the very center.

After a lot of work.

The last remaining immortal who put up a stubborn resistance was also defeated by several members of the Er family and fell into the bloody water, whereupon he fell silent.

Fang Shu stared intently at the scene, feeling that the Er family members were indeed ruthless.

And he immediately thought of the rumors circulating in the temple.

"I heard that your family's ancestor obtained an opportunity during the great battle between the two sects, which not only allowed him to break through his cultivation level but also extended his lifespan and gave him a new lease on life."

He thought to himself, "Could it be that your ancestor entered this Blood Lake in the secret realm, or obtained the precious medicine within the Blood Lake, which extended his lifespan?" If so, the old man's arrangements were truly quite painstaking.

The person first spread rumors to lure people in, using them as consumables, and then suppressed their cultivation to personally enter the secret realm.

Thinking of this, Fang Shu lowered his gaze, his thoughts swirling.

If your ancestor could achieve this, his ambitions must be immense.

In other words, the possibility that there is a treasure here that can improve one's spiritual roots and repair one's physical body is already a certainty!
Fang Shu's breathing became slightly heavy, and his eyes changed color.

The current brutal scene, while startling, did not reach the point of causing him to tremble with fear.

It should be noted that Fang Shu now possesses not only ninety-six true qi, but also a considerable number of quasi-Foundation and Foundation Establishment level trump cards. Even after personally fighting with the Naer family patriarch, he was not without the power to fight back.

On the contrary, since the other party has brought so many clansmen here, if they want to promote them, they should at least be considerate, lest the Er family members who have worked so hard to bring in be caught in the crossfire.

Fang Shu could use this to make the other party hesitant to act, or even to blackmail them.

"However, unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to confront this old man from the Er family head-on," he thought to himself, forcibly suppressing his inner thoughts.

Just then, a soft laugh rang out in the room:
"Oh, isn't this Fellow Daoist Fang Shu, who severed ties with my Er family back then?"

With the surrounding bystanders cleared away, Erdaiyang and her daughter's gazes naturally fell on Fang Shu.

Among them, Erdaiyang glanced at Erdaiyuan and said with a smile, "Sister Daiyuan, are you going to protect this heartless and unfaithful man today? If you ask me, this man is far inferior to Pei Lang. I hope you will open your eyes wide."

Upon hearing this, Er Daiyuan's eyebrows furrowed immediately, and her expression turned cold, as if she were about to teach him a lesson.

However, upon seeing the Er family patriarch in the center of the crowd, Er Daiyuan suppressed the coldness in her heart and instead sneered:

"The Pei Lang that Sister Dai Yang speaks of, back then he treated our family like trash. Is that really true?"

Seeing that the two women were about to argue, before the beautiful lady of the Er family could step in to smooth things over, Pei Zhongshan quickly bowed to Fang Shu and Er Daiyuan.

With an apologetic smile, the young man said gently, "You two are sisters from the same family. How can you let our immortal seed matter cause a rift in your relationship?"

He shook his head vigorously, saying, "It's not worth it, it's not worth it..."

After easing the tension, Pei Zhongshan solemnly bowed to the Er family patriarch in the center of the crowd:

"Everyone, we are fortunate enough to enter this treasure land of the Blood Lake. We should prioritize the matter of our ancestor!"

These words successfully overwhelmed Erdaiyang and Erdaiyuan, silencing both women.

Upon hearing the words of the younger generation, the patriarch of the Er family suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Tsk, Pei family lad, your insight is quite good."

Upon hearing this, Nardaiyang and Pei Zhongshan exchanged a glance.

The former felt a slight joy in his heart, while the latter smiled even more broadly.

It turns out that the reason why Erdaiyang dared to argue with Erdaiyuan again was because the Er family patriarch was here.

Seeing that the Er family had already seized the treasure and was about to divide it up, she dared to speak out to prevent her own Pei Lang from being overshadowed by Fang Shu and to attract the attention of the ancestor.

Erdai Yang thought to himself with delight, "This sudden appearance of Fang Shu is a good opportunity to reduce Erdai Yuan's impression on the old ancestor."

Pei Zhongshan, seizing the opportunity, immediately bowed deeply to the patriarch of the Naer family:

"Thank you for your praise, Ancestor. Zhongshan only knows that Ancestor's affairs are our affairs as well."

"Excellent!" Another exclamation of praise rang out from the audience.

But what followed immediately was a snapping sound that rang out for no apparent reason.

A shower of blood followed, flying across the stone pillar where Pei Zhongshan was standing and landing on many people.

The sheep closest to the sound was splattered with blood, and her face was stinging from small pieces of bone.

This commotion immediately silenced the slightly agitated scene.

Because the cracking sound just now was from Pei Zhongshan's body suddenly exploding.

Moreover, he suffered an even more tragic fate than the previous immortals. Because he was not on guard, he was completely ambushed by the patriarch of the Er family and was instantly reduced to ashes!
Ahhh!!
Several breaths later, a piercing scream rang out from the scene.

Erdaiyang stared in disbelief at Pei Zhongshan, who was now nothing but a pool of blood. She had no idea what had happened.

Leaving aside this woman, even bystanders like Erdaiyuan and Fang Shu were astonished.

"This person just died like that?" Fang Shu was still in a daze.

Pei Zhongshan is a descendant of an Earth Immortal, has made numerous military achievements, and is determined to establish his foundation. His reputation in the temple is much higher than Fang Shu's, and he can be considered the "number one" among his peers in the inner sect.

As a result, he died without any explanation.

In the silence, the patriarch of the Naer family spoke calmly:
"Since he is a talented and promising individual, he should contribute to the great cause of our clan."

Seeing that everyone was still stunned, the patriarch of the Er family said unhappily:
"What are you all standing there for? Didn't I give the order? Anyone who is not of our bloodline should be killed to nourish the Blood Lotus."

These words finally made the Qi Refiners of the Er family at the scene realize what was happening.

That's right. Although the immortal seed is related to your family, he is still an outsider.

Then two more screams rang out from the crowd.

It was the other two people who had come with the Er family, the immortal seed and the Er family son-in-law, who were surrounded and killed, and suddenly died tragically at the scene.

Fang Shu, standing to the side, naturally attracted the attention of the Er family members, especially Er Daiyuan.

This woman rarely showed such a blank expression; she was staring blankly at Fang Shu, visibly at a loss.

However, the Er family beauties and others behind Er Daiyuan all had clear expressions, especially Er Daiyang. After recovering from her shock, she immediately turned her face into a distorted expression, staring at Fang Shu with hatred, wanting to kill him.

Faced with this situation, Fang Shu could only sigh inwardly, realizing the situation was dire.

He was about to take out his Foundation Building Drum and fight the old ancestor of the Naer family head-on, and also take a few members of the Naer family hostage, so that the old man would know the power of the younger generation!
But at that moment, a cold laugh suddenly echoed through the underground palace:

"Who dares to kill my disciple?!"

Hiss!

Along with this, the sound of snakes and insects flicking their tongues reached everyone's ears, sending chills down their spines and filling them with astonishment and suspicion.

Even the usually composed and confident patriarch of the Er family suddenly turned to the side, staring intently in the direction from which the cold laughter came.
