The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

……

……

Half a month later, at the site of the Bloodstained Clothes Gate.

The once majestic mountain gate is now nothing but ruins.

A figure flickered across the night sky before settling at the highest point of Blood Fiend and the others.

This was also the former cave of the Red Demon.

The once bustling and lively Blood Robe Gate is now completely deserted.

And this figure was none other than Cui Yi, who had rushed back.

Cui Yi closed his eyes, took a deep breath of familiar air, and the scene of the night the Blood Robe Gate was destroyed involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

One by one, the elders whose names were unknown fell down, and one by one, the young faces disappeared.

Everyone knew they were no match for the enemy, yet they still fought bravely.

Cui Yi sighed heavily.

He didn't stay at the Blood-Clad Sect for very long, but the grief he felt as one living person after another died before his eyes was exceptionally clear.

Because there wasn't a single coward in the entire Blood-Clad Sect, from top to bottom, this place of shared hatred and hatred was something he should cherish.

"Teacher, Sect Leader, Elders, Fellow Disciples."

"Disciple has returned."

Cui Yi bowed slightly, clasped his hands in greeting, and bowed to the air in front of him. A gust of wind whistled past his ears, as if in response.

Suddenly, Cui Yi's brows twitched slightly.

anyone?

As soon as he had a thought, his mental power spread out like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire ruins and the nearby mountains and forests.

There were indeed people hiding here, and quite a lot of them!

They disguised themselves very well, concealing their aura so low that ordinary cultivators would not notice them at all.

Unfortunately, Cui Yi was no ordinary cultivator; under his mental power, nothing could escape his notice!

Although it is not yet clear which faction these people belong to, the only thing that is certain is that they are inextricably linked to the Seven Fiends Sect!

very good!

Since you're here, don't leave!

A murderous glint flashed in Cui Yi's eyes. Below the Golden Core Realm, they were as vulnerable as chickens and dogs in front of him!

Not to mention these spies, whose average cultivation level is around the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Killing them is like crushing ants!

With a flicker, Cui Yi vanished from the top of the ruins.

The mountains and forests on the east side.

Three spies from the Seven Fiends Sect were lying behind a boulder, peering through the cracks in the rock at the ruins.

"Did you see clearly? Is that the person?" the lead scout asked in a low voice.

"It's too far away, I can't see clearly."

The other person shook his head, "But that person stood on top of the ruins for so long, there must be something wrong with him."

"Should we go back and report this?"

"Wait a bit, look carefully before you speak—"

Before he finished speaking, a sword light descended from the sky!

The leader of the spies only felt a blur before his eyes, and the next instant his head was completely separated from his body.

Blood gushed out, splattering directly onto the other two!

The second man had barely uttered his scream when the sword light pierced his throat!

Unable to make a sound, he could only stare wide-eyed while clutching his neck.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't utter a single clear word. After making a few strange hoarse noises, he collapsed to the ground.

The third person reacted quickly. Seeing his two companions killed so swiftly, he realized that the enemy was beyond his ability to fight, so he turned and fled!

This person seems to have some skill in escaping, and is using all his strength to run wildly into the depths of the mountains and forests!

The figure behind followed at a leisurely pace, like a cat toying with a mouse.

"No...don't kill me..."

The scout finally discovered the difference between the two. Even though he used up all the true energy in his dantian, he still couldn't widen the gap!

How could he escape if he was being targeted by such a being?

Seeing that the other party had completely lost the will to escape, Cui Yi gradually slowed down his pursuit.

In the past, he would have killed the other party with a single sword strike.

However, during the chase, Cui Yi suddenly thought of a better way.

Xiao Yuli's task for him was to cause a huge disturbance, ideally attracting the attention of the entire Great Yan Dynasty and all the surrounding forces, large and small.

As a safeguard, Xiao Yuli would have the Prince of Zhenbei secretly protect her.

However, he lacks strong warriors, and the Prince of Zhenbei cannot stay with him forever, since the real power still lies with Xiao Yuli.

There are quite a few powerful figures hidden in the palace, and it's estimated that they won't be able to come over until the Prince of Zhenbei finishes dealing with things at the palace.

Therefore, before this, Cui Yi could only rely on himself.

Whether or not someone helps Cui Yi doesn't really care; with his current combat strength, holding back all sides shouldn't be a problem.

Furthermore, he still has the Floating Pagoda as a trump card; if he really can't win or is worn down to the point of not being able to recover, he can simply enter the pagoda.

Tower diving and killing is something that only happens in games; what he has is an ancient artifact!

Instead of eliminating all these spies, it would be better to give them a deterrent and have them carry messages back with them.

The fact that the Blood-Clad Sect had not been completely eradicated was a thorn in their side, and their own voluntary reappearance was bound to cause trouble.

Then he could simply go with the flow, challenge the three sects, and escalate the situation even further!

He's not afraid of being fought in a gauntlet, nor is he afraid of fighting one-on-one. What's wrong with taking on three sects single-handedly?

"I won't kill you, but you have to pass on a few words for me."

"Go back and tell your sect that I, Cui Yi, am here waiting for them. No matter how many people come, that's all that's coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Yi turned and left, while the scout lay sprawled on the ground, staring blankly at his retreating figure.

After a long while, he suddenly scrambled to his feet as if he had gone mad, and stumbled and ran wildly out of the forest.

At the same time, Cui Yi also destroyed several other locations where spies were hiding, and then followed suit.

Only one person was left to go back and report from each location; the rest, regardless of right or wrong, were all killed.

If you stay here, there is no such thing as innocence!

Whether it was because his methods were too bloody or for some other reason, the news spread faster than Cui Yi had expected.

The spies he released were like frightened rabbits, desperately fleeing back to their respective sects.

The news they brought back was like a boulder thrown into stagnant water, creating a huge uproar in the cultivation world of the Great Yan Dynasty.

"Cui Yi is back."

"He is at the site of the Bloodstained Clothes Gate."

"He asked me to pass on a message—he's waiting there."

In just three days, these words spread throughout the Seven Fiends Sect, the Profound Yin Sect, and the White Bone Demon Sect.

The news also spread to every small and medium-sized sect that had participated in the battle that destroyed the Blood Robe Sect.

Then it continued to spread outwards, eventually reaching the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty.

The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.

The emperor sat high on the dragon throne, holding a secret report in his hand, his face ashen.

Below, Song Ziwei stood with his head bowed respectfully.

"That remnant of the Blood-Clad Sect has resurfaced?"

The emperor's voice was unreadable, but those who knew him well knew that this calm often foreshadowed a greater storm.

"Yes."

Song Ziwei said respectfully, "According to reports, this person appeared at the former site of the Blood Robe Sect three days ago, killed several spies of the Demonic Sect on the spot, and told those sects to go find him."

"Is he going to provoke the three sects again?"

The emperor sneered, "This is courting death!"

Song Ziwei didn't speak, but he shook his head inwardly.

This kid always surprises people with his actions. This time, he took the initiative to show himself. I'm afraid he's up to something again.

"His Majesty."

Song Ziwei carefully considered his words before speaking, "This boy is indeed somewhat strange. He was able to kill a peak Golden Core cultivator when he was still in the Foundation Establishment stage. Now, several months have passed, and I'm afraid his strength has improved again."

"Even if the three sects faced him individually, they might not be able to guarantee a victory."

"Oh?"

The emperor raised an eyebrow. "You mean, he thinks he can turn the world upside down all by himself?"
