"I didn't expect you to be able to comprehend sword intent at the Qi Refining stage. No wonder He Chongguang took you as his disciple."

He Jiushan spoke up.

"Eleventh Elder is Master's disciple, and you two are both from the Blood Spirit Sect?"

Even though he already had the answer in his heart, Su Changming still couldn't help but ask.

"You know the answer already, so you ask."

He Jiushan snorted coldly.

"Then... what about the sect leader...?"

Su Changming felt a bit thirsty.

"Hehe, without the sect leader's cover, we Blood Spirit Sect cultivators would have been exposed long ago."

He Jiushan smiled slightly.

"What exactly is the purpose of your Blood Spirit Sect? How many Blood Spirit Sect cultivators does the Flowing Cloud Sect have?"

Su Changming took a deep breath and asked again.

"To find out the answers to these questions, it's simple: just become a cultivator of the Blood Spirit Sect."

He Jiushan said with a smile.

"I belong to a reputable and righteous sect. I have learned the orthodox methods of the Xuanmen since childhood and will never fall into the demonic path."

Su Changming said loudly.

Of course, if things are beyond his control and he has to choose between life and death, he can become a cultivator of the Blood Spirit Sect.

But the Liuyun Sect is powerful right now, and there are mostly righteous cultivators around him, so why should he cultivate the demonic path?

Moreover, the situation is far from dire.

"A prestigious and righteous sect? Your master is a true disciple of our Blood Spirit Sect. Do you really think you are a prestigious and righteous sect?"

Did you ever consider that some of the techniques he taught you might contain hidden tricks?

"Don't let one day you meditate and suddenly find that your spiritual energy has turned into blood spiritual energy, becoming He Chongguang's blood core!"

He Jiushan laughed heartily.

"Heh... Every spell my master taught me was a legitimate and righteous method, without a trace of demonic influence. If you can plant people in the Flowing Cloud Sect, why can't the Flowing Cloud Sect do the same? What if they become true disciples of your Blood Spirit Sect, which was originally part of the Flowing Cloud Sect's plan?"

Su Changming smiled and asked in return.

"..."

Upon hearing this, He Jiushan's face immediately turned ugly.

Recalling her experiences with her adopted older brother.

His first half of life was unremarkable, but one day his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he became the personal disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect's patriarch. In the Blood Spirit Sect, he was second only to the patriarch and above thousands of others, making him envious and sleepless for countless nights.

If he was sent by the Flowing Cloud Sect, then it makes sense...

Wait a minute! If he had a problem, how could the Blood Spirit Sect's patriarch have been completely unaware of it, and even accepted him as a disciple?

"What a sharp-tongued fellow! I know better than you whose side he's on! Once I've destroyed all your spiritual energy and transformed it into blood spiritual energy, I'll bring you before He Chongguang, and then you'll know whether he'll put aside his own family for the greater good or tell you the truth."

He Jiushan said sternly.

"Very well, I will then kill you and bring you to the Flowing Cloud Sect, so that everyone in the Flowing Cloud Sect will know that the Blood Spirit Sect has been lurking in the sect for a long time!"

Su Changming also spoke sternly.

Upon seeing a Qi Refining cultivator spouting such arrogant words, He Jiushan could no longer restrain himself and immediately took action.

"The spirit of Great Harmony!"

He Jiushan suddenly shouted, and a gust of wind suddenly rose up.

Sand and stones flew up all around instantly.

The wind was so strong that even giant trees were uprooted and sent flying.

In just a short while, the land was completely bare, the soil having been plowed several times.

This is the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

A single spell can alter the surrounding environment.

"Body-refining techniques?!"

However, in this area, there still stood a nearly naked man.

It was none other than Su Changming.

"I never expected that the Eleventh Elder, as a disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect, would have such a profound understanding of the Great Harmony Wind of the Flowing Cloud Sect."

After putting on a set of clothes, Su Changming spoke slowly and deliberately.

He Jiushan did not make a move either.

After all, it would be somewhat uncivilized to attack a cultivator who is almost completely naked.

"This is the profoundness of blood spiritual energy. It allows you to use your righteous cultivation techniques and also cultivate blood techniques, but it is of no benefit to you spiritual cultivators to obtain our blood cultivation techniques."

"If we kill you, your flesh and blood can be used to refine pills, your bones can be used to forge weapons, and your spiritual energy can be transformed into cultivation. But if you kill us blood cultivators, you gain nothing."

He Jiushan laughed heartily.

He was telling the truth: there are quite a few blood cultivators in the cultivation world, but they have never been completely eradicated.

One reason is that the Blood Sea Ancestor spread the Blood Cultivation lineage throughout the five regions of heaven and earth, and even overseas.

This is why blood cultivators can be killed repeatedly without ever being eradicated.

Another reason is that killing a blood cultivator doesn't bring any benefit.

Their magical artifacts all require blood spiritual power to activate, and there aren't many things that spiritual cultivators can use in their storage bags.

There's no benefit in killing, so naturally few people will uphold justice.

"However, using blood spiritual energy to activate the righteous method reduces its power by 30% out of thin air; otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here intact right now."

Su Changming spoke up.

The Great Harmony Wind is a spell that only Foundation Establishment cultivators can practice.

Its power is several times that of Xiao Tongfeng.

Once activated, the Lesser Completion Realm can cause sand and stones to fly, the Greater Completion Realm can blow away trees, and the Perfection Realm can destroy mountains.

The opponent's Great Harmony Wind had undoubtedly reached its peak, yet it did not cause him, a Qi Refining cultivator, much harm.

Firstly, because he possessed body-refining cultivation; secondly, because the opponent used blood spiritual power to unleash its power, which was weakened.

"Very well, there's no one else here. I'll let you, junior, experience the Blood Spirit Sect's magic! Blood Light Technique!"

Seeing that Su Changming's tone was indifferent, as if his magic was not worth mentioning, He Jiushan finally became truly angry.

At this moment, even the Blood Spirit Sect's techniques were used.

With a wave of his hand, He Jiushan sent three blood-red beams of light soaring off the ground and slashing toward Su Changming.

The crimson light gave Su Changming a very unsettling sense of threat, as if being struck by it would surely mean certain death.

Su Changming immediately activated his Cloud Mist Body technique, and at the same time, without stopping, he unleashed the second move of the Sword Sky Technique, Rainbow Severing. The two crimson rays of light collided and exploded instantly.

Su Changming also used this force to fly away in an instant.

Only two streaks of blood-red light flew away.

Then Su Changming turned around and lured in front of He Jiushan.

"snort!"

He Jiushan clapped his hands suddenly, and several blood-red chains suddenly appeared on the ground.

It was locked towards Su Changming.

Seeing this, Su Changming had no choice but to stop and slash the crimson chains with his sword.

"Your swordsmanship is good enough to counter my blood magic, but unfortunately you are too weak. The corrosion of blood spirit energy alone is enough to take your life."

He Jiushan spoke up.

Blood spiritual energy is extremely corrosive. When spiritual cultivators fight against blood cultivators, if a spiritual cultivator's cultivation level is slightly weaker, their spiritual energy will be easily corroded by the blood spiritual energy.

He Jiushan was quite surprised that Su Changming had been able to hold on for so long.

"Indeed, we can't delay any longer!"

Su Changming unleashed several more streaks of rainbow light.

"It's no use. Foundation Establishment cultivators have divine sense. Although your sword is fast, I only need to hold my ground to defend myself easily."

He Jiushan said calmly.

No matter how fast Su Changming's sword is, it is impossible for it to cross thirty feet in an instant and reach him. In the meantime, it will be blocked by the Blood Spirit Chains.

"So, can you withstand this move? Sword Soaring Technique, Third Form! Crimson Sky!"

Su Changming raised his longsword high, and instantly, the crimson color of his red beard seemed to be ignited, and a strange phenomenon like a blazing sun appeared. As Su Changming swung his sword, He Jiushan felt as if he were enveloped by an endless crimson light.

Is this really that terrifying? Is this truly a technique that a Qi Refining cultivator could unleash?!

You'll die! If you get hit! You'll die!

In an instant, He Jiushan activated the Blood Light Technique and released all the Blood Spirit Chains, attempting to slow down the sword light by a fraction.

Just a sliver, just a sliver, and I can unleash my magic to escape!

As he expected, the sword light was slowed down slightly by his Blood Spirit Technique.

But just as he took a step, the sound of swords clashing suddenly rang out around him.

Several transparent sword energies suddenly appeared around him, piercing him through. Although not fatal, they made it difficult for him to move.

So he could only stare in horror at the crimson scene before him.

"The fourth move of the Heavenly River Sword, the Nine-Bend Yellow Springs Sword..."

Su Changming lowered his eyes and said calmly.

Then, a crimson radiance that swept across the heavens and earth flashed by, splitting everything around it in two.
