I'm in the world of cultivation, and I get a system for becoming a wealthy urban tycoon?

The air in the cell was cold and damp, and the few dying lamps on the stone wall emitted a dim and dim light, barely outlining the figures of the people inside.

The spiritual energy chains on the wrists of the Golden Core heretic cultivator occasionally emitted a very faint hum, which sounded particularly jarring in the silence.

Lu Yang ignored the shock on Qi Yunshu and the others' faces, looked at Wu Yueheng, and chuckled, "The Blood Demon Envoy of the Blood Demon Palace is 342 years old this year, at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, with a low-grade spiritual root..."

He paused, a hint of emotion creeping into his voice: "He really is a heretical cultivator."

Of all the people Lu Yang has encountered so far who have achieved the Golden Core stage with low-grade spiritual roots, only Guan Qiu is an example.

But what's the situation with Guan Qiu?

She is a genius in alchemy, a third-tier alchemist!

One can imagine the resources that an alchemist of this level can earn.

With such resources protecting him, Guan Qiu was able to break through to the Golden Core stage in his later years, and now he is only at the mid-Golden Core stage.

And what about Wu Yueheng?

He broke through to the Golden Core stage in middle age by simply consuming the blood essence and spiritual energy of other cultivators to refine blood pills and spirit pills.

It's easy to imagine how many lives this guy has taken.

There are probably tens of thousands of cultivators!

Lu Yang had just used the exploration function to inquire about Wu Yueheng's background, but not in detail about how many people he had killed.

Because that would consume a lot of spirit stones.

After all, this guy is a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Lu Yang has only done a simple investigation into Wu Yueheng's general situation and followed the clues to find out the forces behind him.

However, these few casual words were enough to strike Wu Yueheng like a thunderbolt.

His eyes widened, his thin, sallow face filled with disbelief.

In the dim light, his eyes were sunken, his lips trembled, and his hoarse voice carried a near-collapse of confusion and resentment: "Impossible... This is impossible! How did you know?"

He never intended to reveal the information!

But the white-robed youth in front of him only glanced at him and exposed all his secrets!

Even his origins from the Blood Demon Palace were revealed in a single sentence!

How did he manage to do that?

However, while Wu Yueheng was in shock, Qi Yunshu heard the words "Blood Demon Palace," and her pupils contracted, a look of undisguised fear appearing on her face.

He exclaimed in disbelief, "The Blood Demon Palace?! This is impossible! Why would it be the Blood Demon Palace??"

Lu Yang paused, glancing somewhat surprised at Qi Yunshu, whose expression was slightly stiff: "Sect Leader, is there a problem with this Blood Demon Palace?"

Lu Yang hadn't even had a chance to check the information about the Blood Demon Palace yet.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yunshu was the first to shout.

Moreover, judging from this, Qi Yunshu seems to know something about the Blood Demon Palace.

Qi Yunshu came to his senses, his face slightly pale, and murmured, "...I once saw the name of the Blood Demon Palace in the ruins of a secret realm by chance."

The three elders of the Enforcement Hall and Lu Yang looked at Qi Yunshu with some curiosity in their hearts.

For a Nascent Soul True Monarch to show such an expression, the origins of the Blood Demon Palace must be extraordinary.

Lu Yang chuckled and asked, "What kind of organization is this that has made you, the sect leader, look like this?"

Qi Yunshu paused for a moment, then gave a bitter smile and slowly began, "You all should have heard of the evil calamity of the Bloodthirsty Tide a million years ago, right? This Blood Demon Palace was the evil force that launched the Bloodthirsty Tide back then. I saw relevant records in the ruins of that secret realm back then. The Blood Demon Palace's cultivation technique, the 'Blood Demon Great Art,' was extremely powerful and bizarre, seizing the power of all living beings for its own use to create a Blood Demon body. It was a truly demonic technique! Back then, the Blood Demon Palace relied on the 'Blood Demon Great Art' to develop extremely rapidly, like a locust swarm sweeping across the land, devouring cultivators from one large continent after another. If it weren't for the three great immortal sects' desperate battle back then, the entire Eastern Region would probably have been turned into a desolate wasteland!"

Silence fell over the cell.

The few dying lamps flickered on the stone wall, emitting a faint hissing sound.

Upon hearing Qi Yunshu's explanation, Lu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, a serious expression appearing on his face.

He never expected that the Blood Demon Palace had such a powerful background!

Lu Yang was naturally aware of the bloodthirsty tide that occurred a million years ago, as it was recorded in many ancient texts.

However, detailed records of that bloodthirsty tide have long been erased and destroyed by the Immortal Sect Holy Land, leaving only a few lines in the existing ancient books.

Therefore, Lu Yang had never heard of the Blood Demon Palace before.

It turns out that this force was the instigator of that catastrophe back then.

Even Lu Yang found it somewhat troublesome, let alone the other three members of the Enforcement Hall.

The three of them turned pale, exchanged a glance, and their eyes showed fear.

One of them, his voice hoarse, murmured, "But...but wasn't the Blood Demon Palace destroyed back then? That was a power from millions of years ago; it should have disappeared into the annals of time long ago, shouldn't it?"

The other two Golden Core elders also nodded.

After all, a million years is an unimaginably long period of time, even for the cultivation world.

Even the most powerful force, once destroyed, should surely be buried by time over such a long period of time.

Qi Yunshu was also somewhat puzzled upon hearing this and looked at Lu Yang.

His tone became cautious as he asked, "Young Master Lu... are you sure it's the Blood Demon Palace?"

He didn't want to question Lu Yang, but the Blood Demon Palace was just too terrifying!

Moreover, the resurgence of a power from a million years ago was something even he found utterly unbelievable.

Lu Yang said with certainty, "I'm sure."

The results retrieved by the search module are naturally not fake.

Lu Yang continued using the search module, entering a command: "[Please check the Blood Demon Palace's detailed information, including its members, location, strength, and other aspects.]"

As soon as Lu Yang entered the information, a prompt message popped up on the panel.

[The Blood Demon Palace involves information from other planes; only information from this plane can be searched. Continue?]

When Lu Yang saw this message, he was taken aback and showed a look of surprise.

Other dimensions?

Lu Yang remembered that the search module seemed to be able to explore information about his current plane or a lower-level plane.

This Blood Demon Palace actually involves information from other planes?

Moreover... the fact that this plane's information cannot be found indicates that it is no less advanced than the Canglan Realm, and may even be more advanced.

He never expected that this Blood Demon Palace would involve situations in other planes.

This is outrageous.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable.

A force that swept across the entire Eastern Region a million years ago, forcing the three great immortal sects to fight desperately to barely extinguish it, is obviously not simple.

Without hesitation, he silently chose yes.

The next moment, the expenses appeared.

80 million low-grade spirit stones.

Lu Yang: "????"

What the hell……

Investigating the Blood Demon Palace requires a whopping eight billion low-grade spirit stones?!

So many low-grade spirit stones are enough to buy a very powerful spirit treasure!

It seems that there are more powerful figures and secrets involved behind the Blood Demon Palace than he imagined.

Lu Yang currently has a full 100 million mid-grade spirit stones and tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones.

He directly spent 80 million mid-grade spirit stones to complete the transaction.

The moment the transaction was completed, lines of dense text appeared on the panel.

The Blood Demon Palace: A heretical force established a million years ago by the Blood Demon Clan with the Blood Demon Great Art, it was wiped out by the combined forces of the three great immortal sects during the Bloodlust Tide. Seven hundred years ago, Zhou Mu, the current Blood Demon Palace Master, received the Blood Demon Palace's inheritance and secretly rebuilt it, recruiting desperate fugitives and low-level cultivators with no other options. Based on the Blood Demon Great Art, he secretly expanded his influence in the Eastern Region…

[Member]: Palace Master: Zhou Mu, Nascent Soul Perfection.

The four deputy hall masters are: Xiao Hong (late stage of Nascent Soul), Fang Jibai (late stage of Nascent Soul), Zhang Yinxuan (late stage of Nascent Soul), and Hua Yin (late stage of Nascent Soul).

The Twelve Blood Demon Lords: Shen Yue (Mid-Nascent Soul Stage), Yuan Xian (Mid-Nascent Soul Stage)...

Blood Demon Envoys: Zhuang Mu (Golden Core Perfection), Wen Xiu (Golden Core Perfection)...

[Headquarters and Branches]: The Blood Demon Palace has no fixed headquarters or branches. The Palace Master and the four Deputy Palace Masters are elusive and have no fixed residences. Each of the twelve Blood Demon Lords is responsible for contacting multiple Blood Demon Envoys. The four Deputy Palace Masters are in charge of the Blood Demon Lords. All Deputy Palace Masters and Blood Demon Lords are directly controlled by the Palace Master, Zhou Mu.

……

Lu Yang quickly scanned the information on the panel.

It must be said that this exploration feature is indeed quite good.

Although the cost of 80 million mid-grade spirit stones was a bit high, it clearly listed the Blood Demon Palace's organizational structure, member list, cultivation level, and even each person's physical characteristics and commonly used aliases.

From the Palace Master Zhou Mu to the lowest-ranking members of the Blood Demon Palace, no one was missed.

However, the Blood Demon Palace was weaker than he had imagined.

Even the most powerful Blood Demon Palace Master was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

Including the four deputy hall masters and the twelve blood demon lords, there are only seventeen Nascent Soul stage cultivators in total.

It's only slightly stronger than the top forces, far from reaching the level of immortal sects and holy lands.

However, the Blood Demon Palace must have learned from the lessons of a million years ago, and has been hiding in the shadows, slowly accumulating power, and has not yet come out into the open.

If it weren't for the fact that Wu Yueheng, the Blood Demon Envoy, was unexpectedly captured by Jiang Shiqing, and Lu Yang happened to have an exploration module that could find out the specific situation of the Blood Demon Palace, the Blood Demon Palace would have remained hidden in the shadows for many more years.

What truly concerned Lu Yang was the Blood Demon Clan.

According to the search module's description, it was the Blood Demon Clan who bestowed the "Blood Demon Great Art" millions of years ago and single-handedly supported the Blood Demon Palace.

This Blood Demon race is probably a race from another plane, right?

Races from other planes came to the Canglan Realm to spread demonic techniques, build forces, and harvest living beings, and even almost turned the Eastern Region into a dead land.

This race probably harbors ill intentions towards the Canglan Realm.
