Elder Blood River’s eyes were full of killing intent. He didn’t know if the person who had cast the Great Grudge Curse on him this time was the same as the last time.
This was already the second time. There might very well be a third, fourth, and fifth time.
Although this curse could not injure him and he would at most lose some blood essence, as a fearsome demonic Nascent Soul ancestor, how could he endure this kind of humiliation and frustration?
The fact that the other party could withstand the Great Grudge Curse and still continue to curse him meant that he was not an ordinary person.
On the other hand, the Blood supreme-ruler Sect’s blood body had the undying attribute and could withstand the price of a backlash.
His several disciples were capable and had motives.
Therefore, he suspected that his disciples were cursing him, so he sent the bat demon to investigate.
On the other side, the bat demon appeared outside Zhang Chen’s cave abode. Since it could be raised by Elder Blood River, it was naturally not an ordinary demon beast, but a rare exotic beast.
Each exotic beast had special abilities. Besides being able to suck blood to increase its cultivation, it could also emit a special kind of sound wave.
This sound wave could be used to attack or investigate, and could ignore terrain and most formations.
Except for bats, other creatures could not hear the sound waves it emitted, even those in the Golden Core stage could not detect it. It was silent and very concealed.
Three hundred feet away from Zhang Chen’s cave, the bat demon revealed its true form, opened its mouth, and activated its innate power.
Ripples invisible to the naked eye constantly spread from its mouth full of sharp teeth.
Everything that the ripples touched would be reflected in its mind.
Trees, soil, rocks..
When the ripples entered Zhang Chen’s cave and sensed the blood pools and the blood seeds inside, the bat demon was stunned and showed a surprised expression.
“You’re really biting off more than you can chew.” The bat demon sneered and continued to observe Zhang Chen with its innate ability.
Inside the cave, Zhang Chen was completely unaware of the ripples and was still refining the demon blood.
After observing for 15 minutes and not finding any other problems, the bat demon put away its innate ability, turned around, and flew in the other direction.
“Clap, clap, clap…’
Half a day later, the bat demon returned to Blood River Peak and transformed into a human. He bowed respectfully and said, “Master, Ah Bat has returned.”
Elder Blood River narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, “What are my disciples doing?”
The bat demon introduced them one by one, “Second disciple Dong Fengzhen is practicing dual cultivation with someone, Fourth disciple Xu Zhenling is handling matters in the beast park, Fifth disciple Zhou Xuewu is out and has not returned, Sixth disciple Du Nanfeng and Seventh disciple Zhang Chen are cultivating in seclusion in the cave.”
Elder Blood River thought for a moment and asked, “Did you notice anything unusual?”
The bat demon shook his head, “Nothing unusual, but I found out that Zhang Chen is using demon blood to incubate blood seeds, and there are thousands of them.”
“Thousands?” Elder Blood River was surprised to hear this.
It takes one bowl of blood essence to condense a blood seed, so thousands of blood seeds would require thousands of bowls of blood essence.
In Elder Blood River’s opinion, the Blood supreme-ruler Sons at the first level of Qi Refinement, were useless. It was better to use this blood essence to improve his cultivation.
Even if he deliberately did not improve his cultivation to delay the formation of the Golden Core, he could gather his blood essence and elevate some Blood supreme-ruler Sons to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.
However, Elder Blood River was also overthinking it. No matter how many Blood supreme-ruler Sons Zhang Chen cultivated, they would eventually become his.
The suspicions of the other disciples were ruled out, leaving only the fifth disciple who had not returned.
“Why did Zhou Xuewu go out? How long has he been away from the sect?”
“Master, Zhou Xuewu took on a sect mission and has been gone for three months.”
“Three months?” Elder Blood River murmured softly, his eyes flickering with blood light.
The bat demon trembled, knowing that this was Elder Blood River’s expression of murderous intent.
A moment later, the Blood River Elder instructed, “Leave the sect and go to the market to investigate who bought the Great Grudge Curse Technique and nine kinds of hundred-year grudges.”
“Yes.” The bat demon bowed and left.
“Zhou Xuewu, was it you who cursed me?” The gloomy voice of Elder Blood River echoed in the cave.
With the bat demon’s ability and background, it was naturally very simple to inquire about things.
In just a month, he found out that someone had bought the Great Grudge Curse Technique in the market at the bottom of the White Bone Hall.
At this moment, Elder Blood River was cursed by the Great Grudge Curse Technique again.
Pus flowed, blood flowed, limbs fell, five senses were stripped, and all kinds of curses followed.
“Who is it? Who is it? I’m going to kill you!
“No! I want to torture you and make you die a horrible death!”
Elder Blood River continued to roar and howl like a raging ghost.
But this was just the beginning. Every month thereafter, he would be cursed.
Six months later, the bat demon returned to the Blood supreme-ruler Sect.
“Ah Bat greets Master.”
“Did you find out anything?” Elder Blood River’s voice was low and extremely oppressive.
The bat demon clearly felt that Elder Blood River’s killing intent was several times stronger than it was six months ago.
“More than a year ago, a mysterious itinerant cultivator bought a few demonic cultivation techniques, including the Great Grudge Curse Technique, in the market of the White Bone Hall.
Several demonic cultivators tried to rob the itinerant cultivator but none of them returned. They were most likely dead…
Then, the bat demon began to describe Zhang Chen’s appearance at the time.
Elder Blood River frowned. He had no impression of Zhang Chen’s transformation of appearance.
However, there were many spells that could change one’s appearance. It was very likely that it was not their true appearance.
These pieces of information did not satisfy Elder Blood River: “Is there more?”
The bat demon swallowed saliva and said, “No one in the nearby demonic sect markets bought hundred-year grudges, so I wondered if they went to the orthodox sect markets.
“So I quietly sneaked into the Silver Moon Sect’s territory and learned that a year ago, a disciple of the Silver Moon Sect bought nine kinds of hundred-year grudges, which happened to be able to cast the Great Grudge Curse Technique.”
“It’s actually a disciple of the Silver Moon Clan? Are you sure?” Elder Blood River was surprised.
Timing-wise, it was very fitting. He was first cursed a year ago, but he never thought it would be someone from the Silver Moon Sect.
With the moral character of the orthodox sects, they would not allow disciples to use demonic techniques.
“The stall owner who traded with him said that he exuded the unique Silver
Moon Sect’s chilling aura and that someone saw him talking to four Silver Moon disciples who were at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.” Elder Blood River fell into contemplation at the bat demon’s words.
Why did a disciple of the Silver Moon Sect cast the Great Grudge Curse on him, and why was it done every month?
Furthermore, the Silver Moon Sect’s cultivation technique did not have the undying attribute, so it should not be able to withstand the backlash.
“Could this be the Silver Moon Sect’s retaliation against our sect? But it was Black Blood who raided their disciples. If they wanted revenge, they should have taken revenge on Black Blood!”
Elder Blood River was filled with doubts and puzzles, but from the information currently available, the curse was related to the Silver Moon Sect.
What conspiracy was hidden within this?
Was it related to the counterattack against the Blood supreme-ruler Sect?
Elder Blood River couldn’t understand, and it made him somewhat restless. The bat demon stood in place, bowing its head, feeling tormented, and not daring to make any movements..
