Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: Blood Fiend Great Array
"Brother Ye..."
Xiao Jiannan’s gaze turned toward Ye Luo.
"I really want to see this Lingxu Grass for myself!"
A playful smile curled up at the corner of Ye Luo’s mouth as he dashed toward the cave, completely unfazed.
Walking into the cave, a unique scent wafted out from within.
Within minutes, Ye Luo saw other powerful individuals from various Hidden Sects who had entered.
At this moment, they were all gathered in a massive underground cavern, and the reason for their gathering was that there was no way forward and yet, there seemed to be nothing here.
"What’s going on? Wasn’t the Lingxu Grass supposed to be here? Why is there nothing?"
A ninth-level Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse scanned their surroundings with a puzzled look.
"Why do I feel that something’s not quite right? I can’t seem to use my Spiritual Sense in here!"
Another Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse said, frowning deeply.
"Master, be careful, there’s danger!"
Xiao Ling, the Lingyun Sword Artifact Spirit inside Ye Luo’s body, suddenly spoke up.
"Danger!"
Ye Luo’s pupils shrank, and he looked around with a vigilant expression.
"You have finally arrived!"
A cold, eerie voice, as if coming from Hell, followed. Then, beams of scarlet light shot out within the cave, and suddenly more than a dozen figures radiating an aura of bloodthirst appeared.
All of them were experts of the Spirit Sea Realm, each forming hand seals.
A terrifying, bloodthirsty aura pervaded the entire cavern, enveloping nearly a hundred Martial Artists, turning their complexions dramatically.
Then, five individuals in blood-red robes with white hair emerged, their bodies emitting a dense, murderous aura as if they had emerged from a sea of corpses and rivers of blood.
Moreover, all five were Controlling Qi Realm powerhouses, with strengths of at least the second level of the Controlling Qi Realm. Their eyes were cold and bloodthirsty, shimmering with a terrifying chill that made one’s heart tremble.
"You’re from the Blood Demon Sect!"
The Snow Palace Elder, upon noticing the five, his eyes hardened, emitting a serious light.
Blood Demon Palace!
Hearing this name, the formidable representatives of various Hidden Sects present showed shockingly surprised expressions, and their faces paled.
No one present was unaware of the name "Blood Demon Palace." It was one of the four famous Demonic Path powers in Huaxia, which had stirred up bloody storms and brutally killed countless Martial Artists in past years within Huaxia and the Hidden Sects.
These four major Demonic Path powers had fallen silent and out of sight for decades, and it was unexpected to encounter members of the Blood Demon Palace here, causing many to turn pale, their faces filled with fear.
After all, with the shadow of the tree comes the sound of the name, and the Blood Demon Palace’s bloodthirsty and cruel methods were enough to invoke an inexplicable sense of fear at the mere thought, let alone witnessing them in person.
Furthermore, the strength of these five Blood Demon Palace powerhouses was terrifying indeed, having reached the Controlling Qi Realm, and that was in addition to the more than a dozen Spirit Sea Realm Blood Demon Palace powerhouses surrounding them.
This situation made even some Hua Yuan Realm Martial Artists tremble inwardly, a hint of fear shining in their eyes, their faces going pale.
"What does the Blood Demon Palace want to do?"
Ye Luo furrowed his brows as he looked at the group from the Blood Demon Palace. He had encountered these people in Miaojiang before, where they had masqueraded as the Blood Wolf Organization to confront the Miao Tribe.
Ever since then, Ye Luo had not seen anyone from the Blood Demon Palace or the Blood Wolf Organization again. To his surprise, they’d reappeared today and created such a commotion right from the start.
"You sure care a lot about that Lingxu Grass, to make such a fuss, so many of you just jumped right in!"
The central figure among the five Blood Elders revealed a sinister smile, his eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.
"What do you mean?"
Hearing the words of the person from the Blood Demon Palace, all the powerful Martial Artists from the Hidden Sects present showed puzzled expressions in their eyes.
"You really don’t understand? The intelligence of you people is astonishingly low!"
At that moment, Ye Luo couldn’t help but curl his lip, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"What the hell are you babbling about?"
Si Wenxing saw Ye Luo and immediately huffed coldly, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam.
"There’s no Lingxu Grass in this cave at all. This whole thing was probably a setup by the people from the Blood Demon Palace, just to lure us here."
Ye Luo coldly spat out.
Hearing Ye Luo’s words, the expressions of the hundreds of Hidden Sect Martial Artists present drastically changed, their pupils constricting as they stared intently at the group from the Blood Demon Palace, their expressions filled with caution.
"Kid, you do have a fast brain, but unfortunately, it’s useless. We originally only wanted the essence blood of twenty Martial Artists at the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, but since all of you have come, you might as well all die here."
"Activate the Blood Shura Formation!"
Following the simultaneous command of the five Blood Elders, the dozen or so Blood Envoys around them quickly formed complex hand seals with their fingers, striking the cave walls directly.
"Blood Shura Formation—Rise!"
The five Blood Elders each blasted out a bloody seal, which along with the seals cast by the Spirit Sea Realm experts of the Blood Demon Palace, merged into one.
A massive blood-colored seal appeared above everyone’s heads; then, the Blood Demon Palace experts each shot a stream of their essence blood into the enormous blood-colored seal.
Boom!
The blood-colored seal erupted with a terrifying aura, immediately covering the area with a huge blood-colored barrier, engulfing all the hundreds of Hidden Sect Martial Artists in an instant.
What seemed like a lengthy process had happened in the blink of an eye, leaving all the Martial Artists with no time to react or escape.
"Not good!"
The Elder from the Snow Palace, who was in the Controlling Qi Realm, immediately changed color and forcefully struck the blood-colored barrier with all his might.
Bang!
A loud collision resounded as the Snow Palace Elder’s palm struck the blood-colored barrier and was rebounded, sending her staggering backward, but the blood-colored barrier remained intact.
"It’s useless. This Blood Shura Formation is created with our essence blood combined with the secret techniques of the Blood Demon Sect. Unless it is someone stronger than the seventh layer of the Controlling Qi Realm, it cannot be broken. Just wait for all your essence blood to be drained."
The previously speaking Blood Elder spoke again, his eyes flickering with a cold, bloodthirsty gleam.
Suddenly the blood-colored seal began to spin, a terrifying aura of blood evil crazily pouring out, sweeping towards the powerful Hidden Sect Martial Artists.
Very quickly, several Martial Artists at the Hua Yuan Realm had the blood evil invade their bodies, their eyes turning crimson and their bodies surging with blood light.
Then, a series of violent explosions rang out; those few Hua Yuan Realm Martial Artists burst apart, with splashes of their crimson blood scattering in all directions.
