My Wife Is The Leader Of A Demonic Cult

85  Chapter 85: No More Lin Mianhong in the World

Above the Yu State River, the exquisite pleasure boat drifted slowly across the water in the evening breeze.

In the Red House pleasure boat,

Li Yue sat in a chair, her delicate beauty and eyes like autumn water captivating the soul, her slender jade hands holding a teacup.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

At that moment, footsteps sounded from outside the curtain.

The curtain was then lifted, and a plain-looking old woman appeared before Li Yue.

"The seal in the Earth Veins will shatter the day after tomorrow," the old woman said in a deep voice.

Li Yue nodded, then asked, "Was that Sword Intent just now from the Evil Suppressing Sword?"

Sword Intent and Sword Skill are different; Skill gives one a sense of oppression. Although it's intangible, it can still make people feel a tangible pressure, but Intent is different.

Intent is like a delicate painting, with endless mysteries hidden inside. The true meaning is the enigma for one to comprehend and suddenly understand the essence of its Skill.

The old woman nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be that sword. The Evil Suppressing Sword was consecrated by the Human Emperor of Great Zhou, then used to suppress the sealing. This sword is a peerless famous sword, ranked third on the Famous Sword List by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

"This sword is also known as the Great Zhou Cloud Dragon, Ye Tai'e, Demon Sword, but most people only know it as the Evil Suppressing Sword."

Li Yue chuckled lightly and said, "It seems this sword has quite the history."

"You say quite? It's shockingly so," the old woman replied, shaking her head with a heavy tone. "Rumor has it that this sword incurred the jealousy of the heavens. Anyone who tries to subdue it faces heavenly retribution. Three Human Emperors perished because of this sword, and to date, it has yet to acknowledge a master."

"Seeing that it released that Sword Intent, the breaking of the seal is imminent."

Li Yue fell silent for a while, then said, "Liu Qingshan, Li Fuzhou, and that group of experts?"

"So far, only these two are known. It's uncertain if the monks Fa Zhi and Fa Wu from the Buddhist Sect will intervene, but I suspect other experts will take the opportunity to act," said the old woman, frowning.

"Originally, we thought we could directly obtain this strand of nature's spiritual energy when the seal broke. It seems all were vain hopes. No wonder the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion sold such important information so cheaply. It turns out that Liu Qingshan from the Demon Sect and the Cao Gang had already noticed the nature's spiritual energy beneath this seal..."

The Wind and Rain Tower learned about the spiritual energy beneath this seal through information bought at a great cost from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. It was one of the reasons why Li Yue was lying low in Yu State City, and another was to search for the lost Bodhi Bead.

However, it now seemed that the information bought from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion wasn't highly confidential.

Li Yue said indifferently, "As long as the information is true, I will obtain this spiritual energy no matter who comes for it."

The old woman heard this and her eyebrows slightly raised, "You must understand, practicing the Blood Spirit Technique means you are burning your Essence Blood. Now that your cultivation has reached the Earth Flower Realm, it shows you don't have long to live. If you continue using the Blood Spirit Technique in the struggle, you won't last two years..."

In the vast world of Jianghu, there are countless Martial Arts Heart Methods, among which there are some strange and mysterious ones, and the Blood Spirit Technique is one of them.

What truly made the Blood Spirit Technique notorious was several hundred years ago in the Nine Kingdoms. At that time, wars between kingdoms were rife, and naturally, Jianghu was also in chaos. Top experts from Jianghu colluded with the kingdoms, killing each other in an unrest not seen in a millennium, and numerous Sects emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain, including a Sect called the Blood Spirit Sect which appeared in the Jianghu of You Country.

At first, this Sect was so insignificant that it didn't stand out in the vastness of Jianghu. Even You Country itself knew little about it, but in the following three years, the Blood Spirit Sect rose at an astonishing speed, shocking all in the land.

At the time, the Sect Leader of Blood Spirit Sect, known as the Blood Spirit Son, used his formidable strength to continuously expand his territory and consolidate his base. He swept through the Jianghu of You Country, defeating all the top experts there.

In just two years, it became the premier Sect of You Country, with a momentum so swift that it even began to spread to other countries, astonishing everyone with its rate of expansion.

Apart from the strong power of Blood Spirit Son, the Sect Elders and disciples were also formidable. Even the ordinary disciples had mostly reached the Middle Third Grades of cultivation, with hardly any below the Lower Third Grades.

Suddenly, countless individuals flocked to join the Blood Spirit Sect, and even prodigies from other countries traveled to You Country to enter the Blood Spirit Sect and learn its Heart Method.

The Blood Spirit Sect, for a time, became the most eye-catching entity in the world.

It caught the attention of many great sects and prominent martial factions, including the overlord of the Jianghu in the Nine Kingdoms, Outer Heaven, and Zhenyi Sect, among others.

Generally, a sect would need to develop over hundreds of years to secure a foothold in the vast Jianghu, yet the Blood Spirit Sect had done so in just three years, how could this not draw the attention and the gaze of others?

If they continued to grow at such a speed, wouldn't the Jianghu of the Nine Kingdoms be unified by the Blood Spirit Sect?

At that time, the Zhenyi Sect and other forces such as the Unborn Sect united, and even Outer Heaven and the Zhenyi Sect temporarily put aside their grudges, all to uncover the secrets of the Blood Spirit Sect.

Many experts directly stormed the Blood Spirit Sect, demanding the secret of the Blood Spirit Technique from Blood Spirit Zi, and some even asked him to hand over the Blood Spirit Technique, which naturally Blood Spirit Zi would not divulge such critical secrets.

On that very night, countless experts poured into You Country, where the Blood Spirit Sect's headquarters turned into a battlefield of slaughter, and rivers of blood were shed.

The Blood Spirit Sect's Sect Master, Blood Spirit Zi, met his demise, his path to the Dao extinguished, and many of the sect's experts perished.

It wasn't until the Blood Spirit Sect was utterly annihilated, with only a few core disciples of the Blood Spirit Sect barely clinging to life, that one core disciple, in a desperate bid for survival, revealed to everyone the reason behind the Blood Spirit Sect's rapid development.

This was not far from what everyone had speculated; the Blood Spirit Sect was able to train so many experts in such a short time because of the Blood Spirit Technique.

The Blood Spirit Technique was a Xuanwu-level heart method, but its cultivation speed was faster than any martial arts heart method known, because the Blood Spirit Technique could foster a Blood Spirit in one's Dantian.

This Blood Spirit could absorb the human body's essence blood and then nourish the user in return, allowing for cultivation to grow exponentially in a short time.

Essence blood originates from the Innate Essence and is produced in the Acquired Water Valley; the formation of essence also depends on the body's internal energy, thus the saying "essence blood shares the same origin."

With essence blood being vastly consumed, the body needs a long time and large amounts of herbs, food, and supplements, and it also greatly diminishes one's lifespan.

The more essence blood the Blood Spirit absorbs, the more it can return to the user, resulting in even faster cultivation.

The experts of the Blood Spirit Sect would rapidly cultivate by continually burning their own essence blood to nourish the Blood Spirit within them.

This method not only required vast resources but also cost a great deal of lifespan. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Even if many experts had not attacked the Blood Spirit Sect, Blood Spirit Zi wouldn't have lived for many more years.

After the fall of the Blood Spirit Sect, the Blood Spirit Technique was burned by the Sect Leader of the Unborn Sect, to prevent another detrimental sect from arising in the Jianghu. Thus, the notorious Blood Spirit Technique completely vanished from the Jianghu.

However, at a moment unnoticed by all, the Sect Leader of the Unborn Sect did not actually burn the Blood Spirit Technique, but used a sleight-of-hand, carefully hiding it away, allowing the legendary Blood Spirit Technique to be passed on to future generations.

The Sect Leader of the Unborn Sect was a top expert with an exceedingly high reputation in Jianghu, an elder of the martial community, so none of the many experts present suspected him.

And it was this Blood Spirit Technique that Li Yue had been practicing.

"To live is but a grain in the ocean, to die is merely to turn to dust," Li Yue said indifferently, her eyes carrying a touch of casualness, elegance, and unruliness, "Do you think a person like me cares about life or death?"

"Mianhong, it seems now your heart is filled only with hatred," the old woman sighed.

It's a curious thing sometimes; when there's nothing left in this world for you, the very thing that can keep you going might be your enemy.

"Mianhong is already dead, Granny, please don't mention her again."

Li Yue stood up, her jade hand gracefully pulling aside the wooden curtain, and chuckled, "I wonder which handsome young master has come. Finding someone to relieve boredom wouldn't be too bad."

Saying so, she carefully adjusted her attire and walked out with graceful steps.
