Blood Fiend Sect fed on human blood and souls.
Chen Li murmured to himself, a chill creeping from his feet to the top of his head. He couldn't help but recall the ferocious Light and Shadow depicted by Ye Lingyun, a wave of coldness and unease rising within him. His mother had been taken by the Blood Fiend Sect; what were they planning to do?
Shen Qingyue furrowed her delicate brows, her small face pale. Although she was the reincarnation of the Celestial Empress, she was still just a little girl. Faced with the reality of their mother being captured by the Blood Fiend Sect, she felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness. Her small hand, which hung limply at her side, was icy cold, and her expression was more serious than ever.
The demon clan was brutal, but the Blood Fiend Sect seemed even more inhumane. She couldn't help but worry about Shen Wanzhou. Her biological mother, the one who had always been so gentle with them. No matter what, she couldn't allow their mother to be devoured of her soul and flesh.
Elder Ku, do you know where the remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect are hiding? Chen Li grasped his sister's cold hand, giving her a reassuring look. He turned to Elder Ku, his eyes filled with urgency: Yes, Elder Ku, even if they have escaped, there must be some general direction, right?
Elder Ku shook his head, his expression somber: The Blood Fiend Sect has been destroyed for a long time; their remaining forces are hidden very deeply. For so long, there has been little news of them in the entire cultivation world.
Chen Li's heart sank, a wave of helplessness washing over him. Were they really going to let these fiends roam free? Allowing their mother to be drained of her flesh and soul? No! He couldn't bear it and would never allow it!
Elder Ku, is there truly no one who knows their whereabouts? Chen Li pressed on stubbornly.
After a moment of contemplation, a flicker of hesitation crossed Elder Ku's aged face.
Chen Li, Xiao Yue'er, even if you find the remnants, what can you do? You are still in your growth phase; seeking them out now would only lead to your demise.
Chen Li quickly caught the essence of Elder Ku's words.
Elder Ku, do you have a way to locate the remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect?
"Tell us quickly! I promise, we are not fully prepared and definitely won't save my mother!"
Elder Ku sighed, nodding with a hint of helplessness. "Although I don't know where the remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect are, there is someone who must know."
With that, his gaze turned towards Spirit Sword Mountain.
"Who?" Chen Li and Shen Qingyue asked in unison.
A flicker of reverence crossed Elder Ku's eyes, and his tone became respectful. "Within Spirit Sword Mountain, there is a supreme alchemist known as Dan King Saint Hand, Xuanjizi. He was captured by the remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect but managed to escape with great difficulty. He might know the whereabouts of the Blood Fiend Sect."
"Dan King Saint Hand? Xuanjizi?" Chen Li's heart stirred.
He had seen records about this supreme alchemist in the academy's Treasure Pavilion. It was said that this senior, Xuanjizi, had reached the pinnacle of alchemy, capable of creating elixirs that could bring the dead back to life. Moreover, he was elusive and immersed in alchemy, often disappearing without a trace, making it rare for anyone to see his true form.
"Elder Ku, can you take us to meet this senior Xuanjizi?" Chen Li asked earnestly.
Elder Ku's expression turned difficult. "Although Old Madam has met Xuanjizi a few times, they are not deeply acquainted. Furthermore, when he escaped from the Blood Fiend Sect, he suffered greatly and has a Blood Sacrifice Spider left on his arm. Since then, he has been in seclusion at Spirit Sword Mountain, trying to suppress the magic spider with his sword aura. So if you want to see him, you must enter Spirit Sword Mountain. How is that even possible?"
Chen Li and Shen Qingyue exchanged glances. Shen Qingyue's eyes sparkled as she spoke up. "Elder Ku, the opening day of Spirit Sword Mountain is approaching. The seniors from Ninth Level will all be entering; can we go in with them?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Ku's face changed dramatically as he glared at them angrily. "Are you tired of living?! With your current half-baked cultivation level, you'd be shredded by sword aura and ruin your dantian! Are you looking for death?"
Chen Li and Shen Qingyue fell silent.
Spirit Sword Mountain was the ancestral spirit sword tomb of the Imperial Academy, containing all the insights into swordsmanship since its founding. Within it lay countless spirit swords, all of which were high-level magical artifacts. The lowest grade was spirit-grade; deeper within were treasure-grade and Holy Scroll-grade artifacts—those were coveted by all graduates.
After all, once a spirit sword recognized its master, it would belong to them entirely. For those about to serve the Qian Sheng Empire, possessing their own magical artifact was unparalleled.
Because of this, Spirit Sword Mountain was filled with sword aura and righteous energy that strongly suppressed demonic presence.
Xuanjizi likely remained within Spirit Sword Mountain because he could not eliminate the Blood Sacrifice Spider inside him; he could only forcefully suppress it with sword aura. Thus, he chose to cultivate there without venturing out.
Given the current situation, waiting outside indefinitely was not a solution; after all, no one knew how long they would have to wait. Moreover, since many seniors from Ninth Level had innate realm cultivations at levels eight or nine, it meant they could also enter.
However, the rules of the Imperial Academy were strict; tomorrow marked the opening time for Spirit Sword Mountain.
Without using any special means, they probably wouldn't be able to enter.
Thinking of this, Chen Li's eyes hardened, and he said resolutely, "Elder Ku, we have contributed so many Nourishing Spirit Pills; can't we at least exchange them for two qualifications to enter Spirit Sword Mountain? If we can't get into Spirit Sword Mountain, I will destroy all these Nourishing Spirit Pills!"
As he spoke, Chen Li made a move as if to crush all the jade bottles.
Seeing this, Elder Ku's expression changed in urgency, and he quickly waved his hand to stop him. "Hey, hey, hey, these Nourishing Spirit Pills are enough for your seniors. Don't be impulsive!"
However, Chen Li showed no signs of backing down. "So can we enter or not?"
Elder Ku looked at the stubborn Chen Li with a pained and helpless expression. "If you really go in and get hurt by the sword energy, can you handle it?"
Chen Li nodded heavily. "Of course we can handle it."
Elder Ku glanced at the jade bottle in Chen Li's hand and then at his determined eyes. Finally, he sighed helplessly. "Fine, fine, Old Madam will put her reputation on the line and ask the dean for two special approval slots for you. But I must warn you—if anything happens to you in Spirit Sword Mountain, don't blame Old Madam for not reminding you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Li and Shen Qingyue were overjoyed and quickly thanked Elder Ku.
Elder Ku waved his hand with a pained expression. "Alright, alright, hurry up and give me all the Nourishing Spirit Pills!"
Chen Li chuckled and promptly presented all the pills.
Elder Ku was still fuming and shot him an angry glare. "You really won't turn back until you hit a wall!"
Chen Li simply smiled foolishly and didn't mind Elder Ku's scolding. He knew that Elder Ku was also thinking about their safety.
But in order to find his mother and reunite their family, he couldn't care about that much anymore. He had to get into Spirit Sword Mountain!
