Chapter 200 -188: The Blood Demon Elder’s Killing Intent
Chen Yuan’s mouth occasionally let out some odd but meaningful words, which made Yue Shan contemplate whether Chen Yuan might have a promising path in literature.
Unfortunately, Confucianism had long declined, and it was now an era where martial arts flourished.
“Then… I shall take my leave first!”
Seeing that Chen Yuan had no intention of persuading him further, Yue Shan, clasping his hands in a traditional gesture, said.
“Hmm.”
Chen Yuan nodded slightly and picked up “Spring and Autumn” again.
He, Chen Yuan, was reading “Spring and Autumn”.
As Yue Shan turned to leave, something wriggled on his back, and a fist-sized lizard fell down. Just as it attempted to flee, Yue Shan’s faster reaction allowed him to catch it swiftly.
“What is this…”
Chen Yuan’s eyes narrowed.
This is not a playful matter, Yue Shan,
what exactly are you fussing with!
Holding the small lizard, Yue Shan explained:
“This is a little trinket from Yan Qing’s possession, borrowed for a few days of amusement.”
“Don’t be impulsive.”
Yue Shan: “???”
Although he did not understand the meaning behind Chen Yuan’s words, he nodded and then took his leave from the government office.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan put down “Spring and Autumn” and his eyes flickered for a moment before he reached for the saber hanging nearby, ready to practice his saber technique.
It was also Chen Yuan’s way of alleviating loneliness.
By focusing all his spirit on the saber technique, Chen Yuan basically had no other thoughts. Any that did arise were sliced away by his saber.
…
…
In a small courtyard within Nanling Prefecture.
The Blood Demon Elder sat cross-legged, his body enveloped in bright red blood Qi, emitting a strange aura as he took a long breath.
He concealed the blood Qi within his body.
Opening his eyes, a spark of brilliance shot out. Although advanced in years, his physical body was not the least bit weak, maintained by the Demon Secret Technique of body refinement, keeping him forever youthful and vigorous.
Of course, the price was also immense; his full head of white hair was one of the side effects.
Though called the Blood Demon Elder, he was only in his fifties, yet his appearance resembled that of a near hundred-year-old man. That was one of the prices.
He locked away his essence Qi, at the cost of his own life.
But to him, it was insignificant because once the Five Ghosts united, he could Reach Profound, simultaneously transforming his ghost body and restoring his life span.
The future was promising!
“Knock knock knock…”
A knocking sound came from outside, and the Blood Demon Elder indifferently said:
“Come in.”
“Greetings, Ancestor!”
“Greetings, Ancestor!”
“Greetings, Ancestor!”
The door was pushed open, and four Ghost Children walked tremblingly to the Blood Demon Elder, knelt on the ground, and trembled slightly.
It seemed they had encountered something terrifying.
“Have you found the trail of the Ghost Wood Child?”
The Blood Demon Elder calmly asked.
Using the Demon Secret Technique, he had refined the Five Elements Ghost Children who interacted with each other in generating and overcoming cycles, making them mutually responsive within a certain distance, thus doubling their search effectiveness.
Although he knew the Ghost Wood Child was within Nanling Prefecture, he did not know the exact location.
The query of the Blood Demon Elder echoed in the ears of the Ghost Children, but surprisingly, not one of them stood up to answer, only pressing their heads tightly against the ground.
Because the Ghost Wood Child was already dead!
The location they sensed was near an inn, some distance from Nanling Prefecture. After searching within Nanling Prefecture, they had moved on.
Then, they discovered the rotting, incomplete corpse of the Ghost Wood Child.
That’s when they hurriedly rushed back in panic.
They thought of fleeing, but they knew the consequences would be severe, and the Blood Demon Elder had ways to control them, leaving a Poison Pill within them.
Every seven days, they had to take an antidote, or else they would suffer unbearable itching and skin ulceration, feeling like ants crawling all over their bodies.
“Hmm?”
Seeing the response of the Ghost Children, the Blood Demon Elder instinctively sensed something was amiss and sharply demanded:
“Speak, where is the Ghost Wood Child?”
“Ancestor… the Ghost Wood is already… dead!”
The Ghost Gold Child looked up at the Blood Demon Elder for a moment, then hung his head again.
“What, dead!”
The tone in the Blood Demon Ancestor’s voice slightly rose, his expression somewhat enraged.
The Ghost Wood Child was critical for his breakthrough plan; how could he be dead!
The Ghost Children were not something that could be refined casually. One needed to find children born of the Five Elements, also born on a Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour.
Originally, he had lost a Water Child, and it had taken him a great effort to find another.
“The corpse is in Nanling City…” Ghost Gold Child mentioned a location.
At the same time, he informed the Blood Demon Elder of Ghost Wood Child’s decayed and broken corpse.
After a long silence, the gloomy Blood Demon Elder looked at Ghost Gold Child and asked,
“Who killed Ghost Wood, have you figured it out?”
Since there was no reversing what had happened, he could only start again and refine another one, regrettable as it was that it would cost him several more years, but the person who had sabotaged his plans must die.
The initial Ghost Child had died at the hands of a disciple of a Core Realm powerhouse, and in his furious rage, he had turned that man into a human pig—by severing his limbs and leaving only his head in a toxic vat to endure the agony of a thousand cuts.
It was the same now!
The one who sabotaged his major plan must pay the price, no matter who it was.
As a devil acted with disregard for all, and he was even a devil among devils, able to make some name for himself in Blood State even at the Gang Condensation Realm, it demonstrated the capabilities of the Blood Demon Elder.
Without any hesitation, Ghost Gold Child hastily reported the findings of his investigation to the Blood Demon Elder:
“Elder, previously the Ghost Wood Child…”
In the vicinity of that inn, they had easily found traces left by Ghost Wood Child, who had been using the alias ‘Qing Mo’ at the time!
Latter, in the inn, he was killed by a passerby, and although it was a stranger, they still found some traces of people related to Ghost Wood Child.
Firstly, a group of disciples from Qingmu Sect, secondly, the previously notorious Yunjiang Five Ghosts, and thirdly… the now well-known Heavenly Patrol Envoy, Chen Yuan.
There were quite a few people dining at the inn that day, gathering this information was not particularly hard.
After several days, they had mostly sorted out the information thoroughly, and only then did Ghost Gold Child dare to return to report; otherwise, if they had only brought back the news of Ghost Wood Child’s death, they would have certainly faced punishment.
After listening to Ghost Gold Child’s report, the Blood Demon Elder’s gaze turned dark; knowing that unless something unforeseen occurred, the killer of Ghost Wood Child should be one of these three groups.
He then said in a low voice,
“Go, check their movements for me.”
He was preparing to unleash a massacre and kill all these people involved!
If it were not for the death of Ghost Wood Child, he would have been preparing for a breakthrough by now, but now… he could only waste several more years refining another Ghost Child.
Which significantly increased his troubles.
Not knowing what changes might occur along the way, those who sabotaged his affairs must die.
“Yes, disciple obeys!”
“Disciple obeys!”
…
…
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, another two days had gone by.
Chen Yuan’s cultivation steadily improved, even relaxing a bit; he had been safely cultivating for over twenty days, which was unimaginable in the past.
It was as if a very busy person had suddenly taken a break.
This made Chen Yuan somewhat unaccustomed.
He always felt that because of the Qi Fortune Altar, he had the physique to stir up trouble; even if he didn’t seek trouble, trouble would come specifically for him, but this time…
It seemed not to be the case.
Even Chen Yuan was somewhat puzzled as to why so long had passed and yet the child of fortune hadn’t arrived riding a colorful cloud to have his life taken by him.
Without Qi Fortune, where does opportunity come from?
Without opportunity, how does strength come?
Chen Yuan no longer had the calm appearance; he had been staying quietly inside the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, not actively undertaking any missions, just firmly believing that Qi Fortune would actively come looking for him.
But now, he was somewhat anxious.
Even feeling that there were no more children of fortune in Nanling Prefecture for him to exploit, therefore… in these days, whenever he had free time, he would disguise himself and wander around the Prefecture City.
Hoping for someone blindly instigating trouble.

Not fearing clichés and melodrama, just fearing no one would come.
Unfortunately, for several days, nothing happened at all, making him somewhat disappointed and even more so as no one blindly provoked him or even shouted any phrases like “Thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, do not bully the young and poor.”
And his cultivation kept getting stronger, perhaps as his physical body had steadily improved a lot during this period, the output of the pure Evil Qi from the Blood Evil Saber was also increasing.
He was very close to reaching the peak of Evil Qi.
Once he reached the peak of Evil Qi, he had to start preparing for the breakthrough to the Heavenly Gang level.
Transforming Yin Evil Qi into Yang Gang Energy was not as simple as imagined, with Evil Qi belonging to Yin and Gang Qi belonging to Yang; the transformation from Yin to Yang required a gradual perception of a thread of Yang Gang Energy entering the Dantian to transform slowly.
Or perhaps with the aid of some Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, but nonetheless, it would take a long time.
But Chen Yuan, accustomed to striving… continually cultivating slowly didn’t seem quite right.
Greatly anticipating the next opportunity, Chen Yuan decided to apply for a mission to bump into it, to see if he could find a person endowed with Qi Fortune; if he could, that would naturally be best.
If not, there was no help for it but to cultivate step by step as usual.
Just as Chen Yuan had this thought, the Blood Demon Elder already had all his information in hand, including the rumour that the Yunjiang Four Ghosts were under Chen Yuan’s command.
Somehow, he had a vague feeling that Chen Yuan was the one who had killed Ghost Wood Child!
Realizing this, the Blood Demon Elder decided to kill this Chen Yuan fellow, better to kill him wrongly than to let him go, and killing a talented youth like Chen Yuan, who had so much potential at such a young age, felt even more thrilling.
That old fellow, Tao Qingyuan who had also chased him, would feel his loss when he killed his prized Chen Yuan, making his trip worthwhile!
With murderous intent swirling around, the Blood Demon Elder settled his decision to ambush Chen Yuan, of course, he was also aware of the rumors about Chen Yuan potentially hiding his true strength, but he thought little of it.
Ridiculous,
Could Chen Yuan possibly counter-kill him?
