Chapter 145 - 145: Negotiation of the Righteous Path

One in the early Foundation Establishment stage, Zhang Chen in the mid Foundation Establishment stage, and two in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

In the fifth round of battles, three out of two would advance, and there would also be one person exempted from fighting.

In other words, in the late Foundation Establishment stage battles, Blood God Sect would definitely have one person promoted, contending for the first place.

And in this round, Zhang Chen was exempted.

On the other side, within the Silver Moon Sect, the elders of Heavenly Origin Sword Sect and the Spiritual Cloud Sect were also welcomed.

The Sect Master of Silver Moon Sect personally led the elders to greet them, saying, “Welcome to the Silver Moon Clan, Fellow Daoists.”

The elder of the Heavenly Origin Sword Sect was a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He exuded an unstoppable sharp aura, carrying an ordinary-looking sword on his back.

But how could a sword carried by an elder of the Heavenly Origin Sword Sect be ordinary?

A divine sword hid its sharpness. Once unsheathed, it would surely shake the heavens.

The elder of the Spiritual Cloud Sect was an old man, standing on a cloud with his hair white as snow and a youthful appearance. His temperament was ethereal, like an immortal descending to the mortal realm.

“Greetings, Sect Master Chen.” The two of them cupped their hands and bowed.

“The two Fellow Daoists have come from afar. Please enter the sect and have a cup of spiritual tea before discussing matters,” the Sect Master of Silver Moon Sect spoke calmly.

“As you wish, Sect Master Chen.” The two of them nodded in agreement.

“Please.”

They arrived at the main hall of the sect. As soon as they sat down, a disciple immediately served them spiritual tea.

The fragrance filled the air, carrying the essence of moonlight, refreshing one’s spirit.

In the cup, there was a peculiar flower petal emitting a faint cold light, constantly changing its shape like the moon.

Crescent, half-moon, ellipse, full moon…

It felt as if the moon in the sky was contained within the cup!

“This is the Thousand-year Moon Lotus Tea. Fellow Daoists, please savor it,” the Sect Master of Silver Moon Sect introduced with a smile.

The two individuals lifted their teacups and took a sip. As the cool liquid entered their mouths, their bodies and souls felt as if they were bathing in moonlight, experiencing an unprecedented sense of comfort.

“Excellent tea!” the two exclaimed in unison, praising it.

“As long as the two fellow Daoists enjoy it,” the Sect Master of Silver Moon Sect responded with a smile on his face.

The group leisurely drank their tea, with each passing moment feeling like an eternity. It was impossible to tell that they were supposed to seek assistance from the two sects; it appeared more like they were there to sample tea.

After finishing the spiritual tea in their cups, the elder from the Heavenly Origin Sword Sect took the lead and spoke, his words as sharp as a sword.

“It’s commendable that you, as the Sect Master, can remain so composed. Now that the tea is finished, Sect Master Chen, perhaps it’s time to discuss the matter concerning Blood God Sect?”

The reason the Sect Master of Silver Moon Sect didn’t bring it up earlier was to maintain control of the situation.

If he showed impatience or anxiety, he could easily be manipulated and threatened by the other party.

The less he appeared concerned, the less certain the other side would be.

The Sect Master of Silver Moon Sect nodded, set down his teacup, and spoke slowly, “The Blood God Sect has remained dormant for hundreds of years, and its strength has greatly recovered. Being adjacent to them, it falls upon the Silver Moon Sect to oversee and monitor their actions.

“Seeing the Blood God Sect prosper day by day has caused me great unease. In order to prevent the resurgence of the Blood Demon Calamity, the Silver Moon Sect took the initiative to engage in battle with them as a probe.

“Through this trial, we discovered that the Blood God Sect is indeed formidable. Not only did they defeat our elders, but they also invaded our territory with their strength.

“Because of this, my Silver Moon Clan lost a large number of disciples.”

As he spoke, the Sect Master of Silver Moon Sect displayed a face filled with grief, pain, and anger.

And in his words, the problems that originally belonged to the Silver Moon Sect became sacrifices made for the safety and well-being of the righteous path.

‘”‘Sect Master Chen truly embodies the ideals of the righteous path, and we admire you,” the two elders praised, giving face to him.

Deeply concerned, the Sect Master of the Silver Moon Sect continued, “Furthermore, our sect has discovered that disciples from the Blood God Sect have infiltrated our borders, seemingly plotting some sort of conspiracy.

“Moreover, not long ago, the White Bone Hall, Corpse Control Sect, and Nether

Spring Sect all headed towards the Blood God Sect. I am worried that the Blood Demon Calamity might reemerge. That is why we invited both of your sects to discuss this matter.”

When the two elders heard this, their expressions were solemn.

The Spiritual Cloud Sect elder raised a question. “The demonic path is selfish and self-serving. Previously, the Blood Demon was isolated and had no assistance, relying solely on the power of one sect to confront the righteous path, resulting in his failure and subsequent sealing. Why would they now want to help the Blood God Sect?”

The Sect Master of Silver Moon Sect shook his head. “It’s hard to say. Perhaps the Blood God Sect has promised them certain benefits, or maybe there is a great demon who wishes to emulate the Blood Demon and break through countless living beings’ boundaries.

“This is a serious matter. No matter what the reason is, even if it’s a one in a million chance, we have to treat it carefully and guard against it.

“For the sake of the people of the world and the continuation of the righteous path, my Silver Moon Clan is willing to be the sword of the righteous path. We will stop the Blood Demon Calamity at all costs!”

The sect Master of the Silver Moon Sect was righteous and his tone was resolute.

However, upon careful consideration, the Silver Moon Sect was adjacent to the Blood God Sect. If the Blood God Sect made a move, the first to suffer would be the Silver Moon Sect. It did not matter if they were at the forefront or not. “Our three sects can be said to be the door to resist the demonic path. We naturally have to help each other. We can’t lack any of them.”

“The three sects can be considered the gatekeepers against the demonic path, and we must support and assist each other. We cannot afford to be lacking in any aspect,” spoke the elder from the Heavenly Origin Sword Sect. As a swordsman, he possessed the strongest inclination for battle and killing.

The Spiritual Cloud Sect elder nodded, “Indeed, the three sects must support and assist each other, standing united against the demonic sect. However…”

The Spiritual Cloud Sect elder changed his tone. “Our Spiritual Cloud Sect and the Nether Spring Sect are next to each other, and the Heavenly Origin Sword Sect and the Corpse Control Sect are adjacent.lf our two sects focus too much attention on Blood God Sect, it may be a ploy by the demonic path to lure us away from our bases.”

Implicitly, it meant they could help the Silver Moon Sect, but they wouldn’t send too many people.

“We do need to guard against the demonic path’s schemes. The specific details of assistance can be discussed based on the circumstances of each sect,” the Sect Master of the Silver Moon Sect didn’t object but agreed instead.

After all, it was impossible to mobilize the entire sect’s strength for assistance. It was better to first finalize the details of the support and gain whatever additional strength they could.

On one side, the three righteous sects discussed how to resist the Blood God Sect.

On the other side, within the Blood God Sect, the fifth round of the demonic competition had concluded, entering the finals to determine first place.

Throughout the Foundation Establishment stage’s three phases, the Blood God Sect surprisingly secured a place in the finals for each phase.

Other than Zhang Chen, the early-stage Foundation Establishment Blood God Sect disciples displayed exceptional strength.

Although the spells and techniques used were not particularly powerful, their wealth of combat experience allowed them to seize fleeting opportunities and repeatedly turn defeat into victory.

Zhang Chen had to admit that in a situation where their strength and techniques were on par, he was not the opponent of those disciples.

That kind of combat experience, or rather, combat talent, was something he couldn’t match.

The finals began with the disciples in the early stage Foundation Establishment conducting the first bout, as usual.

Zhang Chen attentively watched the two figures on the stage, eager to see what astonishing performance his fellow sect disciples would deliver this time, and whether they could win again based on their combat experience.

The opponent was a disciple from the Corpse Control Sect, who possessed great strength in the early stage Foundation Establishment and initially dominated the disciple from the Blood God Sect.

The disciple of the Blood God Sect relied on his combat experience, narrowly escaping danger several times.

He even managed to land a strike on the opponent, but to his surprise, a robe appeared on the Corpse Control Sect disciple, blocking the attack.

It was a high-grade robe capable of withstanding attacks from the mid-stage Foundation Establishment and below, making him nearly invulnerable.

No one thought that the Blood God Sect disciples would win.

And a shocking scene happened. The disciple of the Blood God Sect used the Blood Ignition Technique!

It was known that once Blood Ignition Technique was employed, the outcome would only be death.

None of the disciples present could comprehend why someone would risk his life for a mere competition.

Although the prize was enticing, it wasn’t worth sacrificing one’s life for!
