Immortal Cultivation: I Am A Human Being, Not The Human Clan!

Chapter 40: Blood Shadow Sect Takes the Blame

"Alright, this matter will be reported to the Heavenly Universe Great Emperor tomorrow. You all can disperse and prepare. Three days later, we will return to the court." Yu Feilong said.

To be honest, using mortal souls to refine the Soul Pill is something that their prestigious sects would only do when they come across an excellent opportunity. Otherwise, they would never innocently slaughter ordinary mortals to refine the Soul Pill.

It is only in situations like this, where they can directly frame and blame the Blood Dao Sect, that they would take action.

After all, if their own soul is damaged, unless they find heavenly treasures that can repair their own soul, or an Apex Level expert comes to their rescue, then they can only rely on refining the Soul Pill with mortal souls to repair their own Yin and Yang spirits. Of course, they can also directly refine the souls of mortals.

But this kind of thing harms others and oneself. Directly refining the souls of mortals will have a certain impact on one's own soul, and it also harms the heavens and goes against the principles of cultivation.

But these deceased villagers don't count. After all, they were not killed by me, so there is no problem using their souls to refine the pill.

"But General Tianquan, aren't we supposed to deal with the Blood Shadow Sect?" one of the Earthly Fiend Generals asked.

I just said that this was done by Blood Shadow Ancestor, so shouldn't we be causing trouble for Blood Shadow Ancestor?

This new Earthly Fiend General was a bit confused.

You were just so passionate, and now we're going back home?

Shouldn't we attack the stronghold of the Blood Shadow Sect, kill Blood Shadow Ancestor, and show the might of our Heaven Inspiring Army?

As soon as these words were spoken, several Heavenly Guardian Generals and Earthly Fiend Generals, as well as the others, looked at him as if he were a fool.

Brother, Blood Shadow Ancestor is a peak-level expert in Soul Cultivation. General Yu alone cannot defeat him, and he might even be killed by Blood Shadow Ancestor.

If you want to kill a demonic cultivator like Blood Shadow Ancestor, it is safest to have at least three Big Dipper Seven Star Generals and one of the Three Evil Stars go together. Otherwise, there may be unnecessary casualties. It's better for General Yu to forget about it.

Moreover, since the headquarters of the Blood Shadow Sect was destroyed decades ago, it is difficult to find the remnants of the Blood Shadow Sect led by this generation's Blood Shadow Ancestor.

"I understand, General Diyaoxing. I am eager to avenge these innocent villagers, but at this time, we still need to return to the court as soon as possible and inform the Heavenly Universe Great Emperor of what happened here. How about General Diyaoxing stay here to investigate the matter of the Blood Shadow Sect remnants?" Yu Feilong sneered and said.

Since you want to pursue the remnants of the Blood Shadow Sect, why don't you stay? Are you kidding me? I am a disciple cultivated by the Heavenly Sword Sect, one of the top three sects. Joining the Heaven Inspiring Army in the Heavenly Universe Dynasty and serving as a Big Dipper Seven Star General is just to give face to the Heavenly Universe Great Emperor.

It doesn't matter to handle small matters on a regular basis, but if we really fight against a demonic cultivator like Blood Shadow Ancestor, I don't have the confidence to win. After all, although I have reached the mid-stage of Soul Cultivation, I am still far behind this peak-level Blood Shadow Ancestor.

And I have already quelled the epidemic this time, found the source of the matter, and obtained a batch of mortal souls. I have gained benefits and completed the task. I have also found the mastermind behind the scenes. Why should I stay here?

"General Tianlingxing, I am willing to stay and investigate," this straightforward Earthly Fiend General said.

"Oh, is that so? Then ask the Heavenly Guardian Generals and Earthly Fiend Generals if any of them are willing to stay and help you investigate the matter of the Blood Shadow Sect," Yu Feilong directly passed the buck.

"General Tianlingxing, I wonder if you are willing to stay?"

"General Di Yaoxing, I have urgent matters to attend to and need to return to the capital immediately," said Tianlingxing, with a cold face, refusing the request of General Di Yaoxing.

"General Tianqiaoxing."

"My mother is seriously ill and I need to return immediately."

"General Di Yaoxing."

The several generals beside them all looked at General Tianqiaoxing with disdain.

Damn it! Can't you come up with a better excuse? Your mortal mother has been dead for decades, and you're over a hundred years old this year, okay?

The following General Di Yaoxing asked several others in succession, but without exception, they were all rejected.

Come on, who would want to stay here and do thankless tasks with you? And can you really investigate anything about the Blood Shadow Sect here?

Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows! Not to mention the cunning Blood Shadow Ancestor. It's impossible to find any trace of the Blood Shadow Sect here.

"General Di Yaoxing, since the other colleagues are unwilling, you can stay here alone to investigate! Come back when you've figured it out," said Yufeilong coldly.

Amidst laughter, General Di Yaoxing left the tent with a desolate expression.

He was not a disciple of the top three sects, just a low-level soldier in the Heaven Inspiring Army who had worked hard to become an Earthly Fiend General. He had just taken over as the Di Yaoxing, so who would speak up for him?

Three days later, after the Heaven Inspiring Army had settled all the surviving villagers, they immediately returned to the capital of the Heavenly Universe Dynasty.

Only 100 Xuanzi Heaven Inspiring Army soldiers and one Earthly Fiend General, Di Yaoxing, were left behind to continue investigating the Blood Shadow Sect.

Of course, he also had a task, which was to help the more than 2,000 surviving villagers rebuild their homes along the way.

In the Blood Shadow Sect at this time...

Zhou Tianfeng was holding a pot of spiritual spring water with a serious expression, watering several poisonous flowers and plants.

He took out a small notebook and meticulously recorded their growth status.

"The Snow Lotus has been successfully planted and survived. It only needs one year to bear fruit.

The Dimming Flower died due to planting methods. I will start planting it again. The speculated reason for the failure is the lack of earth energy. It needs to be planted in a place with sufficient earth energy."

Since the Blood Shadow Ancestor's little classroom was suspended, several months had passed. During these months, Zhou Tianfeng had been planting poisonous flowers and plants.

He also prepared some highly toxic powder and handed them to the outer disciples to capture some low-level Demonic Beasts.

Zhou Tianfeng would first draw some blood from these low-level Demonic Beasts, which would be preserved using an ice sealing charm. This blood could be saved for later use in refining Beast Cores.

As for these low-level Demonic Beasts, the ones with aggressive personalities were directly given to his second senior brother for corpse refinement, while the ones with gentler personalities were kept and bred by Zhou Tianfeng himself, intending to use them as blood collection tools in the future.

"Fourth Master, something bad has happened, something bad!" Just then, an outer disciple of the Blood Shadow Sect rushed in, looking very flustered.
