Only My Way

It was like ice-cold water, with ice blocks that wouldn't melt for a while.

Shen Yunqing looked at the corpses and souls of the [Mind Intent Realm Cultivators]. Although they were being eroded, it didn't seem to affect them much for the time being.

Although he felt the progress was a bit slow,

the satisfaction in his heart couldn't be hidden.

After all, the more effectively they could resist the blood pool's erosion, the more valuable they proved to be.

Compared to the power of the effect,

a slightly slower pace

was not a problem at all.

One could even say the slower, the better.

The situation felt like simmering soup over a low flame.

However,

this situation was not the same for those souls.

For the souls suffering immense torment,

it was a feeling akin to their bodies slowly dissolving, yet they were completely helpless…

However,

no matter how they struggled,

it was all in vain.

This blood pool,

over the course of thousands of years,

had successively swallowed the flesh and souls of hundreds of millions of living beings.

The dense runes had long connected into a web, like a true net of heaven and earth…

Let alone the souls of [Mind Intent Realm Cultivators],

even the souls of [Divine Power Realm Cultivators],

once they fell into it,

would be powerless and unable to escape!

At this moment,

even if those souls still retained their sanity and looked at Shen Yunqing with eyes that wished they could devour his flesh and drink his blood,

they were ultimately helpless and powerless.

It was like a ferocious beast had been locked in a cage…

From the moment they were locked inside,

the outcome was already destined.

No matter how unwilling they were,

no matter how full of resentment,

it was all in vain.

Even,

their unwillingness and resentment would become a reward, benefiting Shen Yunqing greatly.

To put it bluntly,

what Shen Yunqing wanted was their resentment…

The stronger the unwillingness and resentment contained in the prey's heart, the more the extracted essence would meet his needs.

Seeing this situation,

after observing for a while longer, Shen Yunqing finally turned and left with satisfaction.

He planned to prepare the next batch of materials while the current ones were still dissolving.

The most important and most suitable material for this blood pool: the remaining members of the [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect]…

'Cultivators of the same origin are truly top-grade treasures…'

Thinking of this,

the satisfaction on Shen Yunqing's face increased by a few points.

In the past,

the reason why Teng Shenghu and many members of the [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect] committed acts of attacking their fellow disciples

was nothing more than the half-human, half-ghost characteristic of their fellow disciples.

That was the blessing brought about by years of practicing evil arts.

Although there were significant problems with their mental and physical states,

as long as it could be handled properly,

then everyone would be top-notch consumables.

Especially for those who also practiced evil arts, this was even more so…

If other consumables

still needed to undergo particularly complex refining work before they could be of great use,

then fellow disciples were already high-quality semi-finished products that had been repeatedly processed!

Who could resist this temptation?

Therefore, fratricide

was naturally a frequent occurrence within the [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect].

Even the Sect Leader could hardly control it.

At most, he would prevent things from becoming too public.

Always maintaining the overall discipline within the sect.

Now,

in order to accomplish great things,

Shen Yunqing decided to solve the problem once and for all.

Using all the consumables to achieve himself.

So that the entire [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect] would never again have fratricide…

Not long after,

as three sect elders with [Mind Intent Realm] strength successively died on the spot from Shen Yunqing's sneak attacks with expressions of disbelief on their faces,

layers of array barriers

suddenly enveloped the entire [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect].

The most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ Is ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Post!

And many members of the [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect] who had been specially summoned back by Shen Yunqing

were completely unaware of the situation.

They didn't know what was happening at all.

Until one fierce ghost after another, under Shen Yunqing's control,

began to devour and frantically slaughter any living person they saw.

Only then did those members gradually react…

However, as things stood, their fate was already sealed…

Even if Shen Yunqing didn't personally deal with them,

merely releasing the fierce ghosts he had created

was enough, as those ferocious ghosts, whose strength was at least at the [Spirit Nurturing Realm], were simply not something ordinary members could resist…

Many members, until death came, were still sincerely wondering if the situation was that a fierce ghost raised by a sect elder had lost control, or if this was all a deliberate massacre…

In the end,

it was only a short period of time.

The entire [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect] was purged by Shen Yunqing, the Sect Leader.

Regardless of whether the members resisted when facing the crisis, or whether they tried to escape…

None of them were able to change their fate of dying miserably on the spot.

Ultimately,

this was Shen Yunqing's home ground.

The so-called favorable timing, geographical advantages, and popular support

were all in his grasp.

Coupled with the complete crushing in terms of strength…

No matter how cunning the other guys were, how good they were at hiding, how good they were at escaping, it was all utterly meaningless.

When Shen Yunqing left the great hall that had been completely slaughtered and returned to the underground blood pool once again,

looking at the corpses and souls that had been thrown into the blood pool,

even someone as cold-blooded as him

couldn't help but have a hint of complexity in his eyes.

Even a dog,

would evoke some emotion if raised for a long time.

And the previous prosperity of the [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect] was inseparable from Shen Yunqing's credit.

At the very least,

before he personally slaughtered all the members,

he was a genuine person who personally made the sect prosper.

Therefore,

although the [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect] was a sect that everyone hated,

as the Sect Leader,

as the person who single-handedly pushed it to a higher level,

Shen Yunqing still had some feelings for the sect.

However,

now, he had personally destroyed it completely…

Just as he was silently recalling how he had become the Sect Leader by deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors,

suddenly,

a voice containing infinite resentment echoed in this incomparably silent underground space:

"Shen Yunqing, why did you do this!!"

Suddenly hearing this question,

even Shen Yunqing revealed a hint of astonishment on his face.

However, soon, that astonishment turned into a hint of helplessness:

"Oh~ It's the Grand Elder~"

"As expected of you, to be able to forcefully transmit your voice in this situation… Sure enough, it was best to sneak attack and kill you earlier."

"People who live too long may not necessarily be strong, but their methods will definitely be more unimaginable…"
