There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 53: Sending the Artifact

It seems that the situation here has already been settled.

Seven Core Formation Late Stage cultivators from the Great River Sect: Three from the seas, two from the rivers, one from the lake, and one from the He family.

The female cultivator Jiang Zhi died under the Black Blood Jiao Qiu's dark blade, and the sect master Hai Guo suffered heavy injuries.

The brothers Hai Long and Hai Yan, along with Jiang Chong and Zhu Jian Xu Wei Zhou, conspired together.

With the collapse of the raging waves, the great building is about to fall!

Who can reverse this situation?

Hu Changqing?

He, who was silenced by Jiang Chong's words, what use could he have?

He Nian Sheng?

The Supreme Alchemist is known for being bad at combat.

What about the other cultivators from the Great River Sect?

To put it bluntly, with the four Thunder Swords and the sword formation, the four traitors are like a meat grinder.

Even if all the cultivators here were killed, the Purple Thunder Sword Formation would not falter.

It seems... today is the end of the Great River Sect.

In the shocked gazes of the cultivators, Hai Yan, who was in the deep pit, suddenly rose into the air.

Hai Yan's physical body was already strong, and besides, how much true strength could Hai Guo exert under such heavy injuries?

The Thunder Swords shimmered, the four cultivators formed a formation, and the seven cultivators controlled the Purple Thunder Sword Formation, which forcibly enveloped most of the Black Jiao Forest.

Seeing this scene, the cultivators of the Great River Sect fell silent.

Resist?

Forget it!

How many spirit stones does the Great River Sect give in a month? There's no need to risk their lives.

Working for someone else is still working. They could find another sect.

Maybe the Bamboo Sword Sect is better.

...

Seeing the performance of the Great River Sect cultivators, Xu Wei Zhou was very satisfied.

Suppress the Great River Sect! I, Xu Wei Zhou, will be greatly rewarded!

Who dares to compete with me for credit?

...

In a daze, Xu Wei Zhou had already seen his bright future.

Just at this moment, Hai Long's hoarse voice quietly sounded again.

"Elder Xu, according to the agreement, my brother and I will get Hai Guo, and the Bamboo Sword Sect will let us go."

Looking deeply at the Hai brothers in front of him, Xu Wei Zhou hesitated for a moment.

Indeed, this was the agreement he made with the Hai brothers.

But looking at Hai Yan's performance today... Xu Wei Zhou hesitated again.

What the Hai brothers had been plotting for years couldn't be that simple, right?

His intuition told him that there was something strange about Hai Guo.

If he kept him, he would definitely gain something.

But with no reinforcements arriving, what could he use to confront the Hai brothers?

Rely on Jiang Chong?

That old man?

After much consideration, Xu Wei Zhou said:

"An agreement is an agreement. The Hai brothers can rest assured! The Bamboo Sword Sect will definitely not break the agreement!"

Upon hearing Xu Wei Zhou's reply, the Hai brothers exchanged glances and bowed.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu, for your understanding."

They didn't hide their words when they said this.

So everyone present heard them.

...

"Why... why..."

Covering his wound with one hand and tightly gripping the giant blade in his other hand, Hai Guo looked at the Hai brothers across from him and asked slowly.

"Why... don't you understand, Sect Master?"

"What do you understand?"

"The Four Great River Clans, the command of our ancestors."

Upon hearing the words "ancestors," Hai Guo's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Lowering his gaze, Hai Guo slowly looked down at He Nian Sheng below.

After a moment, he finally said:

"I understand."

Among those present who could understand the conversation between the two sides, perhaps only He Nian Sheng below could.

The story begins on that day.

On that day, the wind and rain were fierce, and the candlelight flickered.

For the Great River Sect, that night was very unusual.

Because on that night, the Elder Master of the Sea Clan passed away.

At the moment of his death, he saw many people.

Among them was He Niansheng.

...

"Niansheng, are you really unwilling to refine the elixir of life for me?"

"Reporting to the Elder Master, Niansheng really cannot refine the elixir of life."

Under the flickering candlelight, a pair of old and profound eyes stared closely at He Niansheng sitting in front of him.

Gently patting He Niansheng's shoulder, the Elder Master suddenly smiled and said,

"Niansheng, I remember you were mischievous when you were young."

"When you were at the Qi Refining Stage, you dared to kill. At the third level of Qi Refining, you wanted to kill others. At the seventh level of Qi Refining..."

"If you couldn't beat them, you set traps. If the traps didn't kill them, you poisoned them..."

"In fact, our four clans were originally one family. You told me that your uncle helped you kill him, just a disciple from the foot of the mountain."

"Your parents died early, and it's my fault for not paying more attention to you."

Upon hearing this, He Niansheng immediately knelt down on the ground, with a respectful and impeccable attitude.

"Niansheng has achieved so much, and my uncle has already taken care of me a lot. Niansheng dare not ask for more."

"Niansheng, you should start a family..."

Speaking up to this point, the Elder Master's eyes became even deeper.

Start a family?

Have children?

You want to control me, don't you?

Although he thought so in his heart, He Niansheng remained respectful on the surface.

"Niansheng, you must remember that the Great River of the Four Clans, everything in the Great River must still be controlled by the Four Clans. This is a principle, this is also a bottom line."

When the Elder Master said this, a hint of doubt gradually appeared between He Niansheng's eyebrows.

Because the Elder Master passed on the position of the Sect Master to Hai Guo, his adopted son.

Strictly speaking, he is not of the bloodline of the Four Clans.

Seeing He Niansheng's reaction, the Elder Master spoke again in a calm manner.

"Niansheng, let me tell you a secret. Hai Guo is the vessel of my two sons."

Upon hearing the word "vessel," He Niansheng slowly straightened his body.

Looking at the old man in front of him who was about to wither, He Niansheng suddenly felt a chill in his spine.

The vessel is also called a sacrificial vessel.

The word "vessel" implies that a fly lays eggs inside a living organism, which is a form of sacrifice.

The word "sacrificial" implies that it is consumed as food for the five organs, consuming its flesh and sensing its spirit.

The vessel is actually a dark existence because it is too cruel.

Using a person as a vessel is even rarer.

To become a sacrificial vessel, not only must one have extraordinary talent, but also an extraordinary physique.

He must have a strong life force! He must have strong cultivation! He must live until the day of sacrifice.

Swallowing the flesh and blood of the vessel, consuming the soul of the vessel, obtaining everything from the sacrificial vessel.

This method... is almost like the Demon Dao.

It is almost challenging the bottom line of cultivators.

The materials for the vessel are already extremely rare, and the methods of refining the sacrificial vessel are even more forbidden.

Thinking of this, He Niansheng slowly raised his head.

And the Elder Master of the Sea Clan also lowered his head as if sensing something.

An old man and a young man, two generations of Great River cultivators, their gazes gradually met in the air.

In the depths of each other's eyes, they saw a fierce and cold beast.

"Niansheng, you have had your adventures, and so have I. You can refine pills, and I can refine sacrificial vessels. There's nothing wrong with that."

"What I hope you remember is that Great River belongs to the Four Clans. Don't get stuck in a dead end."

"Xizi Cangzhou, where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, we must be more united."

Hehe...

The Great River of the Four Clans.

Yes, everything in the Great River belongs to the Four Clans.

Even the so-called Sect Master of the Great River Sect is just a sacrificial vessel prepared for your sons.

Letting out a long sigh in his heart, He Niansheng once again knelt before the Elder Master of the Sea Clan.

"He Niansheng has learned."

Finally, under the deep gaze of the Elder Master of the Sea Clan, He Niansheng respectfully withdrew.

"This child is a wolf of our Four Clans... I have to put a shackle on him."

"Summon Jiang Chong."

"Yes."
