Chapter 112: Development of the Situation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Elder Blood River slowly opened his eyes and ordered, “Bring Zhang Chen here.”
‘Yes!” The bat demon bowed and left the cave abode.
On the other side, Zhang Chen had just completed a mission and was flying towards the cave abode.
“Pa, pa, pa, pa…”
Hearing the sound of flapping bat wings, Zhang Chen already knew who was coming, so he stopped.
The only person who could control the bat demon was Elder Blood River. He must have been summoned because of the use of the Blood River Pearl.
At this point, Zhang Chen had already started thinking about how to explain himself when facing Elder Blood River.
Soon, the bat demon arrived and said bluntly, “Zhang Chen, Master wants to see you.”
Zhang Chen did not respond. He ignored the bat demon and turned to fly towards Blood River Peak.
If others treated him with respect, he would reciprocate tenfold. If others had ill intentions towards him, he would also return them tenfold.
Looking at the distant blood light, the bat demon snorted coldly. “Hmph! Let’s see how long you can live.”
Blood River Peak.
“Disciple Zhang Chen is here to pay his respects to Master.”
“Come up.” Blood River Elder’s voice sounded. The blood mist that enveloped the mountain peak revealed a path.
“Yes.” Zhang Chen walked up the mountain.
Entering the cave, Zhang Chen bowed and said, ‘Greetings, Master.”
“Hmm,” Elder Blood River nodded and asked, “What did you do during your time outside the sect?”
“Master, I took on a sect mission to capture Foundation Establishment demon beasts. With the Blood River Pearl you bestowed upon me, I caught those beasts without fear.
However, I didn’t expect to attract a Golden Core demon king, and I barely escaped with the Blood River Pearl you gave me. I had to hide in the marketplace.” Zhang Chen hardly concealed anything except the number of demon beasts.
It was impossible to conceal this matter, and doing so would only make things worse.
“This incident should serve as a lesson for you. Remember that there will always be someone better than you, and you should not be overconfident in your abilities.” Elder Blood River spoke solemnly, as if he genuinely cared for Zhang Chen.
In reality, he was worried that Zhang Chen would die outside and he would lose a potential Golden Core Blood God Son in the future.
Elder Blood River wasn’t too concerned about the number of Foundation Establishment demon beasts.
In his eyes, anyone below the Golden Core stage was insignificant.
“I will heed your teachings, Master.” Zhang Chen expressed his sincere attitude and promised to learn from his mistakes.
“Hmm, practice diligently. If you can reach the fifth level of Foundation Establishment within five years, I will give you another Blood River Pearl.” Elder Blood River promised.
“I will work hard to reach the fifth level of Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.” Zhang Chen was full of enthusiasm and longing.
Elder Blood River was pleased with Zhang Chen’s attitude. “You’re promising.
Alright, you may leave now.”
“Yes, thank you, Master.” Zhang Chen bowed and left.
On the way down the mountain, Zhang Chen encountered the bat demon, but he still chose to ignore it.
The bat demon didn’t hide its disdain and mockery towards Zhang Chen.
At this moment, the bat demon’s body suddenly trembled, and the Blood River Elder’s voice sounded in its mind.
“Ah Bat, come into the cave abode.”
Upon entering the cave, the bat demon immediately changed its demeanor and became respectful and deferential. “Master.”
“Why did Zhang Chen come alone when I asked you to bring him here?” Elder Blood River narrowed his eyes.
The bat demon hurriedly explained, “Master, Zhang Chen was arrogant and didn’t wait for me at all.”
“Ah Bat, you must remember your place. They are my disciples, and you are only a servant.” Elder Blood River spoke sternly.
“Ah Bat was wrong, Master.” The bat demon’s body trembled as it knelt on the ground.
Elder Blood River scolded the bat demon because he was afraid that Zhang Chen and the other disciples would become suspicious.
How could a captive demon beast give orders to the most favored disciple? What would the disciples think?
If the identity of a senior disciple was inferior to that of a demon beast, it would cause chaos.
What was the reason that a dignified direct disciple was looked down on by a demon beast raised in captivity?
Zhang Chen went back to his own cave, thinking about how to make arrangements for over a hundred Foundation Establishment demon beasts.
There was a special mist inside the beast breeding bag that could make the beasts fall asleep and avoid struggling and damaging the space inside the bag.
However, these beasts had expended a lot of demonic energy and even sustained injuries during their capture, so they slept without recovering in the beast breeding bag.
Additionally, they could not cultivate their strength inside the bag.
Zhang Chen had at least a few decades of time, and if he let these demon beasts cultivate during this time, they could also improve their cultivation by one or two levels.
“What if I buy a formation flag and raise the demonic beasts on the peaks of my cave?” he thought.
But he immediately rejected the idea, thinking that ordinary formations could not withstand the scrutiny of the Golden Core cultivators. Each beast had a slave seal on its forehead, which was too conspicuous.
“Buying a formation that can withstand the Golden Core stage is too expensive. And if the formation is too good, it will make people more suspicious.
“But when I form my core, I can buy a formation that can threaten the Golden Core stage to defend against Elder Blood River, and that will require a lot of blood essence or spirit stones.
“It seems that I can only find a place outside the sect to settle these demon beasts. When I leave the sect, I can also take the opportunity to look for the descendants of Hong Longguang.”
Although he had made up his mind, Zhang Chen did not immediately leave the sect, intending to wait for another year or two until the incident in the Demon Beast Mountain Range faded a little.
At that time, many disciples of the Blood God Sect were in the market. After a few months, the news of a Golden Core Demon King coming to ask for him had also spread to the Blood God Sect, causing quite a commotion.
All direct disciples who left the sect were suspected, including Zhang Chen, but because of his low cultivation level, he was soon excluded.
Other direct disciples returned one after another, but no one admitted to anything. This became an unsolved mystery.
For the next year, Zhang Chen lived quietly, constantly refining his blood and cultivating Blood God Sons.
His cave was filled with large and small blood pools, with almost no place to stand. Roughly estimated, there were no fewer than 20.
These blood pools were filled with demonic blood and floating with densely packed blood seeds, like being in the nest of some giant insect.
The blood seeds contracted and wriggled like breathing, sucking blood, making people shudder and feel creepy.
Although it was slow, using demonic blood to cultivate Blood God Seed was the most cost-effective method.
Zhang Chen had half of the blood share of the Beast Garden and traded blood with the Alchemy Pavilion, so the thing he lacked the least was demon blood.
The blood he refined was used to improve the cultivation of Blood God Sons after it hatched. He made progress in both areas at the same time.
With his current strength, he could be considered the number one person under the Golden Core.
However, what he lacked were the means to deal with the Golden Core stage.
No matter how many Blood God Sons he had cultivated at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, he could not pose a threat to the Golden Core stage Hence, he decided to slowly nurture them with demon blood.
Zhang Chen stood up and glanced at the blood pools around him. “It’s time to find a place to settle the demon beasts and find Hong Longguang’s descendants..”
