Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 1051 - 534: What One Seeks

"Ancestor, Ancestor~ for you~"

Zheng Jian suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the little girl running towards him with candied hawthorn in her hand, and smiled as he lifted her onto his lap.

"Ancestor is not hungry, Ancestor has been Fasting for five hundred years, Yiyi can eat it."

"One for me~ one for you~"

"Hehe, alright, one for me, one for you. Hmm, really sweet, did your father buy this for you?"

"It’s from the people in the mountains."

Zheng Jian was taken aback,

"What did you say."

The little girl lifted her head, revealing two hollow sockets in her eyes, holding up a string of eyeballs,

"Zheng Jian! You are indulging in earthly pleasures and have forgotten the instructions from the mountains!"

"I dare not forget!"

Zheng Jian sprang to his feet! Suddenly awakened, the shadow of the little girl had vanished from his arms. Cold sweat trickled down his spine, and a chill surged throughout his body.

"Was that a dream? No! I’ve been ensnared!"

Uneasy at heart, Zheng Jian sprang to his feet, pushed open the main gate of the Zheng Family Ancestral Temple, and stepped out, then was instantly stunned.

Heaven and earth were blood-red everywhere, boundless and infinite, with crimson blood water flowing from outside the courtyard, as if a great flood was about to engulf the Ancestral Temple!

It was the Primordial Spirit Realm!

"Hey! What manner of Demon Path! Dare to trespass my Divine Court! Begone!"

Zheng Jian let out a thunderous shout, spewing lightning from his mouth and shooting light from his eyes, flinging his hand to unleash a vast swath of sword energy thunderbolts, blasting the blood water apart! Simultaneously, his entire body erupted with Daoist energy, forming a thick Qi Wall, which wholly repelled the blood water seeping into the Ancestral Temple!

"Hehehe" "Seems like Demon Suppression Divine Skill." "Hehehe" "Turns out it’s from Shangqing Dao." "Hahaha" "Must be a Heng Mountain disciple." "Jiejie" "Prepared for five hundred years indeed."

Amidst the waves of laughter, blood shadows rose from the blood sea, giggling, shaking their heads, swaying like reeds on a bloody lake, sending waves of blood wind, crashing into the Qi Wall, shaking it as if it would collapse!

"Hmph, Blood Talisman Demon Sect! Evil Demons and Heretics! Dare to disturb my Daoist Heart! Die!"

Zheng Jian leapt onto the eaves of the Ancestral Temple, pinching the formula and casting spells, glaring with wide eyes, spewing out Green Qi from the top of his head, and summoning an Emperor Bell magic treasure!

The magic bell was entirely dark green, neither gold nor jade, about nine inches high, with a dragon crouching atop the bell, its coiled body forming the handlebar, its head upturned, holding the bell, shaped like a dragon bearing a bell, with external talismans bearing cloud seal and thunder patterns and internally inscribed with the True Scripture of Shangqing Great Cavern. Just its appearance repelled the surrounding blood light back several yards!

"Hold the Emperor Bell, casting fire across thousands of miles, the flowing bell echoes in the eight directions!"

Zheng Jian shouted, shielded by Subduing Demon True Qi, leaping into the air, grabbing the Emperor Bell, stepping on Gang Dou, waving the Sword technique,

"The original chaos undivided, a single Qi first sounds! Yin and Yang separate, banishing evil spirits! Heavenly King’s decree, pacify your heart’s domain——!"

"Ding! Ding! Dong!"

With just three rings of the bell, the soundwaves mixed with the overwhelming Qi Wave, rippling outwards, blasting the sky full of blood light into ashes, shattering and dispersing the blood sea, a swarm of Blood God’s Sons like headless flies, wailing and howling, fleeing in all directions, clearing the universe in a short while, revealing the bright Qiankun.

"Evil spirits! If you have any skill left, go ahead and try it!"

Staring at the quickly receding blood tide, Zheng Jian let out a cold snort, holding the Emperor Bell, standing on the roof of the Ancestral Temple, cautiously scanning with his Divine Sense to guard against hidden evil demons around.

And those blood qi, blood light, and Blood God’s Sons, like a storm tornado, gathered into a crimson storm, revealing a demon-shaped Dharma Manifestation in the sky,

"Hehe! True Man has quite the skill, quite the means, quite the magic treasure! Even the Blood God’s Son’s great method can’t best you. I reckon your excellency has been reincarnated at least twice and received the True Inheritor of the Inner Sect, only then to be an undercover in the Zheng family!"

Zheng Jian coldly replied,

"Able to counterattack with the Blood God’s Son upon dying, able to disrupt my Daoist Heart with my granddaughter, how exactly did you calculate my true self!"

The Blood Demon laughed softly,

"What’s so difficult about this, when I received that seal augmented to 600 stones from the Assistant General, I knew the position of the Chief Clerk wasn’t meant for me, after all.

The Immortal Palace has its protocols, even if facing annihilation, it couldn’t possibly rush to produce something overnight, not even the greatest Divine Calculator could predict that I would suddenly decide to emerge. So that seal was likely pre-decided and meant for someone else.

Merely, that Assistant General’s associates also suddenly decided, deliberately awarded the Chief Clerk Seal, meant for others, to me, just to provoke a battle between two tigers, so they could reap the benefits.

Those with such privileges, enticed and promised by the Assistant General ahead of time, relying on them to connect locals after sweeping the Nangong Family, would be none other than the Four Great Families.

That Liu family’s orphan widow are fish on the chopping board, Young Master Cui, though at the Golden Core Realm, still lacked the qualifications to join the table, so I tampered slightly, using different handwriting in letters to those two elders, and spotting the forged incriminating letter, I figured it was you, the precursor of the Zheng family, orchestrating from the shadows.

You schemed thoroughly, preparing Six Beasts Frenzy Blood Pill, plotting the rise of the four families, to slaughter the entire Nangong Household, sparing no effort, no wonder you could earn the position of Chief Clerk. I suppose this place, the Xiaoyao Sect’s forbidden ground, was watched by your Heng Mountain, and intentionally leaked to Nangong, to stash their treasures right under your watchful eyes, wasn’t it." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Zheng Jian coldly replied,

"You, the Demon Head, are indeed adept at scheming, having discovered my presence, knowing I was shadowing you, yet deliberately led me into the forbidden area for treasure, with the intent to use Blood God’s Son’s great method to seize my Dao Body in a reversal at the final moment.

What I don’t understand is, throughout my scrutiny, when exactly did you plant that demon head under my very nose?"
