Chapter 478: Eavesdropping
"Somebody come!"
Enraged, Yinma Demon Lord roared.
Swish swish!
A group of people immediately appeared before Yinma Demon Lord, kneeling on one knee with utmost loyalty!
Upon closer inspection, one can see that each of them is at the Saintly stage of cultivation. Although most of them seem to have just broken through and are somewhat unstable, they are still Saints after all.
The strongest among them is at the fifth level of the Saintly Realm!
"You've been raising an army for a thousand days to use it for one. The Demon Realm has given you resources and made you all stronger. Now it's time for you to show your loyalty," the Yinma Demon Lord sneered.
"Please give your orders, Demon Lord!"
Everyone responded in unison.
"Alright, the plan has changed. Speed things up and make sure your 'Evil Cultivator Alliance' reappears within a month!"
"Then turn the Xuan Tian Realm upside down!"
Yinma Demon Lord spoke calmly, his eyes flashing with a ferocious glint.
The Evil Cultivator Alliance, a massive force cultivated over tens of thousands of years by his predecessor, the Rainbow Demon Lord, possesses remarkable resilience, and is even more so than that...
One of the forces within the evil cultivation alliance, the "Blood Soul Holy Sect," survived because it pretended to be a traitor thousands of years ago and defected to the other side before the war!
They even became a spy and a thorn in the side's side! In the present world, probably not many people remember how powerful the "Evil Cultivator Alliance" was. What would happen if this "surprise force" suddenly appeared and wreaked havoc in human territory?
The Demon Lord of the Yin Horse is a fun concept to even think about.
How dare a lackey of the celestial realm shatter his Styx Cocoon?
Let the Xuan Tian Realm be burned to the ground by war and littered with corpses!
"As ordered!"
The group accepted the order and immediately disappeared, each becoming a fleeting shadow.
……
Gu Heng crouched in a bush.
He arrived at the edge of a small basin within the Ancient Flower Mountains. From there, he could see several people in red robes standing in the basin below.
Before them lay a pool of blood, not particularly large, but enough to hold a dozen or so people; its depth was unknown. Bubbling and a foul stench rose from the pool, as if someone were adding firewood to boil water underneath…
This distance was considered a safe distance by Gu Heng.
If he goes any further in, what if one of those red-robed men has sharp eyes or knows some of the detection methods used by cultivators... then he will be exposed.
He's been exposed; he either has to fight or run away.
But no matter what he chooses, he'll never know what secrets these people are up to. Of course, if he fights and wins, he might be able to capture one or two people alive for interrogation.
But he didn't know any interrogation techniques, and Gu Heng really didn't like doing that kind of thing.
Not to mention these guys, just looking at them makes you feel disgusted and repulsed.
"This flesh and blood should be enough, and the formation has been set up. Once the time is right, the formation will be activated..."
A man in red robes stared at the blood pool and said, "Well, we've killed all the monsters and wild beasts in this Ancient Flower Mountain Range. If that's not enough, we'll just have to go and explore the surrounding villages and towns."
Another person said.
These words startled Gu Heng, who quickly shrank even further into the shadows.
What exactly are these people up to?
Also, what exactly are these "array formations" they're talking about?
And from what they said, it seemed they had slaughtered everything that could move in the mountains, and it even seemed they planned to massacre villages and towns!
Gu Heng did not act rashly and continued to listen carefully for a while.
He discovered that these people's conversations were almost entirely focused on the blood pool, and their remarks included things like "the demon race's offensive momentum has been slowed down" and "they will need to take action soon," etc.
This seems to be an extremely large and insidious scheme!
Gu Heng silently pricked up his ears and continued to listen.
“I never thought we would have to cooperate with the demon race. I’ve always wanted to capture some demons, dissect them, and see why they are born with such great power.”
A man in a red robe clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Don't cause trouble. We all serve the same master now. We share the same fate. If that master blames us, neither of us can afford to suffer the consequences."
The seemingly mature and composed red-robed leader spoke coldly, refuting his subordinates' lack of unity.
Once he spoke, the other men in red robes fell silent.
"Alright, there's no need to argue about this. Now that the important business is done, let's get back to business as soon as possible."
The red-robed leader frowned and waved his hand to stop the crowd from making a fuss again. But at that moment, a plume of bloody smoke flew in from the sky and landed quickly before everyone's eyes, revealing yet another red-robed man.
See this scene.
Gu Heng narrowed his eyes.
Sure enough, the wisp of blood smoke was indeed strange, but he really didn't expect it to be a person.
Turning into a wisp of smoke and flying around, this is a technique that only cultivators know, and Gu Heng actually really wanted to learn it.
"Things aren't looking good."
As soon as the man in red robes landed, he said to the leader, "The Eastern Frontier Alliance may soon discover that we are here."
"what?"
The expressions of the other men in red robes all changed.
Did the Eastern Frontier Alliance become aware of their actions here?
"Don't panic!"
Upon hearing this, the red-robed leader's face immediately darkened, and he glared fiercely at everyone. The leader was indeed worthy of being a leader, Gu Heng thought to himself. As soon as he spoke, no one else would panic anymore.
"Tell me, what happened?"
“I just killed a Nascent Soul cultivator on the main road on the east side of the Ancient Flower Mountain Range. That old man had the token of the Eastern Frontier Alliance on him, so he didn’t come here for no reason!”
The man in the red robe continued, "I think we can't stay here any longer!"
Upon hearing this, the red-robed leader's expression changed slightly. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Hmm, that makes sense. If one comes, a second might follow."
"Alright, let's go back and report. Also, get the snake-summoning bell and call that snake back. If that thing gets lost, we wouldn't have enough lives to survive."
The leader in red robes made a decision.
"Yes."
A man in a red robe immediately took out a small bell and began to ring it.
But after shaking it many times, no snakes came out. At this point, the red-robed leader's expression turned a little strange.
Where is the snake?
What about that Netherworld Serpent that went to absorb blood essence?
However, the red-robed leader couldn't think about this anymore, because he suddenly saw a figure stand up from the bushes above the basin!
There's someone there?!
And yet they never noticed?!
The red-robed leader's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints.
"Who?"
The leader in red robes demanded an explanation, and at the same time, the other red-robed men drew their weapons and looked warily at the figure.
But his response was an arrow flying through the air!
