Internal Affairs Hall.

“Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Wu Chang from the Blood River Elder’s sect has exceeded the mission deadline. I just checked the divine sense bead and found that the divine sense left by Senior Brother Wu is dim and lifeless. He should have been killed.”

Upon hearing the words of his subordinate disciple, Shen Gengyuan showed a surprised expression.

Previously, when Zhang Chen returned, he did not think much of it. He only thought that Zhang Chen had escaped Wu Chang’s attack.

‘Did something happen to Wu Chang, or was he plotted against by an enemy?’

Shen Gengyuan thought for a moment and said, “Go to Blood River Peak and tell Elder Blood River about Wu Chang’s death.”

‘Yes.”

Looking at his subordinate leaving, Shen Gengyuan muttered under his breath,

“This Zhang Chen is a bit strange!”

The same thing happened to Wen Xiaosu before, who was assigned a task and then died after leaving the sect.

It was worth mentioning that he had arranged for a direct disciple at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm to go on a mission to Shanyue Kingdom. The mission had also failed.

The moment the direct disciple of the ninth level Foundation Establishment realm entered Shanyue Kingdom, he was besieged by the Silver Moon Clan and almost couldn’t come back.

Although he did come back, he also lost a lot of blood essence and his cultivation level plummeted.

Recently, the Blood God Sect Master and a few elders had been discussing how to retaliate against the Silver Moon Sect.

Fifteen minutes later, inside the cave of Blood River Peak.

The bat demon bowed respectfully and said, “Master, someone from the Internal Affairs Hall just came to report that Wu Chang was killed on a mission.”

Elder Blood River asked in a deep voice, “What mission did Wu Chang accept?”

“He was sent to sit in the market for a year,” the bat demon answered with a bow.

“This mission is not dangerous. Our Blood God Sect is good at escaping danger. How could Wu Chang, who had a cultivation level of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, die?” Elder Blood River’s face darkened.

All his planning during this period of time was for naught.

It was like planting a fruit tree with great effort, and it was about to bear fruit and then suddenly being told that the tree had been cut down.

It was normal for Zhang Chen to escape with the Blood Light Escape Technique he had given him. The Blood River Elder did not think it was Zhang Chen’s doing.

How could a newly promoted cultivator at the second level of Foundation Establishment kill someone at the ninth level?

The bat demon kept his head bowed and dared not speak.

After a while, Elder Blood River squinted and said, “My eldest disciple has been delayed enough. Let him put aside everything and focus on breaking through to the Core Formation stage.”

“Yes.” The bat demon accepted the order and left.

At the same time, Hong Longguang and the others also received news of Wu Chang’s death.

“I didn’t expect Wu Chang to die!”

Hong Longguang was extremely surprised. He had a blood exchange transaction with Zhang Chen and naturally paid attention to Wu Chang’s news.

He thought that Wu Chang would come back soon after Zhang Chen returned, but half a year passed, and all they got was the news of Wu Chang’s death.

The mortality rate of the direct disciples of the Blood God Sect was actually very low. The immortal properties of the Blood Body, coupled with the Blood Escape technique, even if they couldn’t win a fight, they could still escape.

Moreover, Wu Chang was at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and no one thought he would die.

“I wanted to wait for Wu Chang to break through to the Golden Core stage before considering whether to form my core. With this situation, I’m afraid my master will urge me to form my core! ”

Just as Hong Longguang said that, he heard the bat demon’s voice coming from outside the cave abode.

“Is Eldest Senior Brother here? I’m here on Master’s orders.”

Hong Longguang looked at the departing bat demon with a solemn expression.

Elder Blood River had asked him to form his core more than once, but he had resolved it and delayed it. He was only able to do it after Wu Chang broke through to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

Now, he had only a few decades of life left, and his second junior sister was only at the seventh level of Foundation Building. He couldn’t delay it any longer.

The matter of being killed when forming the core was just a guess. More importantly, forming the core was not an easy task, and success was not guaranteed.

Perhaps he could try to form his core. Even if he failed, there was still a chance. If he waited until he had no life left, forming his core would be a matter of life and death.

Forming the core required a large amount of essence blood, which still depended on Zhang Chen.

Thinking of this, Hong Longguang decided to get closer to Zhang Chen first.

“Is Seventh Junior Brother here?”

Zhang Chen walked out of the cave abode and bowed. “Eldest Senior Brother, what’s the matter?”

Hong Longguang smiled amiably, “Seventh junior brother, Wu Chang is dead, and you can rest easy in the future.”

“Wu Chang is dead?” Zhang Chen feigned surprise.

Hong Longguang didn’t care whether Zhang Chen knew or not.

“I am going to break through to the Golden Core stage next, and won’t be able to manage the Beast Garden affairs anymore. Only you and your senior sister and senior brother are too busy. I hope the seventh junior brother can participate in the Beast Garden affairs again.”

“This is my duty.” Zhang Chen nodded in agreement.

“Core Formation requires a large amount of blood essence. I wonder if I can exchange more blood essence with Seventh Junior Brother?” Hong Longguang smiled in embarrassment.

Zhang Chen thought about it and decided to give Hong Longguang face, but he still showed a conflicted expression. “How about exchanging for five more bowls of blood essence every day in the future?”

In the past, he had found someone to exchange for it. Now that his strength, identity, and resources were different, it was someone else who begged him to exchange for it.

“Thank you, Seventh Junior Brother.” Hong Longguang did not push his luck and stopped while he was ahead.

“Eldest Senior Brother, you’re too polite. Coincidentally, I have something to ask of you.”

“Seventh Junior Brother, please speak.”

“I want to know who arranged the mission for me in the Internal Affairs Hall.”

His few sect missions had been secretly handled. Although he knew that the Internal Affairs Hall was paid to do things , he still hated it.

Moreover, who knew if the people from the Internal Affairs Hall would be afraid of his revenge and deliberately arrange a mission for him to die.

It was better to find an opportunity to strike first. While resolving the hidden danger, he could also obtain blood essence and other wealth. Why not?

“In recent years, the Internal Affairs Hall has been managed by Shen Gengyuan. He’s the fifth disciple of the sect master and reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm 60 years ago. However, don’t worry, Seventh Junior Brother. I’ll seek justice for you.”

Hong Longguang knew that Zhang Chen must have hated the Internal Affairs Hall because of the mission he had arranged.

Now that he was preparing to form his core, no matter if he succeeded or failed, he might not live for long. He might as well give Zhang Chen face and stand up for him. Perhaps he could exchange for more blood essence. “Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother.” Zhang Chen did not refuse.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

“Take care, Senior Brother.”

After watching Hong Longguang leave, Zhang Chen thought for a moment before transforming into a blood light and flying towards the Technique Impartation Pavilion.

He had many methods, but most of them could not be exposed.

For example, it was impossible to reveal all the strongest Blood God Sons in the sect.

Therefore, magic techniques were still a little too poor.

The others did not dare to practice too many cultivation techniques because they were afraid that the side effects of the cultivation technique would stack. He was not afraid. Instead, the more, the better.

Speaking of which, it had been a few years since he went to the Technique Impartation Pavilion to exchange for cultivation techniques.

An hour later, Zhang Chen returned to the cave abode with a cultivation method jade slip in his hand.

[Detected cultivation technique, Blood Spirit Technique. Use a secret technique to refine the blood of a demon beast and give the demon beast spirituality to its blood.]

[Side effect: It will be affected by the demonic nature in the blood, and its habits will gradually become demonic.]

[Please wait a moment, system modification is in progress…]

[Ding! Modification complete. Side effects canceled.]

Wen Xiaosu, who was killed by him, cultivated this cultivation technique..
