Chapter 3478: The Blood Soul Sect’s Conflict

Three days later, as dusk approached, Ye Bufan and his group finally arrived at Blood Soul Valley.

This was the Blood Soul Sect's stronghold, and as one of the Four Great Sects of the Dark Sky Domain, it was heavily guarded, making it impossible for ordinary people to approach.

From a distance, it appeared as a valley completely covered by blood-red mist.

Moreover, there were faint fluctuations of a Formation, clearly indicating the presence of a mountain-protecting Formation.

"Ye Dage, what should we do? Should we just charge in?"

Xiao Qing waved the massive wolf tooth club in her hand, full of Battle Intent.

Ye Bufan shook his head, "Not yet, let's observe the situation first."

With their current strength, they could easily wipe out the Blood Soul Sect; after all, Jin Mei'er's cultivation alone was enough to make her unstoppable here.

However, based on what Shi Qianhan had said earlier, the Blood Soul Sect treated Situ Dianmo quite well, so charging in directly might not be appropriate.

Leng Qingqiu said, "How about I go in and check?"

"No need, this kind of thing is most suitable for me."

Ye Bufan rejected Leng Qingqiu's suggestion. Although she was now an Immortal King Early Stage and stronger than him, when it came to stealth, no Cultivation Technique could compare to Chaotic Immortal Essence, especially with a large Formation guarding the outside.

"You all return to the Dragon King Palace first!"

To stealthily infiltrate Blood Soul Valley, the fewer people, the better.

Ye Bufan sent the three back to the Dragon King Palace, then his figure slowly became ethereal, merging with the surrounding night.

Chaos gives birth to all things, and at the same time, it can simulate the aura of anything.

As long as he didn't make a move, even an Immortal King wouldn't be able to detect his presence without intentionally searching.

Ye Bufan concealed his figure and slowly approached Blood Soul Valley. Upon reaching the mountain gate, he carefully observed the mountain-protecting Formation.

Although it was a ninth-tier Formation, it still couldn't stop him from entering.

Ye Bufan's figure flickered, silently merging into the blood-red mist, passing through the mountain-protecting Formation, and entering Blood Soul Valley.

This was the Blood Soul Sect's headquarters, vast and expansive, with countless pavilions and towers of all sizes.

He found an unoccupied corner and directly used One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones.

Two Dao Bodies went left and right, while he himself went straight ahead. Three people searching were much more efficient than one.

Inside the main hall in the center of Blood Soul Valley, seven or eight people were seated, discussing matters.

Seated at the head was Sect Master Xue Ruyan, an incredibly beautiful young woman.

Although her cultivation had also reached the Immortal Ghost King Late Stage, she had only just achieved this Realm, making her slightly weaker than the other three Sect Masters.

At this moment, she frowned slightly, her expression serious.

Beside her sat an extremely beautiful woman, her flawless face filled with indifference, revealing no inner thoughts. This was Situ Dianmo, who had Ascended from Earth.

Opposite them were several other people, including Grand Elder Xue Ying, Second Elder Blood Slaughter, Third Elder Xue Ruhai, and several other powerhouses within the Sect.

Grand Elder Xue Ying's face was filled with worry: "Tomorrow is the Ghost King Sect's final deadline. Today, we must discuss and come up with a plan."

"What's there to discuss?"

Second Elder Blood Slaughter was filled with righteous indignation, "The Young Sect Master is now a member of our Blood Soul Sect. What is the Ghost King Sect? Why should we hand over our person?"

Third Elder Xue Ruhai revealed a cold smile: "Second Elder, what you're saying isn't right!

Normally, we shouldn't hand over our person, but now the Ghost King Sect is powerful, much stronger than our Blood Soul Sect.

If we don't hand over our person, it might bring disaster upon our Sect. Do you think it's worth destroying our entire Sect for one person?"

He spoke with righteous indignation, seemingly entirely from the Sect's perspective, but in reality, he had his own hidden agenda.

Originally, before Situ Dianmo appeared, his Grandson, Xue Kun, was the most outstanding among the younger generation and the most popular candidate to become the next Sect Master's successor.

However, everything changed after Situ Dianmo arrived. The Blood Spirit Body was a legendary Physique.

Aside from the Blood Soul Sect's Ancestral Master, it had never appeared again since.

Precisely because of this, she was directly appointed as the next Sect Master's successor due to her exceptional Physique.

Xue Ruhai was naturally unwilling to let his Grandson lose the successor's position like this, so he secretly leaked the news to the Ghost King Sect.

In other words, the current situation was entirely his doing, all to eliminate Situ Dianmo.

All of this was done silently, and others were unaware.

Blood Slaughter, with his straightforward personality, was unaware of the hidden trickery behind the scenes, yet he was filled with indignation.

"What if they're strong? We still can't yield!

The Young Sect Master has the Blood Spirit Body. She has only Ascended for a few months and has already reached the Peak of the True Ghost Immortal Realm.

This talent is unprecedented in our Blood Soul Sect. How could such a person, who is the hope of our Sect, be handed over to the Ghost King Sect?"

Grand Elder Xue Ying nodded slightly: "As far as I know, the Ghost King is interested in Dianmo's Blood Spirit Body and wants to use her Bloodline to Break through his current Bottleneck."

"That's even more unacceptable!"

Blood Slaughter shouted, "Now the entire Dark Sky Domain knows that Dianmo is our Young Sect Master. If she's taken by the Ghost King Sect as a sacrifice, where will our Blood Soul Sect's face be?"

"Second Elder, we understand what you're saying, but the Ghost King Sect's strength is evident. What do you want us to do?"

Xue Ruhai spoke methodically, "Everyone has seen the Young Sect Master's talent; it's obvious to all. She is indeed the future hope of our Sect.

But so what? That hope is for a thousand years from now, while the crisis is upon us now.

If we don't resolve the Ghost King Sect issue, let alone leading the Sect to rise, we might face total annihilation.

If there's no Blood Soul Sect left, what's the point of talking about hope?"

Blood Slaughter was filled with righteous indignation: "That's still not right! I, Blood Slaughter, would rather die standing than live kneeling! If the Ghost King Sect comes, I'm willing to fight to the death!"

Xue Ruhai sneered: "Foolish bravery. What if you die? Will that resolve the Sect's crisis? At that time, the Blood Soul Sect will still be buried with you!

Now, as long as we hand over the person, out of respect for the Four Great Sects, the Blood Soul Sect will be safe.

There will always be more Geniuses in the future, and plenty of opportunities for development. There's no need to hit a rock with an egg!"

"Bah! You're just a coward!"

"You're just a brainless idiot!"

The two exchanged words, their faces flushed, on the verge of an argument.

"Enough!"

Xue Ruyan spoke, "I want you to discuss how to respond, not to quarrel."

With the Sect Master's words, the two immediately calmed down considerably, but still glared at each other.

Xue Ruyan frowned slightly. To be honest, she couldn't make up her mind, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Handing over Situ Dianmo, this rare Blood Spirit Body, would be a huge loss for the Sect and a complete humiliation.

But if she didn't, the Blood Soul Sect's strength was simply no match for the Ghost King Sect.

After all, she had only just reached the Immortal Ghost King Late Stage, and the strength gap compared to the Ghost King was too vast.

If things really escalated into a fight, even if the Blood Soul Sect wasn't annihilated, it would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Seeing that the Sect Master couldn't make a decision, Xue Ruhai's eyes darted around.

"Sect Leader, if you're troubled, I do have a solution."

Xue Ruyan's eyes gleamed: "What solution?"
