Chapter 213 : A Sudden Turn of Events, the Blood Demons Run Rampant
Chapter 213: A Sudden Turn of Events, the Blood Demons Run Rampant
One month later, in Taiji Cave at the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak.
Lu Xueqi was continuously channeling her power into the Demonic Armor before her.
As her power flowed into it, the originally dark aura covering the Demonic Armor was gradually replaced by radiant white immortal power, leaving only one tiny area where faint traces of darkness still lingered.
Lu Xueqi knew that today would be the day she completely refined this Demonic Armor.
She concentrated fully, continuously pouring the power of the Dao of Creation together with her spiritual energy into the Demonic Armor.
As the power continued flowing in, the last remnants of the dark power were rapidly expelled and purified.
Finally, with a soft puchi sound, the dark aura on the Demonic Armor vanished completely, and the entire armor emitted a faint, luminous glow.
At that moment, Lu Xueqi slowly opened her eyes, and an involuntary smile appeared on her face.
She had spent more than a month solely to refine this Demonic Armor, and now she had finally succeeded.
However, she knew that the refining process was not yet complete. She still needed to imprint her own mark into the armor and infuse it with the Power of Laws she had comprehended.
After resting briefly and recovering some of her strength, Lu Xueqi immediately merged her Spiritual Power into the core of the Demonic Armor and began engraving her personal mark.
The moment the imprint was completed, the Demonic Armor established a close connection with her, allowing it to be stored within her body at will and summoned whenever she desired.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi nodded in satisfaction.
After pondering briefly, the power within her body surged as the Dao of Creation and the Spacetime Law instantly poured into the Demonic Armor, beginning the inscription of the Laws.
As the inscription progressed, the somewhat unsightly Demonic Armor was completely transformed, becoming a silver-white suit of armor overflowing with immortal radiance.
“This can no longer be called Demonic Armor. It should be called Immortal Armor,” Lu Xueqi thought to herself.
After the inscription of the Laws was complete, with a single thought, the Immortal Armor covered her body.
Immediately afterward, silver light flashed, and the Immortal Armor transformed into the appearance of the clothes she usually wore.
The Immortal Armor already possessed astonishing defensive power. After integrating the power of the two Great Laws, not only had its defenses become even stronger, but it had also gained the power to pierce through spacetime. Its might now surpassed what it had possessed in Miexin's hands.
Lu Xueqi was overjoyed. With this armor, it would be impossible for any opponent below the Immortal Grade to instantly kill her unless they possessed power beyond the Immortal Grade,
or could completely exhaust all the power within her body.
After trying on the armor, Lu Xueqi's thoughts stirred. A flash of silver light passed, and she instantly appeared at the front mountain of Xiaozhu Peak.
After sensing it carefully, she discovered that the Immortal Armor was powered by her own Power of Laws. It was extremely easy to control, and its consumption of spiritual energy was negligible, far from the enormous expenditure Miexin had experienced while using it.
Just as she was about to return to the back mountain to continue her closed-door cultivation, Senior Sister Wen Min hurriedly flew over from outside the mountain.
The moment she saw Lu Xueqi, Wen Min's eyes lit up as she loudly called out, “Junior Sister Lu, so you're here! Perfect, I was just looking for you!”
Lu Xueqi was slightly startled. Before she could even ask what had happened, Wen Min quickly stepped forward, grabbed her by the arm, and hurried toward the discussion hall of Xiaozhu Peak.
“Senior Sister, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?” Lu Xueqi quickly asked.
Wen Min wore a solemn expression as she said gravely, “Junior Sister, several Blood Demons with tremendous strength have suddenly appeared across the Divine Continent. The moment they appeared, they began slaughtering living beings on a massive scale. Quite a number of cities have already suffered complete destruction.”
Lu Xueqi's expression changed dramatically as she asked, “Senior Sister, has the Qingyun Sect dispatched disciples down the mountain to eliminate the demons?”
Wen Min nodded dejectedly. “During the month you were in closed-door cultivation, the sect sent many disciples down the mountain, but after encountering the Blood Demons, none of them ever returned. Even the elders leading the teams, who were in the Upper Purity Realm, were unable to escape. The matter has become extremely troublesome. That's why I came to find you, so we can meet Master together and discuss a solution.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi frowned deeply.
According to the original story, Blood Demons should not have appeared at this point in time.
She remembered that after the great war between the Qingyun Sect and the Demonic Sect, there had been a decade of peace before conflict resumed due to the appearance of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.
Now that the Blood Demons had suddenly appeared, what exactly was the reason?
However, the situation was urgent. She had no time to think further and quickly followed Wen Min toward the main hall.
When Lu Xueqi and Wen Min arrived at the discussion hall, Master Shuiyue was sitting in her chair with tightly furrowed brows, seemingly deep in thought over an important matter.
Hearing the movement outside the hall, she looked up. The moment she saw Lu Xueqi and Wen Min, her eyes immediately brightened, and she happily stood up.
“Xueqi, you've come out of seclusion!”
Lu Xueqi nodded in response.
“Master, I just came out of seclusion.”
Master Shuiyue nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Wen Min could not help but complain playfully, “Master, there's still a living person standing here too!”
Master Shuiyue smiled.
“Wen Min, you seem to be in quite a hurry. Is there something important to report?”
Wen Min sighed helplessly.
Although she knew she could not compare to Lu Xueqi, such obvious preferential treatment still left her feeling a little uncomfortable.
However, remembering the important matter at hand, she immediately became serious.
“Master, Martial Uncle has sent word. The Blood Demons at the foot of Qingyun Mountain have become even more rampant. This time, Elder Shuiyun, who led the team, was also killed by the Blood Demons. Sect Leader Martial Uncle has asked you to go to the Jade Purity Hall to discuss countermeasures.”
Upon hearing this, Master Shuiyue immediately understood. (For an exhilarating reading experience, visit!)
She knew that Dao Xuan was hardly inviting her to discuss the matter. He clearly wanted Lu Xueqi to take action.
Lu Xueqi also discerned her Martial Uncle's intentions from her master's expression and took the initiative to say, “Master, why don't I accompany you to the Jade Purity Hall?”
Master Shuiyue did not refuse and nodded.
“It would be good if you came. This time, I'm afraid we'll need your help.”
Lu Xueqi calmly nodded.
Soon afterward, the two of them flew toward the Jade Purity Hall on their flying swords.
During the journey, Lu Xueqi sensed that Master Shuiyue had already broken through to the Sixth Level of the Upper Purity Realm. She felt pleased, but also thought it was still far from enough.
After thinking for a moment, she said, “Master, I've refined some medicinal pills that can increase one's strength. They should help you break through. Once we return from the Jade Purity Hall, refine them as soon as possible and improve your cultivation.”
As she spoke, a Storage Ring flew out from her hand.
Master Shuiyue accepted the ring. After inspecting it with her Divine Sense, she said in surprise, “Disciple, aren't these medicinal pills a bit too many?”
Lu Xueqi shook her head and explained, “Master, these medicinal pills don't just improve cultivation. There are also pills that assist cultivation and heal injuries. You may find them useful in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Master Shuiyue sighed inwardly with emotion, feeling more than ever that taking Lu Xueqi as her disciple had been the best decision she had ever made.
When they arrived at the Jade Purity Hall, Daoxuan and the Peak Chiefs of the various peaks were already present.
The moment they saw Lu Xueqi and Master Shuiyue, everyone's eyes lit up.
They had previously heard that Lu Xueqi was in closed-door cultivation, so none of them had dared disturb her over the Blood Demon incident.
Now that she had appeared, they knew her seclusion had ended, and they were secretly delighted.
After all, the Blood Demons were wreaking havoc below the mountain. If they were not dealt with quickly, the Divine Continent would become a land of endless suffering.
After entering the hall, Master Shuiyue nodded to Daoxuan and the others before taking her seat as the Peak Chief of Xiaozhu Peak.
Lu Xueqi stepped forward and bowed.
“Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak greets Martial Uncle Daoxuan and all Martial Uncles.”
Daoxuan warmly stood up.
“Martial Niece Xueqi, there's no need to be so courteous. Please, have a seat!”
He specifically had someone bring over a chair and gestured for Lu Xueqi to sit beside him.
This action surprised Lu Xueqi somewhat. After all, Daoxuan had placed her in a seat nearly equal to his own, yet none of the other Peak Chiefs objected.
Lu Xueqi did not dwell on it further and quietly took her seat, listening to the arrangements.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Daoxuan spoke.
“I've invited everyone here today to discuss the matter of the Blood Demons.”
He looked toward Lu Xueqi.
“Martial Niece Lu, you may not yet understand the situation, so let me explain it first.”
Lu Xueqi nodded gratefully.
“Thank you, Martial Uncle.”
Daoxuan continued,
“Over ten days ago, five top experts suddenly appeared in the Central Plains.
They first began gathering information about our side before targeting the major cities.
These people are extremely cruel. They drain blood and refine souls, creating one bloody massacre after another.
After learning of this, the Qingyun Sect, Tianyin Temple, and Burning Incense Valley successively sent people to investigate, but none of them ever returned.
This old Daoist personally sent Elder Shuiyun, who was at the Second Level of the Upper Purity Realm, together with more than a dozen disciples. Unexpectedly, they too all perished at the hands of the Blood Demons.”
As Daoxuan continued speaking, the atmosphere within the hall grew increasingly solemn.
Everyone knew Elder Shuiyun's strength. If even he had led a team only to have every member wiped out, it was clear just how grave the Blood Demon incident truly was.
