Chapter 1023: The War Against The Blood Sect
The Slaughtered Moon Divine Blood Sect had never imagined something like this could happen.
For hundreds of thousands of years they had stood atop the Blood Continent as absolute rulers. Even when rebellions happened in the past, they had always been crushed quickly and brutally. Their enemies hid in the shadows like frightened rats while the Blood Sect itself ruled openly beneath the Bleeding Moon.
Never...
Not even once...
Had anyone dared launch a full scale assault directly against the sect itself.
And now it was happening.
Not merely an attack.
A war.
A true war meant to exterminate them.
The Peak Heads and elders who had gathered in the Grand Hall finally realized the truth. The Ashen Moon Remnants had stopped hiding. After years of schemes, sabotage, assassinations and infiltrations...
They had finally revealed themselves openly.
The Jiangshi that burst into the hall were instantly obliterated by the gathered experts. Blood Qi surged violently while techniques exploded one after another. The stronger Peak Heads destroyed the Jiangshi so thoroughly that even fragments failed to remain.
Yet no one felt relieved afterward.
Because the moment they stepped outside... They saw hell itself.
Explosions continued erupting all across the sect nonstop. Flames and smoke filled the skies while screams echoed from every direction. Entire buildings collapsed. Peaks burned. Formation arrays flickered erratically.
And worst of all the Jiangshi had truly turned against them.
Everywhere they looked, disciples were being slaughtered by the very creations they trusted most. A group of inner court disciples tried desperately to fend off their own Jiangshi guards only for two Nascent Soul equivalent Jiangshi to detonate themselves directly amidst them.
BOOOOM!
Blood and flesh exploded across the mountain path instantly.
Another elder fought desperately against a Dao Shell equivalent Jiangshi only for three more to ambush him from behind while dozens of weaker Jiangshi swarmed forward fearlessly.
The terrifying thing about Jiangshi was not merely their strength. It was the fact that they felt no fear, no hesitation, no pain.
They attacked endlessly and if they failed to kill their enemies normally... They simply exploded.
And every explosion dragged countless people into death alongside them.
The weaker Jiangshi already caused devastating losses.
The stronger ones were even worse.
Nascent Soul equivalent Jiangshi tore through entire formations of disciples while several Dao Shell equivalent Jiangshi rampaged through smaller peaks like monsters unleashed from ancient prisons.
The Blood Sect’s members were strong.
Their numbers were enormous.
Millions of disciples and servants lived within the sect.
But the Jiangshi population was even more absurd.
The Slaughtered Moon Divine Blood Sect relied heavily upon Jiangshi labor and military force. Over countless years their numbers had grown beyond imagination. There were more than twice as many Jiangshi as actual sect members.
And even if only seventy percent were secretly under Han Yu’s control...
That still meant the enemy force inside the sect exceeded the sect population itself.
Combined with the invading armies flooding through the breached barriers, the battle immediately tilted into terrifying chaos. For the first time in countless generations, the Blood Sect was losing ground inside its own territory.
Han Yu stood amidst the battlefield while watching the war erupt fully.
The air shook endlessly from techniques and explosions while the night sky glowed crimson from blood Qi and burning structures.
Then Han Yu gave the next order.
"All Dao Treading realm experts focus on their elders and Peak Heads!" he shouted through the communication arrays. "Do not let them organize!"
The allied forces obeyed instantly as the strongest experts surged forward. And it did not take long before the Blood Sect’s true powerhouses finally appeared. Peak after peak erupted with terrifying auras.
The Peak Heads arrived.
High Elders emerged.
Dao Treading realm experts filled the skies.
The pressure alone caused weaker cultivators below to tremble violently.
Han Yu’s eyes quickly found a familiar figure among them.
The Second Kidney Peak Head.
His master.
The old man floated amidst the skies with terrifying Bone Frost Qi swirling around him while his expression remained furious and murderous.
Han Yu’s chest tightened slightly.
Complicated emotions surged within him.
Gratitude.
Hatred.
Conflict.
The Second Kidney Peak Head had taught him much over the years. The man truly valued Ju Fan and had protected him repeatedly.
Yet Han Yu also knew the truth.
This man had committed countless atrocities throughout his life. Innocents slaughtered. Villages destroyed. Slaves tortured. Entire sect purges carried out personally. The old man had blood covering every inch of his soul.
Han Yu slowly exhaled.
No matter what emotions existed...
This battle could not be avoided.
Madam Cold Fang noticed his hesitation immediately.
"I’ll handle him," she said calmly.
Then her aura exploded outward.
"Cousins with me!"
Several terrifying Frost Bat Clan experts immediately joined her. The remaining pure blooded Frost Bats all surged into the skies together. Every single one of them stood at the Dao Treading realm.
Their ice Qi instantly spread across entire sections of the battlefield.
The temperature plummeted violently.
Frost covered the air itself.
Madam Cold Fang directly intercepted both the Second and First Kidney Peak Heads alongside her clansmen.
The two Peak Heads looked stunned briefly.
They clearly did not recognize Han Yu since he currently used his original body instead of Ju Fan’s appearance.
And for Han Yu that felt better.
He did not wish for his master to recognize him here.
The war erupted completely afterward.
Dao Treading realm experts clashed across the heavens while devastating techniques shattered mountains below. Entire peaks trembled from the aftershocks of their battles. The allied experts proved terrifyingly powerful.
After centuries of hiding and preparing, the enemies of the Blood Sect had accumulated frightening strength.
The Frost Bat Clan alone shocked the Blood Sect heavily.
They had believed the clan extinct long ago.
Now ancient Frost Bat techniques once again illuminated the battlefield beneath the Bleeding Moon.
Han Yu himself charged directly toward a High Elder at the Peak Dao Shell realm.
The elder laughed mockingly immediately.
"A mere Nascent Soul brat dares oppose me?" the man sneered while blood Qi surged violently around his body.
The elder’s aura crushed downward arrogantly.
Yet Han Yu merely stared coldly.
Then his violet eyes activated instantly.
Concentric rings appeared.
"Soul Petrifying Glare."
The High Elder’s expression froze completely.
His soul locked instantly.
And in the very next moment...
SHING!
His head separated from his neck cleanly.
The corpse remained suspended briefly before blood erupted everywhere.
Nearby cultivators froze in shock.
Han Yu did not even pause.
"More will join soon," he muttered coldly.
Years of suppressed rage finally erupted from his heart completely.
Every memory returned vividly.
The purge.
The slaughtered disciples.
The mines.
The humiliation.
The Blood Sect had stolen years from his life.
Now he would repay them in full.
Han Yu transformed into a nightmare across the battlefield.
His Soul Skills proved devastating beyond imagination.
Most cultivators possessed no defenses whatsoever against them.
A Dao Shell elder suddenly screamed while clutching his head before Han Yu’s halberd pierced through his chest. Another expert froze momentarily beneath Soul Petrifying Glare before a hidden Soul Needle destroyed his consciousness instantly.
Even Peak Dao Shell realm cultivators died one after another.
Three of them fell directly to Han Yu within less than half an hour.
The allied cultivators stared at him with disbelief.
They finally understood why the Blood Sect had suffered so much chaos all these years.
Han Yu’s techniques were simply too terrifying.
And then...
A new presence descended.
BOOOOM!
The skies themselves trembled.
An overwhelming blood red aura exploded across the battlefield while pressure descended over entire sections of the sect. Countless cultivators below instinctively looked upward as the battlefield momentarily slowed.
Then a furious roar echoed throughout the heavens.
"WHO DARES!"
Patriarch Hong Tianyue had appeared.
The man stood amidst the skies like an enraged god of slaughter. Blood clouds swirled around him violently while the Bleeding Moon above resonated directly with his aura.
His eyes burned with fury.
And the moment he arrived, several allied Nascent Soul cultivators below instantly coughed blood merely from the pressure.
Han Yu’s expression grew grave immediately.
Because unlike the others...
The Patriarch was different.
This man stood at the very peak of the Blood Continent he was an Immortal Ascension Realm expert!
