Chapter 1 An Uprising

As she spoke, Dian Lian leapt into the air, soaring towards the Blood Sect members like a flying crane.

Lin Qian was stunned, watching her little sister, with whom she had spent over two months, jump so high.

"Yay!"

She couldn't help but shout, but before her cry faded, a thud echoed as Dian Lian came crashing back down, landing heavily on the ground with a groan.

"Hmph, a mere Rudimentary Dao dares to show off in front of me!"

The speaker was a bald, muscular man who had arrived with Shi Kai, possessing the strength of the Golden Core stage.

Dealing with someone like Dian Lian didn't require the Blood Sect Master's personal attention.

There were four others with him, including the Golden Core bald man and three middle-aged men at the peak of the Rudimentary Dao stage.

Their faces were sinister, their eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light. Just by their appearance, it was clear they were not good people.

Shi Kai glanced at Dian Lian with disdain and said, "So, it's a nun from the Lotus Monastery. Later, find twenty strong men and take turns violating her!"

Upon hearing this, Dian Lian's face turned pale, devoid of color.

Lin Qian couldn't help but squeeze her legs together… Good heavens, twenty strong men! Even a donkey from the production team couldn't handle that!

Shi Kai seemed to have known about Dian Lian's presence for a long time but didn't take her seriously. His attention, from the moment he entered, was focused on Chen Xiao.

"May I ask for your esteemed name? What feud or grievance does Your Excellency have with my Blood Sect? Why are you causing trouble here today?"

Shi Kai was neither servile nor overbearing, not directly attacking Chen Xiao, clearly wary of him.

"Just passing by."

Chen Xiao said indifferently, "A mere Blood Sect is not worthy of forming a feud with me!"

"Kid, what the hell are you saying? Are you tired of living?"

The bald man shouted loudly.

"Shut up!"

Shi Kai glared fiercely, and the bald man immediately quieted down.

The Blood Sect Master's pupils constricted, a bloody light flashing in his eyes. He stared at Chen Xiao, suppressing his anger, and said, "In that case, I'll give Your Excellency face and ask you to leave as soon as possible. Don't meddle in other people's business!"

"Heh, sorry, but I've already started meddling in this matter, so naturally, I'll see it through to the end. I don't like to quit halfway."

Chen Xiao stretched lazily, a playful expression on his face.

"Mr. Chen…"

Hearing Chen Xiao's words, Dian Lian was filled with mixed emotions, finally sighing helplessly, "Why bother?"

"Heh, kid, don't think I don't know who you're relying on! You're deliberately stalling for time, waiting for reinforcements, right? I'm telling you, your reinforcements aren't coming!"

Blood Sect Master Shi Kai had an arrogant look on his face.

When Shi Kai mentioned that Chen Xiao had reinforcements, Dian Lian's spirits lifted, but after hearing the last half of Shi Kai's sentence, the hope that had just ignited in Dian Lian was immediately extinguished.

Shi Kai said this, he must have already dealt with Mr. Chen's reinforcements.

"Oh? I have reinforcements?"

Chen Xiao was slightly surprised and looked at Shi Kai. "How come I don't know I have reinforcements?"

"Stop pretending to be confused!"

Shi Kai's lips curled up in disdain. "Your reinforcements are none other than the Evil Exorcism Division!"

Chen Xiao then realized that Shi Kai was referring to the Evil Exorcism Division as reinforcements.

But how did Shi Kai know about this?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao's heart sank. It seemed that the Blood Sect truly had a tight grip on Xu Prefecture City.

"Old Wei, come in. Today, let this kid completely give up!"

Shi Kai shouted loudly.

Then, a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair, looking like a leading cadre, walked in.

This person looked very slick and said to Chen Xiao with a smile, "You're the one who had Song Zijian greet me, right? Sigh, I didn't want to make things difficult for you, and Sect Master Shi had already given you a chance. Why didn't you cherish it? Now that you've met me, I can't let you leave!"

Chen Xiao stared at the man and asked quietly, "You're the leader of the Xu Prefecture Evil Exorcism Division?"

"I'm not talented, but I am Wei Qing, the director of the Xu Prefecture branch office of the Evil Exorcism Division!"

The man named Wei introduced himself, his face smug, looking like he had nothing to fear.

"Heh, what an Evil Exorcism Division of Xu Prefecture. You're all colluding with evil, yet you still have the nerve to mention 'Evil Exorcism'?"

Chen Xiao said with a sneer.

"A wise man submits to circumstances. The Blood Sect has the backing of the Hidden Sect Heavenly Blood Sect. Even the Heavenly Policy Army can't compare to the Heavenly Blood Sect, let alone a mere Evil Exorcism Division."

When mentioning the Heavenly Blood Sect, Director Wei had a respectful expression, but when mentioning the Heavenly Policy Army, he was full of contempt.

"Shameless scum!"

Dian Lian couldn't hold back her anger and shouted, "Don't you know about the Blood Sect's raising of Blood Rage? Don't you know that the Heavenly Blood Sect's cultivation relies on human lives for sacrifice? You think you've joined a wise lord, but little do you know that in their eyes, you're just a pig for slaughter!"

"Tsk tsk, what a sharp-tongued little girl. It's a pity that you're not skilled enough to sow discord between this official and the Heavenly Blood Sect…"

"Poof…"

Suddenly, as Director Wei was speaking, his body turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Dian Lian's eyes widened. What, what, what was going on?

The five members of the Blood Sect were also dumbfounded. What happened? What was going on?

At this moment, only Lin Qian, an ordinary woman, knew what had happened.

She clapped her hands and cheered, "Yay, Benefactor Chen has shown his divine power again! Kill, kill, kill, kill them all!"

Dian Lian looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief, secretly wondering what kind of technique this was, killing people without a trace!

"Did you kill him?"

Shi Kai stared at Chen Xiao and asked in a deep voice.

Chen Xiao's lips curled up, revealing a mocking sneer, which was considered an admission.

Shi Kai's eyes narrowed. He was a little unsure now.

This kid's origins were unknown, he had some connection with the Evil Exorcism Division, and his methods were cruel, more like an evil sect than the Blood Sect itself.

Who exactly was he?

"Hmph, I don't care what kind of riffraff you are. If you dare to meddle in my Blood Sect's business, you'll only meet death. Four elders, take his dog's life…"

Shi Kai gave an order and then added, "Kill him, and his blood will be rewarded to you!"

Hearing this, the four elders, who were still somewhat hesitant, suddenly had a greedy look in their eyes.

The way they looked at Chen Xiao was like a starving man seeing a greasy roast chicken.

"Brothers, let's go together! This kid is indeed a bit skilled, but no matter how powerful he is, he can't possibly defeat three Rudimentary Dao peaks plus my Golden Core strength!"

The bald man shouted shamelessly.

"Sigh…"

Chen Xiao shook his head and sighed helplessly.

As he shook his head and sighed, the four guardians, who were about to pounce on Chen Xiao, suddenly exploded, turning into clouds of blood mist like fireworks…
