Chapter 1677: Chapter 826: Blood Ghost Sect Secret Technique, Blood Mist Array
“Luo Chen, look over there!” Qing Shuang suddenly pointed to a mountain ahead, speaking in a low voice.
Luo Chen followed the direction Qing Shuang indicated and saw that the mountain was shrouded in mist, with the faint outline of an ancient architectural complex.
“What is that place?” Qing Shuang asked curiously.
After carefully observing, Luo Chen replied, “That should be the location of the Yin Yun Sect’s mountain gate. The Yin Yun Sect is renowned for its secrecy and defenses; the location of their mountain gate is never known to outsiders.”
Interest flickered in Qing Shuang’s eyes, “Should we pay them a visit? Perhaps they know something about the appearance of the Blood Ghost Sect.”
Luo Chen thought for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, we can take this opportunity to understand the attitude of the Yin Yun Sect.”
The two changed their course, heading towards the mountain gate of the Yin Yun Sect.
Along the way, they encountered disciples of the Yin Yun Sect, and after some communication, they were led to the sect’s discussion hall.
“Welcome, fellow Daoists, to the Yin Yun Sect.” An elder in a green robe approached, a hint of caution in his eyes.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang bowed to the elder, then Luo Chen spoke, “We are members of the Alliance, here to learn about the situation regarding the Blood Ghost Sect.”
Upon hearing this, the elder’s expression changed slightly, “Blood Ghost Sect… You’ve heard too?”
Luo Chen nodded, “Yes, we just received this information, so we came to inquire.”
The elder sighed and said, “The Blood Ghost Sect has indeed reappeared in the Cultivation Realm, and they seem to be searching for an ancient secret technique rumored to grant supreme power.”
Qing Shuang furrowed her brows, “Supreme power… That sounds very dangerous.”
The elder nodded, “Indeed it is. Our Yin Yun Sect has already strengthened our defenses to prevent an attack from the Blood Ghost Sect, and we are also in contact with other sects to discuss countermeasures together.”
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang talked with the elder for a long time, learning more about the Blood Ghost Sect.
When they left the Yin Yun Sect, they were filled with concern but also more determined to stop the Blood Ghost Sect.
On their way back to the Alliance Headquarters, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang encountered more cultivators, passing on the news of the Blood Ghost Sect in hopes of raising awareness among more people.
After several days of traveling, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally returned to the Alliance Headquarters.
They immediately reported the situation of the Blood Ghost Sect to the upper echelon of the Alliance.
The Alliance’s upper echelon took this information very seriously and immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss strategies.
Naturally, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also participated in the meeting.
…
Alliance Headquarters, inside the meeting hall.
At this moment, many upper-level members of the Alliance were gathered together.
Everyone was looking around at each other.
It seemed they were curious about what would be discussed next.
“Everyone, today’s gathering is urgent and important as we need to discuss some vital matters,” said the head of the Alliance, an elder with silver hair, his voice steady.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood in a corner of the hall, their gaze sweeping over everyone present.
They knew that the upcoming discussion would concern the future of the entire Cultivation Realm.
“Luo Chen, you and Qing Shuang were the first to bring back news about the Blood Ghost Sect. Could you explain the situation in detail?” a middle-aged man wearing a robe with golden trims said, his gaze sharp as he looked at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen nodded, stepped forward, and recounted everything they knew about the Blood Ghost Sect, including the information revealed by Zhao Yun and what they had witnessed at the Yin Yun Sect.
The hall fell into a momentary silence as everyone digested this sudden news.
“The reemergence of the Blood Ghost Sect is no trivial matter,” a wise elder woman slowly said; she was a respectable elder in the Alliance, “We must take immediate action.”
“I agree,” another man with a long beard concurred, “We all know the ambitions of the Blood Ghost Sect. If unchecked, the entire Cultivation Realm will be thrown into chaos.”
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, aware that the Alliance’s decision would have far-reaching implications.
“Then, how should we act?” a young cultivator couldn’t help but ask.
“First, we need to strengthen our internal defenses to ensure the security of our headquarters,” the head of the Alliance said, “Secondly, we must send emissaries to contact other sects and loose cultivators to discuss strategies together.”
“I suggest we should also send some elite forces to investigate the movements of the Blood Ghost Sect and understand their true intentions,” Luo Chen added.
Qing Shuang also nodded in agreement, “We cannot sit passively; we must take the initiative.”
The meeting lasted for several hours, finally coming up with a comprehensive strategy on the Alliance’s side.
However, no matter what…
The Blood Ghost Sect is extraordinarily mysterious, hidden in the shadows.
While Luo Chen’s Alliance, along with other cultivator forces, operate in the open.
Thus…
Even if they are to deal with the Blood Ghost Sect…
What they need to do, what they can do, is merely to wait silently.
…
As time passed…
Soon, several more days went by.
During these days, both Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stayed at the Alliance, resting.
The previous events in the Secret Realm had left them quite exhausted.
Now that they have returned to the Alliance Headquarters, naturally, it was time for some well-deserved rest.
Other matters were set aside for now.
During their days at the Alliance Headquarters, aside from necessary cultivation and rest, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang often visited the Alliance library to peruse ancient tomes, trying to find more information about the Blood Ghost Sect.
