In the dim hall, two figures seemed to be frozen in place, motionless. The entire hall was deathly silent, without a single sound.
"Master, they succeeded." At this moment, a slightly excited voice spread in the hall.
Phew~
Following this voice, the black shadow at the head let out a long breath. This was the most critical step in a plan that had been prepared for countless years. Although the plan was foolproof with the means left by the ancestors, the black shadow still did not dare to relax his vigilance before receiving a message from his own side.
After all, if this operation fails, their countless years of hard work will be wasted, and they may even be making things difficult for others.
"Master..."
Just when the man breathed a sigh of relief, the figure next to him said with a slight hesitation.
"Um?"
Seeing the man's appearance, the black shadow raised his eyebrows and said with an unpleasant expression, "Didn't it succeed? Did something go wrong?"
Since their people were able to complete the mission, it means that everything is developing according to plan, but the appearance of the figures now clearly shows that there is a problem.
"Although they succeeded, there were some accidents in the process. Yang Qi was able to absorb that strange energy, and he robbed a lot of energy during the process." The figure laughed bitterly and continued, "They tried to kill Yang Qi, but the super power was too strong. They lost nine practitioners and failed."
"Yang Qi again!"
The black shadow's eyes fixed, and his tone revealed a murderous intent. If it were not inconvenient for him to expose himself, he would have killed Yang Qi directly.
The figure sensed the black shadow's anger and said cautiously, "When they finally left, the blood beasts born from the blood sea had already surrounded the remains of the mountain of corpses. Yang Qi and the others should not have survived."
“Hmph~ Those creatures with low intelligence may not be able to do anything to Yang Qi and others.” The black shadow smiled coldly, but there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.
They have tried many times to kill Yang Qi, but Yang Qi is still alive and well. Black Shadow doesn't have any hope that those blood beasts can kill Yang Qi!
Hearing the black shadow's words, a bitter smile appeared on the figure's face, but he did not dare to respond on this matter. After all, they had failed several times when they had a sure chance to kill Yang Qi.
The figure looked up at the black shadow and said cautiously, "Master, will the energy that Yang Qi snatched away affect our plan?"
"How should I know? The means of the sea of blood were left by our ancestor. I just hope that our ancestor still has a backup plan." Hearing the words of the figure, the black shadow snorted lightly, his tone full of helplessness.
"Where are they now?" the black shadow asked in a deep voice.
The figure was silent for a moment. After receiving the news through the message token, he spoke, "They are heading towards the headquarters. I believe they will arrive soon."
"Everything must be done according to the plan. Remember, the people we send over must know nothing about our actions. Although those guys are greedy, they may not be without suspicion." The black shadow murmured.
The figure nodded, then respectfully left the hall.
The shadow's eyes fixed, with a hint of fanaticism and excitement in his expression, and he growled, "Once the plan is completed, my Corpse God Cult will surely dominate the Zichen Continent again!"
The black shadow in front of him was none other than the leader of this generation of the Corpse God Cult, a powerful warrior at the level of Martial King!
…
The blood beasts retreated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They all came to Ding Jun. Although he had only entered the Martial King realm with the help of the Martial King Pill, he was still a strong man in the Martial King realm and had already surpassed the level of the Martial Honor realm.
Ding Jun looked at Yang Qi in front of him and said gratefully, "Junior Brother Yang, thank you very much."
Although his future path to martial arts was cut off, Ding Jun did not regret it. Apart from the difficulty in improving his strength, he was no different from a normal martial king. A lifespan of ten thousand years was enough for him to strengthen his lineage and even train a true martial king. All of this was given by Yang Qi. If it weren't for Yang Qi, Ding Jun would just be a martial arts peak practitioner who was about to die!
“Brother Ding, there’s no need to be polite. I’m just trying to save my life. If I face those blood beasts directly, it won’t be easy to fight my way out.” Yang Qi chuckled.
If they directly break out and kill their way out, even if they succeed in the end, only a few of the more than 20 people present will be able to survive. So what Yang Qi said is true, and this is also a way for him to save himself.
Having said that, Ding Jun understood how precious the Wu Wang Dan was. Yang Qi allowed him to become the Wu Wang, and this huge favor was real.
Ding Jun didn't say anything more after hearing this, but just kept this favor in mind.
Lin Zhong looked at Yang Qi standing beside him and said with emotion, "We have to thank Brother Yang this time. If it weren't for you, we would probably all be dead."
Without the Wu Wang Dan that Yang Qi brought out, Ding Jun would not have been able to become a Wu Wang level warrior. They could only follow the previous method and fight their way out, which was completely a fight with their lives.
"Senior Lin is too polite."
Yang Qi smiled slightly, then sighed, "Although we survived this time, our mission failed. The Corpse God Cult left with the Yin-Yang Bone Sword. I'm afraid..."
Following Yang Qi's words, everyone present fell silent. They were glad to be alive, but the Corpse God Cult's plan was not affected at all. Their entry into the sea of blood did not stop the other party's plan at all. Whatever the Corpse God Cult was planning, it was definitely not a trivial matter and would definitely pose a considerable threat to the superpowers behind them.
“Brother Yang, even though we failed in this mission, we did our best. A warrior at the Martial King level cannot enter the sea of blood. Facing the methods left behind by the Corpse Ancestor, we are totally powerless.” Lin Zhong said with a bitter look on his face.
The Corpse Ancestor has been dead for 100,000 years, but the methods he left behind are still not something that these peak Martial Honor practitioners can crack. Not to mention them, even if Ding Jun breaks through to the Martial King realm after entering the Sea of Blood, he still cannot stop the Corpse God Cult's plan!
The failure of this mission had little to do with them. If there was no seal, a warrior king could enter the blood sea and easily stop the Corpse God Cult's plan. But if there was no seal, under the influence of the blood sea, who knows how many creatures would turn into monsters like blood beasts. This was an unsolvable cycle!
Their failure was almost doomed from the beginning.
"At least we are still alive and can spread the news of what happened in the Sea of Blood. Not to mention that the Corpse God Cult's plan has not yet been fully successful, even if it really succeeds, our ancestors were able to defeat the Corpse God Cult, and we can do the same!" The gray-robed man said solemnly. (To be continued)
