Although it was a misunderstanding by the Hydra, Yang Qi helped him to ward off disaster and almost died. Anyone would probably feel resentful if this happened to them, but Yang Qi was so open-minded that he didn't feel the slightest bit of resentment even after helping him to ward off disaster.
"Hmph~"
Liu Fei snorted lightly. She naturally knew that this matter could not be blamed on Zhao Qian, but only on the Hydra. Because it was injured by Xuantian Sword Master and had witnessed Xuantian Sword Master's terrifying talent, when it saw everyone, it naturally mistook Yang Qi, who had the most terrifying talent, as Xiao Xuantian's disciple.
If it were them, they would probably have the same guess.
What the Hydra didn't know was that Yang Qi's master was no weaker than Xuantian Sword Master, and even in terms of strength, Lin Qingyu was a bit stronger. However, compared to Xuantian Sword Master's monstrous cultivation speed, Lin Qingyu seemed much more ordinary at the level of Wu Zong, because he practiced too many paths, and even when he entered the Wu Zun level, he was not well-known. It was not until Lin Qingyu entered the high-level Wu Zun that he became famous, and even later fought with Wu Wang, and the strength he showed was even more impressive.
All of this was only circulated among high-level martial masters in the Zichen Continent. Not many were known by mid-level martial masters, let alone the Hydra, which had been trapped in the Purple Emperor Secret Realm and could only be seen by a few martial arts practitioners every fifty years.
After seeing how Yang Qi killed the Sky-Horned Demon Bull, the Hydra instinctively regarded Yang Qi as Xiao Xuantian's disciple. In its eyes, only Xiao Xuantian's disciple could possess such terrifying strength as an eight-star martial master.
The practitioners from the Tianjian Sect are taking the time to heal their wounds. The practitioners from the Chuwang Palace cannot stay here forever, they must recover as soon as possible, otherwise they will be one step behind others in their search for opportunities.
"Tang Qin, can we talk?" Yang Qi and Yun Lan looked at each other, then said to Tang Qin beside them.
Tang Qin was stunned, a light flashed in her eyes, and then she nodded.
"I want to go too." Liu Fei said hurriedly.
Yun Lan couldn't help but glared at Liu Fei fiercely when he heard that. Liu Fei immediately pouted and looked extremely aggrieved. However, Yun Lan, who was already familiar with Liu Fei, simply ignored Liu Fei's aggrieved look.
Soon after Yang Qi and Yun Lan met up with He Dongchen, they took Tang Qin to a dark place nearby.
Yang Qi moved his hands, and was about to set up a soundproof formation.
Seeing this, Tang Qin shook her head slightly, glanced at Gu Feng who was blocking their way not far away, and said, "No need, Senior Brother Gu is watching, no one will disturb us."
Following Tang Qin's gaze, Yang Qi, the man, indeed discovered Gu Feng. The other party intentionally or unintentionally protected their position, so there was no need to worry about any practitioners secretly eavesdropping on their conversation.
“In that case, I’ll be frank.” Seeing this, Yang Qi did not beat around the bush and said directly, “Just now I took a look at the practitioners from your Chu Palace, and it seems that two people are missing.”
Originally, there were 21 practitioners on the Chu Palace side, but now, there are only 19. According to what Yun Lan told him before, there was no loss in the previous battle. And with the strength of the Chu Palace, it is impossible for someone to die, and the others are fine! There is only one possibility for the two people who disappeared, that is, they were killed by the Chu Palace. The two dead people are likely to be traitors planted by the Corpse God Cult like Xia Houjie!
"That's right." Tang Qin nodded slightly and continued, "There are indeed two people missing from our team, and those two missing people are the traitors planted into our team by the Corpse God Cult."
"So, you already knew that someone from the Corpse God Cult had sneaked in?" He Dongchen's face darkened and he said angrily.
If Tang Qin and others had reminded them, they would not have been so passive this time. If the practitioners from the Chuwang Palace had not arrived in time, I am afraid that not only would everyone in the Tianjian Sect be injured, but the entire army would have been wiped out.
"Not this time. In fact, since the demise of the Corpse God Cult, there have been practitioners infiltrating the Corpse God Cult every time. It's just that they are usually the same as ordinary practitioners. Such active attacks on other practitioners have only happened once four hundred years ago in countless years." Tang Qin said lightly.
Someone comes in every time
Hearing Tang Qin's words, Yang Qi and the other two's faces changed. They originally thought that the Corpse God Cult's practitioners only sneaked in occasionally, but they didn't expect that in the past 100,000 years, the Corpse God Cult actually had practitioners entering the Purple Emperor Secret Realm every time. The Purple Emperor Secret Realm is an opportunity left by the Purple Emperor for the human race. As long as you are a human race and meet the requirements, you can enter the Purple Emperor Secret Realm. Although the major superpowers are powerful, they cannot monopolize these places. It is precisely because of this that the Corpse God Cult has an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Four hundred years ago?" He Dongchen was startled, then his face changed and he asked in shock, "Could it be a blood sacrifice four hundred years ago?"
"You actually know about the blood sacrifice?" This time it was Tang Qin's turn to look at He Dongchen in surprise. The blood sacrifice had a huge impact back then, and the major super powers suffered heavy losses. It was also because of this that the major super powers seldom mentioned this matter.
Not to mention ordinary martial arts masters, even ordinary mid-level martial arts masters don't know much about blood sacrifice.
"Master had a disciple who died in the blood sacrifice, so Master once mentioned the blood sacrifice." He Dongchen said in a deep voice. He had a senior brother who died a long time ago, and he died because of the blood sacrifice, so he knew some things about the blood sacrifice.
"Blood sacrifice, what exactly is it?"
Yang Qi and Liu Fei looked at Tang Qin and He Dongchen with some curiosity. They had not been disciples for long, and their master had not accepted any disciples for hundreds of years, so they had never heard of blood sacrifice.
Tang Qin glanced at the two of them and said slowly, "Four hundred years ago, a large number of practitioners from the Corpse God Cult entered the Purple Emperor Secret Realm. They ambushed other practitioners in the Purple Emperor Secret Realm, or instigated a fight between two teams. Of the five hundred practitioners, only less than two hundred left the Purple Emperor Secret Realm alive. Countless practitioners were stained with blood here, and the Corpse God Cult even refined the corpses of those dead practitioners into undead blood. Therefore, that Corpse God Cult action was also called a blood sacrifice."
Five hundred people, and in the end less than two hundred left alive
Under normal circumstances, in the Purple Emperor Secret Realm, although there were dangers, the number of practitioners who died was not high, and most of the time it was controlled at only dozens of people. But that time, the losses suddenly increased several times, and all the major cultivation forces suffered considerable losses.
"The Corpse God Cult is too rampant." Yang Qi's face darkened and he said coldly.
Tang Qin nodded slightly. The Corpse God Cult was indeed rampant, but the other party was hiding in the dark. No one knew how many forces supported or even defected to the Corpse God Cult. Even if the three empires joined forces, it would be difficult to completely eradicate the Corpse God Cult.
"I have conducted a detailed investigation in Yong'an Town before, so I inferred that the Corpse God Cult might launch a blood sacrifice again, but the situation seems to be worse than I thought. The Corpse God Cult has actually reached a cooperation with the monsters." Tang Qin said this, with a solemn look on her face. The Corpse God Cult cooperated with the monsters in the Purple Emperor Secret Realm. This was something she had not expected before. (To be continued)
