Sleepless City.
Master Jin looked at the scene before him and doubted whether he had fallen into a dream.
In the sky, those people were standing upright.
Thirty-two Golden Cores?
One by one, these seemingly frail and ill individuals—from the outside they still looked like invalids—but standing tall, the intimidation they radiated, along with the celestial phenomena of the Golden Cores above their heads, unmistakably demonstrated their true combat prowess!
He gazed at these people in astonishment, watching the unmatched intimidation, and then fell silent.
Thirty-two individuals, some holding blood-red swords, others wielding blood-colored magical treasures, all gazed coldly at him like wolves who had spotted a sheep.
How could this be possible?
How could it not be possible?
Suddenly, he remembered the Blood Demon Sect, no, the title Cao Defang claimed as the Blood God Sect!
There was also Cao Defang’s ability to compete against Nascent Soul cultivators in the Ascension List with just a Foundation Establishment cultivation.
Shallow waters don’t produce big fish, and yet the deep sea may conceal leviathans.
For a demonic path giant like the Blood Demon Sect, which had been around for a million years, was it difficult to summon a few dozen Golden Cores?
As for the preceding events.
Perhaps, the Blood Shadow Ancestor had staged everything in coordination, perhaps, that truly represented the might of the Blood Demon Sect.
He involuntarily concocted numerous conspiracies in his mind: like everything was a scheme devised by Cao Defang and the Blood Shadow Ancestor together; like these people were preparing to open some cave mansion, etc.
Or perhaps, the original plan was to leave unnoticed, but he had inadvertently revealed everything.
"Cao brother, I mean, we really just wanted to check if you are Meng Yu, do you believe that?"
Master Jin’s innards turned green with regret. What is a Golden Core? It signifies absolute destructive power, and now, Cao Defang had pulled out thirty-two Golden Cores?
Although the Eternal Night Palace was not afraid, it did not mean they were willing to fight this battle!
If a fight were to break out, the losses would be severe!
...
Sleepless City.
Master Jin was regretting outside, while Qin Ningxue was regretting inside the cave mansion.
She stood there dumbfounded, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She had guessed that the grandparents in the courtyard were no ordinary people, but... who could have imagined that they were all Golden Cores?
She wanted to say something but then felt someone else coming out of the house.
One by one, the True Sages appeared in the cave mansion with smiles, politely lining up, waiting to go out for a stroll.
Indeed, she vaguely knew there was a basement below; Meng Yu often went down there, even bringing some delicacies with him.
Such scenarios were normal; some major families also hid real experts as a contingency.
But... was this really just a contingency?
One, ten, a hundred, two hundred...
One after another, people emerged from the house, their identities revealed by the celestial phenomena of the Golden Cores above their heads.
No wonder Cao Defang always made her stay in the gatehouse, and at night or whenever, she would inexplicably fall asleep.
She did not suspect that Cao Defang wanted to do something to her, but had always wondered what secrets lay within the courtyard?
Was Cao Defang creating a Blood Pool below, breeding demons, using various forbidden techniques, or perhaps had a wife?
After all, she could feel that there had definitely been a woman around Cao Defang, and they had spent some happy times together.
But... no matter how much she theorized, she could not have imagined it being like this; in the past, a Foundation Establishment practitioner was considered a god in the Minor World, and she, a Martial Arts Expert, had to bow down even to grandmasters, yet now, so many Golden Core True Sages had appeared around her...
"Are they not from the Blood Demon Sect?"
The kitchen maid asked with her eyes, posing a question that concerned the future, for the weapons in these people’s hands were wrapped in blood light.
"No, they are from the Blood God Sect!"
Qin Ningxue responded resolutely with her eyes!

Ascension List.
Meng Yu waved to Bai Hu, the sister who loves to smile; no, the Nascent Soul Master talented in formations, would be so much better skilled in illusion techniques than him.
Looking at his Cloud Map, Meng Yu felt somewhat ashamed.
Choosing Bai Hu was simple; Meng Yu admired her humanity.
She sang in taverns, wandered through the world, and even when he tormented her, she had no intention of slaughtering him.
That was enough.
Bai Hu initially did not want to go, but after seeing the Cloud Map that Meng Yu presented, the little figures emerging from his cave mansion turning gold and being Golden Core True Sages, she suddenly smiled, then approached Meng Yu, connected a thread of Divine Sense with him, and with a wave of her hand, a mirror appeared in the sky, displaying the scenes from Meng Yu’s Divine Sense.
The situation suddenly became amusing; the offline bullying turned into a direct clash, although she was disappointed, it was still not bad.
With the appearance of Bai Hu, the Cloud Map’s display improved significantly, though not as good as live streaming, it was clear enough for everyone to see what was happening there.
"Cao Defang... what are your intentions?"
The Nascent Soul from Eternal Night Palace said so to Meng Yu, and his words further confirmed that Meng Yu was not deceiving anyone.
"I have no particular intentions, but since you’ve been pressing step by step, don’t blame me for flipping the table."
Meng Yu sighed, continuing to use Bai Hu’s magic artifact and magical power, letting everyone enjoy the spectacle.
...
Sleepless City.
"Cao brother, this is all a misunderstanding, we can talk this out nicely."
"After all, you killed someone from Sleepless City, what’s wrong with our probing?"
"You Golden Cores are impressive, but our Nascent Soul Ancestor is right outside..."
