NOVPUBYu Xing’s expression was grave, as naturally he wouldn’t disturb Jiang Yao during his closed-door cultivation unless something significant had happened.
Without wasting words, Yu Xing said solemnly, "Mountain Master, half a month ago in the Dusty Sun Region, a small city with a population of hundreds of thousands was massacred. The local ’Huangfu Clan,’ which had Saint Warriors stationed there, was also completely annihilated, and it’s highly probable that Elder Huangfu perished too. Our Heavenly Saint Soldiers went to the scene to investigate, and from some of the remaining traces, it is highly likely that the ’Blood River Sect,’ once listed on the Evil Saint List, is responsible."
"Blood River Sect?"
At these words, a piercing cold light flashed in Jiang Yao’s eyes.
The Ancient Holy Country was far from peaceful, vast and abundant with resources, and some Saint Warriors even slaughtered innocents to cultivate, seizing Spirit Veins and draining lakes and mires, committing heinous crimes.
With the abilities of a Saint Warrior, a few of them could massacre hundreds of thousands in a short time, causing immense destruction. Below the Saint level, humans were like ants, trampled to death en masse!
With the Jiang Family being the rulers of the Ancient Holy Country, they showed no mercy towards these Saint Warriors committing major crimes. Executing these sinful Saint Warriors would also add to the Jiang Family’s good fortune and help maintain their power.
The ’Evil Saint List’ issued by the Jiang Family was a wanted list for these ’evil saints.’ Anyone listed on the Evil Saint List was subject to substantial rewards from the Jiang Family; whoever killed them could claim a large bounty!
Those who could be listed on the Evil Saint List were no ordinary people but were extremely powerful and committed great evils.
Like the previous example, Ma Han was a brutal man; however, his evil deeds were far from sufficient to make him a candidate for the ’Evil Saint List.’
The Blood River Sect, one of the Evil Sects and Demon Gates within the Ancient Holy Country, specialized in creating the ’Blood River Divine Pill,’ which involved massacring a vast number of living beings and using their life essence, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, to concoct the pills. Wherever they went, not a single grass would grow.
No need for Spirit Grass or Sacred Medicine; just the lives of ordinary people were enough to create these Holy Pills that could enhance one’s cultivation. The Blood River Sect had massacred countless lives, and the sect leader had used this to forge a Divine Body and had been listed on the ’Evil Saint List,’ once dominating the region hundreds of years ago.
Ultimately, three Divine-bodied warriors from the Jiang Family tracked down the mountain gate of the Blood River Sect and massacred them; the sect leader was killed on the spot and the sect was obliterated.
However, completely annihilating a sect with so many disciples was obviously impossible.
And the recent massacre in a small city near Skyfire City in the Dusty Sun Region had all the hallmarks of the Blood River Sect’s method of making Blood River Divine Pills; it was very likely that remnants of the Blood River Sect had resurfaced.
"Is there a clue?"
Jiang Yao immediately inquired.
Yu Xing nodded, "According to the Heavenly Saint Soldiers skilled in tracking Divine Skills, this suspected remnant of the Blood River Sect is likely hiding in the Wind Clear Mountain Range."
In the Heavenly Saint Soldiers, not only were there warriors with formidable combat capabilities, but also statuses possessed auxiliary Divine Skills for tracking, escaping, and healing. Those who could enter the Heavenly Saint Soldiers all possessed exceptional abilities. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Under Yu Xing’s orders, the Heavenly Saint Soldiers had carefully used Divine Skills to discover traces of the Blood River Sect.
"Wind Clear Mountain Range... It’s 30,000 li away from Skyfire City, but it’s also within my jurisdiction,"
Jiang Yao pondered slightly.
"In my jurisdiction, then it’s up to me to handle! Executing the evil demons and heretics on the ’Evil Saint List’ is my duty as a descendant of the Jiang Family!"
A gleaming light shone in Jiang Yao’s eyes.
Of course, Jiang Yao could choose to ignore this matter; after all, no matter how the Blood River Sect slaughtered innocents, it wouldn’t affect him directly. However, it wasn’t in his nature to feign ignorance.
For one, killing the evil demons and heretics listed on the Evil Saint List was the duty of a Jiang Family descendant; secondly, this was also a meritorious deed. In the Jiang Family, someone as elite as Jiang Yao also needed to accumulate merits to be further esteemed by his clan!
As for the dangers? Jiang Yao himself was capable of being the Mountain Master of Heavenly Saint Mountain in Skyfire City; among the Jiang Family descendants, he was an elite, cultivating top-tier Unparalleled Techniques, and fully mastering three Great Divine Seeds. He even dared to openly challenge ordinary Saint Warriors!
Furthermore, Jiang Yao also had life-saving measures provided by his family; even if he indeed encountered an opponent he couldn’t handle, he could still ensure his safety.
Additionally, each of the Heavenly Saint Soldiers of Heavenly Saint Mountain was brave and skilled in combat, each equipped with Divine Artifacts and Divine Armors. A squad of Heavenly Saint Soldiers was enough to easily flatten some smaller sects.
"Summon three squads of Heavenly Saint Soldiers to follow me to the Green Peak Mountain Range," Jiang Yao ordered Yu Xing.
"Yes!"
Yu Xing nodded in agreement and immediately set out to prepare; the remnants of the Blood River Sect were not just any minor characters. Yu Xing didn’t dare make decisions on his own, so he had personally come to consult Jiang Yao. He, too, wanted to strike against the remnants of the Blood River Sect, as after all, this was a chance to accumulate merits and resources!
"These remnants of the Blood River Sect, having laid low for hundreds of years, dare to reemerge now, thinking they have some confidence, and there might even be a new Divine-bodied warrior born... While I am not afraid, I still need to act with caution, perhaps I should invite Elder Su to accompany me."
Jiang Yao thought to himself and thought of Su Changkong.
Su Changkong, far from fully mastering the Divine Seed Realm, but Jiang Yao knew that Su Changkong had achieved a Primordial Spirit, an extraordinary demonic talent. Once he used his Primordial Spirit, he could almost sweep through Divine Seed Warriors!
And in terms of killing enemies or other aspects, the Primordial Spirit was extremely well-rounded and possessed various mysteries. Inviting Su Changkong to accompany him would also be much safer!
