NOVPUBChapter 1057: Chapter 157: Bloodbath in South District Seven Chapter 1057: Chapter 157: Bloodbath in South District Seven “I will remain here for some time to oversee matters,” Chu Yuan said. “You all need to construct a direct route to the Divine Abilities Dynasty within the shortest time possible. Whatever help you need, I will give my full support—the Divine Abilities Dynasty is your backing.”
This route, with raiders as its hub, was crucial to the Divine Abilities Dynasty.
Ling Cheng truly was a capable man.
During the time Chu Yuan stayed in the Holy City.
He started by collecting materials for Chu Yuan within the city, even finding several pieces of the elusive Celestial Crystal, along with detailed information, which earned him continuous praise from Chu Yuan.
“Gotten into another fight, have you?”
Chu Yuan sat in a palace hall, using it as a temporary base for handling state affairs, and spoke lightly to Blood Rose as she approached, her body covered in blood.
He was used to it.
It was Blood Rose’s fierce personality that interested and appealed to him.
“Someone walked into the path of my blade, so I killed him,” Blood Rose said nonchalantly. She wouldn’t be lawless or turn to plundering; otherwise, with her strength, she could be a high-status elder anywhere in Heavenly Dao’s Broken Mountains.
Chu Yuan shook his head. Ambitious and hard to tame, he didn’t try to manage her.
“But this time, I’ve obtained something good.”
Sitting next to Chu Yuan, Blood Rose pulled out a seemingly ordinary clay jar and said, “I cut down that man and found a treasure on him. This artifact is known as the Blood God Jar, created by a Heavenly Dao existence called Blood God within the realm of gods. It can store a large amount of blood to extract its essence and can also be used to conduct a blood sacrifice. The utilities are numerous. With this jar and my Secret Technique, even when facing a true supreme being, I would have the power to fight!”
She lifted her head proudly.
“The value of this item lies in its ability to refine blood, but the downside is needing to collect the blood of strong individuals. Keep it with you and use it wisely,” Chu Yuan said with a smile.
He possessed the Great Devouring Technique, which was incomparable to a mere Blood God Jar.
Blood Rose noticed Chu Yuan’s expression and remembered the formidable Great Devouring Technique in his grasp, and her spirit deflated, knowing she could not shake him.
“Your Majesty, something has happened,” Ling Cheng suddenly entered, looking grave.
“You’re injured,” Chu Yuan noted.
“My injury is not important. Just now, our people in the Holy City were ambushed; Elder He is gravely wounded. Many have died in battle, and if I had not arrived in time to act swiftly, everyone would have been annihilated,” Ling Cheng reported, his face etched with severity.
“Who has hurt Elder He?” Blood Rose asked with a dark expression.
Elder He was fiercely loyal, providing strategic advice for the raider group and earning great merit.
Chu Yuan was unfazed upon hearing Ling Cheng’s report.
He was well aware that although the Holy City was called a city, it was not dominated by a single power. It lacked rules and order and was a much more colossal battleground for plunder and combat.
“Tell me the details.”
“It was like this: Elder He heard news of Celestial Crystal in the Southern Seventh District and led people there to make purchases. While they were trading, they were suddenly attacked. The intention was clear; it was a targeted move against us,” Ling Cheng said.
“Southern Seventh District!” Blood Rose exclaimed, her killing intent rising. “I know that place. It’s Sun Qian who is in charge there!”
Chu Yuan looked at Blood Rose; it seemed that this time Elder He’s ambush was related to her. After all, with Blood Rose’s personality, she had many enemies.
“Sun Qian is my nemesis. We’ve fought over treasures several times, and he’s taken quite the loss. This time, he has his sights set specifically on me, Blood Rose,” she said.
“Indeed.”
Understanding that Blood Rose was now his woman, Ling Cheng continued, “The sovereign of the Southern Seventh District is indeed Sun Qian. He has declared that if anyone from the Blood Rose raider group dares take a single step into his area, they’ll walk in standing but leave lying down. Furthermore, he wants to eradicate the Blood Rose raider group from the Holy City, making sure they have no foothold. He’s extremely arrogant!”
The Raider’s Holy City was vast.
It was generally divided into four large districts: east, south, west, and north, and within each district were nine zones. To occupy one zone required tremendous strength.
The four directional regions also represented the four major powers of the Holy City.
“I’ll kill Sun Qian!”
Blood Rose, like an enraged tigress, was about to charge out.
“Come back and stand still!” Chu Yuan shouted.
“Is Your Majesty really going to swallow the insult?”
Blood Rose stopped in her tracks.
“Who said I would tolerate it?” Chu Yuan coldly spoke, “I will not only annihilate Sun Qian but also seize the South Seven District, uproot it completely. How can the Divine Dynasty stand firm within the Sacred City without showing its strength?”
“What does Your Majesty mean?” Ling Cheng asked.
“Massacre the South Seven District.”
Chu Yuan said.
Blood Rose shuddered. This man was ruthless, even more so than her. She only thought about dealing with Sun Qian, but this man wanted to directly massacre the South Seven District. It was no wonder he was the man who had conquered her, Blood Rose.
South Seven District.
Although it was one of the thirty-six districts, it was also very large. Many people conducted their businesses here.
Bloodstains marked the ground of the South Seven District, and many buildings lay destroyed.
A fierce battle had just taken place, especially at the entrance to the South Seven District, where hundreds of corpses lay in gruesome states.
“What a vicious approach. Blood Rose’s people came here to acquire treasures, but they were directly exterminated. Do you see those corpses hanging from the city walls? This was done deliberately by Sun Qian, aiming to humiliate Blood Rose.”
A formidable figure had just fully witnessed the battle, still shaken, Blood Rose’s people died horribly.
“Blood Rose and Sun Qian hold a grudge against each other, and it is said that Sun Qian suffered losses during a fight with Blood Rose.”
“Shush! Don’t mention such matters. If Sun Qian’s people hear us, we might end up like those corpses above.”
“Sun Qian is deliberately provoking Blood Rose.”
“Blood Rose is not one to suffer a loss easily. She may very well seek retribution.”
…
Many people were discussing; killings and struggles in the Sacred City were all too common. A few hundred years ago, Sun Qian wasn’t the ruler of the South Seven District either; it was he who led men to conquer it.
As they silently waited for the situation to shift, suddenly they felt an overwhelming killing intent, turning into a blood-red light that pervaded the air.
“Such a heavy killing intent is heading straight for the South Seven District!”
“It’s Blood Rose; she’s indeed coming to the South Seven District to find Sun Qian!”
These people suddenly saw a large group of formidable fighters arriving, each wielding weapons, clearly gearing up for a major battle.
“Damnable!”
Blood Rose saw the hanging corpses, her expression ice-cold. Sun Qian had not only moved against her people but was also humiliating her.
Chu Yuan’s expression was detached as he also saw the dead bodies. These plunderers had been subdued by him; essentially, they were his people from the Divine Dynasty, and now they had suffered such treatment.
Instantly, he ferociously activated his Divine Abilities and reached out with his hand.
Atop the high wall, there had also been people guarding. All of a sudden, this powerful suction force exploded those men, and he retrieved the hanging corpses.
“What grandeur! Blood Rose is here for a bloody battle!”
“I’ve heard that Sun Qian is wary of Blood Rose; since he dared to lay hands on her people, he must have made preparations. Let’s not get too close; if this battle breaks out, the repercussions could be immense!”
“There’s going to be a great battle here; we’d better just watch.”
These people were all clever and astute, quickly retreating to a distance if they weren’t affiliated with Sun Qian, so as not to get involved.
“Blood Rose has really come!”
Inside South Seven District, a fierce-looking middle-aged man also saw Blood Rose’s arrival.
By his side stood several experts, who after noticing Blood Rose, couldn’t help but sneer continuously. This woman had been far too brazen lately.
“Go and talk to her.”
Sun Qian had barely spoken when his expression suddenly changed.
“Directly massacre the South Seven District.”
Blood Rose charged forth, unwilling to waste words with Sun Qian.
