Chapter 191: The Power Enveloping a City
September 10, 2024
"Blood Mountain City!"
As Gu Qingfeng stepped into Blood Mountain City, the world before him remained unchanged, but in his line of sight, a terrifying and bizarre shadow loomed in the sky. A chilling and eerie aura spread wildly, and blood-red lines connected to the shadow, creating a horrifying scene.
"An array?"
"An offering?"
Gu Qingfeng's expression remained calm, but his eyes grew deeper. The changes in Blood Mountain City were far worse than he had imagined. The bizarre and terrifying shadow was not the true entity of the evil, but merely a manifestation of its power.
However, if this evil were to awaken, Gu Qingfeng suspected it would be at least as powerful as the Nine-Curves Evil Buddha. It might even be more powerful.
"According to the information from the Divine Martial Sect, the evil in Blood Mountain City might only be on par with the Evil Buddha, or even weaker. But from what I can see, the Divine Martial Sect's intelligence is not entirely accurate. Still, it's for the best that this evil hasn't truly awakened. That's the main issue."
Gu Qingfeng slowly walked toward the shadow of the evil. As he delved deeper into Blood Mountain City, he saw a scene of prosperity, as if the disasters and chaos outside had not affected this place at all. However, the more he saw, the colder his expression became.
Since reaching the Supreme Daoist Master realm and breaking through to the ninth level in two true intentions, Gu Qingfeng could see through illusions with his naked eye. The prosperity before him was unremarkable to others, but to him, it revealed a landscape of bones and corpses, turning Blood Mountain City into a true hell of demons.
Blood sacrifice of an entire city!
Gu Qingfeng wondered if this was the doing of the Pei family and the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect, or if it was the work of the sealed evil.
However, he soon unraveled his doubts. He saw several corpses, all wearing the attire of the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect. Clearly, these people were from the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect, but their life force had been drained, and they had been dead for some time.
"Seems the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect has overplayed their hand!"
"The evil in Blood Mountain City is far stronger than they imagined."
Gu Qingfeng's eyes turned cold. No wonder there had been no news from Blood Mountain City. It appeared that the evil had been silently slaughtering the entire population, creating a powerful illusion to ensnare anyone who entered.
When Gu Qingfeng entered Blood Mountain City, he immediately felt a force attempting to drain his life essence. However, this force had no effect on him. Still, this alone showed how powerful the evil in Blood Mountain City was. Even the Nine-Curves Evil Buddha couldn't slaughter an entire city and create such a widespread illusion.
This revealed just how formidable the evil in Blood Mountain City truly was.
At that moment, a sound of breaking air came from behind, and a man, drenched in blood, rushed toward Gu Qingfeng. His face was filled with terror, as if something terrifying was chasing him.
"Save me, save me—"
Pei Hong, his face full of fear, hurriedly pleaded for help when he saw Gu Qingfeng.
Here is the rewritten chapter with non-English characters replaced with their English equivalents or transliterations:
The Blood Mountain Manor had undergone a strange transformation.
Initially, Peter Pei had led the Pei family into this place, intending to use his power to gather the blood of the people from various cities for a blood sacrifice. This was to awaken the evil entity that had been sealed away.
However, things did not go as planned.
Not long after entering the Blood Mountain Manor, Peter Pei sensed something was wrong. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the Pei family martial artists who had accompanied him had all perished at some point, turning into dry corpses. The sight of these corpses following him day and night sent shivers down his spine.
Worse still, Peter Pei soon realized that everything he saw in the Blood Mountain Manor was an illusion. The sheer terror of this revelation made him hesitant to stay any longer.
Unfortunately, once he entered the Blood Mountain Manor, even with his formidable strength as a Primordial Grandmaster, he found it impossible to escape.
The moment he uncovered the truth about the Blood Mountain Manor, the dry corpses came to life, swarming toward him. As he sustained injuries, Peter Pei felt a mysterious force sapping his life energy. If this continued, he would surely die.
So, Peter Pei fled.
But the Blood Mountain Manor was vast, and he had nowhere to run.
Just as Peter Pei thought he would die there, he saw the figure of Quincy Gu. Despite his curiosity about why anyone would be here in the current state of the Blood Mountain Manor, Peter Pei decided to take a chance.
However, as Peter Pei approached, Quincy Gu asked, "Are you from the Pei family?"
Peter Pei was slightly taken aback but quickly nodded, saying, "I am Peter Pei, the current Grand Elder of the Pei family. If you can save me..."
Before he could finish, Quincy Gu pointed a finger, and Peter Pei's head exploded into a cloud of blood, his headless body collapsing to the ground. Within moments, it turned into a dry corpse.
Quincy Gu did not hesitate.
In fact, the moment he saw Peter Pei's attire, he was almost certain of his identity. The question was merely a formality to confirm his suspicions.
Peter Pei likely never understood why Quincy Gu would strike him down.
Quincy Gu glanced at Peter Pei's corpse and then looked at the shadowy form of the evil entity in the air. As he took action, the entity seemed to be affected, its crimson eyes locking onto him.
At the same time, a sinister whisper echoed in Quincy Gu's ears.
"Kneel!"
"Submit!"
"I can grant you eternal life..."
Quincy Gu paid no heed to these words. His eyes narrowed with a cold resolve as he looked at the shadowy form.
"Enough noise!"
With that, Quincy Gu unleashed a punch, his aura of righteous might shattering the heavens. The shadowy form of the evil entity let out a roar of anger, and a terrifying force condensed into a blood-red hand, descending to crush him.
"Boom—"
The two forces collided, and the blood-red hand disintegrated.
Quincy Gu's punch struck the shadowy form, causing it to boil and dissipate like foam in hot oil.
As the shadowy form vanished, all the blood lines broke, and a strange, subtle force spread throughout the Blood Mountain Manor.
All the illusions and anomalies vanished, revealing the true, unaltered reality.
