Chapter 709: Chapter 709 – Divine Blood Fortress, the Conspiracy
“What are we going to do?” Wang Rulai was already in trouble, as Yunlong Village was much stronger than they had expected.
Right now, everything that the experts in this area had speculated about Yunlong Village seemed like nothing more than a joke.
At first, they assumed that Yunlong Village was only a bit stronger than a typical city was. Only now did they realize that everything that they thought was true was nowhere near being correct.
On its own, Yunlong Village was strong enough to sweep across all the cities in this area. There was also the fact that they had the Divine Blood Church behind them for support.
This was the main reason why Yunlong Village was able to sweep through the entire area within just a few days.
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, “There’s nothing I can do about it either! I can only get you guys out of here, but only for a little while. Afterward, you guys won’t be able to continue developing here!”
Wang Rulai carefully looked at Lu Xuan and asked, “Is the Divine Blood Church truly that powerful? Even young master can’t do anything to them?”
Obviously, he was afraid of offending Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan said with a faint smile, “They are very strong, so much so that they only need to touch you once to kill you. However, they will be destroyed sooner or later!”
Right now, Lu Xuan knew that the Divine Blood Church was very powerful, but that was all there was to it. After a while, the Divine Blood Church would’ve no longer posed a threat to him.
Wang Rulai knew how strong Lu Xuan was, yet even the latter couldn’t do anything about it. Based on this, Wang Rulai knew that the Divine Blood Church was extraordinarily strong.
That was when Lu Xuan spoke his mind. “If my guess is correct, this area should be the hinterland of the Divine Blood Church. You guys are nothing more than sheep kept in captivity. When the time comes, you will all be killed!”
The expressions on everyone’s faces suddenly changed. Many people thought about how the things recorded in the various books seemed very unreasonable, especially those books that had only recorded the events from a few hundred years ago. Not much was written about the events that happened before then.
This included the names of the places other than this area. There was nothing left except for the Holy Sun Continent.
They had some doubts about it before, but they grew up in this environment from an early age. Therefore, their doubts would never be questioned.
They didn’t even dare to think about anything else; they believed that doing so would’ve tarnished their views on life and the world.
Now, they could finally confirm that their guesses were correct. That alone felt extremely cruel.
They were just pigs and dogs kept in captivity who would be harvested at any given time. What was the difference between this and ordinary people harvesting rice?
There was none!
They were to be killed every few centuries to prevent them from getting too big and powerful!
One person took a breath and said, “What a grand scale! What a ruthless heart! What a grand scheme!”
The Divine Blood Church had both the strength and the heart to implement such a plan. The most important thing was that they had enough patience to wait for hundreds of years for the seeds to germinate and mature.
If it were them, they would not have been able to wait for hundreds of years until everything had matured. During this period, the members of the families would have changed countless times.
It could’ve been said that there had to have been a Holy Land of cultivation that had been handed down through the generations to resist the temptation to harvest too soon.
This alone deemed the Divine Blood Church to have been extremely powerful.
Many people immediately shook their desire for vengeance out of their heads. They could neither reach the same level nor get their revenge on such a forceful existence.
“In that case, we will leave it to the young master to arrange for us to take refuge someplace else first.”
Wang Rulai also realized that they would not be able to turn things around for the time being.
Fortunately, each family had some forces in other lands that were well hidden; nobody truly knew about them.
This was what it meant to be a sly individual with more than one place to fall back on; even if they reached a dead end, they still had other places they could go to.
They just never realized that it would’ve come in handy one day!
After having made up their minds, everyone quickly moved to leave the place at once.
No matter how safe they were in a place like this, the enemy would always be able to find them eventually.
At first, they had not dared to go out at all for fear of meeting the enemy. Now that they had Lu Xuan’s help, however, they quickly left the valley and headed to the seaside.
There were ships hidden secretly along the coast. They were all taken out and set out to sea, leaving this dangerous place.
Far out at sea, Xu Tianying looked at the place above the land in the distance that was covered with blood clouds. It was like a bloody version of Hell.
The sight of Lu Xuan’s figure gradually shrinking in the sky seemed like a dream to her.
Earlier, she had been worried about Zhou Daoping’s death. Now, everyone including Zhou Daoping was dead. As the only ones left, they all sailed out to sea to find a new place to live.
None of this would’ve been possible without Lu Xuan, the new Great Ancestor of the Xu family. One could’ve even said that he even blessed them with too much.
Lu Xuan bid farewell to the remaining people of Tianhai City, then immediately left and headed straight towards the huge core of the blood formation.
The closer they got to the center of the blood formation, the more patrols there were. The outer layer of the formation was guarded by the elites of Yunlong Village. However, Lu Xuan saw many disciples of the Divine Blood Church in red clothing guarding the core of the blood formation.
The elite disciples of the Divine Blood Church were obviously far stronger when compared to the elites of Yunlong Village. Experts in the Divine Transformation Realm could be found everywhere.
Every now and then, Lu Xuan would see an expert in the Divine Transformation Realm flying in the sky.
In terms of absolute strength, the Divine Blood Church was far more powerful than the families in all the cities.
Above this blood formation was a huge fortress floating in mid-air. An endless amount of essence and blood continued to pour into this fortress.
Lu Xuan utilized his inner energy and activated his Delusion-breaker Eye. He immediately saw countless boundaries around the clean surroundings of this fortress.
These boundaries had securely protected the whole fortress!
There were no gaps that Lu Xuan could enter through!
Obviously, the Divine Blood Church had been fully prepared.
Within the fortress, a faint yet powerful force spread out everywhere.
Lu Xuan would’ve never have detected it if he never had his Delusion-breaker Eye.
Even with these layers of boundaries, the force was still spreading. There was only one possible explanation for this: someone who possessed immense strength was in the process of making a breakthrough.
There couldn’t have been any other possible explanation!
Lu Xuan immediately figured out that it was related to this. The Divine Blood Church had raised the people for hundreds of years. Now, these people were suddenly being slaughtered because someone needed the essence and blood to make a breakthrough.
If such a huge concentration of essence and blood could’ve been used for ordinary people, then it would’ve resulted in powerful energy. However, for someone to use it to make a breakthrough, that person was most likely a powerful existence.
