Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 59 Red Blood Sect

Red Blood Sect.

This is one of the largest Demon Power forces within the Star State.

Established just twelve years ago, it had already developed a significant influence.

Especially in recent years, they had covertly cooperated with the second son, Qi Fenglei, and had been growing stronger day by day.

As of today, no one knew the extent of the power hidden within the Red Blood Sect.

"The people of the Red Blood Sect showing up now... they must be coming to rescue the Three Great Families, but they didn’t expect us to act so swiftly and have already completely taken control of Lingxiao City,"

Gu Jinlai said.

"Indeed, however, they probably don’t care who their partner is, otherwise they wouldn’t have come knocking,"

Nian Buwang nodded in agreement, "Elder, we..."

"See them,"

Gu Jinlai stated directly.

If he didn’t meet the Red Blood Sect people, how could he find the location of the Red Blood Sect?

And how could he eradicate the true Demon Path force of the Red Blood Sect, sweeping away the unease in his heart?

...

At that moment, in the main hall.

An elder and two protectors from the Red Blood Sect were waiting.

Among the three, the elder was at the Hugging Pill cultivation level, while the protectors were strong Demon Martial Artists.

Because they refined Demon Blood Essence, both were tall, around two meters, and emitted a fierce and ferocious aura.

Even those who were timid felt uneasy and trembled sitting next to them, as if sitting next to a tiger.

"Elder Sun, are we really going to cooperate with this Gu Jinlai?"

At that moment, one of the protectors spoke up, lowering his voice, "Lingxiao City is unguarded now. In my opinion, we should just take down Lingxiao City directly, kidnap the whole city’s population, and just consume these people. Our power in the Red Blood Sect will surely skyrocket, and then who in Star State would dare oppose the Red Blood Sect?"

"You’re thinking too simply,"

Elder Sun Tongxuan shook his head, "Over the years, we’ve secretly taken control of three counties, and the noise we’ve made is already significant. If it weren’t for Qi Fenglei needing the strength of our Red Blood Sect to train new troops, we would have probably been subdued by a large army by now. Minor counties are okay, but once we delve into a city... Starlight City would certainly not let this go."

As he spoke, he paused, "As for cooperation... don’t you think, compared to the ambitious, native-born Three Great Families, Gu Jinlai is a better partner?"

"Elder Sun believes that rumor?"

"It’s not a rumor, it was witnessed by countless people, in broad daylight, how could it be false?"

Elder Sun Tongxuan said, somewhat incredulously, "Who would have thought that Gu Jinlai would take the path of the Demon God Body Refinement? Tsk tsk, this makes us practically family now."

In recent years, Demon Martial Artists no longer called themselves that, instead referring to their cultivation system as Demon God Body Refinement.

They believed they were emulating the ancient Demon Gods, tapping into the power of their bloodlines.

The so-called Demon Blood Essence was merely an external stimulant used to awaken the power of the Demon God within them.

Of course, this was the explanation for those at the top; for ordinary Demon Martial Artists, what it was called didn’t matter as long as it allowed them to gain formidable power and act with impunity.

"Indeed,"

Hearing what Sun Tongxuan said, the two protectors nodded, "Maybe this Elder Gu, the Ancient Town Guardian, might even increase the scale of trade with us. Then, we could obtain more Demon Blood Essence and exchange it for greater power."

Compared to the Three Great Families, Gu Jinlai, being a kindred Demon Martial Artist, indeed naturally had a stance closer to theirs.

The three of them whispered among themselves.

At that moment, a commotion came from outside.

Immediately following, Gu Jinlai entered the main hall, accompanied by Nian Buwang.

However, as soon as he stepped into the hall, the two Demon Martial Artists felt as if they were under the scorching sun, as if they were in the midst of a fierce fire, feeling even their internal demon power being incinerated.

Instantly, the two jumped up, yelling in fear, "Gu Jinlai, what... what bloodline do you have!?"

Gu Jinlai looked at the two of them, slightly surprised.

Then, as if he recalled something, he fully retracted the Great Sun Demon God Body Refinement Method, and the bright aura, similar to a skill halo, of the Great Sun Divine Light also completely hid within his body, becoming lightless.

Only then did the two protectors feel the burning sensation inside them slowly subsiding.

"What happened?"

Elder Sun Tongxuan quickly asked.

He was not a Demon Martial Artist, and therefore not deeply affected by Gu Jinlai’s "Great Sun Divine Light" aura skill.

He only felt that Gu Jinlai himself appeared noble and was nothing like a sinister person.

However, this thought lingered in his mind only briefly before being dismissed outright.

Gu Jinlai, originating from the Purgatory Demon Sect, how could he possibly give off such an immensely virtuous impression?

If someone made such an impression, it was most likely due to his cunning disguise.

As loyal as a traitor might seem.

This ability made him internally vigilant.

No wonder he was once a Refining God Giant of the Purgatory Demon Sect; even though he had changed to a Demon Martial Artist, the various divine abilities he possessed still exceeded the imaginations of these unconventional paths.

"The timing of the Red Blood Sect’s arrival couldn’t be better; had you not come, I would have had to seek you out,"

Gu Jinlai said.

"Oh?"

Elder Sun Tongxuan’s eyes brightened, "Elder Gu... does the garrison commander mean..."

"The trade will continue, and moreover, I want to increase the scale,"

Gu Jinlai was straightforward.

Sun Tongxuan and the two protectors exchanged glances, each seeing the anticipated understanding in the other’s eyes.

Truly fitting for Demon Martial Artists like themselves.

For a moment, the two protectors no longer scrutinized the intense, searing aura emanating from Gu Jinlai, which seemed as if it could burn them. Their gaze towards him softened considerably.

"What does the Ancient Town Guardian mean?"

"The key lies with the Red Blood Sect."

Gu Jinlai said meaningfully, "In Lingxiao City, the Wang, Zhao, and Fang families rebelled. To fulfill their ambitions, they even went mad enough to massacre innocent people of Lingxiao City. Although I led the Meteor Star Guard to suppress them promptly, that night, the city was littered with corpses and rivers of blood, with tens of thousands of civilians dead at the hands of the three families..."

He paused: "Exactly how many tens of thousands... will still need some time to be thoroughly checked."

"Tens of thousands!?"

"Hiss!"

Sun Tongxuan and the two protectors gasped in shock.

What audacity!

What cruelty!

Over the years, although the Wang, Zhao, and Fang families had cooperated with the Red Blood Sect, they had been somewhat tentative in the past, dealing in merely over a thousand or even several hundred people at a time.

Only in the past two years, after making a good amount of money and cultivating numerous experts within their families, did they grow bolder, increasing the number of Human Pills from over a thousand each month to two thousand, and then to three thousand this year.

But as soon as Gu Jinlai took over, he mentioned tens of thousands of people...

If these tens of thousands were to take the maximum value...

It would almost equal the total amount traded by the Three Great Families and the Red Blood Sect over these years.

Truly worthy of being a Purgatory Demon Sect Elder!

Such ruthless determination...

How could the trifling meddling of the Three Great Families compare?

For a moment, even Sun Tongxuan, the Red Blood Sect Elder, felt a bit nervous about Gu Jinlai’s audacity.

"Ancient Town Guardian, with so many people disappearing at once, won’t the Star Master Zhang Luu come down to investigate personally..."

Sun Tongxuan said.

"We Devil God Lineage cultivators, do not compete with years, only with moments!"

Gu Jinlai looked at him: "If an investigation starts, I have my ways to deal with it. Elder Sun need not worry. Just tell me what I can obtain. There are not a few cultivators in my Gu family who follow the Devil God path, and three to fifty jin of Essence Blood might not be enough."

"Well said, not competing with years, only with moments."

Sun Tongxuan quickly calmed down and solemnly said: "With such audacity from the Ancient Town Guardian, our Red Blood Sect naturally cannot underestimate you, eighty jin! Our Red Blood Sect is willing to provide eighty jin of Essence Blood!"

"The efficacy of Essence Blood diminishes over time and is difficult to preserve; these eighty jin of Essence Blood must not exceed one day!"

"Agreed."

Sun Tongxuan nodded firmly: "As a requirement, Elder Gu must prepare thirty thousand Human Pills for us."

"Thirty thousand is too much."

Gu Jinlai spoke, seemingly thinking of something, his heart stirred: "I annihilated the Wang, Fang, and Zhao families, capturing many. All these are high-quality Human Pills, about a thousand individuals, at least possessing Refining organs cultivation. Their value is not less than thirty thousand ordinary Human Pills. I will make the first trade with you using these one thousand captives."

"The worst are at the Refining organs cultivation level."

Sun Tongxuan’s eyes brightened: "Okay, just as the Ancient Town Guardian has said."

"The time will be in half a month, the first trade, and I hope the Sect Leader of the Red Blood Sect can be present. This is our basic respect for each other as collaborators."

As Gu Jinlai spoke, he said, "I have long admired the Red Saber Ancestor."

Sun Tongxuan knew what he meant and also started to smile: "Our Sect Leader will probably also look forward to meeting the Ancient Town Guardian."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

Both parties talked amicably, and after adding a few more details, Sun Tongxuan and the three left with smiles on their faces.

Watching Sun Tongxuan and his companions leave, Gu Jinlai remained silent for a long time.

Eighty jin of Essence Blood!

He proposed three to fifty jin of Essence Blood as a test, but Sun Tongxuan unhesitatingly offered eighty jin!

What did this mean!?

It meant that behind the Red Blood Sect, there were at least forty Upper Demons!

Among these forty Upper Demons, how many were Middle Level Demons, Upper Demons, and even...

Great Demons!?

"So many demons hidden within Lingxiao City, it’s simply..."

Gu Jinlai didn’t know what the Demon Refining Hall and the Meteor Star Guard were even for.

However...

"Come here."

Gu Jinlai called out.

As Nian Buwang entered the hall and bowed, he instructed: "Send Su Nanxing with some men to capture a few Demon Martial Artists. We want them alive."

"Yes."

Nian Buwang bowed and withdrew.
