Chapter 835 The Legendary Place (Please Subscribe)_1

Suddenly, the figure of the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect instantly appeared beside these Elders, and the extremely terrifying pressure emanating from him caused them to close their mouths in minutes...

Thereupon, his gaze turned towards Xu Sheng, his tone icy as he said, "Elder Xu, your contribution is undeniable in our easy victory over the other sects this time!"

Based on the demeanor Xu Sheng had just displayed, it seemed he truly was unaware of that place...

This wasn't necessarily a bad thing; at least with his current strength, he couldn't interfere with the sacrifice happening in a few days!

The light in Xu Sheng's beautiful eyes hardened, "Sect Master, you flatter me, it was you who slain the leaders of the other sects, allowing us to achieve an easy victory."

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect seemed to be intentionally hiding something from him!

Just seconds before, he had been on the other side, but as soon as he asked about "that place," he instantly appeared and interrupted their conversation!

It was indeed suspicious!

But no matter, he would find out about this matter sooner or later...

The other Elders of the Evil Spirit Sect seemed to have also discerned the intentions of their Sect Master, doubt flickering in their eyes, but none chose to speak...

At this moment, the Xie Ling Sect Disciples who had been staring at them all this time, licked the blood off their lips as they came to their senses, "Fantastic! We've actually exterminated the Four Great Sects!!"

"By absorbing their fresh blood, my cultivation level has actually advanced to the Ninth Level of the Nascent Soul Stage! Hahahaha!"

"It's truly irresistible! Just now they were so aggressive, and now there's not a single living person left, no one will be able to stop our Evil Spirit Sect in the future!"

"This is so thrilling! Joining the Evil Spirit Sect was truly the right choice, even the other Four Great Sects had to be annihilated!!"

And there was Shangguan Lin, with several bloody wounds on her delicate body, as she wiped the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth, her beautiful eyes looking towards the unharmed Xu Sheng ahead...

A silent sigh of relief rose from her heart...

If it weren't for the existence of the Sect Protection Array, she would have perished in such chaotic battle long ago...

Upon this thought, she clenched her teeth in frustration and murmured darkly, "Damn it, I was almost killed by disciples from another sect, and Xu Sheng didn't even come to save me!"

But the next moment, her expression dimmed...

Xu Sheng had already returned her vital blood, ceasing to be her master, and probably his concern wasn't tied to her life or death...

Just then, Xu Sheng, who mysteriously appeared beside her, casually glanced at the sword scars on her body, teasing, "How did you end up covered in wounds?"

Startled by his voice, Shangguan Lin quickly steadied her emotions and pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction, "What… what does it matter to you? You're not my... anybody."

Xu Sheng pursed his lips slightly, reached out his hand to ruffle her hair, and said, "Go back to the room and wait for me, I have something to tell you later!"

Feeling the tenderness in Xu Sheng's words and his intimate gesture, her cheeks flushed hot in an instant, and she mumbled, "What… what is it that... it's so serious?"

Could it be that he realized his mistake and wanted to reconcile with her...

So he was too embarrassed to say it here?

The dark pools of Xu Sheng's eyes flickered for a moment before he released his hand, saying softly, "Wait until I return and I'll tell you!"

Having spoken, he turned and followed the steps of the Elders of the Evil Spirit Sect...

The other Xieling Sect Disciples witnessing this scene smacked their lips and said, "Hiss... Could it be that Elder Xu has taken a fancy to this Shangguan Lin? She's cultivated the Yang Harvesting and Yin Nourishing Technique!"

"Who knows! But to talk of love in a place like the Evil Spirit Sect where one could be killed at any moment, only that Elder could manage it!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm afraid Shangguan Lin won't live much longer!"

Shangguan Lin's beautiful eyes swept coldly over them before she turned and left...

Her heart was still filled with the joy and anticipation from earlier...

...

Within the palace of the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect...

The skeletal man seated at the head of the room, who was the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect, shifted his gaze to glance at the Elders of the Evil Spirit Sect...

He then spoke in a cold voice, "Now that we have slain the main forces of the Four Great Sects, the remaining ants can't stir up any storms. Our primary focus should be on the upcoming sacrifice!"

This concerned whether he could step into an even more terrifying level, so no mistakes were permissible.

If any Elder present hindered him, he would choose to eliminate them without mercy!

One of the Elders, with a sinister tone, suggested, "Sect Master, with only three days left until the full moon, I suggest we completely seal off the Evil Spirit Sect and forbid anyone from leaving!"

Another Elder, propping up his chin, agreed, "Hmm! If those disciples find out about this matter, they will spare no effort.

"I think you are all making a fuss over nothing. Only we few present here know about the sacrifice. As long as we don't speak out, how could those disciples possibly know?"

"True, if things continue this way until after three days, there shouldn't be any issues," another chimed in.

Xu Sheng didn't make a sound, instead casting his dark eyes toward the palace's main gate as if sensing something...

At the same time, the gaze of the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect also moved toward the palace gate, and with a clasp of his hand...

The palace doors were opened by an unseen force, revealing a Xieling Sect Disciple who was holding his breath and eavesdropping!

Seeing this, his heart sank, "Damn!"

He immediately turned around and tried to flee...

He could never have imagined that the establishment of the Evil Spirit Sect was actually for the purpose of using them, the disciples, as sacrificial offerings!!

If he hadn't come here to report the casualty situation to the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect and had not accidentally heard this matter, he would still be in the dark!!

However, the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect's lips curled into a cold smile...

Since he had heard about this matter, how could he possibly let him leave? The Sect Master clenched his palm in the air, and the space around the disciple who was trying to flee immediately solidified...

Realizing he couldn't move at all, and as an invisible force dragged him deeper into the palace, he struggled and screamed in terror, "No... Don't! No!! I want to leave..."

A few seconds later, the disciple's entire body was gripped by the neck by the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect, the intense feeling of suffocation causing him to flail...

The Elders who had just mentioned not to overreact watched this disciple's viciously distorted face, their eyes flashing with complexity...

With a "crack," the disciple's body slumped, and then, with a mere thought from the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect, the former instantly turned into crimson blood, which the latter absorbed...

Xu Sheng thought to himself impassively, "Truly an unlucky lad..."

If he hadn't eavesdropped, he might have lived a few more days!

Subsequently, after the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect erupted in a burst of blood light, he said with utmost calm, "Such trivial matters, I do not wish them to affect the entire plan. Do you all understand?"

The other Elders, upon hearing this, said in unison, "Yes, Sect Master!"
