Chapter 872 People from the Demonic Sect Arrive!
Besides these top-tier combat forces, the Blood Sea Demon Sect also has various important departments, each overseen by a Celestial-level cultivator.
For example, the Ten Netherworld Messengers, led by a mid-stage Celestial Being.
Led by a late-stage Celestial Realm expert, the Twelve Blood Lotus Envoys each wield a portion of the power of a Twelve-Petal Blood Lotus (Karmic Fire Red Lotus) formed from a placenta. They are responsible for spreading the teachings of the Styx Ancestor within the sect and carrying out various tasks of the sect.
Even among the direct descendants of the Styx Ancestor, there is a Ghost Mother Serving Group!
The group consists of female disciples of the Blood Sea Demonic Sect, led by Ghost Mother, one of the four great figures brought by Styx, a late-stage Celestial Realm expert known as "Ghost Mother" in the martial arts world. They are skilled in bewitching and seducing people, recruiting new believers and disciples for the Blood Sea Demonic Sect, and are also loyal protectors of Styx Ancestor.
...
Su Ye closed his eyes, recalling the records about the Blood Sea Demon Sect in the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven). After pondering for a moment, he slowly walked to the desk in the study.
The flickering candlelight cast his long shadow on the wall, like a dynamic painting.
Just then, a dark figure appeared silently beside Su Ye like a ghost; it was none other than his personal attendant, Jing Ni.
Jing Ni was still wearing a tight-fitting fishnet outfit, only revealing a pair of eyes that gleamed with a cold light.
She walked silently to the table, gently grasped the inkstone with her right hand, and began to grind ink for Su Ye. The ink slowly dissolved in the inkstone, emitting a faint fragrance that mingled with the scholarly atmosphere of the study, creating a remarkably tranquil environment.
Su Ye's gaze fell on the spread-out Xuan paper. He had already made up his mind. He picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and lightly touched the paper with the tip of the brush. Then he began to write as smoothly as flowing water.
"To the esteemed Lord of the Styx: I am Su Ye, the Duke of Zhenguo of the Great Qian Dynasty. I have recently heard that you have recovered from your injuries, which is truly a cause for celebration. I have an important matter to discuss with you today, and I wish to borrow the power of the Blood Sea Demon Sect under your command to jointly devise a grand plan."
After carefully stating his purpose and needs in the letter, Su Ye examined it carefully. After confirming that everything was correct, he gently blew on the ink to dry it, folded the letter, put it into a sealed envelope, turned around and handed the envelope to Jing Ni, saying in a deep voice.
"Jing Ni, immediately dispatch the most reliable disciple of the Luo Wang to deliver this letter to the headquarters of the Blood Sea Demon Sect."
Jingni accepted the envelope, bowed respectfully, and then vanished like a ghost into the shadows of the study, leaving only the faint scent of ink and the flickering candlelight.
Su Ye stood by the desk, gazing in the direction where Jing Ni had disappeared, pondering to himself that this move was extremely risky, but if successful, it would rewrite the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall situation, character, and overall destiny).
The Blood Sea Demonic Sect's strength should not be underestimated. With their addition, my chances of defeating the new emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty have undoubtedly increased significantly.
Time flies like an arrow, and several hours have passed in the blink of an eye. Su Ye paced back and forth in the study, feeling slightly anxious.
Establishing contact with the Styx River is no easy task. The Blood Sea Demonic Cult operates in secrecy and is heavily guarded, so delivering the letter safely will not be a task that can be accomplished overnight.
However, just as he was feeling uneasy, the study window was suddenly pushed open gently, and a dark figure flashed in.
Su Ye's heart tightened, and he looked closely. He saw Jing Ni standing in front of the window with a hint of joy on her face.
"Your Highness, the letter has been successfully delivered to the Blood Sea Demon Sect's headquarters. The Styx Sect Master has personally read it and dispatched an envoy to Hengzhou."
Jing Ni quickly approached Su Ye, bowed slightly, and reported softly.
"Where is the messenger now?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ye was overjoyed and quickly asked.
"Among the Blood Sea Demonic Cult, an envoy stationed in Hengzhou has secretly arrived near Tianheng Prefecture and is awaiting Your Highness's summons."
Jingni pointed slightly outside and replied.
"Jingni, immediately arrange for a messenger to come to my study to see me."
Su Ye nodded, secretly praising the efficiency of the Luo Wang organization. After a moment of contemplation, he gave the order.
Jing Ni accepted the order and left. Not long after, an envoy dressed in a dark red robe quietly appeared in the study.
"I am a disciple of Blood Abyss Demon Lord, a protector of the Blood Sea Demon Sect. I have come here on the orders of the Styx Sect Master to discuss important matters with the Lord of the State."
He bowed respectfully to Su Ye and introduced himself.
Su Ye glanced at the envoy, noticing his cold expression and extraordinary aura in his eyes. He then smiled and nodded, gesturing for the envoy to sit down and talk.
"It is truly my good fortune that your sect has responded so swiftly. I wonder what instructions the Lord of the Styx have?"
Su Ye cut to the chase and asked.
"The Holy Lord is aware of the Duke of Zhenguo's intentions and is willing to lend him a hand. He has specially ordered me to come here to discuss important matters with the Duke of Zhenguo and has brought elite disciples from the sect to serve him."
Upon hearing this, the envoy immediately became serious and said...
Upon hearing this, Su Ye was overjoyed. With the addition of the Blood Sea Demon Sect as a new force, his chances of defeating Si Yiqi in secret had increased.
...
Several days later, the skyline of Hengzhou appeared exceptionally tranquil at dawn, but beneath this tranquility, undercurrents were surging.
Su Ye stood alone on the city wall of Tianheng Prefecture with Jing Ni from Luo Wang and his personal guard Xuan Wu, gazing into the distance with a sense of anticipation.
Cooperation with a notorious demonic sect like the Blood Sea Demonic Sect on the Tianwu Continent couldn't be done openly and ostentatiously; Su Ye had no choice but to personally come and meet them.
Just as Su Ye was lost in thought, a subtle spatial fluctuation quietly emerged, followed by a deep and eerie aura enveloping the hidden corners near Tianheng Mansion.
As a stench of blood wafted over, the first thing that caught the eye was a dark red robe, with blood-red ripples and Asura totems that flickered in the breeze. It was none other than Zizaitian Bo Xun, the eldest disciple of the Styx Ancestor, who appeared silently with several demonic sect experts, moving with an almost invisible gait.
Following closely behind was Brahma, the second disciple of Styx. He was surrounded by a faint Buddhist light, which was quite different from the usual Buddhist aura and had a strange, demonic quality. Both of them had already reached the early stage of the Celestial Realm and could stand alone in the outside world.
After the two appeared, an even more powerful aura swept over them. Blood Abyss Demon Lord, the great protector of the Blood Sea Demon Sect and a powerful expert in the late stage of the Celestial Realm, was like a walking mountain of blood, instantly causing the entire space to tremble.
In the shadows, an even more stealthy figure approached silently. The Shadow Blood Demon—the most skilled assassin among the four Blood Demons—possessed a cultivation level of the early Celestial Realm, yet capable of taking lives without a sound.
Then, twelve Blood Lotus Envoys, dressed in magnificent robes and wearing Nether Iron Crowns, slowly entered the scene. Led by a late-stage Celestial Realm expert, each of them held a portion of the power of a twelfth-grade Blood Lotus formed from a placenta. In a sense, these twelve could be considered extensions of the will of the Styx Ancestor.
The arrival of these twelve Blood Lotus Envoys signifies that the Styx Ancestor's support for Su Ye has risen to the level of the entire sect.
