Chapter 681 - 681: It’s You! You Hid Yourself Very Well
“Why?” Jiang Hao chuckled. “Because it amuses me.”
“You…” The group of people were speechless.
“Don’t you think you’re taking this too far? Why are you targeting us? We didn’t do anything to offend you,” someone said.
Jiang Hao couldn’t help but laugh. He pointed to the disciples who had fainted.
“What about them? Did they offend you? Why were you planning to kill them?”
“It’s their good fortune to pave the way for Senior Qian Chen’s path. Not everyone has that privilege,” someone said.
“I see… Such an honor, indeed,” said Jiang Hao.
Just when they thought Jiang Hao understood, they suddenly saw a beam of moonlight.
Whoosh!
The person who had just spoken had their head separated from their body.
At that moment, Jiang Hao slowly lowered his sword. “Well, I’ve been studying the Heavenly Blade lately. It’s your supreme honor to be my test subject.”
Jiang Hao looked at the others. “You all agree with me, right?” The crowd looked at each other. They were afraid to speak.
“Do you not agree with me?” Jiang Hao waved his sword again.
Whoosh!
Another person’s head was severed from their body.
The blood was incinerated. Qian Chen didn’t have a chance to absorb it.
“I agree! I agree!” someone said.
Jiang Hao smiled. “That’s more like it.”
“Friend, why argue with us here? The Heavenly Note Sect is under attack. Many are being called to defend it. There are plenty of opportunities outside for someone of your cultivation realm.” The man in the Foundation Establishment Realm tried to persuade him. “Why not go out of the sect and take a look?”
Jiang Hao’s heart skipped a beat. ‘Someone is attacking the Heavenly Note Sect?
I can’t stay here for long. If a fight breaks out, it will create problems at the Spirit Herb Garden.’
Jiang Hao was about to make his move. However, someone acted before him.
At that moment, Qian Chen stood up in the midst of the blood. He was surrounded by countless rivers of blood. In an instant, these rivers of blood surged and pierced through the black-robed figures.
The black-robed people turned to look at Qian Chen in surprise.
One of them shouted, “Senior, you must succeed!”
The man in the Foundation Establishment Realm whispered, “I truly wanted to join you, Senior, in founding a sect.”
Qian Chen looked at them with emotion. He felt sad to do this.
He wanted to let go of the blood rivers in his hands.
“Let’s do it,” said the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. “We’ve come so far… we can’t give up now. We can’t fail.”
Qian Chen looked at the others. In the end, his face darkened. “I’m sorry.”
Then, he started to extract the blood from the disciples. This left a bloodstone monument in front of him. It bore many names.
Jie Sheng from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion and Dong Liu from the Ice Moon Valley were two names visible.
Dozens of names were engraved on the monument.
“Although I can’t take you with me to create a sect, I will succeed and leave your names to be remembered for eternity.”
These people watched as their blood was absorbed by Qian Chen. They dedicated themselves to this great cause without any resentment.
Jiang Hao observed from a distance as he saw Qian Chen absorb the blood and merge it with other blood. The names continued to appear.
When all the black-robed people fell, the process of blood fusion neared its end.
However, it was still missing something.
At that moment, Qian Chen looked at Jiang Hao. “Do we have a grudge against
“Perhaps,” Jiang Hao said casually.
Qian Chen lowered his head. “Actually, I’m lacking one more blood vow.” “Do you want me to help you?” Jiang Hao asked. Qian Chen shook his head. “No, because you’re not my blood vow.”
“Then, is it going to fail?” Jiang Hao asked.
“No, it can’t fail!” Qian Chen shook his head. “May I know who you really are? For you to enter the Heavenly Note Sect so openly… you must not be your true self.”
Jiang Hao looked at the person in front of him and smiled. He activated the Heavenly Cauldron and also the Mountain Sea Seal.
Jiang Hao put down the fan, and his appearance changed.
“Senior Brother Qian Chen, it’s been too long,” Jiang Hao said softly.
He looked calm and indifferent.
Qian Chen was momentarily stunned, but then he felt relieved. “It’s you! You hid yourself so well.”
“Do you think I am part of the Blood Wish Path?” Jiang Hao asked. He hadn’t received an answer before, but now, he could ask.
“You knew why I was looking for you back then?” Qian Chen was surprised. Jiang Hao nodded. “Yes. That is why I came to find you.”
“I see,” Qian Chen said. “A change of mind can make a world of difference.” Then, he shook his head. “Junior brother, you are not part of the Blood Wish
Path. ”
“Why?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.
“Profound practitioners of the Blood Wish Path are impossible to discern, but you are indeed not one who practices Blood Wish Path. It’s just my intuition.”
“Is there anything else you want to say, Senior?” The Heavenly Sword appeared in Jiang Hao’s hand.
From the moment he restored his appearance, he had decided that he would kill this person.
“Just one last reminder… Within the sect, there are people paying attention to the Blood Wish Path, and you may have caught their eye, ” Qian Chen said as a warning.
“I know. They’re the Saint Bandits,” said Jiang Hao.
Qian Chen was surprised, but he didn’t say anything.
He looked at the blood around him. “I’m only one person away from success. I cannot fail, so…”
Blood started to ooze from Qian Chen’s body. “Since they trusted me this much, how can I let them down? I promised to leave their names to be remembered for eternity, and I am the best practitioner of the Blood Wish Path here.”
Jiang Hao was ready to take action. He noticed that Qian Chen’s vitality was dissipating. However, the blood had completely merged together, and the earth was flowing with it.
In this state, it seemed as though Qian Chen had gained some sort of enlightenment. He began inscribing characters on a bloodstone monument created from the merged blood.
The faster he wrote, the more blood he consumed, and the thicker the aura of death became.
Jiang Hao watched without intervening.
After a long time, Qian Chen made the final stroke, and he laughed. “It’s done! It’s really possible! I’ve been preparing for hundreds of years for this. I prepared for this moment when I first joined the Heavenly Note Sect. Finally, I’ve accomplished it.”
“Congratulations, Senior,” Jiang Hao said as he looked at Qian Chen. His vitality was about to fade away.
Qian Chen looked at the stone monument and wrote down his name.
“Qian Chen of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion.”
He then looked at Jiang Hao.
“This is the best ending for me. Even if I were to live, I wouldn’t escape very far. The Heavenly Note Sect may lack in other aspects, but it doesn’t fall short in bearing grudges. They would still find ways to kill me even if I flee to another sect since I’ve killed so many of the sect’s disciples..”
