BXBX NOVEL Chapter 205 - 206: The Demon Cult
Nan Lingsha took out a scroll of painting.
As she tossed the scroll into the air and it flipped, Zhu Minglang saw that it depicted a downpour.
The scroll slowly dissolved, but the dark clouds suddenly enveloped the bloody altar atop the hill.
Zhu Minglang initially thought it was a cleansing rain that would wash away all the sin and mess here, but the rain from the clouds was like rain nails, piercing into the hill and the blood pool below.
They were rainwater, yet they possessed strong piercing capabilities. The dense rain nails fell, collapsing the hill and also nailing the blood leech Dragon that was transforming into a dragon to death.
That Blood Leech Dragon was exceptionally powerful.
It had just begun its transformation and had already shown the aura of a Dragon General. In the blood pool, the blood-red leech dragon was twisting its ferocious body, crazily ramming the surrounding rocks, trying to dodge the rain nails falling from the sky.
“Qing Zhuo, purify it,” called Zhu Minglang, summoning the Divine Green Holy Dragon.
The Divine Green Holy Dragon flew, its green vertical pupils intently watching the direction in which the Blood Leech Dragon was fleeing. The Blood Leech Dragon was tricky and weird as it could actually turn into a stream of bloody pus and flow into the fissures between the rocks.
The patterns of the Divine Green Holy Dragon lit up in green. It opened its mouth and spewed out a beam of green light, penetrating all the rocks and making the cursed blood boil
The radiance of the Holy Dragon had an extremely potent effect of purification and annihilating wickedness. The Blood Leech Dragon attempted to split into countless smaller leeches, but ultimately, they were eradicated by the dragon light expelled by the Divine Green Holy Dragon!
Rain nails baptism.
Holy light purification.
The Blood Leech Dragon was completely eradicated.
Zhu Minglang had the Divine Green Holy Dragon convert the corpses into nutrients for the earth, a gift to the verdant wilderness, which also prevented the vengeful spirits of evil from generating more sinister creatures that shouldn’t exist.
After dealing with this, Zhu Minglang finally felt a great burden lifted.
This type of Blood Leech Dragon was more terrifying than cannibalistic demons that lived for thousands of years. They fed in the same manner, and a creature of Dragon General Level, if extremely cunning, could bring disaster upon nearby towns and villages—let alone if this Blood Leech Dragon continued to increase its cultivation base, it was likely to become a slaughterer of ten thousand souls.
“Perhaps it’s the heavens taking pity on the people, yet unable to attend to everything, so they granted Miss Xinghua the ability to encounter disasters,” Zhu Minglang said.
To eradicate such malevolent beings before they were born was indeed the highest form of good.
“You should also drive away those accumulated resentments,” Nan Lingsha said.
Zhu Minglang nodded, extending his hand and began Soul Collecting Pearl Brewing.
The Dragon Soul of the Blood Leech Dragon was nothing more than those wretched souls. They wandered around this hill, still forming a thick miasma of death that attracted evil spirits.
Perhaps it was because it had just transformed into a dragon.
The Soul Beads that Zhu Minglang collected were of very high quality, still retaining the aura of spiritual transformation from the dragon’s transformation. Such Soul Beads were very suitable for Spirit Beasts to cross the Dragon Gate!
It seemed that virtuous deeds led to significant rewards.
However, the Dragon Balls had too much negative energy and weren’t very compatible with the nature of his own Dragon Beasts
He thought that those dragon trainers who raised Bone Dragons, Corpse Dragons, and Ghost Dragons would be willing to buy these at a high price.
For the time being, he put them away and Zhu Minglang also breathed a sigh of relief.
This should be no problem now.
It won’t be long before the hill is covered with lush green grass and trees, giving those lost souls a place to rest.
Having left the hill, they returned to the team, where the others were waiting for them, having evidently waited for some time.
“What did you two go off to do on your own?” Wen Mengru asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Hehe, young people are all about having fun. Ten years ago, my husband and I also liked to sneak off to scenic spots to do some crazy things… Ah, now we’re just ordinary mortals toiling away,” sighed the wife of the Dragon Shepherd.
Wen Mengru immediately understood the implication and her cheeks flushed red. She spat in embarrassment and quickly rode up on the back of the Big Horned Dragon, no longer inquiring.
The two Swordswoman sisters nearby were very curious. Being younger, they didn’t understand what these crazy things were and asked without any hesitation.
The atmosphere turned awkward for a moment, and Zhu Minglang, not wishing to discuss the prophecy, explained that he was simply accompanying Nan Lingsha to paint from the scenery.
“Ahem, little junior brother, just bear with it a little longer. We’ll be at Long River City soon. The main issue is that you two were gone for quite some time, and everyone is getting impatient,” Wu Feng whispered to Zhu Minglang.
“Brother Wu Feng, you’re worldly wise; there’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you. Actually, when Nan Lingsha and I walked off into the distance, we found an altar on a hill…” Zhu Minglang spoke in a low voice.
Zhu Minglang described the situation there to Wu Feng, whose face also showed a few traces of astonishment.
After pondering for a while, he said, “There is a City of Sin that worships the God without eyes. They believe that all the tyranny, sin, and impulsivity in the world originate from the eyes, which deceive people’s thoughts and drag the living into the abyss of corruption bit by bit… Of course, that’s their public rationale. In fact, they often force people into their cult, then cut out their eyes, making them lose their self-sufficiency. In the end, they can only listen to the voice of the Eyeless Sect, becoming slaves to it.”
Zhu Minglang furrowed his brows.
The Supreme Court Continent is quite vast, and many places are in a state of isolation. Even the civilization of Li Chuan Continent far surpasses some neglected tribes, allowing many strange and heretical deities’ ideas to infiltrate the minds of the ignorant, developing into evil sects.
Although Dragon Shepherds and Divine and Mortal beings initially flourished through sects, gradually becoming powerful, there are countless sects in this bizarre world that exploit seemingly miraculous phenomena to amass wealth and expand their influence.
The Eyeless Sect is one of them.
Most frighteningly, some sects indeed possess secret teachings that can make the people within them powerful in a short time, or turn an ordinary person into a Dragon Shepherd or a Divine and Mortal being.
“Our journey was supposed to merely brush past Monument City, but if you want to get to the bottom of this, we can change course and rest there. The Eyeless Sect should have a stronghold in that place,” Wu Feng said.
Zhu Minglang looked back at Li Xinghua; the unease on her face did not seem to have diminished much.
“Alright, let’s go to Monument City.”
“I’ll find the right moment to speak with the sisters from the Miao Mountain Sword Sect about this. For such matters, they are duty-bound to act,” Wu Feng said.
The Sword Sect is one of the Four Great Sects of the Supreme Court Continent, and what they value most is walking the righteous path and doing good.
The Yaoshan Sword Sect is in constant conflict with the City of Sin all year round.
The Miao Mountain Sword Sect cannot tolerate even a trace of the Evil Sect or Demon Sect in its eyes.
