Chapter 618: Chapter 331 Suspected Heavenly Venerable, Azure Sea Abyss

Xiao Xing Lake was in turmoil, a Supreme Expert from the Great Zhou Royal Family was actually killed by the Evergreen Pavilion, and the pride of the Great Zhou family, Princely Heir Zi Yun, nearly got assassinated, fleeing in utter humiliation.

The news spread, causing all the major powers of Great Zhou to be shocked.

This was a provocation to the Great Zhou Royal Family. Did Evergreen Pavilion really have such audacity, so confident that it could withstand the retaliation of the Great Zhou Royal Family?

Martial Artists who were originally planning to visit Evergreen Pavilion, some even seeking medical advice, were suddenly scared to proceed, all waiting to see how the situation would unfold.

Despite the commotion, neither Su Lingxiu, Xu Yan, nor Meng Chong cared at all; just another Supreme Expert who has condensed the Domain Spirit Spark had died, no big deal.

It wasn’t the first time they had killed a Supreme Expert.

Zi Yun voiced her concerns with some worry, “The Great Zhou Royal Family is very powerful, could there be trouble?”

Of course, although she was somewhat worried, she didn’t feel there was any danger, merely that some troubles might arise.

“It’s a minor issue. He attacked first, are we not supposed to fight back?”

Su Lingxiu said nonchalantly.

“Exactly, if the Great Zhou Royal Family is dissatisfied, I’ll just block their imperial palace gates and fight until they submit,”

Xu Yan nodded in agreement.

Zi Yun was amazed, only then remembering that Xu Yan was the audacious person who a few years ago had challenged the Thousand Martial Hall gate, and that now his strength was unimaginably greater.

The Evergreen Pavilion was bustling with activity as Xu Yan shared his experiences in Dachuan State and how he had slain the sabre elder of Thousand Martial Hall.

He took out the cold and detached sabre along with another Divine Artifact and offered it to Meng Chong, “Disciple Brother, do you find this sabre to your liking?”

After weighing it, Meng Chong replied, “The sabre looks good, although I prefer the sabre you refined for me. However, it could be useful. I’m thinking of setting up a Sabre Array.”

Having been impressed by his senior brother’s Sword Array, Meng Chong also began to ponder on creating a Sabre Array.

It was lively inside the Evergreen Pavilion.

Meanwhile, atop Thousand Martial Hall, the Thousand Martial Lord and a group of Elders wore grave expressions. Xu Yan was from the Inner Domain?

Meng Chong was also from the Inner Domain?

In that case, could the master behind Xu Yan and Meng Chong be the Blood Demon?

The calamity of the Blood Demon was like a thorn in the Spirit Sect’s side; thrice fallen and risen, seemingly Undying. If the Blood Demon had indeed risen once more, the danger would undoubtedly be greater.

Learning to hide their presence, to plan before acting, and to nurture disciples of such monstrous talent.

“Transcendent Spirit Sect should also gather. Notify Lord Leiyun, Yuling Mansion, Taimiao Sect, and the family of Great Zhou, to discuss this grave matter,”

the Thousand Martial Lord said with a steely gaze.

“Yes!”

The Sabre Elder had not sent any news for a while. The Lord’s heart was not at ease — had something unexpected happened?

Was he killed by Xu Yan, or by someone behind Xu Yan?

If the Sabre Elder truly had fallen, the Thousand Martial Lord tended to suspect the latter. After all, it was only a few years; Xu Yan could not possibly have the prowess to kill the Sabre Elder.

In a certain part of the Spiritual Realm, above the clouds.

The Thousand Martial Lord came holding another person, accompanied by the Lords of Leiyun Mountain Manor and Yuling Mansion, the Sect Master of Taimiao Sect, and representing the Great Zhou Royal Family, Princely Heir Zi Yun.

“You’ve summoned us here, what is the matter?”

Lord Leiyun asked with a solemn voice.

“The matter of the competition among the young talents will proceed as usual; my Taimiao Sect will not support any breach of the rules,”

the Taimiao Sect Master stated firmly.

As far as Taimiao Sect was concerned, since Xin Mengrou had made a decision regarding the competition of the young talents, no one could change it.

“It’s not about that,”

the Thousand Martial Lord said gravely: “I suspect the Blood Demon has returned!”

This statement caused a sudden change in the expressions of everyone present.

“Is this true?”

Princely Heir Zi Yun asked in shock.

“The Blood Demon cannot possibly have returned. My elder disciple brother killed him back then!”

Taimiao Sect Master said coldly.

Gazing coldly at the Thousand Martial Lord, “What evidence do you have?”

“This person is from the Inner Domain, arriving during the last opening of the Spiritual Realm Gate. The known information indicates that Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Evergreen Pavilion all come from the Inner Domain and they are fellow sect members,”

the Thousand Martial Lord said, holding up Zi Yun.

Both the Lord of Yuling Mansion and Princely Heir Zi Yun turned to look at Zi Yun, asked in a heavy tone, “Is this true?”

Zi Yun’s complexion was ashen, shaking to the core. How could he still hide the truth at this point?

“Xu Yan indeed comes from the Inner Domain; Meng Chong is also from the Inner Domain. In the Inner Domain, they are exceptional talents, invincible talents; they are our master, a noble and mysterious figure.”

The Thousand Martial Lord declared, “We all should be clear about the Lower Region of the Inner Domain. Aside from the Blood Demon who escaped there years ago, where would there be any noble person?

“It is without a doubt that the person behind Xu Yan is the Blood Demon of old!”

The Lord of Yuling Mansion and Princely Heir Zi Yun nodded, their expressions grave. Aside from the Blood Demon, had there ever been a noble figure in the Inner Domain?

“Impossible, the Blood Demon is long dead, buried by my elder disciple brother personally. That Xu Yan and Meng Chong are from the Inner Domain, my elder disciple brother is also aware and has investigated; they are certainly not the Blood Demon,”

the Taimiao Sect Master shook his head.

Lord Leiyun spoke with a serious expression, “My Leiyun Mountain Manor has had some dealings with the Evergreen Pavilion and also sought treatment from the Alchemical Medical Fairy. We have met the man.

“I agree with what the Taimiao Sect Master has said. He is definitely not the Blood Demon, he is…the Heavenly Venerable!”

As he spoke the last words, Lord Leiyun’s voice was deep, “The origins of the Heavenly Venerable, his intentions, are beyond our ken. My Leiyun Mountain Manor shall not be involved in this matter.”

The countenances of the people from Yuling Mansion shifted, and they exclaimed in astonishment, “Is this true?”

“I’m ninety percent sure!”

Lord Leiyun stated gravely.

“So it is not the Blood Demon?”
