Inside and outside the immortal city, hundreds of thousands of cultivators fell into a dead silence.
Demoness Biyue? Was he referring to True Person Biyue?
Ever since Biyue Immortal City was established, True Person Biyue had maintained a stellar reputation. Who would dare call her a demoness?
"Who is he? How dare he insult the Master like this?"
"It doesn't matter who he is. This is a grudge between Masters, so keep your mouth shut..."
"Who exactly is this Master? Among all the Masters in the Taiyuan Region, I've never heard of someone like him..."
After a brief silence, the countless cultivators broke into heated discussion.
"He must be one of the Master's enemies..."
"To think someone with her peaceful, uncontentious nature actually has enemies?"
Judging purely by the methods this Master was displaying, there was an eighty percent chance he was not on the righteous path.
Furthermore, given the reputation True Person Biyue had painstakingly built, any normal cultivator would naturally side with her.
Even the most vicious and wicked bandit cultivators preferred dealing with those of good repute. Who would reject a cultivator with sterling character?
'That is...'
You stared in a daze. Although the appearance and figure of the blood-robed man on the blood sea had changed, you were certain he was True Person Blood Sea.
Over ten years ago, bound by a Heart Demon Oath, you had let True Person Blood Sea go.
You never expected there would come a day when you met again, let alone under these circumstances.
'Demoness Biyue... The "demoness" True Person Blood Sea mentioned is True Person Biyue? The female cultivator who caused the Shanhai Sect Master and True Person Blood Sea to fight to the death hundreds of years ago?'
A chill ran through your heart.
For decades, you had been investigating the identity of the female cultivator who provoked those two Masters into a deathmatch, wondering just what kind of peerless beauty she was.
You simply never expected that she was right beside you all along. For decades, you had been living right under her nose.
"Sigh—"
A sigh echoed. It sounded like spring water washing over jade—melodious, ethereal, and carrying a holy sense of supreme compassion.
An indistinct figure had appeared in the sky above the immortal city at some unknown point.
You could vaguely make out the graceful curves of a female cultivator in a white dress. A phantom green moon surfaced behind her, illuminating the world in every direction.
"It's the Master! True Person Biyue!"
The hundreds of thousands of cultivators below erupted into a frenzy. For three hundred years, True Person Biyue had stayed true to her original intentions, constantly backing rogue cultivators and those of low status. Her reputation was unparalleled.
Even the sect cultivators held her in immense respect. A Master who sacrificed her own interests for the sake of the downtrodden was someone they would not deliberately target, even if they did not share her ideals.
"Demoness Biyue, you finally show yourself!"
True Person Blood Sea's eyes faintly transformed into pools of blood, brewing with boundless hatred, and the surging sea of blood beneath his feet began to boil.
"Since you survived, why go to such lengths?"
True Person Biyue's face remained hazy, save for a faint glimpse of her pink lips.
"Why go to such lengths? The one thing I regret most in this life is that in Jiu..."
True Person Blood Sea's tone was agitated, but just as he was about to continue...
In the very next moment, True Person Biyue raised her right hand and slowly pressed it toward him.
In an instant, the green moon swept across the sky, bearing down on the surging sea of blood with overwhelming force.
"Let me see just how much you've grown over these three hundred years, demoness!"
True Person Blood Sea let out a maniacal laugh. In the blink of an eye, his blood-red hair turned ash-gray, and an aura infinitely close to the Core Formation Middle Stage erupted from his body.
'Burning his origin and everything else?'
Watching from below, your expression turned grave.
It was obvious that True Person Blood Sea had resorted to a forbidden secret art. Even if he won this battle, he would not survive.
'True Person Blood Sea... never planned on going back alive...'
You could see his absolute resolve.
He intended to trade his own life to drag True Person Biyue down with him, or at the very least, inflict a crippling wound upon her.
High in the sky, two massive auras violently clashed. The terrifying shockwaves of their magical power shook the heavens and the earth.
"Demoness Biyue, die with me! Let's go down together, down to see my senior brother..."
True Person Blood Sea descended into total madness. The sea of blood beneath his feet began to burn, as did his very flesh.
"Noisy..."
The hazy figure of True Person Biyue frowned slightly and extended her right hand once more.
A colossal hand, formed entirely of magical power, materialized and snatched at True Person Blood Sea.
Wherever the giant hand passed, all shockwaves were smoothed away, and True Person Blood Sea's burning magical aura was rapidly suppressed.
"What is this?"
"Demoness Biyue, you actually broke through to the late stage..."
True Person Blood Sea clearly had not anticipated this, shock and rage coloring his voice.
But a moment later, the sky-blotting hand seized him, grabbing both him and the sea of blood beneath his feet.
Bang!
A muffled explosion echoed from within the massive hand, followed immediately by dead silence.
True Person Biyue stood tall in the clouds. She glanced down at the hundreds of thousands of cultivators below before her figure plummeted and vanished.
"She won? True Person Biyue won?"
"I knew it! The Master's magical power is boundless. How could a mere evil path Core Formation cultivator possibly pose a threat to her?"
"Did the Master's final move reach the power of the Core Formation Late Stage?"
Inside and outside the immortal city, countless cultivators spoke with soaring excitement.
However, the expressions of a few middle and late Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as several core formation masters, shifted slightly.
The overwhelming power True Person Biyue had unleashed with her final grasp, combined with the evil Master's dying roar, proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was not at the Core Formation Middle Stage, but the Core Formation Late Stage.
A cultivator at the Core Formation Late Stage was also known as a grand master. They possessed the power to utterly obliterate early and middle-stage Masters, and they held the hope of pushing through to the Nascent Soul stage.
'A grand master at the Core Formation Late Stage?'
Your mind trembled. Decades ago, when True Person Biyue had failed her breakthrough to the late stage, you had even lamented it.
'True Person Biyue has been deliberately hiding her true realm... What is she planning?'
Your thoughts spun wildly.
If True Person Biyue was truly the "demoness" True Person Blood Sea claimed she was, then the foundation of trust you had built for her began to fracture.
Granted, True Person Blood Sea was not a righteous cultivator, and even that sect master from the Shanhai Sect could not exactly be considered a good person either.
But could True Person Biyue—who had tangled with both of them and ultimately caused them to turn against each other—really be a good person?
Most importantly, if the Shanhai Sect Master and True Person Blood Sea harbored a bitter blood feud with True Person Biyue, then as an orthodox successor of the Shanhai Sect who practiced the Shanhai Art...
Would you not also be a target for True Person Biyue to weed out by the roots?
You looked around. Because True Person Biyue had forcefully struck down True Person Blood Sea and revealed the strength of a grand master, hundreds of thousands of cultivators inside and outside the city were beaming with joy.
Yet, the only thought on your mind was to run away.
'I cannot stay in Biyue Immortal City anymore!'
Your decision was made.
