Chapter 275 Lotus Gate Shady Deal

Atop Blood Marionette Mountain.

With the first person coming forward to snitch, others quickly followed suit.

Those who were denounced either retaliated by reporting the informer, or dragged others down with them.

The scene became incredibly chaotic, and if their cultivation levels hadn't been sealed and Yu Qingtan hadn't killed a few who tried to take action, the situation would have been even more unmanageable.

After a full hour, the reporting finally subsided, most people had bloodshot eyes and had long lost the sorrow over their sect gate's demise.

The number of wicked individuals rooted out amounted to a staggering forty percent.

Yu Qingtan didn't hesitate, summoning a rain of fire to burn these scum away.

Shen Wanning had not witnessed the beast tide firsthand back then, so this was her first time seeing such slaughter, and she was quite unsettled. However, she still managed to endure it, clinging to Yu Qingtan's arm throughout the ordeal.

After temporarily confining the remaining disciples of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect with a formation, Yu Qingtan and her company proceeded to the sect's treasury and Scripture Pavilion, looting all treasures and books.

Adding the spoils from all the captured and slain cultivators, Yu Qingtan amassed an equivalent of fifteen thousand top-grade Spirit Stones just from Spirit Stones alone.

There were also various treasures which, at a rough estimate, were worth more than thirty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

Among them, Yu Qingtan could make use of one and a half sets of Innate Five Elements materials, as well as two portions each of Innate Ren Water and Innate Gui Water essences.

Yu Qingtan entrusted the task of opening the treasure vault to the lucky star Shen Wanning, and indeed, the haul surpassed even Yu Qingtan's expectations.

Yu Qingtan shared the treasures, including a portion of the Innate Ren Water essence and a portion of the Innate Gui Water essence, with Shen Wanning, turning her into a little rich lady too.

After scavenging the spoils, Yu Qingtan and Shen Wanning returned to the outer city of Blood Puppet Immortal City.

The person she had been waiting for had already arrived.

"Lotus Gate Master Xue, Fellow Daoist Shun, you're a bit slow, aren't you?" Yu Qingtan said with a light chuckle.

The newcomers were the newly appointed gate master of the Lotus Gate, True Person Xue Shuangsu, and her Dao Companion, True Person Shun Xuyu.

"Physician Qing, Deacon Shen, has the Blood Shadow Demon Sect really been defeated by you?" True Person Xuyu asked doubtfully, furrowing her brows.

"Fellow Daoist Shun, remember, it was your Lotus Gate that destroyed the Blood Shadow Demon Sect. Isn't that right, Gate Master Xue?"

"That's right, our enmity with the Blood Shadow Demon Sect runs as deep as the sea, and they even attacked our Black Tungsten Mountain recently. So, we seized the moment when their elites were all deployed and obliterated the Blood Shadow Demon Sect!" True Person Xue replied with a smile.

It turned out that before Yu Qingtan infiltrated Blood Puppet Immortal City, she had already sent word to the Lotus Gate, which was very close to the Blood Shadow Demon Sect.

Yu Qingtan was willing to hand over all of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect's domains, assets, sect gates, Immortal City, mines, spiritual fields, and medicine fields unconditionally to the Lotus Gate.

In return, the Lotus Gate had to take responsibility for the extermination of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect and were not to restrict the growth of the Sect of Commoners.

Even though the leader of the Sect of Commoners, Wei Cangsheng, had told her to go ahead as he could cover for her, Yu Qingtan still decided to play it safe and rope in the Lotus Gate.

Thus, this skewed transaction took place.

Inter-sect conflicts among human race sect forces of the same level were in accordance with the internal rules of the human race, considered healthy competition.

However, as the Sect of Commoners was a force at the Divinity Transformation level, exterminating the Blood Shadow Demon Sect—despite no Nascent Soul cultivators being involved—was a matter up for debate.

"Gate Master Xue indeed possesses extraordinary boldness. Please, come into the city so we can discuss further," Yu Qingtan said with a beaming smile, inviting True Persons Xue and Shun.

"Certainly!"

True Persons Xue and Shun did not recognize Yu Qingtan's current identity as Physician Qing, but the immense benefit was worth taking a risk for.

The four arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in the inner city of Blood Puppet Immortal City and talked for an entire day.

The next day, a large number of cultivators from Lotus Gate arrived at Blood Puppet Immortal City to take over the properties of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect.

Some forces belonging to the Blood Shadow Demon Sect even tried to resist, but they were all forcibly suppressed by the cultivators from Lotus Gate.

Yu Qingtan even handed over the bodies of the ten Golden Core Cultivators from the Blood Shadow Demon Sect to true person Xue Shuangsu.

That night, the reinforcing cultivators from the Blood Shadow Demon Sect finally arrived at Blood Puppet Immortal City.

As soon as the newcomers approached Blood Puppet Immortal City, true person Xue Shuangsu directly controlled the Protective City Formation and launched an attack.

"Halt!

The figures of true person Xue Shuangsu and true person Zhen Dexiu appeared within the Protective City Formation.

"Xue Shuangsu, Zhen Dexiu, it's you!

How come you are inside the city, and can control the Protective City Formation, could it be?"

"That's right, our Lotus Gate has already breached the Sect Gate of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect and eradicated them. True Lord Dexiu, you should just go back to where you came from."

True person Xue Shuangsu said with a smile.

Yu Qingtan, who originally planned to have Lotus Gate and its backer, Qunfang Pavilion, step in, smiled upon seeing the newcomers.

It turned out that the Blood Shadow Demon Sect cultivators who came to support were only two people. One was True Lord Zhen Dexiu, and although the other had altered their appearance, Yu Qingtan recognized him with ease; it was indeed Fang Ling.

"Good, good, good! Your Lotus Gate really has the audacity of a bear and the guts of a leopard, daring to make a move on the peripheral powers of my Blood Shadow Demon Sect. Today, you will pay the price!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Dexiu burst into an enraged laughter, emanating an early Nascent Soul aura. A giant hammer, over ten zhang long, appeared in his hand and smashed towards the Protective City Formation of Blood Puppet Immortal City.

The light membrane of the Protective City Formation fluctuated, but nothing happened.

After all, it was a Fourth Stage inferior Great Array, capable of blocking ordinary early Nascent Soul cultivators; however, Zhen Dexiu was not an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

True person Xue Shuangsu furrowed her brows.

Yu Qingtan, however, appeared beside true person Xue Shuangsu and spoke lightly under true person Xue Shuangsu's somewhat surprised gaze.

"True Lord Dexiu, ah, no, you should now be addressed as true lord. You're quite imposing, aren't you!"

In reality, Yu Qingtan also transmitted a message with her own voice to Fang Ling at her side.

"Fang Ling, it's me, help me take care of this."

Fang Ling's pupils constricted, as he cast a deep glance at "Physician Qing" and then transmitted a message to Zhen Dexiu.

Previously, in the ruins of the Blood God Cult, Fang Ling saved Zhen Dexiu's life, and the price was Zhen Dexiu's servitude to Fang Ling for a hundred years.

In the ruins of the Blood God Cult, Fang Ling granted Zhen Dexiu many benefits, allowing the latter to congeal his Nascent Soul within the ruins, while Fang Ling himself broke through to the late stage of Golden Core.

Not long ago, the two emerged from the Blood God Cult ruins.

Impersonating the attendant of True Lord Dexiu, Fang Ling entered the Blood Shadow Demon Sect.

Because Zhen Dexiu was young when he formed his Nascent Soul and had a boundless future ahead, he became the Young Sect Master of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect.

Clearly, Fang Ling wanted to be the man behind female-dressed true lord Zhen Dexiu.

"So you're Physician Qing from the Sect of Commoners, huh? You collude with the Lotus Gate to overturn the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, it's... it's... it's unreasonable! Hmph, just wait for the wrath of my Blood Shadow Demon Sect!"

The expression on True Lord Dexiu's face shifted from anger to astonishment and confusion, then back to anger. However, he sheathed his giant hammer, left a harsh word, and left directly.

Yu Qingtan understood that this was because he received a transmission from Fang Ling.

Since her good brother had spoken, what else could True Lord Dexiu do? He could only withdraw in a crestfallen manner.
