Serpent Ancestor

Chapter 840: Swat flies

The Blood Refining Sect's domineering behavior was nothing new.But intercepting everyone and detaining three sects at once was unprecedented.

"Fellow cultivators, what is the meaning of this?" an elder from the Tianhen Sword Sect looked at Wang Feiyan.

"It means nothing. Everyone coming out of the Void Realm must stay, hand over your storage bags and rings for inspection before you can pass!" Wang Feiyan said sternly.

As soon as she spoke, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Some were furious, some shocked, some fearful, and some confused.

Too outrageous! Demanding to inspect everyone's storage rings—who could tolerate that?

"Fellow Daoist Wang, without any evidence, you want to detain us and inspect our rings. You must give us a reason!" Huang Shuer frowned slightly.

When Wang Feiyan heard Huang Shuer speak, her anger flared up. She stepped forward, glaring coldly, and said, "None of my Blood Refining Sect disciples came out. I suspect you all conspired to annihilate my sect! Hand over your rings for inspection to prove your innocence, or no one leaves!"

With Xiong Kang absent, she was the one in charge here. In the strength-oriented Blood Refining Sect, even the elders had to follow her orders.

With a wave of Wang Feiyan's hand, the cultivators of the Blood Refining Sect drew their magical artifacts and formation flags, surrounding the area, ready to act at her command.

How domineering!

Just because no one from the Blood Refining Sect came out, they shifted the blame onto others, demanding they hand over their rings for inspection, clearly disregarding everyone else!

Rogue cultivators might be used to it, as they had no rights, but the other three sects had considerable strength.

Fifty years ago, would they have dared to act so brazenly, offending everyone like this?

"Outrageous! The Blood Refining Sect bullies too much!"

"Handing over our rings means exposing our secrets. Who knows if they might get greedy and rob us?"

"Does the Blood Refining Sect think they can cover the sky with one hand?"

Everyone was furious, their faces turning blue.

Everyone has secrets, trump cards, things unknown to others. Handing over their rings meant exposing their secrets, touching every cultivator's bottom line!

Yet, they were helpless against this tyranny.

The Central Plains were the Blood Refining Sect's territory, and now, the sect was at its peak, both in the number and quality of Divine Transformation Stage cultivators, far surpassing the other three sects.

In fifty years, the Blood Refining Sect had reached an unprecedented peak, perhaps only rivaled by the Divine Continent Star of ancient times.

"I'll hand it over!"

Suddenly, the only rogue cultivator present stepped forward, shouting repeatedly.

This man had a stern face and hawk-like eyes, yet he wore a flattering expression, smiling as he handed his storage ring and bag to Wang Feiyan.

This pleased her greatly. "You're quite good. Surviving the Void Realm shows some talent. You can join our Blood Refining Sect's inner circle."

Wang Feiyan's tone was assertive, leaving no room for doubt, as if she were issuing an order rather than making a suggestion.

The rogue cultivator also wore a fawning smile, saying, "Thank you, Senior Sister Wang, for letting me join!"

He then looked at the others, saying, "Hurry up and hand them over, or do you want the adults to take action?"

Though just a rogue cultivator, he acted like a sycophant, relying on the powerful, making everyone furious and deeply disgusted.

A rogue cultivator surviving meant being thoroughly inspected and forcibly joining a sect. This man merely went with the flow, yet set an example.

"What, do you want me to do it myself?"

Wang Feiyan drew a blood-red scythe, resting it on her shoulder, coldly saying.

The Divine Puppet Sect's Spiritual Qi was exhausted and wouldn't last long. Once they returned from the outer battlefield, it would be the end of the Divine Puppet Sect!

If anyone dared to resist, once the Divine Puppet Sect was destroyed, they'd be the next target.

Everyone realized this, and though extremely unwilling, cursing under their breath, they obediently handed over their belongings.

The first was Huang Shuer.

Wang Feiyan took the storage ring, swept it with her Divine Sense, and immediately extracted an item—a Blood Jade Pearl.

"The Blood Jade Pearl, Xiong Kang's magical treasure, why is it with you?" Wang Feiyan said coldly.

"This..."

Huang Shuer was stunned.

The Blood Jade Pearl, which Xiong Kang intended to give her as a token of affection, was rejected by her. But what happened in the Void Realm, she couldn't remember.

"So that's it, you killed Xiong Kang and took his relic!"

Wang Feiyan knew her words were unfounded, yet she resolutely attacked, swinging her scythe at Huang Shuer.

"Clang!!"

An elder from the Yan Dao Sect took out a Bagua Fan, instantly teleporting to block the scythe like an iron wall.

"Still dare to resist!"

Wang Feiyan's body radiated a red glow, her blood energy surging, a fierce murderous aura sweeping the sky, a result of slaughtering millions, almost tangible, causing the heavens to change color and the earth to crack.

"Wait, someone else is coming!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and everyone looked again at the Void passage.

The passage, which seemed devoid of further arrivals, now had three figures approaching.

"Is it Brother Xiong and the others?"

Wang Feiyan's face lit up with joy, quickly retracting her scythe, her eyes fixed eagerly, hoping it was Xiong Kang.

However, she was disappointed.

Moments later, three unfamiliar men emerged from the rift. Once they appeared, the passage closed completely.

Among the three, one man's face seemed somewhat familiar, while the other two were completely unknown.

"Rogue cultivators?!"

Everyone was puzzled.

They remembered the appearance of every rogue cultivator who went in, but not these three.

One of the young men in white, upon appearing, ignored the crowd's scrutiny, took out a jade slip from a cauldron, placed it on his forehead, and absorbed the information recorded within, gradually recalling all his memories from the Void Realm.

"…I see."

The young man in white exhaled deeply, his eyes brightening.

"Hey!" Wang Feiyan glared, "Who are you? Where is Brother Xiong Kang?"

"Don't ask. The Void Realm erases memories. Even if they saw him, they wouldn't remember. These three are suspicious; kill them and search their bodies. There might be something to gain," another elder from the Blood Refining Sect suggested.

Wang Feiyan thought for a moment and found some logic in it.

Just as she was about to act.

With a "boom," the elder who had just spoken exploded into a bloody mist.

Xu Hei maintained his striking posture, slowly retracting his hand, shaking it off, and said, "The Xiong Kang you mentioned, I vaguely remember. He was just a buzzing fly that I swatted to death."
