At this moment, the disciple who came to report said, “Senior Brother, Zhang Chen did not take the Array Disk with him when he left.”
“He didn’t take the Array Disk?” Wei Qi was even more surprised.
In his opinion, although Zhang Chen’s strength was good, there was still a big gap between him and the disciples who had reached the perfect ninth level of Foundation Building. Only with the Array Disk in hand could he resist for a short time.
Wei Qi could not understand why Zhang Chen suddenly left the sect.
Could it be arrogance and inability to see the situation clearly?
Wei Qi suddenly smiled confidently. “Why bother thinking so much? I am the first in the Demon Path Grand Competition, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I am the number one below the Golden Core level. What is there to fear?
“In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracies and tricks are just a joke.
“By then, I should encounter other junior brothers, and it will be a perfect opportunity to become my nourishment.
As Wei Qi spoke, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he walked out confidently.
At the same time, other disciples from Blood God Sect at the perfect ninth level of Foundation Building also received the news of Zhang Chen leaving the sect.
Although they were also puzzled why Zhang Chen would leave the sect at this time, most of them didn’t want to give up this opportunity.
They would observe first, decide based on the situation, and then determine whether to take action.
Moreover, there would definitely be many people secretly going there this time. Even if they themselves didn’t obtain the secret technique, they could find out who did and then plan to obtain it later.
Some people also thought that Zhang Chen was just playing mind games, trying to scare them and make them suspicious, so they wouldn’t dare to attack him.
There were also some disciples at the later stage of Foundation Building, who had not reached perfection, quietly leaving the sect, hoping to seize any opportunities that may arise.
“Swoosh-
As soon as Zhang Chen left the sect, he immediately turned into a blood light and flew away.
Shortly after his departure, Wei Qi appeared.
After scanning around and not finding Zhang Chen, Wei Qi dispersed his divine sense to investigate.
“You think you can run away? You’re too naive.”
“Do you think you can escape? How naive.” Wei Qi grinned ferociously and transformed into a streak of blood light as well.
Subsequently, one after another, figures continuously emerged from within the Blood God Sect and flew towards the direction Zhang Chen had left, resembling shooting stars.
Although Zhang Chen was only at the fourth level of Foundation
Establishment, thanks to the effect of the Divine Forging Technique and the Soul Devouring Technique, his divine sense was comparable to that of an early-stage Golden Core cultivator. Therefore, he could sense the few individuals following him from behind without being detected.
Although he had deliberately lured these people here, he did not know how many would actually follow.
Through his divine sense perception, he discovered that there were seven cultivators at the later stage of Foundation Establishment behind him.
Among them, four were at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, two were at the eighth level, and one was at the seventh level.
“There are quite a few people following.”
Zhang Chen’s gaze turned icy, showing no intention of stopping as he continued flying forward.
However, he did not use the Blood Light Escape. Instead, he used the ordinary Blood Escape to maintain the normal speed of the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.
Two hours later, Zhang Chen had already flown several hundred miles, and some disciples from Blood God Sect began to grow restless.
After flying another hundred miles, someone finally couldn’t hold back.
A blood light suddenly accelerated and blocked in front of Zhang Chen.
“Who goes there!” Zhang Chen feigned a look of panic and vigilance.
The man opposite him was middle-aged, with skin like old bark and a mix of black and white hair, indicating the use of a secret technique that consumed lifespan.
Zhang Chen had some impression of this person. He had previously appeared on the stage during the selection for the Demon Path Grand Competition. His name was Ma Yang, a disciple of Elder Black Blood, who broke through to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment just a few years ago and practiced the ‘Blood Stiffening Technique’.
“If you can’t grasp the secret technique that can help the Blood God Son break through to Foundation Establishment, then obediently hand over the secret technique to me, and I will let you go,” Ma Yang said.
Ma Yang hadn’t taken action because he knew there were others following behind, and Zhang Chen’s strength was not weak. He couldn’t take him down in a short period of time, and it could lead to a multi-party melee later.
If he could obtain the secret technique through verbal intimidation, he would immediately leave with the secret technique, leaving Zhang Chen to be fought over by others, while he stayed out of the matter.
“I dare to leave the sect. How could I not have something to rely on?”
As soon as Zhang Chen finished speaking, a dazzling and brilliant streak of bloodlight erupted from his body.
It was none other than the Blood Light Escape, comparable to the speed of Golden Core cultivators!
By the time Ma Yang reacted, Zhang Chen’s figure had already disappeared before him.
“No wonder he dared to leave the sect. So he has this escape technique.” Ma Yang’s face turned gloomy as he watched the opportunity slip away.
The others following behind also realized what had happened.
Just when they thought they would return empty-handed, their divine senses detected Zhang Chen stopping again, appearing exhausted and unable to continue.
“It seems that this escape technique cannot be used for a long time, and even if it can, it won’t be more than a few times.
Ma Yang’s face showed a pleased expression as he transformed into a streak of bloodlight to continue the pursuit.
He intentionally stopped at a distance where his ninth-level Foundation Establishment divine sense could still sense them and appeared to be greatly exhausted. This would entice these people to continue pursuing him.
The reason for doing this was to lure these people to the mountain range where he kept his captive demon beasts.
With the number of Blood God Sons he had, combined with Blood Sacrifice Technique, even cultivators in the early stage of Golden Core could be countered.
However, he wasn’t confident in completely killing all these people. Once someone managed to escape, his strength and secrets would be exposed.
To avoid arousing suspicion, he staged this act.
After 15 minutes, Ma Yang caught up again.
Since he had already revealed himself earlier, there was no need to hide anymore. He directly stopped Zhang Chen.
“Junior Brother Zhang, you can’t escape. As I said before, hand over the secret technique, and I will let you go.”
“Don’t even think about it!” Zhang Chen’s face turned grim as he employed the same technique, and a brilliant streak of bloodlight enveloped him.
He flew a distance again and stopped at a place where his ninth-level Foundation Establishment divine sense could still sense them.
Simultaneously, he displayed an even more weakened state, giving the people behind him hope.
The group chased once again.
After several instances, Zhang Chen’s cultivation level dropped to the third level of Foundation Establishment, appearing utterly depleted.
The group sensed this through their divine senses and couldn’t help but wonder.
If they continued chasing like this, would Zhang Chen’s cultivation level fall to the Qi Refinement stage?
In their eyes, Zhang Chen’s strength was considerable, comparable to the seventh or eighth level of Foundation Establishment. It wasn’t easy to defeat him in a short period.
Especially with other fellow disciples secretly observing, engaging in a conflict might lead to an opportunist gaining the advantage. Therefore, they had yet to make a move.
However, if Zhang Chen’s strength dropped to the Qi Refinement stage, they would have the confidence to instantly suppress him.
With this thought in mind, the group refrained from rushing to take action and continued to follow from behind.
Two hours later, Zhang Chen’s cultivation level dropped to the second level of Foundation Establishment.
Four hours later, it dropped to the first level of Foundation Establishment.
It was at this moment that Zhang Chen stopped in the sky above a mountain range enveloped in clouds and mist.
Seemingly aware that escape was futile, he prepared to make a desperate move.
“Why did Junior Brother Zhang stop running? Isn’t he going to continue?” Ma Yang sneered as he appeared in front of Zhang Chen. “What I said earlier still stands. As long as you hand over the secret technique,
Zhang Chen remained silent and did not answer, as if he was conflicted about whether to agree or not.
In fact, he was waiting for the other six to approach.
The mountain range below was where he reared hundreds of demon beasts!
With the array enveloping them, those below the Golden Core realm could not sense it at all. There were more than a hundred demon beasts eyeing them covetously in the mountain range, drooling with a stench..
