Under the night sky, the Elder Pavilion’s mountain was dotted with light. The closer to the peak, the denser and brighter the lights.

Elder Yuan Gui sat in a purple pavilion in the bamboo forest. With his hands behind his back, he listened to a black-clothed cultivator’s report. His ancient face grew more and more menacing.

In two short days, more than 20 Half-Saint Vampires were killed. How could Elder Yuan Gui not be furious?

“Who is it? How can he see through the disguise? Is it Gu Linfeng?”

Icy Qi flooded out of Elder Gui Yuan, crackling in the night. White frost covered the bamboo leaves nearby.

Not long ago, Gu Linfeng had seen through Saint Hongyuan’s disguise. He clearly had some special secret spell. This was why Elder Gui Yuan thought of him first.

The black-clothed cultivator’s voice was raspy. “According to Elder Yuan Zhou’s information, Gu Linfeng’s injuries will take at least one or two months to heal. I believe that the recent chain of events must be Discipline King Haiming’s revenge.”

To them, even if Gu Linfeng knew how to see through the disguise, as his master, Discipline King Haiming should be more advanced. More importantly, Gu Linfeng had only gone through the first Pre-Saint Trial. Deep down, they looked down on him, not thinking he was a true enemy.

“Discipline King Haiming?” Elder Yuan Gui grew thoughtful. “If he already knows that there is a large group of Vampires in the sect, why does he work alone instead of exposing them?”

“He is determined to become the next Hierarch,” the black-clothed man said. “Perhaps this is related.”

“I think I understand! Discipline King Haiming wants to hide in the shadows and clear out all the Vampires. When the time is right, he will publicize it. This way, his respect in the sect would be at the peak. He would be the only candidate for the Hierarch.”

Elder Yuan Gui’s eyes darkened.

What kind of accomplishment was clearing out the Immortal Vampires? If Discipline King Haiming could really do it, all the disciples would see him as their savior. Pushing him into the Hierarch position would be natural.

Elder Yuan Gui’s fingers turned into sharp claws. “Discipline King Haiming wants to kill all Immortal Vampires. I want to rip him into pieces as well. I will create a trap right now and lure him in.”

In the Hidden Dragon Palace, Zhang Ruochen was also planning.

“We killed 20 to 30 Vampire Half-Saints in a row,” he said. “This must have shocked some of the higher-up figures. Next, they will definitely start suspecting Discipline King Haiming and try to lure him out to kill him. Of course, this is also a chance for us.”

Elder Yuan Zhou was getting impatient. “Come with me to the Elder Pavilion and kill Discipline King Diyuan. Why must we go through all this trouble?”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “One of the higher-up Vampires must be part of the Elder Pavilion. It’s possible that it’s a Saint Elder. If we don’t find him, we won’t be able to kill Discipline King Diyuan.”

One of the Saint Elders was an infiltrator?

Elder Yuan Zhou grew thoughtful. He had some guesses, but he couldn’t confirm them. In the end, he asked, “How do we lure him out?”

“Didn’t I say it earlier?” Zhang Ruochen said, chuckling. “They want to kill Discipline King Haiming. It’s a chance for us.”

“What do you mean?”

Zhang Ruochen continued, “We can create a Discipline King Haiming and lure that Immortal Vampire from the Elder Pavilion. This way, we’ll have a chance to kill Discipline King Diyuan.”

Shangguan Xianyan grew interested. With questions in her eyes, she asked, “Create a Discipline King Haiming?”

Zhang Ruochen gazed at Elder Yuan Zhou. “Isn’t Elder Yuan Zhou the best choice? He can disguise himself as Discipline King Haiming and lure the snake out.”

Elder Yuan Zhou chuckled. “It’s not that I underestimate you, but with your cultivation, even if Discipline King Diyuan is restrained, you still can’t kill him. Only I can kill him. How about you disguise yourself as Discipline King Haiming?”

“Don’t you want to know who the infiltrator in the Elder Pavilion is?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Hearing this, Elder Yuan Zhou was moved. He grew thoughtful. The six Saint Elders of the Blood God Sect had known each other for centuries. Elder Yuan Zhou actually didn’t believe that one of the other five could be a spy.

However, this was the truth. He couldn’t not believe it.

Half a moment later, he said seriously, “Okay, I will pretend to be Discipline King Haiming. I’d like to see just who that person is. However, with your abilities, you can’t kill Discipline King Haiming. Did Taishang Elder give you some powerful weapon?”

“He indeed gave me something powerful,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Alright! If you really can kill Discipline King Diyuan, it’ll be a big blow to the Immortal Vampires. With this achievement, your reputation may surpass the nine Heirs too. You’ll become one of the young leaders of this century.”

Elder Yuan Zhou had heavy thoughts. He put down an Elder badge and walked out of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion.

“You must be careful,” Zhang Ruochen reminded. “The Immortal Vampires will definitely set up a murderous plan.”

Elder Yuan Zhou had already left the palace. Only a cold voice traveled back. “I’ve experienced countless storms in my life. I don’t need your reminder.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled. Using a beam of Holy Qi, he curled up the badge. Holding it in his hand, his smile gradually disappeared. He grew more and more serious.

Killing Discipline King Diyuan wasn’t an easy task. No matter if he succeeded or not, the entire Blood God Sect would be shaken. If he succeeded, the entire central region would be shaken.

Of course, Discipline King Diyuan was very advanced. Even if he asked Ghost King Bloodmoon for help, he still wasn’t completely confident he would succeed.

It would be the same if Elder Yuan Zhou did it.

In the Elder Pavilion, a black-clothed cultivator stood before Elder Yuan Gui. He wore a monstrous golden mask. “News just came that Saint Lingku discovered marks left by Discipline King Haiming near our setup.”

“It seems that he already took the bait. This time, I will come out personally. I will not allow him to escape again.”

Elder Yuan Gui hated Discipline King Haiming. He wanted desperately to kill the man. Before leaving, he ordered, “Stay in the Elder Pavilion. If anything happens, tell me immediately.”

“Yes.”

The cultivator with the golden mask of an evil ghost disappeared into the darkness.

Zhang Ruochen stood in the bamboo forest at the foot of the Elder Pavilion’s mountain. He looked at the starry sky through the bamboo leaves. “I felt a powerful aura rush out of the Elder Pavilion. It’s hurrying away. The snake hidden in the Elder Pavilion has come out already.”

Qing Mo stood behind him and cocked her head. “Really? How come I didn’t feel anything?”

“Because your Spiritual Power still isn’t strong enough,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Qing Mo pouted and huffed. She clearly didn’t think so. “There are two Saint Elders in the pavilion. Even if you lure one away, there’s still one guarding. You can’t kill Discipline King Diyuan.”

“The most dangerous one has left. The other one isn’t dangerous and is easier to deal with.” Zhang Ruochen gazed at Qing Mo’s delicate features and smiled. “To avoid unnecessary troubles, I think you should lead him away.”

Qing Mo was frightened. “Are you crazy? You want me to lead away a Saint Elder? I…I’m not that strong yet. What if I get killed?”

She was pale from shock and kept retreating.

“I already said that the dangerous Elder has left,” Zhang Ruochen said. “The other one isn’t dangerous at all.”

“No! How can he not be dangerous? What if he gets his eyes on me…no… No, I mean, what if he sees through my disguise? He might capture me and use me to produce a divine pill. My thousands of years of cultivation will be reduced to nothing.”

Qing Mo was almost crying from fear.

Zhang Ruochen took out Elder Yuan Zhou’s badge and stuffed it into her hands. “If you’re really captured, take this out and tell that Saint Elder that you are a saintly medicine from Elder Yuan Zhou’s garden. This will save you.”

Qing Mo took the badge, but her legs still felt weak. She couldn’t walk. She kept asking Zhang Ruochen if she had to go. Finally, Zhang Ruochen had to mention Huang Yanchen to force her to move.

When Qing Mo was miles away from the Elder Pavilion, she took out a beam of Holy Qi. The other Saint Elder in the pavilion sensed the Holy Qi, as expected, and flew out to where Qing Mo was.

“Now.”

Zhang Ruochen used a physical technique and rushed toward the mountain where the Elder Pavilion was.

Even without Elder Yuan Zhou’s badge, his Spiritual Power was strong enough to avoid the perceptions of the strong figures in the pavilion. It was like entering a no-man’s realm.

Discipline King Diyuan is imprisoned in the Son King Palace, restrained by the Nine Dragon Lock Heaven Formation. I must attack without him noticing. Even if I can’t kill him, I must injure him heavily first.

Ghost King Bloodmoon’s aura was too strong, so she couldn’t kill Discipline King Diyuan. If he was alerted beforehand, it would be a bad thing.

Zhang Ruochen covered himself with Spiritual Power and put away his aura. He rushed into Son King Palace like a ghost.
