Immortal of the Nine Realms

"This makes more sense. If there wasn't anyone paying attention, the Blood Spirit Sect would have openly slaughtered any form of life they liked to refine Blood Spirit Pills long ago. Why bother hiding behind the scenes?"

Looking at Immortal Void Rush, Fang Chen felt a sense of camaraderie rising within him.

From her words, it was evident that she had come to Grand Qian prepared and had secretly deployed personnel, waiting for the Blood Spirit Sect to reveal their hand.

"The Blood Spirit Sect has its people, but there are people behind Immortal Void Rush too. Kunlong Battle General is at the Nascent Soul Realm, just like Immortal Void Rush. Their strengths are evenly matched."

"Remember, you need to be prepared during this time. The Blood Spirit Sect may strike at any moment to kill you," Immortal Void Rush said again, looking at Dongfang Haojie.

"Immortal Void Rush, I have a question. Since the Blood Spirit Sect's poisoning attempt failed, wouldn't it be obvious what their intentions were? Even if no one knew that they were the ones who did it, everyone would be able to piece together that it wasn't Grand Qian who assassinated me, so the Blood Spirit Sect wouldn't be able to achieve their intended goal. Would they still try to assassinate me?" Dongfang Haojie voiced his doubts.

Immortal Void Rush sneered. "The Blood Spirit Sect is unpredictable in this regard. Do you really think that their men are only stationed in Grand Qian? The Azure Cloud Empire, Hidden Immortal Empire… All of them have cultivators of the Spirit Blood Sect. As long as there's an excuse, no matter how flimsy, they'll be used.”

Dongfang Haojie sucked in a breath of cold air.

That person had said the exact same thing as Immortal Void Rush!

Immortal Void Rush sighed lightly. "If you see that cultivator who warned you before, tell him to come see me. We are in dire need of talents like him, especially in the current situation of Azure Cloud Empire, where manpower is completely insufficient. Unfortunately, if Fang Tingyuan hadn't been deceived back then, he should have been able to replace my position in the Azure Cloud Empire."

Dongfang Haojie was slightly surprised. "Fang Tingyuan? The person from the Fang family?"

Fang Chen froze.

Immortal Void Rush nodded lightly. "Yes, Fang Tingyuan is one of us."

"You... Wait, Immortal Void Rush, when you say 'us,' do you mean…?" Dongfang Haojie cautiously asked.

Fang Chen looked at Immortal Void Rush, similarly curious about the answer.

"The Killing Spiritual Division," Immortal Void Rush said lightly. "Not many people know about the Killing Spiritual Division. It's not a sect but more like a department of authority in the court. It was established by a powerful figure in the first-tier empire with the mission of eliminating all Spirit Blood Sect cultivators. The Killing Spiritual Division is where talents and experts from various sects come together. I am one of them, and so was Fang Tingyuan in the past. Now, you are also about to become one of us."

Dongfang Haojie was dumbfounded. "Me?"

"Why else do you think I'm telling you all this? You are the descendant of the Dragon Blood Clan. You have a unique bloodline. That's an advantage. Otherwise, you wouldn't be qualified to join the Killing Spiritual Division."

"Now that you are involved with the Spirit Blood Sect, you don't have much choice," Immortal Void Rush said lightly. "Once this matter is settled, I will admit you into the Killing Spiritual Division. In the future, you will be responsible for looking after matters in Grand Wei."

Dongfang Haojie almost hesitated for a moment before nodding immediately. "I'm in, I'm in! As long as Senior Immortal Void Rush can protect the life of this junior, I'll do anything. Also, that person mentioned that there's a Nascent Soul Realm expert lurking in Grand Qian from the Blood Spirit Sect."

"A Nascent Soul Realm expert?" Immortal Void Rush's expression was slightly surprised, with a hint of seriousness in her eyes. "What is the identity of that person? You really don't know who he is?"

"I really don't know him." Dongfang Haojie smiled bitterly. "If I did, would I have been robbed of ten drops of my blood by him?"

"Could there be a friend from the Killing Spiritual Division here?" Immortal Void Rush pondered to herself, then waved her hand to signal Dongfang Haojie to leave.

"The Killing Spiritual Division... talented experts from various sects..." Fang Chen pondered.

It seemed that the power behind Immortal Void Rush was not weak, which was undoubtedly good news.

However, If Fang Tingyuan was once a member of the Killing Spiritual Division, then four hundred years ago, when he was deceived, was it someone from Fang Tingyuan's faction who acted, or was there infighting within the Killing Spiritual Division?

Originally, based on his and Xia Ji's inference, the person who acted was most likely a prominent figure from Fang Tingyuan's faction. This led to no news from Fang Tingyuan's faction after the incident, nor did they make any statements.

But now, with the involvement of the Killing Spiritual Division, there's another possibility. What if the faction behind Fang Tianyuan knew about the power of the Killing Spiritual Division, so they refrained from intervening in the matter?

"Perhaps she might know something. That female demoness from before, it couldn't be her, right?" Fang Chen looked at Master Immortal Void Rush with a pensive expression. If it were her, then Master Chanyuan would surely have some peculiar reaction upon seeing Master Immortal Void Rush.

Should he personally meet with Master Immortal Void Rush?

Forget it, let's see how things unfold.

Suppressing his thoughts, Fang Chen withdrew his consciousness and then swiftly employed the Shadow Buddha Technique to head toward the Imperial Palace. Walking within the shadows, he effortlessly entered the palace, faintly sensing the restrained yet formidable aura of the several Nascent Soul Realm experts.

"Young Master, why don't we return to Grand Wei first? We might fall victim to schemers again if we stay any longer," Nie Tianyuan whispered.

Several Golden Core Realm cultivators from Grand Wei also joined in persuading Dongfang Haojie. Among them was Immortal Tianwu.

"No, we're not leaving. The trade conference hasn't started yet, and I haven't acquainted myself with Fairy Tianyin. Leaving now would be pointless, wouldn't it? You don't need to worry; it must be some petty individuals trying to sow discord between Grand Qian and Grand Wei, hence the poisoning. Now that I'm staying by Master Immortal Void Rush's side, those petty individuals wouldn't dare to act recklessly," Dongfang Haojie firmly refused.

Nie Tianyuan wanted to persuade him further, but Dongfang Haojie said he was tired and dismissed them all.

Dongfang Haojie then suddenly erected a spiritual barrier and whispered, "Hey, since you're so concerned about the Spirit Blood Sect, you must know about me getting poisoned, right? You were one of the people present in the hall today, weren't you?

"If you're here, then come out and talk to me. Master Immortal Void Rush wants to see you. Don't worry, she has absolutely no connection with the Blood Spirit Sect. On the contrary, her background might surprise you!"

Dongfang Haojie waited for a while, and when he saw that there wasn't any response, he muttered, "It seems like you're not here…."

He was about to remove the spiritual barrier when he suddenly heard a whisper in his ear.

"I won’t meet Immortal Void Rush for now, but I want to tell you that Tong Hu and his son from the Jade River Pavilion are from the Spirit Blood Sect. Jue Wudi is also one of them. Fang Shang from the second branch of the Fang Family is too.

"And the ancestor of the Southern Heavenly Sect from the Flame Empire also comes from the Spirit Blood Sect. He's currently in the Imperial Capital of Grand Qian. The Nascent Soul Realm expert lurking in Grand Qian is the Kunlun Battle General."
