Chapter 670: Chapter 670: The Blood Shura

Puzzled, Zhong Shan extended his divine sense. Sure enough, the space no longer obstructed him, as if the mere illusion of the Tian Token allowed him to move freely within the Jingbo Pool. Zhong Shan raised an eyebrow. There was indeed a great secret within the Tian Token, and the strange patterns on it must have significant meaning.

"Tian Chenzi, greeting the bearer of the Yang Realm family head\'s token," the leading elder said calmly.

"Tian Chenzi? You are the family head from the Yin Realm two generations ago?" Zhong Shan asked in surprise.

According to legend, Tian Chenzi, the family head from two generations ago, had left the Small Thousand World. Why was he here?

"Indeed. May I ask your name?" The elder nodded.

Zhong Shan felt a tightness in his chest. From the elder\'s demeanor, it was clear he had respect for the Tian Token, but no fear.

"Zhong Shan," Zhong Shan replied in a deep voice.

"Does the Tian family still exist in the Yang Realm?" Tian Chenzi\'s gaze seemed to pierce into Zhong Shan\'s soul.

"What do you think?" Zhong Shan smiled.

He felt slightly nervous, unsure of Tian Chenzi\'s attitude. However, he maintained a facade of calm confidence.

"Where is the real Tian Token?" Tian Chenzi frowned.

"It\'s naturally with the family head," Zhong Shan responded with a faint smile.

"Do you know where this place is?" Tian Chenzi asked sternly.

"Am I not allowed here with the illusion of the Tian Token?" Zhong Shan countered with a smile.

"The Tian Token is known only to the elders of the Tian family. Seeing its image is as if the family head is present, and the Jingbo Pool responds to its presence. This is indeed the Tian Token. However, the Tian family of the Yin and Yang Realms have long been divided. We no longer need to abide by the Tian Token\'s rules," Tian Chenzi said indifferently.

The others frowned but remained silent since Tian Chenzi had spoken.

The Tian family of the Yin and Yang Realms had long been divided? Zhong Shan detected a critical point in Tian Chenzi\'s words. The Tian family was once united, and the family head\'s token was the Tian Token. Zhong Shan smirked inwardly.

"Whether or not you abide by it is up to you. I don\'t intend to demand anything. I only want what belongs to me," Zhong Shan said solemnly.

Tian Chenzi\'s pupils contracted upon hearing this, and the others also became tense, their eyes flashing with anger.

Huh? Zhong Shan was slightly taken aback by their reaction. What did he say to provoke such a response?

"What belongs to you? What do you mean?" Tian Chenzi\'s voice was cold.

"Two ghosts from the Yang Realm, imprisoned here by you," Zhong Shan stated firmly.

The others were clearly surprised, exchanging puzzled glances. The initial anger in their eyes dissipated, replaced by a strange expression. Ghosts?

"Just ghosts?" one of them couldn\'t help but ask.

"Indeed," Zhong Shan nodded.

From the man\'s words, Zhong Shan detected a hint of something unusual, as if there was something significant from the Yang Realm Tian family hidden here.

Everyone shared strange glances before all eyes turned to Tian Chenzi.

"Is there any difficulty?" Zhong Shan asked solemnly.

Tian Chenzi closed his eyes, seemingly deep in thought. After a moment, he opened them and said, "Very well, since you are a guest from the Yang Realm Tian family, how could we not show you respect?"

"Thank you!" Zhong Shan smiled, silently sighing in relief. He had managed to bluff his way through.

Just then, a figure burst in from outside. His clothes were torn, his hair slightly disheveled, and he looked extremely agitated. It was Tian Ji!

Upon entering the Jingbo Pool, Tian Ji immediately spotted Zhong Shan.

"It\'s you? You wretch—!"

As soon as Tian Ji entered, he angrily roared at Zhong Shan and charged at him with his sword.

"Stop—!" Tian Chenzi\'s furious shout halted Tian Ji in his tracks. He turned to look at Tian Chenzi.

"Great Elder, it\'s him! He\'s the one who caused chaos in the Tian family. Three of the Five Peaks—Feng Shui Peak, Luck Peak, and Accumulating Yin Virtue Peak—have collapsed. Countless ghosts have invaded the Tian family, and many of our disciples are injured. The mighty Tian family has been reduced to ruins. He colluded with people from the Great Thousand World. If he doesn\'t die, I cannot rest easy. If he doesn\'t die, it would be a disgrace to the ancestral teachings of the Tian family!" Tian Ji shouted.

"In the Jingbo Pool, you have no right to act so recklessly!" Tian Chenzi rebuked sternly.

Everyone else, adhering to Tian Chenzi\'s authority, looked at Tian Ji with dissatisfaction.

"The disaster in the Tian family happened because you failed to protect it!" Tian Chenzi scolded.

Tian Chenzi\'s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Tian Ji, instantly calming him down.

"Tian Ji, don\'t slander me. The catastrophe in the Tian family, wasn\'t it because of what you desired?" Zhong Shan sneered.

"Nonsense! What did I desire? When did I desire anything?" Tian Ji roared in anger.

"I knew you wouldn\'t admit it, so I recorded it," Zhong Shan said, suddenly smiling.

"Huh?"

Everyone looked puzzled. Tian Ji glared at Zhong Shan, who then took out a memory crystal.

With a surge of his power, Zhong Shan activated the crystal, projecting the scene of their first encounter—

"Tian family head, I will prove my words. In a few days, I, Zhong Shan, will return to the Tian family. I will show you what it means to regret, what it means to turn the world upside down!"

"You want to turn my Tian family upside down? Fine, let\'s see if you have that ability!" Tian Ji\'s disdainful smile was clearly shown in the scene.

"I will. I, Zhong Shan, will return soon. I won\'t need the family head\'s order. I will enter the Jingbo Pool myself!" Zhong Shan\'s cold snort echoed.

The scene vividly displayed Tian Ji\'s disdain and Zhong Shan\'s words, with Tian Ji\'s \'Fine\' ringing loudly.

Tian Ji\'s face turned beet red.

"How about it, Tian Ji? Have I wronged you?" Zhong Shan smiled.

"You scoundrel... You dared to trap me?" Tian Ji\'s eyes burned with fury.

"This is the Yin Realm Tian family. How could I trap you? Tian Ji, please conduct yourself with dignity," Zhong Shan said, his expression serious.

"You...!" Tian Ji was on the verge of losing control.

"Enough!" Tian Chenzi\'s cold shout silenced everyone.

Tian Ji\'s expression tightened, as if he had more to say.

"Still not satisfied with your disgrace? Stand aside!" Tian Chenzi scolded.

Tian Ji looked around and saw the disapproving faces of the elders. Realizing the severity of the situation, he grudgingly stepped aside with a resentful look.

"These are the two ghosts," Zhong Shan said, using his magic to project the images of Wei Yinglan and Xuan Yuan\'s wife.

"Wei Yinglan!" one of the Tian family elders suddenly shouted in anger.

Several others also glared at the projection of Wei Yinglan with fury. Seeing their reactions and remembering Tian Ji\'s initial attitude, Zhong Shan\'s heart, which had just started to calm, began to race again.

"What\'s the matter?" Zhong Shan asked immediately.

The previously calm elders suddenly looked fierce, except for Tian Chenzi, who remained serene.

"You\'re too late," Tian Chenzi said.

A sense of foreboding washed over Zhong Shan, and his demeanor turned sharply intense. "What do you mean?" he asked in a deep voice.

"She was sent to the Jingbo Pool some time ago. Her talent was extraordinary, and we intended to nurture her. However, her talent was too overwhelming," Tian Chenzi sighed.

"What do you mean?"

"She had a unique attribute that was enhanced during her journey through the Yellow Springs. On the day she entered the Jingbo Pool, it seemed to trigger this attribute. That day, her body emitted an immense and terrifying blood fiend energy, far beyond our control. It pierced the skies and even reached through the Small Thousand World, attracting the attention of a powerful being from the Great Thousand World, who forcefully took Yinglan. Our second, seventh, and ninth elders died at the hands of this supreme being," Tian Chenzi explained.

"What did you say?" Zhong Shan asked in disbelief, taking a deep breath.

One of the elders then produced a memory crystal, which contained some blurry images.

In the projection, a giant figure with a pair of enormous blood-colored bone horns on its head, blood-red eyes, and skin seemingly soaked in blood, wielded a massive Fang Tian Halberd in one hand and a small bottle in the other. The bottle sucked in a ghost—it was Wei Yinglan. In an instant, the giant captured Yinglan, roared triumphantly, and appeared elated.

"Blood Fiend Divine Soul? I finally have a disciple! Hahaha!"

The image abruptly ended.

"Is he strong?" Zhong Shan asked gravely.

"Peak Tianxian level. Three of our elders perished at his hands. What do you think?" Tian Chenzi replied with a frown.

"What is he?" Zhong Shan asked, furrowing his brows.

"A member of a race from the Great Thousand World, known as the Blood Shura," Tian Chenzi replied, taking a deep breath.

Yinglan was taken to the Great Thousand World? Zhong Shan suddenly felt a hollow emptiness inside him and furrowed his brows tightly.

"Take this memory crystal," the elder who had produced it said, tossing it to Zhong Shan.

"Thank you," Zhong Shan said, carefully putting it away.

"Tian Token?" Tian Ji suddenly exclaimed, staring at the magical token before Zhong Shan.

Only then did Tian Ji notice the token conjured by Zhong Shan\'s magic. Though he didn\'t recognize it, he inferred its significance from the elders\' reactions.

Ignoring Tian Ji, Zhong Shan pointed to the other woman and said, "This woman is the wife of a friend of mine."
