Is that the voice of the Qianhai True Monarch?
Zhang Jian’s mouth twitched slightly.
He didn’t think the Primordial Spirit Master of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect was a "Little Demon" at all!
Zhang Jian was inclined to continue watching, but observing the direction the bloody light was heading, he decided to act.
The direction of the bloody light was quite coincidental—it was heading towards Zhijie Palace.
Zhijie Palace is the Empress’s bedchamber.
With a slight sigh, he vanished from his spot in an instant.
Inside Zhijie Palace, the lights were bright and resplendent.
Compared to the other dark palaces, it was not only magnificent and lofty but also had a Dragon Qi that was significantly thicker than the other palaces.
In an instant, it attracted the attention of the Blood Demon Ancestor.
Inside Zhijie Palace,
Empress Qi was chatting leisurely with the others, also waiting for news from Dongling Square.
As Emperor Jingwu participated in such a dangerous ritual, it inevitably caused worry among the many concubines in the Imperial Harem.
Beside Empress Qi were the Four Concubines: Consort Chen, Consort Lande, Consort Liu, and Princess Consort Wang, all with equally heavy expressions.
"Empress, in your opinion, is there danger for His Majesty?"
At this time, a delicate-looking concubine couldn’t help but ask.
Seated directly below Empress Qi was Consort Chen, and among the Four Concubines, she held the highest position, comparable to that of a Vice Empress. Before Empress Qi entered the palace, she managed the affairs of the Six Palaces.
However, ever since Empress Qi entered the palace, she favored the Six Palaces and reclaimed the position of Empress. Many secrets were only shared with Empress Qi by the Emperor.
Upon hearing this, Qi’s phoenix eyes swept over the other concubines, and she said with a smile, "His Majesty is a Heavenly Emperor descended to earth, blessed with great fortune. Moreover, with the planning of many Daqian National Guardian Masters, nothing will happen!"
Upon hearing this, the concubines felt slightly reassured.
But just then, a roaring sound suddenly came from outside Zhijie Palace.
Whoosh!!
The monstrous wind blew outside the palace, faintly accompanied by a grand, subtle Dragon’s Roar.
The entire Zhijie Palace trembled instantly, as if some terrifying existence was about to forcefully break into the palace gates.
This change caused the faces of the concubines present to lose their color.
Empress Qi’s jade-like face also showed slight change, and she promptly turned her gaze to the two female officials skilled in cultivation beside her. At this moment, the two female officials were also pale-faced and somewhat at a loss. They could vaguely sense an immensely powerful demonic presence outside the palace, seemingly shaking some of the Dragon Qi Prohibitions outside Zhijie Palace, intending to swallow the entire palace.
Just as abruptly, the monstrous wind outside Zhijie Palace subsided into silence.
The massive roaring sound suddenly ceased.
"Is it over?"
Consort Lande, in luxurious attire, looked around with her beautiful eyes. She wore an elaborate dark red palace dress, her figure tall and alluring, her beautiful face as stunning as a blooming peony.
Empress Qi glanced at Consort Lande with some disdain but swept her gaze over the concubines to reassure them.
"I suppose it was a high-ranking expert in the palace who drove off the external enemy!"
...
Outside Zhijie Palace, the Blood Demon Ancestor’s face was somber, his expression exceedingly grave.
Just as he was preparing to break through the Dragon Qi Prohibitions on Zhijie Palace, a sense of unprecedented crisis arose in him, causing him to voluntarily halt the assault on the palace gates.
His eyes cautiously scanned the area around the palace gates, his vast Primordial Spirit Divine Sense shamelessly spreading out, yet to his shock, he couldn’t locate the enemy’s position.
However, the subtle, elusive sense of being watched made his back feel prickly.
Moreover, there was a feeling of being pressured.
Invisibly, a cyan light suddenly appeared in the void—a cyan lotus flower.
It manifested in the air of its own accord, and a figure shrouded in a cyan robe appeared out of thin air. It was shrouded, and with just one gaze, the Blood Demon Ancestor felt his Primordial Spirit Divine Sense suddenly plunged into a grand and blissful Dao charm of neither life nor death, pure and serene.
In the depths of his Primordial Spirit, pure and clear cyan lotuses began to bloom.
The blooming of the cyan lotus suppressed the vast surges of evil thoughts within him, transforming them into tranquility, leaving him momentarily devoid of any feelings of resistance.
This isn’t right!
The Blood Demon Ancestor’s Dao Heart fluctuated violently, but in an instant, a dense bloody aura appeared around him.
Deep within his Primordial Spirit, a long banner automatically emerged. Within it, a blood river seemed to surge, countless blood-colored waves within it cried out the souls of myriad beings.
The light from his Primordial Spirit Treasure flowed, yet the overwhelming evil still could not shake off the suppression of the Dao Heart Cyan Lotus.
In shock, a blazing blood light appeared deep within the Blood Demon Ancestor’s brow, an anticipated second Primordial Spirit Immortal Technique.
This spell was meant for preserving life.
Whenever his Primordial Spirit was sluggish or unable to be activated, it would trigger naturally, significantly enhancing his Primordial Spirit’s strength in a short period, counteracting such a Dao Heart and Primordial Spirit type Immortal Technique.
This Primordial Spirit Immortal Technique is called the "Nine Nether Blood Refining Technique," and it burns a portion of his Blood River Essence Qi in a short time, converting it into a Blood Lotus Curse. It forces its way into the Primordial Spirit, thus breaking the shackles of the Dao Heart type Immortal Technique, gaining a sliver of vitality for himself.
One could see a roaring sound above his head, as if a terrifying beam of blood shot out, blood surrounding him, merging deep into his Primordial Spirit, causing a blood-colored lotus flower to appear around the Blood Demon Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit. The faint red light blossomed, allowing the Blood Demon Ancestor to break free from the suppression of the Dao Heart Cyan Lotus.
Almost simultaneously, Zhang Jian raised a palm, and deep within it, the East Emperor’s Treasure Mirror appeared, and a vast golden light gushed out in an instant.
This was the unknown Immortal Technique within the East Emperor’s Treasure Mirror at the Creation Level.
