Chapter 290: Chapter 226 Is This Your Father?

Within the bounds of a county town, blood clouds covered the heavens and earth, leaving many cultivators and common folk alike with expressions of utter panic on their faces.

“Who dares cause trouble here? Do you not fear the court’s punishment?!”

Su Guangdao bellowed angrily.

He was the official in charge of managing the city, and upon seeing the appearance of the blood clouds, his heart instinctively filled with unease.

However.

Despite the unease in his heart,

Su Guangdao did not show fear.

As his voice fell, in the void above, a figure clad in blood-red suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The figure had the face of a middle-aged man, but with a sinister smile.

“Hehehe, you should all consider it the honor of a lifetime to serve as nourishment for my Blood Banner. A mere regional dynasty dares to threaten me? I suspect none of you have even heard the name of the Blood Cloud Ancestor!”

The Blood Cloud Ancestor said with disdain, looking at Su Guangdao with a contemptuous gaze.

A cultivator in the Fifth Realm of Refining Organ, in his eyes, was no different from an ant.

Using his Divine Thought to sense his surroundings, he found that there were quite a few cultivators in the county, but the highest cultivation among them was merely at the Refining Organ Realm, making them no different than ants to the Blood Cloud Ancestor.

At this moment.

Some of the cultivators from outside Xing’an County changed their expressions slightly upon hearing his words and seeing the blood clouds in the void.

“The Blood Cloud Ancestor!”

“He’s actually come here!”

“Hiss, we never anticipated that such a celestial phenomenon would attract him here; it looks like a lot of people are going to die—”

Many cultivators spoke of the Blood Cloud Ancestor with expressions filled with dread, as if he was some fearsome being.

Elsewhere,

Fu He and Gu Xuan arrived on the scene as well.

When Gu Xuan heard what the Blood Cloud Ancestor and the other cultivators were discussing, he couldn’t help but turn to ask his mentor,

“May I ask Master, who is this Blood Cloud Ancestor?”

“The Blood Cloud Ancestor is a Loose Cultivator from the Eastern Domain. His notoriety is notorious, and it is rumored that he has already stepped into the Third Level of Taoist Palace Realm. His cultivation is formidable,

Moreover, this man is known for being brutal in his actions, cultivating a technique known as the Blood Cloud Demon Skill, which often involves the massacre of ordinary cultivators, thus incurring the wrath of both heaven and people.

There was an occasion when a Holy Land mobilized several strong cultivators from the Taoist Palace Realm to surround and kill the Blood Cloud Ancestor, but they all failed to capture him.

His appearance here likely spells doom for the citizens of this city!”

Fu He gazed at the now blood-cloud-covered Xing’an County, shaking his head slightly as if he had already foreseen the fate of these commoners.

It’s no surprise Fu He thought this way.

After all, any cultivator at the level of the Taoist Palace Realm is an extremely fearsome being, let alone the Blood Cloud Ancestor who is at the Third Level, much stronger than the average Dao Palace Realm cultivator.

Upon hearing this,

Gu Xuan’s face turned rather ugly.

The world today belonged to the Gu Family, and now the Blood Cloud Ancestor’s intention to slaughter the court’s populace was a direct affront to the Gu Family’s dignity.

For a moment.

Gu Xuan wanted to take forceful action.

However,

Fu He saw his disciple’s intentions and stepped forward to stop him,

“The strength of the Blood Cloud Ancestor is not simple, and he acts without restraint. If you do not act, relying on the status of a disciple from the Taixu Sacred Land, he will still have some reservations.

But if you truly enrage him, then even the Taixu Sacred Land will not be able to protect you!”

Fu He said gravely.

“You must understand that once dead, you are dead. Even if the Taixu Sacred Land avenges you afterward and slays the Blood Cloud Ancestor, you will not come back to life.

‘It’s better to keep a low profile to survive and fight another day,’ this is another lesson I have taught you!”

Every prodigy is proud at heart.

This point,

Fu He certainly understood.

But in Fu He’s view, when it’s time to endure, one must endure. History has shown that many powerful beings have gradually reached the pinnacle in exactly this way.

Hearing this,

Gu Xuan clenched his fists in silence, his eyes filled with a murderous intent towards the Blood Cloud Ancestor, yet he felt powerless.

Just as Fu He said, with his current strength, challenging the Blood Cloud Ancestor was like throwing an egg against a rock, utterly futile.

At that moment,

The Blood Cloud Ancestor seemed to sense something and his cold gaze fell on Gu Xuan, his expression slightly ferocious.

“Young one, do you have some grievances with me?” he said.

As his words fell,

a terrifying aura crushed down towards Gu Xuan. Fu He stepped forward, blocking Gu Xuan and bowed his hand towards the Blood Cloud Ancestor,

“Please calm your anger, Elder Blood Cloud. The young one is ignorant; I hope you can give face to the Taixu Sacred Land!”

“The Taixu Sacred Land… Hehehe!”

The Blood Cloud Ancestor looked at Fu He, his eyes betraying a chilling murderous intent, yet as if suddenly remembering something, he eventually withdrew his gaze.

A Divine Transformation Realm Nine Layers like Fu He, he did not take seriously.

But as for the Taixu Sacred Land behind him, the Blood Cloud Ancestor had to give some face.

His survival up to this day was due to his understanding of whom he could offend and whom he could not.

As a Holy Land,

The Taixu Sacred Land was also amongst the top forces in the Eastern Domain.

One should note.

Not all Holy Lands are at the same level.

Some Holy Lands have only had Saints at the helm, while some have produced Great Saints, and even more powerful beings.

At this moment,

the others listening to Fu He’s words looked at him with a degree of wariness in their eyes.

“Who would have thought that people from the Taixu Sacred Land would also be here!”

“Thirty thousand years ago, the Taixu Sacred Land produced a Great Saint-level powerhouse who shook the entire Eastern Domain; such a force indeed has an unfathomable foundation…”
