The Blood God King was very annoyed right now.
After all the effort to squeeze out Li Yuhan’s consciousness and successfully take over the body,
and after a round of bombardment, just as he was about to make a big move, Yunhai and the others started fighting with members from other clans.
“You damned ants, how dare you ignore me!”
Li Yuhan shouted angrily,
“One by one, all of you will die!”
“Blood God Formation, activate!”
Li Yuhan, using himself as the formation center, triggered the Blood God Formation he had prepared days in advance.
The masters from various clans, caught in the chaotic battle, were intimidated by Li Yuhan’s aura and looked at him with lingering fear.
“Hahaha, all of you will become my nourishment! The stepping stones for me to return to my peak!”
A blood-red pillar of light enveloped Li Yuluo’s entire body, stretching upwards until it disappeared into the clouds.
Immediately after, the blood-red pillar in the dark clouds expanded, forming a massive circular formation that covered the entire palace.
“W-what is that?”
Everyone present was shocked.
“Hahaha, you’ll see soon enough.”
Li Yuhan looked at them with a pitiful expression.
Yunhai and the others sensed something was wrong and immediately fell back to defend, moving to surround Li Yuhan.
“Little Li of the Li family, what do you intend to do?”
“Get lost.”
Li Yuhan casually delivered a palm strike that killed a Foundation Establishment Elder who was leading the charge.
No longer hiding his strength, he unleashed the overwhelming pressure of a Golden Core cultivator.
“How is this possible?”
Yunhai and the others showed despair and disbelief.
“The little Li from the Li family is actually Golden Core? What a joke!”
A single Golden Core state national advisor was already hard to deal with; now there were two?
How were they supposed to fight?
“Li Yuhan, I really didn’t expect you not only to violate the ancestral rules of the royal family by practicing in secret but also to involve the Demonic Dao!”
Faced with the accusations from several clan leaders, Li Yuhan sneered contemptuously:
“Demonic Dao… the cultivation system created by me. You stubborn old fools don’t deserve to evaluate it. It’s a waste of breath to say more to you—go die.”
Logically, the Blood God Formation should have been complete by now, and these people should have been dead long ago.
However, from beginning to end, aside from the massive blood-red formation covering the sky above the palace, nothing else changed.
Li Yuhan was stunned.
What was going on?
Where were the other eight Formation Eyes?
Unbeknownst to Li Yuhan, the massive Blood God Formation he had prepared to cover the entire palace had been completely dismantled by Zhang Yuge that very morning.
The culprit was still playing make-believe war with a group of clan scions who hadn’t even reached Foundation Establishment.
Zhang Yuge understood that these people were all cannon fodder, meant to stall him so the main force could kill Li Yuhan.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuhan had already broken through to Golden Core.
The last time they fought, he was clearly late Foundation Establishment.
No, Li Yuhan’s pressure was too strong now.
Facing him directly made Zhang Yuge feel weak.
He couldn’t put in too much effort—just play along with these cannon fodder for now.
If he retreated now, Li Yuhan would definitely pursue him relentlessly.
Zhang Yuge kept watching Li Yuhan’s movements from the shadows, waiting for the stalemate to reach a critical moment so he could slip away.
Li Yuhan seemed to realize something.
He recalled how Zhang Yuge had been late that morning, and Li Yuluo had even personally gone to look for him, worried he wouldn’t come.
Damn it…
Li Yuhan turned toward the masked man in black robes, gritting his teeth:
“Zhang, Qing, Yao.”
Zhang Yuge suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Beside them, Li Yuluo looked worried, not knowing what had happened, and glanced at Li Yuhan.
“Elder Brother, what’s wrong? Is there a problem with the formation?”
The national advisor naturally wouldn’t tell the girl the truth.
He softly comforted her:
“Don’t worry. Your elder brother is Golden Core; those people can’t hurt him.”
“Mmhm.”
Hearing this, Li Yuluo regained her confidence.
Meanwhile, to deal with the strongest opponent present—Li Yuhan—the previously chaotic clans formed a temporary united front against the big boss.
“The little Li from the Li family wants to kill us all!”
“Let’s take care of this Demonic Dao first, then we’ll figure out what to do.”
“Look, this weird formation hasn’t activated yet. Seems like something’s wrong.”
In this way, the sudden failure of the Blood God Formation was quickly noticed by the five major clans.
“Even without the formation, I can still slaughter you all like a joke. Die, ants!”
Li Yuhan stretched out his right hand, conjuring a huge scythe out of thin air.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator who failed to dodge in time was sliced in half at the waist.
Then something strange happened.
The cultivator, cut in two, disappeared visibly, dissolving into red blood strands that were absorbed by Li Yuhan.
The clan leaders watching this were all terrified.
“To think the little Li of the Li family would resort to such sinister Demonic Dao methods.”
Among them, the Huajia Clan Leader recognized Li Yuhan’s technique and exclaimed:
“This looks like the cultivation method of the Magical Dao Blood Nether Sect!”
“The Blood Nether Sect? Wasn’t it wiped out by the righteous alliance over five hundred years ago?”
“Little Li of the Li family, who taught you this Demonic Dao cultivation method?”
Yunhai shouted sternly.
“Shut up.”
Li Yuhan casually swung his scythe, sending a blood-colored crescent moon attack toward Yunhai.
Yunhai barely blocked the strike, expending a large amount of mana and looking exhausted.
What these people said naturally reached Li Yuhan’s ears.
“Before my ascension, I founded the Blood Nether Sect, which once flourished throughout the cultivation world. Unexpectedly, it ended in complete annihilation.”
Of course, he was just sighing over it.
Weakness led to destruction; there was nothing to regret.
What mattered most now was removing these obstacles blocking his path to cultivation.
“Unfortunately, this body’s current strength is only early Golden Core, or else I wouldn’t even need the Blood God Formation to deal with you Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining trash.”
With that, Li Yuhan lifted his scythe and entered slaughter mode.
Elsewhere, Zhang Yuge kicked away a clan scion he found annoying and then glanced at Li Yuhan’s direction.
Good, Li Yuhan’s fighting now.
This was the best time to escape.
Zhang Yuge stopped playing make-believe with these cannon fodder and swiftly knocked them all down.
“Wife, it’s time to go.”
He shouted to Li Yuluo.
Li Yuluo was dueling a Divine Phoenix Sect disciple disguised as a Ji family scion.
Hearing him, she asked confusedly,
“Ah? Where to?”
Zhang Yuge suddenly appeared and punched the Divine Phoenix Sect disciple flying.
“I’m going to save my family now. It’s too dangerous for you here. Come with me.”
“But elder brother—”
“Those people can’t beat your elder brother. You should worry about yourself.”
Without waiting for an answer, Zhang Yuge forcefully grabbed her hand and began to retreat.
However, Li Yuluo spotted Yunshan and his group escorting the Empress making a breakout in the distance.
The girl exclaimed,
“Wait, husband. Our Imperial Sister-in-law is about to be abducted. Hurry, go save her!”
