Ji Yuan confronts Zhu Guang, whose powerful sword technique is surprisingly shattered by Ji Yuan's techniques. Zhu Guang uses a blood escape technique to evade Ji Yuan's attacks and attempts to open Blood Sword Island. Ji Yuan swiftly intervenes, killing Zhu Guang and capturing his soul. Ji Yuan then retrieves Zhu Guang's body and storage bag, recognizing their value as immortal materials. Returning to Huang Xiu, they discover that only three disciples from Dan Ding Sect remain before a powerful presence emerges from the passage.

Chapter 1252: Chapter 427: Divine Blood Sword

It seems like it wants to come out!

“Back away!”

Just as Ji Yuan’s words fell, Huang Xiu transformed into escape light and left. She knew that with her strength staying here would only be a burden.

At the very moment she left, Ji Yuan saw a blood-dripping, grotesque head pushing its way out from the passage.

It appeared like a dog’s head, but hairless, with a wide-open mouth full of saw-like fangs.

The blood dripping from its head and mouth made it seem as though it had just crawled out of a blood pool.

But what truly puzzled Ji Yuan was the aura on this Demon Beast.

Late-stage Tier Three!

How did this late-stage Tier Three Demon Beast get into this Blood Sword Island?

Without waiting for him to ponder, the Demon Beast suddenly exerted force, breaking free from the constraints of the passage, and ran out from within the Blood Sword Island.

It was about ten feet long, looking like a hairless dog, but its four legs were covered with dense red scales, appearing as if it was stepping on four red clouds.

Seeing it emerge, the six Canglan Swords beside Ji Yuan naturally wanted to strike immediately.

But at this moment, he felt another aura rushing out from the passage.

Ji Yuan turned to look, and saw that it was now a man at the Peak of Qi Refining, yet in the next moment, his aura kept climbing.

Foundation Establishment Early Stage, Mid Stage, Late Stage…

Quickly, just as the man’s aura was about to reach the Core Formation Stage, Ji Yuan made a sword gesture with his right hand, sweeping it back and forth.

Two Canglan Swords slashed back, instantly killing the man.

At the same time, he recognized that the person before him was still a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

…Not sure what method they used to actually evade my detection.

While Ji Yuan felt puzzled, the remaining four Flying Swords formed a Thunder Net to trap the late-stage Tier Three demon beast.

The demon beast tried to run out repeatedly, but was electrically convulsed every time by the Thunder Net.

Although Ji Yuan could not recognize what this demon beast was exactly, its appearance suggested it most likely came from one of the Four Demon Sects.

After resolving these changes, when he was ready to send the man’s corpse to the Chaotic Burial Mound, he suddenly noticed something on the man… something not stored into the Storage Bag.

Ji Yuan swept with his Divine Sense, and found it was another blood-colored small sword, seemingly the type that could be refined.

He naturally wanted to store it in the Storage Bag, but found no way to take it back.

After several attempts, even the Mountain of Mind and Heart couldn’t retrieve it, so Ji Yuan just hid it well within his sleeve.

He then turned to look at the demonic beast.

In the distance, Huang Xiu flew over again.

“Brother Xu, this is the Sect Guardian Spirit Beast of the Blood Shadow Sect, named Bloodthirsty Devouring Moon Dog; its ancestor is a Tier Four Early Stage Spirit Beast, and this one is part of their tribe.”

As soon as Huang Xiu arrived, she hurriedly explained to Ji Yuan.

“Surely it was the Demon Dao that acted!”

The more Huang Xiu thought, the angrier she became.

At this moment, two or three Qi Cultivation Stage disciples began to come out from the passage.

Each of them had pale faces, even appearing timid upon emergence.

Ji Yuan turned to see a disciple from the Cloud Rain Sect, and two disciples from the Dan Ding Sect.

“The problem has been resolved, and I will take you back to the sect later, rest assured.”

“Thank, thank Elder for the rescue!”

They approached, cupped their hands, and saluted Ji Yuan in gratitude.

Despite that, they couldn’t stop trembling.

“I’ll take this item back and let You Zai Daoist handle it.”

Ji Yuan was unfamiliar with the situation in the Xingluo Archipelago, but in any event, such a major occurrence required an explanation from the Four Demon Sects.

And naturally, the best one to negotiate this matter was You Zai Daoist.

“Alright, we’ll follow Brother Xu’s lead.”

Considering Ji Yuan had handled everything, Huang Xiu helped only by offering a few explanations…

Therefore, at the moment Ji Yuan spoke, Huang Xiu dared not raise any doubt.

Then Ji Yuan used Purple Sky Divine Thunder to stun the demon beast and released the gigantic carriage dragged by the Flying Tiger to throw this Bloodthirsty Devouring Moon Dog onto it.

A bit later.

The remaining few disciples from the Three Star Luo Sects also managed to escape one by one.

Dan Ding Sect had the most survivors, with four left.

Cloud Rain Sect had two.

The Heavenly Sword Sect was most unfortunate, with only one ninth-level Qi Cultivation disciple surviving.

Listening to their brief explanations.

Ji Yuan grasped roughly what happened.

Initially, everything seemed fine upon entering, but somehow this Tier Three demon beast appeared.

A Tier Three demon beast emerging among a group of Qi Cultivation Stage disciples was undoubtedly a one-sided slaughter.

That these few disciples survived was pure blind luck.

“I’ll trouble Daoist Huang to visit Heavenly Sword Sect.”

After settling the disciples, Ji Yuan turned to Huang Xiu.

He did not want to detour, nor interact with the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Huang Xiu understood this point, though she was reluctant to go… after all, the problem stemmed from the Heavenly Sword Sect, and they lost three Core Formation Stage cultivators.

Including talents like Punishment Sword and Zhu Guang.

In the Heavenly Sword Sect, they were regarded as future Nascent Soul cultivators, so if Huang Xiu went to explain these matters… she felt returning to the Dan Ding Sect wouldn’t be easy.

After considering for a while, Huang Xiu spoke to the lone surviving disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect:
