Chapter 204: Chapter 107: Red Evil True Demon Array

The Wei Clan Territory was home to over thirty-seven thousand mortals and more than a thousand Qi Cultivators. Among the Northern Domain Seven Kingdoms, they were considered a mid-tier clan.

This foundation was built by the Wei Clan over a thousand years of hardship, as they braved the elements and carved out a home for themselves.

For these Cultivation Clans, Spirit Veins came first, and clan members second. Only with a large and thriving population could more clan members with outstanding Spirit Roots emerge among the younger generations.

These mortals were protected by the Wei Family’s Grand Array, safe from the harassment of Demon Cultivators. They tilled the fields and wove cloth, living peaceful and contented lives that outsiders could only dream of.

But today, the Wei Clan Territory had become a sea of blood.

Countless skeletons were piled into small hills, their bones standing dense as a forest, matted hair tangled into clumps.

With numb expressions, the Wei Family’s Qi Cultivators processed the corpses of their own clan members—extracting sinews and bones, draining blood and flaying flesh, and sealing the screaming, wailing Divine Souls into jars. All the while, Celestial Demons of all shapes and sizes stared at them intently, thick saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths.

In the eyes of the demons, these Qi Cultivators were a supreme delicacy.

The Celestial Demons couldn’t wait for someone to make a mistake, so they could pounce, gnaw on their flesh, suck out their marrow, devour their Magical Power, and rip out their organs.

The tattered rags on the ground, still holding a faint Spiritual Charm, were all that remained of previous victims. With these warnings before them, no one dared to hesitate for even a moment, whether they were youths of fifteen or sixteen, or elders in their eighties and nineties. Their faces were pale with terror, but their hands never faltered.

Even when they saw the bodies of their own relatives, they could only grit their teeth and show no sign of distress.

Some Cultivators had already been driven mad. Right in front of their kinsmen, they were toyed with by the Outer Celestial Demons before being torn apart and devoured alive.

As disciples of the Wei Family, they naturally knew about their clan’s business dealings.

In the eyes of the Wei Family, those mortals and Independent Cultivators lived and died in ignorance, no different from senseless livestock. It was better to sell them to the Four Demon Sects and turn them into cultivation resources for the Wei clan.

Back then, they had freely enjoyed the profits reaped from human trafficking, never imagining that they, too, would one day end up in such a miserable state—an even worse one, in fact.

In the Wei Family’s ancestral hall, three white-haired elders had smashed their heads against the main gate. Their bodies slumped limply to the ground, eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.

Foul blood stained their ornate robes.

The ancestral tablets inside the hall had been swept to the floor, where a group of Demon Cultivators were drinking and making merry. The bodies of several exceptionally beautiful Wei women lay strewn about the ground, their Essence Qi drained dry through dual cultivation.

The Wei Family’s patriarch, Wei Zhongda, was dressed in a ridiculous woman’s robe, dancing for the amusement of the Demon Cultivators.

“Hahaha!”

The Demon Cultivator Bian Shiyin clapped loudly in delight.

“Old Wei dances quite well! A reward!”

As he spoke, he tossed a Spirit Stone at Old Wei’s head. He had added a bit of Power to the throw, smashing it against Wei Zhongda’s head and drawing blood.

Wei Zhongda didn’t dare wipe away the blood. Instead, he had to bow in thanks.

For Bian Shiyin was a direct descendant of a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Illusion Demon Sect. With a mere lift of his finger, he could ensure Wei Zhongda would die without a burial place.

The Demon Cultivators present burst into uproarious laughter, amused by his comical appearance.

Suddenly, a Spirit Talisman flew in from outside.

The laughter in the ancestral hall died instantly. A Demon Cultivator with the lowest Cultivation level cautiously stepped forward, caught the Spirit Talisman, and handed it to Bian Shiyin, who was seated in the place of honor.

Bian Shiyin glanced at the contents of the Spirit Talisman and said,

“Cen Xizhi is dead. He died at the hands of that killer, Yang Jing.”

Sharp intakes of breath could be heard from the surrounding Demon Cultivators. In the past three days, seven somewhat well-known True Disciples from the Four Demon Sects had already died at Yang Jing’s hands. As for the Demon Cultivators with no reputation, they died in silence, their deaths unknown to anyone.

As fellow Demon Sect disciples, they were not ignorant of the Power of other True Disciples. They truly couldn’t imagine how Yang Jing managed to cut people down as if they were weeds.

“There’s no need to panic, everyone. No matter how rampant Yang Jing is, it’s only temporary. We have the Red Evil True Demon Array that Fellow Daoist Bian brought out. As soon as we’ve prepared the sacrificial offerings, we can summon the Red Evil True Demon from the outer realm.”

A Demon Cultivator dressed in white and holding a Folding Fan addressed the others.

He was Wei Dong, a True Disciple of the Illusion Demon Sect.

With his family background, Bian Shiyin had no need to come to the Northern Domain to seize the Taiyin Illusion Demon Banner. Given his status within the Bian Family of the Illusion Demon Sect, there were far more suitable Techniques for him to overcome the Celestial Demon’s Obstructing Path Tribulation. It was Wei Dong who had taken advantage of his love for fame and grand achievements, coaxing him into coming to the Northern Domain.

Bian Shiyin had originally intended to seek out Yang Jing, engage him in Magical Combat, and take his head to make a name for himself among the Four Sects.

But after hearing that Yang Jing had killed Yan Gao, he immediately lost his nerve. It was Wei Dong who came up with a plan for him.

The plan was a classic deception. Hearing that Yang Jing was proficient in the Eye of Law Skill, Wei Dong gathered a group of fellow Demon Sect members, secretly dug a tunnel to get inside the Wei Family’s Array, and then set up a Seven Illusions of Celestial Demon Array within the Wei Clan Territory’s own Array.

This was a Tier Three Array that excelled at the art of illusion, a famous Array within the Illusion Demon Sect. Once it was set, even an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator would find it extremely difficult to see through.

With Wei Dong having laid this Array, the Wei Clan Territory inside was already a river of blood, but from the outside, everything still appeared perfectly normal.
