Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 841 - 436: Capability

Tie Dan nodded in agreement,

"Oh, Qin Baichuan from Emei, right? Absolutely. Left punch a Peak Master, right punch a Demon God, how many punches did your Dharma King withstand?"

However, the Eastern Venerable obviously didn’t want to discuss the embarrassing topic of the Dharma King being killed with one punch, so they proactively changed the subject,

"By the way, where did you spring from, kid?"

"Naturally, I came to join the army."

Tie Dan pointed to the barbecue,

"Back then, I was chased all the way by Six Gates to Yin Mountain, and barely found a chance to strike back at the pursuing troops.

After healing my wounds and avoiding the spotlight, I came out only to hear that the Heavenly King had crossed the Gen River, sweeping across the Central Plains.

Hearing that the Three Constellations ministers were expelled from the Capital, I thought I’d try my luck.

After all, the north is cold and nothing of Immortal Fate... So, when you guys make Elixirs, do you have to use them all up? Can you spare me a portion."

The Eastern Venerable snorted coldly, then extended a fiery hand from the bonfire, throwing out a large leg.

"Please."

Tie Dan unabashedly sliced off a strip of meat and ate it, while staring intently at the Jiao’s corpse burning fiercely in the fire.

"Do you know what that is?"

"Humph, a Dragon Seed."

The Eastern Venerable glanced at Tie Dan’s bosom,

"These princes and nobles, royal and dignified, truly favored by fate and the Heavenly Dao. Each possesses an Immortal Bone, with astonishing natural talent. Naturally, they are best for crafting Elixirs and Medicine."

Tie Dan gnawed on the meat,

"So, Venerable intends to use this calamity to plot, annihilate the Stone Jiao family, act on behalf of the heavens, eliminating evil for the people, and conveniently refine a couple of Elixirs to enjoy?"

"Hehehe." "Giggling." "Cackling."

The surrounding Blood Shadows all started laughing, like a breeze rustling through a forest, as if Liu Xiaoliu’s words were amusing to them.

Tie Dan wasn’t bothered by these strangers’ ridicule, and asked, playing dumb,

"But I heard the Divine Sect has always been hostile to the Demon Palace. Why this time help Three Constellations with their disaster? Wouldn’t it be better to let them self-destruct and just watch from the sidelines?"

The Eastern Venerable did not laugh, merely said blandly,

"Indeed, as a member of the Holy Sect, we can ignore other matters as long as we oppose the Demon Palace for merit and rewards.

However, this time it’s unrelated to the ideology of our sect. It’s merely carrying out a task for someone."

Tie Dan raised his eyebrows,

"On whose behalf? That Suixian Governor? What resources does he have that’s worth the Divine Sect working for him?"

The Eastern Venerable sneered,

"Resources? Why, is joining our sect and sacrificing blood food of 40 cities in the Central Plains not enough?

Even the arrogant Stone Jiao is reluctant to offer millions of people as sacrifices to our sect, wanting them for their own use.

But Zhang Suiyang dares to wager everything, join the game in person, reversing fate.

The setup is his, the array is his, the order is his, and the people he kills are his.

He shoulders the calamities others dare not touch, takes on tasks others dare not do, bears the karma others dare not invite.

Once this calamity is completed, everyone else is absolved, all faults and killing karma rest squarely on him alone.

Do you think he’s worthy of our full investment, for brethren to aid him, to respectfully call him a Dharma King?"

Oh, so that’s the sort of person he is, although never met, Tie Dan understood this person.

So Tie Dan pondered briefly, and asked,

"So as long as I can provide more sacrifices to the Divine Sect, you would also work for me?"

Eastern Venerable, "Hahahahaha!"

Blood Shadow, "Cackling!"

Tie Dan in earnest, "A world of Taiji Heaven’s size, with about ten billion population, does that interest Venerable?"

The Eastern Venerable and Blood Shadow stopped laughing, thinking, is he out of his mind...

Tie Dan negotiating, "I’ll give you a few more?"

Eastern Venerable rolled his eyes, "Don’t go to extremes."

Tie Dan speechless, "No, I actually have..."

But the Eastern Venerable raised his hand, hearing a swift sound, branding a Blood Handprint on a large knife,

"Stop wasting time, Liu Xiaoliu, you indeed have done great deeds for our sect, but my true self is not here, so it’s inconvenient to settle with you.

Since you’re mistakenly caught in calamity now, I’ll spare you a dog’s life this time, let you escape the array, now hurry up and scram!"

Tie Dan queried in amazement,

"Why, Venerable won’t take me to Suiyang to join?"

The Eastern Venerable snorted coldly,

"Join what? A death quest? I’ve said, this time’s affair, even if the sky falls, it has nothing to do with the Divine Sect, upending the world, seas dry stones crumble, that’s the Dharma King’s calamity alone!

Now Suiyang has become the central hub of the great array, ten dead ends, if the Dao succeeds, one lives, if the Dao fails, one perishes! If you don’t want to die with your woman in this damn place, then hurry and scram! Seeing you is annoying!"

Then the Eastern Venerable, unwilling to waste more words, seized with his Blood Hand, transforming into five gusts of crimson wind as protection, directly wrapped Tie Dan and Shi Gui, casting them outside Liangdu City.

Tie Dan was flabbergasted, not expecting this Eastern Venerable to be cold on the surface but kind-hearted, quite looking after old friends, willing to send him off.

"Ugh—!"

After a night of turbulence, witnessing scenes of corpse mountains and blood seas, and close contact with the mental pollution of a group of Blood God’s Sons, Shi Gui finally could no longer endure, struggling down from Tie Dan’s hold, and vomited profusely, even sour water spurting out.

Tie Dan ignored her, merely gazing into the distance at the city gradually flattened into barren mounds and giant graves, as blood wind and fire sea gradually spread, and his heart calculating ceaselessly.

The Eastern Venerable had explained clearly just now, that this calamity at Suiyang, unrelated to others, all rests on the newly appointed Dharma King alone.

So this round isn’t about the Divine Sect battling Heavenly King, it’s a calamity of his own making.

From rough calculations, it seems that Governor Zhang Suiyang, seeing the Heavenly King Army approaching, with Immortal Palace utterly defeated, and mountains and rivers irretrievable, forcibly initiated a calamity with his own strength, reversing fate, offering 40 cities of Eastern Country to the Divine Sect as sacrifice, hundreds of millions of people, transforming blood into divinity. Regardless of success, he has ambushed Heavenly King, dragging the unsuspecting rebel army into death.
