Chu Xingchen poured out all the Blood Qi Spirit Stones from the Spatial Rings.

The pile of roughly three to four thousand Blood Qi Spirit Stones was quite a sight to behold.

Yaoqin sighed helplessly, taking out the token she had scavenged from the evil cultivators and absorbed the Blood Qi Spirit Stones into it.

Since the token couldn't absorb so many, a small pile remained, which Chu Xingchen quickly retrieved.

Those evil cultivators were acting so brazenly, they must have reached a critical point and were extremely short on resources, to the extent that they would rather have too much than too little.

When they sacrificed the entire village, they didn't even spare women and children, likely because they were desperately short on Blood Qi.

Faced with this large amount of high-quality Blood Qi Spirit Stones, they would likely rush to deliver it, and by following the person delivering it to the Holy Mother, they could probably catch them all.

Chu Xingchen extended his hand and said, "Give me the token, you stay here and follow anyone who comes."

Yaoqin hesitated slightly before saying, "Why don't I go, and you wait outside?"

"With your demeanor, can you pass as an evil cultivator?" Chu Xingchen said helplessly, "Evil cultivators laugh with a sinister 'hehehe,' and you can't even laugh. Let me handle this."

Yaoqin sighed and didn't insist.

She knew she wasn't good at acting and would likely skip deception and go straight into a bloody battle.

She sighed again and handed the token to Chu Xingchen, advising:

"Be careful, I'll come up to support if there's any commotion."

Chu Xingchen took the token and confidently said, "No problem, just watch me perform."

Yaoqin nodded lightly, watching as Chu Xingchen turned and flew straight towards the Wind Sword Sect's mountain gate.

Since Chu Xingchen didn't conceal any Spiritual Power fluctuations.

Two Foundation Establishment disciples at the Wind Sword Sect's entrance quickly noticed Chu Xingchen flying through the air.

The disciple on the left side of the mountain gate cautiously inquired, "May I ask what brings the senior to the Wind Sword Sect?"

Chu Xingchen first used the System Interface to scan the two, discovering the entry for Acquired Demonic Body, indicating they must know the inside story.

Chu Xingchen snorted coldly, as if angry and disappointed:

"Delivering Blood Qi Spirit Stones. I heard the Holy Mother is so short on Blood Qi that she's resorted to sacrificing women and children? The Evil Spirit Sect's grand plan is all ruined by you!"

"What does the senior mean? What Evil Spirit Sect?!"

The Foundation Establishment disciple was shocked and quickly retreated, intending to sound the alarm.

But then he saw a mass of dark red Spiritual Power suddenly appear in Chu Xingchen's left hand, effortlessly stirring the Blood Qi within himself...

And it was done with an overwhelming dominance.

This made his actions suddenly halt, and he, who initially didn't believe, now did.

The handsome man before him must be a seasoned evil cultivator, and a very evil one at that!

He had seen evil cultivators from the Evil Spirit Sect before, but never one who could stir his own Blood Qi with just a summoned mass of Spiritual Power.

The Foundation Establishment disciple quickly stopped his actions, cupped his hands, and said, "Please wait a moment, senior, I will notify the Sect Master immediately."

Chu Xingchen urged, "Don't waste time, go quickly!"

The Foundation Establishment disciple swiftly ran inside upon hearing this.

Chu Xingchen waited briefly, soon seeing a middle-aged man in white swiftly flying through the air towards him.

The man flew to Chu Xingchen and cupped his hands in inquiry, "I am the Sect Master of the Wind Sword Sect, may I ask you..."

"No need to recognize the person, just recognize the Spirit Stones." Chu Xingchen seemed unwilling to say more, directly tossing the token to the white-robed middle-aged man,

"Really don't know how you can work with such insects and expect the Evil Spirit Sect to grow?"

The Wind Sword Sect Sect Master caught the token, his divine sense probing inside, finding it filled with Blood Qi Spirit Stones...

He looked up at Chu Xingchen in astonishment, seeing only disappointment in Chu Xingchen's eyes.

"The Holy Mother is crucial to the plan, don't delay, I'll go elsewhere to gather Spirit Stones." Chu Xingchen finished speaking, his gaze fixed on the Wind Sword Sect Sect Master,

"Explain to those insects that once this matter is over, I'll hold them accountable for their incompetence!"

The Wind Sword Sect Sect Master was about to say more, but the dark red Spiritual Power on Chu Xingchen's body suddenly erupted, then transformed into a dark red Rainbow Radiance and flew away.

Leaving the Wind Sword Sect Sect Master with unspoken words.

He glanced down at the token in his hand.

Regardless, the urgently needed Blood Qi Spirit Stones couldn't be fake, and the Spiritual Power aura just now... was undoubtedly that of an evil cultivator.

Could it be that the Evil Spirit Sect in Central State still managed to send it under such critical circumstances?

The Wind Sword Sect Sect Master put away the token, glanced at the disciple beside him, and said:

"Go, gather three elders, and escort these Spirit Stones to the Holy Mother with me."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

——————

In just a short time.

The Wind Sword Sect Sect Master was now rushing madly towards the Holy Mother's place with three Golden Core cultivators.

One Golden Core elder asked skeptically, "Sect Master, without any information, are you sure this is reliable?"

The Wind Sword Sect Sect Master replied, "This matter has reached a critical point! Once the Holy Mother is born, everything will be settled! As long as these Blood Qi Spirit Stones are real, does anything else matter?"

The elder who asked nodded slightly, acknowledging the truth in that.

Another Golden Core elder frowned slightly, speaking in a strange tone:

"Sect Master... I keep feeling a vague sense of being watched..."

"You coward, how come we don't feel it?"

"I've told you, spend less time on women, use that effort to cultivate more, can't you?"

"I think he's just spent too much effort on women, and his divine sense is only left with that kind of thing!"

The Wind Sword Sect Sect Master saw the ridiculed Golden Core cultivator's expression turning slightly angry and quickly interrupted:

"Don't speak too much at this time! If there's anything, wait until we've delivered these Spirit Stones, then do whatever you want back at the Wind Sword Sect!"

As the Sect Master's voice fell, the other Golden Core elders fell silent.

The four continued on their way without further words.

Until the sky began to lighten, they arrived at a continuous mountain range.

The Wind Sword Sect Sect Master was the first to stop at the foot of a mountain, his divine sense quickly scanning the surroundings.

After confirming no one was within his divine sense's range, he reached out and touched the mountain wall before him, injecting Blood Qi power into it.

A blood-red light surged from the mountain wall, quickly wrapping around the Wind Sword Sect Sect Master's arm, as if confirming something.

Once confirmed, the dark red energy quickly retreated, and the cliff before him dissolved into Blood Mist.

The Wind Sword Sect Sect Master scanned the surroundings again with his divine sense, confirmed no one was there, and then led the three Golden Core elders inside.

The Blood Mist surged from the mountain wall again, condensing back into the cliff.

————

Elsewhere, behind a large tree.

Yaoqin looked at Chu Xingchen, who had stopped her, with a puzzled expression and asked:

"That's clearly an evil ritual formation, requiring an evil cultivation technique to enter. If they don't come out from there, won't it be too late if we don't go now?"

"Mere evil cultivator tricks, watch me!"

"Huh?"
