Immortal Martial Emperor

"To the Blood Demon Palace!"

Hong Yu said calmly.

Meng Chenggong and Landy exchanged a look, their eyes wide with horror.

They still found it hard to believe. Even someone as powerful as Blood Wen had been defeated and captured by Hong Yu, reduced to a common prisoner?

Landy hesitated. "There are still a few days until the Profound Ice Secret Realm reopens. We can’t go back yet!"

"Is that so? Then we’ll wait a few more days."

Hong Yu nodded and looked at Meng Chenggong. "Grand General Meng, where is Wudi?"

Meng Chenggong replied, "That girl from the Xu Family still hasn’t woken up. It seems her injuries triggered the inheritance within her, so she’s still in a deep sleep. I left a squad of men at the main camp to look after her."

"Good. Let’s return to the main camp first."

Hong Yu nodded and took Little Chenxi from Young Master Yeban’s arms.

Gazing at the sleeping Little Chenxi, he couldn’t help but frown. "What happened to her?"

"It’s like this..."

Young Master Yeban quickly explained how Little Chenxi had fallen asleep after the Ice Tear on her chest activated to protect everyone.

Hong Yu’s brow furrowed slightly.

A faint blue light emanated from his palm and flowed into Little Chenxi’s body. After confirming she wasn’t in any real danger, he breathed a sigh of relief and sent her into the tower’s space, leaving her in the care of Little One and the others.

With a flick of his finger, he sent three bottles of Spirit Pills flying out. "These are Fifth-Grade Spirit Pills. Take them. They’ll help with your injuries."

"Whoa! Fifth-Grade Spirit Pills? Money! This is all money!"

Young Master Yeban’s eyes were full of stars as he hugged the jade bottle, rubbing it against his face repeatedly.

After rubbing it for a long while, he carefully put it away in his Storage Ring.

Hong Yu was exasperated. "You’re injured too. Aren’t you going to take one?"

Young Master Yeban chuckled. "These are Fifth-Grade Spirit Pills! They’re worth a fortune! I’ll just take this instead." As he spoke, he took out a Porcelain Bottle, tipped out a Pill from within, and swallowed it.

The corner of Hong Yu’s eye twitched.

’What a miser!’

’To save money, he only took a single First-Grade Spirit Pill?’

Landy and Meng Chenggong were also dumbfounded, gaining a new level of understanding of this miser.

The two of them each took a Pill, and the effects were remarkable.

Yeban looked at the two men, who had mostly recovered, then at himself, who had felt no effect from the First-Grade Spirit Pill. He blinked and said with a beaming smile, "My friends, I see you still have some Spirit Pills left... How about you sponsor me one? My injuries are just too severe. A First-Grade Spirit Pill isn’t enough!"

Without waiting for them to object, he snatched a Spirit Pill from each of their hands.

He swallowed one and put the other one back into his pouch.

Landy: "..."

Meng Chenggong: "..."

The two stared at each other, then finally looked at Hong Yu, as if to say, ’This is your friend?’

Hong Yu covered his face. "..." ’I don’t know him!’

’So damn embarrassing!’

Only Young Master Yeban was chuckling away, still enthusiastically commenting on how good the Fifth-Grade Spirit Pill tasted.

...

After waiting for several days, the Profound Ice Secret Realm opened once again.

Neither Landy nor Meng Chenggong looked happy. Tens of thousands of people had entered, but now only a few dozen remained.

This expedition into the Profound Ice Secret Realm had caused nearly every major power in the Ice Kingdom to suffer devastating losses.

Landy’s expression was particularly grim.

The Profound Ice Secret Realm expeditions had been going on for years, but the Royal Family had never suffered such a great loss!

His heart was filled with incomparable hatred for the Blood Demon Palace, and even more so for Blood Wen.

Gazing at Demon Blood, who was being carried on Xingtian’s shoulder, he wished he could kill the man with a single strike.

Hong Yu said coolly, "He’s useful to me."

"Hmph!"

Landy was helpless and could only snort coldly at Demon Blood.

The group left through the Transmission Channel.

Lantian Dou flew over alone. He had already learned of the heavy casualties among the major powers through a Soul Jade Scroll and asked Meng Chenggong, "What on earth happened? Why did so many people die?"

Meng Chenggong took a deep breath. "The Blood Demon Palace!"

He then told Lantian Dou everything that had happened inside the Profound Ice Secret Realm.

"What?"

Lantian Dou erupted in fury, his anger flaring like a volcano, scorching and immense. "Blood Wen dared to move against our Royal Family? Good, good, very good. What a Blood Demon Palace. It seems our tolerance over the years has made them forget who rules the Ice Kingdom."

As he was speaking, Hong Yu had already unfurled his Divine Demon Wings, taking Xingtian, Yeban, and Demon Blood with him as he soared into the sky.

Lantian Dou frowned slightly. "Where is he going?"

Landy stepped forward and whispered, "Uncle Wang, Hong Yu is going to destroy the Blood Demon Palace!"

"What? That kid wants to destroy the Blood Demon Palace all by himself?" Lantian Dou’s face was filled with astonishment.

The Blood Demon Palace had deep foundations.

Even after losing a large number of their elites, they still had many Elder Level powerhouses back at the Sect, not to mention their sect-protecting grand array. Even the Royal Family would need to mobilize a massive army to destroy the Blood Demon Palace in its current state!

Hong Yu wanted to destroy the Blood Demon Palace alone?

’Is that even possible?’

Lantian Dou said, "That kid is being reckless. You two, mobilize the army immediately. I’ll go stop him first!"

Before he could move, Meng Chenggong grabbed his arm.

Meng Chenggong said with a strange expression, "Chairman Lan, I think we should just wait here."

"What do you mean?" Lantian Dou asked, puzzled.

Meng Chenggong gave a wry smile. "It might sound unbelievable, but we don’t need to mobilize the army at all. We just have to wait for the news of the Blood Demon Palace’s destruction."

"Are you joking? You believe Hong Yu can destroy the Blood Demon Palace by himself?"

Seeing Meng Chenggong nod, Lantian Dou was stunned. He turned to Landy. "You believe it too?"

With a mournful expression, Landy nodded.

Lantian Dou suddenly felt like his brain couldn’t keep up. "One person wants to destroy the Blood Demon Palace, a sect with hundreds of years of history? Is... is that even possible?"

Lantian Dou was the first to leap into the air, flying rapidly toward the Blood Demon Palace.

Meng Chenggong, Landy, Xu Rongchang, and many other powerhouses followed close behind.

Their hearts were all filled with complex emotions.

They longed to witness the miraculous feat of Hong Yu single-handedly annihilating the Blood Demon Palace.

Yet, at the same time, they found it difficult to convince themselves that such a thing could actually happen.

「Meanwhile!」

Atop the massive, snow-covered peak where the Blood Demon Palace was located.

The Grand Array was already active. The sudden shattering of the Soul Jade Scrolls of many Blood Demon Palace powerhouses had long ago put the sect on alert. Orders had been given, and they were prepared to face their enemies.

The Mountain Protection Array had been activated long ago.

This was the "Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts," an incredibly powerful formation said to be built upon a foundation of a million corpses.

Anyone who entered the Grand Array without a Blood Demon Palace disciple’s Token would be attacked by the formation, plagued by hallucinations, and tormented to death by endless resentment.

Even a Primordial Embryo Realm Powerhouse would struggle to resist this powerful resentment.

It was because of this Grand Array that the Blood Demon Palace dared to act unscrupulously, even when facing the Ice Kingdom’s Royal Family.

Several Blood Demon Palace disciples were chatting. "What do you think happened? Why did the Elder Council suddenly order the entire Sect to be on high alert?"

"I heard something big happened. Apparently, almost all the Blood Demon Palace powerhouses in the Profound Ice Secret Realm are dead, and the experts from the other powers suffered heavy losses too."

"No way! Didn’t the Grand Elder lead the team to the Profound Ice Secret Realm this time? How could something like that happen?"

"Hehe, who cares? It’s better if they’re dead. The more who die, the more the Sect will focus on training us!"

"That’s true!"

The disciples who were talking suddenly froze, noticing several figures flying toward them from the horizon.

"Huh? That looks like the Palace Master!" someone exclaimed.

Suddenly...

A dozen powerful auras shot out from within the Blood Demon Palace. They were the Elders of the sect. The weakest among them had Mid-Stage Primordial Core Realm Cultivation, and there were three Primordial Embryo Realm Powerhouses.

A single Sect possessing five Primordial Embryo Realm Powerhouses.

One could only imagine how powerful the Blood Demon Palace was!

The one in the lead was the Second Elder of the Blood Demon Palace. He stared into the void with cold eyes. "Is that really the Palace Master? How... how did he end up in such a state, captured by someone?"

"It’s Hong Yu! That young man is Hong Yu!"

"What? It’s him?"

The faces of the Blood Demon Palace Elders filled with rage. "Is this bastard born to oppose our Blood Demon Palace? We must use the Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts to execute him today!"

"That’s right! The Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts is incredibly powerful. Even the Kingdom’s Top Ten Powerhouses working together would struggle to break it. We must kill this brat and rescue the Palace Master!"

The Blood Demon Palace Elders seethed with fury.

Hong Yu stood in the air, naturally seeing the situation within the Grand Array. His powerful voice boomed like a thunderclap in a clear sky, echoing through the void. "Listen up, people of the Blood Demon Palace! You cultivate Evil Cultivation Techniques, murdering common people and drawing their blood to advance your cultivation. You have committed countless sins that have angered both Heaven and man. Today, I, Hong Yu, will raze this vile Sect to the ground!"

How powerful was his cultivation?

His power, enhanced by Spiritual Fluctuation, resounded throughout the entire Frozen City. Countless powerhouses sensed it, their faces filled with horror.

「Deep within the Royal Palace, in a secret chamber.」

A powerhouse in a Dragon Robe opened his eyes, a playful look on his face. "Hong Yu? Daring to challenge the Blood Demon Palace? Interesting, very interesting!"

「In a corner on a certain street.」

A slovenly old man abruptly stood up, a sharp glint in his eyes. "Raze the Blood Demon Palace to the ground? Haha, now this is a show worth watching!"

「Inside a luxurious courtyard.」

A bald, burly man was groping several beautiful women in his arms when suddenly, he let go and shot to his feet. He stared in the direction of the Blood Demon Palace. "Someone actually dares to take on the Blood Demon Palace? Hmph, those bastards killed so many of my brothers. I want to see which hero has such guts!"

Countless powerhouses, and even ordinary people, began rushing toward the Blood Demon Palace.

The Elders of the Blood Demon Palace glared at him, grinding their teeth. "Damn you, Hong Yu! You’re too arrogant."

"Hmph, raze our Blood Demon Palace to the ground? A wet-behind-the-ears brat like you isn’t nearly enough!"

"Try it if you have the guts!"

"Our Blood Demon Palace is under the Shelter of the Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts! If you dare to enter, we’ll make sure you die without a burial place!"

Hearing the fearless words of the Blood Demon Palace members, Hong Yu suddenly grinned, a playful look on his face. "The Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts? Heh. Built on a foundation of a million corpses and requiring a constant supply of Essence Blood year after year... Who knows how many innocent lives this evil Array has claimed? In that case, I, Hong Yu, will just have to break it today!"

"What? You want to break the Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts?"

"Hahaha! Ridiculous! You truly don’t know your own limits!"

The Blood Demon Palace powerhouses roared with laughter, their voices full of mockery and contempt, as if they had just heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

A flicker of light crossed Hong Yu’s eyes. The corners of his lips curved up in a gentle arc, as warm as the winter sun, but in the eyes of the Blood Demon Palace members, it looked incredibly sinister.

His calm voice slowly drifted over, causing everyone to hold their breath and widen their eyes...

"An evil Array like this? To break it... one punch is all I need!"
