In fact, the Lin Family Cultivator and Blood Sea Immortal Venerable indeed planned to first enter the Divine Sect Mansion to seek opportunities. He was aware that Jiang Feng could freely enter and exit the Divine Sect Mansion, unaffected by the Restriction Array within.

However, as the saying goes, a strong outsider dragon cannot outmatch a local snake. Having just arrived in Central Earth, getting into a bloody battle with Jiang Feng might not be advantageous. It would be wiser to obtain the opportunity first.

Moreover, as long as they could post guards at the entrance, Jiang Feng might not be able to rush inside. Conversely, if Jiang Feng were unstoppable even then, going directly to Dragon Capital for a confrontation would be less favorable.

Additionally, the matter of the two Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands in Central Earth—Divine Sect Mansion and Dragon Capital Underground Palace—would soon spread throughout the Blood Domain, even though the Lin Family controlled Dragon and Snake Island, blocking the news there. They couldn’t keep it hidden for long.

Therefore, they needed to focus on excavating the treasures inside the Divine Sect Mansion and temporarily set aside dealing with Jiang Feng.

If it weren’t for Lian Junmiao coming over to inform them, making them aware that Jiang Feng had already prepared an ambush, maybe by now they would have entered the Divine Sect Mansion.

This was truly a case of aiming high but losing your footing.

"If we can complete the Seven-Star Sword Technique, we can definitely kill Jiang Feng and obtain the Dragon Bone Bow, Qinglong Cauldron, and the treasures in the Underground Palace."

Blood Sea Immortal Venerable said, looking at the three elders.

The three elders exchanged glances, understanding the implication in Blood Sea Immortal Venerable’s words.

The eldest elder sighed and said, "Let’s wait for a few days, once we recover some vitality, you can practice the Seven-Star Sword Technique with us."

"Thank you, Fifth Grandpa, Zhensong will not disappoint you."

Blood Sea Immortal Venerable said excitedly.

The Seven-Star Sword Technique is a secret Lin Family skill, only inheritants can practice it. He was expelled from the Lin Family for attempting to steal the Sword Manual; had it not been for the merits of his ancestors, he would have been branded a spy and executed back then.

"Let’s return to the Divine Sect!"

Fifth Grandpa nodded.

"Alright, huh, Fifth Grandpa your eyes."

Blood Sea Immortal Venerable wanted to crawl over and carry the three old men back, suddenly seeing Fifth Grandpa’s eyes overflowing with fresh blood.

"Ah, Uncle Qi!"

Then he noticed Uncle Qi, known for his bad temper, had blood bursting from the top of his head, turning into a blood-soaked man.

"Ahhhh, it hurts..."

The elder who spoke least had blood lines appearing on his body, growing denser, wrapping him like a blood web. The endless pain sprouted from his flesh, as if countless Soul-Devouring Ants were gnawing at him.

"Curse Killing Divine Skill!"

"It’s Jiang Feng!"

The eldest elder woke up in shock, began cultivating to resist, seeing the sky full of blood light enveloping the entire world, everything his vision and Spiritual Sense could see was blood red, everywhere was blood plasma, blood arrows shooting from the blood plasma directly at his vital points.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Help us quickly!"

"Lin Zhensong, stop Jiang Feng!"

"If we die, you won’t get the Seven-Star Sword Technique!"

The three tried to escape the blood plasma, breaking through the curse power, but the agony was so severe they couldn’t muster the strength to resist, their cries growing louder.

"I... Nephew doesn’t know how to handle this?"

Blood Sea Immortal Venerable looked pale, backing away first instead of rescuing.

Others did the same.

All were afraid of being touched by the blood plasma, swallowed by the Curse Killing Divine Skill.

The condition of the three elders gave them chills.

Thus, the figures of the three slowly dissolved in the blood plasma, like mud men dissolving and disintegrating in water, their screams weakening.

Eventually, the bloody smell pervaded the surroundings.

The ground covered in blood plasma was riddled with holes, showing signs of corrosion like a honeycomb.

"Fifth Grandpa, Uncle Qi..."

Blood Sea Immortal Venerable stood frozen.

These three old men were the strongest among the Lin Family Cultivators he brought back. And they just died like this.

"This seems like the Blood God Curse."

"Mo Changlin used it before."

A Loose Cultivator in the crowd said.

Back when Cyan Snake King attacked Divine Sect together with them, some had seen Mo Changlin use this kind of magic, but the power wasn’t as strong as today.

"With Curse Killing Divine Skills like the Blood God Curse, post-casting enters a period of weakness or even backlash. If Jiang Feng used the Blood God Curse, we could take advantage."

A knowledgeable Central Earth Loose Cultivator, resembling Lian Junmiao who pledged allegiance to Blood Sea Immortal Venerable, suggested.
