"Greed is a bottomless pit!" Song Wen flatly rejected Mi He's request. "Daoist Mi He, your appetite is too big. You'll choke on it."
Mi He pondered for a moment before proactively lowering her conditions.
"Ten percent."
As if fearing Song Wen and his companions might still refuse, she added, "Just give me ten percent of Blood Sui's flesh and blood. I'll personally lead people to seal off every major and minor earth vein near the Beastmaster Sect, ensuring none are missed. Furthermore, the entire Beastmaster Sect, from top to bottom, will fully cooperate with you in slaying Blood Sui. I'll also hand over the Formation Flag and Array Disk of the Blood Shadow Formless Formation, which should prove useful in dealing with Blood Sui."
Hearing this, Song Wen turned to Lan Chen and Mo Yexue, his eyes conveying a question.
If Mi He took ten percent of Blood Sui's flesh and blood, the remaining ninety percent would be divided among the three of them. This would leave Song Wen with thirty percent.
According to Xu Geng, Song Wen required less Mystic Qi than other cultivators. Thirty percent of Blood Sui's flesh and blood would be more than enough for him to smoothly achieve Divine Transformation.
Therefore, Song Wen didn't object to Mi He's terms.
Lan Chen and Mo Yexue exchanged glances and finally nodded.
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Mi He, we accept your terms," Mo Yexue said.
With the conditions agreed upon, Mi He was straightforward. She immediately opened the mountain gate, allowing Song Wen and the others to enter the Beastmaster Sect.
"Let's go! Let's see Blood Sui," Lan Chen said, her voice filled with anticipation.
Under Mi He's guidance, the four of them flew toward Sui Peak, deep within the Beastmaster Sect.
The sect's many disciples, witnessing this scene, were overjoyed and rushed to spread the news.
Soon, the four of them passed through the Mist and arrived before Sui Peak.
"Blood Sui lies beneath this mountain," Mi He warned. "Though it is currently in slumber, do not rashly use your Spirit Sense to probe it. Doing so could very well awaken it."
To avoid disturbing Blood Sui, she used spiritual sense transmission.
Sui Peak was barren, with nothing to see except for a deep cave at its summit and eighteen side caves scattered around its base. It was truly unremarkable.
Lan Chen and Mo Yexue, who had been eager to catch a glimpse of the Fallen Immortal Blood, immediately lost interest.
"If we were to set up defensive Formations in all nineteen caves, we might be able to drain a significant amount of Blood Sui's Spiritual Qi," Mo Yexue transmitted.
"That won't work," Mi He said, rejecting Mo Yexue's suggestion. "The bewildering formation shrouding Blood Sui conceals the Blood Shadow Formless Formation, preventing Blood Sui from detecting any movement outside the formation. Within the formation's range, any fluctuation in Spiritual Qi or sound could awaken Blood Sui. If we want to set up a Formation, it must be done outside the bewildering formation."
Lan Chen said, "In that case, let's stick to the original plan and set up the Primordial Dragon-Trapping Array outside the bewildering formation."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze toward Mi He.
"Daoist Mi He, the Three Great Sects have already gathered the materials needed for three sets of the Primordial Dragon-Trapping Array. However, we have a surplus of materials, unfortunately not enough to complete another full set. Perhaps your Beastmaster Sect could contribute? Setting up an additional array would increase our chances of victory."
After Song Wen, Lan Chen, and Mo Yexue discussed the matter, they ultimately decided against Song Wen's earlier proposal of setting up dozens or even hundreds of Formations.
After all, in the face of absolute power, numbers could not compensate for the vast disparity in strength.
The Primordial Dragon-Trapping Array was the result of their careful selection from the numerous Formations of the He Huan Sect and the Profound Heaven Sword Sect—the most suitable array for dealing with Blood Sui.
Four months later.
The bustling Beastmaster Sect had become eerily deserted.
The sect's protective array had long been deactivated, leaving the entire compound open and completely undefended.
The Spirit Herbs in the Spirit Fields, the Spirit Beasts in the Spirit Beast pens, the disciples on each peak... all had vanished without a trace.
The entire sect seemed to have been emptied.
Suddenly, the Spiritual Qi in the surroundings began to churn violently.
As the Spiritual Qi spread outward in all directions, the concentration within the Beastmaster Sect's territory rapidly diminished.
"Whoosh... whoosh..."
A piercing sound of air tearing through the air echoed from within Sui Peak.
Then, tentacles suddenly erupted from the mountain, thrashing wildly in the sky.
One of these tentacles stretched upward, piercing through the white mist that shrouded the peak.
In an instant, the mist gradually thinned, eventually dissipating completely.
The terrifying form of Blood Sui was revealed to the world.
Fifty miles away, on Ten Thousand Beasts Peak of the Beastmaster Sect, Song Wen, Lan Chen, and Mo Yexue stood on a plaza at the summit, gazing at the writhing Blood Sui.
Nearly a hundred Golden Core cultivators stood behind them, most of them wearing expressions of shock, with a hint of fear in some eyes.
"Don't panic," Song Wen said. "This mountain is protected by the Blood Shadow Formless Formation. Blood Sui can't sense us."
At the same time, his gaze swept over Lan Chen and Mo Yexue, who were staring at Blood Sui with renewed vigor.
"Immortal Maiden Lan Chen, Fellow Daoist Mo, let's move!"
Hearing this, the two women turned their attention away from Blood Sui and instructed their disciples to begin setting up the Formation.
Yan Yuyan of the Profound Heaven Sword Sect was in charge of overseeing the Formation.
The He Huan Sect's representative was a female cultivator named Li Yue, who had reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
The Golden Core cultivators from both sects surrounded Yan Yuyan and Li Yue.
Each cultivator had a palm-sized Array Disk floating before them.
As they chanted the Array Seals, the Array Disks began to glow with golden light.
The golden light intensified, coalescing into golden pillars that shot upwards toward Lan Chen and Mo Yexue.
Above each woman's head floated a ten-foot-tall Array Disk.
As the golden pillars struck these larger Array Disks, they too began to glow with golden light.
Yan Yuyan and Li Yue's fingers danced in the air, leaving trails of afterimages.
Simultaneously, they both cried out, "Activate the Formation!"
In an instant, both ten-foot-tall Array Disks unleashed golden beams that shot toward the east and west sides of Sui Peak.
On both the east and west sides of Sui Peak, about fifteen or sixteen li away, two Formations were activated.
Within the Formations, golden light blazed intensely, and golden chains shot out rapidly.
Each Formation had nine chains.
In total, eighteen chains—precisely matching Blood Sui's eighteen tentacles.
Each chain coiled towards a tentacle.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as anticipated.
Just as the chains were about to reach the tentacles, all eighteen tentacles swung violently, lashing out at the chains with thunderous force.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Deafening explosions echoed in succession as all eighteen chains shattered one by one, dissolving into golden motes that drifted through the air.
The eighteen tentacles swung like eighteen massive pillars of flesh, crashing down towards the two Formations on the ground.
Suddenly, two golden shields flared to life, enveloping the Formations within their protective embrace.
The tentacles slammed against the shields, producing ear-splitting roars that shook even the earth itself.
Under the relentless assault of the tentacles, the golden shields swayed violently, like candles flickering in a raging storm, threatening to extinguish at any moment.
