In fact, the reason the young man attached so much importance to the black giant python was not because he had any affection for it, but because he planned to enhance his cultivation by absorbing the Blood Evil Qi in the python's blood.

"Wu Wenhua waking us up in the middle of the night and then commanding us to find people for him is just too much!"

Below the Blood Killing Sect mountain, two Inner Sect Disciples, seeing that there were no other people around, gathered to discuss.

"That's just how it is with an official's son! He's also searching with us, so just drop it! You must never speak ill of him again in the future! Walls have ears!"

Another Inner Sect Disciple carefully replied.

"I know, I only dare to speak the truth in front of you!"

Another Inner Sect Disciple hastily responded.

Although they were deeply dissatisfied inside, they had no choice but to obey Wu Wenhua's commands.

Wu Wenhua was that young man.

At this time, he was pacing below the mountain with a gloomy face.

He had been feeding the black giant python for over ten years, pouring a great deal of effort and financial sacrifice into it.

The amount of money he had spent on that black giant python was equivalent to the expenses of a hundred Inner Sect Disciples for three years.

He had planned to pick a good day to kill the python, then absorb all of its blood, refining the Blood Evil Qi within to help him break through to the Martial Sect Realm.

His current cultivation had already reached the Third Level of Martial Master, and he was just a few steps away from a breakthrough.

He had thought he would break through to Martial Sect, and then he would become the focus of all the Inner Sect Disciples.

However, he did not expect that, at the crucial moment, the black giant python would be slain by someone.

"I'm not going to let that Outer Disciple off; I'll skin him alive!"

Wu Wenhua's lungs were about to explode with anger; however, after searching for several hours around the base of the Blood Killing Sect mountain, they discovered nothing.

Left with no alternative, he ordered others to disperse and search for the Outer Disciple.

Many of the Inner Sect Disciples present were completely clueless. They had no idea what kind of Outer Disciple Wu Wenhua was looking for, so they ran around the base of the Blood Killing Sect mountain like headless flies.

They knew that even if they couldn't complete the mission, they at least had to pretend to be earnestly carrying out the task assigned by Wu Wenhua.

It was just getting light out.

After Duan Gujin had treated the squirrel, he was racing with it towards the Blood Killing Sect Outer Disciples' living quarters.

On the way, he encountered Wu Wenhua head-on.

Wu Wenhua, seeing a Blood Killing Sect Disciple approach, wanted to ask the Outer Disciple.

When he saw Duan Gujin carrying a wholly white squirrel behind his back, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The image of the tiny white-furred beast he had seen before on the Transmission Talisman flashed through his mind—it must be that squirrel.

His enemy was right in front!

The Outer Disciple in front of him had killed his black giant python.

Thinking of this, a Killing Aura burst forth from Wu Wenhua as he locked his Divine Sense onto Duan Gujin and transformed into a streak of light, rushing swiftly towards him.

Duan Gujin didn't expect that the person appearing before him would release a Killing Aura, and even charge toward him.

Although he didn't know why the other person wanted to kill him, he could not just stand there defenselessly, asking why he was being targeted.

"Could it be that this young man is intentionally robbing and killing here?"

Wu Wenhua's body shot towards Duan Gujin like a released arrow; almost at the same time, a Longsword appeared in his palm.

His Primordial Power erupted in an instant, and he channeled the burst of Primordial Power into the Longsword, rushing rapidly towards Duan Gujin.

When he was less than three meters away from Duan Gujin, he instantly transformed the Longsword in his hand into numerous sword flowers, swiftly launching countless Sword Qi at Duan Gujin.

Shoo shoo shoo!

"Die!"

Wu Wenhua bellowed, and his aura erupted once again.

"The one to die is you!"

Duan Gujin had already seen through the fact that the Inner Sect Disciple in front was at the Third Level of Martial Master, and he noticed that although the Martial Artist's sword moves were deadly, there were many flaws.

Most importantly, Duan Gujin's Divine Sense Inspection detected that the young man's Primordial Power was not pure, likely having been boosted by Medicinal Power.

He immediately understood that the Inner Sect Disciple before him must be one of those Martial Artists who relied on various Elixir Pills to improve their Cultivation.

He quickly realized that the young man's identity was probably not simple.

But whatever his identity was, Duan Gujin had no interest in finding out.

Since the other party attacked him unprovoked, he naturally had to counterattack.

Duan Gujin pulled a Longsword from his storage ring, channeling Primordial Power into it to solidify the blade.

From the faint glow emitted by the young man's longsword, he deduced that the weapon in his hand must be a Low Grade Earth-level Dark Weapon.

Judging by the grade of the Dark Weapon the opponent wielded, he concluded that this young man must be either an official's son or a rich second generation from the higher ranks of the Blood Slaughter Sect.

He was aware that within the Blood Slaughter Sect, not every Inner Sect Disciple had access to a Low Grade Earth-level Dark Weapon.

Outer Disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect commonly possessed, at most, High Grade Earth-level Dark Weapons.

Whereas Inner Sect Disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect commonly possessed, at most, Middle-level Dark-level Dark Weapons.

Among those Inner Sect Disciples, under normal circumstances, only those Demon Level geniuses would have an Upper-level Dark-level or higher Dark Weapon.

Yet the young man he was currently facing resorted to using a Low Grade Earth-level Dark Weapon right from the start, and moreover, the opponent's Cultivation was not high, and the Primordial Power inside his body was still not refined.

There was only one plausible explanation for why this young man possessed such a high-level Dark Weapon.

Either he was an official's son, or he was a rich second generation.

Duan Gujin let out a breath; he saw through the flaws in Wu Wenhua's sword moves. Step by step, he charged forward, blocking the violent offensive Skills of the opponent.

"How could this be? How is the strength of this Outer Disciple the same as mine?"

After trading blows with Duan Gujin for more than ten rounds, Wu Wenhua was shocked.

Initially, he thought Duan Gujin was just an Outer Disciple, and the opponent's Cultivation should not be very high.

But after their exchange, he found that, despite wielding a Low Grade Earth-level Dark Weapon, he didn't gain much advantage. He was, in fact, only managing to fight to a draw with the opponent.

"It looks like this Outer Disciple is faking it!"

He exhaled sharply and quickly took out an Elixir Pill from his storage ring and swallowed it down.

The Elixir Pill he just consumed was called Blood Slaughter Demon Pill, a type of pill that only Inner Sect Disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect could have access to.

After taking this pill, a disciple of the Blood Slaughter Sect could rapidly enhance their Combat Power to twice their original strength within a hundred breaths time.

However, after consuming this Elixir Pill, despite the Combat Power increasing to twice for a hundred breaths, one must pay the price of not being able to circulate Primordial Power for a month afterward.

This type of Blood Slaughter Demon Pill had a strong negative effect and was classified as a forbidden pill within the Blood Slaughter Sect.

The reason Wu Wenhua resorted to taking the Blood Slaughter Demon Pill was that he realized the opponent's strength matched his own, and seeing the opponent's expression looking quite relaxed, he became very unsettled.

In the past, Wu Wenhua could defeat many Inner Sect Disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect, not because of his great strength, but because he had the backing of his father from the Punishment Hall.

That's why the other Inner Sect Disciples let him win.

Today, after fighting Duan Gu for several dozen rounds, he realized he was actually falling behind.

He immediately panicked, gritted his teeth, and took out the forbidden Blood Slaughter Demon Pill from his storage ring.

At this moment, Duan Gujin was unaware that there existed such a forbidden pill like the Blood Slaughter Demon Pill within the Blood Slaughter Sect. He sensed the young man's aura suddenly burst forth, and his Combat Power seemed to have doubled instantaneously. His brow furrowed, and his mind raced.

"It seems I must end this battle quickly!"

Duan Gujin roared, and the Primordial Power within his body erupted to its maximum.

His body moved like lightning, and his longsword closely followed, sticking to Wu Wenhua.

Although Wu Wenhua's Combat Power had increased by twice, his sword moves were full of flaws, and Duan Gujin found an opportunity, striking with his sword to sever the opponent's right palm.

"Ah!"

Seeing his right palm severed, Wu Wenhua let out a piercing scream.

He hastily covered the severed part of his right hand with his left, preventing further bleeding.

Seeing the opponent still advancing towards him, Wu Wenhua's body flashed as he rapidly retreated backward.

Having defeated the opponent, Duan Gujin then demanded, "Who exactly are you? Why do you want to kill me?"

"You killed my pet, I won't let you go! I will kill your whole family, I will tear your body into ten thousand pieces!"

Wu Wenhua shouted loudly.

Hearing such venomous words, Duan Gujin snorted coldly inside, knowing he absolutely couldn't let the poisonous snake in front of him off easily.

"So you are that poisonous snake's owner, my apologies!"

Duan Gujin said so, but his attack moves didn't slow down.

He knew, he absolutely couldn't let the young man return to the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Once the opponent returned to the Blood Slaughter Sect, he would definitely unleash a frenzied revenge on him.

"My father is the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, you're dead meat!"

Wu Wenhua threatened loudly.

Hearing the opponent's threatening words, Duan Gujin knew he had no choice today.

"You're the one who's going to die!"

He had been hesitant about whether to kill the Blood Slaughter Sect Inner Disciple, but after hearing the opponent's words, Duan Gujin knew he absolutely couldn't let him go.
