Sun Jian turned around and looked at Zhang Chen's cave abode before muttering fiercely, "I don't believe this kid can resist temptation!"
Zhang Chen did not think too much about it. He assumed that Sun Jian wanted to use him to get close to Li Mumin.
Unconsciously, it was time for the sect assessment again, and the atmosphere within the Blood God Sect became oppressive and tense.
Zhang Chen rarely went out, and with his cultivation already surpassing the requirements for the assessment, he didn't need to worry about anything.
The only thing he was thinking about was whether Patriarch Black Blood really intended to use the outer sect disciples as blood sacrifices.
"Senior Brother Sun, is what you said true?"
"Of course it's true. As long as you can charm that Zhang Chen, I'll give you some blood essence."
"Senior Brother, don't worry. I'm experienced in this aspect."
"Remember, you're my adopted sister now. Don't let anything slip."
"Got it, got it."
At the foot of the mountain, Sun Jian led a seductive and attractive woman towards the mountaintop.
"Junior Brother Zhang, are you there?"
Inside his cave, Zhang Chen's face darkened.
Sun Jian had disturbed him several times already, and he was beginning to get fed up with him.
When he had visited before, Sun Jian had ignored him, and now he suddenly became overly enthusiastic. It was obvious that he had ulterior motives.
If it was just a normal friendship, Zhang Chen wouldn't refuse, but Sun Jian clearly had a motive.
Zhang Chen stood up and prepared to go out to casually deal with him and tell him not to come back again.
Outside the cave, Zhang Chen saw not only Sun Jian, but also a woman who looked like a prostitute with a seductive air about her.
The woman's clothes slid down her shoulders, half-revealing her cleavage, and her dress was torn, revealing her long legs.
She was also throwing him seductive glances and showing off her tempting appearance.
When Sun Jian saw Zhang Chen looking at the woman, he couldn't help but smile. "I don't believe that any hot-blooded young man can resist the temptation of beauty."
"Junior Brother Zhang, this is my adopted sister. You said that you didn't have time, so I brought her here. So, how is she? Beautiful, isn't she?"
"I'm Yang Xuanxuan. Greetings, Senior Brother Zhang."
The woman bowed to Zhang Chen, and from his perspective, he could see her ample cleavage.
"Ahem, ahem." Zhang Chen coughed awkwardly twice. "Junior Sister Yang is indeed beautiful."
"Senior Brother Zhang, you can call me Xuanxuan from now on." Yang Xuanxuan's charming eyes kept sizing up Zhang Chen, curious as to why Sun Jian would spend his blood essence on her to seduce Zhang Chen.
"However, Zhang Chen is quite handsome. He's already at the seventh level of Qi Refinement at such a young age. Even if I give my body, I won't lose out."
At the thought of this, Yang Xuanxuan couldn't help feeling a little hot.
Why doesn't this despicable person treat me the same way?
Seeing the look of longing in Yang Xiaoxuan's eyes, Sun Jian felt a bit jealous and unhappy, but he still smiled and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, my younger sister admires you very much and has a lot to say to you. Why don't you two go inside the cave and talk? I won't disturb you."
After saying that, Sun Jian was secretly pleased with himself. A man and a woman alone. I don't believe you can resist. This kind of thing only happens once or countless times. Once you take the bait, I'll have control.
Yang Xuanxuan next to him cooperated fully as she looked at Zhang Chen with admiration and anticipation.
Zhang Chen, who had lived two lives, naturally would not fall for her easily. Moreover, a woman like Yang Xuanxuan was not his type.
Not to mention, Sun Jian had a very strong sense of purpose, making him wary and unhappy. He did not want to interact too much with him.
"I'm preparing to complete a sect mission in the near future and I need to practice my techniques diligently. This is a matter of life and death, so I dare not be careless. Please excuse me, both of you." Zhang Chen turned around and entered the cave on his own.
The blood essence in her hands was gone just like that, making Yang Xuanxuan a little anxious. "Are you still a man!" she exclaimed.
Sun Jian's expression was unpleasant as he gritted his teeth.
Zhang Chen turned a deaf ear to them.
"Senior Brother Sun, what should I do now? You can't let me come here for nothing, right?" Yang Xiaoxuan looked at Sun Jian unwillingly.
Sun Jian's face became gloomy, but he thought of something and looked at Yang Xiaoxuan with a lecherous smile. "He's not a man, but I am!
"Go to my cave."
"Okay, but the price has to be raised." Yang Xuanxuan covered her mouth and chuckled.
"As long as I'm comfortable, everything's negotiable." Sun Jian hugged Yang Xuanxuan and walked towards his cave abode.
A few days later.
"Dong, dong, dong…"
A muffled and heavy bell rang, announcing the notice of the sect assessment.
Zhang Chen arrived at the square with a calm expression. The last time he was here, he was an outer sect disciple, but now he was an inner sect disciple.
The outer sect disciples made way for Zhang Chen.
Faced with the assessment that would determine life and death, everyone's expressions were different, ranging from fear to pride and confidence.
After a while, several direct disciples flew in from a distance. They looked down on the crowd with a gaze similar to that of looking at food.
Suddenly, a foul smell filled the air, and a spring of blood erupted from the ground, continuously gushing out fresh blood.
Strangely enough, the blood that spurted out was as black as ink, emitting an unbearable stench, like coagulated corpse blood.
At the sight of the black blood, a figure came to Zhang Chen's mind, the Golden Core Elder of the Blood God Sect, Patriarch Black Blood.
Li Mumin had said that Patriarch Black Blood wanted to use the blood of outer sect disciples to forcibly improve his grandson's aptitude.
If the one who came was really Patriarch Black Blood, then the outer sect disciples present today…
Zhang Chen glanced at the nervous outer sect disciples and couldn't help but feel a little pity.
The blood spring seemed to be infinite and never dried up, continuously gushing out fresh blood.
In just a moment, black corpse blood covered the entire square.
Feeling the stickiness under his feet, Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After a while, a figure covered in corpse spots slowly emerged from the blood spring.
"Welcome, Elder Black Blood!" The direct disciples bowed respectfully.
It was indeed Patriarch Black Blood!
Zhang Chen's heart tightened, and he followed the others in bowing respectfully: "Welcome, Elder Black Blood!"
"The assessment begins." Patriarch Black Blood's voice was dry and hoarse, devoid of any emotion.
"Elder's decree."
After the direct disciples finished bowing, they began the assessment process. "Those who have been in the sect for three years, stand in front of me."
"Those who have been in the sect…"
After arranging themselves in groups, the direct disciples spoke again, "Take out your identity tokens and infuse them with spiritual power."
Everyone took out their identity tokens and infused them with spiritual power, displaying their identity information.
However, this time, the direct disciples did not drain the spiritual power of those who did not meet the standards.
"Waa~ waa~ waa~ waa…"
A baby's crying suddenly sounded in the square.
Where did the sect get a baby from?
Everyone was puzzled and looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
Two figures had appeared beside the black-blooded old man.
It was a man and a woman. They were both wearing direct disciple attire and carrying a baby.
Many disciples were puzzled, not knowing what was going on.
Only Zhang Chen knew that this was the beginning of a blood sacrifice.
The baby was naturally the grandson of Patriarch Black Blood, and the man and woman holding the baby were likely the parents.
"Dad, can we start the blood sacrifice?" the man asked Patriarch Black Blood.
Patriarch Black Blood nodded as he waved his hand.
