Chapter 196 134. Demon Luo Heavenly Authority, Young Blood Demon_2
But now he had neither the time nor the energy, ever since he was rescued by that young lady from Heavenly Sword Mansion and woke up in the Autumn Mansion, his only thought of survival was to seek revenge and settle his grudges!
And now that he already possessed the strength to take revenge, how could he delay any longer?

Black Heart Mountain.
At this moment, the cultivators who had come to attend the Sword Ceremony had not yet left. Several blood shadow incarnations, resembling Tan Shuchang by seventy to eighty percent, stood in various places on Black Heart Mountain, gathering the content of ancient texts from the mouths of these cultivators.
Undoubtedly, Tan Shuchang's blood shadow incarnation divine skill also greatly frightened the cultivators who came to participate in the Sword Ceremony.
This was because these blood shadow incarnations all exuded a powerful demonic aura.
Facing these blood shadow incarnations, whether they were cultivators from the Immortal Sects or loose cultivators, all felt as if they were confronting a century's worth of cultivator's essence.
And for Tan Shuchang to multitask to such a degree without disturbance to himself, this was the marvelous aspect of the blood shadow incarnations; they were all subordinate to him, yet capable of independent thought while acting.
Unfortunately, these blood shadow incarnations did not have the ability to sense his unique traits, so all they could do was to record the ancient texts spoken by others.
After three days passed in this way, the cultivators who had come, some representing powers and some representing themselves, had each spoken of at least three ancient texts.
"Thank you, fellow daoists!"
Tan Shuchang did not rush to recall these blood shadow incarnations. He stepped onto the clouds and thanked the many cultivators. But at the same time, he also made a rare breach of etiquette.
Because he had another role to play.
"The Demon Lord is too kind!"
"It is our duty! We dare not take a word of thanks from the Demon Lord!"
The cultivators hastily responded, and for a time, Black Heart Mountain was abuzz with noise, as nearly ten thousand cultivators—both loose cultivators and those from the Immortal Sects—had come to attend the Sword Ceremony.
More than a hundred thousand cultivators had come from all over the Jiawu Realm, but not all amongst these many cultivators could ascend Black Heart Mountain.
Nonetheless, even so, the number of cultivators on Black Heart Mountain, at this moment, was impressive to behold.
Seeing this, Tan Shuchang fiddled with the recording magic artifact that had been hanging at his waist and said, "Such a grand event should have been properly recorded by Tan Someone, but the One Qi Yin Yang Lotus Treasure Vase and the Vajra Mingwang Bracelet are indeed among the rare spirit-connected treasures of the world.
Even being slightly affected, this recording magic artifact was damaged, so this Sword Ceremony will end here. Fellow daoists, please feel free to leave!"
"No need for that, although it was damaged in some places by the residual power of the Yin Shadow Lotus Treasure Vase and the Vajra Mingwang Bracelet, the recording function of this Magic Artifact is still working. I just happen to want to learn Artifact Refining, so I'll use this record-keeping Magic Artifact for practice." Tan Shuchang found a suitable reason for himself.
"I see, I have something to attend to back at Heavenly Sword Mansion, so I'll be leaving!" Upon hearing this, Dongdong quickly nodded her little head and said expressionlessly to Tan Shuchang.
"You go ahead then! Don't mention anything about the Secluded Spring Blood Demon to your parents, and don't tell anyone else either. Otherwise, if the news leaks, it might draw the attention of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon to your Heavenly Sword Mansion," Tan Shuchang said calmly.
"Got it!"
Dongdong agreed, waved her little hand, and then turned into a streak of Sword Qi that shot through the sky like piercing the heavens.
Watching her rough and unsightly Flight Escape Technique, Tan Shuchang couldn't help but shake his head.
Then, he raised his hand and let out most of the entries from his journal Magic Artifact. Releasing them all at once would make a splash but wouldn't last; it was better to release them in two phases.
...
Inside a luxurious mansion, there now lay bodies everywhere. Servants, the owner's family, and some guests who just happened to be there—all sprawled across the landscape.
Corpses were floating in the artificial mountain pond, their blood staining the waters red, others were hanging in the corridors, some swaying in the wind, and more were in bedrooms and studies, emitting a continuous stench of decay.
Among these bodies, a young man who looked like just another corpse, began to slowly get up after the sun had set.
He looked around the mansion, concluding that he must have killed everyone; otherwise, he wouldn't be the only one here now.
After all, he had been lying in this mansion for at least a day.
Without hurrying to leave, the young man first cleaned himself up before stepping out of the mansion.
Then he headed towards where people were more numerous.
Slowly, he made his way to a county town. With its extensive network of waterways, commerce thrived here, and accordingly, there were more Cultivators as well.
Many Cultivators congregated like Martial Artists, gathering together to eat, drink, and chat leisurely.
In the tavern that the young man entered, there were such Cultivators. And just as he sat down, he heard a few Cultivators discussing how the sword appreciation ceremony at Black Heart Mountain concluded, as well as the news about Tan Shuchang single-handedly suppressing two sentient treasures.
Upon hearing "Tan Someone," the young man became more attentive, but just as he intended to listen closely, the power of the Blood Demon surged back to life within him.
Then, the "young man" was gone, replaced by the Secluded Spring Blood Demon in the guise of a youth.
