Wang Ruoxie naturally could see that the Su Mansion must be the source of the Blood Fiend aura.

This means that the reason why the entire Nanyang County City has turned into a ghost town should also be related to the Su Mansion.

Without hesitation, Wang Ruoxie directly lifted his footstep and walked into the Su Mansion.

What shocked him was that as he entered, the blood cloud above the Su Mansion swiftly contracted and eventually sank into the depths of the Su Mansion, completely disappearing.

Moreover, the Blood Fiend aura that pervaded the space also dissipated as a result.

Moments later, Wang Ruoxie arrived at the main hall of the Su Mansion, the place where the blood cloud had just vanished.

"This is..."

Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed slightly, seeing that in the very center of the hall stood a gigantic ancient altar, covered with blood-colored patterns.

He realized this altar seemed almost identical to the one he encountered in the Underground Blood Cave in Sand City upon joining the Celestial Sword Sect.

And the altar in the Underground Blood Cave was linked to the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect, connected to Lv Hua, a core disciple of the Blood Demon Sect.

"Blood Demon Sect."

A gleam of sharpness flashed through Wang Ruoxie's eyes; it was evident that the anomaly in Nanyang County City was related to the Blood Demon Sect, a once dominant force in the Eastern Domain.

He could even be certain that the transformation of Nanyang County City into a ghost town implied the resurgence of the Blood Demon Sect, and that the catastrophe in the Eastern Domain might soon be repeated.

The name "Blood Demon Sect" was a taboo across the Eastern Domain.

Hundreds of years ago, if it weren't for a peerless expert who annihilated the Blood Demon Sect, wiping out all their top-tier experts, the entire Eastern Domain might have become a wasteland.

Wang Ruoxie suddenly remembered his encounter with Venerable Lan Yue in the Blue Blood Villa of Blue Moon Kingdom, who practiced Blood Refining Evil Technique, built the Pool of Myriad Bloods, attempting to forge the Blood Demon Body to reverse life and death.

"It seems Venerable Lan Yue must have a significant connection with the Blood Demon Sect."

Wang Ruoxie's brows furrowed slightly as he pondered inwardly.

He even speculated that Blood Refining Evil Technique must be the cultivation method passed down from the Blood Demon Sect.

If that's truly the case, then the entire Eastern Domain is likely about to face a catastrophe that could overturn heaven and earth.

After searching around the Su Mansion, Wang Ruoxie did not see any trace of a living soul. Immediately, he soared into the air and sped towards the direction of the East Victory Kingdom.

The entire population of millions in Nanyang County City had vanished without a trace, and the vast ancient city transformed into a ghost town, coupled with the resurgence of the Blood Demon Sect, leaving Wang Ruoxie with a feeling of foreboding.

Thus, he decided not to delay and planned to quickly return to the East Victory Kingdom.

As for the safety of Su Qiuling, Su Qingxue, and others, Wang Ruoxie wasn't overly worried, as he believed that Su Qiuling, possessing the Cursed Body and having cultivated the Celestial Curse Technique, certainly had enough strength to protect herself.

As for the other people of Nanyang County City, even if he wanted to save them, he was powerless.

Moreover, he had no idea where these people went, or if they were already killed by the Blood Demon Sect.

Ten days quickly passed, and at this moment, Wang Ruoxie had returned to the East Victory Kingdom.

In Southern Prefecture City, inside a tavern.

Wang Ruoxie casually chose an empty table, ordered some simple wine and dishes, drinking and listening to the conversations around him.

On his way back, he noticed that in many cities across various kingdoms, similar to Nanyang County City, they had turned into ghost towns.

The same was true for the East Victory Kingdom; at least in more than a dozen cities, all the inhabitants disappeared without a trace, completely turning into ghost towns.

This made Wang Ruoxie more certain that the Blood Demon Sect had indeed returned.

If no one stops them, it wouldn't take long before the entire East Victory Kingdom, even the entire Eastern Domain, might become a true wasteland.

Although Wang Ruoxie wasn't a Saint, and he had killed many people, he was ready to oppose the Blood Demon Sect.

He's determined not for the sake of saving the nation or being a hero but because he doesn't want his mother, Fu'Er, and his close friends to be placed in danger.

Family and friends are his bottom line, and to protect their safety, he fears no danger.

"Alas, it seems our East Victory Kingdom is about to be doomed. It's said over a dozen cities were attacked by the Blood Demon Sect; except for a few who escaped, the others were all captured by the Blood Demon Sect."

"It's not just our East Victory Kingdom; as far as I know, almost all kingdoms have been invaded by the Blood Demon Sect."

"Unexpectedly, the Blood Demon Sect, disappeared for hundreds of years, has reappeared, and once it emerged, it swept across the entire Eastern Domain, nearly unmatched."

"I also heard that the Sovereign was seriously injured by an Elder of the Blood Demon Sect not long ago, and he probably won't last longer."

"It's terrifying. Even the Sovereign who had broken through to the Ninth Layer of Essence Pill Realm isn't a match for the Blood Demon Sect Elder, so isn't our East Victory Kingdom on the brink of demise?"

"Escape while the Blood Demon Sect hasn't reached our Southern Prefecture, escape as far as possible, and it's best to leave the Eastern Domain; heading to the Central Domain's Great Yu Imperial Dynasty might be our only chance for survival."

Many people whispered in terror.

Hearing these discussions, Wang Ruoxie's brows involuntarily furrowed; it seemed the Blood Demon Sect was indeed menacing.

Moreover, even the Sovereign Tang Xuanyi, who possessed the Ninth Layer of Essence Pill Realm cultivation, was severely injured by a Blood Demon Sect Elder, indicating the sect's strength had reached an extremely formidable level.

Note that Tang Xuanyi, as a sovereign, his prowess was far beyond typical Ninth Layer Essence Pill Realm martial cultivators. If he used the nation's fortune and Emperor Dao Divine Techniques, even early-stage Acupoint Condensation Realm martial cultivators couldn't compete.

This means that the Blood Demon Sect Elder who injured Tang Xuanyi likely reached the level of early-stage Acupoint Condensation Realm.

If that's truly the case, then even the strongest kingdom among the Sixteen Kingdoms, Black Luo Kingdom, might struggle to fend off the Blood Demon Sect's invasion.

"I wonder how things are currently going at the Celestial Sword Sect?"

Wang Ruoxie thought to himself and decided to return home to settle his mother before heading to the Celestial Sword Sect.

Immediately, he no longer delayed, exited the tavern, and rushed towards Wuyi County.

Half a day later, Wang Ruoxie returned to Wuyi County.

Perhaps feeling a sense of trepidation returning home, upon entering Wuyi County City, he involuntarily slowed his steps considerably.

Having been away from home for over four years, he felt a sense of change and unfamiliarity upon return.

Shaking his head to clear his mind, Wang Ruoxie quickened his pace towards the Wang Family Mansion.

At this moment, the Wang Family was in a state of disarray, with severed limbs scattered everywhere.

An overwhelmingly pungent smell of blood filled the space, making one's heart shudder upon smelling it.

"Looks like the Wang Family is finished, daring to provoke the Royal Family's retaliation."

"They brought it on themselves, can't blame others. That Wang Ruoxie even dared to kill the Second Prince; if it weren't for the Celestial Sword Sect and the Seventh Princess continuously protecting them, the Wang Family would've been flattened by the Royal Army already."

Many people gathered outside the Wang Family Mansion, whispering.
