Chapter 82: Trouble Resolved

Only Hong Longguang remained calm and asked, “What are the two conditions
Seventh Junior Brother mentioned?”
Zhang Chen said seriously, “The first condition is to share the matters of the Beast Garden with me. You should know that Wu Chang has been looking for trouble with me now. I will only have endless trouble in the Beast Garden.
“The second condition is to ostracize Wu Chang together and declare that you’re on my side.”
Everyone looked at each other in silence.
The first condition was not a problem at all, but the second condition would completely offend Wu Chang. Other than Hong Longguang, everyone else was worried.
After all, their cultivation levels were not as high as Wu Chang’s. They were afraid that they would be attacked by Wu Chang when they left the sect.
In the end, it was Hong Longguang who said, “I can warn Wu Chang not to attack you, but I want half of the 50 bowls of blood essence.”
“Then we’ll do as Eldest Senior Brother says.” Everyone nodded in agreement. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to get a share of the blood essence.
Zhang Chen smiled. “Senior Sister, Senior Brothers, why don’t you discuss the amount of blood essence you can exchange for now? Then, we’ll immediately complete today’s transaction.”
“Alright!” The few of them could not wait to start discussing.
Soon, there was an outcome of the discussion.
After deducting the 25 bowls of blood essence that Hong Longguang would obtain, Second Senior Sister would have 10 bowls, and the remaining three senior brothers would have 5 bowls each.
Zhang Chen took out the blood storage bottle containing the blood essence.
“According to the ratio we just agreed on, let’s start the exchange.”
Not long after, the transaction was completed. Hong Longguang and the others obtained the blood essence with satisfaction, and Zhang Chen also obtained the demon blood.
It was one thing to say it, but it was quite another to really obtain the blood essence. They could not help but smile.
“Then, I’ll take my leave. I’ll have to trouble Senior Brothers and Senior Sister with the affairs of the Beast Garden.” Zhang Chen stood up and bowed, preparing to leave.
“Junior Brother, don’t worry. Leave the Beast Garden to us.” Everyone became especially enthusiastic and hurriedly sent him off.
Zhang Chen smiled and turned into a blood light before leaving.
Looking at the distant blood light, Sixth Senior Brother Du Nanfeng sighed, “Fortunately, I didn’t offend Seventh Junior Brother previously. Otherwise, I would have lost this opportunity.”
“Hehe, it’s all thanks to Wu Chang. Otherwise, Seventh Junior Brother wouldn’t have traded with us.” Second Senior Sister’s smile was like a blooming flower, beautiful and moving.
“Seventh Junior Brother’s cultivation might reach the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm before us.”
“Then I have to curry favor with Seventh Junior Brother in the future.”
Everyone knew very well that Zhang Chen had taken out his blood essence to trade with them to rope them in.
However, who among the disciples of the Blood God Sect could resist the temptation of blood essence?
As for the origin of Zhang Chen’s blood essence, they were also envious and curious, but they did not show it.
Zhang Chen returned to the cave abode and began to cultivate in peace, working hard to increase his strength.
Now that the demon blood had exceeded his cultivation speed, he planned to build a blood pool and use the demon blood to nurture some Blood God Sons.
The speed at which demon blood was nurtured was slightly slower, but it could nurture many Blood God Sons at the same time. He only needed to replenish demon blood every once in a while. It was not troublesome.
He immediately dug out a huge pool in the cave abode and poured demon blood into it.
Instantly, the smell of blood filled the entire cave abode.
After the demon blood filled the pool, Zhang Chen sat cross-legged. The blood essence in his hand surged and condensed into a red meatball.
This was a blood seed!
“Plop!”
After throwing the blood seed into the blood pool, Zhang Chen did not rest and continued to condense the blood seed.
On the other side, Wu Chang had just returned from the Internal Affairs Hall and said confidently, “Zhang Chen, let’s see how you deal with the Internal Affairs Hall’s difficulties next!”
In order to persuade the Internal Affairs Hall to find trouble with Zhang Chen, he had paid a considerable price and owed them a favor.
“Is Third Junior Brother here?”
Hong Longguang? Why is he here?
Wu Chang walked out of the cave abode to welcome him. “Eldest Senior
Brother, what’s the matter?”
Hong Longguang had a calm expression. “Third Junior Brother, I’m here to tell you that Seventh Junior Brother is no longer involved in the affairs of the Beast Garden. Don’t cause trouble for the Beast Garden in the future.”
“Hahaha, I knew he wouldn’t last long.” Wu Chang laughed proudly and asked,
“When will I take over the affairs of the Beast Garden?”
Hong Longguang shook his head. “Although Seventh Junior Brother no longer participates in the affairs of the Beast Garden, the shares won’t change. Without Master’s orders, we won’t let you participate in the affairs of the Beast
Garden.”
Wu Chang’s eyes widened in disbelief. He confirmed, “Senior Sister and Junior
Brothers also agreed?”
“That’s right.” Hong Longguang nodded. “Also, I’m warning you, don’t think about attacking them. Otherwise, I won’t let you off.”
Wu Chang’s expression became incomparably ferocious. “You definitely won’t be helping Zhang Chen for no reason. He’s only at the first level of the Foundation Establishment realm. What benefits did he give you?”
“You don’t need to know that. Remember what I said, Third Junior Brother.” Hong Longguang lost his usual kindness and turned to leave.
Wu Chang’s face contorted in disbelief. “How could this be? I can’t do anything to a direct disciple who has just advanced!”
Although they were both at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm, there was still a difference in strength between people of the same realm.
Hong Longguang had been at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm for a hundred years. He was definitely not his match.
Wu Chang gritted his teeth and his gaze was fierce. “Three years. I’ll wait another three years. The sect mission in three years will be Zhang Chen’s death!
“As long as Zhang Chen dies, everything will still be mine!
“By the way, I have to find out what benefits Zhang Chen gave Hong Longguang and the others. They actually switched camps.
“Also, what kind of deal does he have with the Pill Pavilion to make Gu Pingshan intervene personally?”
Wu Chang narrowed his eyes. He had a feeling that Zhang Chen must have a secret!
However, before investigating Zhang Chen, he needed to go to the Internal Affairs Hall first. Now was not the time to fall out with Hong Longguang.
“Junior Brother Wu, why are you here again?” Shen Gengyuan from the Internal Affairs Hall was a little surprised.
“I’m sorry to disturb Senior Brother Shen, but something happened. I want to cancel the request I made to Senior Brother Shen,” Wu Chang said helplessly.
Shen Gengyuan said indifferently, “I can cancel it, but I won’t return the blood essence to you.”
Although Wu Chang’s body was in pain, he could only nod. “It’s all my fault. Even if Senior Brother Shen wants to return it, I won’t accept it.” “Junior Brother Wu, is there anything else?”
“No, I’ll take my leave. I won’t disturb Senior Brother Shen anymore.”
Shen Gengyuan knew that Wu Chang must have encountered a problem and that he had no choice but to compromise when he suddenly canceled the matter against Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen was something to be able to force a senior brother at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm to such a state. He was even more intrigued by Zhang Chen now.
Because they were afraid that others would snatch the business, Hong Longguang and the others kept Zhang Chen’s deal with the Pill Pavilion a secret.
This also caused Wu Chang to be unable to find any useful information after investigating for a long time.
As for Hong Longguang and Gu Pingshan, they wanted to investigate the source of Zhang Chen’s blood essence, but they were worried that they would be discovered and lose this long-term channel to obtain blood essence, so they did not make a move for a long time.
Time flew by, and a year passed.
In the cave abode that was filled with the smell of blood, the huge blood pool was especially eye-catching. Dozens of blood seeds that looked like tumors kept shrinking and floating in the blood pool, absorbing blood.
Not far from the blood pool, Zhang Chen stopped cultivating and opened his eyes. A blood-colored light flashed in his eyes.
“A year has passed. It’s time to meet the Elder Blood River again..”
