Pirates: Get the Ice Demon Slayer Magic at the beginning

Xuantian Territory was once a diverse and prosperous region, with countless sects, families and independent cultivators developing together. However, today's Xuantian Territory has become the prison of the Blood Demon Sect. After a bloody invasion, the Blood Demon Sect destroyed the foundation of the righteous forces with iron-blooded means, and replaced them with dark rule and endless oppression.

The Blood Demon Sect's control is not simply violent rule, but a well-thought-out erosion. In the name of "Blood Dao Fellow Cultivator", they promote the Blood Demon Sect's unique blood refining technique, which is based on absorbing the essence and blood of others. Practitioners quickly improve their strength by hunting living beings or others. The power brought by this evil practice is extremely tempting, but it also pushes countless cultivators in Xuantian Domain into the abyss of depravity.

The leader of the Blood Demon Sect, Xue Tianli, ordered that all forces in the Xuantian Domain must submit to the Blood Demon Sect and practice blood refining techniques unconditionally. Any sect or family that dared to resist or secretly hide other skills would be completely slaughtered at night. In just a few months, countless ancient sects and families disappeared in the long river of history, replaced by vassal forces under the Blood Demon Sect.

Each vassal force was required to collect "blood soul tax" in the name of the Blood Demon Sect. There were two types of taxation: one was to provide a fixed number of monks to the Blood Demon Sect to extract blood essence each year, and the other was that each sect must regularly hand over resources and elixirs to support the development of the Blood Demon Sect. Many small sects chose to resist because they could not bear the blood soul tax, but they were exterminated one after another, and the remaining monks were captured and thrown into the "Blood Soul Purgatory" and became victims of the blood refining array.

Under the rule of the Blood Demon Sect, the entire Xuantian Region has become lifeless. The once free practitioners have now become slaves of the Blood Demon Sect, either forced to practice blood refining techniques or reduced to blood sacrifice materials. In order to meet the ever-expanding needs of the Blood Demon Sect, more and more monks have to join the hunting ranks and kill each other just to survive.

The group of independent cultivators were originally the freest group of people in Xuantian Domain. However, under the oppression of the Blood Demon Sect, they had to compromise. In order to survive, many independent cultivators joined the Blood Demon Sect's vassal forces and even took the initiative to practice blood refining. They hunted weak cultivators or ordinary creatures everywhere to absorb their essence and blood for cultivation. Although this way of cultivation can quickly improve strength, it makes them gradually lose their humanity and eventually become puppets of the Blood Demon Sect.

The expansion of the Blood Demon Sect not only destroyed countless sects, but also caused many ancient families to decline. In order to preserve their bloodline inheritance, those families had to offer their outstanding disciples to become sacrifices to the Blood Demon Sect. Even so, these families still could not escape the fate of assimilation.

In order to avoid extinction, some families chose to completely surrender to the Blood Demon Sect, and even took the initiative to change their surnames and send their descendants to the Blood Demon Sect for training. However, under the influence of blood refining, these descendants often completely betrayed their families, and even killed their own relatives with their own hands to show their loyalty.

Although the blood refining technique can quickly improve strength, it brings huge side effects. The mind of the practitioner will gradually be eroded, becoming violent and bloodthirsty, and even completely losing self, becoming a walking corpse controlled by the Blood Demon Sect. However, for most cultivators, they have no choice but to practice blood refining. The cultivators gradually collapse in the struggle within and the oppression from the outside world, and this atmosphere of despair further consolidates the rule of the Blood Demon Sect.

The once prosperous city has now become a dark concentration camp. The Blood Demon Sect has set up a "blood altar" in every city, which is one of the important means for the Blood Demon Sect to control Xuantian Territory. Every full moon, all monks must go to the blood altar and offer a drop of blood to the Blood Demon Sect as a symbol of loyalty.

People in the city were hurrying around, all with fear on their faces. The monks' clothing was printed with the Blood Demon Sect's symbol, representing their affiliation with the Blood Demon Sect. Anyone who talked about the righteous path or expressed dissatisfaction in public would be taken away by the Blood Demon Sect's law enforcers and would never return.

Although the Blood Demon Sect's rule seems impeccable, there are still some monks in Xuantian Territory who are unwilling to surrender. They hide in the deep mountains and dense forests, forming secret resistance organizations, trying to find opportunities to overthrow the Blood Demon Sect's rule. However, their strength is too weak, and they have repeatedly failed in the face of the Blood Demon Sect's iron-blooded suppression.

Most of these resistance organizations are composed of former righteous disciples. They regard the few remaining righteous skills as treasures and secretly teach them to monks who are willing to resist. However, once this behavior is discovered by the Blood Demon Sect, it often leads to the burning of the entire mountain forest and no member of the organization survives.

Under the leadership of the Blood Demon Sect, the demonic forces in Xuantian Territory became unprecedentedly strong. Countless cultivators who pursued power no longer regarded the righteous path as their destination, but threw themselves into the arms of the Blood Demon Sect. Their eyes were full of desire for power, and they even believed that the demise of the righteous path was God's will.

The Blood Demon Sect also constantly took advantage of this mentality and used various means of temptation to attract more monks to join. For example, the Blood Demon Sect promised that anyone who was loyal to the sect would receive endless cultivation resources and power. Driven by desire, many monks chose to completely degenerate and become accomplices of the Blood Demon Sect.

At the other end of Xuantian Territory, Ye Fan stood on a mountaintop, looking at this once familiar and beautiful land, now shrouded in darkness. His fists were clenched, and his eyes were full of anger and sorrow. Although the power of the Blood Demon Sect was so strong that it made people despair, Ye Fan did not give up hope. He knew that only by constantly improving his own strength could he completely change all this one day.

"Blood Demon Sect, your sins will one day be ended by my own hands!" Ye Fan muttered to himself. His figure gradually disappeared in the night and he continued on his own road of revenge.

Ye Fan stood on the edge of a cliff, looking at the Lingtian Territory below him, his thoughts surging. He knew in his heart that the Blood Demon Sect had now firmly controlled the entire Xuantian Territory, and its strength was so strong that he alone could not shake it. Revenge with his own strength alone was tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg, but Ye Fan did not despair.

He had long understood that the road to revenge could not be achieved by brute force alone, but required wisdom and strategy. And the Ling Tianyu in front of him was undoubtedly a sharp sword that could be used.

Although Xuantian Territory and Lingtian Territory are adjacent to each other, they have always been full of conflicts. The resource allocation and sect fighting between the two regions have long sown the seeds of hatred, especially the confrontation between the strong, which makes the situation worse.

The major sects in Lingtian Domain have always been very self-righteous, thinking that Xuantian Domain is just a place with scarce resources and cannot be compared with them at all. The people of Xuantian Domain regard Lingtian Domain as a greedy predator who interferes with their interests. Although the two domains are at peace on the surface, the open and covert struggles in secret have never stopped.

The Blood Demon Sect's control over Xuantian Territory was Ye Fan's opportunity to stir up conflict between the two realms. His plan was simple but bold: to make Lingtian Territory aware of the Blood Demon Sect's threat and have them take the initiative to weaken the Blood Demon Sect's power.

"Kill with a borrowed knife." Ye Fan whispered to himself, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. He had to provoke Ling Tianyu's defense and make them take the initiative to fight the Blood Demon Sect.

Ye Fan knew that in order to provoke a conflict, he had to make the sects in Lingtian Territory aware of the Blood Demon Sect's ambitions. After the Blood Demon Sect occupied Xuantian Territory, they would definitely not be satisfied with just ruling one area, and sooner or later they would extend their tentacles to Lingtian Territory.

Therefore, Ye Fan decided to disguise himself as an envoy of the Blood Demon Sect and spread false news to some small sects in Lingtian Domain: the Blood Demon Sect has listed Lingtian Domain as its next target, intending to annex its resources.

He began to move around the border of Lingtian Territory, using the name of the Blood Demon Sect to spread rumors that "Xuantian Territory has completely surrendered to the Blood Demon Sect, and Lingtian Territory will be the next blood refining site." These news quickly caused panic in the border areas, especially among the small and medium-sized sects, who were already wary of the Blood Demon Sect's bad reputation, and now they were even more panicked when they heard such news.

Ye Fan's actions did not stop at rumors. He secretly disguised himself as a disciple of the Blood Demon Sect and attacked some casual cultivators in Lingtian Domain, while deliberately leaving behind the Blood Demon Sect's iconic items. The blood talismans and traces of blood refining techniques next to the corpse were soon discovered and spread to the ears of major sects.

"The Blood Demon Sect actually attacked our Lingtian Territory?"

"They have already occupied Xuantian Territory, aren't they satisfied?"

Similar discussions quickly spread among the practitioners in Lingtian Territory. Although some large sects remained calm, small sects had already begun to feel that danger was lurking everywhere.

Ye Fan was not satisfied with creating panic, he also planned to create rifts between the sects in Lingtian Domain. He forged a "Blood Demon Sect Invitation Letter" and gave it to a strong medium-sized sect in Lingtian Domain. The letter suggested that the sect could join the Blood Demon Sect to obtain protection.

This letter was soon made public, sparking suspicion among other sects. Everyone began to suspect whether each other had secretly defected to the Blood Demon Sect, and the entire Lingtian Territory sect alliance became panic-stricken, and trust gradually disintegrated.

Ye Fan was not in a hurry to show up, but quietly observed the development of the situation. He knew very well that he could not directly intervene in the fight between the two domains at present, but as long as a conflict broke out between the Blood Demon Sect and Lingtian Domain, he could take the opportunity to find an opportunity to weaken the Blood Demon Sect and accumulate strength for future revenge.

"Blood Demon Sect, your doom will come inadvertently." Ye Fan had a sneer on his face, but his eyes were full of hatred and hope. He knew that everything he was doing now was to completely eradicate the Blood Demon Sect one day.

Ye Fan adjusted his face and breath again, quietly left the border area, continued to hide his identity, and looked for new opportunities. Although his road was difficult, he never wavered.
