(FINAL CHAPTER)
Iris moved in a blur straight towards the Sovereign but was intercepted by a group of disciples. She unleashed her rage on the disciples and they fell in their numbers drenching her in more blood. She looked like she had crawled her way out of hell.
But after hours of endless pouring in of disciples of the Scarlet sect and undead puppets, Iris began to feel overwhelmed. Ye Shan was also surrounded and covered with multiple wounds both big and small not to talk internal injuries. He looked like he was at his last straw and could collapse any second. Iris was not looking too good herself but with every wound she received, the more her rage and hate increased. The only thing that kept her from falling was her thirst for blood and revenge.
Just when everything seemed to be going in the favour of the Sovereign, The guardian Wei Ming arrived with Fan Jin, Xiu Mei and other disciples and teachers. Ling Yan immediately Rushed in to aid Iris. He's face mirrored His best friend Iris's rage and hate. Fan Jin and Xiu Mei aided Ye Shan together.
The guardian, Wei Ming immediately ordered the rest of the disciples and teachers to fight off the puppets and disciples of the Scarlet sect.
Just when the Sage pavilion thought they were subduing their enemies, the puppets began to bloat and blow up like ticking bombs and they claimed the life's of many sage pavilion people.
One of the Scarlet sect disciple suddenly exploded behind Iris and she couldn't react on time. But then a spiritual qi shield suddenly blocked the attack for her. Iris turned to see a puppet sneaking up behind Wei Ming who had conjured the spiritual qi shield to protect her.
"Behind you!" She screamed and Wei Ming reacted narrowly avoiding the attack.
Slowly, the sage pavilion people were pushed back into a small group and were surrounded.
"Give up already or more of your friends will die." The Sovereign who has been sitting unfazed on a throne-like-chair said with dark amusement.
"Don't listen to him Xu lan. We will save your family together" Wei Ming assured without taking his eyes off the mad sovereign least he tries anything.
"Such lies from the mouth of the new Holy son. Did your dear late father also tell lies like that?" The Sovereign asked with mirth.
"But don't worry. I will get what I want whether you wish to give it or not" He concluded before begining to form a hand seal.
"What is he doing" Fan Jin asked fearfully.
"Not good" Xiu Mei said in terror.
Suddenly all the disciples and puppets around the sage pavilion people, began to explode and then their splattered bodies and blood began to mingle and move and then merged into an Array around the Sage pavilion small group.
The moment the array was completed under the shocked gazes of the Sage pavilion people, it began to siphon their life force. The disciples with slightly weaker cultivation soon began to fall to their deaths Their bodies dissolving into puddles of blood and joining into the blood array. As the blood mixed, it strengthened the blood array to the point that spiritual qi shield started to fail.
Iris had paled to the point that she could barely stand on her own feet. Wei Ming had to protect her and a few of their wounded companions.
"You still won't give up from watching your companions die, then.... Perhaps bringing your family will change your mind?" The Sovereign asked and then waved his hand.
Long Miao and Long Chen appeared. Long Miao, Iris's mother had sustained some good number of external injuries and was pale, probably from torture. Long Chen was looking even worse.
"Mother.... Little Chen" Iris cried through difficulty.
"I can release them if you offer yourself, Out worldly soul" The Sovereign said.
"Do not listen to him Xu lan! We'll be fine!" Long Miao shouted to her daughter pleading with her eyes.
"Quiet!!" The Sovereign thundered and gripped Her neck.
"Mother!!" Both Long Chen and Iris screamed at the same time.
The Sovereign squeezed Long Miao's throat with pure glee of madness in his eyes.
"Let her go....I....I offer myself" Iris said and the Sovereign smirked before tossing Long Miao like a rag doll.
"I knew you would come around" he said before waving his hand nonchalantly and a small path opened on the blood array.
"Xu lan you must not go!" Wei Ming tried to reason.
"I will not watch my mother and brother die and I certainly will not let you all die because of me" Iris said before walking out of the array.
Once Iris was within reach, the Sovereign bound her tightly with his qi.
"Honour your promise and let them go" Iris said with suppressed rage despite her blood soaked and wounded self.
"Of course. But, I have to kill one of them. Perhaps your mother? She's old afterall" he said before moving towards Long Miao.
"If you hurt her I swear I will end you!" Iris said in both fear and rage.
"How frightening" The Sovereign said before snapping Long Miao's neck.
"Now, where were we?" He asked, turning around.
Iris was drowning in pain, in hate and in rage! She wanted blood! SHE NEEDED BLOOD!!
Long Chen's screams and cries where distant and muffled to Iris. She felt something stir from within her soul and then, it ripped through her like a violent gush!. Her qi was like an endless vortex and all she saw was Red. Everything and everyone in front of her was turned into a puddle of blood by the gush of her qi including the Scarlet sect sovereign who did not even see the attack coming.
"DIE!!" she screamed as more qi poured out of her, killing everything that wasn't protected.
She truly lost control of herself now and there was no going back.
By the time everything cleared, Iris was nowhere to be seen. She had disappeared.
