Chapter 35: Blood Spirit’s plans
“Then, brother, how did you find out about it?” Liu Zhang Hai asked.
Wang Xiao Qi’s ears twitched as his eyes widened.
Circulating his spiritual power, Liu Zhang Feng kicked Su Mian’s corpse away before responding, “While I was looking for treasures in the valley, I noticed ‘Starlight’, Liu Xing Mang sneaking around a pothole and I followed him!”
Wang Xiao Qi, still hiding on the branch, pouted as he thought: The Liu clan’sLiu Xing Mang is one of the seven great prodigies, how could you describe him like that?
Going so far as to call him sneaky, I bet you’re the sneaky one!
Liu Zhang Feng continued, “I saw him dig out a red-coloured crystal from the hole that looks exactly like this one, hah, what do you think? I didn’t think too much about it at that time, but I watched as he immediately refined this stone and broke through his cultivation on the spot! He had gotten the Dragon God’s bloodline! I watched everything unfold with my own two eyes, the dragonic spiritual power circled his body three times, the suppressiveness I saw, the aura, it was incredibly mighty!”
Liu Zhang Hai’s gaze was filled with disbelief as he spoke in confusion, “Brother, then this is?”
“Of course! Do you remember what we saw in the beginning, the thing at the mountaintop inside the remnant?” Liu Zhang Hai asked mysteriously.
Liu Zhang Hai quickly nodded his head, despite the uncertainty in his eyes, “I remember! Before the stone tablet exploded, I read the words carved on it: ‘The Dragon God’s bloodline, a legacy from the heavens and earth, unify all nine to bring forth peace!’”
Wang Xiao Qi’s gaze was strange, it was filled with curiosity and confusion.
Was it truly the Dragon God’s bloodline?
A bloodline! Something that was rare to be seen even among a million cultivators.
Even the lowliest of bloodlines could aid its owner to become undefeatable within their cultivation realm.
And this Dragon God Crystal in front of him was actually capable of bestowing a bloodline?
And there was a total of nine?
“Right! This means that there are a total of nine Dragon God crystals! The one that we have is just one among nine. If not, why do you think I’d act so rashly when I saw Su Mian digging this out? This is a treasure!” Liu Zhang Feng spoke in excitement as he wrapped the crystal in his spiritual powers, ready to refine it.
“Brother, after I’ve refined this crystal, we’ll go look for another one together! We’ll both be able to break through to the Origin realm!”
Liu Zhang Hai responded with a similar level of excitement, “Alright brother, I will protect you!”
Suddenly, glints of light shot from a faraway tree, it was six darts.
The six darts surrounded the two brothers, leaving them with no escape.
Both of them were immediately shocked, they hadn’t expected someone to be close by. With fearful expressions, they couldn’t help but wonder, was their earlier conversation heard?
Liu Zhang Feng quickly blocked with his sword as he placed the Dragon God Crystal in his bag of holding. He quickly shouted to his younger brother, “Let’s kill him first!”
But what he saw next was the pale face of his brother and the five bloody holes in his chest. Blood was spewing out as he tried to speak with a hoarse voice, “Origin realm, run!”
And the moment he finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground and died.
Liu Zhang Feng’s expression was dazed as the sword in his hands almost dropped.
And unfortunately, his momentary falter had wasted his best shot of escaping.
A human silhouette dropped down at his side, the six darts had come from him, and right now, another six darts were in his hands.
“I’ll remember you!” Liu Zhang Feng gritted his teeth as he glared at Wang Xiao Qi hatefully. Ready to run, he turned around only to notice another six darts flying to his face.
What!
Why was there another six?
Liu Zhang Feng didn’t have any time to think.
“Ping!”
His corpse fell powerlessly to the ground, landing on top of Su Mian’s body.
Murderers had their own karma.
Wang Xiao Qi carefully surveyed his surroundings before patting his bag of holding, summoning an ape puppet and controlling it to walk towards the corpse. It moved carefully, wary of a hidden weapon or poison that might be on the corpse.
After a while, he finally obtained the bag of holding and managed to wipe the surroundings clean of any traces of battle and the three corpses.
Wang Xiao Qi mumbled to himself, “Don’t disappoint me!” The moment his fingers came into contact with the Dragon God Crystal as he was trying to take it out, he could feel a powerful yet formless energy resonating in his palm and body.
The powerful spiritual power not only had a suppressive aura, but it also gave off an unforgettable sensation. 𝑓𝘳ℯℯ𝔀ℯ𝓫𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓵.𝘤𝘰𝓶
It was a dragon!
Wang Xiao Qi could not contain his excitement as he burst into laughter, “Hahaha! It really is powerful! It’s real! Hahaha!”
His laughter was akin to rumbling thunder before he quickly stopped himself and lowered his head. Recalling the nearby surroundings, he quickly ran towards a cave not too far away.
He wanted to refine this Dragon God Crystal and obtain the Dragon God’s bloodline.
He knew very little about bloodlines, and he couldn’t even tell which dragon was conceived in this bloodline, but this didn’t quell his desire in the slightest.
Even the lowliest of bloodlines was enough for him to establish himself in Yan.
His figure darted amongst the forest, quickly disappearing.
And after that, three human silhouettes appeared.
All three people were wearing ordinary clothes, disguising themselves as ordinary people, but they couldn’t mask the bloody aura and viciousness in their eyes.
Blood Spirit.
Blood paladin Murder turned his head towards blood paladin Butcher, “What do you think about this person?”
Butcher nodded his head slightly, responding with a hoarse voice, “He’s quite talented, skilled in darts, intelligent and greedy enough.”
“Haha, being greedy is a good thing! As long as he desires the remaining eight Dragon God Crystals, he’ll definitely cause an even bigger mess! At that point, the Blood Spirits will become even stronger!” Murder had a yearnful yet insane appearance as he stared at the messenger disciple next to him, his eyes filled with curiosity.
“Great blood paladin, please do not worry! The information of these three members of the suicide squad has already been erased, it’ll be impossible for anyone to find out about our involvement. Su Mian, Liu Zhang Feng and Liu Zhang Hai are all fake names, no one will know that they belonged to the Blood Spirits.”
Murder’s expression was calm as he nodded, “Then?”
The disciple’s expression paused as he tested the waters, “The other four teams have also successfully completed their missions perfectly, the five dragon god crystals are currently distributed among the fourth prince Murong Jing, ‘Starlight’ Liu Xing Mang, ‘Two-faced Three Stabs’ Wang Xiao Qi, Moon Fire sect’s Le Qing Qing, and the wandering cultivator swordsman Ke Yao Qi. I have already spread the information on all of them, and with the Zong Xiang gang’s aid, the number of people heading into the valley continues to rise steadily.”
“En, then?” Murder’s expression remained unchanged as he threw a glance at the disciple.
“Ah? Great blood paladin, weren’t we supposed to bury seven of the dragon god crystals and arrange for two of them to remain hidden, while the remaining two crystals weren’t mentioned in the plan.” The expression on the disciple’s face faltered as he glanced at Butcher, who stood next to him, his face turning pale.
“What about you.”
Butcher reminded.
The disciple opened and closed his mouth as if wanting to say something, but he eventually closed his mouth in resignation as he nodded with a despairing gaze, cutting his own neck with one chop.
His head flew out as blood gushed from his severed neck.
Following his death, the demise of the five teams in the suicide squad became a mystery that no one aside from Murong Lin and the four great blood paladins knew about. Even within the Blood Spirits, no one else had any inkling about the existence of those 18 people.
The two blood paladins remained there, enjoying the scenery as they chatted, “The other two should be done with their preparations already, right?”
“As long as nothing went wrong, there shouldn’t be any issues.”
“What do you think master’s messenger bird letter meant? Why do we have to get there?”
“I don’t know, once we’re done here, we’ll head over to the capital.”
“How many people do you think will die this time? Heh.”
“I don’t know, but after seeing what master gave us, I reckon that it’ll be enough for five ten thousand human blood pills, even ten wouldn’t be impossible!”
“Heh, master is still so unfathomable!”
At the same time, the unfathomable master that the two blood paladins were speaking about was currently drinking with his friends at a restaurant.
