Chapter 1809: Blood Spirit

The palace-dressed woman swept her gaze over everyone in the surroundings, her eyes narrowing, and finally landed on Han Li, remaining motionless.

Han Li felt a force of spiritual sense sweep over him. Although it couldn't be called too powerful, it gave him a strange feeling of being seen through inside and out.

His heart chilled, and he immediately began to circulate the Great Expansion Art within his body, blocking this spiritual sense force outside his body without hesitation.

The palace-dressed woman seemed somewhat surprised, but immediately withdrew her gaze, and a slender jade hand suddenly flipped in front of her.

The blood-colored crystal coffin that had originally shrouded her body suddenly showed a layer of rolling runes.

In a flash, the crystal coffin shrank countless times, appearing in her palm as a few inches in size, and then disappeared without a trace in another flash.

In this way, the palace-dressed woman broke free from the treasure and faced the crowd below directly.

"You are all members of the Xu family! But who is this person? He doesn't seem to be a Xu family disciple?" The woman asked an unexpected question as soon as she opened her mouth.

Xu Yuan and the others looked at each other in dismay for a moment.

"Is Your Excellency Fellow Daoist Bing Po?" At this moment, Han Li frowned slightly and asked in return.

This woman's body was clearly formed from essence blood, yet he couldn't directly sense the depth of her cultivation, which made him marvel somewhat.

Of course, he naturally wouldn't have any fear of an avatar formed by a strand of split soul, no matter how strange it might be.

"To say I am Fairy Bing Po is not wrong. Is Fellow Daoist a Body Integration stage cultivator?" The palace-dressed woman's eyes flashed with blood light, and she answered Han Li's question.

Of course, this was also because Han Li was a Body Integration stage cultivator, not weaker than her original body's cultivation.

"I am Han Li, indeed invited by Fellow Daoist Xu to awaken the blood soul of the Fairy." Hearing that the other party was indeed the blood soul of Fairy Bing Po, Han Li bowed politely.

"So that's how it is! It can be considered that these descendants of mine have put in effort, to be able to invite a Body Integration stage cultivator like Fellow Daoist to help." Hearing Han Li say this, the coldness in the palace-dressed woman's eyes faded, and she also bowed to Han Li.

Xu Jiao and the others felt their faces burn upon hearing the woman's question.

This "Senior Han" was not invited by them beforehand, but had come to their door on his own initiative.

Otherwise, this time, their Xu family would truly have been unable to awaken their ancestor's blood soul.

"Hehe, speaking of which, this matter has some connection with me, so helping with a small matter is only right. Moreover, I have some other connections with Fellow Daoist Bing Po," Han Li chuckled.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" The palace-dressed woman was stunned, her gaze shifting to look at the Xu family cultivators below.

"Ancestor, Senior Han's words are indeed true. Not only was the blood soul sent back to the Xu family by this Senior, but this Senior and Ancestor Bing Po both came from the same mortal world, and he even obtained some Qianlan Ice Flames left behind by the Ancestor," Xu Jiao stepped forward and replied carefully.

"There is such a thing! I thank you! After my original body breaks free, I will definitely reward you heavily." A trace of surprise flashed in the palace-dressed woman's beautiful eyes. Although she didn't say much, her words made people believe her involuntarily.

"I don't seek any reward, but I have a few questions I have always wanted to ask the Fairy for advice on. However, now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's wait until your Dharma body is stable before discussing this problem," Han Li looked at the woman for a few moments and said, the corners of his mouth moving.

"You have seen it. It makes you laugh. This blood body was just condensed and is indeed not very stable. It will take a few days to truly fuse the blood soul with it," the palace-dressed woman said, somewhat surprised, but without any intention of denying it.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist's blood soul has just awakened, so you must have many things to say to your clansmen. I won't disturb you. Fellow Daoist Qianyu, please send me back to my residence," Han Li turned around and suddenly said to Xu Qianyu nearby.

"Ah... Qianyu obeys!"

"This junior will not keep the Senior any longer. Once the Ancestor's blood soul is safe, I will personally thank the Senior heavily."

Xu Qianyu was stunned and couldn't help but look at Xu Jiao. However, the Xu family patriarch, hearing Han Li's words, felt joy in his heart and had already thanked him repeatedly.

The palace-dressed woman, seeing this situation, did not stop him, but just bowed slightly to Han Li again.

Thus, Han Li and Xu Qianyu turned around and walked out of the giant hall in a grand manner.

Witnessing Han Li's figure disappear at the exit, Xu Jiao then led the group of Xu family cultivators to pay their respects to the woman in the air again.

"You may rise. To be able to re-awaken my blood soul, you have truly worked hard. Are you the current patriarch of the Xu family?" The palace-dressed woman asked Xu Jiao slowly.

"The 173rd generation great-grandson Xu Jiao greets Ancestor Bing Po!" Xu Jiao replied with exceptional respect.

"The 173rd generation? It seems many years have truly passed. Hmm, although your cultivation is not high, it is not bad either. Rise, all of you. Although this blood soul inherits part of my original body's memories, it is not the true original body. Moreover, because of the long sealing time, the memories are mostly fragmented, and the important things I can remember are few and far between. There is no need to call me Ancestor; just call me Blood Spirit," the palace-dressed woman waved her hand at the people below with a bitter smile.

The Xu family cultivators were stunned upon hearing this, and then they were all shocked in their hearts.

"Then, Senior Blood Spirit, do you remember the whereabouts of Ancestor Bing Po's original body, and whether she is safe?" Xu Yuan asked anxiously, not bothering to dwell on the form of address, and asked about the question everyone cared about most.

Hearing this question, the palace-dressed woman's jade face darkened, and it was only after a long while that she shook her head.

At this moment, Xu Jiao and the others truly felt a chill in their hearts.

"Rest assured, although I cannot remember the direct whereabouts of my original body, through that trace of connection between blood souls, I know that she should still be alive in the Spirit Realm, and I still have some vague impressions of some related clues," the palace-dressed woman said, which made everyone feel joy in their hearts.

"Knowing the clues is good enough. As long as there is a trace to follow, we will definitely find the Ancestor," Xu Jiao took a deep breath and said solemnly, cupping his hands toward the air.

"This is not an easy task. Although I cannot remember the specific events, my original body should be trapped somewhere on another continent. Alright, I will tell you the detailed clues after I reorganize the fragmented memories in my brain. Now, tell me about the current situation of the human race, and about that Body Integration stage cultivator just now. I feel a familiar aura from him. Apart from the Qianlan Ice Flames he mentioned, there seems to be another item I am very familiar with that has also been obtained by him. But I cannot immediately recall the specifics!" A trace of doubt appeared on Blood Spirit's jade face.

Xu Jiao, Xu Yuan, and the others looked at each other in surprise upon hearing this.

After a moment of hesitation, Xu Jiao replied respectfully:

"Since Senior Blood Spirit wants to know, this junior will tell you truthfully. Ever since Ancestor Bing Po went missing, the last great demonic calamity of our human race descended upon the human race. Many of the original three Emperors and seven Demon Kings fell, causing the human and demon races to be quite chaotic in the following ten thousand years..."

This Xu family patriarch began to recount the major events from tens of thousands of years ago, interspersing them with some major events that happened to the Xu family. He even recounted the times they were almost exterminated.

When these things were recounted, he also detailed the things related to Han Li that he had heard from Xu Qianyu to this blood soul avatar of their own ancestor.

And the palace-dressed woman had been floating above the blood pool, her expression always calm, only the blood light faintly flashing in her beautiful eyes could let people see that there was not a ripple in her heart...

At the same time, Han Li had returned to the pavilion where he originally lived and sent Xu Qianyu away.

He himself went up to the top floor, walked to the window in a few steps, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the Xu family ancestral temple a few times, and began to ponder.

But after only a short while, Han Li left the window and returned to the center of the top floor.

Raising a hand, a yellow prayer mat was released.

Then he sat down cross-legged, formed a seal with one hand, and closed his eyes with a calm expression.

After this, Han Li had no more actions, as if he had completely entered meditation!

Three days later, the palace-dressed woman calling herself Blood Spirit appeared in front of the pavilion door with Xu Jiao.

Han Li, who had long sensed them, unhurriedly let the two into the hall on the first floor.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist for the completion of your blood body!" As soon as the palace-dressed woman sat down, Han Li said to her with a smile.

"To be able to fuse the Dharma body and blood soul so quickly, I must thank Fellow Daoist Han for your pure magic power. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Blood Spirit to consolidate the Dharma body to this extent in just three days," the palace-dressed woman replied with a smile on her lips as well.

Her originally bright red pair of pupils were now as black and crystalline as an ordinary person's.

"Hehe, I just did it in passing. However, Fellow Daoist's Blood Soul Secret Art is truly mysterious, being able to recast an avatar so easily; it is truly a great divine ability for self-preservation when encountering enemies," Han Li said, slightly stunned when he heard the woman call herself Blood Spirit, but immediately waved his hand as usual.

"This Blood Soul Secret Art was also something I obtained by chance back then. There are indeed a few methods in it that are quite useful for saving one's life. If Fellow Daoist doesn't mind, Blood Spirit will use this manual to reward Fellow Daoist for your previous great kindness in helping!" Blood Spirit blinked her beautiful eyes, flipped her palm, and a white jade slip suddenly appeared in her hand, sending it to the table in front of Han Li.

Then, her gaze toward Han Li was full of a look that was neither a smile nor a frown.

Han Li heard this, his pupils shrank, and after remaining silent for a moment while looking at the jade slip close at hand, he suddenly raised his hand and beckoned.

With a "sou" sound!

The white jade slip jumped into his hand on its own.

Han Li swept his gaze with a calm expression, and a strand of spiritual sense pierced into the jade slip.

And Blood Spirit, witnessing this scene, had no abnormality on her face, but a trace of surprise that was not easy to detect flashed in the depths of her beautiful eyes.
