Chapter 70

The screams came from them.

Visible to the naked eye, as the array activated, blood mist continuously seeped from these disciples, converging toward the center.

Taking the shape of an elixir.

"Blood Refining Array!"

"You're refining Huang Quan Aperture-Ascending Elixir!"

Kong Linxue's pupils shrank, a deep chill crawling up her spine.

This is a demonic art.

Using human essence and blood as the main ingredient, combined with numerous materials, to refine an elixir.

The better the quality, the higher the success rate, and the stronger the potency.

Thus, demonic cultivators skilled in this art often capture geniuses from major sects to refine elixirs.

Huang Quan Aperture-Ascending Elixir is also called Human Blood Elixir.

Kong Linxue immediately understood.

Why Bei Qianke dared come near Weitaixuan Sect.

He had mastered this demonic art!

Among second-rank elixirs, Huang Quan Aperture-Ascending Elixir is among the most effective.

After all, it uses the essence of geniuses as its main ingredient.

But this is still a demonic art.

Its side effects are severe.

It corrupts the user's spirit, making them irritable and volatile; overuse leads to madness.

"My lord, shouldn't we evacuate quickly? Weitaixuan Sect should send reinforcements any moment."

A warrior stepped forward, speaking respectfully.

Though he too was in the Aperture Opening Realm, he was only at the 3rd stage, utterly incomparable to a warrior like Bei Qianke.

Thus, he became a subordinate.

"Wait a little longer—the Human Blood Elixir is nearly complete."

Bei Qianke considered, then said.

These Weitaixuan Sect disciples in the array have decent aptitude; they're highly likely to yield an elixir.

He didn't want to abandon it at this critical moment.

"Capture these three, use them as the next batch of materials."

Bei Qianke glanced coldly at Kong Linxue.

The three instantly felt as if plunged into an ice cellar.

"Yes!"

Yet just then.

Bei Qianke suddenly frowned, whirled around, lifted his head, and stared at an ancient tree.

"I didn't expect someone had already arrived."

"Step out, sir."

"I've already detected you."

As he spoke.

All eyes turned toward that spot.

From the darkness,

A figure slowly emerged.

It was Meng Zhangqing.

He had only just arrived, having heard only of Ghost Finger Bei Qianke and the Blood Refining Array.

He was counting the number of people on the field

When the next instant, he was discovered.

He'd need to learn a secret technique for concealing his aura.

Otherwise, he'd keep giving himself away.

"So he's a Weitaixuan Sect disciple."

Bei Qianke's gaze turned icy.

But when he sensed the intruder's cultivation base was only 5th stage of the Aperture Realm, his brow relaxed.

A cultivator of this level posed no threat whatsoever.

He didn't even need to act—his four subordinates alone could handle him.

"Capture him."

Bei Qianke turned back.

"Yes!"

The four subordinates immediately charged toward Meng Zhangqing.

"Young brother, run!"

"You're no match for them!"

"Go seek help from the sect!"

When someone arrived, Kong Linxue was initially relieved—but upon sensing his cultivation base, her heart sank.

Even she, at 7th stage of the Aperture Realm, couldn't defeat them.

Let alone the fifth layer!
