Chapter 456: Deputy Sect Leader (Seeking monthly votes)

"Hand over your primordial spirit, and I will let you regain control of this star domain; your cultivation will not drop either." Looking at the terrified Blood God Child Lu Hong, Xu Jin offered his conditions.

"Who exactly are you? Why do you know the secrets of my Blood God Sect?"

After the terror, the Blood God Child Lu Hong did not have the mental collapse Xu Jin had imagined; instead, he asked back, which surprised Xu Jin greatly.

"You seem not worried about your death again?" Xu Jin asked.

"Worried, how could I not be worried!" The Blood God Child Lu Hong's expression quickly returned to calm, "However, you don't understand!"

"Kill me! You cannot extract any intelligence from my mouth!" The Blood God Child Lu Hong said firmly.

Xu Jin was astonished again.

A die-hard!

A loyalist!

But he liked it!

The next instant, Dream Warmth was activated, directly causing the Blood God Child Lu Hong to fall into a deep sleep, and then he began the interrogation in the dream.

After only a few sentences, Xu Jin understood the fundamental reason why this Blood God Child Lu Hong was so stubborn.

A primordial spirit brand had also been placed on this Blood God Child Lu Hong's primordial spirit, winding around it like silk threads and veins.

This caused Xu Jin, who had intended to interrogate him directly, to change his mind immediately.

The Blood God Child Fu Ying, who had been captured and controlled by Xu Jin earlier, did not have his primordial spirit controlled.

But the Blood God Child Lu Hong before him had his primordial spirit controlled.

Xu Jin also thought of the reason.

Controlling such a Sixth Tier star domain and continuously transporting humans from the current era from the outside to cultivate them.

Such a grand undertaking was definitely not something this Blood God Child Lu Hong could pull off alone.

It could be confirmed that behind the Blood God Child Lu Hong, there must be higher-ups in the Blood God Sect.

Combined with the Mandarin Duck Seal that had been melted earlier, this point could be confirmed.

And looking at the Blood God Child Lu Hong's Seventh Tier, Ninth Layer peak cultivation, having been branded by that person, the existence behind him must be Eighth Tier.

And must be a true high-level member of the Blood God Sect.

Moreover, looking at the existence time of Falling Plum Manor, its location, and the various situations in the current era, Xu Jin highly suspected that the existence controlling the Blood God Child Lu Hong might possess a hidden identity in the current era.

Otherwise, the Blood God Sect's methods might succeed in hiding in one place for a few years, but for decades, and within the territory of the powerful Great Hong Empire, it was absolutely impossible.

Then such an existence should have primordial spirit sealing methods.

If Xu Jin's interrogation touched upon certain taboos, it would directly trigger the primordial spirit seal, then blow up the Blood God Child Lu Hong's primordial spirit, causing Lu Hong to die on the spot.

Then, Lu Hong would be reborn from a drop of blood again.

Xu Jin highly suspected that the location of Lu Hong's next rebirth from a drop of blood was very likely outside the Falling Plum Star Domain.

The reason was simple: the Blood God Child Lu Hong did not need to place all the essence blood that could be reborn from a drop of blood within the Falling Plum Star Domain.

If he were reborn from a drop of blood within the Falling Plum Star Domain and killed again, being reborn again would just be delivering his head.

So Xu Jin judged that the Blood God Child Lu Hong's next rebirth from a drop of blood would be outside the star domain, very likely in the current era.

Once reborn from a drop of blood outside, the Blood God Child Lu Hong would bring the most real intelligence to his direct superior, the existence controlling him.

The Falling Plum Star Domain was a fixed star gate; if this person guarded outside the star gate, wouldn't that be catching a turtle in a jar?

Guarding against one Eighth Tier expert, Xu Jin was not afraid.

All special powers erupting, but what if he guarded against two, or even three?

Normally, this was impossible!

However, the opponent could control a Seventh Tier, Ninth Layer peak expert like the Blood God Child Lu Hong; mobilizing a few ordinary Eighth Tier experts was entirely possible.

Therefore, Xu Jin decided not to interrogate.

Just control the Blood God Child Lu Hong like this, not letting him go back to report the news.

Of course, Xu Jin was not asking nothing at all.

He still asked some related questions.

Xu Jin himself was proficient in primordial spirit sealing and knew that primordial spirit sealing could only seal some key issues.

For example, not revealing identity, not revealing inheritance, not doing certain things, etc.

Moreover, this kind of primordial spirit sealing must be specific.

If it were vague, one might accidentally lose one's life first.

So some time-sensitive questions could still be asked; of course, one had to have technique.

"You held the Mandarin Duck Seal earlier, right?"

"Yes."

"You contacted the expert who controlled your primordial spirit, right?"

"Yes."

"What did you report?"

"I reported to the Deputy Sect Leader that unidentified outsiders had broken into the star domain, requesting the Deputy Sect Leader to investigate whether the entrance was safe, and explained the general intelligence of the intruders."

"How did you explain it?"

"I said the intruder was at the Fifth Tier, Ninth Layer peak cultivation, seemed to be a peerless genius of some force, proficient in Thunder-element, Fire-element, and Earth-element star arts, and could easily slay one Seventh Tier mid-stage and two Seventh Tier early-stage alien experts."

Hearing the Blood God Child Lu Hong's answer, Xu Jin's heart sank immediately.

Although this was not the worst situation, this intelligence alone was enough for that Deputy Sect Leader outside to make all kinds of preparations.

As long as that Deputy Sect Leader was not too stupid, he would inevitably mobilize Eighth Tier experts.

If he encountered a cautious master, he might even deploy two Eighth Tier experts!

Putting himself in their shoes, if it were Xu Jin, he would inevitably do the same, perhaps even using more power.

Because the Blood God Sect's affairs were too sensitive.

This belonged to things that could be done but absolutely could not be said.

Once known by the current era, they would immediately be beaten by everyone.

Especially if there was evidence.

Even Star Lord Tianyang would be the same, immediately becoming an enemy of the current era!

At this moment, Xu Jin was very glad for his decision.

Fortunately, he did not kill the Blood God Child Lu Hong again.

This guy had only sent out a basic speculation earlier, and it was enough to attract one or two Eighth Tier experts.

If he were reborn from a drop of blood at this very moment and brought back Xu Jin's true terrifying performance within the Sixth Tier star domain.

Then, how many experts would Xu Jin face?

Three Eighth Tier experts?

Or four?

Anyway, if it were Xu Jin making the decision, he would bring as many Eighth Tier experts as possible; absolutely no accidents could occur.

In this way, it was slightly troublesome.

This Blood God Child guy must be kept alive; in the short term, he absolutely must not die!

Wanting to achieve this was difficult for others.

But for Xu Jin, it was not too difficult.

The next instant, Xu Jin carefully controlled his power and performed a "Sha-Breaking" on the Blood God Child Lu Hong.

He injured the Blood God Child Lu Hong's primordial spirit, reaching a state where he was injured but not to the point of death.

Subsequently, several more "Dream Warmth" were applied.

This caused the Blood God Child Lu Hong to fall into a deep sleep, beginning to recover his primordial spirit injuries.

In the short term, at least for three or four days, he would not wake up.

During the period Xu Jin was interrogating the Blood God Child Lu Hong, Seventh Tier and Sixth Tier alien experts returned to the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng one after another to reinforce it.

At first, Xu Jin wanted to capture the Seventh Tier protectors and Blood-Clad Vajras of the Blood God Sect to see if he could control their primordial spirits.

But after capturing two, he found it was a waste of effort.

The structure of the Blood God Sect members in the Falling Plum Star Domain was extremely tight.

With layers of primordial spirit control, Xu Jin had no opportunity to intervene at all.

Even those Seventh Tier early-stage, mid-stage, and late-stage alien experts were all like this. There was absolutely no opportunity for Xu Jin to intervene.

This made Xu Jin regretful, so he could only blast them all to death and dig out their star cores.

If he didn't kill them, once any accident occurred, these aliens with controlled primordial spirits would turn around and attack Xu Jin without any hesitation.

However, there were exceptions.

Because the Blood God Sect adopted a method of layered primordial spirit control, layer by layer.

For example, the Blood God Child Lu Hong controlled the top combat power; the primordial spirits of those Seventh Tier, Ninth Layer peak late-stage, and Seventh Tier mid-to-late-stage Blood God Sect protectors and Blood-Clad Vajras were all controlled by the Blood God Child Lu Hong.

But the primordial spirits of some Seventh Tier early-stage and individual Seventh Tier mid-stage alien experts were refined and controlled by the four Blood God Sect protectors.

At this very moment, those four had been slain, so the primordial spirit brands refined into these people naturally dissipated, and Xu Jin could re-refine primordial spirit brands into these Seventh Tier experts.

Using their hands to ransack this Sixth Tier star domain.

"If you have finished condensing the Star Pattern inheritance essence blood I requested, return to the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng, and bring my spoils of war back with you."

Inside the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng, Xu Jin used the Heaven and Earth Authority to transmit his voice to the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang from afar.

Upon hearing this, the latter's expression became incomparably terrified.

This person had conquered the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng so quickly?

What about the Blood God Holy Envoy?

Thinking was thinking, but the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang still hurried to condense the Star Pattern inheritance essence blood Xu Jin needed, and at this moment, his cultivation aura had already dropped to the Seventh Tier, Eighth Layer peak.

But even so, the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang still rejoiced.

The corpses of the Green Stone King and Water Spirit King were right beside him, and the spoils of war from their Sumeru spaces were also laid out beside him; it was that person who had instructed him to lead them out and bring them back.

As for hiding private goods?

Just kidding!

He wasn't stupid!

This person could transmit voice from afar, so he knew he already possessed the means of the previous Blood God Holy Envoy; every move he made, this person could see.

It was equivalent to having a pair of eyes above his head!

Only a fool would hide private goods!

Inside the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng, to prevent the Blood God Child Lu Hong from waking up or dying due to some accident, bringing greater risks, Xu Jin carried the sleeping Blood God Child in his hand with a star power hand, carrying him wherever he went.

This made all the surrendered alien experts in the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng awe-struck, unable to raise even the slightest thought of resistance.

This Blood Spirit Holy Envoy had been a god-like existence in their minds before.

Often manifesting miracles.

Now, he was being dragged around like a corpse by this mysterious visitor.

Who was strong and who was weak, wasn't it clear?

Just be obedient.

"Open!"

In front of the bunker gate of the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng, Xu Jin arrived carrying the unconscious Blood God Child Lu Hong, followed by eight Seventh Tier alien experts and over a dozen Sixth Tier alien experts.

Following Xu Jin's order, an alien expert opened the bunker gate.

Below the bunker was a spacious hall.

Over two thousand youths were sitting cross-legged there, each cultivating attentively.

The highest cultivation was the Condense Star Realm, and the lowest was still in the Meal of Mist Realm.

The moment Xu Jin stepped in, he sensed everything clearly.

Driven by the Bright Discipline Star Pattern, he immediately found the five youths suspected to be Mo Daniu.

And the moment Xu Jin stepped in, all two thousand-plus youths focused their gazes on Xu Jin.

Especially when they saw the unconscious Blood God Child Lu Hong being carried in Xu Jin's hand, the expressions of all the youths changed.

Some became very fearful, while others became incomparably angry.

"Who is Mo Daniu?" Xu Jin asked loudly.

No one answered Xu Jin, and none of the four or five suspected youths stood up.

However, Xu Jin keenly discovered that when he asked, the gazes of over a dozen youths looked toward one of the suspected youths.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jin felt even more relieved.

This bloodline of Master Mo's was not only not stupid, but very smart.

Then, they should not have been brainwashed by the Blood God Sect.

That made things easy to handle.

Almost simultaneously, a youth at the Condense Star Fourth Tier stood up, pointed at Xu Jin, and shouted angrily, "Who are you? How dare you not release the Holy Envoy immediately!"

Following the shout of this Condense Star Fourth Tier youth, nearly a hundred youths stood up immediately, each glaring at Xu Jin with eyes that wished to eat him alive.

"I won't release him, so what?" Xu Jin provoked!

"If you don't release him, we will kill you!"

As he spoke, the leading Condense Star Fourth Tier youth had blood light rising around his body, actually taking the lead to charge at Xu Jin.

Under his lead, more than half of the youths who stood up roared and charged at Xu Jin.

Xu Jin sighed inwardly.

These were the ones beyond saving.

The kind brainwashed by the Blood God Sect into die-hards.

The Blood God Child had been captured alive by him, yet they still dared to charge over to save him!

Their courage far exceeded their wisdom.

Xu Jin didn't need to act; the Seventh Tier and Sixth Tier alien experts behind him had already charged over, and in an instant, screams were endless.

In only one or two breaths, corpses were strewn everywhere.

What was fortunate was that at the final critical moment, over a dozen of those hot-headed youths woke up amidst the screams and retreated, shrieking.

One Sixth Tier alien expert, however, had gone too far and actually pursued them.

Xu Jin merely let out a cold snort, and Fire Cloud Divine Thunder blasted down instantly, blasting this Sixth Tier alien expert into charcoal.

In an instant, all the alien experts and all the youths in the bunker were silent as cicadas in winter!

Instantly killing a Sixth Tier, Ninth Layer peak alien expert!

This strength...

The next instant, Xu Jin beckoned, and starlight surged out, directly capturing the youth who had been focused on by his companions into the air.

Xu Jin glanced at him; he was quite bold.

Even facing such an encounter, although he showed fear, his eyes were fixed on Xu Jin, flickering, clearly thinking of a way to cope.

No wonder his black-hearted uncle wanted to sell him.

Such a nephew, as long as he grew up, would definitely deal with his black-hearted uncle.

"Is your father named Mo Xin?" Xu Jin asked via primordial spirit transmission; this was the pseudonym his uncle used outside.

"You know my father?" Mo Daniu, who was terrified, was pleasantly surprised.

"Then let me test you, what is your mother's surname?"

"My mother's surname is Hu."

Once these words were spoken, Xu Jin smiled.

It matched!

Found him!

The next instant, Xu Jin's divine sense swept through Mo Daniu inside and out.

There was no primordial spirit sealing situation, nor any other Blood God Sect methods, no hidden dangers.

Xu Jin also completely relaxed.

Uncle Mo's bloodline had finally been found.

But the next instant, Xu Jin was troubled!

How to handle these two thousand-plus youths in the bunker?
