Chapter 520: Blood Poison

Because Eight Desolations Envoy Ju Bo died an unnatural death, for three consecutive days, Blood Moon City was in a high-pressure state, with all departments and armies mobilized, almost sifting through all suspicious personnel coming and going in Blood Moon City.

Those with the ability to commit the crime, such as Tier 7 late-stage and Tier 8 powerhouses, were all personally screened by the Left and Right Protectors, and later even expanded to Tier 7 mid-stage cultivators.

But still, nothing was found.

The Blood God Sect high-level officials even wanted to play a frame-up trick at the beginning, finding a random Tier 7 late-stage alien and pinning the crime of assassinating the envoy on him.

But the Eight Desolations King was not easy to fool.

Killing the Tier 7, Sixth Layer Envoy Ju Bo within two or three breaths, also killing two Tier 6 subordinates, and then calmly escaping and hiding.

This kind of means required super hard strength.

The consequences of a failed attempt to fool him were much more serious than an unsolved case!

After all, the former represented an attitude, and the latter represented ability.

But no matter how serious the consequences were, Blood Moon City was already a big city living with a million cultivators, and it had to operate in the end.

Because of this, the intensity of the search was weaker day by day!

Under the circumstances where everyone understood, it had already become acting.

Under these circumstances, Xu Jin, who was also searching for the murderer, had more and more time to slack off.

Of course, Xu Jin used all the time for slacking off to cultivate.

It only took Xu Jin two days to absorb all eight Tier 7 Soul-Returning Pills.

He raised his eight-cornered Cloud Tower by two and a half layers.

On the third day, he refined and absorbed forty-four of the Tier 6 Soul-Returning Pills he had obtained, raising his eight-cornered Cloud Tower by another one and a half layers.

Nowadays, looking inward, the eight-cornered Cloud Tower in Xu Jin's body had increased by four layers in succession.

Even the fifteenth layer of Cloud Tower had one corner.

This level of eight-cornered Cloud Tower, even if Xu Jin sensed it himself, had a few points of heaviness.

Compared to before, his cultivation had a substantial improvement.

Waiting until the remaining thirty Tier 6 Soul-Returning Pills were absorbed, Xu Jin's fifteenth layer of eight-cornered Cloud Tower would be complete.

Cultivation was the foundation.

This wave of Soul-Returning Pill harvest made Xu Jin's foundation soar directly.

If a few more waves of such harvests came, Xu Jin's foundation would be even stronger.

Even facing a Tier 8 peak powerhouse, he might not be able to beat him, but saving his life would be no problem.

This made Xu Jin begin to actively plan another major event.

If that major event succeeded, then in this Eight Desolations Continent, as long as he acted carefully, he could come and go freely.

Of course, a soaring foundation was not pride.

Xu Jin himself was still very clear-headed.

Condensing fifteen layers of Cloud Tower was considered very rare among ordinary cultivators, but among geniuses, it was considered ordinary.

Most geniuses would condense twenty layers of Cloud Tower before breaking through to Tier 7.

Only when Xu Jin condensed the Cloud Tower to twenty or even thirty layers or more would his advantage be extremely great.

Of course, even currently, Xu Jin's eight-cornered Cloud Tower advantage was still extremely great.

Because whether it was the Great Chen National Dao Academy or the geniuses of the several Star Palaces, there were still those who condensed twenty layers of six-cornered Cloud Tower.

But those who condensed twenty layers of seven-cornered Cloud Tower were extremely rare; most top-tier geniuses could condense three to five layers of seven-cornered Cloud Tower, which was already very powerful.

As for the eight-cornered Cloud Tower, for those below Tier 7, anyone who could condense one layer was the kind that was rare in the world!

Xu Jin nowadays was all eight-cornered Cloud Tower.

This was also Xu Jin's strength.

At this very moment, in the middle of the night, Xu Jin, who was cultivating, slowly opened his eyes and stopped cultivating.

After three days of fluctuation, Blood Moon City gradually stabilized, and it was time for Xu Jin to take action.

Outside the quiet room, the beautiful maid arranged by Grand Commander Zhong Ji was still very dutifully waiting, ready to accept Xu Jin's summons at any time.

Xu Jin had interrogated with Gentle Dream; the housekeeper and this beautiful maid would report Xu Jin's daily life once a day when buying vegetables or dumping trash.

Of course, they were all normal daily lives, mainly bitter cultivation.

Xu Jin would not let them discover abnormal daily lives.

The next instant, Xu Jin's Gentle Dream was activated.

The beautiful maid, who was originally yawning, fell into a deep sleep, and the housekeeper sleeping in the side room slept even more soundly.

Leaving a Seven-Kill Escape Dragon Stake in his quiet room, invisibility was activated, and Xu Jin left the courtyard silently, rushing straight to the Blood Moon Army camp!

Although the assassination of the envoy had calmed down these past few days, the patrols inside Blood Moon City were even stricter.

Previously, there were at most Tier 6 powerhouses leading patrols.

But tonight, the Tier 7 powerhouses Xu Jin saw leading patrols were already four.

However, Xu Jin was not afraid at all.

Nowadays, his invisibility star art, under the blessing of powerful Primordial Spirit power, had already become extremely brilliant.

Unless someone with a higher Primordial Spirit cultivation than him, they could discover him in invisibility at a certain distance.

But inside Blood Moon City, people with higher Primordial Spirit cultivation than him were very few, and even those equivalent were very few.

Anyway, the Primordial Spirit aura of the Punishment Hall's Elder Mu that Xu Jin had seen was not as strong as his.

He hadn't seen the Left and Right Protectors, so he didn't know.

And even those equivalent to his Primordial Spirit cultivation wanted to discover him, they had to be at a fairly close distance, such as entering the Primordial Spirit embryo light sensing range of the other party.

Theoretically, Xu Jin was safe as long as he kept a distance of twenty to fifty meters from those Tier 7 powerhouses.

He arrived at the Blood Moon Army camp smoothly, infiltrated easily, and didn't take long to find the barracks where teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye was.

Qi Seeing Qi Shanye was a Guard General, so naturally, he had an independent barracks, and also personal guards guarding him.

What surprised Xu Jin was that even though it was late at night, teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye was still cultivating bitterly.

He was cultivating bitterly, but the personal guard guarding the door was somewhat tired.

Xu Jin knew the reason why Qi Seeing Qi Shanye was full of spirit.

When he entered the Tier 6 star domain, Xu Jin had passed Gentle Dream to his teacher.

This Gentle Dream Star Pattern was an artifact for continuous combat and also an artifact for bitter cultivation.

Without too much consumption, half an hour to an hour was enough to make himself recover to be full of energy.

Xu Jin waited quietly for his teacher's bitter cultivation to end.

This wait was an hour.

An hour later, Qi Seeing Qi Shanye's bitter cultivation ended, and he called out, but the personal guard guarding the door was dozing off.

He called out several times, and only then did the personal guard wake up.

When he went in, he had become trembling and fearful!

"What are you eating?"

Just because he was late, Qi Seeing Qi Shanye slapped the personal guard to the ground, his ferocity soaring to the sky.

He even kicked him twice, but when the third kick was about to land, he stopped suddenly in mid-air, trembling for several breaths; Qi Seeing Qi Shanye, whose anger had erupted, stabilized and said coldly, "I want to wash up!"

The personal guard, who had been beaten black and blue, then crawled to clean up.

Xu Jin, who was observing from afar using the Clear Record Star Pattern, had his brows tightly locked.

Over this year, his teacher's cultivation had soared, but this temper—how had it become so big?

In his sensing, it was even somewhat brutal!

Waiting patiently for another quarter of an hour, Qi Seeing Qi Shanye finished washing up and lay down, and the personal guard outside the door returned to his post.

Only then did Xu Jin silently cast Gentle Dream, making the personal guard on duty outside the camp gate fall into a deep sleep.

Just when Xu Jin thought he had done it seamlessly, Qi Seeing Qi Shanye, who had just fallen asleep, sat up instantly, his eyes wide open, and his divine soul power scattered in all directions like mercury leaking to the ground, and he himself began to walk and search!

"Teacher, this alertness of yours really hasn't diminished at all!"

The moment Xu Jin's voice transmission rang in Qi Seeing Qi Shanye's mind, Qi Seeing Qi Shanye turned around fiercely, his eyes wide, blood light appearing, and killing intent floating everywhere.

This discovery made Xu Jin's heart skip a beat.

He vaguely felt that teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye might have some problems.

But according to his previous performance, he still had reason.

"Who are you?" Because Xu Jin took the initiative to transmit his voice, he exposed his position.

Fortunately, Qi Seeing Qi Shanye only showed that his temperament was somewhat brutal, but his reason was not lost.

So while discovering the abnormality, he only transmitted his voice and locked onto Xu Jin's position and aura, without attacking directly and exposing Xu Jin.

If that were the case, it would be troublesome.

"Teacher, it's Jin'er!"

"Jin'er?"

Once these words were out, Qi Seeing Qi Shanye's face changed drastically in an instant; his first reaction was to observe the situation around him, then he said vigilantly, "Impossible, who exactly are you?" "Teacher, Clear Soul Star Pattern, you begged me to learn it!" Xu Jin directly transmitted his voice to provide evidence.

Qi Seeing Qi Shanye was stunned in an instant!

Clear Soul Star Pattern—many people knew it, and it wasn't a secret.

However, the situation of the teacher-disciple fate between him and Xu Jin at the beginning was known to no one else besides him and Xu Jin.

It was just that his disciple Xu Jin had come to the Eight Desolations Continent, and he was at the Tier 6, Ninth Layer peak aura?

How was this possible!

Qi Seeing Qi Shanye still didn't quite believe it.

It was mainly because he didn't dare to believe it!

He had encountered too many tests in the Blood God Sect this year, including tests of human nature.

He himself was already like this now, and he was truly afraid of bringing any more disasters to his disciple.

In an instant, he thought of a lot.

He was afraid that it was the Blood God Sect wanting to test something from him and then making things difficult for his disciple!

That was his only thought now!

"What are you saying, I don't know!" Qi Seeing Qi Shanye replied stiffly.

Xu Jin frowned and continued, "Teacher, you told me about a friend who peed his pants the first time he killed someone!"

This voice transmission made Qi Seeing Qi Shanye's old face turn red instantly.

Many people had such a friend!

His heart already believed it a few points.

"Teacher, you gave me a Star Tower!"

"Teacher, my divine soul condensing stars was a benefit you helped me pick up when we were encircling the Worship Battle Divine Sect!"

Several familiar past events in a row made Qi Seeing Qi Shanye not only recall the past but also confirm that the person transmitting the voice before him was his disciple Xu Jin.

Even if it wasn't, he had to meet someone who knew so many past events!

"You should hide and come in."

One breath later, no one appeared in the room, but Qi Seeing Qi Shanye's Clear Record Star Pattern sensed that there was an extra aura in his barracks.

Sensing at a close distance, this aura was even quite familiar!

"Jin'er, is it really you?"

In his excitement, Qi Seeing Qi Shanye waved his hand to support starlight, isolating the inside and outside.

At the same time, Xu Jin also revealed his figure.

Looking at his disciple's familiar face, Qi Seeing Qi Shanye's eyes were slightly watery, and the next instant, he was shocked.

"Jin'er, you... you weren't captured and had your divine soul controlled by the Blood God Sect, were you?"

"That hasn't happened..."

The teacher and disciple chatted for over an hour.

Through communication, Qi Seeing Qi Shanye also understood Xu Jin's purpose, and Xu Jin figured out the encounter of Qi Seeing Qi Shanye and the others.

On this point, Blood God Child Hong Hong Daze hadn't lied to him.

Qi Seeing Qi Shanye and Mo Ji rushed into the Tier 6 star domain, actually prepared to fight a protracted war.

They even formed a preliminary plan.

They planned to secretly control an alien tribe first and then develop slowly.

It was just that they didn't expect to be met with a head-on blow at the beginning, followed by a Tier 7 siege.

Originally, the two of them had the idea of dying in battle!

No matter what, they couldn't become prisoners of the aliens.

But thinking that the experts who appeared later were actually powerhouses of the Blood God Sect.

When they were recruited to surrender, they just surrendered.

Anyway, the Blood God Sect and the Spirit Record Star Palace were both wanted criminals of the current world.

The difference was just that the Blood God Sect's reputation was smellier.

They were just having their divine souls controlled.

As long as they were alive, they still had a chance!

The things that followed were even more magical, completely beyond what they could have imagined.

They originally thought they would help the Blood God Sect control aliens in that star domain, but they didn't expect to be sent to the Eight Desolations Continent and separately gain the favor of the Left and Right Protectors.

Making them extremely valued.

Cultivation resources were ten times that of other sect members.

Especially that Myriad Spirit Blood Pill, which was supplied to them without limit.

Over a year later, it directly piled his cultivation to Tier 6, Ninth Layer peak.

Condensing twenty layers of Cloud Tower.

Most were still six-cornered Cloud Towers, and there were a few that were seven-cornered Cloud Towers, directly raising Qi Seeing Qi Shanye's combat power to a higher level.

"Teacher, can this be considered a blessing in disguise for you?" Xu Jin laughed.

"Blessing?"

Qi Seeing Qi Shanye shook his head, "I'd rather not have this kind of blessing!

This is the way that Left Protector controls me!

This year, the more Myriad Spirit Blood Pills I absorbed, the more blood poison brought by the Myriad Spirit Blood Pills accumulated in my body.

It has already seriously affected my mind!

It's okay usually, barely controllable!

Once I fight with others, once I smell blood, I will go crazy and become a fierce beast that only knows how to kill!

That Left Protector gives me a Heart-Extinguishing Pill every five days, saying it can suppress the blood poison!

If I don't take it, I will be directly stunned by this blood poison!

But he also lets me continue to use Myriad Spirit Blood Pills to cultivate!

This Left Protector, controlling my divine soul is not enough, and he is also using this blood poison to control me." Qi Seeing Qi Shanye sighed.

"So, you'd better not save me!

When one day I feel I can't control it, I will run to the Eight Desolations alien territory and kill a lot!

Killing one is breaking even.

Killing three is earning a pair!

It can be considered a contribution to the human race!

Better not save me, you should find an opportunity to return to the human side early!

It is said that the Blood God Sect's Sect Master is coming; if he comes, the possibility of you being exposed will be even greater!" Qi Seeing Qi Shanye said.

"Teacher, don't worry, I have a way to clear the Myriad Spirit Blood Pill blood poison!"

"You have?"

"Yes, I have; I can help you purify it once now."

In Qi Seeing Qi Shanye's doubtful gaze, Xu Jin moved his heart and directly urged the purification of the Sequential Star Art brought by the Tier 8 Star Healing!

Star-like green light with pure life aura fell into Qi Seeing Qi Shanye's body.

But the next instant, Xu Jin's expectant gaze changed.

The moment this star-like green light fell, it was like water droplets falling on a red-hot iron plate; with a sizzling sound, it dissipated!

The negative power accumulated in Qi Seeing Qi Shanye's body actually backfired, backfiring Xu Jin's purification star art!

You must know, this was a Tier 8 star art, cast by Xu Jin using a Tier 8 Wood Source Star Pattern!

While Xu Jin was dumbfounded, Qi Seeing Qi Shanye also smiled bitterly.

"I said, I am too deeply affected by this blood poison; it is not just poison into the bone marrow, nowadays it is poison into the Primordial Spirit, poison into the Cloud Tower!

This is also the method that Left Protector thought of to control me after knowing my background!"

The next instant, Qi Seeing Qi Shanye urged his heart, and his Primordial Spirit and Cloud Tower appeared in front of Xu Jin.

What shocked Xu Jin was that both Qi Seeing Qi Shanye's Primordial Spirit and Cloud Tower had strands of blood color.

That blood color, or rather blood poison, had already merged with the Cloud Tower and Primordial Spirit!

Xu Jin's expression changed instantly.

"This... this Left Protector, how can he be so vicious!" Xu Jin said hatefully.

"I am looking for an opportunity to get rid of the control, but this Left Protector also knows my thoughts, so he added weight to control me!

It's a pity my cultivation is not enough; otherwise, when I go crazy one day, I will kill this Left Protector, and I can vent my anger!" Qi Seeing Qi Shanye said.

"Is Uncle-Master Mo Ji the same?" Xu Jin asked.

"The same!"

Qi Seeing Qi Shanye nodded, "So Jin'er, you'd better leave early! Mo Ji and I are already unsavable!

Completely unsavable!

You have this heart to go deep into the tiger's den to save your teacher; your teacher is already satisfied.

This life, it's worth it!

Die without regrets!"

After speaking, Qi Seeing Qi Shanye added, "By the way, you mentioned before that Uncle-Master Mo Ji's descendants have been rescued and taken care of by you, and he also has a successor!

I think he has no regrets either!

You should leave this place of right and wrong early!" Qi Seeing Qi Shanye advised again.

Hearing this, Xu Jin shook his head, "No!"

"You child, why don't you listen!" Qi Seeing Qi Shanye was angry!

"Teacher, I still have a way to save you!" Xu Jin said.

"This is impossible, don't dream anymore!" Qi Seeing Qi Shanye was stunned.
