Inside Blood Moon City, the Blood God Sect Master was personally treating the wounds of several Seventh Tier experts who were severely injured but still alive.

Including Qi Shanye.

The scene of the treatment was quite bloody.

First, the flesh that had been roasted by the blast was scraped away, and then the Blood God Sect's secret technique was used to stimulate the medicinal power of the Myriad Spirit Blood Pill to regenerate flesh and recover the wounds.

The treatment effect was no worse than a mid-tier Star Healing Emblem.

But the drawback was that it introduced a large amount of blood poison into the body.

"What is your name?"

"Sect Master, your subordinate is Qi Shanye."

"Your injuries are not light, and the blood poison accumulated in your body is also quite significant. Any more, and it will affect your consciousness. The high-level members of our sect cannot have problems with their consciousness. Take this bottle of Heart-Quelling Pill and take it continuously; it should be able to neutralize a portion of the blood poison," the Blood God Sect Master said.

"Many thanks, Sect Master."

Qi Shanye wore a look of gratitude, but his heart was filled with awe.

Don't be fooled by the Blood God Sect Master's appearance of treating wounds; the Sect Master's power had circled through his body, ostensibly to check the severity of the injuries, but more so to verify their authenticity. He hurriedly asked, "Sect Master, how is Protector Fan?"

"He is fine, he is very safe." Suddenly, the Blood God Sect Master looked at Qi Shanye's severed left arm. "And this left arm of yours?"

Hearing this, Qi Shanye revealed a look of reminiscence and emotion. "It was lost when I was being hunted by the Heavenly Yang Star Palace; it's been several years."

"I have read your background. You were hunted by the Heavenly Yang Star Palace for over a decade?"

"Twenty-one years, a full twenty-one years, Sect Master. It was only after joining the sect in the last two years that I could finally settle down and sleep peacefully! My hair even turned white from being hunted," Qi Shanye sighed.

"You are also a brave man!"

The Blood God Sect Master gave Qi Shanye a thumbs up. "Do you want to recover it?"

Qi Shanye was stunned. "I do, I dream of it!"

"Good, then I will help you fulfill this dream. Bear with the pain."

As the Blood God Sect Master spoke, his palm blade slashed out, instantly shaving away the old scab on Qi Shanye's severed arm. The moment blood sprayed out, a Seventh Tier spirit herb that was entirely blood-red was stuffed into Qi Shanye's mouth by the Blood God Sect Master.

"Swallow it, refine it! Then let down your defenses, and I will use the Great Severed-Limb Restoration Technique to give you a hand."

A majestic surge of blood light rushed from the Blood God Sect Master's body into Qi Shanye's like a silk ribbon.

In this instant, Qi Shanye felt that neither his internal Cloud Tower nor his Primordial Spirit had any secrets left before the Blood God Sect Master.

The torrent-like medicinal power was carried by the majestic blood light toward Qi Shanye's severed arm. An extremely numb and itchy sensation struck him; for a moment, Qi Shanye felt as if countless tiny claws were scratching his heart and liver—it was incredibly itchy.

But at the severed left arm, something was surging out.

Turning his head, he saw the severed limb of his left arm beginning to grow at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Severed limb regeneration!

Even Qi Shanye found it hard to contain himself in this instant.

Who wouldn't want to be a whole person?

At this very moment, even though Qi Shanye understood that the Blood God Sect Master's action was a thorough investigation of him, it was also a display of great favor to win his heart.

Yet, a trace of gratitude still welled up in his heart!

"It is done. The medicinal power has been dissolved. Use your own Star Power to continuously stimulate the medicinal power. I estimate that within half an hour, this severed arm of yours will be completely restored. Adapt to it, and you will be as good as new," the Blood God Sect Master said.

"The Sect Master's great kindness, this subordinate will keep in mind!" Qi Shanye's eyes revealed excitement.

Seeing this, the Blood God Sect Master nodded with satisfaction; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

He was also very helpless.

Blood Moon City had gone through major changes, losing several Eighth Tier experts. Today, Left Protector Fan Kai was killed, and Industry Hall Elder Xiao Wenfeng was beheaded.

Although these two had Blood Drop Divine Emblems to resurrect, their cultivation bases would inevitably drop.

There were too few people with super-strong combat power in the Blood God Sect.

And this Qi Shanye was the target he had selected earlier.

After the investigation just now, he had ruled out the possibility of a mole, so he showed favor to win his heart.

"Cultivate well. When your cultivation base breaks through to the Eighth Layer of the Seventh Tier, I will personally help you cultivate the Blood Drop Divine Emblem," the Blood God Sect Master promised.

"Many thanks, Sect Master."

The Blood God Sect Master waved his hand casually. "Hurry and restore your severed arm. These Seventh Tier spirit herbs, especially those that can regenerate severed limbs, are still quite rare."

After speaking, the Blood God Sect Master went to treat other severely injured Seventh Tier experts.

At this moment, the Blood God Sect Master's thought was to save as many as he could.

In this battle, the Blood God Sect lost two Eighth Tier experts and fifteen Seventh Tier experts. Added to the losses in the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm, nearly eighty percent of the Blood God Sect's Seventh Tier backbone elites were lost.

How could the Blood God Sect Master not feel heartbroken?

Qi Shanye watched his constantly regenerating severed arm, a complex expression appearing in the depths of his eyes.

He and the Blood God Sect Master were naturally opposed; the Blood God Sect Master's action could not possibly win his heart.

But Qi Shanye did take note of this favor of severed limb regeneration.

If there was a chance, this favor of restoring his severed arm would still need to be repaid.

A favor is a favor, a grudge is a grudge, and a stance is a stance, regardless of good or evil!

Back when he was struggling for survival in desperate straits and fleeing across the world, anyone who could give him a hand was a benefactor to him, Qi Shanye.

Even if they were a bad person or a demon, what did that have to do with him!

Good people hadn't come to give him a hand!

A favor must be repaid!

This was his, Qi Shanye's, Dao!

A few breaths later, a golden light fell from the horizon. Just the aura of that descent made Qi Shanye's heart tremble.

Ninth Tier!

Envoy Ju Zhang had arrived!

Qi Shanye, who was stimulating his severed arm, felt a stir in his heart. He silently took out the Eight Desolations Silver Token, sent an extremely brief message to Xu Jin, and then immediately tucked the Eight Desolations Silver Token back into his Sumeru space.

With two great Ninth Tier experts here, he dared not be reckless.

"Where is the person?"

The Eight Desolations Wang Envoy Ju Zhang, who had landed beside the Blood God Sect Master, questioned him. His gaze swept across the entire Blood Moon City, but apart from seeing many corpses, he did not see the Seven Killings successor he was hunting!

"He ran!"

"What?"

"This person is more powerful than I imagined. He has an explosive Primordial Spirit attack secret technique that directly caused my Primordial Spirit to tremble, and he also froze me in place. By the time I broke free, he had already flown out of the range of my Blood Curtain, leaving no trace. However, he has already been injured by me," the Blood God Sect Master said in a calm tone.

Having experienced countless storms, even though the Blood God Sect suffered heavy losses, the Blood God Sect Master remained calm and composed in front of others.

"When did he escape? Why didn't you notify me sooner?" The Eight Desolations Wang Envoy Ju Zhang was anxious.

"Less than a hundred breaths ago!"

"A hundred breaths?"

The Eight Desolations Wang Envoy Ju Zhang's eyes narrowed. "Sect Master Yu, why didn't you notify me? You have ruined my great cause!"

Stamping his foot, the Eight Desolations Wang Envoy Ju Zhang was about to trigger a sensing secret technique to sense the life aura resonated by his father, True Person Jin Shuo, in order to lock onto the Seven Killings successor's position.

Once locked on again, if he and the Blood God Sect Master, both Ninth Tier experts, rushed over, there was still a very high probability of capturing or killing him if they could catch up.

This was the last sensing opportunity.

"Your Highness Envoy Ju Zhang, wait."

The Blood God Sect Master suddenly spoke to stop him.

Envoy Ju Zhang frowned and looked at the Blood God Sect Master.

"Your Highness Envoy Ju Zhang, don't you think this matter is very strange? If this problem is not solved, I don't think it will be useful even if you sense his position again," the Blood God Sect Master said calmly.

"What is strange? What problem?" Envoy Ju Zhang asked suspiciously.

"Your Highness Envoy Ju Zhang, if you review the process of the hunt from today, you will find that this target of yours seems to be able to predict our actions.

Every time, he is able to stay one step ahead of us.

He even dared to be bold enough to kill his way directly into my Blood Moon City and severely injure the experts of my Blood Moon City.

When I arrived, he was wantonly slaughtering the Seventh Tier experts of my Blood Moon City. Not only did he finish slaughtering them, but he was also wantonly pulling and collecting their Sumeru spaces.

You tell me, under the hunt of two Ninth Tier experts and forty or fifty Eighth Tier experts, why was he so calm and so wanton? Shouldn't a normal person escape immediately after a surprise attack in Blood Moon City?" the Blood God Sect Master asked.

The Eight Desolations Wang Envoy Ju Zhang was also no ordinary person; his intelligence was definitely online.

Previously, he was just too invested and hadn't thought in this direction.

At this moment, after a slight hint from the Blood God Sect Master, he immediately reacted. "Are you saying there is a mole among us?"

The Blood God Sect Master didn't speak, but the meaning was self-evident.

"If there really is a mole, could it be the personnel under you, Sect Master? The Eighth Tier experts of my Eight Desolations Clan have no possibility of defecting," the Eight Desolations Wang Envoy Ju Zhang said confidently.

Although he said this, the seed of suspicion had already been planted.

Even if the possibility was extremely small, Envoy Ju Zhang decided that after this hunt ended, he would conduct an investigation.

"It is possible, so I am investigating! I have already checked the surviving Seventh Tier experts in Blood Moon City once, and I will also check the eight Eighth Tier experts after they return.

But for Your Highness's side, I suggest you also check.

Otherwise, hunting with a mole will only create opportunities for the enemy," the Blood God Sect Master said.

As soon as these words were spoken, Envoy Ju Zhang's expression changed.

He wasn't worried about a mole, but the Blood God Sect Master's latter sentence made him associate something.

Opportunities!

A mole creating opportunities!

If there really was a mole!

In the next instant, the Eight Desolations Wang Envoy Ju Zhang triggered the sensing secret technique with the fastest speed, and for the first time, he sensed Xu Jin's position.

At the same time, Envoy Ju Zhang triggered the authority of heaven and earth, instantly and continuously locking onto Xu Jin's position.

But the moment he locked on, his eyes changed.

Why were there five Eighth Tier early-to-mid stage Eight Desolations alien auras near the Seven Killings successor's aura?

He was too familiar with these auras!

Why would this happen?

Almost the moment Envoy Ju Zhang was surprised, those Eight Desolations alien auras began to disappear one after another!

In an instant, Envoy Ju Zhang's expression changed drastically.

The Seven Killings successor had gone to ambush the Eighth Tier experts they had brought out!

But he had clearly demanded that the Eighth Tier experts be in teams of at least eleven. Why was it a team of five here?

Which team was that?

He had to give a warning.

Even if it was late.

Time returned to twenty breaths ago. With the cooperation of spatial directional shifting and the Eye of Oversight, Xu Jin quickly found the team where Ju Qi and Ju Man were.

Xu Jin was more than five hundred miles away from them.

However, Xu Jin did not rush to make a move.

Eleven Eighth Tier experts, even with two aliens he controlled, still put him under immense pressure.

Especially if these two Eighth Tier experts he controlled didn't listen at a critical moment.

Even if he blew up their Primordial Spirits, he would still have to face nine alone.

It was still very dangerous.

But Xu Jin quickly thought of a countermeasure.

However, he was still waiting for news.

After a few breaths, Xu Jin received a message from his teacher, Qi Shanye: Envoy Ju Zhang had already arrived at Blood Moon City.

His current position was a little over six thousand miles from Blood Moon City.

No matter how fast Envoy Ju Zhang was, he still had a certain amount of safe time.

The problem now was how to divide these eleven Eighth Tier experts.

He had to be able to fight and win quickly.

If he couldn't, then he couldn't take the risk.

【Ju Qi, you and Ju Man discuss it and split your team into two. You can make up the reason yourselves, but I can guarantee that no matter what reason you use, once it's done, it will never be leaked, because dead people don't leak information.】 Xu Jin sent the order to the two aliens.

【My Lord, I'm afraid that won't work. If the news leaks, the two of us will be dead for sure!】 Ju Qi worried.

【If you don't execute it, you will be dead for sure right now! You can rest assured about the news leaking; it's not like you haven't seen my strength.】

【Alright, My Lord, we will try.】

After struggling internally for a few breaths, the two Golden Pillar aliens, Ju Qi and Ju Man, could only look at each other and helplessly agree to Xu Jin's request.

This was the consequence of having one's Primordial Spirit controlled by others.

Actually, Xu Jin's task was relatively easy to complete. Although their cultivation bases were not the highest in the team, they were the Golden Pillar clan with the highest status in the current Eight Desolations Royal Court.

The Golden Pillar clan naturally had a higher status than other Eight Desolations clans, and Eighth Tier Golden Pillar clan members had an even higher status.

The key was that the consequences made them quite worried.

But at this moment, they had no choice.

A breath later, Ju Qi and Ju Man lied, claiming they had received an order from the Eight Desolations Wang Envoy Ju Zhang to split into two groups, each taking several Eighth Tier experts to go to two other locations to execute a mission.

An Eighth Tier team of eleven was split into two in the shortest possible time.

One group of five and one group of six Eighth Tier experts headed in opposite directions, with Ju Qi and Ju Man each staying in one group.

More than ten breaths later, the moment the two teams were nearly two hundred miles apart, Xu Jin suddenly launched a surprise attack.

Xu Jin's surprise attack also had techniques.

When he attacked, he ordered Ju Qi to help him sneak attack another Eighth Tier expert at the same time!

In this way, he only had to deal with three Eighth Tier experts!

One of them was mid-stage Eighth Tier, and two were early-stage Eighth Tier.

This difficulty was more than ten times lower than before.

The moment he shifted over spatially, the suddenly appearing Xu Jin directly blasted and killed an early-stage Eighth Tier expert.

With the cooperation of the Five Elements Thunder Slash and Void, he directly beheaded the second early-stage Eighth Tier expert.

The third mid-stage Eighth Tier expert wanted to escape, but was directly frozen in place by Xu Jin's Spatial Flash Ice Mark.

The time before and after was barely two seconds.

At this time, the mid-stage Eighth Tier expert who had been sneak-attacked by Ju Qi finally understood what had happened.

The moment he glared at Ju Qi, his death date had also arrived.

He was blasted and killed by Xu Jin; of course, blasting the Primordial Spirit was just a matter of convenience.

And the mid-stage Eighth Tier expert who had been frozen had just broken free.

He happened to be blasted and killed by Xu Jin!

Watching this scene, Ju Qi's eyes were filled with horror.

Compared to the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm, the strength of the person in front of him had greatly increased again; it was too terrifying.

Killing early-to-mid stage Eighth Tier experts was like killing chickens!

In the next instant, Xu Jin calmly put away the corpses of these Eighth Tier aliens and began to pull their Sumeru spaces.

Ju Qi, who was on the side, was anxious. "My Lord, Ju Man reports that they have already vaguely sensed the movement here. According to your request, he has already led this team to kill their way over.

There are five Eighth Tier experts in total!"

"You go ahead and escape to join them, and I will arrive shortly. Then you and Ju Man cooperate with me."

Although Ju Qi was unwilling, he could only obey.

He immediately turned into a golden light and rushed toward Ju Man's direction.

Three breaths later, Xu Jin pulled out the Sumeru spaces of the four Eighth Tier aliens, and the moment he threw the items into his own Sumeru space, he took a step out. A majestic spatial fluctuation rose, and he had already appeared in front of Ju Man and the other seven Eighth Tier experts.

Previously there were six, and with Ju Qi who had fled over, there were seven.

The moment he appeared, Xu Jin still used a Five Elements Thunder Slash, instantly killing an early-stage Eighth Tier expert. The moment the other Eighth Tier experts besieged him, Ju Qi and Ju Man launched a backstab.

It turned into one against four, or rather, three against four.

Especially since the combat power of Ju Qi and Ju Man was still very strong, and they were also striking hard during the surprise attack.

In just three breaths, the battle ended!

In the next instant, two ordinary thunder lights blasted onto Ju Qi and Ju Man, scaring the two of them until their legs went soft, thinking Xu Jin wanted to kill them.

"I'll give you some injuries so you can muddle through."

The moment Ju Qi and Ju Man fled far away, Xu Jin began to pull their Sumeru spaces.
