Chapter 631: Nine Realms Gate: When did the boss hire new employees?

Black Bamboo didn't know that she had already been targeted by the spear of must-hit; she now only wanted to return to the sect as soon as possible to report what had just happened, and by the way, treat her right hand.

Fortunately, during this period, in order to dig out the existence beneath Dongting Lake, the headquarters of the Nine Realms Gate was not far from Sanchuan Town.

Looking at the towering buildings shrouded in clouds and mist before her, Black Bamboo felt a slight sense of relief in her heart.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, she flew toward the main hall.

Along the way, disciples in the sect naturally noticed this Great Divine Ability Seeker who looked quite disheveled, but hindered by her status, no one dared to step forward to ask what had happened, and could only exchange glances secretly.

'Did Lord Black Bamboo fight someone? What kind of guy is so bold? Actually daring to provoke our Nine Realms Gate?'

'Don't know, but it looks like Lord Black Bamboo suffered a loss; this is truly rare...'

Glancing at the twisted right hand of the Great Divine Ability Seeker in the distance, the disciples became more and more curious about what had happened.

Too lazy to care about what the sect members were thinking, Black Bamboo flew at high speed to the front of the main hall.

At this time, a white-haired man with his eyes sewn shut flew out from the hall.

"Black Bamboo? What happened? How did you end up like this?"

The white-haired man "looked" at his fellow sect member and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Hearing this, Black Bamboo shook her right hand, which was only connected by skin and flesh: "Take me to see the teacher quickly; I have important matters to report."

"...Follow me."

Seeing this, the white-haired man was silent for a moment, then took her and flew into the main hall.

At this time, an old man with white hair and beard was standing in the center of the hall, looking at the huge lake phantom before him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this old man, the white-haired man lowered his head slightly and spoke respectfully: "Teacher, Black Bamboo says she has important matters to report."

Hearing the voice, the old man turned to look at the two.

And when he saw Black Bamboo’s miserable appearance, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Speak."

"Teacher, Sanchuan Town..."

Hearing this, Black Bamboo told everything that had happened in Sanchuan Town.

After listening to her account, the old man couldn't help but frown tightly: "Do you think they have a relationship with that drop of Ten Thousand Karma True Blood from earlier?"

"Exactly." Black Bamboo nodded, "And even if there is no relationship, it means that besides us, there are other forces acting on this land."

"..."

After a brief silence, the old man wanted to instruct his disciple to go down and rest first.

But before he could speak, a chill instantly made his hair stand on end.

The very next moment, a throwing spear emitting bone-chilling coldness pierced through the void and flew straight toward Black Bamboo’s heart.

The sudden attack shocked the three people in the hall.

Especially Black Bamboo; she realized instantly that this was likely a backup plan left by that mysterious person.

But the headquarters of the Nine Realms Gate was not close to Sanchuan Town; could the other party have launched the attack because their real body was nearby? Or was this long spear similar to the ability of her senior brother’s innate divine ability, [Tribulation Period]?

Too late to think, Black Bamboo began to fully activate the [Heaven-Punishing True Words].

[Slow], [Fixed]!

As the giant mouth spat out the two words coldly, she immediately retreated.

At the same time, the old man and the white-haired man had also reacted.

Looking at the long spear that had suddenly appeared in the hall, their pupils shrank sharply: "Dharma treasure?!"

They didn't expect that the mysterious person Black Bamboo spoke of was so arrogant, actually wanting to kill them all before their eyes.

However, after seeing the [Heaven-Punishing True Words], they relaxed their vigilance slightly; after all, according to Black Bamboo’s description, she had previously blocked similar attacks with her innate divine ability, so they thought they wouldn't need to take action.

Just as the two were thinking this, they found that the long spear, which should have stopped in place, was not affected at all and continued to fly forward straight.

At this moment, of the three people present, only Black Bamboo knew why this situation had occurred.

Because the long spear before her and the long spear she had blocked earlier were not the same Dharma treasure at all!

Feeling the stinging pain coming from her heart, Black Bamboo had to shout: "Senior Brother!"

Before her voice had even faded, the white-haired man had already blocked in front of her.

As a strange-looking orange-yellow giant pupil appeared behind the man, the pitch-black long spear suddenly disappeared without a trace.

[Tribulation Period], this was his innate divine ability.

And what could match this arrogant name was naturally an extremely exaggerated ability, one of which was being able to transfer the great tribulation he suffered to a place he had once stayed.

However, if the scale of the great tribulation was too large, he couldn't control the specific location of its descent.

Just like the long spear just now.

'That Dharma treasure was not a tribulation toward me; I hope the one suffering the tribulation for Black Bamboo is not a member of my Nine Realms Gate.'

As this thought flashed through his mind, the man surnamed Xiang turned to look at the woman behind him.

"Black Bamboo..."

However, he had just spat out two words when he saw the long spear, which should have appeared elsewhere, appear in the hall again, and then pierce through Black Bamboo’s heart with lightning speed.

"Cough... wah!"

The sudden attack made Black Bamboo widen her eyes in disbelief.

She coughed up a large amount of blood, and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "How is it possible..."

Wasn't this Dharma treasure transferred away by [Tribulation Period]?! Why did it come back?!

On the verge of death, this Great Divine Ability of the Nine Realms Gate forcibly activated the Dharma power in her body, controlling the [Heaven-Punishing True Words] to apply the final word to herself.

[Freeze].

At the same time, a cold, emotionless voice sounded in the hall.

"When you Nine Realms Gate take action against This Seat next time, you had better weigh whether you are qualified."

As the voice fell, the long spear that had pierced Black Bamboo’s heart plunged into the void and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, the two in the hall fell into silence.

After a long while, the white-haired man sighed: "Xiang is ashamed of himself regarding such a Dharma treasure, but does Your Excellency really think my Nine Realms Gate has no one?"

Unfortunately, no one responded to him.

The old man glanced at this proud disciple and asked coldly: "Yuyin, where do you think he studied?"

Facing the inquiry, Xiang Yuyin thought for a moment and replied: "Nothing more than the Thousand Machines Gate, the Heaven-Connecting Sect, etc.; it’s just that I don't know which of their immortals accepted the Ten Thousand Karma True Blood."

"Yuyin thinks he is not a Seeker?"

"After all, in this era, I have never heard of any Great Divine Ability who could refine such a Dharma treasure just now."

Xiang Yuyin’s expression was very calm.

As the number one sect in the current Divine Ability world, the Nine Realms Gate knew very well about all other sects.

And the one most skilled in refining Dharma treasures was naturally the Thousand Machines Pavilion, but as far as he knew, the current pavilion master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, Wumingzi, shouldn't have such a temperament.

Of course, it was also possible that the other party didn't like going out.

More importantly...

Wumingzi was an owl, which clearly didn't match Black Bamboo’s description.

Combined with the drop of Ten Thousand Karma True Blood that appeared not long ago, there was a high probability that it was a powerful Seeker specialized in Dharma treasures who had turned into a Dharma corpse; this could also explain why the other party was so familiar with another Great Divine Ability Dharma corpse.

Hearing this, the old man nodded slightly: "Since that’s the case, let the sect members contact the sects that are good at refining Dharma treasures more, to see if they can fish out useful information."

"Also, let the sect members pay more attention to that person’s whereabouts; if the situation is appropriate, you can appropriately reveal the final goal of my Nine Realms Gate to him."

Facing the teacher’s instructions, Xiang Yuyin bowed and agreed: "Yes."

After dealing with matters related to that mysterious person, the two cast their gazes toward Black Bamboo.

Because she used the [Heaven-Punishing True Words] to freeze her state at the last moment, she wouldn't die for a while.

However, there were Great Divine Ability Seekers in the Nine Realms Gate who were proficient in medical skills; if Black Bamboo wanted to return to her peak state, I fear it would take an extremely long time, and it was even possible she would be left with hidden injuries.

Realizing this, the two sighed silently; they didn't expect that the plan would deviate before it even started.

It was a pity that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired; now they couldn't regret it even if they wanted to.

On the other side.

Li Ang flicked the bloodstains off the Gungnir spear and then collected it into [Heavenly Imperial Center].

I have to say, the mechanism monsters in the Sun-Moon world were numerous; under the circumstances just now, Black Bamboo actually wasn't stabbed to death by a single spear.

But forget it, if she didn't die, she didn't die; he didn't necessarily have to kill the other party.

Rather, if this Great Divine Ability of the Nine Realms Gate really died, it would make things somewhat difficult for him.

'It should be about time for Zhao Yan’s side; it’s time to send him on his final journey.'

Send on final journey (×).

Pull him up to work (√).

As this thought flashed through his mind, Li Ang couldn't help but be somewhat curious about what the reaction of this supreme being of the Wangchuan Academy would be in a moment.

But before that...

He glanced at the Seekers in the distance who had expressions of awe, then flicked a white light.

After doing this, Li Ang slowly walked into the pitch-black rift on the side.

Seeing this, Datou and the others let out a long sigh of relief in their hearts.

Finally gone...

After witnessing what had just happened, they were truly somewhat afraid that this person would take action against them.

Especially Datou; he knew very well that the other party should have used a Dharma treasure to injure that Great Divine Ability of the Nine Realms Gate just now.

Recalling the cold long spear stained with blood, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Damn... what exactly was that thing..."

Unfortunately, before he could reach a reliable conclusion, a discussion attracted his attention.

"Haoguang, what did that senior just do to you?"

Ma Chao looked at his disciple, who had a somewhat dazed expression, and appeared extremely nervous for a moment.

He naturally noticed the white light Li Ang shot before leaving, but because his strength was low, he had no power to stop it from entering his disciple’s body.

Facing the old man’s concern, Gao Haoguang slowly came to his senses, then scratched his cheek somewhat uncertainly and said: "It seems to be asking me to go get something."

Saying this, he hesitated slightly, then ran toward a certain place: "Master, you all wait here; I’ll be back soon."

Hearing this, Ma Chao and the others looked at each other, then followed.

Gao Haoguang didn't care that his master and the others were following; he arrived at the location in his memory, squatted down, and began to dig.

Then, not long after, a tattered piece of hemp cloth covered in blood-colored writing appeared before his eyes.

The gray-haired youth picked up the hemp cloth and began to read it carefully.

Just as he was immersed in the content of the hemp cloth, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Little brother, what are you looking at?"

"Returning Heaven Blood Body..."

Facing the inquiry, Gao Haoguang subconsciously said the content recorded in the hemp cloth.

But soon he realized the impropriety and hurriedly closed his mouth.

Datou didn't take this to heart, just bent down and picked up something, muttering the words engraved on it in a low voice.

"Heaven-Connecting Talisman... what is this?"

Judging by the name, it seemed to be a divine ability related to Dharma talismans.

Before Datou could figure out the origin of the object in his hand, a palm reached out from beside him and snatched the thing from his hand.
