Chapter 1099
Xu Xiaolan’s expression was especially sincere, and An Lin was quite touched by her words.
After experiencing an intense battle, the Blood Tribe versions of An Lin and Xu Xiaolan finally tasted the sweet result of instant riches.
An Lin was itching to cause some trouble.
However, Xu Xiaolan solemnly put a stop to An Lin’s bold idea.
During this sensitive time, provoking the Blood Tribe once was already more than enough.
If they continued to cause trouble and infuriated a super mighty figure of the Dao Integration Stage, then there was a chance that they would be plunged into a perilous situation!
An Lin considered this for a moment and felt like Xu Xiaolan had a point.
During their attack, they didn’t offend just one or two sects. Rather, they had offended a string of Blood Tribe sects! There was indeed a chance that a supreme being of the Dao Integration Stage would come. Their best option was to return to Ling Can City to hide…
The two of them continued to take inventory of their loot.
There were relatively few high-rank items in Xu Xiaolan’s loot. The most valuable items that she had looted were merely high-rank spirit tools and high-rank spirit pills. However, although the items that she had looted were low in rank, they were many in number! Which person didn’t have one or two life-saving spirit pills in their storage ring? When combining the possessions from all the Blood Tribe cultivators together, Xu Xiaolan’s loot was hugely valuable!
As for An Lin, the number of items that he had looted was relatively fewer. However, they largely consisted of valuable and exquisite items. There were sixteen spirit tools and forty-six spirit pills. Furthermore, there were even four immortal pills and one immortal tool! These were all genuinely valuable items.
An Lin had looted the immortal tool from Simpson’s storage ring. It was called the Blood Soul Cross, and one could activate it with the power of their blood and divine sense. Once activated, it could be used to suppress an enemy’s life force. This Blood Soul Cross was an intermediate-rank immortal tool.
It was a very useful immortal tool.
It was a pity that Simpson had come across the non-living Yao Ji, and then An Lin, who possessed an extremely powerful divine sense. He was killed before he could even show off his immortal tool!
As for the four immortal pills, they were all seventh-rank immortal pills. They were called the Blood Replenishment Immortal Pill and were a type of replenishing pill. Their effects included rapidly replenishing one’s vitality, as well as rapidly healing one’s wounds. This type of pill was extremely well-liked by Blood Tribe cultivators.
The Blood Tribe’s research into replenishment pills was particularly advanced, thus these pills all had amazing quality.
There was a jubilant smile on An Lin’s face as he put these items away elatedly.
“As expected, killing people and looting their treasures is the quickest way to make money!”
He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes. “If you play with fire, you’ll eventually get burned. I’m going to warn you again. Please forget your bold idea.”
An Lin could barely suppress his urges.
His wealth had already surpassed ninety-four million spirit stones, and his target of reaching one hundred million spirit stones was already well within reach…
“Forget about it.” An Lin sighed after forcibly suppressing his urges. “We’ll find another chance to do heaven’s work and destroy a few demonic sects when we return to the Kingdom of the Nine States.”
“The Kingdom of the Nine States has the Heavenly Court, Four Nine Immortal Sect, and the Nine Imperials. What powerful demonic sect can there be? The only ones remaining are small and weak. Even if they have cultivators of the Return to Void Stage, they’re all keeping a low profile now.”
An Lin nodded in agreement.
In the Kingdom of the Nine States, all the genuinely powerful demonic sects had already been destroyed.
Even if the remaining demonic sects wanted to commit crimes, they would do so secretly. On the surface, they still had to dress themselves up as upright and law-abiding sects. The only possibility of them committing crimes openly was if they became retarded or if they wanted to seek death…
Right now, the number of upright sects to demonic sects was severely imbalanced. Thus, it was almost impossible for An Lin to generate wealth through annihilating demonic sects within the Kingdom of the Nine States.
…
Just as An Lin was mulling over how to reach his target of one hundred million spirit stones…
In the core region of the Dark Marshlands.
Inside the Heavenly Blood Sect.
An aloof female was staring at a message coldly. She was dressed in a holy white robe, and her eyes were as red as blood.
“Humph! Someone actually dared to sabotage the blood festival and ruin my Holy Leader’s great plan! They’re clearly looking down upon me, the Holy Disciple Cassidy… Since you want to die so badly, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
There was a ruthless look in Cassidy’s eyes as she laced her fingers together. “Messenger! Have the Heavenly Blood Divine Battle Squad investigate this matter at all costs! Also, request our tribe’s Great Divination Master, Feng Wuyan, to help with the investigation. While you’re at it, don’t forget to report this to Emperor Yi Deng!”
After issuing a string of commands, she called a male with her voice transmission talisman. “Oi, Tobias, some ignorant fool sabotaged the Holy Leader’s spy development project!
“Huh? You’re going to personally head over? You’ve only just broken through to the Return to Void Final Stage… Is your cultivation base stable? The enemy might be fairly powerful. Four Return to Void Stage cultivators were killed…
“What? You’re going to bring that thing over?
“Okay… I understand. The Holy Leader’s prestige can’t be tainted!”
A cold smile spread across Cassidy’s aloof face after she hung up the voice transmission talisman.
“Heh… No matter who you are, you’re dead meat!”
Cassidy was extremely confident, as she had already laid out an elaborate net. Even if the enemy were a supreme being of the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage, they still wouldn’t be able to escape from her grasp!
She had initially planned on gifting An Lin a present. Unexpectedly, however, an unknown enemy ruined her plans…
Right now, Cassidy was extremely pissed off!
After pondering for a moment, she transformed into a streak of red and shot into the sky!
…
“Achoo!” An Lin suddenly sneezed.
“Huh? You’re already at the Soul Formation Stage, how come you’re still sneezing?” Xu Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise.
An Lin rubbed his nose and chuckled. “Perhaps someone’s thinking of me.”
“Hmm…?” Xu Xiaolan dragged her voice out and stared at An Lin intensely with her clear eyes.
“I’m talking about my dog,” An Lin explained hurriedly. “Da Bai’s thinking of me!”
“Oh.”
The two of them flew toward Ling Can City on An Lin’s black brick. Although it wasn’t far—it was only tens of thousands of kilometers away—it would still take some time to get there. However, this wasn’t a big problem. They had been extremely stealthy in their escape, and there was almost zero chance of them being caught.
…
In the core region of the Dark Marshlands.
Inside the Divine Palace of Life.
Emperor Yi Deng fell silent after reading a message.
It appeared as though a supreme being of the Blood Tribe had slaughtered thousands of Blood Tribe cultivators during the Blood Tasting Festival in order to snatch a rare treasure…
In order to carry out such a massacre, several supreme beings of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage would be needed. Or perhaps one or more supreme beings of the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage?
As for the super mighty beings of the Dao Integration Stage…
If they fought in the Dark Marshlands, there was no way that he wouldn’t sense them.
In truth, annihilating entire sects in order to snatch treasures was a common occurrence in the Dark Marshlands. However, shocking events such as four supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage being killed at the same time was extremely rare.
The previous time that something similar had occurred was last year…
That was indeed a painful memory. Moreover, the Return to Void Stage cultivators who had been killed at that time were all supreme beings under his command.
Hang on! Last year?
A grim expression suddenly fell across Emperor Yi Deng’s face.
The end-of-semester examination for students of the Heavenly Court is also during this time, right?
Is this a coincidence, or…
After linking these pieces of information together, a shocking piece of speculation flashed through Emperor Yi Deng’s mind.
Boom!
A streak of red shot out from the Divine Palace of Life. It tore apart the void and streaked toward a certain location!
