Chapter 479: Hooked, Bet, Life and Death Arena
Chapter 479: Hooked, Bet, Life and Death Arena
Huizhou Prefecture, Council Hall.
Fu Yongyi stood in front of Liu Meizhen with a solemn expression.
"Mother, the mineral vein has been confirmed. It is a large-scale red sun stone mineral vein with rich reserves. It can be mined for at least sixty years."
Liu Meizhen tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, a gleam of brilliance flashed in her eyes: "What is the location of the mineral vein?"
"It's on the northern foot of the Brahma Volcano, bordering the Blood Demon Sect's territory." Fu Yongyi said in a deep voice, "I have asked Yongshou to temporarily guard it and block the news to prevent it from leaking out."
Liu Meizhen nodded slightly: "You did the right thing."
She pondered for a moment, a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes: "The Grand Elder of the Blood Demon Sect, Master Xue, is a veteran Jindan cultivator. Although his life span is coming to an end, his strength should not be underestimated. If he learns about the mineral vein, he will definitely fight for it."
Fu Yongyi nodded: "What does mother mean?"
Liu Meizhen's eyes turned cold: "To be safe, let's send a message to let Yongxuan return from the Luo family first."
Fu Yongxuan is now a Jindan cultivator.
If she is in charge, the Fu family will have more confidence.
"Also," Liu Meizhen continued, "you must immediately organize the disciples of the Formation Hall to go to the mine and set up a concealing formation to temporarily block the mine's aura to avoid alerting the Blood Demon Sect."
Fu Yongyi cupped his hands and said, "Yes, son, I'll do it right away."
Liu Meizhen looked at him and said in a slightly slower tone: "Yongyi, this matter is of great importance, so you must be cautious."
Fu Yongyi looked firm: "Don't worry, mother. I understand."
When Fu Yongyi returned to the mine with three formation masters, Fu Yongshou was sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, with several corpse puppets beside him guarding the surroundings.
"Brother!" Fu Yongshou stood up immediately when he saw him coming back. "How is it? What did mother say?"
Fu Yongyi whispered, "Mother has decided to let Yongxuan return to take charge. In addition, we need to set up a formation to conceal the aura of the mineral vein."
Fu Yongshou grinned: "I knew that mother would never give up such a large vein of minerals easily!"
Fu Yongyi turned around and said to the three people he brought:
“Yongcheng, Yonghua, Yongqing! Set up a triple concealment formation—the Earth Vein Soul Locking Formation, the Illusion Mist Mystery Formation, and the Blood Evil Blindness Formation. Make sure to block the mineral vein’s aura!”
"Yes!"
The three of them responded in unison, then dispersed and began to form their formation.
Fu Yongcheng held the formation plate in his hand, with spiritual light flickering on his fingertips. Spiritual patterns flowed out from his hands and merged into the earth veins.
"Earth Vein Soul Locking Formation - Start!"
The ground shook slightly, and countless spiritual patterns wrapped around the veins like chains, firmly blocking the aura of the Red Sun Stone.
Then, Fu Yonghua deployed the Illusion Mist Maze Array, and a light mist rose from the periphery of the mineral vein. If a cultivator approached, he would be trapped in an illusion and would find it difficult to detect the location of the mineral vein.
Finally, Fu Yongqing activated the Blood Evil Blindness Array, which simulated the unique blood evil aura of the Blood Evil Sect. Even if there were cultivators investigating, they would mistakenly think that it was a restriction set up by the Blood Evil Sect.
Fu Yongyi stood aside, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "The superposition of the three arrays is enough to conceal the truth."
Fu Yongshou was stunned: "The methods of the Formation Hall are really powerful!"
Fu Yongcheng withdrew his hand and said calmly: "The formation is complete, but it needs regular maintenance to prevent it from being seen through by high-level cultivators."
Fu Yongyi nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
The three of them bowed and said, "It is only natural that we should serve the family."
A dark red figure appeared silently on the outskirts of the mine. It was the supreme elder of the Blood Evil Sect - Master Xue!
His skinny body stood on the top of the mountain, his scarlet eyes coldly scanning the mineral veins below, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Concealing the formation? Ha, a trivial trick."
Before he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and a blood-red streak slammed into the phantom mist maze array outside the mine!
"boom--"
The formation shook violently, and most of the fog dissipated instantly!
Fu Yongyi raised his head suddenly, his expression changed suddenly: "Not good! Someone broke into the formation by force!"
Fu Yongshou also stood up suddenly, and the corpse puppet beside him instantly entered combat mode: "Brother, what's going on?"
Fu Yongyi looked solemn: "Anyone who can shake the Illusion Mist Formation with one strike must be at least a Jindan cultivator!"
The two looked at each other, and a name appeared in their minds at the same time -
Blood Master!
"Let's go! Let's go out and take a look!" Fu Yongyi gritted his teeth.
Master Xue stood with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the triple-layer concealment formation in front of him, sneering, "Earth Vein Soul Locking Formation? Blood Evil Blindness Formation? Ha, the Fu family is really cautious."
He raised his hand and waved it, and blood-colored spiritual power surged out like a tide, directly attacking the blood-obstructing formation!
"Click——"
The runes of the formation collapsed piece by piece, and the bloody evil spirit was torn apart!
Master Xue stood with his hands behind his back, bloody murderous energy surging around him. His scarlet eyes coldly glanced at Fu Yongyi and the others, and a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"A mere array set up by a Purple Mansion cultivator thinks you can stop me?"
He did not kill them directly, but carefully scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense - if the Fu family had a golden elixir lying in ambush, he might face backlash if he acted rashly!
"Get lost." Master Xue's voice was hoarse, but it carried an unquestionable pressure. "From today on, this mineral vein belongs to our Xuesha Sect."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yongshou's eyes turned red and his fists clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound. "Bullshit! We were the first to discover this mineral vein. Who do you think you are?!"
He slapped the storage bag violently, and three corpse puppets at the peak of Purple Mansion level rushed out instantly, with murderous aura rising to the sky, heading straight for Master Xue!
"Yongshou! Stop it!" Fu Yongyi shouted, grabbed Fu Yongshou's shoulders and whispered, "Don't be impulsive!"
Fu Yongshou gritted his teeth and said, "Brother! We have worked so hard for more than two years, are we just going to give it up like this?!"
A hint of coldness flashed in Fu Yongyi's eyes: "If you fight now, you will only die in vain!"
Seeing them arguing, Master Xue sneered, "Why? Do you want to try my tricks?"
He raised his fingertips slightly, and a wisp of blood-colored spiritual power coiled out like a poisonous snake, instantly erasing the imprint of Fu Yongshou's spiritual consciousness in the corpse puppet!
"puff--"
Fu Yongshou groaned, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth!
Fu Yongyi's face was gloomy, but he suppressed his anger and said with a folded hand: "Since Master Xue has already taken action, we should retreat."
Master Xue narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile: "You are quite sensible."
Fu Yongyi said no more and pulled Fu Yongshou to retreat quickly. The other Fu family cultivators also followed and quickly evacuated the mine range.
Master Xue looked at their departing figures, his eyes narrowed slightly, "You know how to judge the situation. It seems that the rise of the Fu family is not just due to the efforts of Fu Changsheng alone."
However, just as the Fu family retreated halfway -
"Shh!"
A white figure flashed across the sky like a startled wild goose and arrived in an instant!
Fu Yongxuan finally arrived!
She was dressed in fluttering white clothes, and the spiritual energy around her was as cold as frost and snow. The pressure of the golden elixir was released without any concealment, and collided with the bloody evil spirit of Master Xue!
"Master Xue, it is too despicable to bully the weak with your strength." Fu Yongxuan's voice was cold and his eyes were like swords.
Master Xue's pupils shrank slightly, and he was secretly shocked - this woman's aura was even stronger than the rumors said!
But he didn't show it on his face, and sneered: "Fu Yongxuan, you came at the right time. I want to see what qualifications your Fu family has to monopolize this mine!"
Fu Yongxuan did not take action directly, but looked at Fu Yongyi and others and said calmly: "You retreat first."
Fu Yongyi nodded and led everyone in the Fu family to retreat quickly to a safe distance.
Fu Yongshou said unwillingly: "Yongxuan, this old man is going too far!"
Fu Yongxuan's face turned cold when he heard this:
"Don't worry, I will seek justice for you!"
Blood Master's eyes flashed with blood, and murderous aura surged around him. He sneered and said, "Young man from the Fu family, since you insist on fighting, I will let you see what the old-fashioned golden elixir foundation is!"
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and a long blood-red banner swelled in the wind. Blood patterns on the banner wriggled, as if thousands of wronged souls were wailing - a fourth-level, intermediate-grade magic weapon, the Blood Soul Banner!
"go with!"
Master Xue shouted loudly, and the Blood Soul Banner suddenly unfolded. Countless bloody evil spirits turned into hideous ghost shadows, rushing towards Fu Yongxuan!
Fu Yongxuan's expression remained unchanged. He flipped his hand and a crystal clear ice mirror appeared in his palm - a fourth-level inferior magic weapon, the Xuanyin Heart-Protecting Mirror!
"Om-"
The mirror surface was glowing, and a layer of frost barrier condensed instantly. The bloody ghost shadows hit the ice mirror and melted away like snow meeting the scorching sun!
Master Xue's pupils shrank slightly. "Xuan Yin Heart Mirror? The masterpiece of the old nun Qiu Yue is in your hands?"
Fu Yongxuan did not answer. Instead, he put his other hand together and pointed his fingers like a sword. A long sword that was as white as frost and had moonlight flowing on the blade appeared out of thin air - a fourth-level intermediate magic weapon, the Cold Moon Condensing Frost Sword!
"cut!"
She made a sword gesture, and the Hanyue Ningshuang Sword turned into a cold stream of light and went straight for Master Xue's throat!
Master Xue snorted coldly, and shook the Blood Soul Banner violently. The banner surface was like a shield, taking the sword head-on!
"clang--"
The sound of metal clashing rang out, the cold moon sword energy and the blood evil energy collided violently, the surrounding rocks collapsed, and the air wave swept across!
Master Xue made hand gestures with both hands, blood mist swirled around him, and he shouted sternly: "Blood Evil Soul Devouring Technique!"
In an instant, countless blood threads burst out from his body and coiled around Fu Yongxuan like poisonous snakes. Even the spiritual energy was corroded wherever it passed!
Fu Yongxuan's eyes condensed, and the Frost-Frost Sword drew a circle in the air, and the moonlight on the sword shone brightly -
"Frosty Moonlight!"
"Shh-"
A bright sword light fell like a moon, and the blood threads were cut off as soon as they touched it. The sword force did not decrease, and it went straight to the face of Master Xue!
Master Xue quickly turned sideways, and the sword light brushed past his shoulder, leaving a trace of frost on his robe.
"What a sharp sword intent!" Master Xue was secretly surprised. "Although this girl has just entered the Golden Core stage, her control over water spirit power is so exquisite!"
He didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. He slapped his storage bag and took out a blood-colored bone bead - a fourth-level lower-grade magic weapon, the Blood Marrow Bead!
"burst!"
The blood marrow bead exploded in the air, and the blood mist in the sky turned into countless blood needles as thin as cow hairs, shooting towards Fu Yongxuan!
Fu Yongxuan was not in a hurry. He held the Xuanyin Heart-Protecting Mirror above his head. The mirror surface glowed with a surge of light, transforming into an ice crystal barrier that blocked all the blood needles.
At the same time, her sword techniques changed again, and the Hanyue Ningshuang Sword split into three sword shadows, attacking Master Xue from different angles!
"Splitting the light into shadows?" Master Xue's face changed, and he hurriedly activated the Blood Soul Banner to protect his body, but his arm was still cut by a sword shadow. Before the blood could flow out, it was frozen by the cold air!
"hiss--"
Master Xue sucked in a breath of cold air, and was horrified: "This woman is so powerful! If we continue to fight, even if I can win, I will be seriously injured!"
His life span is almost over. If he loses his energy and blood in this battle, I'm afraid his life span will be further reduced!
Thinking of this, Master Xue suddenly retreated a hundred feet, raised his hand and shouted, "Stop!"
Fu Yongxuan paused with his sword, his eyes cold as frost: "What? Master Xue wants to admit defeat?"
Master Xue's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fu Yongxuan, I admit that I underestimated you. But do you really think you can defend this mine on your own?"
He smiled sinisterly: "If I am determined to die here today, do you think you can escape unscathed?!"
Fu Yongxuan's eyes moved slightly, and he weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Seeing this, Master Xue took advantage of the situation and said, "Why don't we both take a step back and share the mine?"
Fu Yongxuan sneered: "The mineral vein was discovered by my Fu family first. It's ridiculous for you to ask for it to be shared between the two families."
As he said that, he was about to attack again!
Seeing that Fu Yongxuan's killing intent was still strong, Master Xue felt anxious and said in a deep voice:
"Fu Yongxuan! This is the border area. If our two families fight to the death, both will suffer losses! Why not try a different approach - each of us will send three Purple Mansion cultivators to determine the ownership of the mineral vein by the outcome of the fight!"
Fu Yongxuan paused his sword and stared at Master Xue with cold eyes: "Oh? How do you want to compete?"
Master Xue smiled grimly: "Three months later, our two families will each send out three Purple Mansion monks, and the winner will win the mineral vein! How do you think?"
Fu Yongxuan pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind——
If he continued to fight to the death, although Master Xue's life would be over, he might not be able to escape unscathed if he fought to the death.
And if they agree to the duel, the Fu family’s Purple Mansion cultivators have strong foundation and may not lose!
Thinking of this, she said coldly:
“You can compete.
However, this mineral vein was first discovered by our Fu family. No matter what the result is, our Fu family must first occupy a 30% share.
In addition, if our Fu family wins, in addition to the mineral vein belonging to us, your Blood Demon Sect will also have to give out a fourth-level low-grade blood jade fruit."
The blood jade fruit is unique to the Blood Demon Sect.
The blood jade tree takes a thousand years to mature, and then only bears fruit once every hundred years.
Obviously.
Fu Yongxuan didn't want the Blood Evil Sect to get something for nothing!
A trace of thought flashed in Master Xue's eyes. If he remembered correctly, the head of the Fu family mentioned that apart from Fu Yongxuan who was a Golden Core, only the head of the Fu family, Fu Changsheng, had the highest cultivation level, which was at the peak of the Purple Mansion. However, the other party had already gone into seclusion and was probably trying to reach the Golden Core stage.
This Fu family.
There is no one to fight at all.
He immediately smiled sinisterly and said:
"Friend Fu is a straightforward person. In that case, I cannot be too stingy. In addition to fulfilling Friend Fu's request, I can also give you an extra blood jade fruit!"
The fourth-level blood jade fruit is of great benefit even to cultivators in the early stage of the golden elixir.
Obviously.
Master Xue didn't think that the Fu family could win this competition at all.
Say it.
He waved his sleeves, bloody aura surged, and his figure turned into a blood rainbow and fled into the distance.
Fu Yongxuan watched him leave with deep eyes, and the Hanyue Ningshuang sword slowly returned to its sheath.
Fu Yongyi and others quickly stepped forward, and Fu Yongshou said unwillingly: "Yongxuan, are you just going to let him go like this?"
Fu Yongxuan said calmly: "Although Master Xue is old, if he fights hard, I will not be able to escape unscathed. Now the battle for the mineral vein has turned into a battle for the Purple Palace, which may not be disadvantageous to us."
Fu Yongyi nodded: "Indeed, if the fight continues, even if we win, the Fu family will be seriously injured."
Fu Yongxuan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "We must win the competition in three months!"
Fu Yongshou clenched his fist, his eyes full of fighting spirit: "Don't worry, Yongxuan, I will definitely win this game!"
Fu Yongxuan nodded slightly, and then said: "You should return home quickly and report this to your mother, so that she can select the best person to participate in the battle."
"Yes"
-
The Fu family meeting hall.
In the hall, the spiritual fire on the bronze candlesticks flickered slightly, reflecting the solemn faces of the people. The sandalwood incense curled up, but it could not dispel the solemn atmosphere.
Liu Meizhen sat in the main seat, wearing a black robe and a jade hairpin in her hair, looking majestic in her simplicity. She tapped the table with her fingertips, and after listening to Fu Yongyi's report, a deep cold light flashed in her eyes:
"Master Xue proposed a duel in the Purple Mansion. It seemed like he was giving in, but in fact, he was hiding murderous intentions."
Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, but it was like ice water poured into everyone's hearts.
"He dares to bet on the mineral vein, so he must have something to rely on."
——The Blood Demon Sect, a thousand-year-old demon sect with a profound foundation, how could they give in easily?
It is even more impossible to give away two blood jade fruits for nothing.
Fu Yongshou stood up suddenly, his black robe fluttering, his eyes burning with fighting spirit: "Mother! Let me fight!"
He slammed his fist on the table, causing the teacup to tremble slightly.
"Although I lost a third-level corpse puppet, I still have two purple mansion peak corpse puppets! With the help of the "Xuan Yin Corpse Refining Technique", I may not lose!"
Liu Meizhen's eyes were slightly cold, and she shook her head slowly: "No."
Her voice was calm, but unquestionable: "Since Master Xue knows that you are good at refining corpses, he will definitely make targeted arrangements. If your corpse puppet is broken again, the Fu family will lose a game directly."
Fu Yongshou gritted his teeth, his knuckles clenched white, veins bulging: "But..."
Fu Yongyi stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder, whispering: "Mother is right, this battle is about the ownership of the mineral vein, we can't act on impulse."
——The Blood Demon Sect’s methods have always been vicious and cruel, how could they not have a back-up plan?
Fu Changli stood up slowly, her dark green dress was like a deep pool in the night, her eyes were as cold as frost: "Madam, I can go to fight."
She raised her fingertips slightly, a ray of spiritual light flowed, and a faint buzzing sound came from her sleeves - that was the sound of the soul-eating insect flapping its wings.
"I have completely controlled the thirty-four third-level soul-eating insects left by the patriarch." She raised her lips slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "With the addition of the blue phoenix, even if we face the fake pill cultivator, we will have the strength to fight!"
Liu Meizhen nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in her eyes: "Soul Devouring Insects are good at countering spiritual power, and the Blue Luan Phoenix is unparalleled in speed. They are indeed good choices."
"but"
"This battle is about life and death. The Blood Demon Sect's methods are ruthless. Have you thought it through?" Fu Changli raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Madam, don't worry, I have confidence."
——Once the soul-eating insects appear, the spiritual power of the Blood Evil Sect will become their food!
There was a pause.
Fu Changli continued:
"In addition, I recommend Mu Wan to fight!"
"She uses Gu magic to control the sixteen Purple Mansion elders of the Heavenly Wolf Tribe. The Gu magic is so treacherous and unpredictable that the Blood Demon Sect has no idea what she is doing!"
Liu Meizhen pondered for a moment, then tapped the table with her fingertips, making a regular "tap, tap" sound:
"Mu Wan is indeed a good candidate. Her witchcraft is indeed unpredictable and can be used as a surprise attack. But this battle... regardless of life or death, it still needs her consent."
As for the last candidate, everyone discussed:
"Why not let Grandpa Fei fight? He is a veteran of Zifu and has a lot of experience..."
"Uncle Chang Lei is also quite capable in combat. He is a dual practitioner of magic and body."
"If Yaoyao doesn't want to be in seclusion, then I can consider it."
"."
However, Liu Meizhen slowly stood up, her eyes as deep as the abyss:
"I will personally fight in this battle."
The hall was instantly silent, and everyone looked surprised.
Liu Meizhen usually either makes elixirs or handles miscellaneous affairs, and no one has ever seen her take action!
Fu Changli frowned slightly and said worriedly:
“Madam, the Blood Demon Sect is insidious and cunning. If they send out a fake Dan Peak cultivator…”
Liu Meizhen smiled calmly, and a light flashed from her sleeves:
"Changli, when have you ever seen me do something I'm not sure of?"
"Our candidates for this battle must also be kept secret. We must not let the Blood Demon Sect find out the details first."
"Yes"
Everyone agreed.
Liu Meizhen turned to look at Fu Yongrui and said in a deep voice, "Yongrui, mobilize the Dark Hall immediately and make sure to find out the details of the three cultivators from the Blood Demon Sect who are participating in this battle as soon as possible."
Fu Yongrui clasped his fists solemnly: "Yes!"
Know thyself, ever-victorious!
In the pitch-black stone hall, the senior members of the Blood Demon Sect gathered together, and the atmosphere was solemn and dignified. Master Xue sat high in the main seat, scanning the crowd with his scarlet eyes, and his voice was as hoarse as the rubbing of a dead tree:
"The reason why I summoned you all here today is because of the Red Sun Stone Mine."
"The young man from the Fu family has made a condition." The old demon's hoarse voice seemed to come from the underworld, "Three duels will determine the ownership of the mineral vein."
Sect Leader Xue frowned, took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Grand Elder, the Fu family is only Fu Yongxuan who has just entered the Golden Core stage. Why should we give in? We can just seize the mine directly!"
Master Xue snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with blood: "Seize by force? Humph, if you could really take it easily, this mineral vein would have long been owned by my Xuesha Sect!"
Sect Leader Xue paused, his expression changed slightly, but he did not dare to refute.
A gleam of brilliance flashed in the young sect master's eyes, and he immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Grand Elder, I am willing to fight and win this mine for the sect!"
However, Master Xue did not even look at him, but said indifferently: "Your realm is still shallow, this battle is of no small importance."
The young master's face froze, but he quickly lowered his head, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Master Xue looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "For this competition, each of the three families will send three Purple Mansions. To ensure that everything goes well, the ones our sect sends out must have the cultivation level of Fake Dan!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!
The fake elixir cultivator is a half-step golden elixir cultivator. On the basis of the peak of the purple mansion realm, he has condensed a wisp of golden elixir prototype. Although he has not truly entered the golden elixir realm, his strength is far beyond that of an ordinary purple mansion peak cultivator!
"The winner will receive a fourth-grade lower-quality blood jade fruit!"
Blood jade fruit!
The Blood Demon Sect's unique treasure can not only refine blood, but also help cultivators stabilize the false elixir realm, and even has a certain help in impacting the golden elixir realm!
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall exploded, and everyone's eyes were burning with passion!
“Grand Elder, I am willing to fight for our sect!” A white-haired Jiadan elder suddenly stood up, with blood boiling around him. It was the chief elder of the inner sect of the Blood Evil Sect - Xue Tuzi!
"Hmph, Blood Butcher, although you are powerful, your life span is coming to an end. It is better for you to let me do it!" Another middle-aged monk with a sinister face stood up with a sneer. He was the master of the Law Enforcement Hall - Blood Eagle!
Even Sect Leader Xue couldn't hold back and said in a deep voice: "Grand Elder, I can also fight!"
Master Xue glanced at everyone, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "Okay, since everyone is willing to contribute to the sect, let's give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it. A blood-colored pressure came down with a crash, and the spiritual pressure of the fake pill level pressed down like a mountain!
——This is a test!
Everyone fought back with all their might, but soon, several turned pale and were forced to retreat. In the end, only three people were still able to stand firmly:
Xue Tuzi - the chief elder of the inner sect of Xue Sha Sect, who is at the peak of the false elixir realm and has fierce combat power. He once destroyed a small sect by himself!
Blood Eagle - the leader of the Law Enforcement Hall, is proficient in the secret art of blood evil, as fast as a ghost, and his assassination skills are the best in the sect!
The Blood Sect Leader - Although he is the leader of a sect, he is equally powerful, with the cultivation level of the late stage of Fake Dan, and he controls the Blood Sect's supreme technique, "The Blood Evil Canon"!
Master Xue nodded with satisfaction and said slowly, "Just the three of you."
The young master stood aside with an extremely gloomy expression, but he did not dare to say much.
Master Xue looked at him with a deep gaze, and said sternly: "In this battle, we can only win, not lose!"
The three of them shouted in unison: "As you command!"
After the meeting, the Blood Sect leader walked into his room with a sullen expression. He waved his broad hand, and the door slammed shut. The forbidden rune was instantly activated, completely isolating the inside and the outside. He stood still for a moment, bloodshot in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, he said coldly: "Someone come."
The disciple standing outside the door immediately responded respectfully: "Master, what do you want?"
"Call the young master over here."
Not long after, the young master of the sect pushed open the door and walked in. He was wearing a blood-red robe, with a bit of arrogance between his brows. He clasped his fists and saluted: "Father, are you looking for me?"
Sect Leader Xue stood with his back to him, his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice: "Go check who the three people from the Fu family who are participating in this battle are."
The young master was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Father, why bother? Those useless people of the Fu family, what strong people can they have? Those who are fighting are all fake Dan Daxiu, it is more than enough to crush them!"
The Blood Sect Leader slowly turned around, his eyes flashing with blood, and said in a grim tone: "Foolish! Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger. Do you think fighting on the battlefield is a joke?"
The young master was frightened by this pressure, his face changed slightly, but he still whispered unwillingly: "Father, you are worrying too much. Even if they send a few peak Purple Mansion masters, they are just ants in front of the fake pills..."
Sect Leader Xue snorted coldly: "I asked you to investigate, not to talk nonsense here!"
The young master gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to lower his head and agree: "...Yes, I will do it right away."
Fu Family Tingfeng Pavilion
In the dark night, Fu Yongrui walked quickly through the corridor, his robe making a rushing sound. He held a jade slip tightly in his hand.
"Squeak—"
Pushing open the door of the inner room, Liu Meizhen was sitting at the desk, holding a cup of tea in her hand, the curling hot steam reflected her calm face.
"Mother!" Fu Yongrui said in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes, "The candidate for the Blood Demon Sect has been found."
Liu Meizhen raised her eyes and gently put down the teacup: "Speak."
Fu Yongrui took a deep breath and handed over the jade slip: "The three people sent by the Blood Demon Sect this time are all ruthless characters with fake Dan cultivation!"
He pointed his finger, and three blood-red shadows appeared in the jade slip, with a sinister aura.
"Xue Tuzi - the great elder of the Xue Sha Sect!"
"This man broke into the Qinglan Sect alone a hundred years ago and slaughtered more than 300 people in the sect overnight. He even turned the half-step golden elixir ancestor of the Qinglan Sect into a blood puppet!"
"It is said that he has mastered the Blood Evil Soul Refining Art. When he attacks, the blood energy is overwhelming and can corrode the soul of a cultivator. An ordinary purple palace cultivator cannot survive more than three breaths under his attack!"
"Blood Eagle——Head of the Blood Demon Sect's Law Enforcement Hall"
"This person is good at assassination. He once lurked in the Xuanjian Sect for three months. In the end, he killed the leader of the Xuanjian Sect in full view of everyone and escaped unscathed!"
"His 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique' is as fast as a ghost. Almost no cultivator of the same level can catch his trail. Once he targets you, you will surely die!"
"The third person is the current leader of the Blood Demon Sect!"
When Liu Meizhen heard this, her pupils shrank.
She never expected that the sect leader would personally take action.
"Mother, although this man is the leader of a sect, his strength is equally terrifying! One hundred and thirty years ago, he suppressed the rebellion of the Yin Corpse Cult by himself, and refined three fake pill elders into blood pills. After swallowing them, his cultivation level skyrocketed!"
"He is practicing the Blood Evil Sect's sect-defining technique, the Blood Evil Canon. It is said that he has already cultivated it to the seventh level. Once the blood evil energy is released, it can corrode the spirituality of magic weapons!"
The more Fu Yongrui spoke, the uglier his expression became: "Mother, these three people... are too powerful! I'm afraid the Purple Mansion cultivators from our Fu family who are participating in the battle will be unable to contend with them!"
Liu Meizhen's eyes flickered slightly, and her fingertips tapped the table lightly: "What do you mean?"
Fu Yongrui gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I suggest - ask father to come out of confinement!"
"If father doesn't take action, we will definitely lose this battle!"
Liu Meizhen flatly rejected it: "My husband is in seclusion to strive for the golden elixir. Unless the family's survival is at stake, no one is allowed to disturb him!"
"It's my son Meng Lang."
Fu Yongrui was also anxious for a moment. His father's Dan formation was the top priority of the clan, so naturally he could not be disturbed.
Fu Yongrui gritted his teeth and said:
"Mother, if it really doesn't work, we can ask Senior Luo Haitang to help us set up a fourth-order protective array to encircle the mineral vein while we still have time. This way, even if Master Xue takes action, he won't be able to do anything. We were the first to discover this mineral vein. There's no need to make any promises to a demon sect like the Blood Demon Sect."
“No.”
Liu Meizhen's voice was soft but firm.
Fu Yongrui raised his head suddenly: "Mother! Can..."
"Yongrui." Liu Meizhen interrupted him, her voice as calm as a cold pond, "A few days ago, the Zhenshi Division sent new news about the canonization of the aristocratic family."
Seeing her son's puzzled expression, she continued, "His Majesty has already come out of seclusion, and the imperial edict to confer the title of Sixth Rank to our Fu family is on the way. In a few months at the shortest, or half a year at the longest, our Fu family will be able to truly join the ranks of the Sixth Rank."
Fu Yongrui's pupils shrank.
Sixth Rank Family! This means
"If we break our promise now," Liu Meizhen flicked her fingertips, and a piece of tea leaves floated in the teacup, "in the future when we negotiate with other forces, this will be remembered forever, and it will greatly affect the reputation that our Fu family has worked so hard to accumulate."
The air in the room seemed to be stagnant. Fu Yongrui's Adam's apple rolled, but he couldn't make a sound.
"Besides." Liu Meizhen suddenly turned around, and a cold fragrance came from her sleeves. "Old Monster Xue's life span is coming to an end. If a dying person is really forced into a corner..."
Fu Yongrui broke out in a cold sweat. He remembered that three years ago, when an elder of the Blood Demon Sect was cornered, he blew himself up and took three hostile Purple Mansions with him.
"As for the fourth-level protective formation." Liu Meizhen suddenly sneered, "Do you think I don't want to use it? Now that the family is building fiefdoms everywhere, the fourth-level materials have long been exhausted."
Reality.
The most important thing is.
All the fourth-level array materials were used in the interstate teleportation array. Now in the clan library, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to want to gather the array stones for the fourth-level array in a short time.
Beads of sweat oozed from Fu Yongrui's forehead. Only then did he realize how difficult the family's current situation was.
"Go do something." Liu Meizhen suddenly changed the subject, "Send out the list of contestants."
"What?" Fu Yongrui almost jumped up, "Isn't this..."
"Just say it's me, Changli, and Muwan." Liu Meizhen completely ignored her son's shock and spoke in an unquestionable tone.
Fu Yongrui said anxiously: "Mother! This way the other party can..."
"Go do it." Liu Meizhen turned and looked out the window, leaving him with only her straight back.
Fu Yongrui opened his mouth and finally bowed deeply: "Yes."
When he left the inner room, he heard his mother whisper something, but when he listened carefully, it seemed like an illusion. Only the night wind blew through the corridor, carrying a faint sigh.
a few days later
The young master walked into the Xue headmaster's room with a bit of sarcasm on his face, and said with a fist: "Father, I have found out that the Fu family members who participated in the battle this time are Liu Meizhen, Fu Changli and Gan Muwan."
"Liu Meizhen?" Sect Leader Xue frowned slightly, "That alchemist?"
The young master sneered: "Yes, the Fu family actually sent three women to fight. How ridiculous! It seems that all the men in the Fu family are dead, and they can't even produce a decent cultivator!"
Sect Leader Xue did not look down on him like he did, but instead looked at him with a deep gaze and said slowly: "Although Liu Meizhen is an alchemist, her cultivation has reached the late Purple Mansion stage, and she has been in charge of the Fu family for many years, so she is definitely not a simple character."
The young sect master disagreed: "She is just an alchemist, how strong can she be? Can she kill our fake alchemist with her elixirs?"
Sect Leader Xue glanced at him coldly and continued to ask, "Where are the other two?"
"One is Fu Changli, a beastmaster of the younger generation of the Fu family. It is said that he raises a group of troublesome spiritual insects. The other is Gan Muwan, who was born in a defeated family and fled to the Fu family. She has no foundation or background, but is said to be a Gu cultivator."
"Gu cultivator?" Sect Leader Xue's eyes narrowed, and he immediately took out a yellowed ancient book from his storage ring, flipping through it quickly, and soon stopped at a certain page, with a bloody light flashing in his eyes.
“Gu cultivator… As expected!” he said in a deep voice, “Send the order, have Xue Tu Zi and Xue Ying come over. I have something to tell you.”
The young master was startled: "Father, what are you doing..."
"The Gu cultivators have treacherous methods, and the Beast Tamers can also control spirit insects. We must be prepared for their methods." Sect Leader Xue sneered, "The Fu family thought they could win by sending three women? How naive!"
He closed the file, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "This time, I will make them never come back!"
Huixi County border.
The dark clouds were as dark as ink, pressing heavily on the sky, as if to crush the entire Chiyang Mountains. Suddenly, a stream of green light tore through the darkness, and the warship broke through the clouds, with the "Fu" battle flag on the bow fluttering wildly, and the thirty-six spirit crystal cannons glowing coldly. The defense formation "Qing Gang Xuan Jia" flowed on the hull, forming a translucent barrier to block all prying eyes.
Liu Meizhen stood at the bow, her dark robe fluttering in the wind, and the jade hairpin in her hair flickering slightly. Her face was as calm as water, but her eyes were sharp. Behind her, a wisp of gray mist was wrapped around Fu Changli's fingertips, and the soul-eating insects kept hissing; Gan Muwan's Gu bag on her waist was slightly agitated, as if there were living things whispering. Thirty Fu family foundation-building monks stood in formation, and the murderous aura rose to the sky.
——The March deadline has arrived. Today, the mine will be owned by you, and one battle will decide the outcome!
-
"boom--!"
The warship hovered over the rift valley of the mineral vein. The red crystals below fell under the pressure. The air was filled with the pungent smell of fire and blood. Fu Yongxuan, who had been waiting here for a long time, stepped on the sword and stood up. Twenty Fu family monks stood behind him. There were seven formation flags on the ground, which vaguely formed the "Seven Star Soul Locking Formation" to prevent accidents.
On the other side——
True Man Xue sat cross-legged on a rolling blood cloud, and beside him were three fake Dan monks with rising blood and murderous aura. Sect Leader Xue stood on one side with a gloomy look, while the young sect leader folded his arms and sneered, his eyes full of contempt.
"All the men in the Fu family are dead?" The young master sneered, threw out a bloody banquet invitation, and said loudly: "This young master has even prepared a celebration banquet! The first dish is called 'Purple Mansion Female Cultivator Stewed Spirit Meat', I wonder if the three of you are satisfied?"
There was a sudden burst of laughter in the Blood Evil Sect's formation, and hundreds of disciples even came forward carrying pickaxes, as if they had already regarded the mineral vein as something in their pockets.
"Noisy."
Liu Meizhen waved her sleeves, a green light flashed, and the banquet invitation turned into powder in an instant. The shadow of Qingluan passed by Fu Changli's shoulder, and the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect who were carrying mining picks suddenly hugged their heads and howled, bleeding from all seven orifices - their consciousness was injured by Fengming!
Gan Muwan flicked her finger lightly, and a transparent poisonous insect silently entered the nostril of a laughing disciple. Three breaths later, the man suddenly knelt on the ground, a pool of wriggling black insect eggs spurted out of his mouth, and he screamed miserably.
Everyone watching the fight gasped when they saw this.
-
"enough!"
Master Xue shouted coldly, raised his hand and waved it, a blood curtain appeared in the sky, separating the pressure from both sides. He looked at Fu Yongxuan with a gloomy look, "Young friend from the Fu family, it's time to fulfill the agreement, right?"
Fu Yongxuan cut his palm with his fingers, and a drop of blood fell. The bone contract suspended in the air vibrated and hummed.
"The winner gets the mineral vein, the loser is forbidden to touch it forever - those who violate the rules will have their souls devoured by the inner demon!"
"boom--!"
The two golden elixir pressures collided with a loud bang, bones exploded, golden runes flew all over the sky, turned into phantom shackles, and sank into the brows of both parties.
——The blood contract of heavenly punishment has been completed!
...
Patriarch Wu stood in the spectator seat, frowning, his knuckles tapping unconsciously on the white jade armrest. He was the helmsman of the Fu family's marriage family, so he naturally knew the details of the Fu family.
"The Fu family was too reckless this time." He whispered to the elder beside him, "Although Liu Meizhen is the head of the family, I have never heard of her fighting with others. An alchemist going to the life and death arena? Isn't this courting death?"
The elder smiled bitterly: "The Fu family has always been like this, never willing to give in. But the three fake Dan of the Blood Demon Sect are all notorious. If they really fight, the Fu family may..."
The head of the Wu clan shook his head and sighed: "Fu Changsheng is in seclusion to strive for the golden elixir. If he comes out and finds out that Liu Meizhen was killed, he will definitely go crazy and seek revenge. By then, the two families will fight a bloody battle. If the Fu family loses, then our Wu family will have to face the pressure of the Blood Demon Sect directly in the future."
Marry into the Fu family.
In addition to being optimistic about the potential of the Fu family, he also wanted to form an alliance to fight against the Blood Demon Sect.
however.
I am afraid that the initial investment will be in vain.
He looked towards the Fu family warship. Liu Meizhen looked calm, as if she had no fear of the impending life-and-death battle.
"Well, if we just admit defeat and take 30% of the mineral veins, we can at least save our family. Why bother to be so stubborn?"
