Chapter 72 - 70: Blood Transformation Body Fourth Layer, the Great Battle Begins

Just as Ye Luo was leaving the Corpse Remains Death Land, Feixian Peak was locked down by the Inspection Hall.

Massive flying ships hovered over Feixian Peak, one each in the east, west, south, and north. Additionally, a hundred stewards, overseers, and elders from the surrounding peaks were urgently summoned, also piloting flying ships to guard the skies around Feixian Peak.

Even if a bird flew out, it would still be under surveillance.

Wen Jiu stood in the courtyard of his home, looking up at the scene, his thoughts were many, but what he thought about most was the corpse of Three Thousand Blood Inks and Gong Chi. He wondered how he could retrieve the corpse.

Or perhaps steal it back.

He might only succeed when Blood Robe Tower and those organized heterodox demons come to snatch the corpse.

Fortunately, there were Three Rivers Ghost Concealment and Blood Corpse Escape.

This is also why Wen Jiu dared to play this trump card.

At this moment, his sister Wen Ya arrived at Wen Jiu’s residence, and Wang Nian also returned from Feixian Peak.

"I heard something big happened?"

Sister Wen Ya had also apparently heard some things from the Xu Family, but even they didn’t know what happened.

This is normal.

Steward Xu had not yet returned.

Such confidential information was naturally impossible for the Xu Family to know.

Even if they did know, they definitely couldn’t speak, especially since there was no way to use the Silence Technique on his own sister.

"Sis, it’s okay, just stay here with me... If anything does happen, we’ll run."

Sister Wen Ya nodded quickly, "Mm-hmm, if something happens, I’ll run."

In sister Wen Ya’s view, no matter what happens at Feixian Peak, it has nothing to do with the brother and sister.

Little brother is only at Qi Cultivation Second Layer.

Getting involved would just be sending him to his death.

Better to run.

To be honest, he just feared his brother’s strong sense of belonging to the sect would have him rush in when something happens.

"Sis, you rest here at home, I’ll go see Brother Wang." Wen Jiu gave this advice as he turned and entered the Wang Family’s place.

Wang Nian saw Wen Jiu enter and immediately, exhausted, got up and hugged Wen Jiu tightly, "Brother, I almost didn’t make it back this time. That damn elder from the Spiritual Agriculture Department, that dog turned out to be a spy!"

"Brother Wang, are you okay?"

Wen Jiu was shocked inside.

Another spy was him?

The elder from the Spiritual Agriculture Department, who had been the deputy peak master, and Ji Qiubai’s trusted aide, turned out to be another spy.

Then everything made sense.

No wonder Ji Qiubai, as strong as he was, got poisoned in the Chen Clan Territory. By reasoning, having reached Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, he should have experienced many battles, yet he still fell for it; turns out it was done by his own trusted aide.

Wait a minute.

That means Ji Qiubai’s previous plan at the main peak, creating a fake corpse and luring Blood Robe Tower people into trying to snatch it, was actually carried out under someone else’s nose.

No.

If that’s the case, why did the Blood Robe Tower people still fall for it?

The reaction from Chen Family was real, and the reaction from Blood Robe Tower was also real. If it were a case of ’using the plan against the plot,’ it wouldn’t be possible to lure Feixian Peak people to Chen Clan Territory, nor would they lead them into the land of refined blood.

Could it be...

Wen Jiu suddenly thought of something – that token engraved with the words ’Celestial Left.’

Could it be that the Blood Robe Tower people, in fact, weren’t on the same side as the elder from the Spiritual Agriculture Department? Blood Robe Tower was merely a pawn?

Thinking of this, Wen Jiu felt everything made sense.

Seeing the matter at Blood Demon Abyss was, in fact, done by the elder from the Spiritual Agriculture Department’s group, and Blood Robe Tower was just one link.

"Fortunately, I played that trump card." Wen Jiu was secretly satisfied, his heart filled with excitement about going to the main peak.

The elder from the Spiritual Agriculture Department and his group certainly wouldn’t dare confront the main peak head-on, otherwise, they wouldn’t resort to such petty tricks. Thus, the main peak would be a safe place; as long as he stays within the sect, he can care less about anything else!

Putting aside his thoughts, Wen Jiu looked at Wang Nian, who was showing him the injury under his clothes, and quickly handed over two bottles of elixir pills for healing. Wang Nian’s injuries were actually not serious, just some superficial minor injuries.

The main issue was his magical power being depleted and mental exhaustion, so he appeared like he had just survived a disaster.

"Wait... Brother Wang, if I remember correctly, the elder from the Spiritual Agriculture Department’s granddaughter is among the hot candidates in this assessment, right?"

A thought flashed through Wen Jiu’s mind suddenly.

Wang Nian nodded with a sigh, "Of course, middle-grade spirit root, a little girl not even twenty and already at Qi Cultivation Second Layer... But after this incident, let alone participating in the assessment, she won’t even be able to keep her life."

"This..."

Regarding this rule, Wen Jiu didn’t think much of it.

If weeds aren’t eradicated, the spring breeze will allow them to grow again.

But if her family is innocent, then, more or less, it seems... turns out among Qi Refining Cultivators, there are also "heterodox demons."

A whole family.

All pawns disguised as identities,

Their wife, child might already be in despair.

Wang Nian also sighed, "If I were that old guy’s son, I’d probably go insane."

Wen Jiu nodded.

He didn’t doubt Wang Nian’s words.

Following that, Wen Jiu’s tone shifted again, asking about the Blood Demon Abyss matter, and Wang Nian’s first sentence verified Wen Jiu’s thoughts.

"Those bastards from Blood Robe Tower were initially chased by us everywhere, the Slaughter Flame Volcano was already stabilized by the array, but then some even stronger heterodox demons appeared from somewhere, who unexpectedly took out three top-tier one-grade talismans, not only breaking the array but directly reigniting the Slaughter Flame Volcano."

Speaking of this, Wang Nian was extremely angry.

Because now all the monsters in Blood Demon Abyss have escaped, there will be a lot of work to do.

And it’s uncertain how many people will die.
