Ordinary person: What to do with unused treasures? (On Zhuanzhuan)

Chapter 46 Black Fiend Cult

One day later.

Qingwen and Tieluo returned to the Yue Kingdom's palace through the underground passage and appeared in front of the Bamboo Forest Hall.

Pushing open the door, the two walked one after the other toward a huge screen.

After turning the mechanism on the screen, a dark, hidden passage appeared at the bottom of the wall.

Without saying anything more, the two went down the stairs and disappeared into the dark passage.

Shortly after the two disappeared, the underground passage returned to its original state, appearing from the outside no different from an ordinary palace.

underground.

Qingwen and the other arrived at a tightly closed palace gate, one after the other.

As soon as the two stood still, the palace door creaked open by itself, revealing an underground palace with a faint candlelight flickering within.

Without hesitation, the two walked directly into the palace gate.

Upon entering, the two saw a familiar figure sitting upright on a futon beside the blood pool.

"What are you doing here?"

"Where's that Leaf Snake kid?!"

The bald, burly man, Tie Luo, frowned and asked.

"He received orders from the leader to go to the Huangzhushan branch to handle some important matters."

"Therefore, the remaining matters here can only be left to me to handle."

On the futon, a cold figure spoke without turning his head.

"How's it going?"

Qingwen asked.

The question he asked was none other than the unconscious cultivator bound by black iron before him.

The opponent is, after all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and from a reputable sect at that! We can't afford to be careless...

Although this person was already in a coma with serious injuries when he was found, as long as he had a breath left, no one could be sure what the final outcome would be.

"Don't you trust me to handle things?"

"This person was previously placed under a soul restriction by the sect leader. Even if he breaks free immediately, he will probably be unable to leave this palace and will remain under someone else's control."

"Now, my Fourfold Frost Restriction has forcibly sealed his dantian..."

"Now, let alone cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, even those in the Pseudo-Core stage of Foundation Establishment will be at our mercy."

The figure on the futon spoke coldly.

"That's good..."

"These past few days I've had a vague unease in my heart, as if I've overlooked something."

"Now that this person has lost all his magical power, coupled with the sect leader's strange soul-binding technique, even if he truly possesses immense abilities, he probably cannot escape our grasp!"

Upon hearing this, Qingwen was extremely excited and said.

And then...

zizi~

A sudden sound of oil sizzling and fire crackling echoed in the underground blood cell.

"Tsk~"

The ice demon bared its teeth and immediately retreated.

"here we go again!"

"This person must have practiced some strange technique; his arms are like boiling molten iron..."

"I'm most afraid of sudden temperature increases. If it weren't for the leaf snake's problem, I really wouldn't want to stay here!"

"Fortunately, my two older brothers have returned. The responsibility of guarding this person will now be entrusted to them."

The Ice Demon turned her head and said.

The intense heat emanating from the blood pool not far away was making one of the four guardians, who had cultivated a special technique, somewhat uncomfortable.

"That's just how it is!"

"Your cultivation method is indeed not suitable for staying here..."

"Then you will be in charge of informing the followers to send over the 'blood offerings'!"

Qingwen pondered for a moment before speaking.

It is clear that although the four people are roughly equal in cultivation, Qingwen's status among them is slightly higher than the others.

"OK."

"Then I'll head out first; this heat is really making me uncomfortable."

The ice demon cupped its hands in greeting, but was immediately struck by the heat wave and frowned as it glanced at the center of the blood pool.

At this moment, a young man with his upper body naked was lying in the center of the blood pool!

The man's brows furrowed slightly, as if he were experiencing some kind of intense pain.

And the man's arms...

At this moment, however, it was like a red-hot branding iron, constantly sizzling in the blood.

His arm was covered with a dense array of terrifying wounds, resembling a spider web that covered half of his arm.

As Qingwen watched the Ice Demon leave the Blood Prison, he turned his gaze back and found Tie Luo squatting at the edge of the Blood Pool.

"What's wrong?"

The blue veins open.

"I always feel that the blood in this pool of blood seems to be..."

"It seems like a section is missing?"

Tie Luo's face was full of doubt, and he was still fiddling with the dried blood in his hand.

"Such a strange thing?"

Upon hearing this, Qingwen quickly walked to the edge of the blood pool to check.

Upon closer inspection, something was indeed amiss. A newly appeared "bloodstain" on the edge of the blood pool clearly indicated that the water level in the pool had indeed dropped.

"That's really true..."

"Could it be because of the occasional burning sensation emanating from this person?"

"That's why some of the blood was burned?!"

Qingwen guessed.

"Brother Qing, won't this affect the sect leader's important matters?"

"These blood pools are extremely important, both to the sect leader and to those of us cultivating the Demonic Fiend Technique!"

Tie Luo turned his head and asked.

"I don't know either..."

"However, even if the blood pool decreases because of this person, we have no other place to imprison him!"

"You should know that this person is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Ordinary iron chains cannot hold him firmly."

"Those mortal iron chains might not pose much of a problem for dealing with ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators."

"But for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it is never too much for us to attach great importance to him."

"Why……"

"Previously, because we dared not rashly attack the sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators, we did not forge many Xuan Iron chains."

"We're in a bit of a bind right now."

Qingwen frowned, but he didn't have a good solution either.

We can't possibly imprison this Foundation Establishment cultivator from Yellow Maple Valley together with that group of Qi Refining cultivators.

That would definitely cause a huge problem!

Although... with the cult leader's restriction, even if this person breaks free, he will definitely not be able to escape.

But there will always be some commotion, right? This is the most critical time for the leader... If the seven factions of Yue Kingdom notice this commotion, it will be very bad.

Furthermore, this person is a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Huangfeng Valley. If nothing unexpected happens, his sect will soon discover his disappearance.

If the commotion becomes too great, given Huangfeng Valley's control over worldly affairs, they should be able to quickly discover that something is wrong!

"Then there's nothing we can do."

"Since we can't move this person, let's just accept the loss of this blood pool. It's just some spiritual blood after all."

"Given enough time, there are so many independent cultivators in the Yue Kingdom; we can always gather enough!"

Tielu opened his mouth.

"Indeed."

Qingwen agreed.

Perhaps the candlelight in the underground blood prison was too dim, and the two did not notice anything amiss.

The blood in the blood pool wasn't destroyed by the high temperature!

But...

Drops of blood flowed down the deep cracks in his arm, constantly being absorbed by the strange fluctuations within.

dong dong dong~

A strong heartbeat rang out from the chest of the unconscious young man.

This person was none other than Qin Fang, who had previously fallen unconscious in the river due to the backlash of evil energy.
