Chapter 365: Chapter 334 Blood Demon Ancestor_1

Xu Mu stood on the crimson sea, gazing at the distant island. He was actually using his Divine Intent to sense the sea beneath him.

The guide from the Blood Demon Sect had gone on ahead, and Xu Mu, not in any rush, waited quietly.

About an hour later, a scarlet Escape Light slashed open the Formation on the island and headed toward Xu Mu’s location.

The Escape Light landed in front of Xu Mu, revealing a young man clad in a dark-red robe with red hair and eyebrows and an air of evil allure about him.

“Mu Yu has the pleasure of meeting the esteemed Blood Demon friend!” Xu Mu greeted with a bow and a smile.

“The one who broke through in the Blue Sand Sea Area… was it you?” asked the Blood Demon Ancestor indifferently.

“Indeed, it was me!”

“Why have I never heard of you before?”

“I typically remain in seclusion and rarely venture outside.” Xu Mu laughed.

“We aren’t acquainted, so why have you come?”

The Blood Demon Ancestor folded his hands behind his back, squinting his eyes and appeared rather indifferent.

“I’ve heard of the auction being held by my esteemed friend, and there’s a member of the Sea Race Imperial Clan. The Martial Method I am cultivating requires the use of the Imperial Clan Bloodline, so I was hoping you could do me the favor of selling it to me in advance.” Xu Mu chuckled.

“Oh?”

The Blood Demon Ancestor didn’t agree right away, instead studying Xu Mu up and down. There was no change in his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

“If the friend is interested in buying, feel free to participate directly in the auction. I, Hong, have no intention of conducting any trade in advance.” The Blood Demon Ancestor declined.

“Won’t you first take a look at my funds?” Xu Mu’s face held a confident smile.

“Regardless of your funds, I won’t conduct any trade in advance. Please leave!”

The Blood Demon Ancestor turned on his heel to leave.

“I think it’d be best if you took a look first!”

Xu Mu took out a jade slip and tossed it to the Blood Demon Ancestor.

The Blood Demon Ancestor used his Spiritual Power to catch it but showed no intention of reading it.

“You can take the slip and examine it at your leisure. If you’re interested, you can find me in the city!”

Once Xu Mu finished speaking, he gave a bow, transformed into an Escape Light, and left.

Watching him leave, the Blood Demon Ancestor looked at the jade slip in his hand, then transformed into an Escape Light and returned to the Blood Demon Sect.

Within the main hall of the Blood Demon Sect, the Blood Demon Ancestor sat at the seat of honor, with a green-robed cultivator wearing a mask on one side, and a red-robed elderly figure on the other.

“I’ve never heard of this Mu Yu. Could he be a spy from the Sea Race?” asked the elderly figure in the red robe.

“His aura is pure, so I doubt it.” The Blood Demon Ancestor replied mildly. frёewebnoѵēl.com

“My spies in the Cangming Sea don’t have any information about him!” The voice of the cultivator in the green robe was ethereal.

“Regardless of his origins, take a look at this first!”

The Blood Demon Ancestor handed over the jade slip that Xu Mu had given him to the two for examination.

After looking at it, the elderly figure frowned uncertainly and said, “Blood Demon friend, could this be the Secret Skill that was rumored to have originated from the Shattered Void Secret Realm?”

“It should be correct!” The Blood Demon Ancestor nodded, then looked at the green-robed cultivator and said, “What do you think, Five Poison friend?”

“It is indeed that Secret Skill. I had attempted to comprehend it myself in the past. Although I only grasped a bit of its essence, it should be correct. I never thought that apart from Lu Jingkong, someone else could comprehend that Martial Method!” the masked green-robed man said.

“Blood Demon friend, is he planning to exchange this Martial Method?”

“It should be correct!”

“Then what do we do now? This is something we’ve planned for a long time. You surely won’t really trade it away, will you?” said the elderly figure in the red robe.

The Blood Demon Ancestor remained silent without replying.

“If this Secret Skill is as miraculous as he says, trading it away would obviously be more beneficial,” the masked man in the green robe said.

“Even if it is, don’t forget that it was because of this Secret Skill that Lu Jingkong…”

“Lu Jingkong is back.” The Blood Demon Ancestor spoke indifferently.

“Wha- what?!”

Both people were visibly shocked.

“Blood Demon friend, you’re not joking, are you?” asked the elderly figure in the red robe anxiously.

“If it weren’t real, why would I go through such lengths to get my hands on the True Blood of the Kun Peng.” The Blood Demon Ancestor closed his eyes, his tone remaining casual.

“This is almost 300 years… and that guy is actually not dead. How could this be! Damn it!”

The figure in the red robe stood up and paced back and forth, heat radiating from his body, seemingly agitated.

“You don’t know about her Cultivation Stage, do you? Has she reached the later stage of the Nascent Soul yet?” The red-robed elderly figure stared, asking anxiously.

“She’s currently in seclusion. I don’t know her exact Cultivation Stage.” The Blood Demon Ancestor replied.

“Where is she secluding herself? Wouldn’t it be better if we act first?” the red-robed elderly figure urged.

The Blood Demon Ancestor opened his eyes and calmly glanced at him.

“There’s no need to be impulsive. I have a plan in mind. Let’s talk more about this deal first.”

“What’s there to talk about? Now that Lu Jingkong is back, it’s better to take action as soon as possible. Even if we do make a deal for the Martial Method, we won’t be able to cultivate it right away! Plus, this kid just showed up out of nowhere, he’s still unclear, who knows what he’s thinking!”

The elderly figure in the red robe obviously disapproved of the trade.

“Five Poison, what do you think?”

The Blood Demon Ancestor looked at the figure in the green robe.

“I think we can proceed with the trade, but not right now. The auction is about to start, if we trade with him now, not only will our plan fall through, the reputation of the Blood Demon Sect will also be damaged.”

“Wha- what do you mean?”

“We can let him participate in the auction, and when the time comes he can bid as he pleases, and just exchange for the Secret Skill after it ends.”

“Nice!”

After some thought, the Blood Demon Ancestor nodded in agreement.

“I’d say, why don’t we just take him down to avoid further trouble? After all, he has no backing!” The figure in the red robe sounded a bit disdainful.

They were all mature Nascent Souls, with the Blood Demon Ancestor in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. The three together could easily capture a newly advanced Junior Stage Nascent Soul with no problem.

“This person is extraordinary; we shouldn’t act rashly.” The Blood Demon Ancestor rejected the proposal of the figure in the red robe.

Once they finished discussing, the Blood Demon Ancestor left the Blood Demon Sect, found Xu Mu, and revealed the plan of the figure in the green robe to him.

He had expected Xu Mu to sternly refuse or demand harsh conditions, but to his surprise, Xu Mu agreed readily.

Upon the departure of the Blood Demon Ancestor, Xu Mu finally let out a sigh of relief.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to put forth conditions but that he didn’t dare.

Ming Lingchun’s cultivation level was low, and he was of mixed race, apart from his status in the Imperial Clan, he didn’t actually possess much value. If Xu Mu appeared too eager, he could potentially be used as bait for blackmail.

During the auction, there would surely be someone from the Blood Demon Sect purposefully inflating the price. If he didn’t secure a deal with Blood Demon Ancestor in advance, he wouldn’t be able to bid for Ming Lingchun.

Through interaction and speculation, he had roughly figured out the intentions of the Blood Demon Ancestor. They just wanted to use Ming Lingchun to attract a high-level sea clan expert, in exchange for high-level Imperial Clan Bloodline.

However, such efforts would be in vain. Although he didn’t know about the others, he was pretty clear about Ming Lingchun’s status in the Imperial Clan, and it was doubtful that any Sea Clan Imperial member would come to his rescue.

He would wait!

The day of the auction came about quickly.
