C12 Blood Cloud Peak

Zhou Qing's heart trembled, but his face remained calm. Just as he was struggling to get up and was about to speak, a lean cultivator beside him suddenly jumped out and excitedly pointed at Zhou Qing.

"Milords, it's definitely this fellow's doing something!"

"He kept a low profile all the way, yet he went on a rampage to provoke the King of Demonic Flies at critical moments. This is definitely related to him!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged mage's expression grew increasingly cold, staring fixedly at Zhou Qing, waiting for his answer.

"This fool really jumped out at the right time!"

Zhou Qing was secretly delighted in his heart, but anger was clearly in his eyes. Staring at the skinny cultivator, he began to cough violently in the next second. His face became even paler and his aura became weaker and weaker.

He staggered and almost lost his footing. He held onto Chai Dazhi who was beside him and said weakly, "Cough cough …" You bunch of villains, did you really think that the two of you could not see through my pretense just now? "

Immediately after, he stared at the skinny cultivator and sneered: "Especially you! It was clearly at the peak of the Spirit Opening Realm, but in the end, he found a Ghost Fly at the middle stage of the Spirit Opening Realm.

Zhou Qing's words caused the expressions of everyone present to suddenly change.

"People cherish life, but at that time, the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for us. I just didn't want to die in vain, so I decided to go all out and help the two masters lure the last King of Demonic Flies away, so that the two of you could obtain the True Blood Lotus as soon as possible and leave this damned place as soon as possible …" But you? Instead of turning the tables around, you poured dirty water on me! "

Zhou Qing's tone was impassioned and impassioned. As he spoke of his feelings, he coughed violently again. His eyes reddened and tears welled in his tiger-like eyes. When Chai Dazhi heard this, he was incomparably ashamed and lowered his head in embarrassment.

The middle-aged mage frowned, once again sizing up Zhou Qing. The latter was indeed in a miserable state at the moment, and her injuries were still bleeding. It would not be an easy matter for her to recover.

Adding on to what Zhou Qing said, it was as if he had suffered a huge grievance. Even he could not help but start to suspect that this rascal had nothing to do with the Seizing of the True Blood Lotus.

Zhou Qing continued to speak. He pointed at the skinny cultivator from before and angrily said, "You said I was up to something." Ever since I lured out the King of Demonic Flies, I was hunted down and almost died on the spot. "Don't tell me I have a body splitting technique?"

The middle-aged mage and the Black Demon thought for a while before looking at each other, nodding, "This is not bad."

"Thank you, Sir!"

When Zhou Qing heard this, a grateful expression appeared on his face as he struggled to give the two a punch.

With that, he looked at the pale skinny cultivator and sneered, "Everyone here is more or less injured, but you are the only one safe and sound. After the two Masters returned safely, they could not wait to jump out and speak without thinking. If they did not have evil intentions, why would they act in such a way? "

"In my opinion, the person who secretly stole the True Blood Lotus was none other than you!"

Plop!

The skinny cultivator was so scared that his soul almost left his body. His knees went weak and he kneeled to the ground, "Lord, this kid is spitting blood. I was wrongly accused. I …"

"Is he telling the truth?"

The middle-aged shaman cut him off, looked around at the crowd, and asked coldly.

"That's right, this man has urged us to leave as soon as he appeared."

Chai Dazhi nodded and recalled that this person's previous reaction was indeed suspicious.

The Black Demon looked at that person and smiled sinisterly. Suddenly, he struck out with his palm, and before that skinny cultivator could even groan in pain, he was swatted to death on the spot.

He was trying to set an example. As for the reason why he said that the loss of the True Blood Lotus was related to this person, the Black Fiend did not believe him at all.

The pungent smell of blood wafted in the wind. Everyone present quieted down, not daring to say another word.

The Black Demon no longer has any scruples as he scanned the crowd and coldly said: "We have planned for thirty years, if we were careless, we would lose. Now that the spirit medicine has been stolen, the path ahead of us is already broken. "I originally wanted to spare your life after obtaining the True Blood Lotus, but now …"

Before he could finish his words, he flicked his finger and shot out a few rays of black light, which shot into the bodies of everyone present as fast as lightning.

The crowd was in an uproar. They never thought that the Black Fiend would suddenly use such a vicious tactic.

"This... This was the Spirit Control Liquid! "Hello everyone …"

Before his voice had even faded away, that person had already clutched his head and heavily fell to the ground. He let out waves of miserable wails as blood flowed out from his seven orifices.

The Black Demon looked at that person and laughed sinisterly, "That's right, it's precisely the Soul Controlling Liquid. With just a thought, I can make you beg for death."

"If you want to live, then you'd better listen obediently and do your best to help us get our hands on Blood Bodhi. If anyone dares to disobey …" Don't blame us for being impolite! "

The middle-aged mage also spoke indifferently. Even though his tone was indifferent, his killing intent was obvious.

The Blackfiend nodded. "In short, we will now help you acquire Blood Bodhi. Everything that has happened has been written off, and the benefits that I have promised you will be in no way diminished." Otherwise, we won't have a good time and you won't be able to have a good time either! "

Naturally, the two of them would not give up on creating a true blood lotus. However, they did not have any clues at the moment, and time waited for no one. They could only hold everyone's lives in their hands.

"What was that drop of water?" "The taste is pretty good. Is there anything else?"

Just as everyone was worrying about their future, the voice of the Curse Spirit suddenly sounded out in Zhou Qing's mind.

Zhou Qing was stunned. He circulated his cultivation technique and felt nothing strange in his body. He couldn't help but curse the Curse Spirit for being a glutton. He even dared to eat this kind of thing. Wasn't he afraid of being poisoned to death?

However, upon thinking about it, Chu Feng realized that the Curse Spirit had been in existence for an unknown amount of time. It was unbelievably ancient. If a mere spirit liquid could deal with him, then he would truly be trash.

"You should rest first and recover your strength. We'll set off in an hour to recover from your injuries. I do not wish for anyone to slow us down on the road."

The middle-aged mage coldly said a few words, and sat with the Black Fiend on the ground, beginning to heal his injuries.

After the calamity was resolved, Zhou Qing immediately took out a healing pill and consumed it. He closed his eyes and began to refine the pill's power, though he was secretly calculating in his heart.

Blood Bodhi was also his next target!

He had originally planned to find an opportunity to leave the group after obtaining the True Blood Lotus. However, he did not expect that the two mages' goals would be the same as his.

"The Solidified Blood Lotus, which can repair damaged meridians, has been obtained. "However, my lifespan is running out. I don't have much time left. I need to rely on Xue Buti to extend my lifespan by ten years. I might be able to break through to the Spirit Realm and thus extend my lifespan even further!"

To him, Blood Bodhi was much more important than the True Blood Lotus. No matter what, he had to obtain it!

After making up his mind, Zhou Qing began to wholeheartedly heal his injuries.

"Hmm? I can absorb the energy here? "

Just as he was about to activate the Ten Thousand Spirit Curse, Zhou Qing discovered to his surprise that he could actually absorb and refine the murky energy that was like poison to others.

Moreover, compared to the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, this energy seemed to be of greater benefit to him!

Without batting an eyelid, he quietly circulated his cultivation technique to steal the surrounding energy. Through the Life Stone, he transformed it into purer spirit energy, which flowed into his limbs and bones to make up for the consumption of energy.

Compared to the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, the spiritual energy that was transformed from the turbid energy was a little denser.

It was not the quantity, but the quality!

Originally, after breaking through to the later stage of the Spirit Opening Stage, the Spirit Opening Pill would no longer be of any use to him. Relying on his own cultivation, he had no idea how long it would take.

But here, in just a moment, he had the feeling that he was about to open the 301st meridian.

However, just as he was about to absorb more energy, his expression suddenly changed.

The meridians in his body seemed to be unable to withstand this kind of power and were on the verge of breaking apart.

Even though he had obtained the True Blood Lotus, he had not had the chance to consume it. Right now, his body was like a sieve, riddled with thousands of holes. The slightest carelessness would cause his body to shatter into pieces.

Realizing this point, although Zhou Qing felt helpless, he had to give up on breaking through.

"Everyone, get ready to go!"

An hour passed quickly, and the two mages stood up and ordered everyone to set off.

After trekking for seven to eight hours, everyone was exhausted. If it wasn't for the fact that their bodies were different from ordinary people, they wouldn't have lasted this long.

Just as everyone was secretly pointing and complaining about it incessantly, at the end of the boundless bloody sand, a lone peak gradually became clearer in their line of sight, causing everyone to tremble.

The lone mountain stood tall and straight, like a beacon in a sea of sand, showing everyone the way.

Blood Cloud Mountain was already in sight!

Zhou Qing's expression was the same as ever as he looked off into the distance at the towering mountain peak. He thought back to the ancient records of the Zhou Clan, and the records regarding Blood Bodhi.

A person who possessed the Blood Bodhisattva could live for ten years, longer than the depths of the Ghost Cave or the peak of Blood Cloud Mountain.

As one of the four great families, the Zhou Family had sent people here every time the Ten Thousand Devil Cave opened. They were naturally very familiar with Blood Bodhi's situation.

Compared to the True Blood Lotus, there were no demons or devils protecting Blood Bodhi. However, this did not mean that Blood Bodhi was easy to harvest.

Blood Bodhi was a treasure which even Adepts needed. Who wouldn't be tempted by it after a ten-year lifespan?

Therefore, every time the Ten Thousand Devil Cave opened, the majority of the people that entered would gather at the Blood Cloud Mountain.

There were only six Blood Bodhi seeds every thirty years. As the most powerful force on the continent, the Mysterious Sky Sect was the only one among them, with the four great clans occupying two of them.

There was only one left for the rogue cultivators and the small Immortal Sect cultivators to fight for.

Even so, some of the Spirit Realm cultivators, who didn't have much time left, still came to try and extend their lifespan even though they knew that their hopes of doing so were slim.

As such, every battle was an abnormally intense one.

This was not a fight for elixir, but for his life!

Failure meant death!

It was only when he got closer to the peak that Zhou Qing finally understood why this Lone Peak was called this name.

The mountain peak was towering, and its circumference was over ten miles. At first glance, one could not see the end, and it was like a sharp sword that stood between the heaven and earth.

Fire energy emanated from it as a blood-red fog shrouded the peak of the mountain. It was like a purgatory of blood in the legends.

Before he even got close, waves of heat waves rushed at him. The sand and stones on the ground were burnt and melted, turning into crystals that were similar to glass.

At the foot of the mountain, he could see three winding paths that passed through the blood cloud and headed straight for the peak of the mountain.

At the intersection furthest to the left stood the disciples of the Profound Sky Sect proudly. There was no one else.

The one on the right was the group from the Four Great Clans.

At the central entrance, there were hundreds of rogue cultivators, as well as cultivators from various small sects.

Everyone was clearly separated from each other. Even though the central entrance was extremely crowded, no one dared to take even half a step across the border.

Of the six Blood Bodhi pellets, three were on the left, and the remaining two belonged to the Profound Sky Sect. They belonged to one of the four great families. This had been a rule that had never been broken in hundreds of years.

What everyone was fighting for was the middle one, the only ownerless Blood Bodhi.
