I am a stubborn stone, but I can mend the sky!

Chapter 28 Blood Shadow

Xu Liang, the commander of the guards of Youdu City, was a martial arts cultivator at the Wuhun stage comparable to the immortal cultivators of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Therefore, no matter Li Si or Heimu, they are like ants in the face of these characters, and they have no courage to continue to fight at all.

Compared to Heimu who was clearly wronged, Li Si sued without hesitation.

Anyway, from the procedural point of view of the whole matter, it was basically impossible to find many problems with him, at most he had a bad temper, and he beat up Heimu's subordinates at the slightest disagreement.

This kind of thing is too common in martial arts and physical training. As long as no one is killed, they will basically not be held accountable afterwards.

As for the dead two thousand flame poisonous bees, he neither approached these monsters nor picked up their materials, so it was not difficult to quibble.

"Your master is retreating now, can't you live in peace?"

Xu Liang frowned and said, but he still extended his hand and pulled Li Si to his side.

The commander of the city guards of Youdu is naturally the confidant of Youdu Wang Ji Qiye, and naturally belongs to the same camp as Ji Ziye, the royal princess.

Even if you can't be too partial at this moment, you will definitely protect the safety of the juniors.

Heimu, who has been in Youdu for many years, is very clear about the relationship here, even if he is talking about breaking the sky at this moment, Xu Liang can't do anything to Li Si.

"I'm sorry to trouble General Xu, Li Si and I just had some minor conflicts, and it's been sorted out just now..."

Kuroki said respectfully, as if he really didn't care about the festivities between the two of them.

"General Xu, this guy just now..."

With a backer at the moment, how could Li Si let the other party go so easily, and immediately wanted to make trouble.

It's a pity that the person next to him is not Ji Ziye, Xu Liang, who has always been prudent, just wants to make big things into small things, and Li Si's mouth was sealed by Li Si just after he said half a sentence.

Seeing this situation, Hei Mu bowed tactfully, did not say a word of nonsense, and quickly flew into the distance.

It wasn't until his figure completely disappeared that Xu Liang released the seal on Li Si's mouth, and said angrily:

"Do you think the disciple of the deceitful king is easy to bully? If you really attract the attention of that old guy, His Highness will not be able to save your life!"

Li Si smiled sheepishly, cupped his fists and saluted, "Thank you General Xu for your help, I will remember it in my heart."

Li Si had nothing else to say about the high and powerful General Xu, except that he kept it in his heart.

What's more, Hei Mu had nothing to do with him just now, Xu Liang's appearance was just a step down for both parties, and it wasn't worth making a big promise if the relationship was big or small.

"Hmph! You are His Highness's disciple, so I don't want to say more about you, but don't trouble Your Highness at this time, her retreat is very important this time, and she cannot stand any interruptions!"

As soon as Xu Liang finished speaking, he flew towards the distant north gate. He seemed dissatisfied with Li Siting and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Seeing this, Li Si couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, he doesn't want to contact people with too high a cultivation level now. Dealing with these people is very difficult. If you don't pay attention, the other party will see that you are lying.

However, there are too many secrets in me, and many things can't be revealed at all. Once I tell a lie, I have to cover it up with a hundred sentences later. This process is really torturous.

"Huh? Damn it!"

As soon as Xu Liang's figure disappeared, Li Si fell from the clouds.

Just now he was thinking wildly, he completely forgot that he couldn't fly yet, and he didn't realize it until the air under his feet.

At a height of 40 meters, the current Li Si could not be hurt by a fall, but some disgrace was inevitable. When he got up from the shallow pit, he couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

"I have to improve my cultivation as soon as possible, it's really a disadvantage if I can't fly!"

……

After entering Youdu City, Li Si was not in a hurry to return to the Purple Spirit Palace, and went to a restaurant in the West Market.

Compared with the East Market where dignitaries gather, the West Market is not so luxurious and tidy.

Most of the people who come here to do business or consume are foreigners. In terms of population flow, the West City is ten times that of the East City, but the level of service, commodity value, taxation and security are far from being comparable to the East City.

The air in West City is filled with chaos, violence, sex, and conspiracy all the time. It can be said that all the dirty things in Youdu can be found in every corner of West City.

Li Si, who was not in a good mood, walked into a wine shop named "Red Jade". The lobby of two to three hundred square meters was full of warriors holding wine bowls and spitting stars.

From time to time, the scantily-clad female waiters could hear joyful and wanton laughter, the sound of colliding with wine bowls, and the bragging of drunkards, forming a unique melody in the restaurant.

Li Si's physical development has accelerated a lot since he switched to physical training, and now he is 1.6 meters tall. If you don't look at his face, you might not think of him as a child.

It's a pity that his youthful face immediately revealed his age.

Li Sigang found a table in the lobby and sat down. Before he even had time to order food and drink, he attracted the attention of many people.

But in a place like Youdu City, any kind of monster could appear.

No one can say for sure whether this is an old bastard deliberately pretending to be tender, except for a few drunks who really drank a few jokes, others simply glanced at it and stopped paying attention.

Not long after, a female waiter with her chest up and hips, Tingting, came over gracefully.

Although this woman looks a bit old, but her figure is extremely hot, she is definitely the favorite of energetic warriors!
The female waiter bent down and placed the recipe in front of Li Si, then sat down opposite him, looking at it wantonly with slightly curious eyes.

Although it was his first time visiting this Ruby Tavern, Li Si had been in the West Market for two or three months, so he naturally understood why the other party did this.

He calmly took out a piece of broken spirit stone, chuckled and handed it to the waitress, and then whispered:
"Ask your shopkeeper if there is any news about 'Blood Shadow'. If there is, I will thank you with a special gift."

After talking about the business, Li Si shouted again in a normal voice: "First serve a pot of 'Sui Han Tang', and then some random meat dishes, hurry up!"

"Yes!"

The female runner happily took out the broken spirit stone, and looked at Li Si with excited eyes.

Generally, warriors who spend in the Ruby Tavern will reward them with a few gold leaves at most, and a guy like Li Si who can smash spirit stones with every shot may not be able to meet one in a whole year.

When she turned around and left with the recipe, the waitress thought that it didn't matter if she was younger. If the other party hadn't left later, she would drag him to her room, and maybe she could take the opportunity to make a fortune.

But her idea was broken by her shopkeeper before she could put it into practice.

Hearing that someone wanted to inquire about "Blood Shadow", the middle-aged shopkeeper, who seemed rough, had a red light in his eyes, and then asked the waitress to take him to the back, and he wanted to negotiate with the other party in person.

Li Si didn't think it was strange that he was going to the back room to discuss. He put down the wine bowl casually, and under the ambiguous eyes of the drunkards, he followed the female waitress before and walked back unhurriedly.

The faction related to "Blood Shadow" is almost everyone in the southern practice circle calling for a beating.

Even in the Youhuang Kingdom, where demons are rampant, they belong to the unpopular category, and they are usually nowhere to be seen.

It took Li Si a lot of effort before to find this Ruby Tavern, which may have some connection with "Blood Shadow", and it is naturally impossible to discuss related matters in a crowded place.

"My surname is Zeng. I heard that the little brother is looking for 'Blood Shadow'. I don't know why?"

The shopkeeper surnamed Zeng, who had other plans, was slightly taken aback when he saw Li Si's face, and then asked with a smile.

"My name is Li Si, you must have heard of this name before!"

Realizing that the middle-aged man in front of him was not simple, Li Si didn't go around in circles anymore, and went straight to the point and reported his name.

Now he is quite well-known in Youdu City. The general shopkeepers may not know Li Si, but it is impossible for the manager of a tavern, a place where information meets, to be ignorant of his situation.

"Captain Li's name is very famous. Of course Mr. Zeng has heard of it. I don't know if you are looking for 'Blood Shadow' this time, is it for business or private business?"

Shopkeeper Zeng opened this tavern in Youdu City for the purpose of collecting information for his forces, so he naturally knew that Li Si was a rising star in Youdu City.

Even half a year ago, he went out of the black-clothed camp and recorded Li Si's face with a photo stone.

"It's not my turn to come forward if there is a business. It's just that I have some personal matters and want to make a deal with 'Blood Shadow'." Li Si waved his hand and said with a smile.

The force behind the "Blood Shadow" is the Blood Demon Sect, which is second only to the Heavenly Demon Sect among the evil spirits of the Six Paths. As a monk in the Qi refining period, how can he have the right to negotiate?
"Since it's a private matter, it's easy to talk about. If Captain Li needs anything, just tell Zeng, and Zeng will never refuse what can be done!"

Hearing that it was going to be a private transaction, Shopkeeper Zeng immediately laughed out loud, patted his chest and promised boldly.

There is nothing wrong with being the captain of the black-clothed crowd, but the identity of the disciple of Princess Xiangcheng carries a lot of weight wherever it is placed, and it also means a lot of unimaginable information.

At least at the level of shopkeeper Zeng, he hardly ever gets in touch with people of this level. Now that he has the opportunity to catch up with Li Si, he will of course do his best to lean in.

And Li Si could guess what the other party was thinking, but he didn't care much.

It's okay to reveal some things that can be said, the real top-secret information, he can't get in touch now, and it's useless for the other party to ask.

"I heard that within the 'Blood Shadow' organization, there is a practice called "Blood River Sutra", which is often spread wantonly in southern countries, regardless of the origin of the practitioners."

Li Si stopped at this point, staring at Shopkeeper Zeng's thick face, wanting to see his reaction.

"Captain Li has a friend who has practiced the "Blood River Sutra", right? If you want to suppress the influence of 'Blood Tribulation', Zeng can't do it, but you can ask our helmsman to make a move."

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, shopkeeper Zeng immediately put on a look of understanding, and took the matter down with a smile.

If there is no real benefit for the Blood Demon Sect, a demonic force that uses blood as its training resource, how could it be possible to spread its own skills around?
The reason why they open the door of convenience in the south is because of the "Blood River Sutra" practice, there are huge hidden dangers.

As long as the practitioner has a little success, a serious "blood catastrophe" will erupt. The spiritual consciousness is affected by the strong blood evil in the body, and there is an infinite thirst for the blood of living beings.

This kind of strong desire like a tarsus maggot, once it can't be controlled, will poison one party and become a "blood demon" that everyone can punish. Only joining the blood demon sect can alleviate it.

Originally, no one would practice this notorious exercise.

However, the serious involution in the southern practice world is far from comparable to that of the northern country, which has a vast land and sparse population.

The high-ranking sect occupies more than [-]% of the cultivation resources, and it is difficult for the casual cultivators to climb up. Many low-level monks who do not have a backing can't be dogs who want to be powerful.

Forced into desperation, the "Blood River Sutra", which has an extremely low threshold for cultivation, has become a helpless solution.

Although this evil skill will cause endless troubles, it is also a quick guide for low-level monks.

As long as there is enough spiritual blood, a Qi-refining cultivator with low aptitude can improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.

Even ignoring the bottleneck of the big realm, forcibly entering the foundation building period, forming the unique evil blood Dao foundation of the Blood Demon Cult!

Therefore, no matter how hard the various sects in the south crack down, monks who practice the "Blood River Sutra" still emerge in endlessly, and in recent years there has even been an intensifying trend!
However, Youhuang Kingdom is the lair of the Six Paths demons, even if a member of the Blood Demon Cult gets kicked in the head by a donkey, it won't harm their own territory.

Therefore, apart from the headquarters of the Blood Demon Sect in Pingzhou, it is difficult to find the complete "Blood River Sutra" in Youhuang Kingdom.

Even if some people really cultivated, the upper echelons of the Blood Demon Sect would not help them alleviate the "blood disaster" and let these people be hunted and killed by the garrisons everywhere.

It is for this reason that when Li Si mentioned "Blood River Sutra", shopkeeper Zeng thought he had a friend who was practicing, and wanted to find someone from the Blood Demon Sect to suppress the "Blood Tribulation" disaster in private.

Even though it is a bit taboo to do so, how can a scoundrel like the Blood Demon Cult really follow the rules?
At least the status of Princess Xiangcheng's disciple already has the qualifications for them to make an exception.

"Your Excellency misunderstood, I just want a complete "Blood River Sutra" and relatively reliable cultivation experience."

Li Si saw that although the other party misunderstood him, he was willing to make an exception to suppress even "Blood Tribulation", so his request should not be a big deal.

"Captain Li, you have a bright future, so there is no need to practice the "Blood River Sutra", right?"

Shopkeeper Zeng hesitated for a moment, but still asked this question that didn't fit his identity.

If someone else wanted to practice the "Blood River Sutra", even if he couldn't give it to him due to the rules, he would secretly send it to the other party in private.

But Li Si is different, behind this is Princess Ji Ziye of Xiangcheng, and behind Ji Ziye is the king of Youdu, Ji Qiye!

If something goes wrong with Li Sixiu's training of the Blood River Sutra, who knows if the royal family will hold the Blood Demon Sect accountable.

Even if the two major forces do not clash because of this, shopkeeper Zeng, shopkeeper Zeng's boss, and even the boss's boss are likely to be thrown out to the royal family as an explanation.

"Your Excellency misunderstood, I practiced the "Wusheng Dao Sutra" very smoothly, but I have some guesses about body training, and I plan to refer to the method of blood demon condensing in the Blood River Sutra."

Li Si's half-truth and half-fake explanation reassured the shopkeeper Zeng who was sitting opposite him a lot, and he didn't think that the other party would really practice the Blood River Sutra.

"The "Blood River Sutra" and the cultivation experience are trivial matters, but my teaching has an agreement with the royal family, and we cannot spread this skill in the country..."

"How about this, Captain Li is resting in my shop for the night today, maybe he can pick up something tomorrow morning."

Shopkeeper Zeng thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and said.

The meaning in these words is almost clear, he can't give it to Li Si directly, but if Li Si picks it up in the store, it is not considered a breach of the agreement.
