I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 637 The Blood Prison Scholar

“I know you mean well.” Xia Daoming shook his head, his tone resolute. “The purpose of this trip is not the Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit, but the Nine Heavens Profound Fire.”

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire!"

The two exclaimed in unison, their faces turning pale.

After a long silence, Rong Yuan finally spoke: "This fire is subject to the cycle of life and death, making it extremely dangerous. If it were outside, Master might be able to subdue it, but in such chaotic and perilous places..."

"The Nine Heavens Mystic Fire is of great use to me."

Xia Daoming's eyes were piercing. "Even if I know the road is dangerous, I will not hesitate."

The two men exchanged a glance, then suddenly knelt down simultaneously: "Since you insist on going, sir, then let us two disciples accompany you and stand together through thick and thin!"

"My lord!" Upon hearing this, the four golden-armored captains' expressions changed drastically.

One of the burly-looking captains couldn't help but step forward, his sharp gaze fixed on Xia Daoming: "Master Xia, if you want to die, then go ahead, but don't drag my master down with you!"

"presumptuous!"

Ji Wufeng flew into a rage, his sword intent surging, "Lie Duo, kneel down now!"

"Never mind." Xia Daoming waved his hand and smiled faintly. "He is loyal to the end." Then his tone changed and he said firmly, "I will go to the Valley of Reincarnation alone so that I can be free from all worries."

"master--"

Ji Wufeng and Rong Yuan called out in unison.

"I've made up my mind!"

Xia Daoming said in a deep voice.

"Pfft!"

Lie Duo suddenly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "It was my fault for speaking recklessly and misunderstanding Master Xia. Please forgive me, Master Xia!"

Xia Daoming glanced at him indifferently, his expression unchanged. Suddenly, he sensed something, slowly turned around, and looked up at the sky behind him.

Confused, everyone looked in the direction of the gaze, but saw nothing.

Xia Daoming didn't say anything, but quickly turned around again, nodded to Lie Duo, and gestured for him to get up.

The celestial ship soared through the sky, and half a day later it flew over the lush, rolling mountains, and once again landed on a vast, desolate, and uninhabited red desert.

An hour later, the celestial ship ventured deep into the scorching desert.

Suddenly, a streak of blood-red light shot through the distant sky, hurtling towards us.

As it drew nearer, the blood-red light transformed into a towering wave of blood, with a scholar in white standing atop the wave.

The blood surged and the stench filled the air, but the scholar, dressed in plain clothes, with his handsome features and scholarly air, intertwined with the ferocious blood waves beneath his feet, exuding an indescribable eeriness and chill.

"It's the Blood Prison Scholar! He's still alive!" Ji Wufeng and Rong Yuan's expressions changed drastically, their voices trembling.

"Heh heh! My ancestor has arrived, you will all die!"

Upon seeing the Blood Prison Scholar, the Blood Demon King seemed to see a savior. He stood up, his flesh trembling, his face filled with a ferocious glee.

"Ancestor?" Ji Wufeng and the others felt a sudden sinking feeling in their hearts.

"Rongyuan, protect the master and get out of here! I'll bring men to hold them off!" Ji Wufeng shouted, drawing his sword and unleashing his sword intent. He stepped out of the immortal boat, stood in mid-air, and stared intently at the Blood Prison Scholar who was approaching from the top of the blood wave.

At this moment, the powerful bloodthirsty aura emanating from the Blood Prison Scholar was pressing down like an overwhelming tide; he was none other than the Nine Assembly True Immortal.

"Heh heh, you think you can just leave?"

The Blood Prison Scholar chuckled coldly, and with a flick of his sleeve, a wave of blood suddenly exploded!

boom--!
Thousands of blood chains, like evil dragons dancing, hung down from the void, intertwining to form a cage, instantly trapping Ji Wufeng and the others in a small space.

Xia Daoming and the others were also within this area.

"kill!"

Ji Wufeng roared, his immortal power surging wildly, and he slashed with his sword, the soaring blade light directly clashing with the blood chain. "This humble servant will lend you a hand, my lord!" Lie Duo roared, his halberd tearing through the void.

The other three golden-armored captains narrowed their eyes and finally gritted their teeth, summoning their immortal treasures and charging towards the Blood Prison.

boom! boom! boom!
The five celestial treasures were unleashed simultaneously, causing the blood chain to shatter inch by inch, and blood rained down.

"Master, let's go quickly!" Seeing the opportunity, Rong Yuan was anxious and stirred up flames to carry Xia Daoming out of prison.

Xia Daoming did not resist, seemingly genuinely intimidated by the power of the battle.

"You will all stay here today!"

The Blood Prison Scholar gave a sinister smile, and somehow a blood gourd had appeared in his hand.

This blood gourd is a size larger than the one in the hands of the Blood Demon.

The Blood Prison Scholar tossed the Blood Gourd into the air, and the true waters of the Blood River poured down.

It transformed into even thicker and more terrifying chains of blood that hung down.

The blood cage grew ever larger and heavier.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Of the five immortal treasures, only Ji Wufeng's horizontal blade could still barely slash left and right. The other four treasures were not only completely suppressed by the Blood Prison, but they were also riddled with holes, resembling rusted artifacts.

"boom!"

Several thick chains of blood hung down and swept across the area, shattering the flames.

Sparks flew and dissipated, revealing the molten kite with a look of shock and anger!

Seeing that Rong Yuan had failed to escape the blood prison in time, Ji Wufeng's face darkened. He suddenly unleashed a flurry of sword light, shaking off the sweeping blood chains that were entangling him, and flew down to Rong Yuan's side.

"boom!"

The blood-red cage fell heavily to the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

Chains of blood, like grotesque blood snakes, coiled together, emanating a chilling, pungent stench.

Thick blood flowed slowly down from above, and the earth hissed as it was continuously corroded.

Inside the blood cage, Ji Wufeng and Rong Yuan, one wielding a knife and the other a sword, stood guard on either side of Xia Daoming.

The four golden-armored captains each retrieved their tainted and damaged magical treasures and stood before Ji Wufeng.

Meanwhile, the Blood Demon, who had been imprisoned, had been rescued by the Blood Prison Scholar at some point. He was now standing on the waves with the Blood Prison Scholar, looking at the people trapped in the Blood Prison with a look of satisfaction.

"Blood Prison Scholar, we are officials appointed by the Heavenly Court, our names are recorded on the Conferred God Platform of the Prefecture. Now that you have rescued the Blood Demon, why don't you stop now and leave immediately!" Ji Wufeng shouted coldly.

"You have severely injured my disciple and grand-disciple, and you still expect me to let you go? What wishful thinking!" The Blood Prison Scholar had somehow produced a golden paper fan in his hand, which he leisurely waved.

"Then what do you intend to do?" Ji Wufeng asked with a stern face.

"Offer half of your essence blood to my blood gourd, and I might consider sparing your lives! Also, that person, stay here!" After saying this, the Blood Prison Scholar pointed at Xia Daoming, his eyes filled with a chilling light.

"Haha!" Ji Wufeng laughed loudly, "Blood Prison Scholar, I was trying to have a proper discussion with you, but you're making outrageous demands! If we really decide to risk our lives and fight, you will have to pay a heavy price!"

"Heh heh, what a pity. You are the only Eighth-Rank True Immortal. The rest are only Sixth-Rank or Seventh-Rank, and there is one Fourth-Rank. With just a few of you low- to mid-rank True Immortals, you dare to boast that you can make me pay a heavy price. Commander, you overestimate yourself! If two or three more Eighth-Rank True Immortals came, they might be able to pose a slight threat to me!" Blood Prison Scholar sneered disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wufeng and the others all turned grim and unpleasant.

The difference between an Eighth and Ninth Assembly True Immortal may seem to be only one assembly, but there is actually a gap between the middle and high levels in between.

This is extremely difficult to overcome, but once you do, your strength will change dramatically.

Moreover, this Blood Prison Scholar has been famous for a long time and has a celestial treasure that can control the true water of the Blood River. Even a Tenth-Rank True Immortal would probably have a hard time getting along with him.

"I'll give you ten breaths to consider!" Blood Prison Scholar said confidently, waving his fan.

　That concludes today's update.
