Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

Things took an unexpected turn for Chen Jiuge.

Afran surrendered!

It would take about seven days for the Seven Killings Army to be mobilized back, but on the third day after Zi Qianlian set off, Afran discovered that the monthly bloodstains had not been delivered on time.

Wen Chang, who was in charge of transportation, also stayed indoors and showed no intention of reporting to me.

Afraid realized she had been exposed.

In truth, Afran did not want to restore the Five Star Tribe. Her use of her status as the rightful heir of the Five Star Tribe to get Xing Yan to provide blood was merely out of some resentment.

However, others didn't think so. They believed that the Five Star Tribe couldn't possibly be destroyed. A newly risen Star Moon Tribe, whether in terms of foundation or strength, was not even half as strong as the Five Star Tribe of the past. Why should they submit to such a force?

The fact that the mountain people who were once considered worthless now shared the same status as them made the warriors of the five-star tribes feel even more resentful.

They were unconvinced, and under their encouragement, coupled with the strange treasure left by her father, Avran had a desire to try it out, which led to the current situation.

Kneeling on the cold ground, Avran turned to look at the guards beside her. Their faces showed the same resentment and hatred towards her.

Those pairs of eyes, as fierce as flames, seemed to be questioning them: "Why did you surrender? Why didn't you fight back!"

"Resist?"

Afran chuckled inwardly, then looked past the guards at the servants further away. These people were also from the Five Star Tribe, but because of their lowly birth and average cultivation, they could only serve as servants, responsible for Afran's daily life.

The guards' loyalty goes without saying, but Afran knew it was because she was the sole descendant of the Five Star Tribe. If even one of her brothers or sisters were still alive, she probably wouldn't matter.

As a result, Afran felt somewhat discouraged. When she realized that she had been discovered, Afran considered whether to resist, but when she thought of the servants who knew nothing and smiled because of the stable environment of the Star Moon Tribe, Afran was stunned.

These were smiles I had never seen before in the Five Star Tribe. They were so genuine, yet so unattainable!

"If they resist, won't they die?"

This thought lingered in Avran's mind, and eventually, as if possessed, Avran surrendered.

The guards were so shocked by Afran's actions that they forgot to resist and were easily subdued by a group of patrolling guards whose cultivation was inferior to their own.

"I'm curious, since you have the idea of ​​reviving the tribe, why don't you resist? Those guards shouldn't be a match for your protection!" Chen Jiuge asked with some doubt.

Chen Jiuge was puzzled by Afran's behavior. Did Afran really think that she would let them go this time?

"Would you believe me if I said I was only forced into it?"

Afran stared blankly at Chen Jiuge with her pale golden eyes.

For some reason, Chen Jiuge sensed a hint of fatigue in him.

Before Chen Jiuge could reply, Zi Qianlian whispered in his ear, "Clan leader, Chu Tianshu and Ronghuo have arrived and are outside the hall. Should we let them in?"

"Chu Tianshu and Ronghuo? Let them in!"

There's no need to stop these two, and besides, it's impossible to stop them anyway. The Spider Queen didn't come over, and the Sorrowful Woman was sent by Chen Jiuge to search for that peculiar study in the Lan Mansion, so she's not here. If someone with the Molten Fire King level cultivation really wanted to come in, no one here could stop them.

It was already quite good that he could wait outside the hall for his orders, which also indirectly showed that Molten Fire had a certain degree of recognition of the Star Moon Tribe. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he was faking it.

A moment later, two people walked in from outside the hall.

The man in white, looking like a refined young gentleman, was Chu Tianshu. This elder of the Soul-Suppressing Holy Land had spent a lot of money to collect a large number of magic robes from those True Realm cultivators after leaving the Five Star Tribe and becoming the ruling elder of the Star Moon Department.

Perhaps only these familiar robes could bring back a trace of what he once felt.

As for the other one, who was tall and thin, it was Molten Fire. During his time handling government affairs in the Star Moon Department, Molten Fire lost weight at a visible rate. After all, it was indeed a bit difficult for him to quickly transform from a brute who was good at using force into a clerical worker.

"thump"

Just as Chen Jiuge was about to get up to greet the two, Ronghuo suddenly knelt down, and a huge sound echoed throughout the hall.

"What does Elder Moltenfire mean by this?" Chen Jiuge asked, frowning.

"Clan leader, I am willing to exchange my status as a ruling elder for the young master's life!" Molten Fire declared resolutely.

The act of melting the fire not only stunned Chen Jiuge, but also surprised Chu Tianshu, who had come with him.

"Elder Molten Flame, what are you doing?" Chu Tianshu couldn't help but ask.

Despite Chu Tianshu's betrayal of the Five Star Tribe, after they all submitted to the Star Moon Tribe, Chu Tianshu made concessions to the original Five Star Tribe members in various ways, and even used his power to give them some benefits.

In addition, Chu Tianshu was not the only one who betrayed them back then; he was just the leader.

These warriors were all related by blood. To put it bluntly, every one of them who managed to escape the siege of the Sansheng tribe had taken a knife for someone else!
Moreover, the decline and destruction of the Five Star Tribe was inevitable, but these loyal warriors were unwilling to believe it for a while. However, after so much time, they should know it by now.

"Elder, there's no need for that!"

Afran said in a slightly hoarse voice, "This is my own fault. If I had been more assertive, this wouldn't have happened."

"But young master..."

Molten was somewhat taken aback, and his gaze toward the guards behind Avran was filled with resentment.

What a wonderful child! Why are these people so persistent? Can't they see the difference between themselves and others?
"Alright, this isn't the place for you to chat!"

Chen Jiuge looked at Afran with a deep gaze and said, "I just want to know, what exactly is that treasure in your hand?"

"treasure?"

Afran paused for a moment, seemingly not understanding why Chen Jiuge would value an external object so much.

This is the difference in perspective. In the Heavenly Gift Realm, cultivators value personal strength more. They could have spent a little time and effort to forge better weapons, but they didn't. Instead, they preferred to use that time to train their bodies.

Of course, this doesn't mean they're fools. If there were better weapons, they would naturally use them, which is why the magical artifacts made by the Star Moon Tribe are so sought after by most warriors.

The reason Avran pinned her hopes on this treasure was naturally because she lacked the strength. If she were strong enough, she would never have thought of this treasure that her father treated as a mere ornament.

"Chief, is this what you're talking about?"

Afran pulled out a pure white, irregularly shaped object from her bosom.

Although it is irregular, if you look closely, you will find that it resembles a heart, except that it does not beat.

"Wenxin! It really is Wenxin!" Chen Jiuge's mind was shaking, as if an 18-magnitude earthquake had occurred!
"This is it!"

Chen Jiuge didn't realize that he was trembling involuntarily. The warriors from the Heavenly Gift Realm, including Ronghuo, were a little confused. It was just a treasure that wasn't very useful. Why was he so excited?

Chu Tianshu, on the other hand, had his pupils constricted and felt his mouth dry.

"This...this thing...could this be the legendary treasure?!"

As an elder of the Soul-Suppressing Holy Land, Chu Tianshu's knowledge was naturally beyond that of ordinary cultivators. Within the Holy Land, the records of the Nine Great Treasures far surpassed those of other sects.

"Damn it, this is a priceless treasure! How could such a treasure end up in the hands of this bitch!" At this moment, Chu Tianshu's resentment had reached its peak. He had never hated her this much, not even when he was forced to marry Afran.

"That bitch, that bitch, she has a priceless treasure and she won't give it to me!"

Chen Jiuge naturally noticed Chu Tianshu's unusual behavior, but he didn't care. Chu Tianshu was just a Great Luo Immortal. In the True Realm, with Chu Tianshu's background and strength, he was a big shot that Chen Jiuge would never even meet.

But now? Well, all I can say is laugh.

Reaching out and grabbing Wenxin in his hand, Chen Jiuge immediately sensed a faint consciousness.

"Is this Wenxin's artifact spirit? But why is its aura so weak?"

Suppressing his doubts, Chen Jiuge waved his hand and said, "Put these people in the Heavenly Prison first, and I'll discuss the specific punishments later."

"Yes!"

After most of the people had left, Chu Tianshu, with a shy face and a hint of expectation, said, "Clan leader, I really like this treasure. I wonder if it's alright?"

Chen Jiuge looked up at Chu Tianshu, a half-smile on her face, and said, "You want to change?"

Chu Tianshu suppressed his excitement and nodded repeatedly.

"Hehe, it seems Elder Chu knows what this is!"

"I don't know, I don't know. I just felt a connection with him. The clan leader is also a True Realm cultivator, so I suppose he knows that sometimes it's just a matter of inspiration!"

"Alright, Elder Chu, I know you're from the Soul Suppressing Holy Land and your status is extraordinary, but how should I put it, this is the Heavenly Gift Realm, not the True Realm. Your cultivation here is at most just average. My Star Moon Tribe has plenty of cultivators like you!"

"You're blatantly taking advantage of me like this, you're looking down on me! This puts me in a difficult position!"

"Could it be that the clan leader knows what this is?" Chu Tianshu was still reluctant to give up. With such a heaven-defying opportunity right in front of him, how could he possibly give it up!
Chu Tianshu was even rolling his eyes, seemingly considering the chances of success if he tried to snatch it directly.

However, he quickly lost heart. Not to mention others, Zi Qianlian, who was by Chen Jiuge's side, was someone he couldn't handle.

I really don't know where such a lowly, unaffiliated cultivator got such a strong following.

"Alright, Elder Chu, you may leave now. Don't have any improper thoughts, or I can't guarantee your safety!"

Hearing Chen Jiuge's threatening words, Chu Tianshu shuddered and said with an awkward smile, "How could that be? No way, no way!"

After Chu Tianshu left, Zi Qianlian looked puzzled: "Clan leader, since he recognized you, why didn't you just get rid of him?"

"No need, he can't cause any big trouble."

"Should I go back to the Seven Kill Army and ask them to return first?"

"No need. The plan remains unchanged. There are still quite a few people left in the Five Star Tribe. It's a good opportunity to see how many of them are still loyal. With the Seven Kill Army around, things will be more stable."

"Alright, you've worked hard too, go back and rest!"

"Yes, patriarch!"

Finally, only one person remained. A fiery glint appeared in Chen Jiuge's eyes as he released his divine sense, attempting to detect the presence of the spirit of the artifact.

However, Wenxin's spirit was too weak, so Chen Jiuge had to increase the strength of his divine sense as much as possible, which inevitably resulted in a backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

Just when I felt like my head was about to explode, I finally succeeded.

"The host of the Chaos Pearl? To be able to see its own kind before dying, truly..."

The refined and scholarly-looking Wen Xin Qi Ling sighed twice, shook his head and chuckled, "You seem different from that treacherous fellow Ying Cheng. I can sense the affection of many living beings emanating from you."

"But what does this have to do with me?"

"Listen up, host of the Chaos Pearl, I am the spirit of Wenxin. Although I don't know what happened while I was asleep, Wenxin suffered a devastating blow as soon as I woke up!"

"Hmm, a devastating blow? What does that mean?" Chen Jiuge looked at the artifact spirit in front of him with some confusion after realizing that he could speak.

"Wenxin is about to disappear, and the Nine Great Treasures will become the Eight Great Treasures!"

"what?"

"My time is running out, so let me lend you my final helping hand!"

Boundless spiritual energy poured into Chen Jiuge's body from the void, and the originally unbreakable bottleneck slowly disappeared, with the Great Luo Realm right before his eyes.

While breaking through to a higher cultivation level was a cause for celebration, Chen Jiuge was still shocked by what the artifact spirit had said earlier.

"What does this mean?"

"I don't know, but I vaguely heard a name."

"Great Lord of the Underworld—Avalokiteshvara!"

Chen Jiuge wanted to ask more, but a large amount of spiritual energy had already gathered, leaving him with no time to spare.

Chen Jiuge didn't know how much time had passed, but when she opened her eyes again, she found that everything was different.

True Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Golden Immortal, Great Luo Immortal.
Each breakthrough in a major realm represents a complete transformation of a cultivator!

The scenery before my eyes is more detailed, and my senses are more acute; with just a little effort, I can feel the immense power contained within my body.

"Is this the Great Luo?"

At this moment, Chen Jiuge finally understood what the Great Luo truly represented!
"No wonder Shui Bing and the others looked down on me before. It turns out that the power of the Great Luo has become this strong!"

Saying that I could blow myself to death with one breath is a bit of an exaggeration, but saying that I could slap myself to death is not an exaggeration at all!
"Now I understand why those cultivators treated me and Shui Bing as equals, and why even a Great Luo Immortal like Bei Nu followed me!"

"It's like a rat suddenly having a Tyrannosaurus Rex behind it!"

"But Wenxin."

Looking at the Wenxin that had been shattered into countless fragments, the joy in Chen Jiuge's eyes was quickly suppressed by a heavy heart.

"This is one of the nine supreme treasures, and it has been completely destroyed!"

"Great Venerable Avalokitesvara of the Underworld, what kind of being is this? Judging from the name, he should also be a being from the Underworld."

"But the Chaos Pearl, the Blood Soul, and the Primordial Realm are all in the True Realm. Why was Wen Xin left in the Heavenly Gift Realm and destroyed by the Yellow Springs Great Venerable?"

"No, Wenxin should be in the Underworld. What exactly happened during that time?"

Even the most precious treasures could be destroyed by powerful beings in the Underworld, filling Chen Jiuge with anxiety about the future.

"Perhaps I can no longer stay in the Heavenly Gift Realm. I must find a way to go to the Yellow Springs Realm!"

A name echoed in Chen Jiuge's mind, and he silently made up his mind! (End of Chapter)
