Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 281 Zhao Shuang almost took the blame for Ma Liang

"So what does Brother Zhao want? Do you want to destroy our entire Blood Bone Sect?"

After the masked man learned of Zhao Shuang's identity, his expression became even uglier as he questioned.

After all, Zhao Shuang really has this ability, but even so, their Blood Bone Sect will not allow themselves to be slaughtered.

"Don't be nervous. I'm not that overbearing. I'm not going to destroy your sect and slaughter everyone. Here's the compensation list. Take a look at it, fellow Daoist! If you can produce it, then this matter will be over. If you can't, hehe, then we'll have to think it over carefully. I believe you will make the right choice."

Zhao Shuang took out a jade slip and handed it to the masked man, chuckling.

Seeing this, the masked man's expression eased a little and he took the jade slip and began to examine it.

At this time, Zhao Shuang raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"You two fellow Daoists have been watching for so long, why don't you come out and meet me?"

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud "boom" and the scorching sun exploded. Then, two figures appeared, floating in the sky facing each other.

One was a young man in a Taoist robe, and the other was a white-haired old woman with wrinkles all over her face. Both of them exuded an astonishing aura of fluctuations.

Seeing this scene, the masked man's expression changed again and he spoke.

"Madam Wanhua, Taoist Qingping, I didn't expect that you two would have time to come to my Blood Crane City."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please forgive me for disturbing you."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wanhua spoke.

"Alright, you guys can tell me what you want to say later. Brother Xiao, should I agree to my conditions?"

Zhao Shuang smiled.

"Okay, I agree to Brother Zhao's conditions, but I need time to prepare. I hope you can forgive me."

The masked man Xiao Ming nodded and agreed.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is indeed a straightforward person. In that case, Zhao will not disturb you any more. Please feel free to ask for anything you want!"

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang was in a good mood. He then glanced at Madam Wanhua and Taoist Qingping, and said goodbye and left.

After Zhao Shuang left, Madam Wanhua began to ask.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, what was that just now?"

"He is the human Daoist Zhao who killed the mother of the Demon Realm borer. If you two Daoists encounter him, it is best not to provoke him."

The masked man Xiao Ming reminded in a deep voice.

"What? It's him."

Madam Wanhua and Taoist Qingping were horrified.

"Yes, it's him, so don't provoke him."

The masked man Xiao Ming nodded and reminded again.

"What brings you two here this time?"

"Well... the two of us came here together, naturally for that matter."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wanhua and Taoist Qingping looked at each other and spoke.

"Sure enough, I didn't expect you guys to be attracted here too."

The masked man Xiao Ming naturally understood what Madam Wanhua and Taoist Qingping were talking about.

"It's such a big deal. Of course we have to come!"

Madam Wanhua said lightly.

"I just don't know if that fellow Daoist Zhao from the human race just now also came for this reason. If so, we might be in some trouble."

Taoist Qingping was worried again.

"We can't stop this kind of thing, we can only let it happen. If he really came because of that incident, I'm afraid all the fellow Taoists who came this time will be in trouble. We can only hope that we don't run into him."

The masked man Xiao Ming said in a deep voice.

There was nothing they could do about it, since they couldn't defeat Zhao Shuang, a Mahayana cultivator from the human race.

The fact that Zhao Shuang had killed the mother of the rice borer alone made them wary and they knew they were no match for him.

Not to mention, there are various battle records. In this situation, they have no choice at all.

"Hopefully!"

Madam Wanhua also sighed and said.

The pressure brought by Zhao Shuang is too great. It is not impossible for them to cope with it, but it is extremely difficult.

"Okay, let's talk about the Tianding Palace! I want 90% of the gains from our joint efforts this time."

Before the masked man Xiao Ming finished speaking, Madam Wanhua could no longer sit still. She flew into a rage and spoke rudely.

"Old Monster Xiao, are you kidding me? You're planning to take 90% of the Tianding Palace's harvest and only give 10% to me and Daoist Fellow Qingping. Do you really think we're nothing?"

"If you also have the key to Tianding Palace and know the approximate location of the opening in advance, you are also qualified to put forward such conditions." The masked man Xiao Ming said lightly without caring.

"If we hadn't known that Fellow Daoist Xiao had these two things, we wouldn't have come to see him in person. However, we can only keep 10%, which is really too much."

Taoist Qingping said with a frown.

"Don't forget, the two of you, what exactly is this Tianding Palace? Without the key in my hand, how can you get in? The price I paid for this key is far beyond your imagination. Leaving 10% of the treasures for you two fellow Taoists is already a lot." The masked man Xiao Ming had no intention of giving in at all.
"We naturally believe what Fellow Daoist Xiao says, but there's more than one key to the Tianding Palace, and Fellow Daoist only possesses one. Furthermore, quite a few forgeries appeared last time. While these forged keys won't allow anyone to enter the Tianding Palace safely, they're more than enough to sense the palace's opening time and approximate location. If you're willing to risk your life, you might as well give it a try."

Madam Wanhua continued.

"Of course, I know this very well. However, the key in my hand must be genuine. Please rest assured, fellow Taoists. If not, why would I offer you such conditions?"

Xiao Ming chuckled and said confidently.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, it's worth our trip."

"When the Tianding Immortal Palace opens this time, not to mention the low-level beings like those who have come to try their luck at the Fusion Refining Void stage, even beings like us will undoubtedly be present. After all, this is the remaining cave dwelling of Tianding Zhenren, who survived the most great celestial tribulations on this continent a million years ago and ultimately succeeded in ascending. Who knows how many treasures and elixirs of great use to us must be found within. At least from the secret techniques and other items left within, we can understand the methods this Tianding Zhenren used to overcome those great celestial tribulations. This alone will tempt countless old monsters. Without our help, Fellow Daoist Xiao Ming, even if he could enter the Tianding Immortal Palace, would he be sure to obtain the precious treasure and escape safely? Besides, aren't you afraid that we two will find someone else with the key after we return, collaborating with them, thus adding two more competitors out of thin air?"

At this time, Taoist Qingping continued.

"Are you threatening me?"

Hearing what Taoist Qingping said, the masked man Xiao Ming's face darkened and his tone became cold again.

"It's not a threat. However, let's not talk about other people, just the human fellow Zhao, could it be that fellow Xiao is sure he can deal with him?" Taoist Qingping brought up Zhao Shuang again.

"You...that Fellow Daoist Zhao, I naturally know I am no match for him, but even if you help me, what chance do I have of winning?"

The masked man Xiao Ming sneered sarcastically.

Obviously, they didn't think they could provide much help to Zhao Shuang, who was almost the number one in the spiritual world. After all, the person involved was Zhao Shuang, the number one Mahayana cultivator in the spiritual world.

It is almost equivalent to the master of Tianding Palace, Tianding Zhenren, whom they are now going to visit. In this case, how much help can Madam Wanhua and Taoist Qingping, whose strength and magical powers are not as good as those of the masked man Xiao Ming, provide?

Sure enough, after hearing what the masked man Xiao Ming said, Madam Wanhua and Taoist Qingping fell silent.

Zhao Shuang, the culprit behind all this, has now reunited with Yin Yue, Blood Soul Fairy, and Zhu Guoer.

……

"That's not necessarily true. It seems that Fellow Daoist Qingping, it's time for us to tell Fellow Daoist Xiao about your true lineage."

Suddenly, Madam Wanhua was silent for a long time before she looked at Taoist Qingping and said.

Hearing this, the masked man Xiao Ming also looked at Taoist Qingping. Taoist Qingping sighed softly, then moved his mouth slightly and began to transmit his voice.

"I'm so ashamed. Actually, my true inheritance is..."

Xiao Ming didn't seem to take it seriously at first, but after a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up with an expression of surprise and joy.

……

From a dark and hidden space in the Wanyue Mountains, a pleasant sigh suddenly sounded:
"Finally, the day has finally come when the palace gates will open. After being trapped for so many years, I can finally leave this place and see the light of day again."

At the same time, in a small valley on the edge of the Wanyue Mountains, more than a hundred high-level practitioners in various costumes were gathered together, performing an unknown huge magic formation.

A burly and dignified man in brocade clothes stood beside him, watching all this with an expressionless face.

……

In a strange swamp filled with countless poisonous insects, a small tripod with green light is enshrined on a light blue stone platform.

Near the stone platform, three old men with extremely ugly faces were sitting cross-legged in different directions, practicing something with their eyes closed and serious expressions.

……

"The eight nations near the Qiyun Mountains, including Yuguang and Chuanyun, were all destroyed. How is this possible?"

At this moment, Biying of the Helian Merchant Alliance on the Blood Sky Continent, after hearing his subordinate's report, was horrified. "Lord Biying, everything you just said is completely true. From top to bottom, from the rulers and ministers to the common people, all of these eight nations mysteriously vanished a month ago. Not a single survivor has been found."

A man in yellow from the Helian Business Alliance replied in a low voice.

"Such an astonishing thing, the immortal cultivation sects and clans in the mountains should not be unaware of it."

Biying's face was still very ugly, but she kept asking.

After all, such a big thing happened, he naturally had to pay more attention, ask more questions, and investigate the situation.
"Your Excellency Biying, I have also investigated and I'm afraid the other sects in the mountains will suffer the same fate."

The man in yellow replied with a wry smile.

"What? They also disappeared? How is that possible? The combined strength of the Nineteen Sects is considered a formidable force in the entire Blood Sky Continent. Even our alliance would find it difficult to wipe them out silently."

Biying's eyes flickered a few times before she spoke slowly.

Obviously, he was a little bit unconvinced.

"It's not that there are no clues at all. According to the results of the investigation, there are only two possibilities. One is that they volunteered, and the other is that the other party's magical power is so strong that they have no power to resist at all."

The man in yellow spoke.

"Then which possibility do you think it is?"

碧影
Biying asked back.

"It should be the second one." The man in yellow replied without much thought.

"why?"

"Let's not talk about the mortals from the eight nations, even those sects and clans would definitely not leave voluntarily. Moreover, there is still a lot of blood aura in the entire Qiyun Mountains. It is obvious that high-level cultivators with blood skills have performed blood sacrifices."

"Nine out of ten chances, he's a Heavenly Venerable-level Mahayana Blood Dao master."

The man in yellow analyzed them one by one.

"You're right, but no matter which possibility it is, we must investigate it thoroughly. Especially the nearby Blood Path Sect. Although their possibility is not high, we must investigate them. You can arrange this matter. Once you have a clue, report it immediately. Such a big thing must have a result."

Biying made arrangements and gave instructions in a deep voice.

"Yes, Lord Biying, I obey your command."

The man in yellow said respectfully,
After saying that, he took his leave and left.

"Who could it be?"

"Could it be him?"

Biying thought of Zhao Shuang, who could almost be said to be the number one person in the spiritual world.

"Impossible. He's not good at blood-related techniques, so it shouldn't be him. However, we can ask him for help. As long as we pay a high enough price, it shouldn't be a problem to ask him for help."

Biying was quite clear about Zhao Shuang's strength and abilities, and knew that as long as it wasn't Zhao Shuang himself, then asking Zhao Shuang to do something would not be a big deal.

At the same time, in the north of the Qiyun Mountains that they had just been discussing, the surface of a giant lake was emerald green. After the spring breeze blew, ripples appeared on the surface, and some fish and shrimps were swimming under the water. Everything seemed normal.

However, at the bottom of this lake lay a bottomless underwater canyon. The canyon was filled with countless restrictions. And within these restrictions, a lingering blood mist permeated the entire canyon, dyeing it a bright red, making it impossible to see anything within.

At the same time, beneath the blood mist, there was a river of blood, black and red in color, a hundred feet wide, with no end in sight.
On the surface of the blood river, a blurry figure was sitting cross-legged.

The figure made hand gestures with one hand and held a glittering object in the other. Streams of sticky blood flew out from the river and sank into it.

It was none other than Ma Liang, who caused the tragedy on the Blood Sky Continent.

At this moment, he was refining a treasure that required the blood of many living creatures to be completed. For this treasure, he was even punished to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion in the fairy world.

Now that the moment of successful refining is finally approaching, he is naturally extremely happy.

Zhao Shuang, who almost took the blame for him, was studying the Xuhuang Ding he had just acquired.

This was obtained from the Blood Soul Fairy.
