Chapter 190: Hidden Hand
“Master Xu, what should we do once the Demon Blood Great Pill is refined?”
Xiang Nanchun asked.
“Naturally, we will give the Demon Blood Great Pill to Feng Changge.”
Xu Ning smiled.
Xiang Nanchun pursed his lips and stopped talking.
He knew very well that there was definitely something wrong with this Demon Blood Great Pill, and Xu Ning was plotting against Feng Changge.
However, Xiang Nanchun chose to remain silent about this. He only hoped that Feng Changge would not find anything wrong, otherwise he would definitely be slapped to death.
“Let’s go and see Feng Changge.”
Xu Ning handed the Demon Blood Great Pill to Xiang Nanchun.
Xiang Nanchun took the Demon Blood Great Pill and placed it in a wooden box.
After making the preparations, the two walked out of the alchemy room.
“The Demon Blood Great Pill has been refined?”
Huang Zongshao was waiting outside the alchemy room with several disciples.
“That is right.”
Xiang Nanchun acted like a master, while Xu Ning remained silent.
When Huang Zongshao heard this, he glanced at Xu Ning and said, “I will go with you to see the Sect Master.”
Afterwards, Huang Zongshao followed behind the two, while the other disciples entered the alchemy room to clean up.
“A few days ago, did an enemy attack the Phantom Blood Sect?”
Xu Ning asked Huang Zongshao in a low voice.
He could still see the traces of a battle from a few days ago.
“A strong enemy did came.” Huang Zongshao also responded in a low voice. “It was Si Ying, the number one true disciple of the Thousand Flood Sect, and two common seal realm disciples. They killed three elders, nearly ten deacons, and more than a hundred disciples.”
“Thousand Flood Sect’s Si Ying?”
Xu Ning had heard of this name before. Apparently, her aptitude was even higher than He Mingye’s.
“That’s right.” Huang Zongshao said, “As soon as Si Ying broke through to the true domain realm, she found out where our sect was. She thought she could destroy the Phantom Blood Sect with a dao weapon, but she didn’t expect that Feng Changge had already broken through to become a half-step dao realm master and also possessed a damaged dao weapon. In the end, she was easily defeated by Feng Changge and is now imprisoned.”
“Is that so…”
Xu Ning nodded as he pondered.
The Thousand Flood Sect had a good relationship with the Yuelan Sect. If there was a chance, he would see if he could rescue Si Ying and her fellow disciples.
…
Inside the stone hall.
Feng Changge sat cross-legged alone.
Although he had just experienced a fierce battle three days ago, Feng Changge’s condition had been adjusted quite well.
The current Feng Changge felt that he could completely devour the Demon Blood Great Pill in a perfect state.
‘Now that three days have passed, no reinforcements have come for Si Ying yet. It seems that the decision to come to the Phantom Blood Sect should be personal and not the sect’s.’
Feng Changge opened his eyes with a sharp gaze.
He was afraid that Si Ying would have reinforcements, so he no longer hid in the sealed room. Instead he stayed in the stone hall to deal with any emergencies that might pop up.
‘Although we lost a lot of elites, being able to capture Si Ying alive and obtain a complete dao weapon is completely worth it.’
Feng Changge was even quite satisfied with this.
‘The only unfortunate thing is that the dao weapon is of the water attribute and not thunder. I can’t use it…’
Feng Changge felt a little regretful. ‘But it’s fine. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will exchange this water attribute dao weapon with someone else for a thunder attribute dao weapon.’
Although Feng Changge felt that he would break through to the dao realm soon, refining a dao weapon was quite time-consuming for a dao realm master.
Therefore, after entering the dao realm, he still had to use a dao weapon forged by others.
“Sect Master!”
Huang Zongshao’s voice came from outside the stone hall.
“What is it?”
Feng Changge asked.
“Alchemist Tao and Alchemist Xiang wish to see you.”
Huang Zongshao responded.
“The two of them want to see me?”
Feng Changge’s eyes flashed. ‘Do they want to see me because the Demon Blood Great Pill has been refined?’
“Please!”
Feng Changge stood up and walked towards the door of the stone hall.
“Sect Master Feng, I’m fortunate to not disappoint you, the Demon Blood Great Pill has been refined!”
As soon as Xiang Nanchun entered the stone hall, he took the initiative to speak.
“Good! Good!”
Feng Changge laughed loudly with an extremely excited expression. “Where is the Demon Blood Great Pill?”
“Right here.”
Xiang Nanchun brought out the wooden box containing the Demon Blood Great Pill.
Feng Changge carefully grabbed ahold of it, then he opened the wooden box and took out the Demon Blood Great Pill.
“Ssss…”
Feng Changge held the Demon Blood Great Pill and sniffed it with his nose. Instantly, his lungs were filled with fragrance.
Afterwards, he carefully observed the Demon Blood Great Pill.
Xiang Nanchun was nervous, afraid that Feng Changge would notice something wrong.
On the other hand, Xu Ning looked calm.
“That’s right, this is a Demon Blood Great Pill, and it is a perfectly refined Demon Blood Great Pill!”
Feng Changge’s hand even trembled slightly.
This was because the more perfect the Demon Blood Great Pill was, the less likely he would encounter danger after swallowing it, and the higher the probability of successfully advancing.
‘Xiang Nanchun really didn’t disappoint me…’
Feng Changge thought in his heart. He raised his eyes and glanced at Xiang Nanchun, then at Xu Ning and Huang Zongshao next to him. ‘It’s just that this Demon Blood Great Pill is too precious. If the pill formula and alchemy technique are revealed, it will be a huge loss for me.’
‘I have to hide this secret…’
Feng Changge lowered his head slightly to hide the ruthlessness in his eyes.
Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun did not notice this.
Only Xu Ning noticed something strange.
“Brother Xiang, your alchemy technique has improved greatly compared to back then!”
Feng Changge looked up again and patted Xiang Nanchun’s shoulder happily.
Xiang Nanchun was relieved.
It seemed that Feng Changge didn’t notice anything strange about the Demon Blood Great Pill.
“Thank you, Sect Master Feng.”
Xiang Nanchun responded.
“Zongshao, take Alchemist Xiang and Alchemist Tao to rest first. They must have consumed a lot of energy to refine this Demon Blood Great Pill, so they must rest well.”
Feng Changge waved his hand and said.
“Understood.”
Huang Zongshao accepted the order, not noticing anything strange about Feng Changge.
The moment the three of them turned around, Feng Changge’s face was filled with murderous intent.
“Thunder-attribute Extreme Blade!”
Without any warning, Feng Changge suddenly exploded, the true qi and attribute power in his body surged.
Three lightning blade seals suddenly condensed and rushed towards the three of them.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
In an instant, the three lightning blade seals pierced through the backs of the three people. The power of thunder spread out with the power of annihilation.
Xiang Nanchun was caught off guard, and his life was instantly ended.
Xu Ning also fell to the ground with Xiang Nanchun, as though he didn’t react in time.
Only Huang Zongshao noticed the danger ahead of time and turned his body slightly.
The thunder blade seal did not pierce his heart, but instead it severed his arm.
“Sect Master, what are you…”
Huang Zongshao turned around and looked at Feng Changge in horror.
“Zongshao, don’t blame me, the secret of the Demon Blood Great Pill cannot be exposed!”
This time, Feng Changge condensed several blade seals and suddenly slashed down, killing Huang Zongshao.
“My apologies.”
Looking at the three people on the ground, Feng Changge said in an apologetic tone, but the corners of his mouth were curved into a smile. “In order to keep the secret of the Demon Blood Great Pill from leaking, you have to suffer.”
‘I’ll deal with the disciples who have come into contact with the materials of the Demon Blood Great Pill, then I won’t have anything to worry about.’
Although he had killed a capable assistant, Feng Changge did not feel that it was a pity.
After he advanced to the dao realm, as long as he waved his arm, there would definitely be many Demon Sect experts coming to seek refuge. At that time, even a true domain realm master would be willing to follow him.
“Dao realm, here I come!”
Feng Changge stuffed the Demon Blood Great Pill into his mouth.
Gulp.
Feng Changge swallowed the entire Demon Blood Great Pill.
He felt the Demon Blood Great Pill distributing the medicinal properties in his body. His entire body began to feel the piercing pain of the surging medicinal properties.
‘This is the feeling!’
Although he was in pain, Feng Changge was excited.
The medicinal power of the Demon Blood Great Pill washed over Feng Changge’s limbs and bones.
‘The Demon Blood Great Pill will first cleanse my true qi and attribute power, then wash my blood and transform it into demon blood before condensing my true qi and attribute power again, thereby achieving a breakthrough!’
Feng Changge’s eyes were full of madness.
‘Once my blood transforms into demon blood, not only will I advance to become a true dao realm master, but I will also be able to cultivate even faster with demonic techniques in the future!’
The effects of the Demon Blood Great Pill were terrifying, which was why Feng Changge wanted to hide his secret and kill them.
‘After advancing to the dao realm master, I will dominate the seventeen states of the Abyss North. Then, I’ll cross the Endless Sea Abyss and head to State Wansheng to start another legend!’
Feng Changge was already looking forward to his future.
The true qi in Feng Changge’s body had been completely consumed by the medicinal properties.
Afterwards, his attribute power was completely worn down.
‘This seems a little too careless of me…’
Feng Changge was blinded by the desire to advance quickly, so he didn’t consider the environment where he was advancing.
Now that he had no true qi or attribute power in his body, Feng Changge was just an ordinary mortal realm martial artist.
‘But it’s okay, I’m safe in the sect. Moreover, I only need a short time for my normal blood to be replaced with demon blood, so it’s not a problem at all.’
Feng Changge slowly calmed himself down.
Time slowly passed by.
“Huh?”
Feng Changge gradually noticed that something was wrong. ‘My true qi and attribute power has already been wiped clean so why hasn’t my blood been cleansed after so long?’
Feng Changge was a little flustered.
‘Could there be a problem with the refinement of the Demon Blood Great Pill?’
Feng Changge began to panic. ‘Impossible, the quality of this Demon Blood Great Pill is obviously perfect!’
‘Impossible, there can’t be a problem…’
Feng Changge couldn’t stay calm anymore.
Pfft!
As his mental state was getting unstable, the medicinal properties in Feng Changge’s body suddenly went out of control, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
‘Not good, is my advancement going to fail?’
Feng Changge knew very well that once his advancement failed, he would drop a major realm, or even die.
‘What should I do! What should I do!’
Feng Changge became more and more flustered.
“Hold your breath and calm your mind, maybe it will get better.”
A voice suddenly rang out in the silent stone hall.
Feng Changge looked up and saw that Alchemist Tao, who he had killed before, was standing in the stone hall.
