Chapter 861: Chapter 351: To Be Drained Dry

However, Chu Yunyun was more concerned about what Chu Xisheng had mentioned about the changes in the Buzhou Mountain Imperial Court.

She was about to ask for more details when her expression suddenly changed, and she looked out the window.

At that moment, a sharp blade light pierced through the window, descending with a slashing momentum, landing with precision before Chu Xisheng.

“Blood Vengeance?”

Chu Yunyun recognized the elongated blade with its dark gold material infused with blood-red runes, knowing it was the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade.

After the blade light had fallen, it hovered before Chu Xisheng, humming and vibrating incessantly.

Chu Xisheng sighed painfully at the sight.

He had a spiritual connection with the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade and understood its intentions.

The problem was, he had just forced out nine drops of Lifebound Essence Blood and was still feeling weak.

Besides, he’d been away from home for over three months.

Upon returning home, naturally he should first attend to his wife.

Chu Xisheng rubbed his forehead with his hand, “Can’t you wait a bit longer? You’ve waited nearly a thousand years already, why the rush now?”

Yet the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade only trembled more fiercely.

A wave of Sword Qi formed, transforming into the shape of Vengeance, roaring at him in dissatisfaction.

Chu Yunyun laughed helplessly, “The Blood Vengeance Divine Blade urgently needs to be nurtured, you should satisfy it first.”

She now had the Blood Pool Crystals inside the Jade Bottle and didn’t care for Chu Xisheng’s blood anymore.

Unless Chu Xisheng’s Blood of Ten Thousand Ages continued to improve.

Chu Xisheng looked helpless as he carried the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade up to the second floor and sat down, then touched the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade with his hand.

At that moment, dark gold scales naturally appeared all over his body.

The smooth dark gold scales spread to the blade, making man and blade almost one entity.

The Little Flat Head also jumped out of his body, lying on the blade.

Their breath synchronized with the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade, their Qi Veins resonated, Dao Rhythm aligned, and their hearts interconnected.

Behind Chu Xisheng, a massive Vengeful Giant Beast manifested, majestic and lifelike as if real.

The Blood Vengeance Divine Blade continued its thunderous humming, revealing gold and red energies on its blade, coiling like giant pythons around Chu Xisheng’s upper arm.

The Sword Spirit of this Divine Blade expressed its excitement and joy in this way, showing its closeness.

Chu Xisheng’s face turned pale; he noticed his Qi Blood Essence rapidly depleting, flowing into the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade through the golden-red energies coiling around his arm.

The blade absorbed essence at a rate unknown how much faster than Chu Yunyun.

Chu Xisheng found his powerful recovery ability struggling to keep pace.

It was then that under the guidance of the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade, his Vengeful Blade Intent started to gradually form the two incomplete Heavenly Rules of ‘Mirror Sky’ and ‘Geng Metal,’ even giving birth to some ‘Revenge’ techniques.

His mind was slightly stirred, with a glint of difference in his eyes.

The Blood Vengeance Divine Blade was not only absorbing his Qi blood but also helping him perfect his Vengeful Blade Intent.

He soon forgot everything else, focusing entirely on the Vengeful Blade Intent demonstrated by the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade.

Meanwhile, on the first floor of the main building, Lu Luanti gazed wistfully towards the staircase.

This guy had just returned, and now he had to retreat again?

Judging by the appearance of the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade, it seemed very hungry; how long would it take for Chu Xisheng to satisfy it?

Chu Yunyun turned slightly to look out the window at Ji Qianqian outside.

The arrival of the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade was not unnoticed; did the woman see it? What would she choose to do?

Chu Yunyun immediately noticed that Ji Qianqian appeared absentminded and uncertain, seemingly oblivious to the flying Blood Vengeance Divine Blade.

She then raised her brows, recalling that Ji Qianqian had no reaction even when Lu Luanti’s three blades defeated Liu Ruoxi.

Chu Yunyun pondered what exactly this woman was thinking.

And Lu Luanti.

Ever since news of Li Changsheng’s sweep through the Imperial Palace returned, this girl seemed more carefree in front of Ji Qianqian, almost conceal nothing of her Martial Arts Skill.

What was in Lu Luanti and the Sword and Dream behind her’s mind?

At the same time, at the mountain gate of the Formless Divine Mountain, Ye Zhiqiu was selling some spoils she had obtained from Buzhou Mountain.

The plaque at this mountain gate contained Martial Arts True Intent inscribed by past sect masters, allowing disciples to study it for free, always a gathering place for the Formless Divine Sect’s Inner and Outer Sect disciples.

Beyond the mountain gate was a small marketplace, featuring various stores like those selling Magic Artifacts and elixirs, stations for sending tokens, renting, and selling Flying Devices, and many disciples set up stalls selling unwanted artifacts, elixirs, talismans, and Cultivation Techniques.

Unlike Chu Xisheng, Ye Zhiqiu didn’t have the entire Iron Banner Gang as backing, but her gains from the Time Secret Realm meant she wasn’t worrying about money for the time being.

She set up a stall by the mountain gate as soon as she returned to the Formless Divine Mountain.

During her journey to Buzhou Mountain, Ye Zhiqiu acquired several high-quality fourth and fifth-rank Magic Artifacts and some valuable elixirs she had no use for, intending to sell them for money.

While idly waiting for buyers, Ye Zhiqiu’s attention was suddenly caught as she looked down the mountain path.

It was a young man dressed in snow-white clothes, riding a majestic war horse, slowly making his way along the steep mountain path.

This youth in white was dazzling; his eyebrows were an understated shade of purple, angled like swords reaching his temples. His eyes were deep and dark, nose high and straight like the Iron Wall Mountain Range, lips thin with a rich color, exuding a gentle temperament like bubbling spring water.

Beside the youth in white was a handsome pageboy, also riding a noble war horse, with a zither hanging from his chest and a sword strapped to his back.

Ye Zhiqiu noticed these two not because of the youth’s unique aura, but because she recognized this person,

from the recent Debating Martial Arts events where she had seen his portrait.

This was Purple Eyebrow Heavenly Monarch Shui Ruge! The one displaced from the Qingyun Four Heavenly Monarchs by Chu Xisheng.

—Could this person be coming for Chu Xisheng?

As this thought arose in Ye Zhiqiu’s mind, she saw Shui Ruge stop his horse before the mountain gate.

He lifted his head, glanced at the enormous plaque, then laughed loudly, “Star Constellation Immortal Sect’s Shui Ruge, here to challenge Infinite Sword Lord Chu Xisheng, I seek a duel!”

In that instant, around the entire mountain gate area, countless cold and piercing gazes bore down on Shui Ruge.
