CHAPTER 1238: CHAPTER 1238: DISCOVERED!

Zhou Yu held a blood-red stone in his hand.

The stone, at first glance, had an irregular shape, and it was hard to discern its material, but it shimmered with a faint red glow, akin to a firefly’s tail.

Zhou Yu tried to probe into it with his Divine Sense, but was blocked by the red glow, unable to penetrate in the slightest.

Besides this, the stone had no special features.

Bai Qishan sighed:

"This is it."

"When I accidentally obtained this thing, I never imagined it would rush directly into my body. Over the years, it tormented me terribly, nearly costing my life."

"Finally, it’s out!"

"However, now that it has appeared, it’s likely to cause a bloody storm."

Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

"It doesn’t matter, unless a Martial King above Third Grade makes a move, otherwise, I won’t take others seriously."

"Furthermore, there’s Elder Li present, those forces wouldn’t dare to act too recklessly."

Bai Qishan shook his head and said:

"Xiao Yu, you mustn’t underestimate these people’s ambitions and courage."

"As long as there is enough benefit in front of them, they dare to do anything."

Li Qinglong also agreed with this statement.

Zhou Yu laughed lightly.

"Grandfather, there’s no need to worry."

"Right now, most of their attention is still on the quasi-Eighth Rank Pill Medicine."

Hearing this, Bai Qishan immediately reminded solemnly:

"Xiao Yu, you mustn’t underestimate these people."

"Your trick of ’hiding the sky and crossing the sea’ might fool many, but definitely not everyone, especially that old fellow Ao Tianlong. He’s extremely concerned about the Blood Jade and seems to have some unknown secrets."

"This matter, more than likely, cannot be concealed from him."

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Old Sky, rest assured, I have a plan."

"Even if they know, it doesn’t matter!"

Just as Zhou Yu and Bai Qishan were talking, Li Qinglong suddenly said:

"Zhou Yu, don’t you feel like there’s something off with this Blood Jade?"

Zhou Yu was taken aback, immediately looking at the Blood Jade in his hand.

"Elder Li, what do you mean?"

Li Qinglong spoke in a deep voice:

"The red glow on this Blood Jade seems to be the light emitted by people’s blood essence."

"Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, this Blood Jade is not yet fully saturated."

"I have a feeling it still wants to continue absorbing blood essence."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qishan hurriedly said:

"Elder Li is right, when this thing was in my Dantian, it kept absorbing my blood essence, and later, I had to use many methods to barely suppress it."

Li Qinglong spoke in a deep voice:

"Based on my many years of experience, anything that absorbs blood essence is never something good."

"The ancient cultivator’s cave related to this thing is likely an ominous place."

"Zhou Yu, you should think carefully."

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and spoke:

"Thank you, Elder Li, for the reminder."

"However, the old man once told me, wherever there is great opportunity, there are often great disasters."

"As they say, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. This is very normal. The thing is in hand now, and it would be too much of a waste to give up."

"When the time comes, I’ll be careful."

Upon hearing this, Li Qinglong also nodded.

At this point, this is all that can be done.

Then, Zhou Yu looked at Bai Qishan.

"Grandfather, you should know the location of the ancient cultivator’s cave, right?"

Bai Qishan nodded and said:

"Yes, I know."

"When I first obtained this Blood Jade, I also learned the location of the cave. It’s to the east of Hu City, on a deserted reef that’s rarely seen above the water."

"This reef almost never surfaces, so it has nearly never been discovered."

"That’s good."

"In that case, let’s set off tonight."

Zhou Yu immediately said.

"In the meantime, I have a few things to arrange."

"Alright."

Li Qinglong and Bai Qishan had no objections.

Zhou Yu returned to the Martial Pavilion and began making preparations.

This time, Zhou Yu did not intend to venture into the ancient cultivator’s cave alone; he planned to find some helpers, like those from the Tianyu Commerce Chamber.

Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, night fell.

Around midnight, Zhou Yu, Li Qinglong, and Bai Qishan quietly left the Bai Family.

After leaving the Bai Family, the three headed straight to the east of Hu City and quickly arrived at the seaside.

However, just as they were about to board a boat, three terrifying auras suddenly appeared without warning, instantly locking onto them.

Zhou Yu frowned and looked up, seeing familiar faces in his line of sight.

"Kan Jiulian!"

"Zhu Guanglu!"

"Ao Qingzhou!"

The three stood in the black night sky, glaring at them with cold smiles.

Kan Jiulian spoke:

"Mr. Zhou, where are you going so late at night?"

Zhou Yu squinted his eyes and said:

"Where I’m going, what does it have to do with you?"

"Your Han Family really is haunting, aren’t you? What? Do you want to force me to destroy your Han Family?"

Hearing this, Kan Jiulian laughed heartily.

"Ignorant child."

"You dare to claim you’ll destroy our Han Family after killing one King Realm cultivator of our Han Family."

"Let me tell you, not even you, nor your Martial Pavilion Headquarters, might have the ability to do so."

"Enough, there’s no point in talking to an ignorant person like you."

"If you want to destroy our Han Family, we welcome you anytime."

"As for today, I know what you’re up to."

"I can clearly tell you, your trick of ’hiding the sky and crossing the sea’ won’t work!"

"The ancient cultivator’s cave behind the Blood Jade isn’t something you can handle alone."

"Hand over the Blood Jade obediently!"
