Chapter 224 Bloody Dagger

"This, this is the token of the Grand Elder of our Sanqing Palace. Where did you get it from?"

He stared at Huo Qinghuang closely, and all kinds of speculations emerged in his mind.

"No wonder it looks a bit like the token on your waist. It really is from your Sanqing Palace."

Huo Qinghuang nodded and said, "I found this token by accident at the bottom of Tianchi Lake. The body has weathered, but judging by the situation, it should have been poisoned by the giant python."

"Tianchi?"

Wu Chenzi's face suddenly changed, and he wanted to say something but held back.

After the demon tribe complied with the agreement and left the human sight, some of them retreated outside Shanhaiguan and occupied Changbai Mountain.

Human monks must also abide by the regulations and are not allowed to enter Changbai Mountain, otherwise they will bear the consequences.

As for why this token appeared at the bottom of Tianchi Lake, it may be related to a supreme elder who disappeared decades ago.

However, after all, this matter was caused by the Supreme Elder violating the agreement, and it would be shameful to make it public and difficult to tell outsiders.

"Thank you for telling me, I am very grateful. If you have free time in the future, you can come to my Sanqing Palace to discuss Taoism. We will definitely entertain you."

Wu Chenzi clasped his hands and said sincerely.

"good."

Huo Qinghuang nodded.

Wu Chenzi turned around and left with Wu Xinzi.

Huo Qinghuang nodded and watched them leave.

After everyone had gone away, she let out a long sigh and her face turned pale in an instant.

Using the power of the Phoenix Blood was a huge burden for her now. At this moment, she felt weak all over, as if all her strength had been drained away.

However, as we have reached an agreement with the Sanqing Palace not to disturb each other, we no longer have to worry about being discovered by those three and can develop secretly without any worries.

Huo Qinghuang was quite satisfied with this development.

Little did they know that the head of Sanqing Palace, Wu Yunzi, had already reported her existence to the founder and had also inquired about her origins.

It was because she didn't know, otherwise she would have vomited three liters of blood and beaten Wu Yunzi violently.

She forced herself to walk to a big tree, sat cross-legged, and began to regulate her breathing to recover.

The night is deep and the moonlight is like water.

Huo Qinghuang opened her eyes and felt that she had regained some strength.

She took out the Ghost King's bloody dagger and looked at it carefully.

The dagger was blood red all over, engraved with mysterious runes, and exuded a cold and bloody aura.

She used her skills to expel all the evil energy from the dagger.

The dagger suddenly became full of blood, as if it was made of blood.

"With this dagger, plus the power of the Phoenix Blood, my strength should be able to reach a new level."

Huo Qinghuang held the Bloody Dagger, felt the power contained in it, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although this dagger was originally full of evil energy, after her refining, it has been completely transformed into a pure blood-killing magic weapon.

For her, it is undoubtedly an extremely handy weapon.

She stood up and looked up at the night sky.

The moonlight shone on her body, highlighting her slightly pale face.

Although he had recovered some strength, the aftereffects of using the Phoenix Blood still existed.

After thinking about it, she took out a magical medicine from the cave and swallowed it in one gulp without caring whether it was wasted or not.

Just as Huo Qinghuang was concentrating on recovering, thousands of miles away in Maoshan Sect, Xuan Qingzi stood in front of the mountain gate, straightened his Taoist robe, and walked inside.

After taking only two steps, he stopped, thought for a moment, tugged at his Taoist robe, pulled down two strands of his hair, and looked extremely disheveled before he stepped into the mountain gate.

“Senior Brother!”

As soon as he entered the place where the head master Xuan Lingzi practiced, Xuan Qingzi covered his face and burst into tears.

"Brother, what happened? Why did you come back so soon?"

Xuan Lingzi opened his eyes, was shocked when he saw his appearance, and asked repeatedly.

"Brother, you don't know that Huo Qinghuang doesn't give face to our Maoshan Sect at all. I just asked a few questions, and she beat me up without saying a word. If I hadn't run fast, you wouldn't be able to see me now!"

Xuan Qingzi covered his face with one hand and cried out in grievance.

"What? How dare she be so presumptuous!"

Xuan Lingzi was furious. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

After a moment, he remembered something and asked again, "Where are Yufeng and the others?"

Hearing this, Xuan Qingzi's face suddenly showed a sad expression, and he choked up and said, "Yufeng and the others, they have been killed by that witch, and their souls have returned to the underworld!"

"You, what did you say?"

Xuan Lingzi was struck by lightning in an instant. He staggered and fell into the chair.

"My poor disciple!"

He pounded his chest, tears streaming down his face, and gnashed his teeth as he said, "Huo Qinghuang, my Maoshan Sect cannot coexist with you!"

Xuan Qingzi lowered his head, curled the corners of his mouth, and a hint of hatred appeared in his eyes.

Humph, if she dares to attack him, he will make that witch pay the price!

…

The top of the barren mountain.

After Huo Qinghuang refined the elixir, the spiritual power in his dantian was finally restored to a large extent. He slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

Just after taking a few steps, suddenly, a cold and biting wind blew past, mixed with a faint whistling sound, as if something was lurking in the distance.

Her face turned cold, her fists clenched unconsciously, and she looked around with a heavy gaze.

"Could it be that there are still remnants of the evil forces left?"

Huo Qinghuang muttered to himself, looking around vigilantly.

However, apart from the mottled shadows of the trees stretched by the moonlight, there were no signs of anything unusual.

Just as she was wondering, a black shadow flashed past her head at an extremely fast speed. If it weren't for her quick reaction, it would have been difficult to detect.

Huo Qinghuang quickly drew out the Bloody Dagger and looked up at the sky. She saw the black shadow circling in the air and then swooping down towards her again.

In the moonlight, she finally saw the shadow clearly.

It turned out to be a huge black bat, more than one meter tall, with its wings spread out like a huge black sail. Its sharp fangs flashed coldly in the moonlight, and its eyes emitted a bloodthirsty light.

"It's just an evil spirit."

Huo Qinghuang snorted coldly and drew his sword to kill.

In an instant, a bloody blade light instantly cut through the night sky and slashed towards the bat.

The bat was extremely agile and easily avoided the blade. It then flapped its wings violently, creating a gust of wind that blew up the surrounding fallen leaves and dust, forming a small vortex in an attempt to interfere with Huo Qinghuang's vision.

Huo Qinghuang's figure flashed, and he shuttled through the vortex like a ghost, waving the bloody dagger in his hand continuously, with sharp blade beams crisscrossing.

Although the bat was agile, it gradually showed signs of fatigue under Huo Qinghuang's attack.

Finally, Huo Qinghuang seized a flaw and stabbed the bloody dagger straight into the bat's chest.

"squeak!"

The bat let out a shrill scream, struggled a few times in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, turning into a pool of black blood that gradually dissipated.

Huo Qinghuang put away the bloody dagger, brushed off the dust on his body, and secretly thanked himself for having just swallowed a magical medicine, otherwise it would be really difficult to face this sudden attack.
