Chapter 319 The Blood Abyss is About to Begin: A Favor from Situ Hong (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!!!)

"Hey, have you forgotten about Guiling City?"

Zuo Qiuming punched Wang Yu the moment they met.

It wasn't a serious matter; he was just venting his anger. He had been gone for more than six years, and Zuo Qiuming really couldn't handle it. No matter how prosperous Guiling was, it was far less convenient than the Holy Sect's mountain gate.

Not only did they wait in vain for news, but they also learned from Zhuo Shouqing that he was going to enter the Blood Abyss again, and that would take thirty years. By the time Wang Yu came out, he would be two hundred years old.

How can we tolerate this?

Wang Yu smiled sheepishly and explained with a shrug.

“Isn’t this to help Zhuo Shouqing? You don’t want your second son to die at Zhuo Shouyun’s hands, do you? Among his people, only I, Wang, am capable of handling this matter.”

Zuoqiu Ming opened his mouth, but finally let out a long sigh.

He said dejectedly.

"You're right. Here, take this storage bag. All the spirit stones I've earned in Guiling City during this time are in here."

"Thanks."

Wang Yu accepted it without hesitation. In just six years, he earned more than 1.3 million spirit stones. As expected of a spirit-producing machine, it was a highly productive one.

This amount hasn't reached its limit yet. Once the alchemists and Core Formation experts he sends over start to take effect, the earned spirit stones can be increased even further.

Seeing how familiar the two were with each other, Zhuo Shouqing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Xing, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, had only a so-so relationship with Wang Yu. He mostly followed in the footsteps of the two brothers and didn't want to be left behind.

Over the years, he has contributed the least: "Wang Yu, you have a great reputation these past few years, and you've done a good job."

These words, though seemingly a compliment, carried a strong air of superiority. Wang Yu frowned slightly but still held back.

"Brother Yu, you flatter me. Now that everyone is here, let's have a proper talk."

Zhuo Shouqing nodded and pulled the two of them into the cave.

Reception room.

After activating the magic circle, Zhuo Shouqing recounted all the recent events in detail and also explained their plan.

The three brothers had shared joys and sorrows for many years, and their bond was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even though Wang Yu nominally joined them, he still could not compare with any of them.

This is only natural, and there's nothing to complain about.

"That's roughly the situation. Lao Yu, Lao San, what do you two think?"

Zuo Qiuming was as straightforward as ever.

“I have no objection, Fourth Brother… Regardless of whether there is a contract or not, I will definitely acknowledge you as my friend.”

"That's great."

Wang Yu smiled and raised his glass in a toast.

He knew Zuo Qiuming wouldn't refuse, but he didn't know what Yu Xing would choose. He was crucial in this negotiation among the four.

The Styx Pact cannot be dissolved if even one party disagrees.

Coercion and bribery won't work; it has to come from the heart.

A moment of silence.

Yu Xing said carefully, "Shouqing, can you tell me about the new contract you're planning to sign? It's not that I don't trust Wang Yu, it's just... as your brother, I don't want to see you suffer."

There seemed to be no problem with saying those words.

This actually made both Wang Yu and Zhuo Shouqing's hearts tighten. In the face of Zhuo Shouyun's series of schemes recently, it was impossible for their relationship to be exactly the same as before.

Huang Jiu's constant accompaniment is proof of this!

Wang Yu understands him, and he understands Wang Yu.

Without the binding of contracts and interests, parting ways is the best outcome. He failed to uphold the principle of opening up to Wang Yu from the beginning, while Zuo Qiuming and Wang Yu had a very close relationship.

Even without a contract, Lao Ming and Wang Yu can trust each other.

He can't do it!

Yu Xing's words seemed to expose the rift again; that's just his personality.

Zhuo Shouqing said with a hint of helplessness.

"Wang Yu only mentioned this one condition: after entering the Blood Abyss, my needs will be the primary guiding principle, and the new contract will end when we leave the Blood Abyss."

"Zhuo Shouyun and I will also be separated by life and death. No matter what the outcome, everything should be settled."

"Fine."

After hearing his words, Yu Xing finally nodded; he had to consider Zhuo Shouqing's feelings to some extent.

Next.

Regarding the new contract, Yu Xing slightly modified some of the terms, changing some lenient conditions and ambiguous statements into mandatory clauses.

Wang Yu stared at Yu Xing for a moment with narrowed eyes. As the atmosphere gradually became tense, he nodded. This was the last time he would pay back the debt!

After the new contract was signed, Zhuo Shouqing and he both breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

"Um."

night.

The banquet proceeded as planned, and apart from the absence of the beautiful concubines' special services, it was no different from before.

Zuo Qiuming specifically sought him out and explained the arrangements for Guiling City. He left a few trusted confidants there as supervisors, while handing over control to Qingyang Zhenren.

Wang Yu had no objection to this; he still trusted Qingyang to some extent.

"By the way, the Blood Abyss training is extremely dangerous. This is information about the Blood Abyss from my Zuoqiu clan. Think it over carefully and don't be careless."

"Thanks, Brother Ming is still the most reliable."

Wang Yu accepted the intelligence jade slip with a smile, which made Zuo Qiuming slightly annoyed: "You rascal, when there's something to discuss, Brother Ming is there, but when there's nothing to discuss, you're nowhere to be seen."

After a playful, gentle shove, Zuo Qiuming took out a black talisman with blood-patterned markings and handed it to him, giving him earnest instructions.

"This is the Blood Abyss Sacred Talisman. Nascent Soul disciples and their descendants will prepare one for their own children. If they encounter a fatal crisis, they can use this item to instantly teleport outside the Blood Abyss."

"After activation, there is approximately a three-breath activation period. It is crucial to seize the opportunity to use it, prioritizing your survival."

"this--"

Wang Yu hesitated. He hadn't expected Zuo Qiuming to prepare something like this for him. Yu Xing wanted him to fight to the death, but he wanted him to live.

The difference in personality immediately becomes apparent when comparing the two.

He patted him on the shoulder and said this as a final remark.

"The effects of the Blood Abyss Sacred Symbol have been verified by many people. Even if the Blood Abyss is closed, it can forcibly move you out of it and will randomly appear at the entrance of the rift passage. Be careful."

"I see."

"I've said everything I needed to say. I hope we'll meet again someday."

"Don't worry, it definitely will."

Not long after seeing Zuo Qiuming off, Wang Yu was sitting cross-legged, preparing to cultivate, when Zhuo Shouqing sneaked over.

"Wang Yu, there are some things you need to prepare before entering the Blood Abyss. I've prepared them all for you."

"Come in and talk."

"good."

After Zhuo Shouqing entered the room, he took out the items one by one and began to introduce them.

"This is the Zhuo family's intelligence on the Blood Abyss. It needs to be carefully studied. I have marked the parts that require special attention."

The information on the jade slips was slightly different, but they were largely the same, and Wang Yu was very satisfied.

Then came the second spiritual item.

When Zhuo Shouqing introduced the situation, his voice became low and deep.

"This is the [Heaven and Earth Sealing Talisman], which can seal spatial teleportation techniques, including those of the fourth rank. If you encounter Zhuo Shouyun and are confident that you can capture him alive, do not hesitate and act decisively."

"good!"

This talisman is different from the Blood Abyss Sacred Talisman. It has a purple background with silver patterns. Just holding it in your hand gives you a sense of heaviness and strong spatial fluctuations. It is a one-time use spiritual item.

Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As expected of one of the three great families, even a useless young master can possess a treasure of this caliber. They are indeed not to be underestimated. Zhuo Shouqing must have paid a heavy price to obtain this item.

If it weren't for the battle at the Evil God's Workshop, which showed him his own strength, he certainly wouldn't have revealed it so easily.

After the two items are handed over, the last item is completed.

Wang Yu initially thought it was the Blood Abyss Sacred Talisman, but it wasn't. He raised an eyebrow and examined the spiritual object with amusement.

He couldn't help but think to himself.

It seems that Zhuo Shouqing and Yu Xing share the same idea: they both hope that he will risk his life to deal with Zhuo Shouyun in the Blood Abyss, and therefore do not want him to have any way out.

Although I had expected it, I was still somewhat disappointed.

Let's get back to the essence of trading.

"This is—the Bloodsac Robe!"

"In the Blood Abyss, ordinary concealment techniques are difficult to use, as those blood beasts and blood slaves possess quite powerful sensory instincts."

"Once inside, it will mean one battle after another."

"If you are accidentally injured, that land will forcibly take your blood. Not only will the wound be difficult to heal, but it will also attract a large number of blood-path creatures to attack."

"This robe is made from the skin of a bloodline being, which can buy you time to rest and recover, but it can only be activated with bloodline magic."

"Once you're inside, seize the blood crystals from the blood beast as quickly as possible to power the Blood Sac Robe. Be extremely careful not to damage the robe, or you might not last thirty years."

The Bloodsac Robe appeared to be made from human skin, with a pale red color and covered with wailing gray human faces. It felt incredibly smooth to the touch and had a faint warmth to it.

It's really weird.

However, Zhuo Shouqing's preparations were very thorough. He had prepared everything except for leaving Wang Yu no way out.

At that moment, he thought of Zuo Qiuming.

He then gave him a Blood Abyss Sacred Talisman, presumably because he had guessed that Zhuo Shouqing would do this.

After giving their instructions, the two chatted for a few more minutes before taking their leave.

Wang Yu then began to study the intelligence of the two families. When it was almost dawn in the middle of the night, seeing that Yu Xing showed no intention of coming over, he gave up his thoughts.

He sat in meditation and cultivated diligently, continuing to refine the supreme Guanghan Pill within his body.

The refining process for this elixir has been taking a little too long.

With the Blood Abyss about to open, he didn't plan to go out for anything else, focusing instead on cultivation and grinding away at the Lesser Asura Killing Fist technique, ever since his last battle with Lu Chenzhou.

After unexpectedly comprehending the killing intent of blood, he entered the fast lane of supernatural power cultivation, just like when he comprehended the killing intent slab before. Perhaps it won't be long before he can truly step into the perfect realm.

Vaillant will take another step forward.

in this way.

With the departure of the three young masters of Ni Ling, the entire Ni Ling Blood Sect entered a state of preparation for the Blood Abyss. The return of a large number of direct descendants made the sect increasingly lively.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the meantime, Situ Hong, whom Wang Yu hadn't seen for a while, took the initiative to visit. Wang Yu had owed him two favors when he was young, and this time he came to visit because of the Blood Abyss.

To be precise, it's about the Peach Blossom Ghost Mother!

The Peach Blossom Demon Mother will participate in this Blood Abyss trial. Situ Hong hopes that Wang Yu can help him kill this fiend and help him get rid of his status as a Star Slave.

Situ Hong had now reached the third level of Foundation Establishment, but his hair had turned quite white.
