"None of you will escape. Once I refine you all into Blood Spirit Pills, your value will shine for the future of cultivators in the Nine Provinces. You should feel honored!"
Qu Tianlei chuckled and said, "Now that the demon race is in power, the cultivation of Xuan cultivators has stagnated. Without Blood Spirit Pills... how can the human race resist the demon race? You should feel honored that you have caught my eye and been refined into Blood Spirit Pills!"
"Bullshit! Demons, what's the difference between what you're doing and that of murderers? Even demons don't kill without cause! Your methods are cruel, you deserve to die!"
"I am the third young master of the Ning family of Shenyue City! Elder Qu... why are you arresting me too?!"
In the corner of the cage, the third young master of the Ning family opened his eyes and felt terrible.
He just liked drinking and womanizing, how did he end up in this godforsaken place the moment he opened his eyes?
Ning Jia San Shao, who had been pampered since childhood, had never seen such a scene before.
He started shouting and yelling until he saw the monk in the next cage being drained of blood.
The third young master of the Ning family was completely devastated; this was hell on earth!
He's still young, he doesn't want to die...
Qu Tianlei's gaze fell on Ning Sanshao, "Ning family's third young master?"
“Yes, Elder Qu, we met at the selection competition three years ago. I am Ning Xuan! The third son of the Ning family!” Seeing that Qu Tianlei still remembered him, Ning Xuan grasped at a straw.
"What a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" Ning Xuan said with a smile. "Now, can you let me go? Don't worry, I absolutely won't tell anyone about what happened here. Oh no, I didn't see anything! I promise I won't say a word!"
Ning Xuan wanted to pat his chest in confidence, but his hands were firmly bound by chains and he could not move; only his feet could move.
But he can only move within the chain's range; isn't that like being a prisoner?
Although the Ning family isn't a particularly powerful clan, it's certainly not weak! When has Ning Xuan ever suffered like this?
"Young Master Ning, it's all fate." Qu Tianlei rubbed his wrist. "Once you're in here, no one can get out."
Qu Tianlei wore a chilling smile. "Young Master Ning, you have a wood-type spiritual root. Your spiritual blood can at least refine three Blood Spirit Pills. You should feel honored."
"..." Ning Xuan was completely flustered. Realizing that Qu Tianlei had no intention of letting him go, he even stammered, "Elder Qu, I promise to keep my mouth shut. I didn't see anything here. Please let me go. I don't want to be bled out for pill refining."
Blood Spirit Pill... I thought to myself that I had once spent a lot of money to buy one and even consumed it.
Ning Xuan's stomach churned, and with a loud "waah," the contents of his stomach surged out, vomiting all over the floor.
"Although I will not let you go, I can still give you some preferential treatment."
"Wh-what?"
"This is an anesthetic pill. Take it when you have your blood drawn, and you won't feel any pain."
Qu Tianlei threw a grayish-brown pill into the cage, and the round pill rolled to Ning Xuan's feet.
"Elder Qu, please don't! If my father finds out I'm missing, he'll be searching everywhere for me! And then Elder Qu will be implicated..."
"Are you threatening me?" Qu Tianlei sneered. "It's a pity your father can't find out, because this is the Wang family. No matter how capable your father is, can he find out about the Wang family?"
"The Wang... Wang family..."
Boom! Upon hearing this, Ning Xuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. This was actually the Wang family! The number one family in Shenyue City... the Wang family!
On the surface, they appear glamorous and successful, but in reality, they are involved in murder and robbery.
Ning Xuan collapsed to the ground, completely stunned.
Qu Tianlei didn't take Ning Xuan seriously, but...
Bang! Qu Tianlei kicked the guard in the chest, his voice low: "If you grab people randomly again, I'll... refine you!"
"I will never dare to do it again! Elder, please calm your anger." The guards knelt on the ground.
Every one of the guards here has been given a puppet gu poison. Qu Tianlei only needs to gently activate the poison to make these guards suffer excruciating pain.
Liu Yue, inside the space, took in the entire scene.
Qu Tianlei...
Liu Yue had met this person a few times before. At that time, Qu Tianlei was just an ordinary alchemist in the Wang family!
I never imagined they would be secretly helping the Wang family with such shady dealings!
She remembered that the Blood Spirit Pill did not exist in the Nine Provinces Continent five years ago, which means that the Blood Spirit Pill was born after her 'death'.
Cultivation is divided into demonic cultivation and esoteric cultivation. Demonic cultivation is not tolerated by the world and relies on absorbing the internal energy of other cultivators to achieve its own cultivation goals!
Alchemists are divided into two categories, and the Blood Spirit Pill that Qu Tianlei refined... is one of the forbidden pills that his master once mentioned.
Only by using the spiritual blood released by a cultivator with a specific spiritual root as a catalyst can the pill be formed!
However, the price paid is a precious human life. Blood Spirit Pill can indeed improve a cultivator's cultivation level in a short period of time, but it is a demonic pill after all. If taken for a long time, it will lead to dependence, unstable foundation, and even demonic possession. At best, the cultivation level will be ruined, and at worst, the body will explode and the life will be in danger.
Jun Liuyue's eyes darkened slightly. She had just ascended to the Nine Provinces, but she hadn't expected that so many changes had occurred there. Not only had the Wang family stepped on the spiritual bones of cultivators to reach the pinnacle of power, but they were also secretly engaging in such shady dealings.
"It's absolutely disgusting." Liu Yue's lips moved slightly, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"who!"
A subtle surge of spiritual energy rippled in the air, which Qu Tianlei keenly sensed.
Across the space, Liu Yue and Qu Tianlei looked at each other.
The runes in Qu Tianlei's hand shot out and stopped in mid-air. His expression changed. Sure enough, someone had sneaked in.
He sneered, "What a fool who doesn't know what's good for him!"
The runes exploded in mid-air.
A long sword shot out from the void, aiming straight for Qu Tianlei's throat.
Qu Tianlei was completely taken aback by the speed of the attack. He had never expected that this little thief would be able to launch a counterattack while avoiding his rune attacks.
He darted backward, then activated the puppet Gu, and a guard pounced on him.
Having blocked the fatal blow, the scarlet longsword was stained with blood, becoming incredibly eerie.
The guards fell into pools of blood, and their bodies quickly decayed at a visible rate, disappearing without a trace.
Only a pool of blood remained.
It emitted a nauseating, fishy odor.
"Why do you dare not show yourself? Is it because you are ashamed to be seen by others?"
Qu Tianlei sneered; this person's cultivation was no less than his own!
He achieved his current level of cultivation only after consuming the Blood Spirit Pill.
There are only a handful of high-level cultivators on the entire Nine Provinces Continent who can catch his eye.
This person...
Who exactly is it?
They managed to avoid so many traps and sneak into this place.
"I've come to take your life."
In the void, a crimson figure came into view.
The Phoenix Sword returned to Liu Yue's hand. At this moment, Liu Yue was dressed in red, his black hair standing up high, and the spirited young man's eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.
The moment their eyes met, Qu Tianlei inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
Who are you?
