Chapter 484 The Blood Pill Seed and the Ice River Pass Incident
Regardless of external changes, it remains steadfast and unmoved.
Wang Yu's life in seclusion in the demon realm was very regular. He either refined pills, comprehended the meaning of the Dharma, or practiced supernatural powers and secret techniques, filling his time to the brim.
Occasionally, I would visit Kuangmei Mountain to catch up with the Ice Spirit Fairy.
After their first attempt at dual cultivation, the second attempt did not go smoothly. However, when Wang Yu visited for the third time, he was a little more assertive, and the other party finally agreed.
This discovery gave Wang Yu a sudden realization.
It turned out that it wasn't that she didn't want to, but rather that she was concerned about her reputation and didn't want to embarrass the senior cultivator, which was why she was being exceptionally reserved and restrained, rather than truly unwilling.
As long as Wang Yu shows an attitude of taking an inch and wanting a mile.
Ice Soul Fairy would then half-heartedly comply, clearly having gained considerable benefits from the dual cultivation process and becoming somewhat addicted.
Their relationship also became increasingly close.
In the blink of an eye.
Three years have passed, and Wang Yu has just refined his second Blood Infant Pill. At the moment when his total demonic energy has accumulated to 70,300 drops and he is still in the stage of calming his Qi Sea, a trouble quietly comes knocking.
Peng Qing, an old acquaintance of the Tianpeng Clan, explained rapidly, "Master Wang, this time it's people from the Refining Heaven Demon Sect who have come. They specifically asked to see you."
Wang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and his brows furrowed immediately.
"The Refining Heaven Demon Sect has sent people to our door?"
His offense against Chi Tian was known throughout the land.
If the Five-Colored Holy Lord wanted to use his alchemy skills, he would find a way to protect him, not let him take such a risk, and certainly not publicize his position.
Therefore, it seems that the most suspicious person is the Soul Spirit Lord, the envoy from the Biyun Sect a few years ago.
"So... upon discovering that the Azure Cloud Sect couldn't suppress the Northern Demon, they simply chose to leak the secret, allowing the Refining Heaven Demon Sect to exert pressure? Was it to vent their anger? Or to seek revenge..."
This thought flashed through Wang Yu's mind, but he quickly realized that something was wrong.
In fact, if one is even slightly clever, considering the incident of attacking the Biyun Sect's support team, there are only a few places where Wang Yu is hiding.
It's reasonable to deduce his location.
What truly puzzled him was the Five-Colored Holy Lord's attitude, which was indeed quite strange.
"No need for further words, let's go and meet this envoy."
"this--"
Peng Qing was taken aback, but continued to earnestly persuade him.
"The Holy Lord has gone on a long journey, and King Tianpeng has accompanied him. Currently, only the nine Demon Kings remain in the Northern Demon Clan. The King has instructed me to keep an eye on you and not to act rashly."
"Oh? Did the Five-Colored Holy Lord ask you to pass on a message?"
"Well... yes, he said I should follow your orders."
"That's enough, let's go."
Wang Yu felt much more relaxed after receiving this response.
He knew that the Five-Colored Holy Lord was no ordinary person; he was a cunning and scheming old fox. But being on the same side as such a teammate made him feel incredibly safe.
He still trusted the mind of the Five-Colored Holy Lord.
Helpless, Peng Qing led Wang Yu to the reception area in the front hall. The so-called envoy of the Refining Heaven Demon Sect was an acquaintance whom Wang Yu had "long admired".
I also met Xue Danzi, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, after the Dongjijing Ruins were fully revealed!
One of the pinnacles of human alchemy.
Having mastered the fifth-order Human Pill Technique passed down by the Limitless Demon Lord, Chi Yuan has extensive connections within the demonic path. It can be said that among the Nascent Soul cultivators who have reached the later stages of cultivation, very few have not tasted the Blood Pill technique.
"So you are Senior Xue Danzi. I've heard so much about you."
Wang Yu treated him with courtesy and respect, and did not regard the entire Refining Heaven Demon Sect as an enemy because of his conflict with Chi Tian.
Xue Danzi's facial features appear aged, with many age spots.
His gray-white hair was casually draped over his shoulders. He had no eyebrows or pupils and wore a faceless robe made from a large number of human faces. He exuded a strong bloody aura.
Just looking at it is enough to inspire awe.
He was a true demon with countless lives on his hands, and his early life was like a horror story. After meeting Wang Yu, he unexpectedly twitched his nose.
"The taste of the Blood Infant Pill... You attacked the Biyun Sect's team for their Nascent Soul? Tsk tsk, you really are a born demonic cultivator."
"Your mastery of the Human Alchemy technique is quite good. Would you be interested in exchanging ideas with me?"
Xue Danzi did not mention his purpose for coming, but he wanted to exchange alchemy techniques.
This suggestion was completely unexpected, while Wang Yu was still pondering whether there was any hint in his words about dealing with these old monsters.
It was a powerful opponent, so Wang Yu couldn't afford to be careless.
"We can discuss the exchange later. Senior Xue Danzi is here on behalf of the Refining Heaven Demon Sect, so let's get straight to the point... What does the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord want to say to this junior?"
"clever."
Xue Danzi sized him up and paced back and forth for a few steps.
"The Crimson Heaven Demon Lord instructed me to prepare two sets of explanations. Now it seems you do possess some skill, to the point that the Northern Demon Clan protects you so much. Is it because of your alchemy skills?"
Wang Yu raised an eyebrow, sensing something with his divine sense as well.
I feel much more relaxed now.
King Leilin and King Huoya arrived, but instead of rushing in to listen, they deliberately stayed away from the hall where the two were talking, intentionally revealing their presence.
The intention couldn't be clearer.
Used as a deterrent! To intimidate Xue Danzi and prevent him from taking action.
"My alchemy skills are quite decent, and I'm not limited to the Human Pill Technique. If Senior Blood Pill Master is willing to exchange it for a fifth-order Human Pill Technique, then anything you want is negotiable."
Xue Danzi burst out laughing.
Unexpectedly, before he could even propose such an unequal deal, the other party's probing tactics were already incredibly skillful.
They immediately stopped speaking in riddles.
"To tell you the truth, the message you had the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect deliver has been taken very seriously by Lord Crimson Heaven Demon Lord. The North Town Tower and the Ice Clan are both potential threats to this war."
"With the methods of the Demonic Sect, it has already been discovered that an elite team from the North-Suppressing Tower will arrive at the Ice River Pass soon to assist the Blazing Sun Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect in completely driving you away."
"The Crimson Heaven Demon Lord personally promised that if you can annihilate this support team of the North Town Tower just like you did with the Azure Cloud Sect cultivators, then the grudge between you and him will be wiped clean."
Wang Yu then realized that this was the other party's plan.
Agree? Impossible!
Putting aside whether the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord has any credibility, he offended him terribly in the Eastern Capital. If the Refining Heaven Demon Lord hadn't suddenly descended, the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord would indeed have been in danger of perishing.
Threatening their lives and property, they let it go so easily.
Unlike Chitian's character.
Furthermore, without a second Heavenly Yin Water Pool, the Qiankun Space cannot completely separate the enemy's powerful figures, let alone replicate the battle to kill the Biyun Sect.
Even if he were to play again, he wouldn't be confident of victory.
The combined power of cultivators should not be underestimated. They may verbally dismiss their enemies as rotten oranges or stinky bird eggs, but they must take them seriously in their hearts.
Thirdly, the Zhenbei Tower team was given no information whatsoever, yet they were expected to risk their lives for a vague promise, which is clearly absurd.
For various reasons, Wang Yu had no chance of agreeing.
There must be a deeper conspiracy behind this.
"Forgive my bluntness, but I encountered this kind of empty promise in my very first year in the cultivation world. Chi Tian has absolutely no sincerity."
"If there is nothing else, please return, Fellow Daoist Xue Danzi."
Xue Danzi was stunned and exclaimed in astonishment.
"Have you lost your mind? This is a way out offered by the Demon Lord himself, and you're not even willing to try? Do you really want to become the Venerable One's enemy?"
Whether we are enemies or not is completely unimportant.
Even if Wang Yu were entrusted with this matter, he didn't see any sincerity from him, so he sneered.
"How many people are there? How many are strong? What supernatural abilities and secret techniques are they skilled in? What route are they taking? What trump cards do they have? You haven't given us any information. Is this your sincerity?"
"Could it be that they think Wang is a fool who was tricked into going to his death? That's a huge underestimation of him."
Xue Danzi was speechless.
To be honest, when he accepted the commission from the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord to come to the Northern Demon Clan for negotiations, he didn't think too much about it.
After all, according to the thinking of a "normal person," the Demon Lord has already put a way out at your feet. You can resolve this grudge by simply lifting your foot and you will no longer have to live a life of hiding.
How could I refuse?
But in Wang Yu's eyes, these were not steps at all, but a premeditated murder! The steps were just a facade; beneath them lay a true abyss.
Chi Tianyuan was not as magnanimous as he appeared, and his character was extremely greedy and wicked, as he had witnessed in Dongjijing. How could he be swayed by Xue Danzi's few words?
Just as their conversation reached a stalemate and showed signs of ending in discord, a five-colored streak of light suddenly appeared on the horizon.
They entered the hall in a flash.
"Holy Lord".
After Wang Yu paid his respects, he naturally positioned himself diagonally behind the Five-Colored Saint Lord, clearly taking advantage of his position. This left Xue Danzi feeling somewhat powerless, and he could only offer his respects in return.
"Xue Danzi greets the Five-Colored Holy Lord."
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities. Please have a seat."
The conversation entered its second phase, and after the Five-Colored Holy Lord understood the situation, he spoke.
"Why don't you two listen to my suggestion...?"
We should certainly give them face.
Wang Yu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please speak freely."
Blood pills have the same meaning.
Just listen to what they say.
"The task of ambushing and killing the Zhenbei Tower team is too difficult, and with the Biyun Sect as a precedent, from a tactical point of view, it is only possible once and should not be repeated."
"The core objective of the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord is actually to take over the Ice River Pass and, together with the Crimson Kite army in the south, completely annihilate the Azure Cloud Sect, catching the Sword Sect off guard."
Xue Danzi thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.
So he nodded.
"What does the Holy Lord mean?"
“Our Northern Demon Clan has received a great deal of help from Fellow Daoist Xuan Dan. Why don’t we let him and the strongmen of our Northern Demon Clan take charge of completely conquering Ice River Pass, so that the demonic cultivators can advance unimpeded?”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu immediately realized the true purpose of the Five-Colored Holy Lord: to use him as an excuse to openly intervene in the war!
Previously.
Their cooperation with the Biyun Sect was limited to auxiliary purposes; they provided the Fire Crow Clan's True Flame Demon Fire to resist the cold wave disaster.
This time, they definitely want to become a key player.
The two have completely different meanings. Since it is the main force's victory, they should naturally have a share, but this would break the tacit understanding between the Sword Sect and the Demon Sect.
That is, to suppress the demon race within the Broken Realm Mountains!
Seeing that Xue Danzi was deep in thought, and unsure if he had noticed anything amiss, Wang Yu proactively expressed strong resistance and offered his assistance.
"This is inappropriate. This is Wang's private matter. How can we let the powerful members of the Northern Demon Clan pay the price for this? It's not worth it, Holy Lord!"
"Let them fight at Ice River Pass. The Refining Heaven Demon Sect has a deep foundation, and it would be easy for them to send another Nascent Soul team. Why make such a compromise?"
Wang Yu interpreted the Holy Lord's proposal as a compromise.
This gave Xue Danzi the feeling that he had gained combat power for free, so he might as well use it. Moreover, after conquering Ice River Pass, the Five-Colored Holy Lord had already made it clear that the demonic path would be allowed to use it.
Ensuring that this strategic objective was not lost would perfectly fulfill the core demands of the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord, and he immediately felt compelled to agree.
This Blood Pill Child, despite his appearance, is not stupid.
Rather, they lacked a broader perspective, failing to focus on the overall global situation and not regarding it as a conflict between ethnic groups.
Being single-mindedly focused on pleasing the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord and completing the tasks entrusted to him is perfectly normal for a subordinate, so it's not wrong.
Wang Yu had come into contact with the truth about the Ice Prison Realm a long time ago.
I prefer to think about things from a macro perspective, starting with the big picture and then considering detailed countermeasures; this is a difference in mindset.
After hesitating for a long time, Xue Danzi finally agreed.
"Then, as the Holy Lord said, the Demon Sect will await good news from the Northern Demon Clan."
The Five-Colored Holy Lord also revealed a gentle, spring-like smile.
"That's natural."
After sending someone to take him away, the Five-Colored Saint Lord turned to Wang Yu and said, "You have the potential to become a chess player, while someone like Blood Pill Seed, no matter how capable, is just a pawn that can be used."
"You flatter me, Your Majesty. I am merely an ordinary cultivator. How could I be considered a chess player?"
The Holy Lord shook his head.
"Excessive modesty is not a good thing; sometimes it's more like showing off."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu chuckled awkwardly a few times.
Remaining silent.
Then the Five-Colored Holy Lord said, "The arrangements for attacking Ice River Pass do not require Fellow Daoist Xuan Dan's efforts; they can be entirely entrusted to the Northern Demon Clan."
"After this is over, Chi Tian will openly forgive your previous offense. In this way, you can return to your sect safely and your reputation will soar!"
"It could be a trap. Given Chi Tian's personality, it's quite normal for him to lie in ambush outside the gates of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. We must be careful not to expose our travel route."
A wicked villain, no matter what level of cultivation he has reached.
Going back on one's word is the norm; otherwise, Wang Yu's reputation as an honest and reliable young man wouldn't have spread so far and become so legendary.
It is precisely because such qualities are rare among the general public that Wang Yu, who possesses them, is all the more precious, making him the first choice for many people to collaborate with.
It also helped him complete his first accumulation of resources after breaking away from the three clans. Otherwise, how could the four clans of Cold Blood Peak be so at ease letting him refine pills?
Reputation is actually quite important; it can always bring many subtle benefits.
certainly.
It also has side effects, which Wang Yu hasn't experienced yet, largely because he always acts alone.
Ten days later.
A war sweeping across the Ice Plains has officially begun!
I couldn't sleep at night, and after thinking it over, I decided to get up and write a chapter.
