Along the way, Ye Xiao and others met many other teams but no one wanted trouble so no one attacked.
Ye Xiao was worried that he might miss what he came here for and the treasure connected to his fate might get stolen before could do anything.
Fortunately, nothing like that happened and there was still time.
At this moment, a faint sound slowly drifted over from not far away.
Ye Xiao and Xiao Lin frowned slightly. This sound did not seem to be coming far away from them, but they were actually unable to lock onto the location of this sound.
What was going on?
At the same time Ye Xiao and Xiao Lin were shocked, Bo Yuan walked over. The injuries on his body had already healed. After what happened just now, he had always acted as if he didn’t care at all. But it was precisely because of this that it proved that he was definitely brewing some sort of conspiracy.
Bo Yuan rushed towards Xiao Lin and smiled, “Miss Xiao, Young Master Ye. After so many days of effort, we finally managed to locate Blood Plane Island. Blood Plane Island is right in front of us. The sound you just heard came from the Blood Plane Island.”
“The Blood Plane Island is right in front of us?” Xiao Lin’s eyes lit up.
“That’s right. We are less than an hour away from the Blood Plane Island.” Bo Yuan reminded her kindly, “But Miss Xiao, the Blood Plane Island is really filled with danger. If we want to find the Azure Divine Pearl, we will have to depend on luck. Are you sure you want to go in with us?”
While Bo Yuan said this, he glanced at Ye Xiao and said faintly, “I can’t guarantee your safety in the Blood Plane Island. If you are afraid, you can wait for us outside the valley.”
“Hehe, my purpose is to witness this Azure Divine Pearl with my own eyes. I’m sure I won’t be afraid of this trivial danger. Besides, with your protection, what kind of danger can threaten me?” Xiao Lin smiled sweetly at Bo Yuan.
Ye Xiao could not help but curse in his heart. The more time he spent with Xiao Lin, the more he got to know what kind of person she really is. She is someone who keeps a knife hidden in her sleeve while smiling at a person. As long as she want, she could cut the throat of that person instantly.
“Haha, this Blood Plane Island is very dangerous for others, but I have already come here one time before. In a while, as long as you listen to me obediently, I promise that you won’t encounter any danger.” Bo Yuan laughed complacently.
“Then I will have to rely on Brother Bo more.” Xiao Lin smiled. As for what she really was thinking in her heart, only she knew.
Bo Yuan squinted at Ye Xiao and said, “Young Master Ye, I understand that you have something against my team because of the previous incident, and you might still suspect that my team members tried to harm you previously. In that case, you can stay here and go independently wherever you want to go.”
“No need.” Ye Xiao said calmly while shaking his head.
“Alright then. Young Master Ye, you have to be careful.” Bo Yuan squinted his eyes and said those words before taking his leave.
“Ye Xiao, we will be arriving at Blood Plane Island soon. Do you have any plans?” After Bo Yuan left, Xiao Lin asked with a smile. Ye Xiao could see a totally different kind of shine in her eyes. It was as if she was waiting for a drama to begin.
Before Ye Xiao could say anything, he suddenly felt a sense of loss. It was as if he had just lost something very important, as if that thing was part of himself but he somehow lost it completely.
This…?
Ye Xiao was puzzled but just for a moment before he suddenly realized something. He understood that the person who was trying to steal from his fate had succeeded in his try. He had already stolen the thing connected to Ye Xiao by fate.
Ye Xiao clenched his fist. He still failed to stop the happening. He could not help but curse in his heart. He also wanted to know who that person is, unfortunately, he has no idea about anything. Neither does he know that person nor does he know the reason why he was stealing the treasure connected to his fate and destiny.
What is so special about that treasure?
“Umm… Ye Xiao.” Xiao Lin, seeing Ye Xiao suddenly losing his composure, frowned and asked.
“We will act according to the situation.” Ye Xiao shook his head and said. Since the happening has already happened, only time will be wasted if he tried to think about this matter.
Since he is already here, why not look for that person?
As for how he will recognize that person, Ye Xiao asked the Lotus of Chaos to tell him when he’ll come across that person.
To this request of Ye Xiao, the Lotus of Chaos agreed.
Thus, he fully focused his attention back on the topic of Azure Divine Pearl.
This time, there were definitely many people who came for the Azure Divine Pearl. He did not have a specific plan right now.
…..
Some time ago…
Inside a certain Blood Plane Mountain, two people could be seen battling against many blood skeletons fiercely.
Yes, blood skeletons, not bone skeletons.
The creatures Ning Xuan and Xue Ji were battling against were skeletons that seemed to be born from blood. They were even smelling like blood completely.
No matter how many times Xue Ji and Ning Xuan killed these Blood Skeletons, they would simply resurface after a few seconds of silence, as if they were never destroyed.
Maybe, this was because they were born from blood.
Ning Xuan also understood if he wants to kill these Blood Skeletons, he had to think about exhausting all Blood Energy from them first.
As someone who aimed to kill Ling Xiaolong, he had many secrets himself. And now, it was the time to use one of those secrets.
“These Blood Skeletons are more like puppets, they don’t have souls. They are acting like this because their owner must have given orders to kill all the intruders. Most of my skills won’t work against them, but I still have a skill that could kill these damn things.”
“Fate… It really is something else. This skill is something I learned from Ling Xiaolong, and now, I’m gonna use it to steal something that was once Ling Xiaolong’s, and would have become Ling Xiaolong’s in the future if not for me.”
Taking a deep breath, Ning Xuan raised his hand. Red light flashed and scales that resembled that of a monster started bulging out on his hand, soon transforming into a monster’s claw with red scales.
Xue Ji was also shocked greatly when she witnessed Ning Xuan’s hand transforming into a monster’s hand.
Ning Xuan’s scaled hand was constantly flashing with red light. At this time, Ning Xuan cut his other hand, causing a few drops of blood to drip on the scaled hand.
The next moment, a blood-red light shone in the surroundings, and streams of blood started spiraling around Ning Xuan’s scaled hand.
Finally, Ning Xuan extended his hand with great momentum, a demonic light flashing around his body as he spoke, “Blood Devour!”
Shrrill~
Xue Ji then witnessed a scene she could never forget in the future. She saw all the Blood Skeletons suddenly stopping in their tracks. They seemed to have been locked down by a mysterious power, not being able to buzz from their place. 𝓫𝓭𝓸𝓋．𝓬𝓸𝓂
And then, they transformed into a pool of blood before flowing toward Ning Xuan, absorbed into his scaled hand.
A strange scene appeared in this space at this moment. A man could be seen standing while extending his hand, and blood could be seen coming from every direction in streams, being absorbed into his scaled hand.
He did not even fully absorb the blood and cracks started appearing on his scaled hand.
“Ugh!”
Ning Xuan moaned in pain but he gritted his teeth and chose to endure. At the same time, he muttered, “I should have completely learned this skill from Ling Xiaolong while I still had time. I only managed to learn 10% of that skill. It is because this skill is incomplete by 90% that caused my arms to turn into that of a monster’s arms while displaying this skill. If I still remember correctly, then Ling Xiaolong devoured the entire Blood Sea back then and rose in power greatly. His strength skyrocket and he became a Heavenly Saint in one go. If I remember correctly, then Ye Xiao was a Great Saint at that time.”
Shaking his head, Ning Xuan kept gritting his teeth and finally absorbed all the blood transformed from Blood Skeletons, turning the blood into blood energy that started strengthening his bloodline and body, at the same time, his cultivation as well.
