Chapter 138: The Extremely Evil Old Man

  The Martial Saint mentioned that when a martial artist enters the Pre-Heavenly Initial Spirit Realm, the most suitable elixirs are the Golden Elixir of the Flesh and the Pre-Heavenly Initial Spirit Elixir.

  Although these elixirs' recipes are equally hard to find and their ingredients equally difficult to collect, they can't be more challenging than the Dragon-Tiger Body Refining Elixir!

  The geographical location of Baiyue is remote, the spiritual power is weak, and the spiritual objects are insufficient. None of this matters. The future destination cannot be just wandering in this small land of Baiyue.

  Qin Wushuang has a higher ambition and a farther goal. The Baiyue Kingdom is just a starting point.

  ...extremely dark mountain, extremely dark old man gently breathed out and in, his palm facing downwards, slowly retracting. Today's cultivation practice has almost come to an end.

  He has been practicing the "Yin Gui Sha Xin Zhang" for some years. This evil skill is powerful and domineering, but it consumes a lot of blood energy during practice. To prevent his body's blood energy from drying up, he needs to constantly replenish it with the blood of a virgin born in the year, month, day, hour and minute of the "Mao" zodiac sign.

  Over the years, his disciples and their families have brought countless innocent girls from various vassal states of the Grand Luo Empire, all of whom were used by the extremely evil old man and drained of their yin energy until death.

  The number is no less than five hundred. The faintly visible Redwood Palace of the Baoyue Kingdom has already provided for over two hundred people, and it can be seen that the extremely evil old man is extremely poor and sinister.

  Today's lesson is over, and the extremely evil old man swept through the cave. The seven jade plaques were right in front of him. Suddenly, the extremely evil old man furrowed his brow, rubbed his eyes, and stared incredulously at the plaque in front of him, his face turning cold instantly, his facial muscles twitching, and his expression becoming ferocious beyond compare?

  "How could this be?" The extremely gloomy old man looked at the shattered jade token in disbelief!

  These seven jade plaques belong to each of the seven pre-heavenly disciples under his door. The pre-heavenly aura of each disciple was extracted and infused into these jade plaques.

  To see jade is like seeing a younger brother.

  Unless the owner of the jade pendant dies, it will never change.

  At this moment, the first jade token suddenly shattered completely!

  The first jade plaque corresponds to his eldest disciple, Li Wuji, who is also the one he values most and takes pride in, and is usually assigned to solve whatever difficult tasks arise.

  Now, the jade pendant corresponding to Li Wuji suddenly shattered.

  In other words, Lü Bu had already left this world!

  The extremely gloomy old man's chest suddenly hurt, and a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes. He stroked the broken jade plate with an unprecedented gentleness, and the muscles on his face twitched even more fiercely.

  The eldest disciple, Li Wuji, received his extremely dark order and went to the Baiyue State on a mission. According to reason, in a place like the Baiyue State, any pre-heavenly disciple who goes there can act recklessly without fear. Even the Guardian Martial Saint of the Baiyue State would not be able to block him in the face of an extremely dark order!

  He sent his eldest disciple, Li Wuji, who was the strongest in terms of ability, the most ruthless in means, and also the most efficient in handling matters. Originally, he had intended to fight a quick battle and return quickly.

  But little did I think that Li Wuji's departure would be a permanent farewell!

  The tiny Baiyue Kingdom, could someone actually kill Lü Wuji? The extremely sinister old man didn't believe it. Even if it was that National Guardian Martial Saint, he was at most a beginner in the spiritual realm, and at best on par with Lü Wuji.

  If conditions are favorable and morale is high, Lei Wuji's "Wind and Thunder Blade" has a complete chance of beheading the opponent. Even if it can't be done, at least it will absolutely not lose!

  But why did Lü Bu never return?

  Who killed Lie Wuji? The extremely cold old man, although furious, did not lose his composure. He was always cautious and had established the Extremely Cold Sect with one hand, so it was naturally not just relying on strength to stand tall in the vast and powerful Da Luo Empire.

  Someone who can kill Lü Bu must be incredibly powerful.

  If it's a loose cultivator of the Pre-Heavenly Martial Arts, then it's still somewhat manageable. But if they were to encounter a powerful disciple from a sect, or even a Sect Master-level expert seeking revenge, things would get quite troublesome.

  At present, revenge is important, but the first thing to do is to investigate how Lü Wuji died! The old man's eyes were filled with anger.

  "Xie Yu Tian, if it weren't for you being a useless thing, how would I have lost my most beloved disciple? With your material, if it weren't for the fact that your father is a king and has vast resources, I wouldn't even bother to pay attention to you! Since Li Wu Ji died because of what happened at the Chi Mu Wang Fu, no matter what, the Chi Mu Wang Fu is one of the indirect accomplices in his death!"

  At this thought, a strong killing intent flashed across the extremely gloomy old man's face! He stood up straight, walked out of the cave with a flutter, and after a slight sense, he found out where He Yutian was.

  He Yutian was currently in the secret library of the Extreme Yin Sect, searching through materials everywhere, wanting to find a Dan formula for refining the Golden Elixir.

  Suddenly, the door of the secret room burst open, and a gust of cold wind howled in, sending a pile of book pages flying wildly. He Yutian only felt a chill run down his spine, turned his head to look back, and cried out in surprise: "Master!"

  The extremely gloomy old man had no expression on his face and asked faintly: "What are you doing here?"

  He Yutian saw his master being so indifferent, and his scalp felt a bit numb. He responded: "After the disciple's cultivation, he wants to find some classics to read and enrich himself."

  "Hmm, fine, but it's futile to try and fill it up again." The old man spoke in a gloomy tone.

  "Master, you?" He Yutian still thought Master was joking and couldn't help but pause in surprise.

  "Come out!" The extremely gloomy old man flicked his sleeve and walked outside.

  He Yitian stepped out onto the lawn, his heart racing with fear and anxiety, as if there were fifteen buckets inside him, churning up and down.

  How could he not hear the difference between his master's tone and his usual one?

  But he couldn't figure out why his master was unhappy for a while.

  "Master." She called out softly and cautiously.

  The extremely gloomy old man didn't turn his head back, and with an air of indifference, he asked: "In the country of Baiyue, apart from the First Heaven of Wusong Mountain, who else is a strong expert?"

  "Returning to the master, a pre-heavenly expert has appeared. In the past hundred years, there's only been one such person. Let alone a pre-heavenly cultivator, even those with pre-heavenly potential haven't emerged yet. As for the small country of Baoyue, Master, you're not unaware of its insignificance. One pre-heavenly expert is already overwhelming."

  "What about the countries surrounding Ba Yue? Is there anyone more powerful than the innate of Ba Yue?"

  He Yutian thought for a moment and replied, "The surrounding countries of Baiyue are also mostly middle-grade vassal states. Each country has a protector warrior saint, but their cultivation is roughly the same. They are all initial spirit warriors, and none of them have the strength of a mid-spirit warrior! With their potential and lifespan, it's impossible for them to break through into the mid-spirit realm!"

  The old man nodded: "That's strange."

  "What's strange? Master, what's strange?" He Yutian had a faintly ominous premonition in his heart.

  "You don't need to know. He Yutian, how many people are there in the Chi Mu Wang Fu?" The extremely gloomy old man suddenly changed his tone and asked strangely.

  "Returning to the master, I am the descendant of the Chi Mu Wang tribe, with a direct lineage that has been passed down for generations. If we count the main branches, there are at least 500 or 600 people." He Yu Tian thought this question was strange, but didn't dare not answer truthfully.

  "Five or six hundred men?" The extremely gloomy old man shook his head, "Not enough, not enough! Then how many of the trusted slaves in the Redwood King's estate are close to you?"

  "The palace guards have three thousand iron armor troops. As for the inner guards, there are not many in number, but each one is a master, with about two hundred people!"

  "Too few, too few! Three thousand iron armor army, not a big deal with your Redwood King's mansion. Counting you as the Redwood King's mansion's He family descendants, five or six hundred people, two hundred trusted guards, it's only seven or eight hundred people at most." As he spoke, the extremely cold old man's tone became even more chilling.

  "Master... Master, what are you counting these numbers for?" He Yutian's heart was racing.

  "Want to take their heads off, of course need to count clearly isn't it?"

  "What?" He Yutian was shocked and pale, stuttering, "Master, are you joking with your disciple?"

  "What are you laughing at?" The extremely gloomy old man's face turned cold, and he suddenly turned around, staring at He Yu Tian with a stern expression. "You think you can laugh? You, a useless thing, have the qualifications to make me laugh with you? The Redwood Royal Family must offer up a thousand lives as sacrifice, otherwise it will be hard to dispel the hatred in my heart, and how can we then pay our respects to Lei Wu Ji's spirit in heaven?"

  "Big... Big Brother Master is dead?" He Yutian's heart was filled with bitterness as he finally understood the origin of this case!

  The eldest martial brother is dead, no wonder Master had so many strange questions earlier.

  What a calamity! This is absolutely a calamity. Because Eldest Brother died, Master is venting his anger and wants to kill the people of the Redwood King's Manor to alleviate his hatred!

  He Yutian knew that the extremely evil old man was unpredictable in his emotions, but he valued the seven innate disciples more than anything else. He was extremely protective of them. Now that Lei Wujie had died, it was only normal for him to vent his anger on the Chi Mu Wang Fu!

  The situation was unfavorable, He Yutian knew that in the next moment, perhaps it would be the extremely evil old man's turn to take his life.

  Suddenly he had an idea and burst out laughing wildly.

  "What's so funny?" The extremely gloomy old man furrowed his brow.

  "I laugh at the pitiful and ridiculous Redwood Royal Family. For so many years, I have been loyal to you, working tirelessly without complaint, with no merit but only hard work. Now, however, I am being implicated for no reason! Lü Wuji is dead, which means he must have encountered an even more formidable opponent. What does this have to do with the Redwood Royal Family? Even if it was because of something related to our family, wasn't the root cause also related to you? Destroying the Redwood Royal Family and slapping yourself in the face are not much different!"

  He Yutian knew that today's affairs were irretrievable, and the heart's blood of many years was all in vain. He couldn't help but feel sorrow and regret, thinking of how he had always been treated coldly by the old man, and how he had exhausted himself trying to curry favor with him, only to end up with such a result. How could he not be indignant?

  The extremely gloomy old man sneered coldly: "No matter how glib your tongue is, you can't escape this calamity today. The Redwood King's Mansion handled things poorly and triggered this disaster. If the Redwood King's Mansion isn't destroyed, how can my mind be at ease? How can I continue to cultivate the Supreme Evil Technique? Destroying the Redwood King's Mansion starts with you..."

  He Yutian retreated several steps and suddenly said, "Ji Yin, you can kill me if you want. But the state of Baiyue has a shocking secret that you will never know again!"

  He Yutian's words were spoken in haste and were also fabricated on the spot. However, when heard by the extremely gullible old man, they seemed to make perfect sense.

  No wonder, as Li Youyuan had just died in the state of Baiyue, to say that there were some secrets in the state of Baiyue was undoubtedly hitting his soft spot.

  "What secret?" The old man's eyebrows furrowed.
