173: Section 173

………………

Blood-Clad Tower Headquarters.

This was a quiet place surrounded by various perilous and unique terrains.

And in this quiet place, a large architectural complex was built.

The complex had been built for hundreds of years, its age unknown.

Its Aura was magnificent, well-arranged, and exquisitely beautiful.

But the Headquarters, which should have been a place of purity,

was now littered with corpses, full of the bodies of the Headquarters’ maids.

These bodies were all beautiful in Life.

But now they could only lie here, waiting to become a handful of yellow earth.

At this moment, a group of strangely dressed Jianghu individuals searched back and forth in various rooms, trying to find someone.

Not long after.

A fierce-looking big man jumped onto the square and began to shout to the people around him.

“Don’t look anymore.”

“Fei Lingxue is very likely not here.”

Immediately after, a pale-faced scholar holding an iron brush and an iron book walked over.

“Sha Jiuyou, none of us have ever been to this Headquarters. How do you know they ran away?”

Sha Jiuyou’s face was full of disdain.

“Bai Canye, it’s a waste that you’re still a Blood Shadow Hall Master.”

“The Blood Clothes Tower has been operating for hundreds of years, so how could it not have thought of such a result?”

“There must be secret doors and hidden passages here that we don’t know about.”

“Even if she’s hiding here, how could you know?”

Bai Canye angrily said:

“Sha Jiuyou, what do you mean by that? We are all in the same boat now. Protector Cold Wuhen has already injured Fei Lingxue with the Blood Shadow Sword Finger Cultivation Technique from the Blood God Diagram.”

“If we don’t capture and kill her in one go, and let Fei Lingxue recover, none of us will survive!”

Seeing Bai Canye angry, Sha Jiuyou understood that everyone here was very anxious. It would be bad if he provoked public anger, so he immediately reined in his temper.

“You’re right.”

“Why don’t we set fire to this Blood-Clad Tower Headquarters now?”

“Even if she’s hiding in a secret passage or hidden room, the smoke will pour in, and even if she doesn’t come out, she’ll be choked to death.”

“You!”

A trace of reluctance flashed in Bai Canye’s eyes.

In his opinion, many of the buildings in the Blood-Clad Tower Headquarters were exquisitely crafted, and with who knows how many hidden Treasure Troves, it would be a shame to burn them down.

Just then, a refined and handsome middle-aged man floated down from a tall building in the distance.

He had actually used the method of Soaring through the Air.

To Soar through the Air, one must be in the Innate Holy Land realm.

Seeing the newcomer,

Sha Jiuyou and Bai Canye both cupped their hands.

“Protector Leng.”

“Hmm.”

Cold Wuhen nodded lightly.

“I haven’t been to this Blood-Clad Tower Headquarters many times either.”

“I heard your argument just now. Burning this place down is a good idea.”

“Where are the Blood Child Twins Killers!”

Cold Wuhen roared, and two children, whose movements were like ghosts, arrived in an instant, kneeling in front of Cold Wuhen in unison.

“Protector Leng, what are your orders!”

Cold Wuhen looked at the surrounding palaces, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

“Go find ten thousand Sky-Shattering Thunder bombs and bury them in various parts of this Headquarters!”

“Then detonate them all at once.”

“This matter must be done beautifully!”

The Blood Child Twins Killers exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in the other’s eyes.

This place used to be

their Holy Land in their hearts.

Now that they had finally occupied it, to destroy it so easily seemed like a terrible waste.

What was the difference between this and Xiang Yu burning down Efang Palace?

But now Cold Wuhen had become the de facto Tower Master, and his orders had to be obeyed.

“Yes, Left Protector!”

……

Underneath the Blood Clothes Tower, in a hidden dungeon.

Fei Lingxue’s face was pale.

Her white dress was stained with blood.

On her left shoulder, a tearing wound, seemingly caused by True Qi, was faintly visible.

But even with such a severe injury, Fei Lingxue’s eyes remained bright.

She didn’t utter a sound,

allowing Su Jin and the other two beside her to clean and apply medicine.

Looking at the wound on Fei Lingxue’s left shoulder, Su Jin was a little worried.

“Young Miss.”

“Where did that Cold Wuhen learn the Blood Shadow True Qi Cultivation Technique from his finger?”

“How can it be so powerful?”

“Even Young Miss, you couldn’t resist it.”

Fei Lingxue bit her thin lip for a long time, then spoke.

“That should be a Cultivation Technique from the Blood God Diagram.”

“It specifically counters Ten Revolutions Dust Heart.”

“I’m afraid I can only defeat Cold Wuhen if I Cultivate to the tenth revolution.”

“I always thought the Blood God Diagram had been destroyed by my father, but I didn’t expect that Cold Wuhen still had a copy.”

Su Jin was a little curious upon hearing this.

“Young Miss, then why don’t you Cultivate it?”

At this time, Lan Xin and Ning Yue were also very curious.

They wondered why their Young Miss didn’t go to Cultivate that Cultivation Technique.

Fei Lingxue shook her head upon hearing this.

“The Cultivation Technique on the Blood God Diagram is too evil.”

“It requires drinking the fresh blood of a different close relative each month to continue Cultivating.”

“Ah!”

Su Jin and the other two’s mouths were slightly agape, all frightened by such an evil Cultivation method.

Su Jin immediately began to express her indignation.

“No wonder I often hear people outside say that Cold Wuhen bought many concubines and had them all bear children.”

“Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, yet he can do such a thing.”

“More importantly, this Cold Wuhen obtained the Pill Formula for the Blood Soul Pill at some unknown time.”

A trace of fatigue also flashed in Fei Lingxue’s eyes.

Indeed.

Managing a large Blood Clothes Tower was not so easy.

But Father,

why did you let me take over, and why did you want the Blood Clothes Tower to emerge into the world?

Fei Lingxue couldn’t understand.

But she didn’t want to understand now either.

“Ah!”

Fei Lingxue groaned in pain. The wound, which had just been cleaned, had already been sprinkled with Blood God Powder, the Blood Clothes Tower’s sacred healing medicine.

The wound, which had been continuously bleeding, instantly solidified upon contact with the medicine.

There were even faint signs of scabbing.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a dull roar came from above.

The stones in the cave also began to fall rustlingly, and then the place where they were violently trembled.

“This!”

Su Jin recognized the source of the sound.

“This is the sound of Sky-Shattering Thunder!”

“They’re going to blow up the Headquarters!”

Fei Lingxue struggled to get up, her delicate finger pointing to an iron cage nearby.

It was the iron cage where Su Mo had been imprisoned earlier.

“Let’s go to the iron cage.”

“The iron cage is cast from Profound Ice Iron.”

“Even if this place collapses, the iron cage won’t be damaged in the slightest.”

Su Jin’s eyes were panicked.

“Young Miss.”

“If we are buried inside then, I’m afraid we’ll never be able to get out.”

Fei Lingxue sighed softly.

“If that’s truly the case, then it’s fate.”

Seeing this, Su Jin quickly prayed.

“Young Master Su, Young Master Su, you must come then.”

“Otherwise, you and Young Miss will be separated forever!”

As she spoke, the four women got up and entered the iron cage.

The gaps in this iron cage were fine, so even if there were falling rocks, they couldn’t smash inside.
