Chapter 376 Blood Maiden Summons Mysterious Master? A High-Level Meteorite Expert!

In the sky.

As Jiang Yun's voice fell, the smile on He Yuanming's face stiffened slightly.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found his throat so dry that not a single word would come out.

Iron Mountain Liu and Li Fengxing were also taken aback.

The two exchanged a glance, a flicker of something strange passing through their eyes.

It seemed...

The relationship between this Commander He and Great Master Jiang was not as close as they had imagined.

In fact...

Great Master Jiang seemed to be deliberately guarding against He Yuanming?

Iron Mountain Liu's mind raced with thoughts, but his face remained impassive.

He simply clasped his fists respectfully.

“Yes, Lord City Lord.”

He paused for a moment to organize his thoughts.

“To answer Lord City Lord, this Blood Fiend Pavilion, like my Black Wind Stronghold, is an established power in Black Rock City. It has existed for over a hundred years.”

“Although Blood Lady is the Pavilion Revered Master and is ostensibly at the Peak of Meteorite Level 3, it is said that...”

He glanced at He Yuanming and continued.

“It is said that behind her stands a Mid-level Meteorite expert. It is highly likely to be her Revered Master.”

“However, this is just a rumor. No one has ever seen that expert take action, nor has anyone confirmed her existence.”

“If we don't count that rumored expert, the Blood Fiend Pavilion's foundation is slightly inferior to my Black Wind Stronghold.”

After Iron Mountain Liu finished speaking, he lowered his head respectfully.

Jiang Yun nodded slightly after listening.

“Mid-level Meteorite?”

“I see.”

He turned his head to look at He Yuanming.

In those calm eyes, there was now a hint of coldness.

“Commander He, you didn't seem to mention this information?”

He Yuanming's expression changed slightly.

He quickly lowered his head, his voice sounding a bit weak.

“Ci... City Lord, please understand! This subordinate did not intend to hide it, it's just that the rumor is too ethereal. I felt there was no need to mention it and interfere with Lord City Lord's judgment...”

Jiang Yun did not speak.

He just watched him quietly.

That gaze was like two sharp blades, piercing straight into He Yuanming's heart.

Cold sweat began to break out on He Yuanming's forehead.

He knew that his little scheme was likely being completely seen through by Jiang Yun.

He had indeed hidden this information.

He wanted Jiang Yun to take action personally to deal with the potential expert behind the Blood Fiend Pavilion.

Ideally, they would both suffer losses, allowing him to reap the benefits as a bystander.

But now...

He lowered his head, not daring to make any further moves.

Internally, however, he was secretly lamenting.

This Great Master Jiang is clearly just a youth of sixteen or seventeen, so how can his mind be so deep?

Iron Mountain Liu and Li Fengxing stood to the side, secretly on guard as they watched He Yuanming's guilty appearance.

This new Revered Master was not easy to fool.

They would have to be careful in the future.

Jiang Yun withdrew his gaze.

He didn't lash out on the spot.

He only sneered inwardly.

“Mid-level Meteorite?”

“Perfect.”

“Since you want me to deal with it, then I'll have you lead the charge.”

He looked at He Yuanming and said flatly.

“Since it's just a rumor, there's no need to worry about it.”

“Commander He.”

He Yuanming's whole body jolted as he quickly responded.

“Sub... Subordinate is here.”

Jiang Yun said.

“Once we reach the Blood Fiend Pavilion, you will lead the charge. Go and talk to that Blood Lady first. If she is willing to submit, that's for the best. If she isn't...”

He paused.

“Then beat her into submission.”

He Yuanming's face stiffened.

“Lead the charge?”

“Make him face Blood Lady alone?”

He quickly said.

“Lord City Lord, Blood Lady is at the Peak of Meteorite Level 3. Her strength is likely a notch above mine. I alone...”

Jiang Yun waved his hand, interrupting him.

“Don't worry, Vice Commander Liu and Leader Li will support you from the side.”

He looked at Iron Mountain Liu and Li Fengxing.

“The two of you will assist Commander He. If Blood Lady resists, the three of you working together should be able to take her down easily, right?”

Iron Mountain Liu and Li Fengxing exchanged a look.

“Join forces to deal with Blood Lady?”

Three against one—they were indeed confident.

But...

They looked at Jiang Yun.

This new Revered Master didn't intend to take action himself?

Jiang Yun seemed to see through their doubts and said calmly.

“I will remain hidden. If there is truly an accident or if an expert intervenes, I will naturally act to ensure the safety of you three.”

Upon hearing this, the hearts of the three sank.

“Ensure their safety?”

That was easy to say.

But if an accident really happened, would this Great Master Jiang truly step in to save them?

They couldn't be sure.

Especially He Yuanming.

He knew he had already aroused Jiang Yun's suspicion.

If they really encountered danger later, would Jiang Yun take the opportunity to let him...

He didn't dare think further.

But now, he had no way out.

Jiang Yun saw the hesitant looks on the three men's faces and raised an eyebrow slightly.

“What?”

His voice was still calm.

Yet it carried an unquestionable authority.

“Do you have an objection?”

“Are you unwilling to carry out this City Lord's orders?”

The three men's expressions changed, and they quickly clasped their fists.

“Subordinate wouldn't dare!”

“Subordinate is willing!”

“Subordinate obeys Lord City Lord's instructions!”

Jiang Yun nodded.

“Then let's go.”

He waved his hand.

The group set off once again.

Soon, Black Rock City was in sight.

The Blood Fiend Pavilion was located on the west side of Black Rock City.

It occupied quite a large area.

Midway, Jiang Yun quietly left the group.

He landed on a mountain Peak, overlooking the Blood Fiend Pavilion below.

This position offered an excellent view.

The entire Blood Fiend Pavilion was in full view.

Below.

The outline of the Blood Fiend Pavilion gradually became clear.

It was a massive manor, covering dozens of acres.

The manor was surrounded by high walls built entirely of black stone, giving off a gloomy and oppressive feeling.

Watchtowers were placed at intervals along the walls, with black-clad guards patrolling back and forth.

Inside the manor, pavilions and towers were arranged in an orderly fashion.

However, all the buildings were in a dark red hue, as if they had been soaked in blood.

In the very center stood a five-story pavilion.

At the top of the pavilion hung a massive blood-red flag.

Embroidered on the flag was a hideous spider pattern.

That was the emblem of the Blood Fiend Pavilion.

The Blood Fiend Demon Spider.

The entire manor was permeated with an aura of killing.

Standing on the mountain, Jiang Yun's gaze swept across the entire Blood Fiend Pavilion.

Then, he turned his head.

Beside him, a slender figure had appeared at some unknown time.

Her skirt swayed gently in the wind.

Pale gold eyes also looked down at the Blood Fiend Pavilion below.

It was Fox Immortal.

Jiang Yun looked at her and asked softly.

“Fox Immortal, if a mid-level or even High-level Meteorite expert intervenes later, are you confident you can kill them?”

Upon hearing this, Fox Immortal's expression remained cold.

“If it's mid-level, I am confident I can kill them.”

She paused.

“As for high-level...”

Jiang Yun's heart tightened.

Fox Immortal continued.

“In a head-on clash, I am afraid I wouldn't be their match. However, if it's just escaping from their hands, that would naturally be no problem.”

“But if it's a sneak attack...”

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

“I can also kill them easily.”

Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that.

“Sneak attack?”

“Perfect.”

He looked at the Blood Fiend Pavilion below.

“If this Blood Fiend Pavilion truly has a mid or High-level Meteorite expert guarding it, they will likely be unwilling to submit. A battle will be inevitable then.”

“Although Blood Lady is at the Peak of Meteorite Level 3, she will certainly be no match for the three of them—He Yuanming and the others—working together.”

“The expert in the shadows will definitely intervene.”

He turned to look at Fox Immortal.

“At that time, we will launch a sneak attack.”

“A one-hit kill.”

Fox Immortal listened, her lip curling slightly.

“You humans are indeed extremely insidious and cunning.”

Jiang Yun's mouth twitched at her words.

“This is called outsmarting them, not being cunning.”

Fox Immortal gave him a disdainful look.

“Quibbling.”

Jiang Yun: “...”

Forget it, he wouldn't argue with her.

He withdrew his gaze and continued to watch the Blood Fiend Pavilion below.

And at this time.

He Yuanming's group had already flown over the Blood Fiend Pavilion.

They hovered in the air, looking down.

That grand lineup immediately caught the attention of the guards below.

“Someone's here!”

“It's He Yuanming from the Blood Thorn Mercenary Group!”

“And Iron Mountain Liu from the Red Fire Mercenary Group! Li Fengxing from the Black Wind Stronghold!”

“Why did they come together?!”

“Quick! Go report to the Pavilion Revered Master!”

Exclamations rose one after another.

Soon.

A blood-red figure flew out from the central pavilion.

That figure was enchanting and seductive.

A blood-red dress tightly wrapped around her exquisite body, outlining breathtaking curves.

Her chest, a patch of snowy white, rose and fell slightly with her breathing.

Her slender waist could be held in one hand, and her hip line was rounded and full.

Her long legs were faintly visible beneath the skirt.

Her exquisite face had skin like cream, and her eyes were like silk.

A pair of peach blossom eyes carried a natural charm, as if they could hook one's soul.

It was none other than Blood Lady.

Peak of Meteorite Level 3.

Behind her, two more figures followed.

One was a white-haired old man with a sinister face and sharp eyes.

The other was a middle-aged beautiful woman, still possessing great charm but with equally sharp eyes.

Both were at the Diamond Ninth Tier Peak.

Elders of the Blood Fiend Pavilion.

Blood Lady flew into the sky and stopped in front of He Yuanming and the others.

She tilted her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over He Yuanming, Iron Mountain Liu, and Li Fengxing.

Finally, it settled on He Yuanming's face.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

That smile was seductive and alluring.

“Oh, isn't this Commander He?”

Her voice was lazy and charming, with a hint of teasing.

“What wind blew you here today?”

“And with so many people...”

Her gaze swept over the Diamond Rank experts behind the three, a flash of something strange in her eyes.

“Is this lineup here to have tea at my Blood Fiend Pavilion?”

He Yuanming looked at her and took a deep breath.

A faint smile was forced onto his face.

“Pavilion Revered Master Blood must be joking.”

He paused and said seriously.

“I have come today for a major matter I wish to discuss with Pavilion Revered Master Blood.”

Blood Lady raised her eyebrows.

“Oh? What major matter?”

He Yuanming said.

“Pavilion Revered Master Blood should already know that Commander Lie Yunkong of the Red Fire Mercenary Group and Chieftain Black Wind Old Demon of the Black Wind Stronghold have died in the Secret Realm.”

A strange light flashed in Blood Lady's eyes.

Of course she knew.

She had personally watched those two be killed instantly.

Even now, that scene lingered in her mind.

But she remained impassive on the surface.

She only said flatly.

“So what if I know?”

He Yuanming continued.

“Now, the situation where the four major powers balanced each other no longer exists.”

“For the future stable development of the major powers, and so that everyone can live well in this Black Rock City...”

He paused and said word by word.

“I suggest we twist the four major powers into a single force.”

“Unified management, unified allocation.”

“This way, it will be beneficial for everyone.”

He looked at Blood Lady.

“I wonder if Pavilion Revered Master Blood is willing to join?”

Upon hearing this, Blood Lady was first taken aback.

Then.

She laughed.

That laugh was charming and moving.

Yet it carried a hint of mockery.

“A single force?”

She looked at He Yuanming, a playful glint in her eyes.

“Commander He certainly has a way with words. To speak of annexation in such high-sounding terms.”

She shook her head gently.

“However...”

Her gaze suddenly became sharp.

“You want to annex my Blood Fiend Pavilion?”

“I just don't know if Commander He has such a large appetite?”

“Can you swallow it?”

He Yuanming's face darkened.

He knew that since the soft approach didn't work, he could only use force.

He said coldly.

“It seems Pavilion Revered Master Blood does not intend to cooperate?”

As the words fell.

The Blood Feather Demon Eagle beneath his feet suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura!

Meteorite Level 3!

That aura, like a violent storm, swept toward Blood Lady!

Blood Lady, however, did not move a muscle.

She only gave a faint smile.

“He Yuanming, you are but Meteorite Level 3. This Pavilion Revered Master is at the Peak of Meteorite Level 3. Even an expert like Lie Yunkong at Meteorite Level 4 was not someone I feared, so why would I fear you?”

As her voice fell.

Behind her, a blood-red light shot into the sky!

It was a massive blood-colored spider, its eight long legs like sharp blades, its whole body emitting a bloody aura.

The Blood Fiend Demon Spider.

Peak of Meteorite Level 3!

Its aura steadily surpassed He Yuanming's by a notch!

He Yuanming's face changed.

He immediately shouted.

“Are you two still not going to help?!”

“Do you want to be blamed by that Lord later?!”

Iron Mountain Liu and Li Fengxing exchanged a glance.

The hearts of both men shuddered.

That Lord...

They remembered Jiang Yun's calm gaze and the scene where Li Potian was killed instantly.

They didn't dare hesitate.

The two released their auras simultaneously!

Boom! Boom!

One crimson, one pitch-black, both shot into the sky at the same time!

Crimson Flame Demonic Tiger, First Stage of Meteor Rank!

Netherworld Ghost Vulture, Meteorite Level 3!

Three Falling Star Rank auras pressed down on Blood Lady at the same time!

Blood Lady's expression finally changed.

Her brow furrowed tightly, her expression grave.

Three against one.

No matter how strong she was, she was no match.

After all, she was facing three Falling Star Rank experts.

She did not possess combat power as terrifying as that youth's soul beasts.

However, she did not panic.

She only looked at He Yuanming coldly.

“That Lord?”

A sharp light flashed in her eyes.

“He Yuanming, could the Lord you speak of be that youth from the Secret Realm?”

He Yuanming did not answer.

He only said flatly.

“Blood Lady, you should understand that we have no choice...”
