846: Xin Yingying

"Blood Moon Fairy?! She... she's actually here?!" Inside Private Booth Heaven One, a figure as withered as a thousand-year-old tree bark suddenly straightened his back from his comfortable jade seat! It was the core Elder of the Nine Nether Sect, Ghost-Faced Old Man, who had reached Void Refining Perfection but whose Lifespan was exhausted and whose path to the Dao was hopeless!

The wrinkles on his face were so deep they could crush a mosquito, and his exposed skin showed a sickly gray decay, as if it could rot at any moment. Only those eyes, sunken deep into their sockets and flickering like eerie green ghost fires, revealed a heart-palpitating malice and greed! At this moment, those ghost-fire eyes were twitching violently, showing the immense shock in his heart!

"The Nine Nether Soul-Seizing Nails... those were Dao injuries personally left by the Sect Leader! How could this demoness recover her mobility so quickly? She even dares to show herself?!" Ghost-Faced Old Man's voice was dry and raspy, like sandpaper rubbing against dry bone. Standing beside him were several Void Refining Perfection Cultivators with equally cold auras, shrouded in black robes; they were all his trusted Death Warriors.

His risky infiltration into the River of Oblivion City this time was a desperate gamble! His goal was the nine nether earth core milk that nourishes the Primordial Spirit, and perhaps even the rumored "Nine Nether Heavenly Fiend Art"! He hoped to use them to charge into the slim chance of the Body Integration Stage before his lamp ran out of oil! However, the described effects of the mysterious "great void spirit nurturing pill" in Private Booth Xuan Seven made his long-cold heart twitch violently!

Repairing Primordial Spirit trauma! Raising the upper limit of Primordial Spirit strength!

This... this was simply a Divine Pill tailor-made for an old monster like him, whose Primordial Spirit was withering day by day due to the exhaustion of his Lifespan! Its effect was a hundred times stronger than the nine nether earth core milk! If he could obtain this pill, his confidence in breaking through to Body Integration would increase by at least thirty percent!

"Xuan Seven..." The green ghost fires in Ghost-Faced Old Man's eyes flickered wildly, greed almost overflowing. "No matter who you are... this pill... this old man must have it!" He immediately sent a voice transmission to a Death Warrior beside him, his voice like the hiss of a venomous snake: "Go! Contact the 'Black Demon Guard' outside the city! Have them watch every exit of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower! Especially the Void Refining Cultivators coming out of those dozen or so booths! Not a single one must be missed! The people from Booth Xuan Seven... are the priority! If necessary, use the 'Soul Locking Lure'!" Murderous intent was bared in his eyes; for a chance to extend his life, he would pay any price! He would rather kill by mistake than let them go!

However, Yue Li's phrase "consulting the Cult Leader" struck his mind again like Nine Heavens thunder!

Blood Moon Fairy was in the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower! And she was likely still injured! Was this a god-given opportunity? Or was he walking into a trap?

Ghost-Faced Old Man felt a chill rush from his spine straight to his crown! Blood Moon Fairy's fierce reputation was paved with the bones of countless Nine Nether Sect experts! Even in his prime, he wouldn't dare say he could definitely defeat this woman, let alone now when his Qi and blood were failing and his Primordial Spirit was unstable. If his whereabouts were discovered, he, Ghost-Faced Old Man, might become another head on the Sun Moon Divine Cult's battle merit list today!

"Damn it!" Ghost-Faced Old Man cursed inwardly, his claw-like fingers digging deep into the armrest of the jade seat, leaving several deep finger marks. He had to come up with a countermeasure immediately! Should he flee in the chaos? Or... seek fortune amidst the danger?!

Private Booth "Xuan Seven."

The space rippled slightly as the isolation Formation rippled away like water, and the door opened silently.

A powerful pressure—cold, eerie, and carrying a faint scent of blood—instantly filled the entire booth! Old Black Mu's muscles tensed immediately, like a beast facing its natural enemy. He subconsciously moved to shield Yao Delong, but was stopped by a single look from Yao Delong.

At the doorway, a figure stood quietly.

Silver hair cascaded down like a snowy waterfall, fluttering slightly in the windless space. Dressed in a crimson Daoist robe the color of congealed blood, her Soul-stirring curves were outlined perfectly. Her face was peerless, with features as exquisite as the Creator's most perfect masterpiece, and skin fairer than snow, seemingly breakable by a mere breath.

However, the most Soul-capturing part was her eyes—a pair of pure, deep pupils that seemed carved from the purest blood crystals! There were no whites, only an endless blood-color that seemed capable of swallowing Souls! At this moment, these blood-colored eyes landed calmly on Yao Delong, carrying a sense of scrutiny and inquiry.

Yao Delong's heart shook slightly!

This face... was seventy to eighty percent similar to the unforgettable face in his memory! The same world-toppling beauty, the same hint of demonic charm! But the woman before him had a bit more of an overbearing heroic spirit and a bone-deep eeriness. Standing there, she was like a Blood Moon hanging over a sea of corpses—bewitching, powerful, and suffocating!

[Ding! Cultivation target detected!]

[Name: Xin Yingying]

[Age: 1200]

[Cultivation: Void Refining Perfection]

[Spiritual Power Affinity: 10]

[Favorability: 0 (Wary)]

[System Prompt: The target's Primordial Spirit and Origin are damaged. The great void spirit nurturing pill provided by the host is highly attractive to her! It is recommended that the host seize the opportunity!]

The System's prompt flashed through Yao Delong's mind like lightning!

Xin Yingying! Core of the Heavenly Demon Sect! Cult Leader of the Sun Moon Divine Cult! Damaged Primordial Spirit!

Countless clues were instantly connected! No wonder they looked so similar! No wonder the Sun Moon Divine Cult could produce a Dao Artifact-level Ten Thousand Treasures Tower! No wonder they dared to plot the ambush of the Nine Nether Sect's high-level members! This confirmed that standing behind them was the entire Heavenly Demon Sect!

"This Fellow Daoist," Xin Yingying spoke, her voice clear and pleasant yet carrying an invisible pressure, as if the space of the entire booth had solidified under her will, "I am the Cult Leader of the Sun Moon Divine Cult, Blood Moon."

Her blood-colored eyes locked onto Yao Delong. "I heard that Fellow Daoist's 'great void spirit nurturing pill' is extraordinary, so I came to... confirm it personally." Her gaze swept over the two jade boxes on the table, her meaning clear—she wanted to inspect the goods!

Yao Delong's thoughts raced, but his face remained expressionless, maintaining a calm and indifferent composure. He knew well that in front of this woman, any extra emotional fluctuation could become a flaw.

Blood Moon Fairy extended a slender, perfect finger with nails stained with a faint blood-colored halo and gently took the jade bottle. When her fingertip touched the essence energy of the Seal on the bottle, a slight ripple seemed to spread deep within her blood-colored eyes—the other party's essence energy was unimaginably solid and pure, and it carried a strange, indescribable dao rhyme! Without a word, she tapped her finger, and the Seal melted away like snow.

The moment the stopper was opened!

An indescribable clear and spiritual Qi, accompanied by a strange pill fragrance that was as warm as jade and seemed capable of smoothing the wrinkles of the Soul, instantly filled the air! Just by inhaling a sliver of it, the constant Primordial Spirit pain Blood Moon Fairy suffered from her Dao injury seemed to ease for a moment!

In her blood-colored eyes, which were usually as calm as an ancient well, a visible shock finally appeared! This fragrance... could not be faked! It truly had an incredible nourishing and repairing effect on the Primordial Spirit!

But she remained cautious. She could not fully judge if the medicinal effect was truly as Heaven-Defying as the other party claimed.

"Old Zhu," Blood Moon Fairy spoke coldly.

Silently, a withered figure seemingly composed of countless distorted fragments of demonic Souls appeared at the booth's entrance like a ghost. It was the Hall Master of the Hall of Myriad Demons—Zhu Wuneng!

His two eyes, like cold stars piercing through the foul mist, immediately locked onto the jade bottle in Blood Moon Fairy's hand. A powerful and matchless Body Integration Stage Divine Sense, carrying a grim foul Qi, instantly enveloped that pale golden Medicinal Pill, the size of a longan, which lay quietly in the jade bottle with the misty Qi of the Great Void swirling around its surface!
