216: The situation is not good.

"Elder Yun, in your current state, can you exchange a few moves with a Quasi-Emperor?"

Mo Tianxiao asked Elder Yun; currently, he had no means to counter a Quasi-Emperor on his own.

Unless he called upon his Revered Master, but this place was an unknown distance away from the Demon State. Whether he could even call her was one thing, and even if she could come, she would likely only be an energy projection, not even a Clone. She might not necessarily be able to kill the Blood God.

Elder Yun pondered for a moment before speaking, "If it is just a Quasi-Emperor's Divine Soul, I can fight it by coordinating with this Soul Refining Grand Array and adding the three newly refined Saint King-level Divine Souls."

"However, there is a high probability the opponent won't risk a direct Possession with their Divine Soul. A mere Quasi-Emperor level Divine Soul cannot defeat a Saint King Realm expert."

A Quasi-Emperor, in the end, was still in the Saint King Realm; they had simply taken one step further than other Cultivators. Relying solely on the Divine Soul was not enough to threaten a Saint King Realm expert who possessed a Physical Body.

But a Quasi-Emperor Expert with a Physical Body was different; such an existence could almost crush an ordinary Saint Realm Expert.

Elder Yun continued, "I suggest not fighting head-on; our main objective should be to escape."

Mo Tianxiao showed a helpless expression. Naturally, he also wanted to slip away first, but he didn't know how to escape. When they came, Zhou Muxi had already clearly stated that it was impossible to get out without someone to lead the way.

So even if he wanted to escape, he had to at least take someone with him who could find the way.

"We'll take it one step at a time. Waiting here isn't a solution either. I expect the Blood God already knows what happened here."

Following the information he had obtained, Mo Tianxiao formed hand seals and released spiritual power. A vortex gate appeared beside the three seated bodies.

Taking a deep breath, Mo Tianxiao stepped toward the vortex gate.

Just as his body appeared in the previous palace, a snow-white hand dragged him over.

"You've finally come out!" Zhou Muxi's eyes were grave.

Mo Tianxiao saw the scene in the palace and realized he no longer needed to explain.

The Blood God sat on the main seat, while four white figures surrounded Zhou Muxi and the other two, forming an encirclement.

Mo Tianxiao's eye twitched slightly. "Hey, hey, hey, I only came to broaden my horizons, not to seek death. Don't do this to me."

"You actually managed to survive and even eliminated three Core Elders of the Blood God Palace. Interesting."

The Blood God's low voice rang out. His gaze beneath the mask looked at Mo Tianxiao, filled with scrutiny.

Mo Tianxiao's gaze darkened. "The Core Elders you mentioned... are they these External Incarnations of yours?"

"Hahahahaha! Not bad, not bad at all. To think you could see through the fact that these people are this seat's External Incarnations. You, Little Girl, truly are interesting."

"Blood God! Is this how you control the Blood God Palace? Refining the previous generation of blood children into your own External Incarnations? It seems you had designs on us long ago."

Chen Fanzhu's expression was unfriendly. The middle-aged man from the Eastern Region was also staring at the Blood God with a grave expression, his eyes full of wariness.

"Blood God, you've hidden yourself too deeply. You actually deceived us for so long," the Eastern Region blood child, Lu Ye, said.

"I say, wouldn't it be better if you all just obediently submitted? Only one of the three of you will become this seat's target for Possession, while the other two will be refined into External Incarnations. Rest assured, this seat will preserve your consciousness."

"Unless I actively control you, you will be no different from ordinary people and can still pursue the Great Dao of longevity."

"To make us your Puppets forever and yet describe it so pleasantly—it's my first time seeing someone as shameless as you."

Zhou Muxi retorted without the slightest politeness. At the same time, she looked at Mo Tianxiao, her tone somewhat apologetic. "Sister Nan, I miscalculated this time. I am truly sorry for involving you. If we can get out safely, I will find a way to compensate you."

Mo Tianxiao waved his hand dismissively. "Let's get out first. Escaping from this guy's hands might be a bit difficult."

"Hahahahaha, you still want to escape?"

"Little Girl, since you destroyed three of my External Incarnations, you four will replace them. Exactly four people: one for Possession and three to be refined into External Incarnations. One more would be a waste, one less would be imperfect. You four are just right."

The Blood God looked at Mo Tianxiao. "You, Little Girl, are quite lucky. This seat's requirement for an External Incarnation is at least the Saint King Realm. You are merely in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, yet you have the honor of becoming this seat's Incarnation. It is the greatest honor of your life."

Of course, the reason the Blood God included Mo Tianxiao in the scope of refining External Incarnations was that he took a fancy to her talent. Someone who could take down the Divine Souls of three of his Saint King-level External Incarnations was definitely no ordinary character.

"I also feel very honored. So, respected Lord Blood God, could you please let this Junior leave? I can bring you even more suitable External Incarnations and guarantee you will be absolutely satisfied."

Mo Tianxiao silently retreated behind Zhou Muxi, his tone respectful. "I have several Elders whose cultivation bases are quite good. If Lord Blood God doesn't mind, I can call them here together. That way, you can refine even more powerful External Incarnations."

"Oh? Are you saying you have someone backing you and are threatening me?"

The Blood God pressed down on the armrest of his chair and slowly leaned forward toward Mo Tianxiao, a terrifying pressure sweeping over.

"Do you think there is any existence in this Xuanhuang World that this seat fears?"

Zhou Muxi used her saint yuan power to protect Mo Tianxiao, neutralizing the pressure of the Quasi-Emperor Expert.

Mo Tianxiao hid behind Zhou Muxi, poked his head out, and looked at the Blood God.

"Lord Blood God misunderstands. Lord Blood God is a Quasi-Emperor Expert; how could anyone possibly threaten you? It's just that my Elder has a violent temper. If she learns that I became Lord Blood God's External Incarnation without a word, she might come looking for trouble with Lord Blood God."

"This Junior is simply worried about Lord Blood God's safety."

The Blood God laughed loudly.

"What a joke! Worried about my safety? Chen Fanzhu, a Deacon of the Western Region Blood God Palace and a Core Elder of the Great Thunder Sound Temple."

"Lu Ye, a Deacon of the Eastern Region Blood God Palace and an Elder of the Heavenly Sound Pavilion."

"Zhou Muxi, a Deacon of the Central Divine Land Blood God Palace and current Sect Master of the Haoran Righteousness Sect."

"Which of their identities isn't stronger than a tiny Tribulation Crossing Cultivator like you? You think you can threaten this seat?"

"Once you enter this seat's territory, even a fellow Quasi-Emperor must bow their head!"

Even against another Quasi-Emperor Expert, the Blood God was full of confidence. No one could defeat him in the same Realm!

Relying solely on the Blood Concealment Art, a rankless secret technique, he could remain invincible within the same Realm!

Hearing the Blood God's words, Mo Tianxiao's heart immediately sank.

Judging by this tone, it seemed even bringing out his backing would be useless. This guy actually wouldn't even give Face to a Quasi-Emperor.

Zhou Muxi's brow furrowed slightly. With a flip of her palm, a fist-sized jade seal appeared in her hand. The jade seal emitted a faint golden light, and the sound of a Dragon's roar could faintly be heard from within.

"Today, I truly want to see just how strong a Quasi-Emperor Expert really is!"
