73: The power of the Exploding Blood Demonic Art! Black Wind Mountain is approaching!

“You want to befriend me, to gain my friendship?”

Upon returning to his room, Chen Yi recalled Bai Santong’s actions and immediately guessed the other party’s intention in making him City Lord and inviting him to the Bai family.

However, his friendship was not that easily obtained.

But it had to be said, although the Bai family couldn’t gain his friendship, if they could serve him loyally, he wouldn’t mind protecting them.

For the Bai family, this was already an immense favor.

As for whether the Bai family would betray him in the future…

He was even less worried.

The Bai family head’s cultivation was not bad; he was a Nascent Soul Realm.

But he had just slain two top Nascent Soul Realm, so he naturally had the ability to suppress the entire Bai family, and judging by his growth rate…

It wouldn’t be long before he could destroy the Bai family with a mere flick of his hand.

Why would he still need to worry about their betrayal?

He didn’t worry, nor did he care.

Thinking of this, he took out the three Martial Skill cards he had just acquired, chose one, and crushed it!

“System, comprehend the Blood Explosion Demon Skill!”

Although this Cultivation Technique was called a Demonic Technique and was a Martial Skill from the demon king token, in Chen Yi’s opinion, Cultivation Techniques had no good or evil; it all depended on the user.

He didn’t mind cultivating it.

Besides, it was a Supreme Law; it would be a waste not to learn it.

“martial skill completion card in use, target: Blood Explosion Demon Skill!”

In an instant.

All the profound mysteries of this Demonic Technique surged into Chen Yi’s mind, and his comprehension of this Cultivation Technique immediately reached an unparalleled level.

“I just wonder what the power of this Cultivation Technique is like…”

Chen Yi was a little curious.

Then, he circulated his true essence and forced a drop of blood from his fingertip!

That drop of blood emitted a faint sanguine glow, seemingly containing a terrifying fluctuation that made one’s heart palpitate!

Chen Yi had a feeling that if the power contained within this drop of blood were to explode in the Bai family, half of the Bai family would be obliterated.

“Good heavens… the power of this Blood Explosion Demon Skill seems to exceed imagination…” Chen Yi murmured.

He immediately left the Bai family and went to a desolate wilderness, found an uninhabited mountain, and flicked the drop of blood from his hand.

Boom!!

In an instant, terrifying blood-red flames surged forth, mixed with a large amount of Pure Yang power, and half of the mountain was blown away!

The power of this single drop of blood was no less than a full-strength strike from a top Nascent Soul Realm, which even made Chen Yi momentarily stunned.

“Something’s not right; the Blood Explosion Demon Skill recorded on the demon king token shouldn’t have such great power! What’s going on?”

“Wait, the blood-fire is mixed with Pure Yang power; could it be because of the Pure Yang Body?!” Chen Yi’s eyes lit up.

He understood.

The power of this Blood Explosion Demon Skill was not constant but varied according to cultivation and even according to the Martial Artist’s Physique!

He was a Pure Yang Body, so his blood was naturally not ordinary blood.

Therefore, the power of this Blood Explosion Demon Skill in his hands was probably far greater than the power it would exert in the hands of other Martial Artists.

The demon king token didn’t record this point, presumably even the creator of this Cultivation Technique hadn’t thought of it!

“Good heavens, I thought it was a flawed Cultivation Technique, but I didn’t expect it to be so powerful. It’s an unexpected gain.”

Chen Yi was very satisfied with the power of the Blood Explosion Demon Skill.

Back at the Bai family.

Bai Santong continued to tell him about Phoenixia City, and then Bai Santong summoned the heads of the major families in Phoenixia City.

He explained that he had been appointed acting City Lord and asked everyone to support his work. Even if the family heads were somewhat unwilling, they had no choice.

Firstly, the other party had Chen Yi backing him.

Secondly, the Bai family’s strength was indeed strong enough.

After City Lord Xia’s death, among the various families, the Bai family was the strongest.

Thus, at Chen Yi’s instruction, the Bai family began to manage various affairs of Phoenixia City, and the Bai family would report to Chen Yi on some major decisions, especially those concerning interests.

For example, the share of Spirit Stone mine exploitation, and the monthly taxes from various shops and restaurants; the Bai family dared not conceal anything.

After all, they knew that with Chen Yi’s strength, he could easily crush the Bai family.

It would be foolish to offend Chen Yi for a small profit.

On this day.

Bai Santong was looking at a blueprint.

It was the design for the new City Lord’s mansion.

Although Chen Yi said he would leave soon and probably wouldn’t live in the new City Lord’s mansion even if it was built.

But Bai Santong felt it still needed to be built.

After all, even if Chen Yi left, Phoenixia City was still nominally his property. Who knew when the other party would return?

Moreover, this was also a statement of attitude.

It was like a subordinate giving a gift to a superior; if the superior said they didn’t want it, that was the superior’s business, but if you didn’t give it, oh, then that was your problem.

Chen Yi could say there was no need to build it.

But the Bai family could not not build it.

It was all about human relations.

At this moment.

A soldier quickly came before Bai Santong, kneeling halfway on the ground, “Reporting to the acting City Lord, according to reports from our scouts, yesterday the people of Blackwind Mountain suddenly launched a large-scale military operation, with tens of thousands of people, heading straight towards Phoenixia City!”

“What?!”

Bai Santong’s face changed slightly, “This is bad, they must be coming to Phoenixia City because of City Lord Xia’s death! We must report this to the City Lord!”

He immediately found Chen Yi.

He briefly explained the situation.

“I checked the accounts yesterday and found that when the previous City Lord was in charge, he would send a batch of Spirit Stone to Blackwind Mountain every month! It should be that Blackwind Mountain knew City Lord Xia’s true identity and used it as a threat to demand Spirit Stone.

Now that City Lord Xia is dead, Blackwind Mountain cannot remain indifferent to Phoenixia City, this juicy piece of meat. Their visit this time must be to annex Phoenixia City in one fell swoop. Once the people of Blackwind Mountain enter the city, it will definitely be a disaster for Phoenixia City.” Bai Santong elaborated.

After listening, Chen Yi felt that Blackwind Mountain might not only be coming for Phoenixia City but also for the demon king token in his hand.

After all, this was a valuable Supreme Law.

“What are the odds of Phoenixia City’s current military strength against Blackwind Mountain?”

“Less than twenty percent! But the most crucial thing is that the person leading Blackwind Mountain’s expedition this time is their Third Master! He is a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Realm!”

Upon mentioning the words Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Realm, Bai Santong’s expression became incredibly solemn.

A Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Realm could communicate with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi with their true essence, controlling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to unleash extremely terrifying combat power!!

They were by no means comparable to a Nascent Soul Realm.

Within Phoenixia City, no one was a match for a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Realm.

As for Chen Yi…

He also couldn’t be sure of the other party’s strength. The other party could slay two top Nascent Soul Realm, but could he really win against a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Realm?

After listening, Chen Yi did not show any obvious emotional fluctuations.

He said indifferently: “I understand. You go ahead and deploy your people to prepare to resist Blackwind Mountain. I will find a way to deal with that Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Realm.”

“Yes.”

Bai Santong dared not be negligent.

And the reason Chen Yi wasn’t flustered was because he knew there was a Dao Protector following him.

If he really couldn’t handle it, he could always call the other party out for help!

However, a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Realm…

He was a little curious to know how big the gap was between his current self and a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Realm.

“I should still prepare more.”

Chen Yi thought to himself.

However, although his talent was good, his cultivation strength couldn’t be improved just like that. In a short period, what method could he use to increase his strength and help him deal with the incoming Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Realm?

Suddenly, Chen Yi thought of something and took out the Emotionless Jade Pendant he carried with him, “This jade pendant seems to contain the Legacy of a Path of Emotional Detachment expert. It’s just that my cultivation wasn’t high enough to view it before. Now, I should be able to…”
