551: Arrived in the Blood Territory, Entered the Seven Nights of Snow

Thud!

Before Wang Gan could react, the folding fan sliced across his neck, and his head instantly fell to the ground. A force of annihilation swept through, shattering his Profound Manifestation and soul. Blood, like a gushing pillar of water, spurted out, staining Gu Jianting's face.

The folding fan transformed into a streak of light and flew back to the carriage.

“…”

Gu Jianting's expression froze, but she reacted incredibly fast, quickly conjuring a fire talisman. The talisman erupted in a burst of flames, engulfing Wang Gan's body.

With a bang, Wang Gan's body was directly incinerated into ashes by the intense flames, completely vanishing into thin air.

The Dao Repository guards and others' eyes widened, revealing shock. A Profound Manifestation Realm expert was just suppressed and killed like that?

They subconsciously looked towards the carriage… Gu Jianting took a deep breath, retracted her Profound Manifestation, and flew onto the carriage. She said to the Dao Repository guards, “Clean this up.”

With that, she walked towards the second floor of the carriage.

In the main hall.

More than a dozen cultivators had quietly left, and the remaining few were staring at Xie Weilou with horrified expressions.

Xie Weilou, meanwhile, was leisurely playing with his folding fan. He had a clean teacup in his hand, poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, and began to savor it alone.

Gu Jianting hurried towards Xie Weilou, cupped her fists, and said, “Many thanks, Brother Xie, for your timely intervention.”

She had misjudged him. She had thought he was merely a Xuanhuang Realm cultivator, but unexpectedly, he was a hidden powerhouse.

What kind of strength would it take to instantly sever the head of a Profound Phase Realm Peak expert?

At the very least, Dragon Transformation Realm!

Xie Weilou glanced at Gu Jianting and said with a faint smile, “Let's continue on our way.”

“Alright.”

Gu Jianting nodded quickly, not asking any further questions.

She understood the rules of the cultivation world; if someone didn't want to say more, one shouldn't press them.

After the guards cleared the boulders ahead, the bronze carriage swiftly moved forward, and the merchant caravan continued its journey… Two days later.

The carriage entered an ancient city in the center of the Blood Domain—Blood Capital City.

The city was massive, its walls dark, towering, and thick. Within the city, blood-red light permeated, and the sky was shrouded in a thick layer of bloody aura, giving off an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Inside the bronze carriage.

Gu Jianting's injuries had already recovered. She looked at Xie Weilou with a sincere expression: “Brother Xie, we have entered Blood Capital City. Would you like to visit my Gu Family?”

Xie Weilou stretched lazily and said with a faint smile, “I'll explore on my own for now!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jianting quickly said, “My Gu Family is in the east of the city. You are welcome to visit anytime, Brother Xie.”

“Mm!”

Xie Weilou nodded and then walked out of the carriage.

After leaving the carriage.

Xie Weilou looked around. The massive city had extremely wide streets, countless buildings, and intricate, crisscrossing alleyways.

The city was filled with a dense bloody aura. Blood could be seen on the streets and walls, and screams and sounds of fighting could be heard from some alleyways.

Some cultivators nearby were glaring fiercely at Xie Weilou, as if staring at a fat sheep.

There were also demon beasts and devils hidden in the alleyways, their eyes bloodthirsty, as if they had spotted delicious food.

“…”

Xie Weilou ignored those around him, playing with his folding fan, and walked forward with a composed expression.

Some cultivators, unaware of their impending doom, quietly followed him. With the Gu Family's merchant caravan present, they dared not act immediately; they needed to find an uninhabited spot before making a move.

However, before these cultivators could get close, they were struck by a powerful spiritual force, causing blood to flow from their seven orifices as they collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, those nearby were startled and quickly retreated.

After walking a thousand meters.

Xie Weilou stopped. Before him appeared a massive restaurant, seven stories high, adorned with red lanterns. It exuded an imposing and majestic aura.

The restaurant's plaque bore three characters: Seven Nights Snow.

“Seven Nights Snow…”

Xie Weilou gazed at the restaurant before him.

Siming had mentioned before that the Seven Nights Snow in Great Xia was not the only Seven Nights Snow; there were countless others.

He hadn't expected to encounter a second Seven Nights Snow immediately upon arriving in the Blood Domain.

Xie Bian, what a scheme!

“…”

After a brief moment of contemplation, Xie Weilou walked into Seven Nights Snow.

The moment he entered Seven Nights Snow, several spiritual forces probed him.

A maid quickly came forward to greet him: “Esteemed guest, may I ask what you would like to drink…”

Her words were cut short as they caught in her throat, for she had seen Xie Weilou's storage ring.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, “Bring a pot of fine wine.”

The maid quickly replied, “Alright! There are still seats upstairs, I'll lead you up.”

“Mm!”

Xie Weilou nodded slightly, then followed the maid upstairs.

Seventh floor.

Inside an exquisite room.

“Snow Consort greets the Tower Master!”

“Snow Rou greets the Tower Master!”

Two enchanting women respectfully bowed to Xie Weilou. One was at Divine Court Peak, and the other at Divine Court.

These two women had previously appeared in Blood Demon City.

Xie Weilou looked at the two women. The two Divine Court auras he had sensed in Blood Demon City were identical to those of the two women before him; what a coincidence.

“You must have noticed me back in Blood Demon City, right?” Xie Weilou said with a smile.

Snow Consort chuckled softly, “When we saw your ring, we confirmed your identity. We anticipated that you would surely come to the Blood Domain, so we didn't seek you out immediately.”

Xie Weilou mused, “I only came to the Blood Domain to handle some matters along the way and won't be staying long, so I won't interfere too much with Seven Nights Snow's development.”

Compared to managing a faction, he preferred to act alone.

Of course, if Seven Nights Snow encountered trouble, he would naturally resolve it, as this was a force created by his third uncle.

Snow Consort said earnestly, “No matter what, the moment you put on that storage ring, you became the Tower Master of Seven Nights Snow forever. This was also the Old Tower Master's instruction: as long as you are in this Blood Domain, whatever the Tower Master needs, we will do our utmost to accomplish it for you.”

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, “We'll talk about this later. First, prepare for me the most complete map of the Blood Domain.”

Snow Consort took out a map from her storage ring and handed it to Xie Weilou, saying, “Tower Master, this is the map of the Blood Domain, with a very comprehensive distribution of forces within it.”

Xie Weilou took the map and examined it carefully. Soon, he found the location of the Nine Heavens Tower—Dark City.

Dark City was located a hundred miles north of Blood Capital City. It was a city perpetually devoid of sunlight, suitable for dark forces to reside.

A few breaths later.

Xie Weilou put away the map. He looked at the two women: “I will temporarily reside in Seven Nights Snow.”

He planned to go to Nine Heavens Tower in a couple of days and resolve everything directly then.

Not only did he need Nine Heavens Tower to provide an explanation, but he also learned from Kong Ling's memories that Yan Wugou seemed to have entered Nine Heavens Tower, and he would need to eradicate him as well.

Snow Consort softly said, “Understood, Tower Master!”
