553: This bead is dispensable.
At night in Blood Capital City, the blood-colored moonlight shone down, its halo gradually dimming, hazy like a blood-red veil, carrying a hint of bloodlust.
Xie Weilou and Nan Zhiyi walked on the main street, with many people secretly watching them.
“...”
Nan Zhiyi glanced around, and a surge of pressure erupted, instantly startling away those hidden in the shadows.
The two continued forward.
After strolling for over an hour and witnessing numerous sights, Nan Zhiyi led Xie Weilou to a stone bridge.
Nan Zhiyi gazed at the blood-red moon in the sky, her long hair brushby the gentle breeze, and softly said, “The moon in the outside world is pure and flawless, but the moon in the Blood Domain is blood-red, filled with a murderous aura.”
Xie Weilou looked at Nan Zhiyi: “When I came to Blood Capital City in the Gu Family’s carriage, I heard people mention that the Nan Family was the number one cultivation family in the Blood Domain…”
Nan Zhiyi said with a somber expression, “The Nan Family has already been annihilated.”
“Tell me about it.”
Xie Weilou softly said.
Nan Zhiyi looked at the sky and murmured, “In a place like the Blood Domain, massacres and clan annihilation are extremely common. The Nan Family, located in Yuan City of the Blood Domain, offended many powerful enemies during its peak, and the Nan Family possessed a supreme treasure, making them guilty by possession… After the Nan Family’s Divine Court Ancestor fell, various powerful enemies seized the opportunity and annihilated my Nan Family.”
“I also suffered betrayal from a maidservant and nearly perished. It was Snow Consort who gave me a bottle of Ancient Demon blood, which allowed me to live again and even elevated my cultivation to Dragon Transformation Realm Peak…”
Xie Weilou said, “The boss of Blood Soul Tower and the Blood Demon Young Master are dead. Have you avenged yourself?”
Nan Zhiyi shook her head and said, “No! They were just two of my enemies. I still have three major enemies: Blood Cloak Keep, Godly Gun City, and Ten Thousand Swords Gate. These three forces are the greatest enemies. I will only seek them out once I reach the Divine Court Realm.”
When the Nan Family was annihilated, these three forces sent three Divine Court powerhouses.
Those three Divine Court experts not only wanted to annihilate the Nan Family but also to seize the Nan Family’s blood hell nine fiend pearl. However, Nan Zhi and the Blood Demon Young Master ended up benefiting from the situation.
After listening, Xie Weilou took out a blood-colored bead from his storage ring and handed it to Nan Zhiyi: “This is the blood hell nine fiend pearl I obtained from Blood Qifeng’s storage ring. It should be your family’s supreme treasure. Now, it is returned to its rightful owner.”
If Nan Zhiyi was not one of Seven Nights Snow’s people, then he naturally would not have taken out this blood hell nine fiend pearl and would have studied it carefully.
However, since she was already one of Seven Nights Snow’s people, and currently his subordinate, he would not covet this item.
Upon seeing Xie Weilou take out the blood hell nine fiend pearl, Nan Zhiyi quickly shook her head and said, “Since this item has reached the Tower Lord’s hands, it naturally belongs to the Tower Lord. Moreover, the Tower Lord saved my life, so Zhiyi certainly cannot accept this item.”
Xie Weilou placed the blood hell nine fiend pearl into Nan Zhiyi’s hand and said with a faint smile, “You are already one of Seven Nights Snow’s people. This bead is your family’s treasure. Now that the Nan Family is annihilated, having this item can be a form of remembrance. If I were to keep this, I would feel somewhat uneasy.”
“I…”
Nan Zhiyi grew anxious and quickly handed the bead back to Xie Weilou.
Xie Weilou waved his hand and said, “Keep it!”
“But…”
Nan Zhiyi looked at Xie Weilou with a stubborn expression.
Xie Weilou smiled faintly and said, “Your Tower Lord is incredibly powerful. This blood hell nine fiend pearl is dispensable to me, but you are different. You are already at Dragon Transformation Realm Peak. With this bead, you will certainly be able to step into the Divine Court Realm more easily.”
“...”
Nan Zhiyi looked at the bead in her hand and fell silent.
Snow Consort had saved her life, and the Tower Lord had also saved her life. Now, the Tower Lord was even giving her the blood hell nine fiend pearl. She felt that she owed Seven Nights Snow too much.
Xie Weilou said, “My Third Uncle once said that the moment I became the Tower Lord of Seven Nights Snow, I had to shoulder Seven Nights Snow’s development. But I seem not to be a qualified Tower Lord. I will also leave the Blood Domain in the future. The future of Seven Nights Snow will still depend on you all. The stronger you are, the better.”
When Nan Zhiyi heard this, a misty look appeared in her eyes. She bowed deeply to Xie Weilou: “Tower Lord, rest assured, Zhiyi will never fail Seven Nights Snow, and will never fail the Tower Lord, in this life and forever!”
“Mm!”
Xie Weilou nodded gently.
“...”
Nan Zhiyi silently put away the blood hell nine fiend pearl, her heart also filled with complex emotions.
Buzz!
Just then, four chilling auras locked onto Xie Weilou and Nan Zhiyi. On both sides of the stone bridge, two old men appeared, each emanating the pressure of a Profound Phase Realm Peak expert.
“Are you that Xie Wushi?”
One of the old men looked at Xie Weilou with disdain. They were from the Wang Family, sent by the Wang Family’s Young Master.
Xie Weilou looked at the four old men: “Is something the matter?”
“Killing our Wang Family elder, you deserve to die!”
The old man said with a chilling tone.
Boom!
The four Profound Phase Realm Peak old men moved, instantly attacking the center of the stone bridge.
“Seeking death!”
A cold glint flashed in Nan Zhiyi’s eyes, and a Dragon Transformation Realm Peak might erupted. The four old men were sent flying the moment they approached.
“Dragon Transformation Realm…”
As the four old men flew backward, a look of terror appeared in their eyes.
“Die!”
Nan Zhiyi waved her sleeve, and a wave of demonic energy swept out, instantly reducing the four old men to ashes.
Xie Weilou smiled indifferently: “We’ve seen enough. Let’s go back!”
“Alright.”
Nan Zhiyi reined in her aura.
Then, she returned to Seven Nights Snow with Xie Weilou.

Dark City.
In the central area, there stood a nine-story tower as black as ink. All around the tower were mysterious grand halls.
This tower was precisely the Nine Heavens Tower, housing countless powerhouses.
The Nine Heavens Tower could be called the strongest force in the Blood Domain, with countless Divine Court experts, and its Tower Lord was even a powerhouse beyond the Divine Court.
At the pinnacle of the pavilion.
The moonlight shone down, illuminating a middle-aged man in black robes sitting cross-legged. A terrifying pressure emanated from him, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
This middle-aged man was none other than the Tower Lord of the Nine Heavens Tower, Chongming Tower.
“Reporting to the Tower Lord, your subordinate has an urgent matter to report!”
Below the tall building, a black-clad figure bowed.
Chongming Tower opened his eyes, a profound light flickering within them, and he said indifferently, “What is it?”
The black-clad figure said, “Xie Weilou has come to the Blood Domain and is currently in Blood Capital City.”
“Xie Weilou?”
Chongming Tower’s eyes revealed a chilling killing intent: “Send Tianyi to Blood Capital City. This child must die.”
“Understood!”
The black-clad figure bowed and quickly departed.
Chongming Tower looked towards the sky, his eyes gleaming with cold light: “All people of Great Xia deserve to die. The Xia Emperor deserves to die, and Xie Weilou deserves to die even more.”
Having taken half a step, he had originally thought he could be invincible in this world, but he didn’t expect to have been beaten to within an inch of his life by the Xia Emperor before.
When the Xia Emperor left, he had said that he would leave Chongming Tower’s life for Xie Weilou to end.
He wanted to see what that brat could do to him.
