81: A shocking conspiracy, the Blood Clotting Bottle!

Su Yuan, lying on the ground, nearly flipped himself up.

What did he hear? That he alone should clear out all the Third Realm Yanlong Cult Followers in Qianshan District?

"I have already investigated. There are 107 Yanlong Cult Followers below the Third Realm in the entire Qianshan District."

"Because of your actions, this area has accumulated one-tenth of the Yanlong Cult Followers."

"Eight were killed yesterday, leaving ninety-nine, but we cannot guarantee that followers from other areas won't come later."

Li Dieyi said.

The requirement was for Su Yuan to clear out all followers below the Third Realm in the area within one month.

This included Second Realm High Rank and Peak Second Realm Martial Artists.

The difficulty was immense.

"There might be more Yanlong Cult Followers over in Shuangxin City."

Li Dieyi added.

As Shuangxin City was mentioned, Yun Yiyao's phone suddenly vibrated.

She opened her phone and glanced at the message.

Upon seeing it, Yun Yiyao's pupils suddenly constricted as she scanned a dozen lines of text.

"News came from the Shuangxin City Martial Arts Association: today at 10:20 AM, one of the Yanlong Cult's Vice Cult Masters, Bei Xing, launched a surprise attack on Baiyan Martial Arts Hall."

"The target was clear; he was heading straight for Bai Siyi."

"Bai Xu was right beside Bai Siyi at the time, and Zhu Qinhui was also near Bai Siyi."

"Around them, twelve Sixth Realm Martial Artists were all inside the Baiyan Martial Arts Hall."

Speaking up to this point, a hint of sadness appeared in Yun Yiyao's eyes.

"The power of a Seventh Realm Martial Artist surpasses imagination. Even an Initial Stage one is not something fourteen Sixth Realm Martial Artists can contend with."

"To protect Bai Siyi, seven Sixth Realm Martial Artists ultimately died, and six Sixth Realm Martial Artists, including Zhu Qinhui, were severely injured."

"Bai Xu, as a Sixth Realm Peak Martial Artist, desperately resisted Bei Xing, using the cost of burning his lifespan, and together with the desperate struggle of the other Sixth Realm Martial Artists, they finally managed to kill Bei Xing."

"In the end, Bai Xu was left with only three years of life."

After she finished speaking, the living room fell silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

The Yanlong Cult had indeed made a move on Shuangxin City.

"What about Bai Siyi?"

After a long silence, Li Dieyi quietly looked at Yun Yiyao and asked.

Yun Yiyao's expression was solemn: "Completely safe."

"It is truly regrettable that Shuangxin City lost so many Sixth Realm Martial Artists."

"Did the other Yanlong Cult Vice Cult Master not come?"

Li Dieyi noticed that Yun Yiyao had only mentioned one Yanlong Cult Vice Cult Master.

Yun Yiyao immediately replied: "The other Vice Cult Master is missing."

"No trace of him has been found within Xiwu Province so far."

Hearing this, Li Dieyi felt something was wrong: "That's not right."

"If even their Cult Leader couldn't escape, how did a Seventh Realm Initial Stage Vice Cult Master evade President Liu's pursuit?"

"The Yanlong Cult has a major scheme."

Li Dieyi suddenly sensed a dangerous aura.

The current state of the Yanlong Cult could be described as lingering on its last breath, but where was the remaining Vice Cult Master?

Liu Qinsheng and the others were not incompetent; yet, several days had passed, and they still hadn't found the remaining Vice Cult Master.

This surprise attack on Shuangxin City only involved one Vice Cult Master, which ultimately resulted in Shuangxin City suffering heavy losses.

To be safe, shouldn't both Vice Cult Masters have been deployed simultaneously? That would have increased the probability of capturing Bai Siyi alive, and Bei Xing would not have been sacrificed.

"At the scene, Bai Xu said that every time a Sixth Realm Martial Artist died, a blood-red bottle would appear in Bei Xing's hand. With a gentle tap, a drop of blood would be squeezed from the heart of the deceased Sixth Realm Martial Artist and flow into the bottle."

"The moment Bei Xing died, a drop of blood from his heart also flowed into the bottle."

"After killing Bei Xing, Bai Xu found no trace of the blood-red bottle at the scene; it had completely vanished."

Li Dieyi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this: "This is bad!"

"The Yanlong Cult is planning to artificially create an Eighth Realm Martial Artist. If my guess is correct, the blood-red bottle is the Blood Condensation Bottle from Secret Realm No. 14."

"As long as they collect the essence blood of fifty Sixth Realm Martial Artists plus the essence blood of ten Seventh Realm Martial Artists, the Blood Condensation Bottle can convert the vital Qi and blood internally, providing enormous energy for promotion to an Eighth Realm Martial Artist."

"It is said that this Yanlong Cult Leader's brainwashing technique is extremely potent. Perhaps he never died at all, but instead switched identities with one of the Vice Cult Masters beforehand!"

"The discovery of the Yanlong Cult headquarters was very likely orchestrated deliberately by the Yanlong Cult Leader!"

"The purpose was to absorb the essence blood of his own Seventh Realm Martial Artists, and even the essence blood of Xiwu Province's Seventh and Sixth Realm Martial Artists."

"This Blood Condensation Bottle appeared once 150 years ago. Fortunately, it fell into the hands of an Eighth Realm Martial Artist from the Jing Province Martial Arts Association, and ultimately, a great disaster was averted."

Su Yuan, who had been lying on the ground, recovered some strength and slowly stood up.

After listening to Li Dieyi's analysis for a long time, Su Yuan also found it reasonable.

Better safe than sorry.

If the Yanlong Cult Leader truly achieved a Breakthrough to the Eighth Realm, Xiwu Province would likely be finished.

The head of a cult organization achieving a Breakthrough to the Eighth Realm was terrifying just to think about.

"The Yanlong Cult exposing its headquarters this time might be because the Blood Condensation Bottle's conversion requirements were about to be met, prompting the Yanlong Cult Leader to execute this plan."

"Yi Yao, do you have President Liu's contact information?"

"I want to talk to him."

Li Dieyi looked at Yun Yiyao, wanting to verify her recent thoughts.

If the deduction was true, then they needed to make thorough preparations.

"Yes, I'll send it to you right away."

Yun Yiyao opened the messaging app, searched for a moment, and sent Liu Qinsheng's number to Li Dieyi.

Three seconds later, Li Dieyi dialed Liu Qinsheng's number.

"Hello, who is this."

A tired voice came from the other end of the line.

Li Dieyi was using a custom number from Zhanfeng University, so Liu Qinsheng would not ignore the call.

Li Dieyi stated her name: "Li Dieyi."

Liu Qinsheng, sitting in the Xiwu Province Martial Arts Association President's office, immediately perked up.

"It's Instructor Li. May I ask what the matter is?"

Clearly, Liu Qinsheng knew of Li Dieyi's great reputation.

Next, Li Dieyi told Liu Qinsheng her recent deduction.

After a moment, Liu Qinsheng on the other end of the phone was silent.

After a brief silence, Liu Qinsheng's tone became heavy: "I didn't expect Instructor Li to figure out what has been happening in Xiwu Province recently."

"The 'Cult Leader' I killed earlier was not the Yanlong Cult's true Cult Leader, Quan Yiqi, but one of the five Vice Cult Masters, whose strength was only Seventh Realm Initial Stage."

"I was slightly careless at the last moment. Just before dying, that 'Cult Leader' suddenly self-detonated his 'Containment' power."

"The massive explosive energy directly claimed the lives of one Seventh Realm Initial Stage Martial Artist and five Sixth Realm High-Rank Martial Artists from my Xiwu Province Martial Arts Association."

"At the same time, with the appearance of the Blood Condensation Bottle, I also realized Quan Yiqi's conspiracy."

"Unfortunately, so far, Quan Yiqi has not been found anywhere within Xiwu Province. I feel ashamed before the Xiwu Province Martial Arts Association."

Liu Qinsheng's words revealed his exhaustion. He couldn't believe that the largest cult organization within Xiwu Province had such a meticulous plan.

As the President of the Xiwu Province Martial Arts Association and Director of the Martial Arts Education Bureau, he had failed to discover it.

"President Liu, you don't have to feel that way. Didn't you also kill three Seventh Realm Elementary individuals?"

"The destruction of the entire Yanlong Cult headquarters and the scattering of the remaining followers—these are all your accomplishments."

Li Dieyi said comfortingly.

At this point, Liu Qinsheng felt confused. Since Li Dieyi was an instructor at Zhanfeng University in Jing Province, how did she have his phone number? He immediately asked.

"Instructor Li, are you perhaps inside Xiwu Province?"

Li Dieyi hummed in affirmation.

Liu Qinsheng's tone brightened: "That's wonderful!"

"Instructor Li, could you please help me search for Quan Yiqi? I will owe you three favors."
