89: Kidney deficiency

“Alright, arguing with words is useless!”

“Since most people have arrived, let’s prepare to jointly tear open a spatial rift and send people in.”

Just as the atmosphere was heating up, Xuanwu Great Saint suddenly spoke.

He interrupted the confrontation between the three young Supremes of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect and Lin Yang.

“Xuanwu Great Saint’s words are reasonable. Even if we argue endlessly outside, the Demon Immortal Legacy inside won’t come out on its own.”

“Precisely. The priority is to quickly open the spatial passage and send our respective Sect’s Prodigies in.”

Forces from all sides responded.

Not everyone wanted to stay and watch the Holy Emperor Sect engage in a war of words, arguing with Fenglei Temple, then with Celestial Immortal Academy, and after Celestial Immortal Academy, moving on to the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect.

What was there to see in just talking and not fighting?

The purpose of everyone gathering here today was for the renowned ancient Demon Immortal Tomb.

Who the hell had time to watch them argue?

As several of the most prestigious figures present responded one after another, everyone also took out the Magical Artifacts they had prepared.

These Magical Artifacts had been jointly refined by the Peak powerhouses behind their respective Sects, carrying unimaginable power.

After calculations, as long as these Magical Artifacts collectively struck one spot, they could temporarily tear open a spatial rift in the outer spatial barrier of the Demon Immortal Tomb, large enough for Martial Venerables to enter.

Boom!

Soon, several Magical Artifacts rose into the sky, and under the control of the Saints, they collectively blasted towards a relatively weak spatial node.

Buzz!

After being hit by the terrifying energy impact, the barrier spread astonishing ripples, scattering the surrounding clouds.

And just as everyone’s attention was drawn to the energy ripples spreading from the spatial node, Si Guoyi, the previous generation’s Immortal Seed of Celestial Immortal Academy, quietly retreated half a step, his gaze subtly directed towards the Heavenly Kingdom Sect.

He had come along not just for Nangong Xueli alone.

He had an even more important mission!

Taking advantage of everyone’s distraction while attacking the Immortal Tomb’s barrier, Si Guoyi secretly bit his fingertip, forcing out a drop of his vital blood.

After leaving his body, the vital blood immediately vanished into the Void Realm, moving stealthily. After avoiding everyone’s notice, it rapidly darted towards a figure shrouded in black robes within the Heavenly Kingdom Sect’s team.

It was precisely the Clone that Holy Son Ye Chen, the Saint of the Heavenly Kingdom Sect, had created from a fragment of his own heart not long ago!

Night Shadow!

“Although this puppet is formed from a fragment of the main body’s heart and appears no different from an ordinary person, it was born too recently and has not yet developed, lacking intelligence...”

Simply put, although this Night Shadow Clone possessed some of Holy Son Ye Chen’s power, it had no mind and required remote control to unleash its true combat strength.

It was precisely for this reason that Si Guoyi, as one of Holy Son Ye Chen’s Seven Ultimate Clones, appeared here at this critical moment, in the identity of an old Immortal Seed of Celestial Immortal Academy.

“Lin Yang, oh Lin Yang, I originally didn’t want to get too involved in the scheming between you and the main body. But since you refuse to annul your engagement with Senior Sister Xue Li, then this Demon Immortal Tomb... might just be a good place for you to rest in peace!”

Just as Si Guoyi was about to establish a remote connection with Night Shadow through the vital blood he had released, a faint light suddenly flashed.

The next moment, Si Guoyi was horrified to discover that the drop of vital blood he had forced out had mysteriously vanished right under his nose!

Si Guoyi: “???”

“What’s going on? Where did that drop of blood go?”

This sudden turn of events left Si Guoyi slightly stunned, a bit at a loss.

Unable to comprehend, Si Guoyi could only put aside the matter for now.

Because, as time passed, the spatial node that everyone was jointly attacking already showed signs of being breached.

Once the barrier was broken, the other Saints present would have time to observe their surroundings.

By then, it would be difficult for him to secretly establish contact with Night Shadow of the Heavenly Kingdom Sect!

With this thought, Si Guoyi had no time to ponder why the previous drop of vital blood had suddenly disappeared. He quickly forced out another drop of vital blood and sent it flying through the Void Realm towards the Heavenly Kingdom Sect.

Whoosh!

However, just as that drop of vital blood was about to enter Night Shadow’s body, the scene that had surprised him before reappeared.

“Again... it suddenly vanished again!?”

“Why?”

Si Guoyi gasped, his gaze scanning around with a hint of terror.

Had someone discovered his little tricks?

“Impossible, the Saints present are all fully activating their Magical Artifacts, their attention isn't on me at all. Moreover, the spatial fluctuations generated by attacking the barrier are so intense, an inconspicuous thing like an extra drop of vital blood in the Void Realm should be undetectable to anyone...”

Si Guoyi was puzzled.

He couldn’t understand why two consecutive drops of vital blood he released had mysteriously disappeared mid-way.

Crack crack~

As Si Guoyi was still wondering, near the spatial node on the barrier that was being attacked, spatial fragments had already begun to peel off, becoming precarious.

It was clearly on the verge of collapsing.

“No, I must get the vital blood into Night Shadow’s body before the barrier is breached!”

Although Si Guoyi didn’t know where the two drops of vital blood had gone, time waited for no one.

The current situation no longer allowed him to ponder much.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

This time, he hardened his heart and extracted ten drops of vital blood from his body, sending them darting towards Night Shadow from ten different directions.

“I refuse to believe that anyone has the ability to intercept vital blood from ten directions simultaneously!”

Si Guoyi was full of confidence.

This time, seeing the ten drops of vital blood about to enter Night Shadow’s body from different angles, Si Guoyi let out a soft sigh of relief.

However, before he could fully relax.

Suddenly, those ten drops of vital blood almost simultaneously vanished from his perception.

“How is this possible!? Who is targeting me!?”

Looking at the ten drops of vital blood that had mysteriously disappeared again, Si Guoyi was genuinely starting to panic.

One drop, two drops could be an accident.

But ten drops of vital blood disappearing at the same time, someone must be deliberately making things difficult for him!

“Bastard! Who is deliberately messing with me!”

If he wasn’t afraid of exposing his identity, Si Guoyi would have already exploded in rage.

Vital blood was different from ordinary blood; extracting each drop required a significant amount of his own Qi and blood.

He had just sent out over ten drops of vital blood in one go, causing his face to turn pale and a few drops of cold sweat to appear on his forehead.

“For most of the day, you’ve been standing still, face pale and sweating. Dude, are you kidney deficient?”

Just as Si Guoyi was fuming, Lin Yang’s teasing voice echoed in his ear.

This was a secret voice transmission.

“You’re the one who’s kidney deficient!”

Si Guoyi glared back, his eyes narrowing like a venomous snake as he stared at Lin Yang, muttering inwardly.

“Could it be... the disappearance of those vital blood drops earlier is related to this kid?”

After pondering for a moment, Si Guoyi shook his head again.

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Lin Yang, a mere one-star Martial Venerable, even if he had immense abilities, how could he, right under his nose, make all the vital blood disappear without him noticing?

This guy was probably just looking for trouble, seeing his pale face and sweat, and deliberately trying to win a verbal battle.

[Gained Si Guoyi's hostility, plundered Luck points +20]

[Plundered Luck points +25]

[Plundered Luck points +30]

Feeling the continuous increase in Luck points within his body, Lin Yang couldn’t help but curve his lips into a smile.

This plundering function was really useful.

As long as he kept provoking his enemies, making them generate negative emotions towards him, he could continuously plunder Luck points.

Before coming here, he only had less than two thousand Luck points in his hand.

But in less than an incense stick’s time after arriving outside the Demon Immortal Tomb, his Luck points had already increased to a full three thousand points!

However, on the other hand, Si Guoyi’s analysis was actually not wrong.

Lin Yang indeed didn’t have the ability to intercept the vital blood transmission of a two-star Martial Saint under everyone’s watchful eyes.

But he had little Ai Li, who was invisibly following him.

When Lin Yang learned that Si Guoyi was also a Clone of Holy Son Ye Chen, he had secretly told little Ai Li to keep an eye on him.

As expected, just as he had anticipated, this Si Guoyi started playing tricks when no one was paying attention.

At this moment, little Ai Li joyfully placed all the vital blood she had captured from the Void Realm into a small bottle.

As she put them in, she mumbled, “Daddy, you can’t go back on your word. Later, one drop of vital blood for one bag of melon seeds!”

This was what Lin Yang had just promised, asking Ai Li to collect all the vital blood that Si Guoyi had secretly released, and hand it to him when no one was around.

One must know, this was Saint vital blood, containing incredibly pure energy.

Normally, it was extremely difficult to obtain even a single drop.

After all, what Saint would willingly give their vital blood to others?

But now, this Si Guoyi, he was a good person!

He was giving away vital blood without caring for his life.

“Damn it, whether it’s related to this Lin Yang or not, I can’t wait any longer!”

Just then, Si Guoyi glanced at the barrier in the distance, which was gradually cracking, his heart growing increasingly anxious.

Swoosh!

This time, he was even harsher on himself.

He directly forced out thirty drops of vital blood in one go!

“This time, I refuse to believe you can still...”

Si Guoyi’s face suddenly turned pale, but a ferocious bloodshot gleam appeared in his eyes.

“Ah! Holy crap!”

Si Guoyi’s eyelids twitched slightly. He couldn’t believe it.

Thirty drops of vital blood shot out together, yet the other party managed to intercept every single one without leaving a single drop.

“Great, thirty more bags of melon seeds, hee hee~”

At the same time, little Ai Li, with a beaming smile, began to bottle them.

“Fifty drops!”

“One hundred drops!”

“Two hundred drops!”

“I’ll fight you to the death!”

Immediately after, Si Guoyi began to frantically unleash his vital blood, attempting to win by sheer quantity.

But no matter how much vital blood he released, it would always be intercepted by a mysterious force just as it was about to enter Night Shadow’s body, leaving nothing behind.

It wasn’t until Ai Li had filled an entire bottle and was momentarily distracted getting a new one, that one drop of Si Guoyi’s vital blood luckily escaped and entered Night Shadow’s body.

By then, Si Guoyi had already released no less than five hundred drops of vital blood.

At this moment, Si Guoyi’s face was ashen. Due to the excessive loss of vital blood, his legs were trembling slightly, making him look like a listless, weak-legged shrimp.

But at the moment the vital blood entered Night Shadow’s body, Si Guoyi finally sensed the connection between himself and Night Shadow.

At this moment, he was so excited he wanted to cry.

Thankfully, the last drop made it in.

Otherwise, he really didn’t know what he would do next.

Because, at this point.

He truly had not a single drop left.
