151: Good steel should be used on the blade

Although the situation that arose during this Blood Sect Game was unexpected by everyone.

But since things have come to this point.

They couldn't change anything.

They all led the Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection cultivators under their respective factions back.

On Rapid Shadow Palace's side, with Cheng Tianhao and Xiao Shi successfully raising the Blood Beast to maturity, Rapid Shadow Palace directly obtained the right to purchase the Blood Beast.

However, regarding the purchase of the Blood Beast... they still needed to return and have the high-ranking officials of Rapid Shadow Palace make the decision.

No matter what, Rapid Shadow Palace was the biggest winner this time.

At this moment, Xiao Shi and the others, led by the Blood Martial Realm expert, boarded a flying boat and returned to Rapid Shadow Palace.

Under the script set by Liang Su.

Everyone's attention was focused entirely on Cheng Tianhao.

This allowed Xiao Shi to be successfully overlooked by the crowd.

In everyone's eyes, Xiao Shi's ability to raise the Blood Beast to maturity was entirely due to Cheng Tianhao's efforts.

It's no exaggeration to say.

This was Cheng Tianhao, with his own strength, raising two Blood Beasts to maturity simultaneously.

This also made the light surrounding Cheng Tianhao even more dazzling.

And with Cheng Tianhao's status as a Rapid Shadow Palace sequence disciple.

He was fully capable of bearing such brilliance.

Everything was proceeding according to the script set by Liang Su.

Xiao Shi continued to play an inconspicuous role.

He remained unknown.

He did not attract the attention or notice of others.

Soon.

When they returned to Rapid Shadow Palace.

They were immediately summoned by the high-ranking officials of Rapid Shadow Palace.

The one responsible for summoning them was an Elder of Rapid Shadow Palace.

In the power structure of Rapid Shadow Palace, apart from the Shadow Master, who held the highest authority and status, the Elders had the greatest power.

Rapid Shadow Palace had a total of five Elders.

Each was stationed in one of the five Shadow Cities.

Luo Jun, the white-haired old man who brought the Red Tiger Sect from Seven Stars Province to Tian Dou Province, was the Elder stationed in Sword Shadow City.

However, the one who summoned them now was not Luo Jun.

But the Grand Elder stationed in Wind Shadow City!

Among the five Shadow Cities of Rapid Shadow Palace.

Wind Shadow City was the true core city, surrounded by the other four Shadow Cities at its very center.

It represented its most important status.

At the same time, the Elder stationed in Wind Shadow City was also the head of the five Grand Elders.

When Xiao Shi and the others, led by the Blood Martial Realm expert, entered a grand and imposing hall, they all saw this Grand Elder of Rapid Shadow Palace.

The Grand Elder of Rapid Shadow Palace rarely appeared.

Even sequence disciples like Cheng Tianhao had never had the chance to meet this Grand Elder before.

They only knew that this Grand Elder not only possessed immense power in Rapid Shadow Palace, second only to the Shadow Master, but also had terrifying, world-shaking cultivation.

The moment they entered the main hall.

They immediately saw.

Sitting on a seat at the front of the hall was a woman dressed in white, but both sides of her entire body were surrounded by blurry phantoms, making it impossible to clearly see her exact appearance.

They could only make out her general figure and a head of white hair.

This feeling... was like seeing three or four overlapping images of a person sometimes when drunk.

Now, her body was covered in many overlapping images.

This caused Xiao Shi and the others' minds to feel a wave of dizziness.

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

Xiao Shi and the others endured the dizziness in their minds and bowed their heads.

"Well done."

A clear and pleasant voice.

Came from above.

Even before they returned, the Blood Martial Realm expert leading Xiao Shi and the others had already reported the intelligence of this mission to the sect in advance.

Originally, a bodyguard like Xiao Shi... would not have been qualified to meet the Grand Elder.

Now, they were all summoned by the Grand Elder together.

However, the Grand Elder merely glanced at Xiao Shi indifferently before focusing her gaze on Cheng Tianhao.

Her eyes were filled with admiration.

Her main purpose in summoning everyone this time.

Was to see Cheng Tianhao.

Before this.

The Grand Elder didn't know much about Cheng Tianhao.

She hadn't expected this newly promoted sequence disciple to have such extraordinary performance.

Now, Cheng Tianhao's position in her heart.

Even among all the sequence disciples, was enough to rank in the top three.

He would be a key cultivation target for their Rapid Shadow Palace.

Whoosh!

The Grand Elder gently waved her hand.

Immediately, several rays of light flashed in the air.

Then, in the hands of Xiao Shi, Meng Que, and others, appeared something like a diamond.

It emitted a dazzling glow.

It was very strange and extraordinary.

After Meng Que and the others saw the shining object in their hands.

Their eyes instantly brightened.

Although Xiao Shi didn't know what it was, the moment this shining object came into his hand, the Shadow Seed within him vibrated.

It felt an incredibly strong urgency.

This made Xiao Shi realize that this shining object was clearly a treasure that could enhance the Shadow Seed.

And its value was not low.

This was clearly the Grand Elder's reward for their actions this time.

"You may withdraw."

The Grand Elder waved her hand again.

A powerful force swept in from all directions, and Xiao Shi and the others' bodies uncontrollably retreated, directly exiting the hall.

Only Cheng Tianhao was left in the hall.

Clearly, the Grand Elder had other arrangements and rewards for Cheng Tianhao.

"I didn't expect the Grand Elder to be so generous, giving out Shadow Star Stones so casually!"

Meng Que and the others exclaimed excitedly.

Clearly, the value of these Shadow Star Stones was extremely high.

Even with their status in Rapid Shadow Palace, they couldn't obtain Shadow Star Stones.

The purpose of Shadow Star Stones was to enhance the Shadow Seed.

And it was a significant enhancement.

"Master, the quantity of these Shadow Star Stones is very small, so they are especially precious in our Rapid Shadow Palace. However, Master, don't rush to use them immediately. It's best to save them until the Shadow Seed is about to undergo transformation before using them."

Lin Ying whispered beside Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi nodded.

By now.

He already knew that when the Shadow Seed reached a certain stage, it would undergo a transformation.

This transformation was like a martial artist's breakthrough in each realm.

However, to undergo transformation, some special items were definitely needed.

This Shadow Star Stone was one of the more important special items.

Under normal circumstances.

Obtaining Shadow Star Stones in Rapid Shadow Palace was an extremely difficult task.

This time, the Grand Elder was quite generous to give them out directly.

This made them very pleasantly surprised.

And as the most eye-catching and dazzling Cheng Tianhao in this Blood Sect Game, the rewards he would receive would undoubtedly be even more astonishing than theirs.

Soon.

Xiao Shi and the others returned to Tree Shadow City.

And immediately upon returning.

Xiao Shi went directly into the Azure Calamity Ancient Tree, continuing to nourish the Crimson Tiger Totem through the crystal array inside the Azure Calamity Ancient Tree.

Afterward, he went to visit Cen Qingci and the others.

Now, under Cheng Tianhao's care, Cen Qingci and the others were living very comfortably in Tree Shadow City.

Their strength and cultivation were also continuously improving with the constant absorption of Spirit Tree Qi.

However, they were still some distance away from Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection.

After ensuring that Cen Qingci and the others were fine.

Xiao Shi began to ponder his breakthrough to the Blood Martial Realm.

He now possessed the Emperors Armor of the Qi Warrior Grade.

There was no need to remain in the Qi Martial Realm any longer.

He now urgently wanted to break through to the Blood Martial Realm.

However, regarding the breakthrough to the Blood Martial Realm, Xiao Shi only had a general idea and was not clear about the specific details.

He planned to learn more through Cheng Tianhao later.

However, he waited for three days in a row.

But Cheng Tianhao never came.

This made Xiao Shi frown.

He actively went to look for Cheng Tianhao, but couldn't find him.

Based on his understanding of Cheng Tianhao, he knew that Cheng Tianhao was not someone who would leave without an explanation.

Such a situation... must mean he didn't have time to explain to him.

Immediately, Xiao Shi went to find Meng Que and the others.

He asked them about Cheng Tianhao's situation.

Although Meng Que and the others also didn't know what had happened to Cheng Tianhao.

However, they all had a certain status in Rapid Shadow Palace.

They immediately began to inquire.

After their inquiries.

They quickly and truthfully informed Xiao Shi of the news they had gathered.

Due to Cheng Tianhao's immense contributions this time.

Rapid Shadow Palace decided to reward Cheng Tianhao by allowing him to enter the Land of Inheritance for an enlightenment session.

Such an opportunity... was extremely rare, even among the sequence disciples of Rapid Shadow Palace.

It could be said to be the goal and desire of many sequence disciples!

Cheng Tianhao had clearly been arranged to go to the Land of Inheritance immediately after meeting the Grand Elder, without time to explain to Xiao Shi.

Now that Cheng Tianhao wouldn't be able to come out of the Land of Inheritance for a while.

Xiao Shi could only ask Meng Que and the others to help him gather more information related to the Blood Martial Realm.

At the same time.

Xiao Shi and their performance in the Blood Sect Game also gradually spread throughout Rapid Shadow Palace.

This caused an extremely huge sensation within Rapid Shadow Palace.

No one had expected... that Cheng Tianhao, who had just been promoted to a sequence disciple, would be so fierce!

At the same time, Rapid Shadow Palace's acquisition of the Blood Beast purchase right also caused many Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection cultivators within Rapid Shadow Palace to feel excited and thrilled.

After all, the Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection cultivators arranged by Rapid Shadow Palace to participate in the Blood Sect Game were only a portion of the sect's members.

Not all of them.

If these Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection cultivators were still alive.

Then even if the sect purchased Blood Beasts, it would definitely not be the turn of the current Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection cultivators.

After all, the Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection cultivators who participated in the Blood Sect Game were the elite among the Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection cultivators.

They already had priority.

But now, these Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection cultivators had suffered heavy casualties.

This gave other Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection cultivators hope.

Originally, their fate... was only to break through to the Blood Martial Realm with Mortal Blood.

Now, after seeing the hope of breaking through with True Blood, their hearts were all filled with a frenzy.

At the same time.

All the sequence disciples of Rapid Shadow Palace also paid attention to this matter.

These sequence disciples were divided into five factions in total.

When Cheng Tianhao and the others competed for sequence status, they had the support of various different factions behind them.

When these factions learned about the Blood Sect Game.

The faction to which Cheng Tianhao belonged was the most excited.

Cheng Tianhao's rise.

Would also boost their faction.

Especially considering Cheng Tianhao's fierce performance in this Blood Sect Game, it was definitely enough to make their faction superior to the other factions.

However, they also realized something.

That was, there was more than one Blood Beast brought back from this Blood Sect Game.

Among them, Cheng Tianhao's Blood Beast naturally belonged to him, which was beyond doubt.

But the other Blood Beast... in the eyes of these sequence disciples, would not be the bodyguard's, Cheng Tianhao's.

"As far as I know, the Blood Beast of Cheng Tianhao's bodyguard was also raised to maturity with Cheng Tianhao's assistance, so this Blood Beast also belongs to Cheng Tianhao."

"And since Cheng Tianhao is a member of our faction and is currently absent, we have the right to keep his belongings for him."

"Instead of wasting the Blood Source of a Blood Beast on a mediocre bodyguard, it's better to use it on a more suitable person."

Several sequence disciples from the faction behind Cheng Tianhao, in their discussions, decided the ownership of Xiao Shi's Blood Beast.

On one hand, they worried that other factions would covet that Blood Beast.

After all, Cheng Tianhao had now entered the Land of Inheritance.

If other factions were to snatch Xiao Shi's Blood Beast at this time.

Cheng Tianhao wouldn't be able to stop them.

By the time Cheng Tianhao came out, if the Blood Source of that Blood Beast had already been extracted, he would be helpless.

Although with Cheng Tianhao's current brilliance.

The sect would definitely show him some favoritism.

His status within Rapid Shadow Palace would also improve.

But the sect would not allow him to kill a Blood Martial Realm cultivator with True Blood.

In other words.

As long as they seized this Blood Beast and extracted its Blood Source, Cheng Tianhao wouldn't be able to do anything when he returned.

On the other hand.

The sequence disciples of Cheng Tianhao's faction also wanted to use Xiao Shi's Blood Beast to further strengthen their faction.

Although they could also recruit Xiao Shi.

But they looked down on Xiao Shi somewhat.

They felt that Xiao Shi was just an ordinary bodyguard.

He was only able to raise a mature Blood Beast thanks to Cheng Tianhao.

They believed that if the Blood Source of this Blood Beast were used on other people, the effect would definitely be far better than using it on Xiao Shi.

As long as they used the Blood Source of this Blood Beast.

To make other Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection cultivators in their faction become True Blood Blood Martial Realm cultivators in one fell swoop, then the strength and status of their faction would be even greater.

They would also stand more firmly in Rapid Shadow Palace.

Thinking of this.

These sequence disciples immediately made a decision.

"Then, I shall go and retrieve our Blood Beast."

One of the sequence disciples volunteered.

At the same time.

The other several factions also simultaneously set their sights on Xiao Shi's Blood Beast.

If Cheng Tianhao were still here, they would certainly not dare to snatch it.

But now that Cheng Tianhao had entered the Land of Inheritance and wouldn't be out for a while, this gave them an opportunity.

And neither Cheng Tianhao's faction nor the other factions paid any attention to Xiao Shi, the bodyguard.

As for the other high-ranking officials of Rapid Shadow Palace.

They did not interfere with this either.

In fact, when Cheng Tianhao and the others returned, many high-ranking officials had similar thoughts to these sequence disciples.

They mused that good steel should be used on the edge of a blade.

Instead of using such precious True Blood on an ordinary bodyguard.

It would be better to give it to those excellent Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection cultivators.

It was just that due to Cheng Tianhao's current merits and brilliance, they did not speak out.
