125: Current situation of Blood Refining Valley

There were others who were very arrogant, riding a massive multi-storied boat.

Inside the boat, several songstresses danced gracefully, while outside, several handmaidens flew alongside, scattering flowers as they traveled.

Gu Changan nearly laughed out loud. Which second-generation heir was this?

He instantly thought of that figure from his past life, something like the Master of Heaven, with boundless magic power!

Gu Changan didn't want to cause trouble, so he kept his distance.

However, as he drew closer to Blood Refining Valley, the scene he saw was truly shocking.

Calling it Blood Refining Valley from afar was less accurate than calling it a large canyon, or perhaps a large basin would be more appropriate!

Because the entire Blood Refining Valley was surrounded by high cliffs, with a massive basin in the center.

There were four passages in the basin leading to the outside.

These four passages were distributed in four directions.

In the middle of the basin stood a huge city, which looked like it should be called Blood Refining City!

Blood Refining City had four gates on its perimeter, corresponding to the four passages!

The entire city wall was exceptionally tall, probably twenty or thirty zhang high!

Throughout his journey, he had never seen such a massive structure.

Gu Changan thought of Blood Dragon City; there was a treasure qi spring eye underground there. He wondered what was here.

Looking at the environmental layout, was it possible that these Evil Path Cultivators had originally built the city here for concealment?

Later, after they grew stronger and became fearless, they built it into a city?

Gu Changan followed the flow of people into the city; the inside was truly bustling.

The moment Gu Changan entered, a wisp of his essence blood was drawn out from his body out of thin air and vanished.

It eventually flowed into the Great Formation underground.

If Gu Changan were here, he would surely discover that the eye of the Great Formation was actually another treasure qi spring eye!

The Blood Fiend Alliance used the essence blood of Cultivators to secretly irrigate the treasure qi spring eye, a fact known only to a very small number of high-ranking members!

Gu Changan only felt as if something was missing from his body.

Because he often practiced body tempering, his essence blood was quite abundant.

Therefore, it had no effect on him at all!

Gu Changan began to observe the environment in the city; it was on par with the Tianji City of the Tianji Pavilion!

However, the public order wasn't as good as there; Foundation Establishment Cultivators were everywhere, and occasionally he could see Golden Core Cultivators using their pressure to bully others.

Gu Changan put away his curiosity and looked straight ahead, using only his peripheral vision and Divine Sense to observe everything around him.

He found a seemingly large restaurant, which was indeed crowded.

Gu Changan had no choice but to share a table with others.

As soon as he sat down, he heard people around him talking loudly.

Passerby A: "It's said that Blood Crow Daoist has also died!"

"Fierce Blood Heaven has defected!"

"There are only three people left competing for the Saint position!"

"Tell me, who do you favor?"

Gu Changan also pricked up his ears to see what everyone thought.

Passerby B: "Does it matter who we favor?"

"I'll ask you one question!"

"Do you think these high-ranking members will let a True Disciple from the Ghost Path or the Corpse Path become the Saint?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people present fell silent!

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense!

Blood Path Cultivators made up seventy percent of the Blood Fiend Alliance, while Ghost Path and Corpse Path Cultivators made up thirty percent!

If the other two paths won the title of Saint, the Blood Path Cultivators would definitely be dissatisfied!

Passerby A said weakly: "In that case, isn't Night Without Blame of the Blood Path a shoo-in for Saint?"

"Who would even come to compete with him?"

Passerby C slammed his wine bowl onto the table with a bang.

"There's no justice!" He was a bit angry, then his eyes darted around.

"Do you know where they are taking bets in the city?"

"I'm going to place a bet!"

"Isn't this a guaranteed profit?"

As soon as this was said, the people present started discussing it again.

This seemed to be a way to make money!

However, it was said that only the Treasure Pavilion was taking bets on this Saint selection!

No other small merchants dared to do such business.

Furthermore, some Elders of the Blood Fiend Alliance were running the gambling house!

Gu Changan shook his head; he didn't dare to participate in such betting.

If he won too much, he would easily be exposed; if he won too little, it wouldn't be worth it!

He possessed the treasure gathering basin, so he didn't have to worry about Spirit Stones at all!

However, regarding what they said about the Blood Path, Ghost Path, and Corpse Path not getting along, could he take advantage of this?

For example, kill Ghost Without Way of the Ghost Path, then frame Night Without Blame of the Blood Path?

Or kill Daoist Xue Feiyu, and everyone would think Night Without Blame of the Blood Path did it?

Night Without Blame of the Blood Path was the strongest and also the most dangerous.

He didn't know what life-saving means he possessed!

If he could be killed, the Blood Fiend Alliance would be thrown into chaos!

Gu Changan thought about it and decided not to act, but he could play both sides!

He was currently lacking a Magical Artifact or Magic Treasure for Soul defense!

He was also missing a sealing Cultivation Technique!

He was already at the 7th level of Foundation Establishment, and in a while, he would be at the Foundation Establishment Peak.

He needed to start preparing items for forming a Golden Core, for instance, a core formation pill?

Or Materials for the core formation pill?

He could find an Alchemist later, or if he had Materials, he could probably exchange them at the Treasure Pavilion!

Later, he could go to the Treasure Pavilion to see if there were any sealing Cultivation Techniques; as for the other two items, he guessed they wouldn't be for sale!

If not, he would have to find a way from these three True Disciples.

After all, once they obtained the position of Saint, they could choose three items from the treasure vault.

He also had room to maneuver!

Gu Changan's thoughts drifted far away, while the people present were discussing the situation of the three True Disciples.

Among them, Night Without Blame of the Blood Path was holding down the fort in Blood Refining Valley, as if waiting for the other two to arrive.

As for the other two True Disciples, there was currently no news.

He didn't know if they had already arrived at Blood Refining Valley but hadn't shown themselves?

Or if they hadn't come at all!

Through the Soul search of Blood Crow Daoist, Gu Changan learned that the Saint selection was also based on personal strength!

To avoid internal attrition, the Blood Fiend Alliance organized a tournament.

The time was probably about seven days later.

Gu Changan estimated that the other two True Disciples should have arrived, just not yet shown themselves!

Gu Changan was still thinking about countermeasures!

Night Without Blame of the Blood Path was likely a shoo-in, and he himself probably knew it!

Not only was his combat power strong, but he was also ranked first among the favorites for the Saint selection!

This couldn't be faked; everyone knew it in their hearts!

What Gu Changan was struggling with was how to make contact with him?

It was impossible to just run up and say, "I'm here to make a deal with you!"

What did he have that the other party needed?

In all likelihood, nothing!

Then help the other party kill someone?

He probably didn't need that either!

Then, for now, give up on Night Without Blame of the Blood Path!

Wait until he thought of a way later!

He could try to contact Ghost Without Way of the Ghost Path; this guy was ranked third.

He had no chance at the Saint position, but if Gu Changan manipulated him, he might be able to get some benefits!

For example, help him kill Night Without Blame of the Blood Path!

He should be very willing to hire him.

After all, whether he could kill him or not!

Both could create trouble for Night Without Blame of the Blood Path!

He just didn't know what benefits he could trick out of him.
