89: Feeding on blood, Long Zhan's willingness to sacrifice

Jiang Lin directly took out the Karma Fire Red Lotus Seed and threw it into the Nine Heavens Rest Soil.

Instantly, a bright yellow light erupted.

The lotus seed broke out of its shell, and tender leaves unfurled.

The leaves grew, supporting a dark red flower bud.

Seeing this, Jiang Lin directly took out the Star Plucking Ruler, cut open his chest, revealing a vibrant, beating heart.

Lin Qingxue immediately turned pale with fright: “Jiang Lin, what are you doing?”

Jiang Lin said firmly: “The Karma Fire Red Lotus carries the greatest sins and suffering in the world; only in a sea of blood can it give birth to endless vitality!”

“Therefore, I will use my own heart and blood to cultivate this Karma Fire Red Lotus!”

“In other words, I want it to merge with my heart!”

Without hesitation, Jiang Lin directly grabbed the budding Karma Fire Red Lotus and the Nine Heavens Rest Soil, and forcefully stuffed them into his heart.

Throughout the entire process, Jiang Lin's face was ashen, but his eyes were burning bright, and not a single groan escaped his lips.

The next moment, sensing the blood in Jiang Lin’s heart, the entire red lotus seemed to perceive the most exquisite delicacy in the human world, suddenly emitting a bright red light and frantically absorbing the fresh blood.

Blood flowed backward!

Jiang Lin's spirit began to gradually weaken at this moment.

“Jiang Lin, do you need my help to heal your injuries?”

Jiang Lin forced a smile and shook his head: “No, I can handle it!”

His body gradually thinned, but the light in his eyes became increasingly piercing.

“You like drinking blood?”

“Good, I’ll let you drink your fill!”

“Fire Phoenix Nirvana Art, accelerate my recovery!”

All the True Qi in his body continuously circulated the Fire Phoenix Nirvana Art.

One minute, one quarter of an hour, one hour...

Outside the inn, the entire Black Yuan City had slowly transformed into a City of Death Qi.

Xiao Dong had just escaped one wave of beast tide only to encounter the Fear Demon Tree head-on, completely falling into a bitter battle.

Nangong Lengyu, using a teleportation opportunity bought by her subordinates' lives, arrived at the Inner City, only to run into another wave of beast tide and become trapped within it.

Outside Black Yuan City, Liu Ziyang and the hidden Dragon General were secretly observing the movements of Black Yuan City, their nerves stretched to their breaking point.

At this moment, there was also a team moving in the shadows, constantly approaching Black Yuan City...

Meanwhile, in the Capital,

The first person to lose patience appeared.

In the East Palace, Long Zhan listened to the news from the Sima Family.

He was completely stunned.

A Body Integration Cultivator died?

Became nourishment for two Ancient Demons?!

Ancient Demons?

Where did these come from?

This has truly gotten out of hand!

If Liu Yaner and Liu Ziyuan died in Black Yuan City, he might truly be crippled!

Besides being crippled, his Bloodline might even be stripped away!

“No, the Liu Family siblings absolutely cannot die on Black Cloud Peak! Tell the Sima Family to send more people, Combined Peak ones!”

“We must contact the people on Black Cloud Peak and get them out!”

The attendant below hastily replied: “Your Highness, even Combined Peak Cultivators cannot fight those demons, and they won't be able to enter the Inner City even if they go!”

Long Zhan was already panicking, disregarding everything: “Then send those Mahayana and Undergoing Tribulation Cultivators hidden in the Secret Realm! Anyway, the Liu Family siblings cannot die!”

The attendant helplessly said: “Your Highness, it’s useless. Once they enter the Nine Provinces World, they will be directly annihilated. It’s completely useless!”

Long Zhan roared: “This won’t work, that won’t work, then you tell me what to do?!”

“If the Liu Family siblings die, none of us will have an easy time!”

The attendant gritted his teeth and said: “Your Highness, there is still one person who can be used!”

Long Zhan hurriedly walked to him, grabbing his collar and saying: “Quick, tell me!”

The attendant said: “Jiang Lin is still in Black Yuan City. He brought the Jiang Family Dead Warriors and has held on until now. According to what the Dragon Family Dark General said, the Inner City is still relatively stable. You can have him dispatch forces to rescue the Liu Family siblings!”

Long Zhan nodded repeatedly: “Right, how could I forget him?!”

“Quick, send him a letter!”

“Tell him to stop everything else and go save the Liu Family siblings first!”

The attendant did not move, still kneeling on the ground.

“Go do it! Are you going to kneel there and wait for death?!”

Long Zhan roared.

The attendant then spoke: “Your Highness, I’m afraid it’s not realistic. He won’t listen to you!”

Long Zhan quickly said: “Just say it’s the Crown Prince’s order!”

The attendant explained: “Jiang Lin is currently His Majesty’s special envoy, with an important secret mission. Your order cannot command him now!”

Long Zhan excitedly said: “Then give him benefits! Spirit Stones, Cultivation Techniques, weapons! As long as he asks, he can have as much as he wants!”

The attendant shook his head: “Your Highness, the Jiang Family started with commerce and has maintained the economy and logistics of the Nine Provinces for the past century. As the Young Lord of the Jiang Family, he doesn’t lack these things at all...”

Long Zhan’s face was ashen, and he said faintly: “I’ll give him the Four Directions Merchant Guild!”

Upon hearing this, the attendant took a deep breath, pulled out a Talisman, and sent out a message.

After a while, the Talisman glowed with a yellow light.

After reading the content, the attendant’s face immediately turned panicked.

Long Zhan’s face showed displeasure: “Why are you so flustered? Tell me directly what’s wrong!”

The attendant swallowed and said: “Your Highness, Jiang Lin doesn’t want your Four Directions Merchant Guild. He wants the Treasure Bag and the Purifying World… Sword!”

“He said that as long as you give him these two items, the Liu Family siblings will definitely not die!”

Crack!

The thousand-year-old spiritual wooden chair instantly shattered into pieces.

“This Jiang Lin truly has a huge appetite! Does he really think I have no way to deal with him?!”

The attendant bowed: “Your Highness, Liu Ziyuan’s life tablet only has a sliver of its integrity left, and Liu Yan’er’s has also shown signs of collapse!”

“Once they die, even if Liu Anren says nothing, His Majesty will use you and the Sima Family to appease the public!”

“Your Highness, as long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn!”

“We can win it back next time!”

Long Zhan’s eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, like a gambler who had lost his mind.

“Give… I’ll give…”

“Jiang Lin, let’s see how long you can live!”

......

Imperial Palace, Begonia Palace.

Jiang Zhiyi’s bracelet suddenly flashed with a gleam.

The next moment, she raised her head and coldly said to the maid beside her: “Send an urgent message to Qingling!”

“Have everyone collect Top-Grade Fire Spirit Stones for me!”

“I’ll trade Immortal Pills for them!”

“Also, if I find out anyone is secretly hoarding Top-Grade Fire Spirit Stones at this time, I will cut off all their Medicinal Pill supplies in the Nine Provinces World!”

“Open the Qingling channel and transmit the Spirit Stones to me now!”

Feeling Jiang Zhiyi’s extremely serious tone, the maid immediately stood up: “Yes, Young Miss!”

Jiang Zhiyi looked in the direction of Black Yuan City, her brows tightly furrowed.

Lin’er, please be careful!

In just a moment, crimson Spirit Stones were transmitted through a blue channel, one by one.

All were Top-Grade Fire Spirit Stones of excellent quality.

“Not enough, still not enough! I’m going to the Imperial Treasury now. You stay here and maintain the Qingling channel. If there are Top-Grade Spirit Stones, transmit them to me. Don’t be stingy with space-type Spirit Stones!”

“If they run out, I’ll find a way to accumulate them again!”
