Chapter 463 - Chapter 463: Chapter 160: Shopkeeper Shen Enters the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm (2/2)

“you mustn’t…”

“…you can’t kill me, i know the way out.”

upon hearing shopkeeper shen say this, the others surrounding him also hastily pleaded,

“xu daoyou…”

“please show mercy, spare his life for now and see what he has to say?”

it seemed that these people likely knew xu ye as well.

xu ye looked up at that moment, fixing his gaze on the one who had just spoken, saying,

“fine…”

“let’s listen to what wu daoyou suggests.”

and then, the cultivator surnamed wu also spoke up, saying,

“xu daoyou, your cultivation is profound, and shortly, we might need xu daoyou’s assistance to interrogate these few individuals.”

hearing the words of the cultivator surnamed wu, xu ye felt puzzled and thus asked,

“wu daoyou, what do you mean by ‘these few individuals’?”

the cultivator surnamed wu replied,

“referring to shopkeeper shen and his accomplices, who were also teleported here earlier…”

just as the cultivator surnamed wu finished speaking, a violent surge of magical power suddenly erupted from the direction of the sea of blood beach.

lin jing, xu ye, and the other cultivators quickly turned their heads to look in the direction of the intense fluctuation.

they saw in the skies above the distant sea of blood beach, a fire dragon formed out of condensed spiritual power had appeared out of nowhere.

clearly, someone had unleashed a high-powered spell.

using a high-powered spell within the devouring spirit blood realm would undoubtedly attract the blood corpses, and that spellcaster would surely be doomed to death.

at this moment, even shopkeeper shen’s complexion turned ashen as he looked toward the massive fire dragon made of spiritual power.

then, xu ye turned back and asked the cultivator surnamed wu,

“do you have people pursuing shopkeeper shen’s accomplices?”

the cultivator surnamed wu nodded and responded,

“yes…”

after speaking, he looked towards the great fire dragon and added,

“however, considering the situation…”

“things over there look grim; it might involve quite a few of our fellow cultivators.”

xu ye looked at the fire dragon and nodded as well.

then, xu ye formed a hand seal, and at once, a red light appeared in his hand which he then shot directly into shopkeeper shen’s body.

afterward, xu ye said to the cultivator surnamed wu,

“i have placed a restriction within him. wait here for a moment. i will go over there and see what’s happening.”

the cultivator surnamed wu nodded and said,

“alright…”

“thank you for this, xu daoyou.”

xu ye nodded, and then said to lin jing,

“lin daoyou, please wait here for a bit. i will be back shortly.”

lin jing nodded and replied,

“okay…”

as soon as lin jing finished speaking, xu ye had already flown away.

…

…

xu ye didn’t take long to return, and when he did, he was followed by a formidable procession of several dozen people.

among them, two were bound by a special magical treasure.

seeing xu ye’s return, the cultivator surnamed wu, along with a few people, and still holding shopkeeper shen, walked towards xu ye.

soon, both parties gathered together.

then, from the crowd opposite them, the two bound individuals were brought into the middle and placed next to shopkeeper shen.

at that time, xu ye asked,

“out with it, who are you serving…”

“and also, how exactly can we get out of here?”

shopkeeper shen and his accomplices, under the angry gaze of the crowd, couldn’t help feeling a little guilty.

after all, many here had been deceived by them or forcibly brought here.

however, shopkeeper shen had never imagined there would come a day when he himself would be brought into the devouring spirit blood realm.

amidst the furious glares of the crowd, shopkeeper shen said,

“actually, we were acting on behalf of master ling yi.”

“master ling yi instructed us to deceive you all into coming here.”

“as for the person behind master ling yi, i do not know, nor have i ever seen them…”

…

…

with shopkeeper shen’s confession, everyone finally understood.

it turned out master ling yi had found shopkeeper shen and several others, instructing them to deceive many cultivators into coming to the devouring spirit blood realm through the guise of a trade meeting.

if they could bring the number up to a thousand cultivators, master ling yi would grant them the method to advance to the nascent soul stage, allowing them all to reach the nascent soul stage.

actually.

why specifically they had to bring people into the devouring spirit blood realm, they weren’t very sure.

they thought everything would go smoothly.

what they didn’t anticipate was being tricked by master ling yi, who sent them here as well.

that was the reason they appeared in this place.

at that moment, xu ye suddenly spoke up, asking the cultivator surnamed wu,

“how many people did they teleport in this time?”

the cultivator surnamed wu replied,

“nineteen…”

“they teleported in nineteen people this time.”

“nineteen…” xu ye murmured.

“one short.”

then, xu ye questioned shopkeeper shen once more,

“how exactly can we get out of the devouring spirit blood realm?”

facing the furious crowd, shopkeeper shen dared not delay, quickly explaining,

“within the devouring spirit blood realm, only by invoking the heavenly tribulation can we break out of the realm and leave.”

xu ye’s brow furrowed, and he stared coldly at shopkeeper shen, saying,

“tell me something i don’t know…”

shopkeeper shen then said,

“the devouring spirit blood realm is located at the entrance of an ancient ruin.”

“we cannot use a teleportation array to leave from within the realm, but outside of the devouring spirit blood realm, there’s a special teleportation array that allows departure…”
