“Palace Head Chen, did the commander of the Bloodshed Tavern team approach you? Did you send any Deity-grade scrolls over?” Xue Ying also became excited upon hearing these news. He was naturally willing to follow a team if given the opportunity. After all, these teams had incredible combat power and their comprehensions of the realms were also deep. Furthermore, each member had a Deity weapon and many other treasures prepared for this venture into the Crimson Rock Mountain.
As for him?
In truth, he didn’t own any weapons and had to depend on his own combat power. His most precious treasures he had returned to the Xia Clan! He was also alone, and despite his confidence, the difficulty would have increased to about ten times the normal if he was to enter by himself.
“Rest assured. I would have never sent any Deity-grade scrolls over; I do not even have the authority to do so,” Palace Head Chen transmitted back. “It was the commander of the Bloodshed Tavern team himself who took the initiative to mention this matter!”
“I’ll have to go visit them.” Xue Ying’s heart was filled with gratitude.
…
The headquarters of the Bloodshed Tavern was situated in an ordinary-looking county. The incredibly large tavern spanned over an area of almost a kilometer, and was bustling with activity.
A large number of courtyards could be found behind the tavern, and it was in one of these courtyards that the team of Demigods from the Deity world was located.
“Manor Master, that Dong Bo Xue Ying is merely a Saint Transcendent. He’s been afflicted with the Six Ghosts Resentment hexing poison, and he’s certainly isn’t the strongest person in this mortal world. Won’t he just be in the way if we take him along to the Crimson Rock Mountain?” An old man with a goatee was harping on this issue. He was slovenly both in manner and dressing. Sitting cross-legged beside him was a bald old man garbed in yellow robes.
The bald man nodded, “This old thief’s words make sense. Manor Master, you’ve paid a huge price to come here, and we’re all betting our lives in this gamble. We don’t need this Dong Bo Xue Ying’s aid, and if the time comes when he’ll instead hinder us, we’ll fall into a terrible position.”
It was important to choose fitting team members. This was exactly the reason why the Temple of the Earth God’s team dared to request so much. Any ordinary team would not have been willing to bring along a hindrance, since the team would be doomed if that person was to drag them back during the most crucial of moments.
“Old thief, Uncle Fu, I’ve previously looked into it. Dong Bo Xue Ying has grasped hold of either the True Meaning of Mirage or the True Meaning of Shadow Space. He won’t bring about any big trouble.” The person saying these words was a middle-aged man in green robes.
This middle-aged man had an extraordinary temperament. He held back his aura to the point where no waves of suppression were released at all.
Even so, he was the commander of the team.
The Bloodshed Tavern… belonged to one of the three superpowers of the Deity World, the Bloodshed God Palace. Any of those powerful existences could easily discover many powerful Demigods, so him choosing this team out of so many possible naturally meant it was extraordinary.
“He won’t cause any trouble, but he won’t be of any help either. In terms of scouting ability, I’ve long since condensed a True Deity Heart for my True Meaning of Illusion. How much more formidable is it when compared to that brat’s True Meaning of Mirage in which he can only have a shallow comprehension?” the old man with a goatee said, wide-eyed. The True Meaning of Illusion was only a grade three True Meaning, while the True Meaning of Mirage was a grade two True Meaning. Even so, it was impossible for it to withstand it when the other party’s comprehension already reached the level of being able to condense a True Deity Heart.
The green-robed teenager said, “That’s enough, you two. Stop your grumbling. Dong Bo Xue Ying has arrived. Let’s take a look at this brat who will be our future comrade, whose life and death will be intertwined with ours.”
The old man with a goatee and the bald old man with yellow robes felt helpless.
They could not change the determination of their Manor Master!
Very soon—
Zhi ya, the doors opened.
A white-robed teenager with a slightly sick appearance walked through. Transcendents would usually have bright complexions, yet Xue Ying’s was naturally rather pale due to all the torture inflicted by the hexing poison.
“Hexing poison…” The green-robed middle-aged man was looking in Xue Ying’s direction who had just walked in, but his thoughts were with his wife. He married her after he became a Transcendent. She had lived under the torture of a hexing poison for 30 years, and she accompanied him for all those years until she finally died. He could never forget that pain for the rest of his life. After coming to know about Xue Ying’s circumstances, he naturally arrived at his decision.
This young man could withstand the Six Ghosts Resentment hexing poison for a hundred years. He did not look simple at all.
“Dong Bo Xue Ying, am I right?” The green-robed middle-aged man smiled. “I am Chen Jiu! We will be comrades in the future!”
“Greetings, Brother Chen Jiu.” Xue Ying gave a slight bow as a show of respect.
During this first meeting…
