Boom... boom...

There was thunder and lightning, and heavy rain poured down.

One autumn rain and another cold, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, the rain is continuous and the humidity is unbearable.

In the imperial palace of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, there was a remote house. There were guards guarding the door at all times. It seemed that there was some important person in the house.

A young eunuch carrying a basket came from a distance. When he came closer, the guards looked at him and let him go silently.

The little eunuch entered the house and found a man sitting on the bed, looking out the window, his eyes dull.

"Your Highness, your dinner is ready."

The little eunuch opened the cloth on the basket, took out three dishes and a bowl of steaming rice, and placed them on the table.

The man who was called His Highness came back to his senses, looked away from the window, and said "Oh."

He got out of bed and came to the table, picked up the kuaizi and started eating.

The little eunuch stood aside and waited silently, looking at the somewhat unkempt man and feeling silently in his heart.

Who could have thought that the prince who was so high-spirited before would be reduced to this state today?

This man was Zhou Chong, who was once favored by the emperor and selected as the prince. However, after the incident between Fu Chengyang and his mother Yu Guifei was exposed, his position as prince naturally disappeared without a trace.

When the imperial court fled south, Zhou Chong, as the prince, still had his place on the ship. He was lucky enough to follow him to Jiangnan.

But this luck only allowed him to save his life. After arriving in Jiangnan, the situation had just stabilized, and Zhou Cheng put him under house arrest.

Zhou Chong knew that he was doomed. The ministers who originally supported him had betrayed him long ago, and his mother-in-law's family, the Gongsun family, had suffered heavy casualties in the chaos in the capital.

As of now, he is a deposed prince. If Zhou Cheng wants to kill him, it is just a matter of words. If he doesn't kill him now, I'm afraid he just thinks it doesn't matter.

Zhou Chong was initially angry, desperate, and even thought about hanging himself. But as time passed, he gradually came to realize that it was not bad to live like this.

Although I can't go out usually, at least I have food to eat every day, a bed to sleep on, and no need to work.

If there was anything that bothered him, it was that he had no way of knowing what was happening in the outside world day after day in this house.

What's going on with Su Yuan in Bei'an? What's going on with Southern Zhou? Has there been any more troops? Does Zhou Cheng have any intention of fighting back to Jiangbei?

Zhou Chong didn't know about these.

He finished his meal in silence, and the little eunuch immediately put all the plates into the basket.

Zhou Chong once tried to ask the young eunuch what was going on outside, but the latter was so frightened that he ran away, fearing that he would get into trouble.

Zhou Chong was also helpless. If he had some gold and silver around, he could bribe him. But there was nothing around him, so the little eunuch naturally wouldn't say another word to him.

"Your Highness, this servant will leave."

The little eunuch put it away and turned around to leave. Unexpectedly, he bumped into someone coming in from the outside.

That's a young man.

The little eunuch was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he saw a stranger when he came to deliver meals so many times.

The young man smiled at him, and the little eunuch quickly lowered his head.

Although he didn't know who this person was, he must be a big shot that he couldn't afford to come in here - it was raining so hard, and this person didn't even get wet at all, how scary it was!

The little eunuch left and after walking out of the house, he saw the guards at the door with their eyes straight and motionless.

This made him very scared, and he quickly walked a few steps. However, these few steps gave him a sharp pain in his chest, and he fell to the ground with a thud. He twitched a few times and stopped moving.

The young man entered the room.

Zhou Chong heard the footsteps and looked up, stunned for a moment.

"Don't remember me?" Jiayi said with a smile. He sat down casually at the table and looked around the room.

"This environment is really not good."

"You, you are..."

Zhou Chong was a little confused at first, but after looking at Jia Yi for a while, he gradually remembered something.

He must have met Jiayi before, and knew that this man had some relationship with Fu Chengyang.

But no matter who this person is, coming here suddenly now is definitely not good.

Zhou Chong guessed: "You were sent by Zhou Cheng to kill me."

Person A said, "I only guessed half of it right."

Zhou Chong was stunned for a moment: "Instead of killing me, are you letting me go?"

Jiayi shook his head: "It is true that I will kill you. But Zhou Cheng did not send me here."

"..."

Zhou Chong's expression was dazed for a moment, and then he suddenly stood up. The movement was too large, knocking over the chair and making a crisp "kaka" sound.

Even under house arrest, Zhou Chong still didn't want to die. This is human instinct. What's more, he was still young and still had expectations for the future in his heart.

He often stared out the window, just thinking, what would happen if he had a chance to be free in the future?

But now this hope seems to be gone...

He stared at Jiayi and suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Come here!

!”

What Zhou Chong called was the guard at the gate of the house, but he didn't get any response. All he could hear was the sound of rain.

He gritted his teeth, bent down and picked up the stool on the ground, and glared at Jiayi fiercely: "You want to kill me! I will fight you to the death!"

"

Jiayi was still sitting and sighed softly: "Why bother? What's wrong with accepting death peacefully? What's more..."

He paused, with a strange smile on his face.

"Besides, you will become a part of me and continue to live in my body."

These extremely weird words made Zhou Chong's hair stand on end. He was so frightened that he finally burst out, roaring and throwing the stool at Jiayi.

"go to hell!

!”

…

Only people with the same bloodline can be used as materials...

After hearing Tang Ziyu's description, Su Yuan felt horrified and disgusted at the same time.

Is there such a secret technique in the world? Who is this crazy person who used his relatives to practice martial arts and researched this technique?

Only then did he understand why Tang Ziyu said before that it wouldn't take more than a few times. This was for sure. How many blood relatives could a person have? If they had all been killed in the blood refining process, how many times could they be refining?

Unless you are living while...

Su Yuan felt queasy and sick just thinking about it.

"If Jiayi is doing it for this skill, then..."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Tang Ziyu's face was also very pale, and he obviously felt disgusted inside.

But this matter still makes Su Yuan have doubts.

"Your Tang Sect's secret blood refining method... is there any difference compared to the conventional blood refining method I mentioned earlier? Will the effect be better?"

Tang Ziyu nodded with difficulty: "That's for sure. It's not easy for people of the same bloodline to conflict. Using the blood of unrelated people for refining may enhance one's skill, but it will also leave sequelae to the body."

Su Yuan looked surprised when he heard this.

This is a bit like a blood transfusion. The probability of having the same blood type among relatives is definitely greater. However, different blood types from strangers, when input into the body, will cause rejection and other phenomena...

There must be a similar concept in martial arts. From this point of view, while the strength of Jiayi, an unrelated person who had gone through blood training before, also increased, it also caused many hidden diseases to the body.

Now he is trying to obtain Tang Sect's "blood refining method". Either the previous method has reached the "limit" and the effect will not be good if it is used again. Or he has accumulated too many hidden diseases and his body will not be able to bear it if he uses it again.

For this reason, we can only go one step further and start refining it with blood relatives...

Su Yuan cursed in his heart, Jiayi's relatives had suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck, and met such a beast who didn't recognize his relatives.

The two of them were relatively speechless for a while. What Jia Yi did made them both feel strongly uncomfortable, and they didn't know what to say.

After a moment, Su Yuan broke the silence.

"Miss Tang, you must want revenge."

"Of course!" When it came to revenge, Tang Ziyu's eyes were extremely sharp, "I want Tang Lin, his minions, and that Jia Yi to pay with their blood for the blood debts of grandpa, elders, and disciples!"

Su Yuan nodded: "That's right. But you can't do this alone. Even if you have the peacock feather, your grandfather can't use it to kill Jiayi, and neither can you."

Tang Ziyu bit her lip, knowing that Su Yuan was right.

"But I will help you." Su Yuan continued, "To be precise, we help each other. Jiayi is also my enemy. The information you provide is very useful. In return, I will also help you deal with Tang Lin.

.”

"...If you can help me, I'd be very grateful!" Tang Ziyu said solemnly. She didn't say anything stupid about "relying only on yourself".
