In an underground palace thousands of miles away from Youzhou.
Ji Hongzheng was accompanied by a middle-aged man in a blood robe who sat cross-legged in front of the huge stone statue.
It's just that his expression is slightly impatient.
Perhaps sensing the impatience of Ji Hong next to him, the middle-aged man in blood robe slowly spoke.
"Ji Hong, when facing Lord Blood God, you must calm down, otherwise, you will not be able to listen to Lord Blood God's teachings."
Ji Hong paused for a moment, followed the example of the middle-aged man in blood-robed robes, clasping his palms together, exhaling softly in front of the statue, closing his eyes, and silently running the technique.
Like an ancient god whispering in his ear, a bloody statue quickly appeared in Ji Hong's mind.
"The world is in chaos with monsters...the blood god has come...to save the world from water and fire..."
Just then.
"Crack~click!"
The soft sound of jade breaking and falling woke up Ji Hong and the middle-aged man in blood robe.
Ji Hong glanced at the direction where the sound came from and looked at the middle-aged man in blood robe.
"Go, take it and take a look."
"yes."
Ji Hong stood up and walked to the foot of the statue and picked up the broken jade pendant. When he saw the message on it, his pupils shrank suddenly and he froze on the spot.
After two breaths, the middle-aged man in blood robe slowly said: "What's wrong?"
Ji Hong was silent for a moment, then walked back to his seat and handed over the broken jade pendant.
"Yao Cang, the second level of the Sky Control Realm... I remember, he is also your subordinate."
Ji Hong had a gloomy look on his face and nodded: "That's right, the third elder of the branch hall No. D in Youzhou."
"It's interesting." The middle-aged man in blood robe stood up, walked to a blood pool one foot long and one foot wide at the edge of the hall, and threw the jade pendant into it.
Put your palms together in front of your chest and mutter something in your mouth.
After three breaths, a red light glowed from both palms.
The closed eyes of the middle-aged man in blood robe suddenly opened, his left hand turned into a knife, and he slashed at the palm of his right hand, spilling red and bright blood.
"Tick!"
"Tick!"
"..."
The blood dripped down the palm into the pool, causing ripples.
Soon, a picture emerged from the rippling ripples.
In the picture, a figure wrapped in flames punched Yao Cang, and then quickly followed Yao Cang. Yao Cang threw a wooden pipe, and then the smoke in the wooden pipe was burned out. The two talked, and the fiery figure kicked him again.
Crushing Yao Cang's head.
The picture has disappeared even here.
Ji Hong also walked to the edge of the pool just now and saw the scene in the picture.
"That figure just now...is it Gu An?" Ji Hong had seen Gu An's appearance before, so he recognized it quickly.
After waving his hand, the blood on his palm stopped dripping, the middle-aged man in the bloody robe turned and walked towards the futon.
"It's him."
"Isn't he in the body tempering stage? Why can he control the air?"
Sitting back on the futon, the middle-aged man in blood robe said softly: "It's not the control of the air, it should be the flames spurting out from under his feet that allow him to temporarily float in the air."
"Master, Gu An has such strength in the body tempering realm now. If he doesn't find a way to eradicate him, he may become Yi Cheng again in the future!" Ji Hong said eagerly with a flushed face.
"No, when Yi Cheng was young, he wasn't as strong as him."
Ji Hong looked happy and bowed: "Since the leader agrees, my subordinates are willing to take the initiative to help eliminate Gu An!"
The middle-aged man in blood robe shook his head: "You don't need to take action on this matter, someone will help us handle it."
Ji Hong frowned and thought for a moment, as if thinking of something: "Leader, you mean they..."
The middle-aged man in the blood robe nodded: "Since they have released Yao Cang, the news that Gu An is safe and sound will soon reach their ears.
They knew that with You Hongming's ability, they could naturally find out where Yao Cang left from.
Therefore, we will rush to kill Gu An before You Hongming investigates."
After a moment of silence, Ji Hong said: "In this case, they can't hide it anymore."
"Hide? They don't plan to hide anymore. This is good. It buys us some time."
"Leader, we haven't gotten the "Blood Drawing Technique" back yet."
"It doesn't matter, they probably won't be able to practice the "Blood Drawing Technique" and won't be able to touch its secrets.
It only took three attempts, and it failed both times.
The third time, when the time is right, I will pick it up myself."
Ji Hong nodded slowly, then sat on the futon with the middle-aged man in blood robe, facing the statue and started to run the technique.
…
Under the night sky.
Gu An drove a fast horse and ran along the forest path.
After traveling for more than two hours, under the moonlight, I saw the three big red characters of Shikou Town on the boundary monument not far away.
Whispered: "We're here..."
He got off his horse and tied it up in the forest, shouldered his baggage and walked slowly towards the town.
Late at night, the residents of the entire town fell into a deep sleep and it was very quiet.
No one knew about the arrival of Gu An, an outsider. Only the barking of some dogs in the courtyard greeted Gu An.
Walk through the entire town and into the forest behind.
With the moonlight shining in the sky, Gu An took stock of his surroundings.
If I remember correctly, it was nearby... Gu An released his mental power, went deep into the ground, sensed all the movements underground, and began to slow down and move forward slowly.
After more than ten breaths, in a forest clearing, Gu An stopped, his eyes shining.
Found it...
Gu An sensed that there was a huge hole in the ground where he was standing, extending downward for about forty feet.
Inside the hollow, there were more than a dozen figures walking around inside.
Just as he was about to punch through the ground directly, an idea came to Gu An's mind and he continued walking forward.
…
Underground.
Several men in red robes sat around the stone table, pushing Pai Gow.
At the same time, they were talking about the previous incident where Ji Kun led his troops to attack the 100 households of Dongling County Town at night.
"Young Master Ji Kun has done a good job for our Blood God Cult this time." The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said with a smile.
"A long face is a long face, but it's all folded in."
"By the way, why did they sneak attack on the Baihu Office of Zhenxiesi in Dongling County? The higher-ups didn't tell us."
"Not sure."
"have no idea."
"..."
A man with a beard passed by them with a bucket of blood in his hand. He heard their conversation and looked at the closed stone chamber behind him.
Turning the direction of the bucket, he slowly walked to the stone table and put one hand on the table: "Didn't I go up there to get blood during the day? I asked the old man about it. Guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
The bearded man whispered: "I heard that someone lost the "Blood Drawing Technique" and it was kept pressed on it."
"The "Blood Drawing Technique" is lost!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! I haven't told the deacon about this yet!"
As he said that, the bearded man turned back to look at the stone room with lingering fear.
"I heard it."
A powerful voice came from the stone chamber.
"Ka~ka!"
The stone door opened, and a burly man walked out.
Others stood up one after another.
"Deacon Meng."
Meng Xun, the Blood God Sect's resident deacon in Ping'an County, ignored the bearded man's embarrassment and pondered for a moment: "Go, everyone pack your things and move to the base tomorrow night."
Everyone was stunned for a moment and responded in unison: "Yes!"
Then when he was about to take action, a loud noise suddenly came from the end of the corridor.
