1939 The Most Dao Contamination Qi, Jiangchen Tribe Leader Rises, Four Blood Supreme Pills’ Power
“It’s an old legend. I don’t know if it is real,” the Drought Maiden answered with a smile.
“Is that so?” Chu Kuangren, however, did not linger on the topic.
Soon, the Hanba Tribe Leader informed him that the restriction seals around the deepest part of the Jiangshi Restricted Area were lifted and that he could proceed to absorb the Dao contamination qi.
“Thank you for your hospitality for the past few days. I’ll be taking my leave,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
The Drought Maiden sighed as Chu Kuangren left her sight. “What a dull man. His heart is like a stone.”
She had been seducing him for days, but he turned a blind eye to all of her tricks.
How irritating! Was it because she was not attractive enough?
The Drought Maiden looked into the mirror. She saw her voluptuous body and beautiful face. “I’m quite the looker.”
Then, a Jiangshi from her tribe came. When he saw her winking in the mirror, he cleared his throat to announce his arrival.
The Drought Maiden put the mirror away. “What is it?”
“Drought Maiden, the Jiangchen Tribe has requested a meeting.”
“Oh? What is it they want from me?”
Baffled, the Drought Maiden frowned and said, “Is it because of the political marriage again? How troublesome.”
The Jiangcheng Tribe was the weakest tribe in the Jiangshi Restricted Area.
They had been trying to propose a political marriage to the Hanba Tribe to strengthen their status and strength, but the Drought Maiden declined it.
“Fine. I’ll go see them one last time,” she said indifferently.
…
On the other hand, deep in the Jiangshi Restricted Area, Chu Kuangren arrived in front of a massive mountain.
There were rumbling black qis circling the mountain foot.
On the top of the mountain, a person was sitting with his legs crossed.
“That man is the Tribe Leader of Yinggou Tribe, the Restricted Area Supreme Overlord!” the Hanba Tribe Leader said.
Having also noticed Chu Kuangren’s arrival, Yinggou Tribe Leader opened his eyes and looked at him.
“Welcome, Immortal King. Please forgive me as I am unable to welcome you myself. I have to stay here to suppress this location.”
“It’s alright.”
Chu Kuangren looked at the Dao contamination qi at the mountain foot.
That location had the most Dao contamination qi among all the locations he visited. Even with his capabilities, he might have to spend a few days to reach its deepest part with Yinggou Tribe Leader’s help.
Yinggou Tribe Leader agreed.
“The Dao contamination qi here was the source of the calamity. I have been suppressing it for a long time, so I can spare a few more days. Let’s begin,” Yinggou Tribe Leader said.
Hanba Tribe Leader watched from the side and decided to guard the two of them.
After a few days, a wretched figure limped toward the mountain from afar.
It was the Drought Maiden.
Her energy presence was weak, and she looked pale. Her Hanba True Flame was badly consumed as if it had been sucked out of her body.
Hanba Tribe Leader was shocked to see her so weak.
“Drought Maiden, what happened to you?”
“Tribe Leader, it’s the Jiangchen Tribe! They’re collecting the blood of all four Jiangshi tribes to refine the Four Blood Supreme Pill!” the Drought Maiden said feebly.
The Jiangchen Tribe set her up to extract her blood essence and her True Flame. She was only able to escape alive because the elders of the Hanba Tribe risked their lives to cover her escape.
Hanba Tribe Leader’s expression turned grim when he learned what happened.
“Such audacity!”
The Four Blood Supreme Pill was a legend circulating the Jiangshi Restricted Area.
It was said that the blood of all four Jiangshi tribes contained a portion of the Hou Beast’s energy. If the blood could be fused, one could acquire the power of the Hou Beast, transcending beyond all Jiangshis and becoming an ancient beast-like existence.
The Four Blood Supreme Pill was the fusion of the blood of all four Jiangshi tribes.
However, in order to refine the pill, a large amount of blood from all four tribes was required, and it might not even succeed in the end.
Therefore, the pill remained a taboo in the Jiangshi Restricted Area for a long time.
No one would have thought that the Jiangchen Tribe would take the risk to refine the tabooed pill.
It infuriated Hanba Tribe Leader.
Kaboom!
Then, a terrifying energy presence, followed by endless fiery light, burst into the sky from another corner of the Restricted Area.
The entire Restricted Area was shaken by the blast.
It was the Jiangchen Tribe’s base!
“Hahaha! I did it! I finally did it!”
The Jiangchen Tribe Leader emerged from the endless fiery light. The energy that circulated him contained a destructive force.
Even though he was not an Embodier, the power inside him rivaled one.
All the Jiangshis in the Restricted Area trembled as they looked at him. Their bloodline grew restless as if they were afraid of him.
“So is this the power of the Four Blood Supreme Pill? I’ve planned for this many years, and I finally did it. Now…”
Jiangchen Tribe Leader looked in the other direction of the Restricted Area, where the Dao contamination qi was sealed.
His fangs were unveiled.
“Chu Kuangren, your treasured blood shouldn’t go to waste. With your blood and the Four Blood Supreme Pill, I will be even stronger. It’s like giving wings to a tiger! Then, I can even beat Yinggou Tribe Leader!”
The Jiangchen Tribe Leader was excited. He could already picture the scene where he ruled the entire Restricted Area.
With that, he made his way toward the sealed location.
“The time is here for the Jiangchen Tribe to rise!”
“That’s right. We’ve been oppressed by the other three tribes for many years, and we can finally come up on top!”
“Follow the Tribe Leader and take over the Restricted Area!”
The Jiangshi of the Jiangchen Tribe had a strange zeal in their eyes. They were excited by the idea that their Tribe Leader promised.
Hence, they followed their Tribe Leader to the sealed location, leaving a trail of destruction in their way.
The entire Restricted Area was plunged into chaos.
Meanwhile, at the sealed location, the Hanba Tribe Leader sensed the Jiangchen Tribe Leader’s approach.
He channeled his Hanba True Flame and released the scorching energy, expanding it to surround the entire mountain.
Despite being in a scorching environment, his eyes were cold.
Bang!
The tremendous energy presence had arrived.
The Jiangchen Tribe Leader looked at the Hanba Tribe Leader. “Hanba Tribe Leader, are you sure you want to stand against me?”
“Jiangchen Tribe Leader, the Four Blood Supreme Pill is a restricted item, and you have broken the rules of the Restricted Area. You’re the one standing against the entire Restricted Area! You even hurt the Drought Maiden! For that, I will not forgive you!”
“What a joke! The Four Blood Supreme Pill is so powerful, but all of you are so afraid of making a little sacrifice to get it. You have even labeled it as taboo. How outdated and foolish your thoughts are. No wonder the Jiangshi Restricted Area’s development has been stagnant for years. Only I have the nerve to do what you dare not!
“Only I have the power to lead the Jiangshi Restricted Area to a new height! Hanba Tribe Leader, bow to me now, and as fellow Jiangshis, I’ll allow you to keep the title of Tribe Leader,” Jiangchen Tribe Leader said coldly.
He was beaming with confidence.
He had always been the weak and timid one before the other three Tribe Leaders, but things were different now.
“Hmph! Jiangchen Tribe Leader, you’re stirring up an internal conflict!” a cold voice said.
A man surrounded by an ominous aura came over. He was the Tribe Leader of Houqing Tribe.
“This isn’t an internal conflict. This is a revolution! And bloodshed will follow. Now, I shall show you how powerful I am after I’ve been changed!”
The Jiangchen Tribe Leader swung his sleeve. His eyes turned crimson, and terrifying undead qi rumbled around him.
He lifted his hand, and the Hanba True Flame blasted forward.
The Four Blood Supreme Pill had allowed him to master the abilities of the other three tribes!
Houqing Tribe Leader and Hanba Tribe Leader had bitter looks on their faces.
