Sisters, Harvest, Blood Flow Art

Half an hour later, the Demon Suppressing Division's carriage arrived.

Everyone loaded the corpse of the Blood-Eyed Ape Spirit and the corpses of those few Demon Suppressing Division members onto the carriage, and the group returned to the Demon Suppressing Division.

Since several colleagues had died in battle this time, everyone was quite silent on the way back, and no one spoke.

"You guys take the bodies to the backyard first." Upon returning to the Demon Suppressing Division, Ye Yinyue instructed a few carriage drivers at the entrance.

"Yes, Lord Ye." The drivers bowed and cupped their fists.

Then Ye Yinyue said to Lin Guanhuo and the others who had accompanied her this time, "You guys come with me to collect your rewards."

Everyone entered the gate of the Demon Suppressing Division and walked forward along a wide stone path.

At this moment, everyone could see a carriage approaching them. The carriage was entirely black, with gold thread patterns inlaid along the edges of the carriage.

More than a dozen blade-wielding guards followed on both sides. These guards were dressed in black and had expressionless faces.

Lin Guanhuo sensed it and immediately discovered that the cultivation of all the guards was above the seventh-rank martial artist level, and the two leading guards had even reached the Muscle-Tendon Realm!!

It was worth noting that reaching this realm meant they were renowned experts within hundreds of miles of Blackwater City.

"Black Armored Guard?" Lin Guanhuo frowned slightly. He had heard before that there was a mysterious guard unit within the Demon Suppressing Division that did not usually go out to slay demons and monsters but only accompanied the important figures of the Demon Suppressing Division.

This meant... the person in the carriage must be a very important figure.

'Black Gold Carriage, Muscle-Tendon Realm guards, dozens of escorts... what a grand display.'

Just as Lin Guanhuo was contemplating, he suddenly noticed that Ye Yinyue, the Silver Badge Agent beside him, seemed somewhat unusual after seeing the carriage.

Her jade hand tightly gripped the long sword in her hand, and she was somewhat tense.

"Stop."

At this moment, a cold female voice came from the approaching carriage, signaling it to stop.

Seeing this, all the nearby drivers and even some badge holders slightly bowed towards the carriage and respectfully said, "Greetings, Lord Ye."

"Greetings, Lord Ye."

"Greetings, Lord Ye."

Everyone spoke respectfully and bowed, also addressing her as 'Lord Ye.'

However, it was not directed at Ye Yinyue beside them.

It was directed at the mysterious woman inside the Black Gold carriage.

"Sis... Sister."

After another half-stick of incense, Ye Yinyue gritted her teeth and spoke softly.

From her tone, Lin Guanhuo could hear respect, admiration...

And even a hint of... fear.

"Brother Lin." Seeing Lin Guanhuo's lack of reaction, Chen Jianxing beside him whispered, "This is Lord Ye Yinxue, the Number One Gold Badge Holder! One of the two geniuses currently being cultivated with the full strength of our Demon Suppressing Division! A Martial Master in the Bone Forging Realm at less than twenty years old!"

"When the old Commander retires, she will be the one to hold up the sky for our Demon Suppressing Division!"

Chen Jianxing's tone was also full of admiration for this person.

The Number One Gold Badge Holder of the Demon Suppressing Division was not just a symbol of the Demon Suppressing Division, but also a symbol of the entire Blackwater City, representing the most elite young generation of Blackwater City.

If she could advance further in the future and achieve the 'Blood Quenching' realm, becoming a Martial Arts Master.

The status of the entire Blackwater City would be elevated.

Hearing this, Lin Guanhuo cupped his fists along with the surrounding crowd.

The two realms of Martial Master were divided into Tendon Changing and Bone Forging.

In the entire Blackwater City, Tendon Changing practitioners were already rare. A Bone Forging realm cultivator could establish a sect and become a prominent figure in Blackwater City, known to every household.

A Bone Forging realm cultivator at the young age of twenty truly had a boundless future.

It was no wonder the Demon Suppressing Division would spare no effort in cultivating her.

After the carriage stopped, the thin gauze curtain was immediately lifted.

Revealed was an exquisitely beautiful face. The woman's skin was fair, and she possessed a cold, ethereal beauty. Although her facial features bore some resemblance to her younger sister Ye Yinyue, there was an added touch of cold, celestial grace.

"I heard you've been hunting the Blood-Eyed Ape Spirit recently, and even requested a restriction?" Ye Yinxue asked indifferently. However, upon seeing Ye Yinyue's somewhat weak aura, appearing to be injured, Ye Yinxue's brows furrowed slightly.

Ye Yinyue was silent for a moment, then said, "I sustained some injuries... Fortunately, I had the help of an expert who slew that beast... It's just a pity about a few brothers..."

"Nonsense."

However, as soon as Ye Yinyue finished speaking, Ye Yinxue inside the carriage's beautiful eyes turned somewhat icy, and she rebuked, "For a demon like that, only a Tendon Changing Martial Master of the fifth rank or above has full confidence. You pushing yourself like this harms yourself and others."

Hearing this, Ye Yinyue suddenly felt wronged. She had originally hoped her sister would comfort her a few words.

Unexpectedly, all she received was blame.

The two had relied on each other since childhood. Ye Yinyue suddenly felt that her once gentle sister had now become somewhat unfamiliar.

"I was wrong... Sister." Ye Yinyue lowered her head, like a child who had made a mistake.

Ye Yinxue's expression remained cold. She lowered the curtain, leaving behind a single sentence: "Perhaps this place, the Demon Suppressing Division, is not suitable for you. I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

As he spoke, the convoy proceeded, slowly leaving the Demon Suppressing Division.

However...

No one noticed.

The moment the carriage drove out of the Demon Suppressing Division, the curtain was gently lifted again, and a beautiful pair of eyes looked at Ye Yinyue, who was still standing in place.

After Ye Yinxue's convoy left.

Lin Guanhuo and others followed Ye Yinyue to the Front Hall of the Demon Suppressing Division to register.

Then they collected their rewards.

For killing an Eighth-Rank Great Demon, the reward was a total of twelve hundred taels of silver.

Ye Yinyue felt ashamed and left not a single cent, distributing all the silver to Lin Guanhuo and the others.

Lin Guanhuo received three hundred taels.

After distributing the silver, Ye Yinyue left alone.

Looking at her somewhat dejected back, Lin Guanhuo suddenly felt.

Perhaps this woman's biggest goal was to gain her sister's approval.

Living her whole life for others was actually very tiring.

After receiving the silver, Lin Guanhuo returned to his small courtyard. It was already dark.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, his spiritual sense surging into his mind.

The cultivation method for the Blood Flow Art was now completely memorized by him.

[Enlighten Blood Flow Art, consume 2000 Draw Sword counts]

As Lin Guanhuo's thoughts surged, a system prompt immediately appeared before him.

However, seeing the number three thousand made Lin Guanhuo a little speechless...

'Before, I only used 1000 Draw Sword counts to enlighten the Grade Two Mountain Piercing Art.'

'This Blood Flow Art actually requires 2000...'

'Another life-draining black hole...'

That being said, Lin Guanhuo had personally witnessed the terror of the Blood Flow Art before.

If he could master this divine ability, with the surge of blood qi, it could greatly increase his drawing speed, whether for pursuit, assassination, or even a quick escape if things went wrong.

This was enough to give him the upper hand.

He glanced at it; his lifespan was [40] years.

Without hesitation.

"Redeem 20 years of lifespan!" Lin Guanhuo said in his mind.

Then, he saw the lifespan on his personal information panel decrease from 40 to 20.

Following this came countless pieces of knowledge, insights, and proficiency pouring into his limbs and bones!

For a day, Lin Guanhuo sat cross-legged, motionless. Wisps of white smoke rose around his body.

Another day passed, and the white smoke around Lin Guanhuo began to turn a slow blood-red.

Three more days passed. At this moment, Lin Guanhuo was completely enveloped in a crimson glow, as if he were a blood-man.

[Successfully comprehended Blood Flow Art]

As a prompt echoed in his mind, Lin Guanhuo suddenly opened his eyes.

Blood Flow Art, complete!
