Blood Serum

Simply put, before Xiao WuYe can duel with his opponent, he needs to prove his strength by having a record that is equal to and impressive to his opponent.

And it's simple to do this: just kill a Dou Sheng Expert of the same level.

Defeating a strong opponent of the same level seems simple, but in the context of the scarcity of Dou Sheng Expert in Central Plains, it becomes quite difficult.

Each Dou Sheng is a treasure of their respective faction, so you can imagine how difficult it is to infiltrate and successfully kill one.

But Xiao WuYe had a perfect target – the Second Heavenly Venerable who had been defeated time and time again!

The people of the Soul Hall have a deep-seated hatred for the Xiao Clan. They are extremely weak, yet they are still Dou Sheng, which perfectly fits the requirements.

Xiao WuYe's concern was how to conceal his identity and how to lure out the Second Heavenly Venerable for a secret kill.

After all, these Second Heavenly Venerable were among the few Dou Sheng Expert in the Soul Hall. Once they learned that the other party's death was related to Shadow Prison, the latter's life would probably not be easy.

This is also why Xiao WuYe came to Xiao Han for help.

"What's your mission time limit?" Xiao Han stroked his chin, a glint of shrewdness in his eyes. This was very important.

Xiao WuYe looked troubled, which startled Xiao Han. "Ancestor, there is still one year left before the deadline."

The selection process for the Shadow Prison Elder Seat has been ongoing for a long time, and now a winner has finally emerged.

Unexpectedly, another successor of the Shadow Killing Saint suddenly appeared, which was not a good thing in the eyes of most people in Shadow Prison.

Giving Xiao WuYe a year was already a consideration because of his strength.

"A year..." Xiao Han pondered for a long time.

"Alright, leave it to me." Xiao Han said with murderous intent in his eyes, "Within six months, I will make sure that Second Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Hall is alone."

"Thank you, Ancestor." Xiao WuYe didn't feel anything special. In the eyes of the Xiao Clan family, it was no big deal for the Ancestor to speak. He only needed to wait for news.

"Then this junior will take his leave first," Xiao WuYe said respectfully. He had put in a lot of effort to get out of this mess, so he should go back as soon as possible.

Xiao Han responded softly, then transformed into a gust of wind and snow and left the mountain peak, leaving only a few snowflakes that had not yet melted, marking his presence.

Xiao WuYe was equally astonished by Xiao Han's sudden disappearance right under his nose.

He could only marvel once again at the terrifying power of his ancestor before quietly blending into the shadows.

While Xiao Han and Bone Nether Saint were plotting, the Saint Gu You, who had been in seclusion in the Human Hall of the Soul Hall's Heavenly Dipper Hall, suddenly shivered.

The Second Heavenly Venerable Venerables looked solemn, as if they had just been targeted by some primordial beasts.

This is a blood-red world, filled with a heavy, stench. Dozens of towering stone pillars are carved with numerous intricate and bizarre patterns. If someone weak were to look at it, they would feel as if their blood were being drained away.

However, what is most eye-catching is the vast blood-red ocean tens of thousands of feet deep at the center of the world, where a naked, pale-skinned red-haired man sits cross-legged on a stone platform with his eyes closed.

With each breath, a faint crimson aura seemed to emanate from his body.

Finally...

The aura within the sea of blood suddenly surged violently. As the red-haired man opened his eyes and let out a soft shout, a massive wave thousands of feet high surged forth, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, and crashed outwards.

Then, the patterns on the many strange stone pillars standing in the sea of blood emitted a faint black light, and a transparent light shield rose above the sea of blood, calming the towering waves and restoring peace to everything.

"What an intoxicating feeling!" After stretching his body and making crackling sounds, feeling the abundant power within him, the red-haired man couldn't help but sigh with pleasure.

Just then...

Soft applause rang out.

"Congratulations, Blood Serum!"

The red-haired man looked in the direction of the sound and saw a calm-looking figure in white appear silently on a giant pillar above the sea of blood, looking down at him.

With a strange smile on his face, he said, "Soul Clan, thank you for your help. I will repay you handsomely in the future."

Soul Clan —an ordinary title, but when combined with the person's status, it becomes incredibly prestigious.

The person standing before this man was none other than one of the strongest figures on the Fierce Qi Continent, the Soul Race Patriarch — Soul Emperor!

The Blood Serum was the strongest among the group of Blood Demon brought back by the Soul Clan powerhouses, and is also the current so-called leader of the Blood Demon Tribe.

Compared to its kin who only knew how to survive in the Blood-colored Hell in a daze, the Blood Serum was very clear about the cause and effect of what happened back then.

I thought I would struggle to survive in purgatory like everyone else, but it turned out that there was always a way out.

Although they didn't know why this person would lend a helping hand to their race's greatest enemy, even if the other party had grand ambitions, Blood Serum could only sigh at their luck.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was incredibly strong and possessed a pure aura, he would have suspected that the other party was a spy for their Evil Clan.

But it doesn't matter. When the Evil Clan launches a counterattack on this continent, he will definitely give them a generous "reward." The Soul Emperor was naturally completely unaware of Blood Serum's thoughts at this moment, but even if he did... he wouldn't care.

Because... he is the Soul Emperor! The strongest being on this continent! Destined to become Dou Di!

Regarding the Blood Serum group, the Soul Emperor was not as Xiao Bai as the former thought; at least he had a considerable understanding of the threat these guys posed.

The Devouring Spirit Devouring Race, which nearly wiped out their Soul Clan and forced many Dou God Clan on the Fierce Qi Continent to join forces against them, has a close relationship with these outsiders.

If Void Flame Devouring hadn't accidentally inherited some of the memories of that Devouring Spirit Race Clan Leader, he wouldn't have known that the Fierce Qi Continent had such a past.

However, knowing this is one thing, but since the Soul Emperor dared to do this, he must have made full preparations. When he becomes Dou Di, the value of these outsiders will completely disappear.

But right now, there was still a need for the other party. With the Soul Emperor's composure, he easily concealed his killing intent and said calmly, "You have already broken through to the Seven Star Dou Sheng realm, haven't you?"

"Seven Star Dou Sheng?" Blood Serum was taken aback at first, then suddenly remembered, nodded, and flattered, "Soul Clan truly has discerning eyes!"

The Soul Emperor was already immune to such flattery and remained silent.

"My clan has a matter for which we request Your Blood Serum's assistance."

Blood Serum, he was living under someone else's roof, and the other party would never come to his door without a reason. This time, he must have come to ask him to do some "shady work".

Moreover, he was perfectly aware of the fate of someone who had no value whatsoever...

"Speak freely, it is my duty!" Blood Serum assured him righteously.

The Soul Emperor merely smiled slightly and spoke softly toward the Blood Serum, without uttering a sound.

Five minutes later, Blood Serum's eyes widened, and he blurted out, "Is Soul Clan's statement true?"

The Soul Emperor nodded calmly, "Of course!"

Upon receiving an affirmative reply, Blood Serum suddenly grinned and said in a chilling tone, "In that case, I shall respectfully comply."

Although he didn't know what the Soul Race Patriarch was up to, Blood Serum only needed to know that he could gain immense benefits from it.

The two parted ways with smiles, each harboring their own secrets.
