Now that he was without it, he had to reassess many situations he could originally have handled.
If he really went to the Reincarnation Dead Sea, the Northwestern Circuit-Surveying Seal would be practically useless, and taking his million Dao Soldiers inside would be even more impossible.
Losing the Primordial Magnetism Cauldron as well would be a tremendous blow to his strength!
Tie Hengjiang took in his expression. The young man before him had gained some standing now, and there was no need to antagonize him. "You kept Yanmen Pass standing, and the Northern Border benefited from you. I won't shortchange you."
As he spoke, Tie Hengjiang took a long, narrow blackwood case from his Storage Magic Treasure and set it on the stone table.
"Take a look at this."
The instant the seal on the lid opened, sand and stones flew through the stone chamber, and qi mechanisms erupted.
Qing Chen's still somewhat despondent gaze froze.
A blood-colored staff lay inside the case.
Its shaft was dark red, almost black, with a dark gold band around either end. Several dragon patterns coiled around its middle, firmly locking an astonishingly heavy blood baleful intent power within.
Tie Hengjiang crooked a finger, and the staff rose out of the wooden case, returning to a length of over ten feet in midair.
The Three Brahma-Blood Demon Wheels inside Qing Chen actually trembled simultaneously.
"A Half-Spirit Treasure?" A gleam finally returned to his eyes.
Tie Hengjiang nodded. "The Five Hells Coiling Dragon Staff. A treasure used by the Moon-Worshipping Divine Cult's Blood Fiend Spirit Venerable in his early years. It later passed through various hands into the Immortal Dynasty's Treasury and has sat unused for many years."
Blood Fiend's!
Qing Chen instinctively looked at the shaft, sending his divine sense along the dragon patterns.
