Picking up the spoils from behind
After entering the Ancient Secret Realm, the two of them teamed up to explore and ventured into the Blood Curse Swamp.
After a day of exploration, they found several portions of Profound Yellow Qi and reaped considerable rewards.
Just now, they found a three-zhang-wide piece of Blood Jade Stone a hundred meters underground. They were about to dig it out and flatten it when two Ninth Realm Martial Saint suddenly appeared and tried to snatch the Blood Jade Stone.
Before entering the secret realm, the Zun Sheng solemnly warned that infighting was forbidden.
But these two Ninth Realm Martial Saint dared to disguise themselves and snatch the treasure, clearly because they were envious of the Blood Jade Stone.
Qian Poqiong and Tai Shang Lingyun were naturally furious, so they started fighting with the two Ninth Realm Martial Saint. Unexpectedly, a Great Shaman was secretly taking advantage of their infighting to steal a large piece of Blood Jade Stone.
From within the blood mist, Bruce's voice rang out. "I was just passing by and never intended to steal any treasure. Besides, you were fighting amongst yourselves, which allowed me to gain an advantage. Whose fault is that?"
Tai Shang Lingyun raised an eyebrow. "I've heard that voice before, it's Bruce, the Southern Domain Great Shaman."
"Bruce, you're asking for it!"
Tai Shang Lingyun added telepathically, "This person might also be an imposter, trying to mislead us with Bruce's voice."
After all, who hides their body and speaks in their own voice?
Helpless, Qian Poqiong looked at the two Ninth Realm Martial Saint hidden in the Blood Mist behind him. "Tuoba Kuan, Dugu Wang, do you two old guys really think I'm blind and can't sense your Domain power? If the Blood Jade Stone was stolen by the Great Shaman of the Southern Domain, help me get it back now, and I won't have to inform the Zun Sheng."
In the blood mist, Tuoba Kuan and Dugu Wang, whose identities had been exposed, exchanged a glance and stopped concealing themselves.
Tuoba Kuan laughed and said, "Qian Poqiong, we were just passing by. We attacked you just now because we thought you were Swamp Monster. As for complaining to your Zun Sheng, I'm afraid you won't win."
"Stop talking nonsense! This Great Shaman is trying to escape. If you don't step in, you won't get a share of the Blood Jade Stone!"
"If you had said so earlier, we would have done it already."
Upon hearing that Qian Poqiong was willing to give up his share of the Blood Jade Stone, Tuoba Kuan grinned and quickly stopped ' Bruce ' with Dugu Wang.
"No matter who you are, hand over the Blood Jade Stone now, and we will let bygones be bygones and will not investigate your identity."
The one impersonating ' Bruce ' is, of course Griffis.
If it were a large piece of Red Grade rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, how could he easily hand it over?
As for Bruce's identity, even if it is exposed, it will have nothing to do with him.
Seeing that four Ancient Domain Ninth Realm Martial Saint were joining forces, Griffis knew he was no match for them and quickly used the blood mist to escape.
"Gallbladder!"
The four of them quickly caught up.
Thus, the tremendous sounds of battle echoed throughout the swamp, gradually awakening some swamp Swamp Monster had been sleeping deep within it.
At this moment, Lin Yi, who was thousands of miles away, also sensed the commotion of the battle.
Lin Yi extracted a complete amount of Profound Yellow Qi from a Blue Quality [Blood Melting Mushroom] and headed towards the center of the battle.
Such a large commotion aroused his curiosity; he wanted to know who was fighting whom.
After all, as the Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass, he had the authority to uphold the rules of Zun Sheng.
Those who engage in internal strife must be severely punished.
If he didn't unleash some Profound Yellow Qi at this time, he wouldn't be called Lin Yi.
However, as he ventured deeper, Lin Yi suddenly discovered that the blood mist throughout the Blood Curse Swamp had become increasingly dense.
It's unclear whether he stepped into the Core Zone of the swamp or whether the earth-shattering battle ahead caused some inanimate objects to awaken.
As the Domain force that Lin Yi instinctively used to create a safe space of 100 meters within the blood mist contracted, Lin Yi increased the Domain force.
Lin Yi Yiru broke through the Martial Saint Nine Realms and could not exert much effort in continuously releasing her Domain power.
As Lin Yi was on his way, suddenly, a figure emerged from the blood mist and attacked him.
It's Swamp Monster!
It's Swamp Monster in human form!
The attacking Blood Shadow's skin was already festering and peeling off, its dark purple flesh covered with honeycomb-like holes, its internal organs long gone, and even its ribs were visible.
As for his lower body, he was wearing some kind of Spirit Underpants that had not yet rotted.
This Swamp Monster is probably an ancient ancestor from Ancient Domain who perished here long ago.
In an instant, Lin Yi figured out the origin of the humanoid Swamp Monster, and then slammed his fist down.
It's still the Town Law Thunder Fist.
Lin Yi is currently using a fist technique that he finds increasingly easy to master and incredibly powerful.
Boom!
Purple lightning flashed, instantly blasting the humanoid Swamp Monster into pieces.
"Ding! You have killed a mutated Swamp Monster..."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. "Not Ninth Realm Martial Saint. With this physical strength, he is at most Eight-Realm Martial Saint. It seems that he is Martial Saint Ancestor who perished here after the Ancient Domain took control of the Ancient Secret Realm."
The exact time when the Ancient Secret Realm first appeared in the Heavenly Initiate World is unknown, but it has roughly gone through three periods.
The Gu Xianhe era, the Warring Period, and the period when the Ancient Domain monopolized the secret realm.
The number of places in the Ancient Secret Realm is quite limited. The fact that the Ancient Domain allowed someone to enter as Eight-Realm Martial Saint suggests that this person is from the third period to enter the Ancient Domain.
Lin Yi was not interested in the Drops by an Eight-Realm Martial Saint Swamp Monster.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Yi's eyes widened suddenly after seeing a series of Drops.
[Profound Yellow Qi] *3
Small piece of Blood Jade Stone *1
[Blood Spirit Wood - Gold]*1, [Blood Melting Mushroom - Blue]*4...
A whole bunch of Drops, including three portions of Profound Yellow Qi alone, not to mention a small piece of Blood Jade Stone.
It should be noted that for some old monsters whose lifespans can no longer be extended, the value of Blood Jade Stone is probably even greater than that of Profound Yellow Qi.
"Could it be that something inside this Qi Sea Space has been revealed?"
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Yi realized that it was indeed possible.
The Qi Sea Space is similar to a vacuum, and the materials stored inside have almost no time limit and will not decay. The fact that so many spoils have been found means that they fell out of the Qi Sea Space.
"Alright, alright, it seems that instead of searching for treasure aimlessly in this place, we might as well actively seek out those humanoid Swamp Monster."
Lin Yi collected the Drops and, instead of chasing after the fighting crowd ahead, began searching for the humanoid Swamp Monster.
The Ancient Domain Martial Saint who perished in this place probably all had some Profound Yellow Qi in their Qi Sea Space. Perhaps killing all the humanoid Swamp Monster in the swamp could yield a considerable amount of Profound Yellow Qi.
Soon, more than ten minutes had passed.
As Griffith and the Qian Poqiong three unleashed their full power, more and more Swamp Monster were alerted.
Lin Yi followed closely behind, clearing away the Swamp Monster that crawled out from the depths of the swamp.
These Swamp Monster are humanoid, as well as strange beasts and Honored Demon.
Among them, the Swamp Monster transformed from the Honored Demon is a physical mutation, retaining about 80% of its original combat power, making it the most troublesome.
After killing one and finding that it only dropped some rotten bones, Lin Yi lost interest in this Honored Demon Swamp Monster.
Boom!
Lin Yi Town Law Thunder Fist, shattering a humanoid Swamp Monster. A Profound Yellow Qi and some miscellaneous materials then fell to the ground.
Tsk, yet another Ancient Domain Eight-Realm Martial Saint predecessor has fallen here!
Unfortunately, this ancestor didn't gain much back then; he only had a portion of Profound Yellow Qi, and it wasn't even the complete kind. How pitiful.
Just as Lin Yi was mourning, the entire Blood Curse Swamp shook violently, and a powerful aura emerged from the ground in the Core Zone of the battle ahead.
