“I still need four supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage to abhor me. Now that we’ve come to the Bone Demon Blood Sect, we’ve immediately discovered four supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage. Could this be the will of heaven?”
There was a passionate glow in An Lin’s eyes, and his feeling of excitement and elation was especially evident.
Xu Xiaolan huddled next to An Lin and whispered, “There are four supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage… Aren’t you worried about the potential dangers?”
“Heh, there aren’t even supreme beings of the Return to Void Final Stage. Who here can wound me?” An Lin chuckled confidently.
Xu Xiaolan didn’t try to convince him anymore, and she started to carefully analyze the enemies’ combat capabilities.
There were thousands of Blood Tribe cultivators gathered in the hall. Among them, there were over two hundred Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators, sixteen Soul Formation Stage cultivators, and most importantly, four Return to Void Stage cultivators.
Starbucks, the new sect leader of the Bone Demon Blood Sect, was a newly ranked-up Return to Void Stage supreme being.
Balck, the ancient ancestor, was a supreme being of the Return to Void Initial Stage.
Simpson and Eliza, the sect leaders of the Heavenly Scorpion Sect and the Red Snow Sect respectively, were both supreme beings of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage.
It could be said that such a formation was standard for first-rate sects of the Kingdom of the Nine States.
“They’ve gathered this many powerful beings because of the Blood Tasting Festival or whatever, right?” Xu Xiaolan murmured softly. “Also, it seems like the auction is really important to them.”
An Lin’s divine sense was more powerful than Xu Xiaolan’s, thus he also gathered more information than her.
He nodded and said, “That’s indeed the case. It seems like there’s an item that they’re all extremely interested in.”
“Then let’s wait for a bit longer.” Xu Xiaolan glanced around the hall curiously.
She really wanted to know what the item, which attracted so many Blood Tribe cultivators, was.
An Lin was also curious about what the Blood Tribe cultivators were about to gift him.
“Why don’t we sneak in?” An Lin suddenly suggested. “There are so many different sect members here. We won’t be discovered.”
“Huh? But our appearance…” Xu Xiaolan was momentarily dazed.
The facial features of the Blood Tribe were slightly different from humans. Moreover, they usually had blonde hair and crimson eyes. An Lin and Xu Xiaolan clearly had starkly different oriental features.
“I can resolve this problem!”
An Lin extended his hands, and a ball of reddish-blue liquid started to materialize. He had activated a technique of the stage-one Divine Liquid Creation Technique—Polymorphism!
Water could take on all kinds of shapes and forms. Thus, it could naturally change some features as well.
An Lin didn’t apply any significant transformations. He simply changed their hair colors and pupil colors and made some small changes to the shapes of their faces.
In no time, the Blood Tribe versions of An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were born.
“Xiaolan, your aura is a bit off. It’s too noble and holy. It’s not in line with the Blood Tribe females’ seductiveness and openness!”
“This… I’m sure that there are Blood Tribe females who also possess my kind of disposition.”
“Indeed there are. But they’re far too rare! You’ll definitely attract heaps of attention if you enter like this. We’re trying to sneak in stealthily, not draw the attention of everyone present!”
“Then… then what should I do? I don’t know how to become seductive and open…”
“How about this… Kiss me until you become aroused. Then, that kind of feeling and disposition will naturally appear!”
“… Scoundrel!”
A short while later.
Two Spirit Nurturing Stage Blood Tribe cultivators entered the hall hand in hand.
The male was dressed in white, and his footsteps were firm and steady. His crimson eyes appeared lively, and there was a hint of joy in his unruly expression.
The female was embracing the male’s arm, and her wavy golden hair stretched down to her waist. There was a slight blush on her exquisite face, and she appeared especially seductive.
Just like that, the two of them confidently strolled toward a banquet table. They were slightly stunned when they gazed at the table that was full of food.
That’s right, they were none other than the Blood Tribe versions of An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.
The food on the table consisted of all kinds of organs, eyeballs, and liquids. They were arranged beautifully, and their colors were especially vibrant. However, they were all f*cking raw!
Moreover, it appeared as though most of these body parts were sourced from the bodies of highly-intelligent life forms?
There were even slices of spicy-flavored Light Wing Clan wings on the table…
A Blood Tribe male held a knife and a fork and was eating with relish. However, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan couldn’t bring themselves to ingest these foods! They felt like vomiting just by looking at them!
Could it be that their disguised personalities were about to crumble straight away?
“Heh, this beautiful madam, may I have the fortune of drinking with you?” A handsome, blonde-haired male smiled at Xu Xiaolan as he walked over.
M-hm, this was unavoidable. Regardless of what version Xu Xiaolan was, she would always be too beautiful.
“I’m afraid that won’t be possible. She’s my dao partner.” An Lin slid his arm around Xu Xiaolan’s slender waist.
The handsome male’s smile didn’t disappear. He pointed toward a Blood Tribe female who was tasting blood wine nearby. “That’s my dao partner,” he said softly. “Are you interested in swapping?”
“Not interested,” An Lin replied coldly.
As they spoke, he secretly gathered power. He was ready to pummel this male to death at any moment.
At this moment, a nearby Blood Tribe male appeared to have overheard them. He walked over and pointed toward a female who was dancing with another male.
“She’s my dao partner.” He chuckled. “Are you interested in swapping?”
An expression of interest appeared on the handsome male’s face as he glanced at the dancing female. “No problem.” He nodded.
The two males chatted and laughed as they walked off together.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan both drew in a sharp intake of breath.
They ask such questions in public?
Are members of the Blood Tribe all this open and promiscuous?
Or could it be that the Blood Tribe cultivators gathered here are relatively more open and promiscuous?
An Lin suddenly felt that his servant, Cassidy, was a pure and untainted lotus. Although she was slightly provocative, she was still relatively normal.
“This place is so disgusting.” Xu Xiaolan scowled. “All kinds of disgusting.”
An Lin nodded in agreement. He picked up a glass of red wine and held it to his nose. A slightly alluring aroma of blood and alcohol rushed into his nose.
This kind of blood wine smelled fairly pleasant. However, it was unclear how it was brewed, and it was also unclear what kind of creature’s blood had been used. Anyhow, even the life essence was preserved and fermented especially well.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan continued to chatter, and they occasionally listened in on other people’s conversations. In fact, they even heard that the three Holy Disciples of the Blood Tribe were about to return from seclusion soon. However, these were merely rumors, and there wasn’t any detailed information.
During this period, there were even Blood Tribe females who approached Xu Xiaolan and asked if she was interested in swapping dao partners for the night. As they spoke, their glances kept swimming over toward An Lin…
Xu Xiaolan couldn’t contain herself any longer. “What are you aiming for?” she asked bluntly. “My dao partner is clearly not as handsome as yours!”
An Lin: “…”
“Ah?” The Blood Tribe female was slightly dazed upon hearing this. “Didn’t Holy Disciple Cassidy explain this to us a year ago? The mingling of different blood can trigger our hearts and dao realms, thereby increasing our chances of attaining enlightenment. As members of the Blood Tribe, our life goals should be to pursue fresh blood!
“If we swap blood at night, the different kinds of yin blood and yang blood will combine together and work to complement each other. Thus, it will definitely trigger different types of enlightenment. This has already been proven to work. Say… you two don’t even know about this?”
The Blood Tribe female gazed at An Lin and Xu Xiaolan as if they were country hicks.
So, swapping for the night meant swapping blood-exchange partners?
Xu Xiaolan and An Lin were astonished.
An Lin had just thought that Cassidy was a pure and untainted lotus. Now, however, he was told that she was the origin of this sinful-appearing practice?
What the f*ck? She must’ve babbled this bulls*t while she was high on my blood, right?!
Are the Blood Tribe cultivators misunderstanding something about Cassidy’s words?
“It’s fine if you’ve never heard of this before, at least you know now. Do you want to try? Although this little brother doesn’t appear particularly powerful, he seems especially lively and vigorous. Presumably, his blood will also taste fairly pleasant…” The Blood Tribe female winked at An Lin and licked her dainty red lips. “Mister, meet me tonight?”
An Lin shook his head. “No, thanks. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to withstand my blood.”
This statement was the truth. His title of Poison Lord was there for a reason.
Right now, his blood could already poison Blood Tribe cultivators of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage to death…
“Fufufu… I’m so scared…” The female patted her voluptuous chest as she giggled uncontrollably.
Xu Xiaolan’s face darkened, and she was just about to draw her sword and cut down the little b*tch before her.
However, a resounding voice suddenly sounded at this moment.
“Esteemed guests, the time has finally arrived. I hereby announce that the Blood Tasting Festival Auction will begin now!”
A stage started rising in the center of the hall.
A blue barrier appeared and enveloped the stage.
This was a barrier that could block the attacks of Return to Void Stage cultivators.
Starbucks, the sect leader of the Bone Demon Blood Sect, appeared in the center of the stage. He was the host for this auction.
Just like that, the Blood Tribe female escaped from the claws of death.
The thousands of Blood Tribe cultivators all shifted their gazes toward the stage.
The much-anticipated auction had finally begun!
