Chapter 1312: Blood Flows for Three Hundred Years

Following that coin knife to this place,I actually beheld a small creek flowing with blood!What in the name of the heavens is Yu Beidou doing?This matter grows increasingly bizarre and terrifying.Jiang Wang could not help but pause his steps.Yet that coin knife continued to fly onward above the stream of fresh blood,As if seeking to ascend against the current.Jiang Wang hesitated, Yu Beidou sought his aid,But spoke not of the peril of this affair.Now, it is clear this is no simple matter…Suddenly, a voice resounded: "Is it Jiang Xiaozi who has arrived? Hasten to my aid!"It was Yu Beidou's voice!The voice echoed, as though emanating from some mountain cave.Jiang Wang instinctively activated his Sound Perception Immortal State,Confirming the voice indeed belonged to Yu Beidou.Only then did he grip his longsword and advance with measured steps,Following the coin knife ahead, tracing the crimson stream upward.The more he observed, the more his heart trembled.This blood stream was not a dried-up creek filled with fresh blood.Rather, the blood coiled among strange rocks, winding its way down,Corroding the very ground to form this "stream."In other words, there was originally no "stream."And this blood was exceedingly fresh!To amass such a vast quantity of fresh blood, how many souls must have perished?Possessing such corrosiveness, how was this human blood produced?Without a word, Jiang Wang turned and departed.To perdition with the Yuan Stones, to perdition with the peak Outer Chamber level dao art!This matter was riddled with strangeness and now reeked of blood.The scriptures say a gentleman stands not beneath a crumbling wall.Having begun to read, Jiang Wang must naturally practice the principles of the ancient sages!"Jiang Wang? Jiang Wang!"Perhaps his departure was truly too resolute,Yu Beidou's voice also paused before resounding again,Carrying a hint of anxiety: "Do not flee!"Jiang Wang fled even faster.He even soared directly into the air, stepping upon the Azure Cloud mark,Increasing his speed.Yu Beidou's aged voice pursued him:"You heartless wretch! The Soothsayer Demonic Being used blood divination to scheme against you!Had this old man not bestowed upon you that protective talisman,By now, you would have been flayed, had your tendons drawn, and been devoured cleanly!Do you not possess even a shred of gratitude?!"The Soothsayer Demonic Being?!Jiang Wang, of course, remembered. In the Azure Cloud Pavilion of Yong State,He had intervened to preserve the last remnants of the Feng clan's bloodline,Preventing that so-called Balanced Blood from reaching perfect completion.He had seized the Azure Cloud Pavilion, cultivating the Peerless Ascension Immortal Art,And thus had offended the Demonic Being.Those two innocent evils, Flesh-削 and Ten Thousand Evils,The cruel evil that was the Unmasked Demonic Being,Fang Heling, who for some unknown reason had become the Hateful Heart Demonic Being,And that enigmatic diviner, mentioned only by those few Demonic Beings…For a considerable time, Jiang Wang had harbored deep vigilance towards them.He paid close attention to news concerning the Demonic Beings,Lest he be found unawares when they came seeking him.But later, as he rose higher within Qi State,He no longer held such trepidation towards those Demonic Beings.However evil or powerful the Demonic Beings might be,Before the might of Qi State, they were but ants.Now, Yu Beidou's mention of the Soothsayer Demonic Being completed the pictureOf how the protective talisman in Qingyang Town had been destroyed.It turned out the Demonic Beings had never forgotten this "grudge."Striking after such a long interval was the Diviner,He of the "one life, one reading"!Jiang Wang naturally believed him.He gritted his teeth, just as he was about to turn back.Yu Beidou's voice pursued again: "I shall add ten more Yuan Stones for you!"Jiang Wang could swear he was truly not doing it for the Yuan Stones.He had already intended to agree; Yu Beidou only increased the price afterward!Of course, since it was added, so be it…Without a sound, Jiang Wang gripped his sword and turned back,Flying forward along the crimson stream.After winding his way for dozens of zhang, he finally beheld a deep, secluded caveUpon the precipice.Having experienced the ancient demonic lair beneath the Clear RiverAnd within the Wu Yan Capital Mountains, Jiang Wang now felt a tremor of apprehension upon seeing a mountain cave.After all, both times he had entered a demonic lair, he had narrowly escaped death.Fortunately, this mountain cave showed some light,Unlike the ancient demonic lair.That Qi knife coin flew in first. Jiang Wang observed for a moment,Then followed it into the cave.The blood stream, gurgling and flowing, its source also lay within the cave.This should have been a naturally formed mountain cave,Showing no signs of human alteration – except for this blood stream.Deep within the cave, it was exceedingly dark.Jiang Wang's left hand gripping the sword was quite relaxed,But his cloak had been retracted, and his Ruyi Immortal Robe had reverted to the appearance of a blue gown.With each step, he trod upon the ground,Carefully observing everything within this cave.The entrance of this cave was narrow, widening further within.Due to the angle of view, the conditions inside were unseen."Come this way!" Yu Beidou's voice resounded from the left.Jiang Wang silently followed the coin knife,Turning left, he saw Yu Beidou.At this moment, Yu Beidou's silver hair shone brightly.On his lean face, the wrinkles shimmered with jade light.At first glance, he truly possessed an air of immortal grace and Daoist bone!Where was even a trace of his appearance as a street trickster?He was suspended in mid-air, cross-legged,His left hand forming a mudra before his knees,His right hand extended as a sword-finger, pointing downwards—There lay a richly robed old man with a pale, beardless face.His hands and feet were each bound by a jade ring,The other ends of the jade rings extended deep into the ground.The richly robed old man remained motionless,But his throat had been slit, and blood flowed continuously…This person was actually the source of the blood stream outside!With his throat as the water-eye, surging forth was a current of blood."Without three to five hundred years, his blood will not entirely drain."Yu Beidou remained motionless, only his voice resounded,Offering Jiang Wang an explanation.It seemed he was suppressing this richly robed old man,Only thus could he continuously "bleed" him.However… this blood flowing out of the caveHad even corroded the ground to form a small creek!It would still take three to five hundred years for the blood to completely drain.How much blood was this? What level of powerhouse was this?And what top-tier force stood behind him?Who were Yu Beidou's enemies, anyway?It felt as though neither side could be offended…Jiang Wang paused, then hesitated, saying:"Then I shall return to see you in three to five hundred years?""Heh heh." Yu Beidou's eyes did not move, but his tone was very lively:"Little friend certainly knows how to jest."Jiang Wang had just thought to say, "I am not jesting."Yu Beidou continued: "This is a Blood Demonic Being. If it were to escape,It would surely wreak havoc upon the world.To have grown to its current level, the number of souls it has sacrificed in blood offerings is immeasurable.After I discovered it in Rong State, I pursued and killed it all the way here,Only then did I manage to suppress it.Its demonic heart has been utterly sealed by me,Its four limbs are locked, connected to the earth's脉.But a mass of lifeblood has escaped into the depths of the canyon,Ready to come to the rescue of the main body at any moment.This place is desolate and uninhabited, difficult to seek external aid.You were the last person I contacted… I had no choice but to invite you here."So those jade rings were actually connected directly to the earth's 脉.Truly a mystical technique."What can I do?" Jiang Wang asked."To protect me here. This is a long-term option." Yu Beidou said."Or to pursue and kill that mass of lifeblood and crush it.""Can I defeat it?" Jiang Wang asked directly."The power of that mass of lifeblood will not exceed the Inner Mansion level.If your Yellow River Top Ranker title is not inflated, it should be no problem."Hearing it was only at the Inner Mansion level, Jiang Wang's confidence instantly returned:"Where do I find it?""Just follow your coin knife, but you had best be quick.Because as time passes, it will awaken more combat instinctsTo adapt to its state after leaving the main body…That is to say, it possesses growth potential.This is also the reason the Blood Demonic Being risked separating it,Hoping it could come to its rescue.""Awaken?" Jiang Wang frowned."Yes." Yu Beidou said lightly:"The source of the Blood Demonic Being is more terrifying than you imagine."Jiang Wang recalled that demonic spear in the ancient demonic lair.Clearly gathered from such faint demonic qi,But when one thrust came, he was nearly slain on the spot.He could not help but restrain his arrogant demeanor.He cautiously inquired: "How long has it been separated?""Not long." Yu Beidou said.Jiang Wang turned around with a flourish:"It is best to pursue the fleeing foe with the remaining courage. I shall be back shortly!"
