Devil Sect, in the underground palace.

The middle-aged man sat in a corner of the secret chamber, his entire body exuding an astonishing bloody Qi.

The scarlet bloody Qi surrounded him into a blood-red cocoon of light. The middle-aged man who sat in the middle of it was like a blood-soaked devil. His expression was ferocious, and his face was bloodthirsty.

When all the bloody Qi returned to the middle-aged man's body, his face revealed a look of enjoyment.

Just like that, he continued to peel off the blood Qi from his body and then injected new blood Qi into his Daoist body.

Every time a new blood Qi entered his body, the cultivation aura emanating off his body also rose steadily.

In a short moment, he had already climbed to the peak of the second transition of the Ascension Realm.

The bloody Qi filled the air, and the floor was filled with blood that was expelled from his body. The new blood was drawn from a suspended figure.

"Ahhhh!"

After a long while, the middle-aged man finally opened his scarlet eyes.

Immediately, on his face etched a crazy smile.

"Hahaha! I've ascended to the third transition. Using the blood demon magic to devour the Human Emperor's bloodline is indeed useful."

"If this continues, the days when our demon race will hold high the banner will not be far away!"

"This is all thanks to His Majesty's contribution!"

The middle-aged man looked at Mo Shenghong who was hanging in the air, his face full of ridicule.

Mo Shenghong's bloodline had been forcefully stripped away, and he was already on his last breath.

Even his voice had become so low that they could not be heard.

"Don't even think about it, I will not let you succeed even if I die."

"Hahaha! Don't worry, how can I bear to let you die?"

"Seeing that you are working so hard, it must be because you have lost too much blood and Qi. Later, I will get someone to send you some Heavenly and Earthly treasures, and I will definitely restore your blood and Qi!"

Mo Shenghong seemed to have guessed his thoughts. His pale face turned paler and paler.

This middle-aged man wanted to store him like food. He would absorb the blood in his body every once in a while and eventually absorb all the power of his bloodline.

Oh no!

How vicious!

The middle-aged man laughed and walked out of the secret room.

"Chen Youliang, if you have the ability to kill me!"

"As long as I, Mo Shenghong, don't die, one day, I will definitely cut you into a million pieces and burn you alive..."

That's right!

The middle-aged man who had always been there was the Great Qin's emissary, the third Prince of the Great Qin, Chen Youliang.

A few months ago, after the Great Qin's forces were defeated by the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect, he had taken the opportunity to escape to the great Feng Empire's capital to seek help.

At that time, Mo Shenghong did not follow his instructions and send him back to the Great Qin Empire. Instead, he imprisoned him in the water-surrounded prison of the Imperial City.

This became something that he regretted to this day. What he regretted was not that he did not send Chen Youliang back to the Great Qin Empire, what he regretted was why he did not kill this demon earlier.

Chen Youliang was rescued from the water prison by a mysterious person. After that, he disappeared without a trace for a period of time.

When he appeared a few days ago, it was the time when he was supposed to be in prison.

And the thing that he had never been able to figure out had finally been figured out today.

Chen Youliang was able to turn into his current appearance, escape from the heavily guarded water prison of the Imperial City, and ascend from a useless Dao cultivator with no cultivation at all. He actually had the support of the demon race behind him.

"The demon race, have they appeared again?"

Before Mo Shenghong fainted, he let out a long sigh.

At this moment, outside the secret room.

Chen Youliang said to the two black-robed guards.

"Go and get some high-quality blood-replenishing spiritual medicines. Once in a while, send the spiritual medicines to the person in the secret room. If he dies, I'll cut you into pieces with my knife."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"But, what if..."

One of the black-robed men wanted to say something but hesitated. It seemed like he wanted to say something but did not dare to.

"Speak!"

"Your Highness, what if Mo Shenghong doesn't cooperate?"

"Hehehe!"

Chen Youliang's scarlet eyes suddenly stared straight at the black-robed guard who was speaking.

"You're right. What if he doesn't cooperate?"

"What's your name?"

The black-robed guard replied, "I'm Chen Mochou!"

"Good! Chen Mochou, from now on, you'll be promoted to the captain of the guard team. I'll leave the matter of how to get Mo Shenghong to cooperate and heal his injuries to you!"

"Yes, sir! I'll definitely do my best to work for His Highness!"

When the black-robed guard heard this, his face was filled with joy.

"Haha! Work hard!"

Amidst the loud laughter, Chen Youliang transformed into a streak of blood-red light and rushed out of the palace.

...

The sun rose and the moon set. It was a new day.

When the sky turned white, the sound of the wind and rain outside the inn gradually weakened.

Su Xing woke up early in the morning and brought some dishes from the kitchen.

After performing a simple set of Taiji fist moves, he knocked on the door of the next room.

"Miss Xue Jian, get up and have breakfast."

After a cultivator cultivated to Qi-refining stage, they could use fasting pills to replace the five grains. After they cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage, they had already reached the stage where they could absorb nutrients from spiritual energy. At Su Xing's level, it would not affect him if he did not eat for a hundred years.

Moreover, consuming the five grains would inevitably produce impurities in the body. In this way, the progress of cultivation would also waste time because of the need to purify the impurities.

If an ordinary person was like Su Xing, they would have long disdained to eat this worldly thing. However, Su Xing was not an ordinary person.

Food was like a beauty, how could he let her down!

"Miss Xue Jian, are you up?"

Following a few heavy footsteps, the door was opened from the inside with a creak.

"Master Su Xing, Good Morning!"

"Miss Xue Jian, where did you go last night?"

The young girl, Xue Jian, rubbed her drowsy eyes and mumbled in a daze.

"I didn't do anything. I kept breaking through last night. I didn't sleep all night!"

Hearing this, Su Xing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You, you, I told you not to eat so much at night. You just can't keep your mouth shut."

Xue Jian's cultivation was barely at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the rich spiritual energy in Heaven room No. 1 was enough for her to endure. In addition to the dishes cooked using the Heavenly ingredients and Earthly treasures last night, don't even mention Foundation Establishment cultivators, even Nascent Soul cultivators would not be able to withstand it!

This was also due to her good aptitude and physique. Otherwise, Su Xing would have had no choice but to forcibly absorb the spiritual energy she absorbed last night.

There was a gain and a loss.

After losing a night's sleep, Xue Jian had now stepped into the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Tsk, tsk, this business was much better than what she had done in the past!

"Master, can I sleep a little longer and have breakfast later?"

Later? Would it still be called breakfast if it was later?

Su Xing grabbed her hand in a bad mood, and a burst of rich spiritual energy rushed over.

"As a cultivator, you have to learn to circulate the spiritual energy to form the circulatory cycle. After you form the circulatory cycle in your body, you will naturally be free from the mortal body."

Xue Jian did not usually cultivate any cultivation technique, so she had to figure it out on her own. Although she was lucky enough to step into the Foundation Establishment Realm, she did not know how to use her own spiritual energy!

This was also the reason why she did not rest for the whole night. She would show signs of fatigue and exhaustion.

She was a Nascent Soul cultivator after all, but she was actually lethargic because she did not sleep well. It would be a joke if people knew about it.

After guiding Xue Jian's spiritual power to circulate, Su Xing took out a cultivation technique from his storage ring.

"This is a heaven-grade cultivation technique. You should try to comprehend it first!"

After circulating the spirit energy once, Xue Jian felt much better.

She held the cultivation technique in her arms as if she had obtained a treasure.

"Thank you, Master, for the cultivation technique. Xue Jian will definitely not let you down. I will repay your kindness by cultivating the great Dao of longevity as soon as possible!"

Looking at Xue Jian cupping her fists in a dignified manner, Su Xing was slightly stunned. Then, a strange expression appeared on his face.

Uhm...

"Where did you learn this from?"

"I think everyone else does it. Could it be that my disciple didn't do it properly?"

As she spoke, she was ready to do it again.

Su Xing : "..."
