Chapter 237: Blood Witch Clan
Zhao Zhen said coldly: "Let's have a jar of wine!"
After listening to Zhao Zhen's words, the woman turned around indifferently, and after a while, a jar of cloudy wine was served. The liquid is dark red and has a strong fishy smell, as pungent as blood.
The corners of Zhao Zhen's eyes moved slightly, but his hand did not hesitate at all, and he drank this jar of wine, the wine was a little salty, and a little sour. The strong smell of blood instantly permeated Zhao Zhendi's sense of taste and smell. The rich experience made Zhao Zhen understand for the first time that what he drank was not wine, but human blood.
Silently put down the wine jar, Zhao Zhen's expression was very calm, secretly observing the every move of other people in the tavern, and soon, Zhao Zhen's powerful soul perception was keenly aware that the breath of everyone in the tavern was full of killing intent, and this killing intent was not just aimed at anyone, but formed a whole naturally exuding killing aura from the entire tavern.
At this moment, a strange man stepped through the door of the tavern and attracted everyone's attention, this person was wearing a rather strange gossip pattern mask and a black cloak coat, which made it impossible to distinguish the face, the only thing that could be seen was that the figure was quite tall. After seeing this person enter the tavern, many people in the tavern changed their faces slightly, and gradually clenched the weapons in their hands.
The strange man's eyes moved slightly, and after he sat down at random, he quietly drank the wine brewed from human blood in the tavern, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. A pair of beast-like pupils made the air almost condense, and the strange man just lifted the wine jar, poured scarlet blood wine into the glass, and then raised the wine glass and drank it all, his movements were chic and naturally not half frightened.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew from outside the tavern, and the door of the tavern slammed shut, and countless arrows mixed with the screaming sound of breaking through the air formed an impermeable wall, and they shot at the strange man in a dense manner. In the tavern, there were many figures in the tavern, swords and swords swaying endlessly, and a hoarse voice could be faintly heard in the chaos: "Kill the man with the mask!"
As he spoke, the owner of this voice instantly turned into a puff of blood mist and rushed towards the strange man, and the aura it revealed turned out to be a master of the Mahayana period. In the face of the attack from all directions, the strange man was not shocked, and with an understatement of his palm, a gossip pattern of demonic energy rolled together as if it was substantiated, and then he saw the gossip spinning, and the originally gloomy and evil demonic gossip actually shone with golden light and rose out of a righteous and peaceful aura, and completed the transformation of the demonic enlightenment in an instant.
I didn't look at the blood mist that came rushing in, and the gossip pattern derived by the strange man suddenly shone with golden light, and where the light reached, there were black lotus flowers filled with demonic energy, and as soon as this blood mist came into contact with the black lotus, it made a burning sound, and in an instant, the blood mist quickly retreated and let out a miserable scream, and then there were more sword lights and sword shadows surging.
The strange man was silent, but the wine glass in his hand suddenly floated a drop of blood wine, only this drop, but it seemed to contain the truth of heaven and earth, Zhao Zhen observed on the side, and saw that two figures seemed to gush out of a drop of blood wine, one was radiant and peaceful, and the other was demonic and weird and evil, the two figures just flashed and turned into a white and a black two rays of light shot out, and after a while, I saw that all the people who were wielding weapons and wanted to attack condensed, and spit blood at the same time with a poof.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but shrink his pupils, this strange person is definitely very unusual, he can actually contain the demon life dao, which shows that his profound understanding of the exercises is extraordinary. Dao and demons are not mutually exclusive, and this person can actually use demons to derive Tao and Tao to give birth to demons, if you have to use things as a metaphor, this is like making a fire in the water so incredible.
"Retreat!" Among these people with weapons, I don't know who shouted first, and suddenly the crowd dispersed, and only the stranger and Zhao Zhen were left in the entire tavern. Looking a little surprised, the strange man glanced at Zhao Zhen, slowly stood up, and then the figure suddenly faded and disappeared from Zhao Zhen's sight without a sound.
With a feeling in his heart, Zhao Zhen immediately walked out of the tavern, and at this moment, a group of people appeared in front of him. Led by several masters of the Blood Witch Clan, they were escorting dozens of people towards the Blood Witch Clan at the moment, most of these escorted people were injured, almost all of them were unkempt, and it seemed that they had been hijacked by these Blood Witch Clan masters.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help frowning, these Blood Witch Clan masters are powerful, and most of them are in the distraction period, and one of them is even in the merger stage, these people have a rather vicious appearance, and they are obviously not good. Just as Zhao Zhen was quietly observing a few people, the Blood Witch Clan's merger stage master began to scold and scold the others: "Hmph, how can Lao Tzu say that he is also a merge stage master, and he actually asked me to kidnap a group of juniors with low cultivation, it's simply insulting to me!"
"Big brother doesn't know, these people are used by the patriarch to cultivate secret arts, although the task given to us by the patriarch is simple, but it is extremely important, which shows that the patriarch attaches great importance to us. After hearing the words of the master of the merger period, a scar-faced Blood Witch Clan master said indifferently: "After the patriarch cultivates the secret art, there will be no need for human blood, presumably it will not treat us badly at that time!"
Hearing this, the master of the merging period was silent for a while, but then he nodded and said: "Let's go quickly, now that the blood pool is drying up, blood is in short supply, presumably the patriarch is already impatient!"
Saying that, these masters of the Blood Witch Clan had already escorted people into the Blood Witch Clan, Zhao Zhen looked up at the sky above the Blood Witch Clan that was shrouded in blood mist, and couldn't help but look slightly gloomy. I don't know what secret method the patriarch of the Blood Witch Clan is cultivating, and he wants to kill so many people to get blood, and even the sky is shrouded in blood mist. And just now, through the dialogue of those few Blood Witch Clan masters, I can hear that the Blood Witch Clan seems to have a blood pool that specializes in accumulating human blood.
It seems that the vicinity of the Blood Witch Clan has not been peaceful recently, and I don't know what happened to Li Ruoshui in this area of the Blood Witch Clan, whether he will meet these Blood Witch Clan masters who are arresting people everywhere to collect blood. However, these Blood Witch Clan masters seem to have to pick people when they collect blood, just now these Blood Witch Clan masters passed by here, and there were several juniors with low cultivation nearby, even Zhao Zhen was among them, but these Blood Witch Clan masters just glanced at it, and they didn't seem interested.
Turning his gaze to the location of the tavern, Zhao Zhen recalled the blood wine he had tasted in the tavern, the cup of blood wine was very turbid and had a lot of impurities, as if all the essence had been extracted. If the Blood Witch Clan only needs human blood, then the blood wine in the tavern will be scraped away by the Blood Witch Clan master before it can be brewed into wine, which shows that the Blood Witch Clan must be collecting extremely pure blood.
Which people's blood is extremely pure? Zhao Zhen is not good at making a detailed division, but the Wu clan is definitely impossible, in terms of the way the Wu clan cultivates, it is generally based on witchcraft, and most of the cultivation methods of these witchcraft are mainly psychic or spells, and the rest are basically innate abilities or inheritances.
In addition to the Wu Clan, most of the people in the Demon Sect are not pure enough in blood, because the cultivation method of Demon Cultivation is relatively radical, and the emphasis is on quickly improving strength, most of the various insidious and vicious exercises are short cultivation time and quick effect, as for the impurities in the blood, most of the Demon Cultivators will not care too much.
Excluding these two types of people, the rest is the Daomen monks, compared to the Wu clan and the Demon Gate, the cultivation method of the Daomen is peaceful, the emphasis is on steady and steady, the pursuit is the effect of water drops and stone wearing, compared to the Wu Clan and the Demon Gate, the Daomen monks will pay more attention to removing various impurities in the body, so that they have more pure spiritual power and blood.
The way the masters of the Blood Witch Clan identified the Daomen monks is unknown, but it is also judged by clothing, exercises and breath, maybe the Wu Clan can also use the divination technique to calculate, but this is obviously not necessary, although this is a wilderness, there are definitely a lot of Daomen monks walking around, and it is not necessary to catch some Daomen monks who are not highly cultivated.
Li Ruoshui may be difficult to find in a short period of time, Zhao Zhen didn't know where to look for it for a while, but when he thought of the witch clan's divination technique, Zhao Zhen's mind was inspired, if he could use the power of the witch clan's master to use the divination technique, then it should not be difficult to calculate Li Ruoshui's whereabouts.
With such thoughts, Zhao Zhen began to inquire about the news of the Wu clan's divination in the vicinity, but no matter which race of the Wu clan was, as soon as they heard Zhao Zhen inquire about the divination, they immediately became vigilant, and it seemed that the Wu clan was still quite repulsive to foreign races. In desperation, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to find some Wu people whose strength was weaker than his own, and used all kinds of coercion and temptation methods, only then did he hear some news related to divination from the mouth of a Wu clan.
According to this Wu people's confession, there is a master of the Wu clan who is proficient in divination near this blood witch clan, because the art of divination is also very rare in the Wu clan, so there are many people who ask for this person, but this person has a very strange personality, and there are many checkpoints set up in the residence, only those who pass the checkpoints are qualified to see him, and it is not easy to ask him for divination.
The place where this person lives is very close to the Blood Witch Clan, in a valley called Qilin Valley, this valley is said to have appeared in the legendary Honghuang mythical beast Qilin, so it was named Qilin Valley. After Zhao Zhen came to the outside of the Qilin Valley, he found that there was already a long queue of people at the mouth of the valley, and these people were undoubtedly asking the valley lord of the Qilin Valley for divination, because everyone was asking for people, so no matter how they cultivated, they had to lower their posture and line up, and the line was also orderly.
In front of Taniguchi stood two women dressed in witch costumes, and although the embroidery patterns on the costumes were the same, one was black and the other was white, and the two looked rather strange when they stood together. Zhao Zhen stood in the team and probed the cultivation of these two people, and found that both of them turned out to be masters of the Tribulation Period. Such a discovery made Zhao Zhen very surprised, the masters of the Tribulation Period were noble in the mortal world, and these two masters of the Tribulation Period were willing to be guards here, it seems that the valley master of Qilin Valley is not simple.
The long queue was moving very slowly, and during the queue, Zhao Zhen had already heard something, if he wanted to enter this Qilin Valley, he had to pass many assessments, and this first assessment was presided over by these two masters of the Tribulation Period, as long as the examiner put his hands into the two large vats at the same time without using spiritual power, and took out the two round stones in the jar with his bare hands.
Zhao Zhen observed the front, and found that there were two large vats in front of the two masters of the Tribulation Period, one of which was steaming hot, and the other was exuding a cold atmosphere, and a man at the top of the team walked to the two vats, and stretched his hands into the two vats respectively, but after a while, he grinned in pain and suddenly withdrew his hands, only to see that his hands were already seriously ulcerated, and the flesh and bones could be seen. The two Tribulation Period masters glanced at this person expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "Next!"
"Slow!" Hearing the two guards speak, the man at the peak of the tribulation stared at him, and shouted with the burning pain of his hands: "Today I will definitely see your valley master, whether I let me see it or not, I will see it!"
"Dare to go wild in the Qilin Valley and look for death!" Before the words of the peak man of the Tribulation fell, his figure flashed and wanted to break in, but the black-clothed guard snorted coldly, and before he could see his action, the next moment the figure of the black-clothed guard suddenly appeared in front of the peak man of the Tribulation, and in the man's frightened gaze, he was knocked upside down with a palm and vomited blood.
Such a clean and neat shot made many people present gasp, it was also the Tribulation Period, and the man at the peak of the Tribulation was as vulnerable as paper paste in front of the black-clothed guards, and everyone present at this moment no longer dared to have the idea of breaking in.
After passing through the black-clothed guard's action, the people present were much more honest, and they could only follow the meaning of Qilin Valley in a proper manner, and the crowd in line advanced quickly, and it was almost Zhao Zhen's turn after a while, and there was only one person in front of him. Standing behind this person, Zhao Zhen observed the other party intently, this person was a man in the fit period, his skin was quite rough, showing grayish white, Zhao Zhen could faintly judge from the faint aura emitted by this man, it seemed that his physique was very special.
The man slowly put his hand into the vat, only to see that the temperature of the originally hot vat dropped sharply, and the temperature of the cold vat increased sharply, and in an instant, the temperature of the two vat had become almost balanced, showing two vat of black water. The man grinned in satisfaction, and slowly reached down the vat with his hands, but after a moment, his expression changed, his shoulders suddenly trembled, and his face suddenly turned the color of pork liver. Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhen's eyes moved, and he found that after the man's hands stretched out to the two large tanks went deeper, the skin had begun to slowly become red and swollen, and even spread to the top of his arms.
These two vats seem to be divided into layers, the further down they go, the more difficult it is to go deeper, this first layer should just change the temperature, it can be said that in the face of this layer, even some mortal masters can withstand it, needless to say that the physique far exceeds that of mortal monks, and the second layer may be highly toxic, for some masters with special physique or proficient in pharmacology can also pass, as for the lower level Zhao Zhen is currently unknown, can only be observed through the reaction of the man in front.
At this moment, the man's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, gritted his teeth and continued to stretch his hand down, when the man's hands touched the third layer, suddenly the man was shocked like an electric shock, he could no longer bear it, and quickly pulled his hand out of the vat, at this moment, the fingertips of the man's hands have become charred black, if you hesitate for a moment, I am afraid that my fingers will not be protected.
"Next!" the black-clothed guard glanced at the man expressionlessly, and his voice came out indifferently. The man could only leave helplessly under the gaze of the black-clothed guard, while Zhao Zhen slowly stepped forward and looked at the two large vat in front of him with a solemn expression.
