Chapter 305 - 300: Main and Subsidiary Veins of the Essence Blood Vein

Chapter 305: Chapter 300: Main and Subsidiary Veins of the Essence Blood Vein

Ever since her master, the Blood-Lettered Divine Monarch, had transmitted techniques to her through his mind, Balofi had been in a daze, sleeping soundly for a whole day.

Her memory told her that after each transmission in these past few years, this always happened. It was because her cultivation level was too low to bear the transmission of techniques through her master’s divine thought.

She fell asleep dreamily, each dream filled with snippets of her time with her master over the years. It felt like a dream, yet also like a hazy memory of the past years.

The image of her master in her memory gradually sharpened from blurred to clear.

His calm, Confucian-style elegance, the occasional faint, spring-breeze-like smiles that were only directed at her;

The scholar’s robe worn for decades without change;

And the Blood Jade Book he never let out of his hands.

All became so clear, ingrained in her bone marrow and deeply imprinted in her soul. It was heart-wrenching.

Over fifty years, many memories were forgotten, but every bit with her master wasn’t. Like a movie playing in her mind, they became clearer and clearer.

"Master!" In her daze, she muttered like a girl in love.

The next moment, she woke up violently.

When she opened her eyes again, all confusion was gone, and she had a new outlook on life and the world. She was still her, but her spirit was not the same as before.

Her body didn’t change, but her mind was completely turned upside down.

Yet, she didn’t notice a single thing.

After waking up, she felt incredibly light and relieved, feeling reborn.

"Master’s mental technique transmission is becoming more and more profound!"

Her memory told her that the reason for her rapid cultivation progress over the years was due to occasional transmissions from her master, the Blood-Lettered Divine Monarch.

In a low voice, she got up, opened the window, discovering that it was already late night again, unbeknownst to her.

She had actually slept for an entire day today!

"Damn, the task master assigned to me, oh no!"

With a gasp, she jumped directly through the window, blending into and rapidly disappeared in the night.

······

The woods in the Eastern Suburb of Jingxue Pulse.

When Balofi hurried to the task location, she spotted four kids carrying a bone chariot in the void, with a man in his fifties sitting on top.

"Shui Ling! You’re seven minutes late!" The man looked at Balofi and said with a frown.

"Is it Demonic Child Senior Brother?" Balofi probed.

"Did your Charm Summon for hidden faction members show anybody else?" The Elder Demon Child replied.

"I’m sorry. I was delayed. Please don’t be upset, senior brother." As she said this, she saw the elder float down from the chariot, which turned into a talisman and flew into his body. She said:

"Senior Brother is quite capable, even mastering the Five Ghosts Martial Uncle’s signature skill, the Five Blessings Child. It seems like you’re on the verge of reaching the Perfected Realm!"

Her memory told her that her master, the Blood-Lettered Divine Monarch, was a hidden Monarch, rarely known to others in the sect. In fifty years, she had only met another hidden faction member besides her master, who was the Five Ghosts God King, also a close friend of the master’s.

According to today’s hidden faction task display, the man standing right in front of her, who looked a bit older, was the favored disciple of the Five Ghosts Martial Uncle: Demonic Child!

"My master has many disciples, but we can’t compare to Shui Ling Junior Sister. The Blood Lettered Martial Uncle only took you in." The Elder Demon Child humbly responded.

"Our Master is mostly just too mild-mannered and dislikes trouble!" Balofi said, blushing a little as she changed the subject:

"Let’s go and do our task. Funny enough, I’ve only taken a few unofficial hidden faction tasks before. This is my first formal mission."

The Demonic Child Elder took a serious look at her, his gaze deep, his expression enigmatic.

The power of false Dao with Tao Fruit Blessings is quite terrifying!

"Why is Senior Brother Demonic Child staring at me? Is anything wrong with me?" Balofi asked when she noticed the elder was just looking at her and not reacting.

"Will Junior Sister go like this? Even if Blood Lettered Martial Uncle didn’t tell you the rules of the hidden faction, you should have known it from the information in the order symbol, right?" The Elder Demon Child replied.

"Ah? Oh! I almost forgot about changing my appearance! But that was because you are a disciple of Five Ghosts Martial Uncle!" Balofi quickly changed her appearance, her face rippling like water.

Seeing this, the Demonic Child Elder said no more and headed straight for a specific location in the Jingxue Pulse East District.

Balofi immediately followed after seeing this.

······

In the most core courtyard or mansion in the East District of the Jingxue Pulse.

As the deputy head of the Jingxue Pulse, the place was rich in spiritual energy, with a third-grade spiritual vein node. The courtyard was filled with small bridges and flowing water, surrounded by artificial mountains, elegantly laid out.

However, Gou Hongyuan, who was in such an environment, was restless tonight. He dismissed all the servants in the courtyard early in the morning and started anxiously waiting alone.

As the Jingxue Pulse’s deputy head, he knew about the Disciple Recruitment Team half a year ago. He even indirectly participated by helping the Ghost Spirit point out a few people who could be marked for the Recruitment Team.

After none of the Recruitment Teams had had an accident and the people in the pulse silently disappeared, and the Ghost Spirit Hall Master went quiet, although nothing seemed to have happened on the surface, he was privately panicked.

Several times, he had wanted to just pack up and run away.

In the end, he made himself endure. Firstly, he held onto a glimmer of hope, and secondly, he knew that running away was futile. Wanyu knew everything about him. If his betrayal was discovered, he would not be able to escape from his Perfected Martial Uncle’s pursuit.

Half a year went by hurriedly. He went from panic to gradual calmness, and finally to joy.

When he thought the Ghost Spirit had died and nobody would know about his betrayal, he suddenly received news from above. He was to meet tonight, directly in his courtyard.

All signs indicated that the Ghost Spirit should be dead, but there was a successor. Therefore, he was waiting anxiously for the verdict of his fate.

Suddenly, his expression shifted, looking sharply to the side.

At the courtyard wall, an old Taoist and a woman both floated into the courtyard, looking directly at him.

"Water Ghost?" Gou Hongyuan looked at the two of them, eventually focusing his gaze on the gray-clad old Taoist that he couldn’t determine the cultivation of, and tentatively asked.

Balofi, hearing this address, showed no reaction.

But the Demonic Child Elder had no intention of polite, he pulled out an order symbol that caused Gou Hongyuan’s pupils to contract, and without waiting for Gou Hongyuan to respond, the Demonic Child activated the symbol with a slight move of mana.

"Ah...." Gou Hongyuan stiffened, as if someone had grabbed his lifeblood, he lost his ability to move.

He was not someone who had been raised by the Bone Soul Sect from childhood, he was originally a disciple of Wanyu. Due to some reasons, he was injured, and then seduced by others, losing his freedom.

He belonged to the Ghost Spirit’s development personnel, so all the restricting means came from the Ghost Spirit.

The Ghost Spirit didn’t have top-level things like the Devil’s Oath, so they just crudely made a soul control card. What Wang Zijia had in his hand was something he got from Balofi.

"I am not sure where I have offended Mr. Water Ghost!" Gou Hongyuan, his body stiff, his forehead breaking out in cold sweat, his face pale, asked.

"Hehe, Demonic Child senior brother, he’s still thinking about working for the Devil’s Gate, why don’t we just not give him this chance of Shadow? I’ll bear witness and report that he has no intention of repenting." Balofi looked at Gou Hongyuan and laughed.

Seeing this, Gou Hongyuan’s pupils contracted to the size of a needle point. His mind trembled violently, his face turned even paler.

The Demonic Child Elder shook his head and didn’t say a word. He came to the side of Gou Hongyuan, whose body had stiffened. Under Gou Hongyuan’s desperate gaze, he handed him a pill of unknown efficacy.

It was not known whether it was due to the horrible efficacy of the pill or the control of the soul control card, he didn’t feel any abnormality at all.

Until a moment later, he only felt a slight panic, and then felt nothing.

But at this moment, Demonic Child Elder not only released him from control but also destroyed the soul control card in front of him, giving him freedom.

With a look of astonishment, he took two steps back and looked at the Demonic Child Elder and the unknown female cultivator incredulously.

But now the Demonic Child Elder didn’t care about him, slightly lost in thought, he came to his Chaotic Sea of Knowledge.

The first thing he did was to check and found that besides a demon soul probe that had lost its function, there was also a Heart Ghost Charm. It seemed that the Ghost Spirit didn’t trust him. They used three control methods openly and secretly.

After exchanging all of them, Wang Zijia began to check his specific information.

Name: Gou Hongyuan

Cultivation: Late Stage Sacrificial Wine

Dao cultivation: 300 years (200 million/200 million)

Dao Foundation: Blood Spirit (Fifth Grade)

Cultivation Method: Universe Law Canon (Perfected Realm)

Magic Door: Blood Spirit Blood Control Technique······

This Gou Hongyuan was actually at the peak of the Sacrificial Wine stage and was in a period of breakthrough to the Perfected Realm. In addition, he was the deputy master of the Jingxue Pulse, no wonder the Ghost Spirit was so concerned about him.

After checking his weights once more, Wang Zijia finally withdrew from his Chaotic Sea of Knowledge.

······

"Senior Brother, what is this?" In the outside world, Gou Hongyuan, who had just escaped from control and was confused, asked cautiously.

"Hehe, Demonic Child Senior Brother, he still has lingering hopes and wants to muddle through. Why don’t we just give him to the Law Enforcement Team? It’sestimated that even if this kind of person is included in the Hidden Faction’s Shadow, they can only make up the numbers!" Balofi looked at Gou Hongyuan and laughed lightly.

Gou Hongyuan was taut all over. However, Demonic Child Elder shook his head and said: "The master personally told me that if the people under Ghost Spirit’s control do not commit serious sins, they can be included in Shadow to atone for their sins. There is no need to be too harsh."

In the midst of his speech, he raised his hand, and a charm summon vanished into Gou Hongyuan’s body and disappeared.

Gou Hongyuan quickly dodged and activated several defenses, but none of them worked.

The moment the charm summon entered his body, a mental symbol appeared in his mind and along with it, some information surfaced too.

Hidden Faction’s Shadow?

Dead servant of the Sect?

Atonement?

His betrayal of the Sect had been discovered, but he was not sent to the Demon Suppressing Tower, nor was he executed on the spot. He was demoted to be on standby as a dead servant.

"Understood?" When Gou Hongyuan had just finished receiving the information in his mind and returned to his senses, Demonic Child Elder asked indifferently.

Gou Hongyuan looked up dazedly and nodded at the Demonic Child Elder.
