Chapter 2043 - 2043 2033 Watching Intently

2043: Chapter 2033: Watching Intently 2043: Chapter 2033: Watching Intently “What are your thoughts?”

Meng Qianning asked Long Yan.

Long Yan pondered, and after a while, said, “We entered the Secret Territory of Shadow of Blood to obtain the Innate Blood Fruits.

If I’m not mistaken, the Blood Spirit King will definitely wait for the Innate Blood Fruits to mature before making a move on us.

Five days, for the Blood Spirit King, should be more than enough.”

“If the Innate Blood Fruits end up in the hands of the Blood Spirit King, we’ll be in even more danger.

We should find a way to get close to the Blood Pool.

Once the Innate Blood Fruits are ripe, at the very least, we can’t let the Blood Spirit King get them.”

That was Long Yan’s true intention.

He wanted to get the Innate Blood Fruits.

Although it was risky, it wasn’t completely without a chance.

“Then we shall be extra careful not to be discovered by the Innate Blood Spirits.”

Meng Qianning nodded, deeming Long Yan’s suggestion feasible.

Once they reached an agreement, the two of them concealed themselves and quietly made their way toward the Blood Pool.

The closer they got to the Blood Pool, the more numerous the Innate Blood Spirits became.

Approaching the Blood Pool was not an easy task.

Half a day later, Long Yan and Meng Qianning encountered Yang Xing in a mountain hollow.

“You’re actually still alive?”

Yang Xing looked at Meng Qianning and Long Yan with an extremely solemn expression.

He had fought his way out that day, but he sustained serious injuries.

He had been hiding here to recover, and he was almost fully healed now.

What he didn’t expect was that not only were Meng Qianning and Long Yan alive, but they also seemed to be completely unharmed.

“Not only am I not dead, but I’ve also broken through to the Fourth Rank God King.”

Meng Qianning’s aura fluctuated as she directly revealed her Cultivation Base.

“Fourth Rank God King!”

Yang Xing’s expression became even more severe.

“Yang Xing, I treated you well, yet you betrayed me.

Do you have anything to say?”

Meng Qianning said coldly.

She would never let Yang Xing off the hook; he had almost killed her.

“Run!”

The only thought in Yang Xing’s mind was to flee.

He spun around abruptly and bolted away.

“Do you think you can escape?”

Meng Qianning snorted coldly, she was well prepared and had no intention of letting Yang Xing get away.

Thanks to her superiority in Cultivation Base, Meng Qianning’s speed was faster.

In the time it took for two breaths, she caught up with Yang Xing and unleashed a powerful move against him.

In an instant, the two were engaged in a fierce battle.

Bang bang bang bang…

Yang Xing was clearly no match for Meng Qianning and was quickly suppressed.

The difference of two realms was a completely overwhelming battle.

In less than thirty breaths, Yang Xing was thoroughly defeated.

In the blink of an eye, Meng Qianning released a stream of Sword Qi that pierced through Yang Xing’s body, extinguishing his lifeforce.

“Let’s go, some Innate Blood Spirits are approaching.”

Long Yan said to Meng Qianning.

He sensed that several Innate Blood Spirits were on their way here.

The two disappeared quickly.

Indeed, less than ten breaths after they left, five Innate Blood Spirits arrived beside Yang Xing’s corpse.

As time passed day by day, the time for the Innate Blood Fruits to mature drew closer, and Long Yan and Meng Qianning thought of every possible way to get closer to the Blood Pool.

Deep in the Secret Territory of Shadow of Blood, enveloped in the thick aura of innate blood, a blood pool was hidden within.

The Blood Pool was a hundred feet in circumferece, like a small lake.

Bubbles the size of adult heads constantly emerged from the Pool, bursting and spreading the innate blood aura.

Next to the Blood Pool, the Blood Spirit King quietly waited.

There were less than four hours left before the Innate Blood Fruits would be ripe.

At this moment, in the dark, two pairs of eyes were staring at the Blood Pool.

The owners of these eyes were none other than Long Yan and Meng Qianning.

The two had successfully approached the Blood Pool, which was a narrow escape with no alarm.

“Indeed, God King Fifth Level in cultivation base,” Long Yan assessed the Blood Spirit King in the shadows, concluding that the Blood Spirit King was at the God King Fifth Level.

“Do you really have any assurance?” Meng Qianning asked softly.

Snatching or destroying the Innate Blood Fruit right under the Blood Spirit King’s nose was certainly not a simple or easy feat.

“We can only take the risk and try,” Long Yan replied.

He wasn’t certain either, but for the Innate Blood Fruit’s sake, they had to take the gamble.

“Alright then, once the Innate Blood Fruit is ripe, we will act according to plan,” Meng Qianning said.

She and Long Yan had already discussed a strategy and were only waiting for the Innate Blood Fruit to ripen.

In another direction, three pairs of eyes were also watching the Blood Pool: Lan Feng, Qin Qiu, and a second Rank God King youth.

“Young Master Feng, are we really going ahead with this?” the youth asked quietly.

There was a contract between Lan Feng and the Blood Spirit King beforehand, and taking action to snatch away would mean breaking the contract.

“Let’s see how it goes.

If we get the chance, naturally we shouldn’t let it pass; if not, we’ll give up,” Lan Feng said.

The Innate Blood Fruit was a rare treasure, and if he could obtain it, he would be able to breakthrough to the God King Fifth Level.

Such an opportunity was not something he was willing to let go of easily.

Besides, he had a premonition that Meng Qianning wasn’t dead and that, like him, she was probably hiding in the shadows, waiting for the Innate Blood Fruit to mature.

If Meng Qianning made a move to snatch the Innate Blood Fruit, she could restrain the Blood Spirit King, providing him a chance to seize it.

“The Blood Spirit King is too strong.

Snatching the Innate Blood Fruit right under her nose won’t be easy.” The youth harbored doubts inwardly, completely lacking confidence.

Qin Qiu, staring intently at the Blood Pool, also coveted the Innate Blood Fruit.

Meng Qianning was already at the Fourth Rank God King, and he needed to breakthrough to at least the Fourth Rank God King level if he wanted revenge.

For him, the Innate Blood Fruit represented a rare chance.

…

Blood Shadow Sect, a main hall hidden amidst the clouds.

An elderly man was sitting cross-legged, emanating a formidable presence, clearly showing he was a Divine Emperor powerhouse.

This elderly man was the Supreme Elder of the Blood Shadow Sect, Lan Qianzhong.

“Did Yu Luoqi really align herself with Meng Shentong?” Lan Qianzhong inquired, his voice bearing an air of authority.

“Yes,” the Law Enforcement Hall Master replied.

“Long Yan joined the Sect Master’s camp and behind him stands Yu Luoqi.

Yu Luoqi has certainly chosen to side with Meng Shentong.

Without Meng Shentong’s support, Yu Luoqi couldn’t have possibly advanced to God King Level 7 so quickly.”

Yu Luoqi siding with the Sect Master’s camp was somewhat disadvantageous to them.

“Supreme Elder, with Yu Luoqi joining the Sect Master’s camp, some of the previously neutral Elders will surely lean towards Meng Shentong, which is extremely unfavorable for us.”

If the Supreme Elder’s camp were suppressed, their situation would be very perilous.

After all, they truly dreaded the shadow of the Heavenly Gate Sect behind Meng Shentong.

“Meng Shentong is now attempting to breakthrough to Divine Emperor.

If he succeeds, Blood Shadow Sect will truly face a changing of the guard,” Lan Qianzhong’s expression became quite solemn.

Before, Meng Shentong had to be wary of him, considering the Heavenly Gate Sect couldn’t visibly interfere with the affairs of Blood Shadow Sect and had to plot in secret.

However, once Meng Shentong successfully breaks through to Divine Emperor, he would be able to truly stand on equal footing with him.
