Chapter 562: Chapter 557: Blood Python Appears

"Young Sect Leader,"

Elder Tie approached a black-robed youth with a cold expression and said gloomily as he looked at Ye Xuan, "The one who injured me last time, that boy, he also killed quite a few of our Great Wilderness Sect’s disciples. Even I personally witnessed this beast brutally murdering one of our female disciples."

"Is that so?"

The eyebrows of the black-robed youth raised as he sized up Ye Xuan. After a brief scan, he expressed his surprise, "This person doesn’t look like someone who would do such a thing. Plus, the woman by his side is quite remarkable. It seems somewhat unreasonable, doesn’t it?"

Hearing this, Elder Tie’s expression slightly changed. He hadn’t expected the other party to see through his deceit so quickly.

However, at that moment, Lu Yuan also spoke. He shook his head and exchanged a look with Elder Tie, saying, "Brother Yin, it is said that appearances can be deceiving. The truth is indeed as you see. This young man is arrogant and dismissive of our Great Wilderness Sect. I, too, have suffered greatly at his hands, being mercilessly humiliated, and several of our disciples have died by his hand."

The two had long conspired together, attributing the deaths of those disciples in the Blood River Valley to Ye Xuan.

"This man is deliberately provoking us."

A chill emerged in Yin Zongli’s eyes. As the saying goes, a lie told often enough becomes the truth. Initially, he could have ignored Elder Tie’s words alone, but now that even Lu Yuan said the same, he couldn’t overlook it anymore.

"The Dragon Blood is about to appear; we’ll deal with this boy later."

Yin Zongli had intended to deal with Ye Xuan right then, but at that moment, in the center of the Dragon Blood Pond under the penetrating sunlight, unusual movements began to appear.

"What is this..."

Lin Wan’s gaze quickly shifted to the center of the Dragon Blood Pond, her face filled with astonishment.

"The Dragon Blood grows strong by absorbing the power of sunlight, and it’s almost fully mature. Though it’s just a bit short, by tomorrow at the latest, the Dragon Blood will surface. That will be the best opportunity to fight for it."

Ye Xuan looked gravely at the surface of the water and then warned, "You must not take action later; this battle is not something you can intervene in."

"Okay."

Lin Wan was aware of her limitations. Although she had recovered her talents and abilities, there was still a large gap between her and Ye Xuan. The individuals here were all famous figures from the Spirit Light Domain, and her current power was nowhere near comparable to theirs.

Ye Xuan, who had noticed the actions of the Great Wilderness Sect, didn’t seem much concerned. In the sect, only Yin Zongli was worthy of his attention; the rest were negligible. If they dared to harbor ill intentions, Ye Xuan would certainly not hold back; he wouldn’t show mercy a second time.

Time passed quickly in this tense atmosphere, and the sun in the sky also slanted increasingly lower. Slowly, in the center of the Blood Pond, an array emerged with a sun-like pattern appearing at its core.

Buzz!

Just as the sun-like pattern was about to be completed, everyone could feel the spiritual energy of the deep Blood River Valley suddenly intensifying. The ground trembled slightly, and ripples appeared in the calm Dragon Blood Pond, with beams of light continuously emitting from the center of the pond.

"Is it coming out now..."

Ye Xuan’s eyes brightened; it seemed that the Dragon Blood was about to fully mature.

Heat surged in everyone else’s eyes as well.

Boom!

The trembling in the center of the Blood Pond grew more and more intense, and the light emanating from the ground also became stronger. Eventually, sudden cracks spread from the island, and following that, a pool of mud floated to the surface of the water.

On top of the mud, a sprout green as a newborn baby rose from the ground. As it rapidly grew, its color changed, transforming into a red, dragon-shaped herb.

The dragon-shaped herb stopped growing after a few minutes, ultimately reaching over a meter tall. After the herb had fully taken shape, the sound of a dragon’s chant echoed around, shaking the earth and the mountains.

"Dragon Blood!"

On the other side of the Blood Pond, whether it was Ao Feng, Yin Zongli, or the Shadowless Swordsman, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes; obtaining what was before them would undoubtedly enhance their strength!

However, although the Dragon Blood had appeared, nobody stepped forward, as most knew of the Blood Python’s presence in the Dragon Blood Pond. It had guarded the Dragon Blood for so long and would certainly not let it fall into their hands.

Around the Blood Pond, fiery red eyes stared intently at the dragon-shaped blood herb in the center of the pond. Resembling a small dragon, it emitted an extremely domineering pure energy, continuously attracting their gazes.

Everyone’s breathing grew heavier, but surprisingly, no one immediately made a move, and Ye Xuan, seeing this, was in no hurry. He knew someone would eventually become impatient. Not everyone could remain rational in front of a treasure.

Swish!

Ye Xuan’s guess was correct. Although everyone present knew obtaining the Dragon Blood was no easy task, the appearance of such a marvelous item fired up even some of those who were usually patient. Thus, in just a few minutes, someone could no longer contain the fervor in their heart; dozens of figures violently surged forward, madly rushing toward the center of the Dragon Blood Pond.

Ye Xuan watched those figures shoot out, and as their forms surged into the sky above the Blood Pond, his eyes suddenly hardened.

Boom!

A loud noise erupted, and the Blood Pond suddenly exploded, sending huge columns of water into the air. From these columns, black, sharp water spears shot out, covering the sky and targeting the figures in mid-air.

Hiss!

The sharp water spears, evidently containing extremely fierce power, immediately caused some unlucky individuals to be slashed, bleeding from the cuts. Suddenly, shrill screams broke out as the wounds darkened rapidly, and their bodies rapidly decayed, clearly poisoned by a terrible toxin.

Plop!

One by one, the figures fell into the Dragon Blood Pond amid the agonizing screams, eventually being dragged deep into the pond, their screams vanishing with them.

Bang!

Just as all the figures had fallen into the Blood Pond, colossal waves once again swept through the Dragon Blood Pond’s center. Then, everyone saw a massive Blood Shadow swiftly emerge from the water and, with a thunderous roar, burst forth.

Roar!

A colossal creature breached the water surface, casting a shadow over a hundred-yard radius, filling the air with a ferocious aura.

Around the Dragon Blood Pond, everyone looked at the massive creature that had finally revealed itself, and their expressions grew solemn.

"No wonder it’s the Blood Python. If it devours this Dragon Blood, it might well break through to a Holy-grade lineage and become a true member of the Dragon Clan..."

Ye Xuan watched the enormous Blood Python in front of him and took a deep breath. From its body, he sensed an utterly dangerous aura. Moreover, inside the Blood Python, he felt a fluctuation similar to that within himself; it was the aura of the Dragon Clan...

Once the Blood Python devoured the Dragon Blood, it could transform, but judging from the current situation, it seemed not so easy.
