Chapter 381 The Enemy of the Enemy

Seeing that this blood spirit couldn't even defeat the lowest-level blood spirit, Jin Taohua felt it was useless and stopped paying attention to it, letting the blood spirit devour Chen Guan.

But then he suddenly heard Chen Guan's voice, and was slightly startled before looking up at Chen Guan again.

"This blood spirit can actually speak... and even knows how to ask for help..." Just as Chen Guan was about to be torn apart by the blood spirit, Jin Taohua waved her hand, causing the blood spirit to retreat to the side.

"You still have your own consciousness? Who were you in your previous life?" Jin Taohua asked Chen Guan.

"I don't know... I forgot..." Chen Guan knew that if he wanted to live, he had to make Jin Taohua think he was special, but not too special, otherwise he would not escape being killed on the spot.

"What do you remember?" Jin Taohua frowned slightly.

“I want revenge…” Chen Guan said.

"What revenge? To kill me?" Jin Taohua frowned even more deeply.

"Heavenly King... I hate... I want revenge..." Chen Guan said.

"Who is your enemy, Heavenly King?" Jin Taohua asked, somewhat surprised, after a moment's thought.

“I…I don’t know…” Chen Guan said.

"What grudge do you have against that Heavenly King?" Jin Taohua continued to ask.

“Book…Secret…Heavenly King…Snatch…” Chen Guan said haltingly, trying his best to play the role of a blood spirit who had lost most of his memories.

"Does the Heavenly King want to steal your secret techniques or your secret manual?" Jin Taohua became interested.

"Secret...and..." Chen Guan mumbled incoherently.

"Do you still remember what it said?" Jin Taohua didn't understand what Chen Guan was talking about.

“Death…I remember…” Chen Guan said.

“Okay…recite it from memory…” Jin Taohua gave the order directly.

Chen Guan dared not hesitate for a moment. He had to make Jin Taohua believe that he was a Blood Spirit who obeyed orders 100% and had only accidentally retained some memories.

The content that Chen Guan recited was the "Imperial Scripture," which is the dual cultivation method.

As Jin Taohua listened, the expression on her seemingly eternally cold face gradually changed.

Chen Guan is now stalling for as long as possible, hoping to wait until Da Luo Mengdie takes him back.

"When the Heavenly King obtained the Great Luo Dream Butterfly, he was able to go to the Jade Palace of the Immortals and also obtained a copy of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Scripture. How come when it comes to me, I have to give up a copy of the Imperial Scripture instead..." Chen Guan felt depressed.

Fortunately, he was just a spirit and had no expression on his face, so there was no need to worry about him being noticed.

As Chen Guan recited the text, he was thinking about how he could stall for time if the female demon tried to kill him.

"If all else fails, I can memorize the original text of the First Secret Technique. That's over ten thousand words. I should be able to memorize it until the Great Luo Dream Butterfly takes me back, right?" Chen Guan thought to himself.

Jin Taohua's expression shifted constantly. As a person of great stature, she naturally understood the profound meaning of the "Imperial Scripture".

This is clearly a dual cultivation method, but even Jin Taohua finds the intricacies of this method somewhat unbelievable.

"There is such a powerful dual cultivation method in the world. Not only does it not harm others for personal gain, but it can also complement each other and achieve the state of yin and yang in harmony and all laws returning to oneness."

The more Jin Taohua listened, the more mysterious it seemed. She was somewhat taken aback by the other parts, but when she heard the final chapter, "Ascension in the Bright Sun," she was utterly astonished. If one were to master this "Imperial Scripture" to the very end, it could actually break through the Great Cave Heaven realm and directly ascend to another profound level.

Lower-level cultivators may not understand what this means.

Jin Taohua knew perfectly well that if this secret technique was genuine, it would be no wonder that a Heavenly King would come to snatch it.

The Great Cave Heaven is the limit of human cultivation, but it is not the limit of the Mystic Spirits.

Within the Great Cave Heaven, humanity is constantly threatened by mysterious spirits from beyond the heavens, and their situation is not as idyllic as ordinary people imagine.

Rather than saying that the Ten Heavenly Kings are the masters of the Great Grotto-Heaven, it would be more accurate to say that the Ten Heavenly Kings are merely the gatekeepers of the Great Grotto-Heaven.

The true master of the Great Cave Heaven is the Mysterious Spirit. The power of human cultivators is insignificant within the Great Cave Heaven.

It was only because the Ten Heavenly Kings used their power to carve out a small space within the Great Cave Heaven that human cultivators had a foothold; otherwise, they would have had no ability to establish themselves within the Great Cave Heaven.

The pinnacle of human achievement is the Ten Heavenly Kings, and even the Ten Heavenly Kings find it difficult to advance further.

The shock Jin Taohua felt at the fact that this secret technique contained cultivation methods from the Great Cave Heaven was unimaginable.

"If one could cultivate this secret technique, wouldn't one be able to transcend the Ten Heavenly Kings and wipe them all out?" Jin Taohua's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"But this is a dual cultivation method, how can I cultivate it?" Jin Taohua thought and was troubled again.

The dual cultivation method naturally requires two people to practice, and she was all alone, so having this secret method would be of no use to her.

Jin Taohua's gaze fell on Chen Guan, pondering the origin of this Blood Spirit and why it was within the Blood Spirit Banner.

Was it already in the Blood Spirit Banner, or was it just taken from the Heavenly Void Palace?

It's unlikely that she was inside the Blood Spirit Banner before, even though there are countless blood spirits inside the Blood Spirit Banner, and she couldn't possibly have seen them all.

However, she had a number of victories using the Blood Spirit Banner, so if there was such a special Blood Spirit, it was impossible that she hadn't noticed it at all.

“It seems that he may have just been recruited from Tianxu Palace, but how could a disciple of Tianxu Palace be so weak? If he was really recruited from Tianxu Palace, then there is only one possibility.” Jin Taohua looked at Chen Guan, her gaze gradually softening.

She believed that the reason why this blood spirit was so weak must be because it had suffered extremely serious injuries, which made its blood and soul very weak.

What kind of person would be in the Heavenly Void Palace, and be so weak?

That could only mean a prisoner held captive by Tianxu Palace, and one who had been tortured, resulting in a state of depletion of vital energy and blood, as well as damage to the soul.

Based on what Chen Guan just said, Jin Taohua could deduce that the Heavenly King's enemy that Chen Guan mentioned was very likely the Heavenly King of Tianxu Palace.

The Heavenly King imprisoned this man here and tortured him in every way possible, all in order to extract the "Imperial Scripture" from him.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. What even the Heavenly King Gong couldn't obtain unexpectedly fell into the hands of Jin Taohua.

The enemy of my enemy may not necessarily be my friend, but Jin Taohua is in a very good mood right now and finds Chen Guan much more agreeable.

"Let's heal him first; maybe we can get more information that way." With a thought, Jin Taohua summoned another blood spirit, which flew towards Chen Guan.

When Chen Guan saw Jin Taohua summon another blood spirit to pounce on him, he thought that Jin Taohua was trying to kill him to silence him.

Who knew that while the Blood Spirit was in the air, Jin Taohua struck out with her palm, and the blood light hit the Blood Spirit, causing its body to shatter into countless particles that surged toward Chen Guan.
