Chapter 178 When you lack talent, think of your people

Yao Ling frowned deeply and asked, "What is this thing?"

"This thing is called Blood Skull Gu, which is an evil secret technique that has been passed down since ancient times and has now been lost."

In this day and age, only I and that sword-wielding fellow know how to forge it.

However, he prides himself on being righteous and would never use such a thing; you can only obtain this Blood Skull Gu from me.

"I do not need."

Yao Ling said coldly.

"What's the rush? I haven't explained the effects of this item yet. You can make your decision after you understand it."

Su Yun smiled faintly: "With your current perspective, you probably think that the bloodline of a Dou Di cannot be enhanced by external objects, right?"

Yao Ling felt a surge of displeasure upon hearing this and said, "Isn't that so?"

The bloodline of the Dou Di (Battle Emperor) can only improve naturally with age; there is no possibility of it being elevated by external means. This is an ironclad rule!

"What if I told you that this Blood Skull Gu could further enhance your Dou Di bloodline?"

"impossible!"

Yao Ling suddenly looked up, her expression changing drastically, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Yao Ling's reaction deepened Su Yun's smile.

"The Blood Skull Gu is very easy to use."

As long as you slaughter your relatives, extract their blood to purify the blood spring in the Gu, and then use this condensed blood spring to nourish your body, your bloodline will naturally become stronger.

The more clansmen one kills, the purer one's bloodline becomes. A peak ninth-grade bloodline is easily attainable... even a divine-grade bloodline is not out of reach.

Yao Ling was shocked. If this thing really had the effects that Su Yun said, then it was truly an evil thing that deserved to be exterminated!

The first name that came to mind for Yao Ling was one that had long been forgotten by the Dou Qi Continent.

The Devouring Spirit Clan!
The Devouring Spirit Clan lives by devouring the bloodlines of other imperial clans in order to perpetuate their own bloodline foundation. Their actions are insidious and their methods are ruthless. Such a clan can be called the common enemy of the imperial clans!
It was precisely because of this evil power that many ancient powerful clans could no longer tolerate it. They joined forces to launch a siege and eradicate the Devouring Spirit Clan. Only when there was no one left alive in the clan was this malignant tumor finally eradicated.

Even for the Devouring Spirit Clan, their ability to devour the bloodline of the imperial clan ultimately stems from their own innate talent and cannot be passed on to others.

In contrast, this Blood Skull Gu...

A flicker of fear crossed Yao Ling's eyes.

This thing can actually transform this ability to plunder bloodlines into tools that everyone can use! This Blood Skull Gu is a hundred times more terrifying than the Devouring Spirit Clan of yesteryear, posing a threat to the ancient imperial race!
"and many more……"

Yao Ling suddenly realized something and said coldly, "This thing can only be used to kill one's own people to purify one's bloodline?"

"good."

Su Yun's face revealed an eerie and sinister expression: "Since you are born into the Medicine Clan, you can only slaughter members of the Medicine Clan to purify your bloodline. Killing people from other imperial clans is useless."

"How is this possible!"

Yao Ling's face suddenly lost all color, and even her voice trembled slightly.

Undeniably, a slight wavering did pass through her heart the moment she heard about the Blood Skull Gu's usage... If simply slaughtering foreign races could elevate one's own bloodline, it didn't seem unacceptable.

But... how could you slaughter your own people!

Su Yun's expression was a half-smile: "You don't want it?"

"I do not need!"

Yao Ling coldly replied.

"Is that so?" Su Yun didn't say anything more, but simply raised his hand and slightly turned his palm. The crystal-clear Blood Skull Gu then fell straight down.

Yao Ling's pupils contracted slightly, and her body seemed to move out of control. Almost instinctively, she stretched out her palm and steadily caught the Blood Skull Gu in her hand.

A cool sensation traveled from the Gu worm to her fingertips. She stared in astonishment at the Gu worm shaped like an infant's skull in her palm.

“That’s right… When you lack talent, think of your people.”

Su Yun's words, like the whispers of a demon, lingered in Yao Ling's ears.

"No! I will never use this!"

Yao Ling snapped back to reality, shaking her head violently as if trying to shake Su Yun's seduction out of her mind, while her palm clenched tightly around the Blood Skull Gu.

"Then what are you still holding onto it for?"

"me……"

Yao Ling's lips trembled, her face grew paler, and her fingertips turned white from the force she exerted. She frantically searched for an excuse, and it took her a long time to come up with one.

Yao Ling hurriedly defended himself, "I'm going to destroy it! I absolutely cannot let this evil thing fall into the hands of bad people and harm even more people!"

Su Yun raised an eyebrow and held out her palm: "If you don't need it, give it back to me. There are plenty of people who need it."

"no!"

"Ah."

Su Yun's laughter rang out at the right moment, and he slowly lowered his hand: "Alright then."

The item has been given to you. As for whether to use it, and how to use it... that's up to you.

Yao Ling stared intently at Su Yun, already having a guess about his identity.

Her expression was resolute: "You... are the son of the dragon and the phoenix!"

Su Yun calmly said, "Smart. Now that you know my identity, what do you want to do?"

Yao Ling bit her lip lightly, but couldn't utter a single word.

The brief exchange between the two had already proven that her opponent was far stronger than her. To kill her would only take a moment, and the idea of ​​escaping or sending a message was just wishful thinking!
Su Yun was very satisfied with Yao Ling's reaction and smiled, "Our meeting ends here. I look forward to your future. Don't disappoint me."

Remember, my name is... Phoenix Emperor.

As soon as he finished speaking, a pitch-black spatial rift silently tore open, and Su Yun stepped straight into it without hesitation.
Once the rift had completely closed and Su Yun's figure had disappeared, Yao Ling's tense body suddenly went limp, and she collapsed onto the cold ground.

She braced herself with her hands at her sides, her eyes filled with confusion and fear.

We were wrong! Our family was wrong! The six ancient clans were wrong! Everyone was wrong!
It is a grave mistake to pursue Xiao Jibai while underestimating the son of the Dragon and Phoenix!

Everyone was focused on capturing Xiao Jibai, neglecting the real threat—the Dragon-Phoenix Child!
This was a fatal oversight that led to the utter destruction of the imperial clan!

The Son of Dragon and Phoenix—this person exists solely to overthrow the imperial clan and destroy the human race!

Yao Ling looked down at the Blood Skull Gu lying quietly in her palm, and the hairs on her body involuntarily stood on end.

This tiny Blood Skull Gu alone is enough to shake the foundation of the imperial clan's millennia-old heritage!
Leaving aside other ancient imperial clans, the Medicine Clan alone has countless descendants who are frustrated and unfulfilled due to their inferior bloodline!

Once the Blood Skull Gu spreads among these descendants, without any external force, the imperial clan will instantly collapse, rotting, disintegrating, and disintegrating from its very roots... ultimately falling apart!
This is a conspiracy, a treacherous plan capable of annihilating all ancient imperial clans!

however……

Yao Ling clenched the Blood Skull Gu in her palm tightly. The sharp edges of the Gu's body hurt her palm, but she couldn't loosen her grip even a little.

From the moment she received this evil object, she... also became part of the conspiracy!
