Perfect Double Agent

It looked like it had just woken up, rubbing its eyes sleepily and looking around curiously.

"Qilin insect? You actually have such a thing? This makes things much easier." The old blind man was overjoyed.

Although the Qilin Insect has not yet evolved into an Insect Emperor, it has already passed the larval stage. Its spiritual sense and perception have been greatly enhanced, making it more capable of searching for various treasures than anyone else present.

"Ugh... what the hell is this?!"

Suddenly, someone ahead screamed, and the sound carried very far.

"There's a monster in the fog, be careful!" someone shouted.

Suddenly, the old blind man frowned, reached out with his large hand, grabbed to the left, and instantly pulled back a tall, humanoid figure.

This is a very peculiar creature, shrouded in blood mist, with blood wings on its back, six arms and four legs, red eyes and horns, and its forehead and face are covered with fine scales, making it extremely eerie.

But his appearance caused Bai Ye's pupils to shrink suddenly.

The old blind man frowned. "His consciousness is in complete chaos, driven by an instinctive urge to kill, like a mindless wild beast..."

With a bang, the creature exploded in the old blind man's hand. Its remaining limbs turned into blood-red vines, which writhed on the ground for a moment before dying.

“Blood Vine Clan…” Bai Ye murmured to himself. He recognized the clan, but it came from another realm and was an extremely powerful royal family. Although he had never left the ancestral land of the Blood Vine Clan in the other realm, Gu Yi had brought him many ancient books and told him about the major powerful clans in the other realm.

"Could it be that some immortals survived the battlefield back then and are hiding in this immortal abode?" Bai Ye remained silent, for it was not impossible.

There are not just one foreign bloodline left in the Nine Heavens, but quite a few, such as the Devouring Sky Sparrow, the Demon Ape, and the Void Beast. Their ancestors all came from the combination of the surviving beings after the fall of the Immortal Ancient Era with the races of the Nine Heavens.

“There might be something unusual happening inside this immortal abode…” However, just as the old blind man finished speaking, a blood-red vine suddenly emerged from the mist.

It was too fast, arriving in an instant, piercing through the old blind man and dragging him into the fog.

"Grandpa!" Jiang Qingyue cried out in surprise. She tried to rush into the fog, but Bai Ye held her firmly.

"I'm fine... You wretched creature, prepare to die!"

The jade road roared and trembled repeatedly. Blood was spreading and roars were echoing. This change was not only happening here, but all those who entered were being attacked, including the three of them.

"Buzz!"

A dazzling golden light burst forth, carrying a unique aura of immortality, spreading outwards and causing piercing screams to echo from the surrounding mist, almost piercing eardrums. One could vaguely see that the blood vines that were about to approach Jiang Qingyue were retracting as if electrocuted, as if they had encountered their nemesis.

Even the old blind man in the distance retreated again, looking around with lingering fear.

However, several bloody holes appeared on his body, and the blood is still flowing freely and cannot be stopped.

"What the hell is that thing? It seems to be my natural enemy. It's clearly half a realm lower than me, yet it can still contend with me!"

white night:"……"

He really wanted to say that this wasn't just a natural counter to him, but a natural counter to most people in the entire Nine Heavens. The ancient immortal techniques had long been thoroughly studied by the foreign realm. It was like a father beating his son. Except for a few special individuals, in a one-on-one fight at the same level, he would basically be crushed by the foreign realm.

"Should we go in? I have a feeling this place is no longer just a celestial abode, but more like a den of demonic vines," the witch said.

"People die for wealth, birds die for food. The more they try to stop us, the more it proves that there is something unusual inside, indicating that they don't want us to have it."

“What you say is right, young friend. No matter how bad a celestial abode is, it can’t be that bad. Even if a little bit is left behind, it’s enough for you to transform at this stage. It’s definitely worth the risk.”

Since both the old woman and the young man had spoken, the witch and Jiang Qingyue naturally had no objections.

“Go to the West… there should be something there…” The little Qilin in the witch’s hand emitted a faint fluctuation of divine thought.

"I'll clear the way..."

"I'll go, you cover the rear." Bai Ye interrupted the old blind man's volunteering. His right arm shone with golden light. Even Xu Dao was no match for him in terms of intimidation.

The main road was wide, and there were also small paths leading to buildings along the way, but even so, there were three corpses lying on the roadside.

Their deaths were extremely gruesome; their bodies were pierced through, and all their flesh and blood were sucked out, leaving them lying there like skin and bones, dried-up corpses.

There were even many broken objects around.

This was a shocking scene; they hadn't been inside long before casualties appeared.

"They are Old Man Li's three sons..." The old blind man frowned; this was not a good sign.

However, after walking only a hundred meters, they saw an old man lying dead on a broken rock in the ruins. Blood stained the rock and spread to the white jade bricks below. His body had also been drained, and even the back of his head had been opened and his brains had been swallowed.

But Bai Ye had also seen this old man before; he was one of the three Void Paths who helped the old blind man.

"It's Old Li..."

The old blind man smacked his lips, looking much older. "Child, our family has an ancestral land in the Boundless Heaven. Perhaps there are many things there that can make up for the deficiencies in your physical body and primordial spirit. The location is the story I told you when you were a child. If your grandfather dies here, you can go and take a look..."

However, no one touched the corpses; instead, they headed towards a dilapidated palace not far away.

A sacred golden light cleared the way, and although there were occasional low murmurs and roars in the shadows, once they entered, the creatures in the darkness began to retreat, as if they were very wary of these palaces.

Chapter 239 He'd Eaten Bear's Heart and Leopard's Gallbladder

The palace, standing alone atop nine stone steps, is as imposing as a mountain. Though dilapidated, it exudes a unique celestial aura.

In front of a pair of three-meter-high temple gates, two dilapidated ancient beast statues lie prostrate. One of them has long lost its head, and the other has lost half of its body, which is very eerie.

But what's even stranger is that although the palace doors were only slightly ajar, the interior was pitch black, like an abyss, with a chilling aura emanating from it. Even before getting close, one couldn't help but shiver.

"Should we go in..." The witch tugged at Bai Ye's robe, her eyes filled with worry.

"It's alright. Who is your junior brother? He's the reincarnation of a Celestial King. When his true form descends, all evil will retreat!" Bai Ye comforted him.

"Pah! A reincarnation of a Celestial King? You're really shameless. Aren't you afraid the seniors will laugh at you?" The witch said with a smile, her tense mood easing.

Bai Ye stood on the nine-tiered stone steps, with a corner of a Chaos Disc on each of his sleeves. The golden light on his right arm had dissipated. He reached out and pushed open the palace door.

With a creak, the seemingly heavy palace door was easily pushed open, and immediately, a wave of cold and eerie aura surged out.

At the same time, the scene inside was also presented to everyone.

The palace was enormous, with dozens of figures sitting cross-legged on futons, their backs to the crowd. Each figure was lifelike and incredibly realistic.

On one of the nine steps inside, a Taoist priest with white hair and beard sat cross-legged on the platform with a solemn expression. His hands were clasped in a mudra in front of his chest, and his gaze was majestic as he looked at the crowd in front of the hall, like two celestial swords ready to strike at any moment.

Even more surprisingly, Bai Ye discovered that not far from his feet lay a long-dehydrated humanoid corpse, which had been lying there for countless years, its divine nature lost over time.

Something might have happened here back then. Perhaps some alien creature pushed open the door and walked in, only to be killed inside, which is why no one came after it.

There could be other reasons as well; this grand hall is no ordinary place, and it was the location guided by the Qilin insect.

Bai Ye grasped a corner of the Wheel of Reincarnation and took a step forward. Instantly, an unprecedentedly sharp killing intent, like a boundless ocean, threatened to annihilate countless gods. Accompanied by a supreme pressure, it froze the foot he had raised.

The Reincarnation Disc was activated, emitting wisps of chaotic energy. On it, runes rose like stars, and at the same time, a vast and magnificent power of reincarnation rippled out, rapidly spreading throughout the entire hall.

At this moment, the scene inside the hall began to change. The figures disappeared, the prayer cushions turned to ash, and the originally dark hall seemed to have lost its last wisp of divinity, becoming completely dim. Even the old Taoist on the high platform vanished, leaving only a small tree, just over a meter tall, quietly rooted on the platform, radiating wisps of brilliant auspicious light.

"It's this...eat...eat..." The Qilin insect was restless and couldn't calm down.

"What do you mean, 'eat'? I told you to find things, not to eat them!" The witch flicked its little head, making the Qilin Insect look aggrieved and teary-eyed.

"You can go in now." Bai Ye stepped in first, followed carefully by the rest of the group.

Besides the main hall, there were two side halls on either side. The old blind man and Jiang Qingyue went to the left, and the witch went to the right. Although they all knew that it was a divine medicine, they did not intend to compete with Bai Ye for it.

"It resembles the Bloodline Fruit described in ancient texts..."

Bai Ye stepped onto the high platform and looked at the small tree that was radiating auspicious light. It was too strange. It was rooted in a piece of five-colored soil. Its trunk and branches were blood red, like blood jade. Its leaves were gray, like chaos. Even the nearly ten fruits hanging under the leaves were blooming with nine different colors, which was very peculiar.

Bai Ye flicked his sleeves, engulfing it along with the five-colored soil. This tree was very rare, unlike the Half-Ginseng Fruit Tree.

The Half-Ginseng Fruit Tree can enable the evolution of plants and animals, but this bloodline tree is also effective for humans. Its main function is to allow the user's own bloodline to evolve in a more perfect direction, or even activate the deepest imprint in the blood, allowing the consumer to revert to their ancestral state. This is what makes it unique.

"Little Qi...you idiot! Your mother's peerless elixir, I've wasted it raising a son like you!"

"What's wrong?" Bai Ye rushed over quickly. As soon as he entered the side hall, he saw that the pill bottles on the rows of stone shelves were turning to ash, as if they had been weathered.

"It's been too long, it'll be gone with the slightest touch." The witch was still patting the little Qilin, guessing that once the little Qilin grew a bit bigger, the witch would be able to throw it away like a brick.

"We're in the same boat here; we've only found one finger technique." The old blind man also arrived, holding a piece of black, cold bone in his hand, covered with dense ancient runes. Accompanied by the flow of Yin energy, it seemed to freeze the entire palace.

"Taiyin Finger? That's quite a powerful technique. Keep the original bone; I'll make a note of it. Oh, and take these two fruits too; they might be useful to you." Bai Ye didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted the bone fragments. The old blind man, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed. He had come to help, but instead of being able to, he had ended up owing even more.

It's good to owe favors, even if people don't ask you to repay them. But if you owe too many, you'll always feel guilty.

However, at that moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall, and at the same time, powerful auras were approaching.

Has someone beaten us to it?

A middle-aged man with red hair strode in, his gaze sharp as a knife, scanning everyone. Behind him, more than ten people followed, forming a human wall that blocked the entire entrance to the hall.

"The Blood Demon of Giant Stone City!" the old blind man exclaimed, a mysterious light gleaming in his single eye.

"It's you. You old blind man, you're really in good health. Half of your body is already in the ground, and instead of finding a proper grave, you're still running around aimlessly. Perhaps being buried in the celestial palace is not a bad choice."

"To be honest, I came to the Immortal Abode to find a place to bury these old bones of mine. Do you want to try burying me here?" The old blind man retorted sharply, showing no sign of backing down.

"Look at what you're saying, brother. We're allies in the No Man's Land, how could I possibly attack you? We're too busy helping each other..." But Blood Demon didn't back down; instead, he remained blocking the way, wary of the blind man.

But behind him, a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties stepped forward as if to understand, “My lord, that bone looks familiar… and that Chaos Robe, aren’t those the precious bone and robe that were stolen from your palace!”

It's obvious that this is deliberately provoking trouble; they're not even bothering to hide it, as if they've got Bai Ye and his group figured out.

Even the old blind man was sending a telepathic message, signaling them not to act rashly, because the opponent was not just one Void Daoist, but also four Celestial Gods. If they really fought, they would be at a great disadvantage.

"I'll hold them off, you all escape when the opportunity arises," the old blind man transmitted telepathically.

But at that moment, a dazzling golden beam of light suddenly shot out from behind him, carrying a divine aura that made even him shudder. It flew out instantly and pierced through the woman who was at the True God Realm.

"Kill them, why are you running!" Bai Ye rushed out, holding a broken plate in one hand. The witch, even more excited, held a stone bead and a handful of talismans in her right hand, smashing them all over the palace gate.

This is too strange. Not only was the old blind man dumbfounded, but even the Blood Demon was dumbfounded. What kind of world is this? A minor Venerable and a Divine Fire—he could kill a whole bunch of these ants with a single glance. And yet you dare to take the initiative to attack?

They must have eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard!

Chapter 240 Strange Blood Spider

This is too sudden. Who would have thought that a divine fire could be so stubborn as to dare to kill someone even when he knew the situation was hopeless!

"boom!"

A massive, blood-red hand slammed down like lightning, directly suppressing the space in all directions. The pressure of the Void Dao was like tens of thousands of volcanoes erupting at once. The terrifying power made everyone tremble and feel terrified.

But the old blind man blocked it, preventing it from landing.

Bai Ye took the lead, and with just a slight activation of the two-horn Reincarnation Discs, the Blood Demon was instantly sent fleeing as if struck by lightning.

However, the four celestial beings suffered a calamity, struck by the power of reincarnation, and were reduced to dust, as if they had never existed.
