Knowing clearly that Sun Yan was a practitioner from the Blood Shadow Hall and that people from the Blood Shadow Hall were nearby, that group of weak practitioners still dared to kill Sun Yan. Although it might be because they felt threatened by Sun Yan's tracking, it might also be because the Blood Scale Stone was in their hands, so they killed Sun Yan without hesitation.
Thinking of this, the man next to Emperor Blood Shadow said cautiously, "Palace Master, they killed Sun Yan, could it be that..."
“It’s possible!”
Emperor Blood Shadow nodded slightly. The man could think of this, so could he. However, Sun Yan did not send them a message, so they could not be sure that the Blood Scale Stone was on the body of the group of practitioners.
"Are there still a few blood-scale beasts that have not been killed?" Blood Shadow Emperor looked at the man and said.
The man didn't dare to hide anything after hearing this, and immediately said, "There are two more, but they have lost their trace."
"Waste!" Blood Shadow Emperor was furious. There were still two blood-scale beasts on the run. Including the one on his side, there were three in total. And there was only one blood-scale stone. Was it on these three blood-scale beasts, or on that group of practitioners
If they cannot determine where the Blood Scale Stone is, how can they track it and how can they seize it? You have to know that the three blood scale beasts and the group of practitioners are in four completely different directions. The longer the time drags on, the farther they will get.
"Please punish me, Palace Master." The man said in panic.
"Hmph~"
The Blood Shadow Emperor snorted coldly but said nothing more. After all, he knew that this matter could not be entirely blamed on the practitioners under his command.
The Blood Scale Beast's main body decomposed and turned into countless young ones that escaped. It was extremely difficult to hunt them all down. The Blood Shadow Hall was able to only have two escape, which was already a very rare thing. However, the Blood Shadow Hall's luck was a bit too bad. They killed so many Blood Scale Beast young ones, but did not get the Blood Scale Stone.
"Continue to hunt down the blood-scale beast!" Blood Shadow Emperor said coldly.
Hearing this, the man was stunned, and then he said, "Palace Master, the cultivator who killed Sun Yan..."
"We are still some distance away from the location where Sun Yan sent the last message. Even if we chase them now, do you think those practitioners will stay there and wait for us?" Emperor Blood Shadow said with a grim expression.
They were not close to the area where Sun Yan died. It would take a long time to get there without being able to travel through space. By then, Yang Qi and the others would have already escaped. The environment was changing all the time when the Blood Soul Sea was moving. Even if they wanted to track Yang Qi and his group, they did not have the ability to do so. They could only watch Yang Qi and the others escape.
It's not that Emperor Blood Shadow didn't want to hunt down Yang Qi and the others, but he simply couldn't do it. The only thing to blame was that they delayed too long in killing the Blood Scale Beast, causing Sun Yan to expose his whereabouts. Otherwise, they could have caught up with him after quickly killing the Blood Scale Beast.
Emperor Xueying looked in the direction where Sun Yan fell, and said with murderous intent, "It's best not to let me see that group of practitioners again, otherwise I will make them live a life worse than death!"
Hearing the words of the Blood Shadow Emperor, the man next to him swallowed subconsciously. As a practitioner of the Blood Shadow Palace, he naturally knew how terrifying the Blood Shadow Emperor was, and he understood even more how terrifying the Blood Shadow Emperor was when he had murderous intentions.
…
Yang Qi and the others did not know that the practitioners from the Blood Shadow Palace had not sent anyone to investigate because the distance was too far, and they even continued to track them. However, they themselves hurried on their way, staying away from the area where Sun Yan was killed, so as not to be caught up by the practitioners from the Blood Shadow Palace.
Zhou Yi looked at Yang Qi standing aside and asked curiously, "Brother Xu Xing, what exactly is the blood scale stone that Sun Yan mentioned?"
“That’s it!”
Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Yang Qi's mind moved, and the Blood Scale Stone appeared in his hand.
Looking at the blood scale stone in Yang Qi's hand, Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, and then said in a deep voice, "This is the opportunity planned by the Blood Shadow Palace. It doesn't look special."
Apart from the blood-colored scales that look like fish scales, the Blood Scale Stone is almost the same as ordinary stones, and there is nothing special about it. No wonder Zhou Yi was a little puzzled.
Yang Qi did not hide the special features of the Blood Scale Stone and said directly, "This Blood Scale Stone contains extremely pure essence. For a cultivator at the Martial Emperor level, it is also an extremely rare treasure."
Um
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up. As practitioners at the four-star Martial Emperor level, they naturally understood how precious a treasure containing pure essence was.
Zhou Yi looked at the Blood Scale Stone not far away and said with emotion, "No wonder the Blood Shadow Palace spent so much effort to get this Blood Scale Stone."
“The Blood Shadow Palace spent so much effort to seize the Blood Scale Stone. I’m afraid it’s not just because the Blood Scale Stone contains pure essence.” Yang Qi shook his head slightly.
If a cultivator, even a four or five-star Martial Emperor, wanted to obtain the Blood Scale Stone, Yang Qi could understand it, but Blood Shadow Emperor brought the entire Blood Shadow Palace and did not hesitate to block off an area to kill the Blood Scale Beasts and seize the Blood Scale Stone. The price was a bit too high.
this…
Hearing Yang Qi's words, Zhou Yi and the others couldn't help but be slightly stunned. The Blood Scale Stone was so big. Even if the essence contained in it was very pure, the quantity was probably very limited. If they divided it among the six of them, each person's gain would probably not be too great.
As a cultivation power that has existed for countless years, even if the Blood Shadow Emperor is the master of the hall, it is impossible for the cultivators under his command to do things for free. There must be some price to pay. In order to seize the Blood Scale Stone, the Blood Shadow Emperor mobilized the top masters of the entire Blood Shadow Hall, but this price was a bit too much.
"Then why did they seize the Blood Scale Stone?" Zhou Yi frowned slightly.
"I don't know about that."
Yang Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head, then looked at Liu Qian and the others and said, "If you want to know the purpose of the Blood Shadow Palace, I'm afraid you can only speculate through the origin of the Blood Scale Stone."
Yang Qi's knowledge about the Blood Scale Stone was very limited. Even the name was learned from the dead Sun Yan. Otherwise, they would not even know the name of the Blood Scale Stone.
Feeling Yang Qi's gaze, Liu Qian shook his head slightly and sighed, "I have never heard of this thing, let alone seen it."
"I haven't heard of it either."
"Me too."
The other two four-star Martial Emperors also shook their heads. They knew nothing about the Blood Scale Stone, let alone its uses other than absorbing its essence for cultivation.
Although Yang Qi was somewhat disappointed with this result, he was not too surprised. After all, Wu Xin did not know the Blood Scale Stone before, and Wu Xin's lineage had some understanding of the depths of the Blood Soul Sea. If even his lineage did not know the Blood Scale Stone, the possibility of Liu Qian and others knowing the Blood Scale Stone was naturally smaller.
Liu Qian thought for a moment before speaking, "There will be many practitioners entering the depths of the Blood Soul Sea. Perhaps we can learn about the origin and purpose of the Blood Scale Stone from other practitioners." (To be continued)
