Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 404: Blue Blood Haunting

Doctor Lu stammered: "I, what I know may not be accurate..."

Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Just tell me as much as you know. Take your time."

The mystery of the Wang family's sea clan, at that time, the riddle book was like an ambiguous person, and there was no more detailed explanation, which made me guess all the time. Curiosity alone can suffocate people. If it weren't for the lack of time, I'm afraid Zhao Changhe would go and check this case specifically to find out what it is.

Now they have come to my doorstep to solve my mystery and have sent the murderer Wang Daozhong who has been following me to prison. It feels like finally getting rid of constipation. I feel so relieved.

Oh, by the way, there was also an assassin from Tingxue Tower, where did he go

Doctor Lu was saying, "There are two types of Wang's special sea mud. One type is only for improving the body. Perhaps because of its thin energy, its effect is only average... Uh, it seems that Mr. Zhao has used it."

"Yes, I have used it." Of course, the effect is average. It is the energy released by a small piece of debris that broke off the Zhenwu Sword Stone and fell into the sea, forming sea mud. The debris itself is small, and the energy is diluted in the sea. How much effect can it have

The body of the sword stone is in the Xuanwu Secret Realm. The energy it exudes is not like that of soft ice cream, but has condensed into solid jelly that fills the entire belly of the mountain. This is the precious material that can truly improve the body and forge the "Supreme Sword Body".

The problem of Zhao Changhe's junk meridians that had been bothering him for a long time was greatly improved here. Yue Hongling and Sanniang each gained something.

If I think about it carefully, can I collect those fragments to make the sword stone more effective? I'll ask Sanniang if she's interested...

Doctor Lu said: "Although the effect is only average, the Wang family's claim that they don't take it seriously is self-deception. Almost every member of their clan has grown up in this kind of sea mud."

Cui Yuanyang couldn't help but be curious: "With divine objects to help them practice since childhood, how come the Wang family's practice is not better than ours?"

Yang Jingxiu shook his head: "In fact, the medicinal baths prepared by our families are not necessarily inferior to this kind of thing... Things are just auxiliary, and hard work is the most important thing. Relying on this kind of thing to lay the foundation for everyone's practice may have the opposite effect, causing the clan members to rely on it and lack of self-cultivation."

Cui Yuanyang felt like an arrow had hit her knee, and she pouted and stopped talking.

What's wrong with taking medicinal baths since childhood? I become so white and smooth after taking them, and Brother Zhao really likes to touch me.

Doctor Lu smiled and said, "What the commander said is true... The Wang family has relied on this for generations. Not only has the whole family become dependent on it, but it has also aroused stronger expectations and pursuits, like an addiction that is getting more and more intense. In fact, the Wang family has long realized that this thing contains some special aura, which is subtly transforming everyone's cultivation foundation. The skills are becoming more and more cold, but the overall aura is like the raging waves of the sea, so they don't pay too much attention to it."

Yang Jingxiu nodded: "In the final analysis, I just can't bear to give up, so I hope for the best."

“Yes… Actually, when Young Master Zhao went to Langya, they pretended to be generous and gave him the sea mud. They thought that Young Master Zhao had problems with his meridians and lacked nectar due to drought. Once he encountered this thing, he would be very likely to become addicted to it, and they could control him.” Doctor Lu said this with a look of admiration on his face. It was unclear whether he was pretending or really admiring: “Who knew that Young Master Zhao ate the sugar coating and was not tempted by it at all? The Wang family was caught off guard.”

Zhao Changhe laughed: "Come on, stop bragging. I know this kind of sea mud very well. I've always said it's boring. Let's talk about the Mysterious Light Nether Soil."

"The Mysterious Light Nether Soil is actually what the Wang family deliberately went out to sea to search for after they relied on this sea mud and hoped for something with stronger effects. At that time, Wang Daoning had not yet broken through the third level of secret treasures, but somehow, he was blessed by divine luck and actually found such a divine object. After obtaining it, he broke through."

Everyone looked at each other, knowing that there were many problems here.

Doctor Lu said, "In fact, even some knowledgeable people in the Wang family have questioned it. If the previous sea mud that only transformed the body was inappropriate, then this nether soil that can target the soul is even more problematic? However, the temptation of Wang Daoning to break through the third secret treasure is here, and all the voices have disappeared."

At this point, Doctor Lu smiled and said, "I only know about this matter because Wang Daoning invited me to have a physical examination to confirm whether there is any problem. As for the deeper level, I don't know... Anyway, according to my examination, Wang Daoning has no problem..."

Yang Jingxiu said calmly, "Your cultivation is insufficient, so you can't find the problem. Wang Daoning asked you to find it just for psychological comfort... Judging from the Yin Qi invading the sword spirit, Wang Daoning should know that there is definitely a problem."

"Well, I really don't know about these. I only found out about the Wang family's sword spirit having problems after this incident. On the surface, the Wang family seems to have no problems..."

Tang Wanzhuang pondered and said, "From this performance, it doesn't seem like control. Wang Daoning has not been directly manipulated, otherwise there would be no need for him to come to you for a check-up and comfort... This analysis is more likely to be a parasitic dependency. He knows there is a problem, but his soul has been strengthened, and he can't feel any harm, so he continues to drink poison to quench his thirst with luck..."

Huangfu Qing looked at Cai Wenque's body on the ground: "At least one thing can be confirmed..."

Tang Wanzhuang added: "The Book of Chaos didn't dodge."

Huangfu Qing said: "This person is not dead."

"Some of the remaining souls that were combined with the Yin energy of the Nether Soil are still alive. Once we bury them, they will be resurrected."

The two women said this almost at the same time, and the energy of water and fire descended upon Cai Wenque's body almost at the same time.

A shrill hissing sound was heard, and a wisp of yin energy emerged from Cai Wenque's spirit platform, avoiding the attacks of the two women.

However, everyone here is a fierce person on the Earth Ranking, so how can it avoid the bitter Yang Jingxiu who is full of anger? The fierce palm wind is waiting there, and it slaps the Yin Qi like water waves, and the water waves show Cai Wenque's distorted face, which looks extremely abstract and terrifying. Cui Yuanyang jumped into Zhao Changhe's arms and shrank, looking terrified.

In a rage, Yang Jingxiu delivered another blow with his palm, completely shattering the Yin Qi. Wisps of white gas dissipated into the void, never to be seen again.

Cai Wenque had been stabbed in the throat by Wang Daozhong before, and bright red blood was flowing all over the ground. At this moment, Tang Wanzhuang and Huangfu Qing rushed up, but found that the blood flowing from the new wound was no longer red, but turned dark blue, like the sea.

Yang Jingxiu's furious voice was heard outside the door: "Bugui, take people to cut Ding Ting outside into pieces for me, and bring the body in for me to see!"

Not long after, a golden light flashed across the sky.

This means that Ding Ting’s soul was not contaminated, so he is really dead when he dies.

"In early March, the birthday banquet was held at the Yang Residence. Thunder Sword Ding Ting challenged Blood Shura Zhao Changhe, but his tendons were cut off by a single blow. He was later killed by Yang Bugui, and fell at the hands of the 45th person on the Human Ranking. His rank was replaced by the next one. Zhao Changhe's rank remained unchanged."

People: “…”

The ranking remains the same. How can Zhao Changhe be ranked 44th? Two strikes beat 44th, one strike beat 48th, one strike beat 45th... Could you please move this person up a bit? Who are you trying to trick by keeping this ranking

"Tang Wanzhuang, Yang Jingxiu, and Zhao Changhe joined forces to fight against Wang Daozhong and Cai Wenque. The latter was defeated, and Wang Daozhong turned against them and stabbed Cai Wenque with his sword. For some reason, he survived for a while, but later died at the hands of Tang Wanzhuang and Yang Jingxiu. The 23rd place on the Earth Ranking fell, and the rank was replaced by the next one."

Zhao Changhe: “?”

Where is Huangfu Qing

Even more dazed than him were the other people who were looking at the list.

The language of this book about troubled times was very plain and simple. It was completely devoid of the soul-stirring descriptions of the previous battles of Zhao Changhe and others. It simply gave a brief account of the outcome of the battles, and who killed whom.

It is understandable that this kind of battle is a messy melee, and it is difficult for the victory or defeat to be thrilling. It is enough to explain the matter clearly.

However, this was not explained clearly. Everyone was confused. No matter how hard they tried, they could not figure out what the process was. Why did these people fight? Why did Wang Daozhong betray his ally? It was too weird.

What the hell is "not dead for some reason", can't you explain why he didn't die? Is it because Cai Wenque's medical skills can keep him alive

The battle situation was announced very well this time, don’t announce it next time.

Yang Jingxiu looked at the rapid changes in the list and his expression suddenly became a little strange.

When Xia Chichi and Zhao Changhe entered the list one after another, Wang Zhaoling became the first among the hidden dragons, Han Wubing became the second, and Yang Bugui became the third.

Now, two people on the Human List and one on the Earth List died at once. No protagonist like Xue Canghai squeezed onto the Human List besides the Hidden Dragon List. If nothing unexpected happens, Wang Zhaoling and Han Wubing will be the replacements on the Human List.

Today, Yang Bugui has become the number one hidden dragon.

There have been three people on the Hidden Dragon List in the past year, Cui Yuanyong, Wang Zhaoling, and Yang Bugui. They happen to be the sons of the three most powerful families in Daxia. It seems like they were recommended through the backdoor, and there is a representative from each family, with no partiality.

It's so coincidental that it always makes people feel that books about troubled times have a bad taste...

However, the person with an even weirder expression was Tang Wanzhuang. She glanced at Huangfu Qing, who looked as if nothing had happened, and seemed to be hesitant to say something.

You pretended well.

Just now, it seemed that he and Huangfu Qing attacked Cai Wenque's body together, but in fact, Huangfu Qing deliberately slowed down the attack to make it seem that "he was not as strong as Tang Wanzhuang" and "it was normal to be a beat slower than her". In fact, it was to let Tang Wanzhuang perform the "real kill" first. When she hit the opponent, the opponent was already dead. This was to deceive Zhao Changhe's eyes and to avoid being listed in the book of chaos.

If extinguishing the Yin Qi of Haini is not counted, Huangfu Qing has never fought with anyone from beginning to end... The Book of Chaos flashed for a long time, and her name was not on it.

This is the caution that the rebel leader Zhuque should have, but what flashed through Tang Wanzhuang's mind at this moment was - you have worked so hard to make it easier for my man to nibble you happily.
