NFBE Chapter 277 Blood Yang Yuanyang
Chapter 277 Blood Yang Yuanyang
Shen Xu was rushing to Yunyang Academy at the fastest speed he had ever traveled. When he opened the second letter, he noticed that the words inside were written in blood, but he was interrupted by the commotion outside before he could see the contents.
But the power of blood allowed him to know what was written inside without his eyes; a line of words was crookedly written in fresh blood:
"The Seventh Prince is a traitor!"
Then there were lines linked together by blood-red nodes, the meaning of which was unclear.
Although he didn't know Huo Yan's purpose in sending the letter back, it was probably meant to warn him to be careful of the royal families of the Seven Kingdoms, but the meaning of the lines was a bit puzzling to him.
But the moment he learned the contents of the letter, he began to devise a plan to escape.
Consort Xue's words gave him reason to believe that the Crown Prince would definitely tell the Prince of Yunyang about his existence, but the old man seemed completely unaware of his existence, which was very abnormal.
The only possibility is that the Crown Prince and the old man are deceiving him together, with the aim of temporarily calming him down and letting him inject Yuan Qi into the Yuan Stone before they make a move against him.
What happened next was no different from what he expected.
While instructing Xiao Si, he created a misty body at the entrance and used the mist to conceal its shape. When his body and the misty body completely overlapped, he used illusion magic to leave the Crown Prince's residence, leaving only the misty body to continue walking forward.
The reason he wanted to go to Yunyang Academy was because he felt that the old man at the Ancient Methods Research Association should know something, and he also had something to ask of the old man.
Having learned from his previous experience of having his true form discovered by the old man with the leopard head, he used mist to conceal his scent throughout the journey.
Even so, he still felt uneasy, so he went to a cosmetics shop and sprinkled a lot of strong-smelling cosmetics on himself before daring to enter Yunyang Academy.
Since it was a day off, most of the students in the academy had gone out for a stroll, so the academy was rather deserted.
The ancient methods study group was located in a remote area, and he did not see anyone along the way, but he never expected to find an acquaintance in front of the ancient methods study group.
"Brother Shen, I knew you'd come back here," Zhong Wei said with a smile as he approached.
"Brother Zhong, how long have you been waiting here?" Shen Xu asked somewhat helplessly.
"It won't be long, only two or three hours!"
Looking at the sun, which hadn't yet reached noon, Shen Xu couldn't help but admire this guy's perseverance.
"Brother Zhong, if you need my help, please just say so. I will definitely not refuse to help if I can."
"What could I possibly need your help with, brother? And brother, did you go to a brothel in broad daylight? You smell so strongly of perfume." Zhong Wei frowned in disdain.
"Well... someone accidentally spilled a box of cosmetics on me on the way, and I haven't had time to change my clothes yet."
"By the way, how did you know I was coming here today?"
"Of course it's a guess, but it seems my hunch was pretty good." Zhong Wei smiled.
Although he didn't believe Zhong Wei's explanation at all, he didn't press the issue to find out more.
"I'm here to ask the chairman some questions. Do you want to come in?"
"Of course! I was refused entry when I tried to go in this morning."
"I've figured it out now. Yesterday's grand reception wasn't for me, but for you." Zhong Wei couldn't help but purse his lips and shake his head.
"Next time, we can just force our way in; there's no need for all that trouble."
"Brother, I admit your joke made me laugh, but next time you tell a joke like that, you should probably find a different place," Zhong Wei said with a wry smile.
"I was originally planning to barge in, but since I'm bringing you along, it's better to knock."
Leading Zhong Wei and the other man to the gate once again, Shen Xu said to the guards at the door, "Please inform them that those two people from yesterday have returned."
"The chairman said that once you arrive, you can go directly to the third floor to find him."
The guard's answer surprised Shen Xu; it seemed like everyone knew he was coming to this place today.
“What about me?” Zhong Wei asked immediately.
"I'm sorry, it seems none of the three gentlemen wish to see you, Young Master Zhong."
"Alright, all you ever say is that. Anyway, I'm not here to see them. Brother Shen, you go inside and take care of your business first, and I'll show you around the capital when you come out."
Shen Xu couldn't understand what Zhong Wei was thinking. He had waited for him here all morning for this matter. Did this guy want to get closer to him first before asking for his help?
But his plan is likely to fail. If he can get what he wants from the Ancient Method Research Association, he probably won't stay in the capital for even a second longer.
"Then thank you, Brother Zhong." After saying that, Shen Xu walked straight into the Ancient Methods Research Association.
"Third floor?" Shen Xu looked up as he went up the stairs and saw a little boy observing him. After their eyes met, the boy disappeared on the second floor.
"There are such young children here?" Shen Xu couldn't help but wonder.
But the affairs of the Ancient Methods Research Association were not his concern. He was only concerned with what the old man knew and how much he could tell him.
As he climbed the stairs, he quickly arrived at the third floor. As soon as he stepped onto the third floor, Shen Xu felt the difference between it and the second floor, not only in the purity and density of the spiritual energy.
It's more about a vague feeling.
The space here seems fundamentally different from the outside world. It has no feeling of the Blood Central Realm or the True Origin Continent, but rather feels like a completely different world.
The third floor is not a large space; you can scan the entire area at a glance. There are not many items inside, only a few futons placed on the floor.
The old man he saw yesterday was sitting cross-legged on one of the prayer cushions.
Seeing this scene, his originally anxious mood suddenly calmed down for some reason. So he slowly walked over to the old man and sat cross-legged on the futon next to him, and began to slowly feel the difference in this place.
Just as he was about to fall into a meditative state, the old man suddenly spoke up, “Actually, a long time ago, the Blood Central Realm was not the Blood Central Realm, but the Primordial Central Realm.”
At that time, the Yuan Yang Realm was dominated by Yuan Qi, and cultivators focused solely on cultivating Yuan Qi. The entire Yuan Yang Realm was almost entirely the territory of the human race.
But this good fortune didn't last long. One day, a meteorite fell from the sky, and the True Blood Palace landed in the Hidden Heaven Abyss. Its arrival completely changed the fate of the Blood Central Realm.
The primordial energy of the Blood Central Realm gradually became more mixed, and the originally weak demonic beasts became even stronger.
In order to find out the cause of the anomaly, the seven most powerful sects in the Blood Central Realm organized a large number of highly skilled cultivators to explore the True Blood Palace.
But for some reason, most of the cultivators were trapped inside, and only a small number escaped, but they didn't say a word about what happened inside.
The place where they fell is known as the Battlefield of True Blood.
Later, under the influence of the True Blood Palace, the strength of the demon beasts grew stronger and stronger, while the strength of the human race became weaker and weaker due to the impurity of the primordial energy. As one side gained and the other lost, the human race had to continuously shrink its sphere of influence around the seven sects.
Just then, the Spirit Blood appeared. With its continuous rise, changes occurred within the seven major sects. The seven royal families replaced the seven sects, establishing their own dynasties and, with the help of the Spirit Blood, building high walls on the borders to protect the current territory of humanity.
