Zhou Wen originally imagined that Qiao Siyuan and company would soon take action, but to his surprise, they had only set up an airtight defense. Even a fly could fly in without any intention of taking action.
They should be waiting for someone. Will Shen Yuchi come personally? Zhou Wen felt that it would be perfect if Shen Yuchi really came personally.
Zhou Wen didn't dare barge into the headquarters of the bureau, but if Shen Yuchi dared to come, Zhou Wen could use all his strength to see if he could make him stay.
As there were many monitoring Companion Beasts and instruments placed around the lake, Zhou Wen hid in the water, not daring to move. Any abnormalities might lead to him being discovered.
After enduring for more than two days, he finally realized that someone had come to the town. To Zhou Wen's disappointment, the person wasn't Shen Yuchi, but a man he didn't know.
Qiao Siyuan and Liz addressed the person as Censor Cai and were very respectful towards him. Zhou Wen immediately guessed that the person was Cai Jin of the four Censors.
Cai Jin held an alloy box in his hand. There was an alloy chain on the box that was connected to Cai Jin's hand.
The last time the Primordial Crystal mine was stolen, the bureau had suffered huge losses. Shen Yuchi had only punished Cai Jin lightly, which made him very grateful.
This time, Cai Jin had made sufficient preparations to secretly come to Funiu Mountain. He couldn't afford to make any more mistakes.
"Minister Qiao, how's the defensive work here?" Cai Jin asked.
"It's been fully monitored. We didn't discover any outsiders," Qiao Siyuan answered.
"Very good. Let's begin tomorrow," Cai Jin said.
Liz asked in puzzlement, "Censor, why aren't we taking action tonight?"
"I've traveled such a long distance. I need to rest for the night to maintain myself in peak condition. It's better if we take action tomorrow," Cai Jin explained.
However, after Cai Jin left Qiao Siyuan's temporary office, he didn't rest. Instead, he summoned a Companion Beast that resembled honey. There were many of them that flew in every direction.
Clearly, Cai Jin wasn't at ease with their defensive setup. He had to do it again.
"These people from the bureau are really more cautious than the last." Zhou Wen saw that Cai Jin had even walked through the valley. He paid special attention to the forest and lake. He even summoned a water snake-like Companion Beast to search underwater.
Thankfully, Zhou Wen was prepared. He had dug a hole in the lake ahead of time and hid inside like a loach. It wasn't easy for him to escape Cai Jin's search.
Liz was very displeased with Cai Jin's actions. "Is Censor Cai doubting our ability?"
However, Qiao Siyuan said indifferently, "This matter is of great importance. It's better to be cautious."
After Cai Jin rearranged his defenses, he returned to the temporary encampment to rest. It was not until nightfall the next day that he got up and rushed to the lake with Qiao Siyuan and the others.
The inspectors and various Companion Beasts had already surrounded the lake.
Zhou Wen suddenly thought of something. When they sacrificed the Blood Oxypetalum later, wouldn't they have to get a lot of blood into the lake? Thinking of the lake full of blood, Zhou Wen felt a little uncomfortable.
However, there were inspectors and Companion Beasts everywhere around the lake. It was too late for him to leave.
"Minister Qiao, let's begin." After arriving by the lake, Cai Jin summoned his Companion Beasts again to search the area before saying to Qiao Siyuan.
"Liz." Qiao Siyuan gestured to Liz.
Liz immediately got the inspectors to take action. One by one, the inspectors opened the buckets and poured the blood into the lake from different directions.
The buckets of blood quickly dyed the lake red. Each bucket weighed fifty kilograms. They had brought more than three hundred buckets of blood. If so much blood was poured, the surroundings would be filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Zhou Wen hid in the water and felt even more uncomfortable, but he could only endure it.
Thankfully, it didn't take long for Zhou Wen to see the blood surge towards the center of the lake as though it was attracted by something.
Splash!
The Blood Oxypetalum broke out of the water and floated above the water surface. It greedily absorbed the blood in the water, and its snow-white petals quickly turned the color of blood.
There was so much blood in the lake, but in less than an hour, it was completely sucked dry, restoring the lake's clarity.
However, the petals of the Blood Oxypetalum didn't bloom. However, a red glow flickered in the flower bud.
Only then did Cai Jin open the box in his hand. In the huge box, there was only a palm-sized bottle.
Cai Jin picked up the bottle and carefully opened it. A pair of eagle wings spread out behind him as he flew above the Blood Oxypetalum. He poured the blood in the bottle at the Blood Oxypetalum.
There was only one drop of blood in the palm-sized alloy bottle. The drop of crystalline blood landed on the Blood Oxypetalum and quickly seeped in. Immediately, the sanguine color on the Blood Oxypetalum's body completely faded. The petals turned snow-white again and bloomed.
The Blood Oxypetalum had already become as pure as a snow lotus. It wasn't stained with any blood, but in its petals, a sanguine glow surged into the sky with a thick bloodlust aura.
Why is this different from the Mountain God Blood Sacrifice situation? Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised when he saw all of this.
"It worked." Cai Jin, Qiao Siyuan, and Liz were overjoyed.
Cai Jin flapped his wings and flew towards the Blood Oxypetalum, hoping to snatch the seed produced by the Blood Oxypetalum.
Flower vines with sharp thorns tore out of the water and swept towards Cai Jin in midair. Cai Jin was truly capable. As expected of one of the four Censors.
His body circled like an eagle as a sword of light flashed in his hand, slicing off the flower vines one by one.
"What sword is that?" Zhou Wen sized up the sword in Cai Jin's hand curiously.
The sword didn't have a corporeal body. It was completely condensed from light. It was a little like the legendary beam saber, but a beam saber should have a device to emit light. This sword was completely condensed from light without any devices.
With the flower vines sliced off, Cai Jin successfully approached the petals. The Blood Oxypetalum no longer had the strength to resist and was about to be obtained by Cai Jin.
Just as Cai Jin was about to take out the Blood Oxypetalum's seed, the lake beside him suddenly exploded. A blurry figure tore out of the water and reached into the Blood Oxypetalum first, snatching the red gem-like Blood Oxypetalum seed.
The expressions of Cai Jin, Qiao Siyuan, and company changed drastically. Cai Jin roared angrily as the sword of light in his hand stabbed at Zhou Wen like a meteor.
Zhou Wen wore the Jade Crystal Spirit armor and held the Golden Battle God Halberd in his hand as he charged at the sword of light.
Kacha!
The sword of light was shattered by the Golden Battle God Halberd. The Golden Battle God Halberd's Golden Divine Light tore through the void and stabbed at Cai Jin's chest.
