A moment later, the ghost cultivator knelt on one knee in front of Lu Ye with a respectful expression. After refining his precious blood, the ghost cultivator had a natural sense of awe towards Lu Ye.
"What's your name?" Lu Ye asked.
"Zhou Tianbao!" The ghost cultivator replied.
"How long have you been in this world?"
…
After asking a few simple questions and learning a little bit about his new Blood Warrior, Lu Ye suddenly changed the subject, "Zhou Tianbao, I have something I need you to do!"
"Does Sir want me to return to Saint Blood Mountain?" Zhou Tianbao looked up at Lu Ye.
Lu Ye nodded slightly, "You are a smart person."
The reason why Lu Ye had spared Zhou Tianbao's life and allowed him to refine his precious blood was because of this. After waiting for half a month, Zhou Tianbao had also considered this possibility.
If Lu Ye had known that the risk of refining his precious blood wasn't so great, he wouldn't have killed the late stage Moon Jade who used the red talisman. Instead, he could have directly subdued her. Of course, it wasn't too late to make these arrangements now, but there were still some problems that needed to be solved.
"You've been delayed for so long without any news. If Blazing Heaven asks, how will you explain this?" Lu Ye asked.
Zhou Tianbao replied, "Sir, you don't need to worry about this. When I go out to carry out a mission, sometimes I need to hide for a long time. It's common for me to not respond to any news."
Lu Ye nodded, then asked, "How will you explain the death of the Red Talisman Association's traitor?"
Zhou Tianbao thought for a moment, then said, "The Snow Clan sisters have long since submitted to the Red Talisman Association. The previous matter was completely a trap set by the Red Talisman Association!"
Lu Ye frowned, "The Red Talisman Association doesn't accept cultivators tainted with Divine Attribute. It doesn't make sense for the Snow Clan sisters to submit to them."
Zhou Tianbao said, "The Snow Clan sisters were coerced by the Red Talisman Association, so they spread fake news. They wanted to lure Blazing Heaven out and use the power of the Red Talisman to kill him. Unfortunately, they didn't succeed!"
This explanation was barely acceptable.
For the next half a day, Lu Ye and Zhou Tianbao discussed a few more things. After confirming that there wouldn't be any major problems after returning, Lu Ye let him leave.
However, after talking with Zhou Tianbao, Lu Ye understood something else. Back then, Saint Blood Peak had sent a late-stage Moon Jade cultivator with a red talisman to deal with him. He had been a bit puzzled, because if he were Blazing Heaven, he would have done it himself.
In terms of Holiness, Blazing Heaven was undoubtedly the strongest in this world. In terms of cultivation, he was also the strongest. Now that a newcomer who seemed to have a stronger Holiness than him had suddenly appeared, he had to investigate this newcomer no matter what. There was no need to use a strategic weapon like the red talisman.
However, after Zhou Tianbao's explanation, Lu Ye finally understood the reason.
Blazing Heaven seemed to have something important to deal with during this time, so he couldn't get away.
Zhou Tianbao guessed that Blazing Heaven was in seclusion to comprehend a secret technique.
But no matter what, Blazing Heaven not personally appearing was a good thing for Lu Ye. Although Lu Ye was confident that he could suppress Blazing Heaven's Holiness, his opponent was still Sunshine. Lu Ye wasn't sure if he could defeat Blazing Heaven even after suppressing him. After all, Blazing Heaven's might wasn't that easy to predict.
He had no choice in his position. The Saint Blood Peak would definitely become his enemy. Since that was the case, planting a spy there would undoubtedly be very helpful.
Lu Ye didn't think of directly attacking the Saint Blood Peak. That would be courting death. According to his understanding, the Saint Blood Peak's foundation wasn't weak. It wasn't something he could shake with his current manpower.
Fortunately, there was still the Red Talisman Association. There would definitely be a fierce battle between the two in the near future. What Lu Ye needed to do now was to accumulate strength on his side. Only then would he have the qualifications to intervene when the two sides fought.
Another half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiang Yin's group of four returned one after another, each bringing back a few scattered cultivators.
There weren't many of them, only seven or eight in total. Moreover, their cultivations were uneven. There was Yue Yao, and there was even a Star Constellation.
These cultivators were in the same situation as Xiang Yin's group. The Red Talisman Association lacked resources and didn't want to waste energy on them. The Saint Blood Peak felt that these cultivators would join them sooner or later, so they gave them some breathing space.
However, with Lu Ye's arrival, the situation in this realm had changed. Lu Ye wanted to gather useful people, so they couldn't stay out of trouble. Coupled with the fact that Xiang Yin's group had some connections with these people, it was very easy to track them down.
They had just been forcibly subdued, so it was difficult to say whether they were loyal or not. Lu Ye didn't care about this. As long as he had enough time and condensed enough precious blood, he would definitely have a loyal group under his command. This kind of loyalty was something the Red Talisman Association and the Saint Blood Peak couldn't hope for.
On this day, Xiang Yin, who was cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes. She took out a sound talisman and checked it. She immediately stood up and said, "Big Sister, the Lord has summoned us."
Since Lu Ye's arrival, they no longer had to worry about not having enough Spirit Jades to use. Moreover, after refining the Treasure Blood, their own Blood Clan bloodline had greatly improved. From the inheritance of their bloodline, they had recently comprehended many Blood Clan secret techniques. It could be said that although their cultivation did not increase, their strength had increased by a lot.
"Okay!" Xuan Yu also stood up and prepared to meet Lu Ye with Xiang Yin.
However, they had only taken a few steps when Xiang Yin shouted, "Wait!"
While Xuan Yu was puzzled, Xiang Yin had already arrived in front of her. She looked her up and down, then raised her hand to unbutton the top button of her clothes. She then used all her strength to push her chest, squeezing it towards the center.
"What are you doing?" Xuan Yu blushed.
Xiang Yin pursed her lips and smiled. "To put the Lord in a good mood!"
Xuan Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could this put the Lord in a good mood? The High Lord was a person who achieved great things. He was very dignified and had a great bearing. When he spoke to his subordinates, he was always serious and respectful. How could such a High Lord be seduced by a woman? If he really was lustful, the two sisters would have been his exclusive property long ago.
Even so, Xuan Yu didn't resist. If this could put the Lord in a good mood, then she would do it without hesitation.
After dealing with her big sister, Xiang Yin also tidied herself.
After a short while, the two sisters arrived at Lu Ye's residence.
"My Lord!" After saluting, Xuan Yu carefully raised her eyes and saw the Lord's gaze fall on her neck. Then, he looked down and stared at her seriously.
Xuan Yu couldn't help but blush, and when she met Lu Ye's gaze, her cheeks turned even redder and she hurriedly lowered her head.
Up above, Lu Ye coughed lightly and said, "Xuan Yu, Xiang Yin, listen!"
"Yes!" The two sisters' expressions became serious.
"Take this and set up an ambush near Jinfeng Valley within two days. You can choose your men!"
"Yes!" The two sisters obeyed. Xiang Yin stepped forward and took a jade box from Lu Ye.
Lu Ye felt Xiang Yin deliberately scratch the back of his hand with her finger ….
He really didn't have any temper with this woman. Compared to her big sister, she was like a seductive fairy, teasing him from time to time. Lu Ye couldn't understand how the Snow Clan, who had always been known for their cold temperament, could produce such a character. She was simply the shame of the Snow Clan.
Xuan Yu asked, "My Lord, who are we going to ambush?"
"Saint Blood Mountain!" Lu Ye replied. The news came from Zhou Tianbao, who said that Saint Blood Mountain would soon take action against the Red Talisman Association. "Perhaps the Red Talisman Association will appear. Remember, don't get into any conflict with them. If you can help, don't be stingy. As for the things in the jade box, use them as you see fit."
"Yes!" Xuan Yu respectfully replied.
"Also, take your own safety as the most important thing. Whether it's this time or the next time, your life is the priority in all missions!"
Xiang Yin and Xiang Yin felt a warm current in their hearts. They felt even more fortunate to have submitted to their Lord. If they had joined Saint Blood Mountain, Blazing Heaven wouldn't have said such words to them.
The two sisters quickly left.
Several days later, they returned safely.
They weren't weak, both of them at the late stage of Moon Jade Realm. Now that they had refined a drop and a half of Saint Blood Mountain's blood, their holiness had greatly improved. They naturally had the upper hand when facing Saint Blood Mountain's cultivators.
After listening to the sisters' report on this mission, Lu Ye nodded in satisfaction. Overall, this mission could be considered a successful completion. Not only did they deal a heavy blow to Saint Blood Mountain's team, but they also sold the Red Talisman Association a favor at a critical moment.
He casually gave them some cultivation resources and ordered them to rest for the time being.
Lu Ye once again immersed himself in refining Saint Blood Mountain's blood.
In the past, he had always kept five drops of Saint Blood Mountain with him. No matter what situation he faced, five drops of Saint Blood Mountain's blood was enough. However, ever since he discovered that he could use Saint Blood Mountain's First Generation Blood Mountain to easily subdue this world's First Generation Blood Mountain, his supply of Saint Blood Mountain's blood was in short supply.
Whenever new Saint Blood was refined, it would be quickly consumed. In this regard, Lu Ye was quite helpless. He could only continue to refine Saint Blood Mountain's blood without rest. For this reason, he didn't even have time to cultivate. At most, he could use resources to recover his consumption in refining Saint Blood Mountain's blood.
Placing Zhou Tianbao at Saint Blood Mountain's side was undoubtedly an extremely wise move. With him providing information, even the slightest movement from Saint Blood Mountain couldn't escape Lu Ye's notice.
In the next few months, the cultivators on Black Prison Cliff's side moved out several times. Except for the one time where they didn't encounter Saint Blood Mountain's people at the ambush site, the other times, they reaped some benefits.
After a few times, Saint Blood Mountain's side clearly realized the seriousness of the problem and made some corresponding changes in strategy.
In a hidden underground space, several figures gathered. If Lu Ye was here, he would definitely recognize Hu Dequan, Meng Xu, Yang Ling, and the others, whom he had met before.
The Red Talisman Association had many strongholds in this world. However, most of them could be abandoned. Only this stronghold could not be abandoned.
This was because the Red Talisman Association had spent a lot of time and effort to establish their foundation. A large number of spiritual plants were planted here, and it was the foundation of the Red Talisman Association's cultivators to maintain their cultivation.
It could be said that if this stronghold was discovered and conquered by Saint Blood Mountain's people, there would no longer be a place for the Red Talisman Association in this world. This was because their magic power would be exhausted sooner or later. Without resources to replenish it, they would definitely be tainted by Saint Blood Mountain's divine nature.
At this moment, the main figures of the Red Talisman Association were gathered here to discuss matters.
