In the dark room.
It was cold and damp.
This was the prison cell that Dongchu City used to imprison criminals or high-level monsters.
Xia Zixuan slowly woke up from her coma and realized that she was still soaked in the blood of a high-level monster with rich spiritual energy.
Her body was weak as all the Qi, blood, and strength in her body had been sucked out.
This was the second time.
Every time her body recovered and her Qi and blood were replenished, someone would come over on time to suck out all the new blood in her body.
In just one short night, Xia Zixuan had gone through two life-and-death experiences. The fear and hatred in her heart were even more intense and unforgettable than the ten life-and-death experiences she had when she was killed by Yang Fan in the trial canyon.
Because this time, the person who wanted to harm her was actually the elder ancestor that she had always respected, admired, and trusted the most.
Compared to being hurt by an enemy, being betrayed by the person you trusted the most was often more memorable.
"I'm starting to understand why Uncle Luo was so determined to betray the City Governor's Office back in West Chu City."
"Being sucked out of your blood by your closest and most trusted family member. This kind of fear and hatred can't be understood by those who haven't experienced it personally."
Xia Zixuan laughed at herself. "The funny thing is that I actually thought that Uncle Luo was deceived back then. I didn't believe that the Xia family would do such a cold-blooded and vicious thing."
"But I never thought that in order to awaken the immortal bloodline and obtain this magical ability to revive from the dead, even if it's a biological brother or flesh and blood, they might not be reliable, let alone cousins."
Did her father and herself not rely on sucking Xia Luo's blood to awaken the immortal bloodline and break through the current cultivation barrier?
Basically, she was actually the same as Xia Tianlai and Xia Chunqiu. They were all cold-blooded and heartless people.
After all, before the immortal serum was injected, Xia Tianlai had clearly told Xia Zixuan the origin of the immortal serum.
However, at that time, Xia Zixuan had been concerned about whether she could break through and whether she could take revenge on Yang Fan. Even if she knew that it was the bloodline essence extracted from Xia Luo's uncle's blood, she did not care at all. She did not even ask about it.
For the sake of breaking through, for the sake of revenge, she had completely lost her mind at that time.
In other words, she was just as cold-blooded as Xia Chunqiu.
"This should be karma, right?"
"Back then, my father and I relied on Uncle Luo's blood to break through and awaken our bloodline. Now, Xia Chunqiu wants to draw my blood to refine the serum to awaken the breakthrough. It's really a cycle of karma and retribution!"
"I just don't know when Xia Chunqiu's retribution will come. I really hope I can live to see that day!"
Xia Zixuan's eyes were filled with despair and resentment. The Qi and blood in her body were gradually recovering. It was not under her control at all. In another half an hour, she should be able to return to the standard of a normal person. By then, those servants and accomplices who were guarding outside would definitely come in to draw her blood again.
Xia Chunqiu needed the Immortal Blood Serum. If he didn't extract the Immortal Blood from his body, he wouldn't give up!
Xia Zixuan already had Mingsi in her heart, which was why she felt even more despair and fear.
Her blood flowed along her veins as her body turned from hot to cold. Bit by bit, it turned cold and stiff without a trace of vitality or warmth.
However, she could not die. The people who drew her blood were very experienced. They knew very well where the limit of the blood they needed to draw was. They could control it very precisely every time, leaving her with one last breath.
Thus, Xia Zixuan could only watch as these people repeated the process of drawing her blood over and over again. She was completely dazed and muddle-headed.
Xia Zixuan did not know how long she could hold on. She also did not know how many more times her blood would be drawn. At this moment, she actually wanted to die. It was not the kind of death where she relied on her bloodline to come back to life. Instead, she wanted to truly be a lamp that had run out of oil and had her consciousness completely annihilated.
She really had enough!
In fact, she could not see any hope of escaping alive!
If that was the case, she might as well die and be free!
Click!
There was the sound of the door being unlocked. Xia Zixuan shuddered. As expected, those devils in human skin were here to draw her blood again.
She felt like she was now a blood cow that had been caged by vampires. When her blood was full, she would release it and when it was dry, she would raise it again to ensure that there was an endless supply of fresh blood for those vampires.
"Zixuan!"
"Zixuan, wake up!"
"Can you hear me? Open your eyes and look. I'm your father!"
There was an extremely familiar voice by her ear. Xia Zixuan's spirit was lifted. She tried hard to raise her head and open her eyes, looking towards the direction of the voice.
Xia Lai!
It was actually her father!
After so long, the father that she always thought was most likely dead had actually appeared before her again!
"Father, save me! Quickly, save me! "
Xia Zixuan had been very agitated. She suddenly struggled hard in the blood pool and looked at Xia Lai with a longing expression, crying out for him to save her.
"Okay, okay, okay. Don't be afraid. Don't be nervous. Father is coming to save you now!"
When he saw that his precious daughter had actually become like this, Xia Lai's heart clenched and he was in so much pain that his tears flowed out.
As he comforted her, Xia Lai quickly walked up and took out the chain key that he had found on the guards outside the door. He first unlocked the four alloy chains on Xia Zixuan, then reached into the blood pool and slowly carried the skinny Xia Zixuan out.
He casually put a piece of clothing on Xia Zixuan's naked body, then took out a blood-replenishing pill and put it into his daughter's mouth. He said softly, "Put on your clothes first, then recover your strength. Father will be able to bring you away right away."
"Father, that old thief Xia Chunqiu …"
"I know!" Xia Lai gave his daughter a reassuring look and said confidently, "That old thief isn't in the city right now. If I want to bring you away, no one can stop me! I've already taken care of those servants who were guarding you outside. You can rest at ease and recover. "
Xia Lai was not an idiot. Ever since he found out that Xia Zixuan was detained by the elder ancestor, he had been hiding in the dark, closing the window at all times to observe every movement in the prison cell.
This morning, as soon as Xia Chunqiu left Dongchu City, Xia Lai took the opportunity to sneak in.
After being the City Lord of Dongchu City for over 20 years, Xia Lai was more familiar with the guard layout in Dongchu City than anyone else. Before he came over, he had even used his authority as the City Lord to directly activate the City Protection Array in the city. Within a short period of time, even if Xia Chunqiu returned, he would not be able to break the barrier and enter the city.
Thus, at least before the million units of spiritual power in the array core were depleted, they would be safe.
Xia Zixuan was slightly relieved. Finally, she was no longer on tenterhooks. After notifying Xia Lai, she turned around and took the initiative to jump into the blood pool behind her.
If she wanted to recover her Qi, blood, and stamina, what else could be more effective than the blood of these high-level monsters?
Previously, in order to stall for time, she had not taken the initiative to refine and absorb the energy in the blood.
Now that the crisis was resolved and her father was by her side to protect her, she no longer had any worries. Xia Zixuan began to circulate her cultivation method, purposely guiding the spiritual power in the blood into her body, rapidly absorbing and refining the endless spiritual power contained in the blood.
In just a short ten minutes, her shriveled body was full again, and her weak body recovered to its original state. Her cultivation as a Level 3 Martial Master had already recovered to its peak state.
She put on her clothes in the water and leaped out of the blood pool that had become as clear as water. At the same time, her Qi and blood boiled, instantly evaporating her soaked clothes.
Finally, she was alive again!
Xia Zixuan took a deep breath. She had survived a disaster.
It was great to be able to live again!
"Zixuan, I've let you suffer!"
Xia Lai looked guilty as he softly said to Xia Zixuan, "It's all my fault for being useless. I couldn't protect the immortal serum that the elder ancestor needed, that's why he was angry and implicated you!"
Xia Lai was extremely regretful. If he had known that things would develop to this stage, he would not have left the city to fight with Wang Zhe even if he had pretended to be weak.
He clearly knew what the 300 milliliters of immortal serum meant to the elder ancestor, yet he was still so arrogant, thinking that everything was under his control.
However, in the end, as soon as he left, the immortal serum was found by Yang Fan and Chen Guang. Zhao Fengchen and Xia Luo rebelled one after another, directly messing up all of the elder ancestor's plans.
What made him feel even worse was that the battle between him and Wang Zhe had actually lasted for a whole day and night. In the end, he was still not Wang Zhe's match and died tragically in the eastern suburbs of West Chu City by a single move.
If it were not for the awakening of the immortal bloodline that allowed him to revive in time before his corpse was eaten by the wild beasts, he might have really died.
"Father, from now on, Xia Chunqiu is no longer my elder ancestor. Old Thief Xia and I are irreconcilable. We won't rest until one of us is dead!"
Xia Zixuan's eyes were filled with endless hatred as she made such an overconfident declaration.
"Good, good, good!" Xia Tianlai gently hugged Xia Zixuan in his arms and softly comforted her. At the same time, his eyes were filled with endless hatred as he said sternly, "Old Thief Xia is cruel and merciless. He doesn't care about blood ties and kinship. How dare he treat my daughter like this? He'll die a horrible death!"
"Don't worry, Zixuan. I have the evidence of this old thief colluding with the demons to frame his own kind all these years. Let's go to the Guardian's Office right now and ask the Guardians to punish this old thief and avenge you!"
Xia Zixuan's eyes lit up. "Father, is this true?!"
Although Xia Zixuan had spoken so vehemently just now and looked like she would not rest until one of them was dead, she actually knew very well that Xia Chunqiu had already reached the peak of Master several decades ago. His strength was unparalleled. With just her and her father alone, they probably would not have the chance to kill Xia Chunqiu and avenge him in this lifetime.
"Of course, it's true!" Xia Tianlai said, "Old Thief Xia has completely gone crazy all these years in order to advance to become a King. He's long disowned his family. I've long expected this day to come, so I've always been prepared! "
"Every time he had a secret meeting with Lord Qinghou of Luoyu Mountain and used the blood warriors in the city to exchange the corresponding cultivation resources with Lord Qinghou, I would hide in the dark and secretly take some videos just in case. I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon."
It was easy for Xia Tianlai to say, but it was definitely not easy to secretly take videos under the eyes of a peak Master and a Level Seven Demon King. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a narrow escape.
Xia Zixuan's body trembled. Xia Chunqiu, this old thief, dared to use living people to trade with demons?!
This was a great crime that could lead to the annihilation of nine generations. How dare he?!
Was he trying to drag the entire Xia family into the abyss with him?!
Crazy, he was really crazy!
"Alright, my dear daughter, don't worry that we'll be implicated because of this. As long as we go to the Guardian's Office and take the initiative to present the relevant evidence to the Guardian, then we'll be putting righteousness before family, and we'll be heroes of the human race! All the sins will be done by Xia Chunqiu alone. No one will trouble our Xia family because of this! "
He lifted a hand to pat his daughter's back and said softly, "Now, we should go. I've already asked someone to prepare the airship outside. We have to quickly depart before Xia Chunqiu returns to the city!"
Xia Zixuan nodded and followed Xia Tianlai out of the underground prison smoothly.
In the corridor, more than ten guards' corpses were scattered all over the place. Among them were the two guards in white who were here to draw blood for Xia Zixuan. Beside them was a complete set of blood drawing equipment that was already prepared.
If Xia Tianlai had come a little later, these people might have been drawing blood for Xia Zixuan right now.
Her arm trembled reflexively. The viciousness in Xia Zixuan's eyes rose. When she passed by the two corpses, she lifted her right leg and directly kicked the two guards' heads into pieces!
Fresh blood and brain matter splattered all over the ground!
Xia Zixuan's feet and dress were all stained with blood, but she did not care. Her expression did not change at all.
When Xia Tianlai saw that his daughter had suddenly become so cruel, his body trembled slightly and his heart ached.
He knew that after this incident, the innocent, gentle, and adorable daughter in his heart, who couldn't even bear to kill an ant, would probably never come back!
