Half an hour later.
Xia Chunqiu left the city and returned. As soon as he entered the city, he noticed that something was amiss. The Great City Barrier Formation had just been fully activated, and the air around the city was filled with the aura of spirit power.
"Xia Lai, that little bastard, is back!"
Xia Chunqiu's expression changed slightly. Other than him, only Xia Lai, the City Lord, had the authority to fully activate the Great City Barrier Formation.
Xia Lai had not appeared for the past two days. Xia Chunqiu thought that he had died outside and was about to revoke his position as City Lord and appoint another nephew.
He never expected that not only was Xia Lai not dead, he had taken advantage of the time when he left Dongchu City to sneak back.
Was he trying to save his daughter?
With a thought, Xia Chunqiu instantly appeared in the underground prison cell. Seeing the corpses all over the floor and the empty blood pool, Xia Chunqiu's expression suddenly became somewhat ferocious.
"Good, very good! Even you have chosen to betray I, wanting to cut off the last bit of hope that I has. Looks like I was too kind to you in the past! "
Xia Chunqiu waved his hand angrily, and the dozen or so corpses in the tunnel all turned into nothingness, as if they had never existed.
The next moment, Xia Chunqiu appeared a thousand meters above the city in a flash, and the blood energy on his body rapidly spread in all directions.
Every corner of Dongchu City, as well as the area of dozens of kilometers outside of Dongchu City, was within the range of his blood energy.
"Great Ancestor, are you looking for City Lord Xia's whereabouts?"
Sensing Xia Chunqiu's extremely violent blood energy searching, the Deputy City Lord, Xia Yuan, who was temporarily in charge of guarding the City Governor's Office, flew out of the City Governor's Office and softly asked Xia Chunqiu through voice transmission.
Xia Chunqiu was stunned. He waved his hand and moved Xia Yuan in front of him, asking in a low voice, "You've seen Xia Lai?"
Xia Yuan replied respectfully, "Great Ancestor, City Lord Xia suddenly returned half an hour ago and took Miss Zixuan out of the city on an airship."
Xia Chunqiu was furious. This bastard dared to swagger back like this!
However, for Xia Tianlai to be able to hide from his spiritual perception and return to Dongchu City while he was out of the city, it seemed that his cultivation had indeed improved greatly.
"Damnable bastards! That was supposed to be a peerless opportunity for I to advance into the King Realm, but it was wasted by that father and daughter pair!"
Xia Chunqiu's heart was filled with regret. He shouldn't have let Xia Tianlai personally go to West Chu City, ruining his hope of advancing for half his life!
The airship had already traveled for half an hour. Xia Tianlai and his daughter were probably already hundreds of kilometers away. Even if he was at the peak of the Martial Ancestor Realm, he would not be able to catch up to them.
"Patriarch, please calm down!"
Xia Yuan's body trembled. He could sense a violent killing intent from the Patriarch. Who had provoked the Patriarch to such an extent? Was it Summer?
Although Xia Yuan was the Deputy City Lord, he had never truly come into contact with the core secrets of the Xia family, so he was not aware of what Xia Tianlai and Xia Zixuan had been doing in West Chu City these past few days. He was even less aware that the Patriarch had been extracting Xia Zixuan's essence and blood to refine the immortal serum.
Otherwise, Xia Tianlai would not have been able to take over all the City Lord's authority in Dongchu City so easily, activate the formation, commandeer the airship, and escape.
Xia Chunqiu lowered his head and glanced at Xia Yuan, scoffing coldly. They were all a bunch of good-for-nothings!
If Servant Xia was still around, he would not have let Xia Tianlai leave Dongchu City so brazenly!
When he thought of Servant Xia, Xia Chunqiu's expression became even more gloomy.
Everything that had happened last night was still vivid in his mind. Until now, Xia Chunqiu still could not understand how someone in West Chu City could hurt Servant Xia, who was already a Martial Ancestor Realm 9, without Zhu Huanan holding them back.
Could it be that there was another peak Master in West Chu City aside from Zhu Huanan?
"Oh, that's right. Before he left, City Lord Xia told me to pass on a message to you if I see you, Ancestor."
Xia Yuan reported softly, "City Lord Xia said that he and Lady Zixuan have temporarily gone to the Guardian's Residence to visit relatives. They probably won't be back for a while, Ancestor, please don't worry."
"The Guardian's Residence? He's chosen a good place! "
Xia Chunqiu's body trembled. Was Xia Tianlai warning him?
All these years, Xia Chunqiu had always treated Xia Tianlai as his successor and had carefully nurtured him. Many of the Xia Clan's secrets had not been deliberately hidden from him. Xia Tianlai should have been aware of the relationship between Xia Chunqiu and Lord Qinghou.
Xia Chunqiu was worried. Xia Tianlai might have gone to the Guardian's Residence with the intention of fighting to the death.
"There's not much time left. I can't keep waiting like this! Within three days, I must obtain all of Xia Luo's blood essence! I must break through to the realm of a Martial King before Xia Tianlai arrives at the Guardian's Residence! "
Xia Chunqiu had always been cautious. Naturally, he did not dare to put his life in the hands of a villain like Xia Tianlai.
Whether or not Xia Tianlai would report his crimes to the Guardian's Residence, Xia Chunqiu had to ensure that he successfully broke through to the realm of a Martial King before then.
This was because as long as he became a Martial King, he would have reached the heavens in a single step and become one of the few people with the most authority in the Federation Government. Even the Guardian's Residence would not be able to do anything to him.
At that time, as long as he casually destroyed all the monsters in Mount Luoyu and destroyed the evidence to make up for his mistakes, he would still become a human hero respected by everyone.
"Alright, there's nothing else for you to do here. You may leave!"
Xia Chunqiu waved his hand and dismissed Xia Yuan. He flew out of the city again and disappeared without a trace.
South China Martial Arts School.
Yang Fan sat in the number one cultivation room in the school resource office. Looking at the various spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits that surrounded him like a small mountain, he was drooling and his face was about to bloom with a smile.
This was the champion's reward from the school. As it could not be taken out or transferred to others, it could only be absorbed and refined in the school resource office according to the school's requirements. Therefore, Yang Fan's plan to share these resources with his parents and Yang Guo was cut off.
Yang Fan had no choice but to obediently stay in the number one cultivation room and start his life of taking medicine.
"I've awakened the Sky-Devouring Bloodline! It can quickly devour and refine all spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits, increasing my blood essence and mental strength cultivation! "
This was the excuse Yang Fan came up with about ten minutes ago in front of the two big shots, Grandmaster Nan Nan and Zhu Yiping, to explain his sudden increase in cultivation strength.
The inspiration came from Dahei's Sky-Devouring Beast Bloodline. It was very reliable.
Now was the best time for Yang Fan to prove to the two big shots that he really did have the Sky-Devouring Bloodline.
Therefore, this time, Yang Fan did not deliberately avoid or hide the fact that he had taken the medicine. He wanted to openly tell everyone that he could indeed rely on swallowing all kinds of cultivation resources to quickly increase his strength and cultivation.
After all, compared to things like systems, absolute arts, or certain fortuitous encounters, bloodlines were not controlled by one's subjective thoughts. It was purely dependent on one's appearance and heredity. Even if one were to be exposed, it would be very difficult for others to covet one's bloodline.
Take Xia Luo's Immortal Bloodline for example. No matter how tempted Zhu Huanan and Zhu Yiping were, they did not have the corresponding bloodline inheritance in their bodies. In the end, they could only stare at Xia Luo helplessly. Even if Xia Luo was right in front of their eyes, they did not covet Xia Luo at all.
Instead, it was Xia Luo's bloodline relatives who constantly wanted to suck his blood dry and rob him of the Immortal Serum.
Therefore, Yang Fan believed that as long as he could prove to these big shots that his uniqueness was all because of the Sky-Devouring Bloodline in his body, those who previously had thoughts about him would instantly be disappointed.
Because bloodlines were different from fortuitous encounters, they could not be taken away. Even if they captured Yang Fan, it would be of no use.
In this way, Yang Fan would undoubtedly be rid of many malicious gazes and his situation would become much safer.
[You have consumed the Level 2 Spiritual Medicine, Volcanic Ginseng. Blood Qi churns like a river and your Vitality has been greatly enhanced. Vitality + 1000, Vitality Recovery Speed + 1]
[You have consumed the Level 3 Spiritual Medicine, Ripe Rehmannia. Blood Qi churns like a river and your Vitality has been greatly enhanced. Vitality + 2000, Vitality Recovery Speed + 5]
"…"
[You have consumed the Level 2 Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Nurturing Grass. Mental Power has been greatly enhanced. Mental Power + 100, Mental Will + 50, Mental Power Recovery Speed + 3]
"…"
As stalk after stalk of Spiritual Medicine entered his stomach, Yang Fan's Vitality Force and Mental Power continued to churn and boil without stopping for a moment.
This time, Yang Fan did not deliberately hide his Vitality Force. Every time his Vitality Force increased, he would deliberately explode it so that it would be convenient for the big shots outside to show off.
Twenty-two thousand, thirty-eight thousand, forty-five thousand, fifty-seven thousand …
Wave after wave of Vitality Force, Yang Fan's Vitality Cultivation was also increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. By the time he had consumed all the Spiritual Medicine resources, his Vitality Force had already reached one hundred and two thousand!
His cultivation had soared to level three Martial Master in an instant!
And the time he used to do all this was merely half an hour.
Zhu Huanan, Zhu Yiping, and a certain guardian teacher who was on duty, who had been observing him from the outside, were all dumbfounded. They watched in disbelief as Yang Fan transformed magnificently before their eyes.
"Is this guy a monster?!"
"Swallowing Spiritual Medicine doesn't require any time to refine it. He can directly absorb and use it to transform it into the most basic Vitality Force in his body?"
"This kind of Bloodline Talent is simply unheard of. It's really too powerful, too nature-defying!"
"With this kind of Bloodline Attribute, doesn't that mean that as long as there are enough Spiritual Medicine resources in the future, this Yang Fan can continue to advance without limit?"
Zhu Huanan and Zhu Yiping were experienced and knowledgeable, so they could barely maintain their calm.
However, the guardian teacher on duty was already shocked to the point of being unable to recover. His emotions were unable to calm down for a long time. Envy, jealousy, hatred, bitterness, and all sorts of emotions surged in his heart. His two eyeballs started to turn red with blood.
'God really doesn't have eyes. Why didn't such a good thing happen to me?'
"Xiao Liu, remember to keep this matter a secret."
Zhu Huanan suddenly sent a voice transmission to the guardian teacher on duty next door. "Yang Fan having such a nature-defying Bloodline is the fortune of my Huanan Martial Arts School, the fortune of my West Chu City, and the fortune of my Federation's human race."
"With his advancement speed, he might not have no hope of becoming a King in the future. As teachers, we have to ensure his absolute safety before he truly matures! "
Xiao Liu's mind turned cold. He quickly suppressed the jealousy in his heart and nodded heavily. He did not dare to neglect Grandmaster Huanan's warning and instructions.
After instructing Xiao Liu, Zhu Huanan turned his gaze back to Yang Fan. His brows slightly raised, and he asked Zhu Yiping beside him, "Second Aunt, have you heard of this kind of Heaven Devouring Bloodline? In the Yang Family's ancestors, I don't think anyone has awakened this kind of Bloodline, right? "
Zhu Yiping glanced at him and calmly said, "There wasn't one before, but that doesn't mean there won't be one now. The Bloodline Attribute in a person's body is mysterious and unpredictable. Who can guarantee that they won't suddenly awaken it?"
"In this world, even the Immortal Bloodline that can revive from the dead exists. What's so strange about a Heaven Devouring Bloodline appearing?"
Zhu Huanan was speechless.
Second Aunt's words were so reasonable that he had nothing to say.
