The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 40: A Plan in the Shadows
After the auction ended, Chen Wu left the hall with calm steps. Night had fallen, and the city streets were beginning to fill with lanterns swaying gently in the wind. Yet the peaceful ambiance of the city could not distract Chen Wu from the ominous feeling that had been lingering since he exited the auction.At a quiet corner of an alley, Chen Wu slowed his pace. He stopped and spoke without turning around."How long do you plan on following me? Losing at the auction wasn’t enough for you?"The shadows behind him shifted. Four men emerged from the darkness, led by Fang Zhu, still holding his fan. His face was a picture of suppressed rage.“You’re quite bold, newcomer. Not only did you take the item I wanted, but you also humiliated me in front of everyone,” Fang Zhu said coldly.Chen Wu turned to face them, his expression calm. “I merely followed the auction’s rules. If that embarrassed you, perhaps the problem lies with your ego.”Fang Zhu growled. “Do you think I’ll let you leave u
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 41: The Gate to the Yin Clan
A bright morning greeted Chen Wu as he stepped out of the inn. The fresh air was soothing, but his mind remained restless. After the incident with Fang Zhu and his men, Chen Wu realized the time to infiltrate the Yin Clan’s territory was drawing near.“I need more detailed information about their structure and strength,” he muttered, adjusting the straw hat on his head. He walked toward a quieter district of the city, where merchants and informants often gathered.Chen Wu entered a small, unassuming tavern. In the corner of the room sat an old man in tattered robes, sipping tea. The man had a long white beard and piercing eyes like an eagle.Chen Wu approached and sat across from him. The old man glanced at him briefly before giving a faint smile. “Ah, you must be the newcomer looking for something,” he said warmly, though there was something in his tone that made Chen Wu cautious.“I’ve heard you have information about the Yin Clan,” Chen Wu said directly.The old man raised an eyebr
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 42: Footprints in Purple Mist Village
Chen Wu arrived at Purple Mist Village as the sun tilted westward, casting a soft glow that gave the village a peaceful impression. Yet, beneath the calm exterior, Chen Wu sensed an unusual atmosphere. The villagers seemed wary, avoiding eye contact and moving quickly as if afraid of being watched for too long.“This isn’t an ordinary village,” Chen Wu muttered as he adjusted the straw hat on his head. He walked slowly through the narrow paths, observing every corner of the village.During his stroll, Chen Wu stopped in front of a small tavern. The inviting aroma of warm food made his stomach grumble, but that wasn’t what caught his attention. In the corner of the tavern, a young woman in simple clothing sat alone, sipping tea. Her gaze was vacant, but the aura she exuded was markedly different from that of the other villagers.“She must be Yin Xue,” Chen Wu thought.Chen Wu entered the tavern and chose a table not too far from her. He ordered tea and a plate of snacks from the server
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 43: An Invitation from Yin Yue
Chen Wu had just left the tavern where he had obtained information about the Yin Clan. The cold night air enveloped Purple Mist Village, but his mind was filled with strategy and plans. His steps came to a halt when someone emerged from the shadows of a narrow alley.The man was dressed simply, but the aura he emitted was strong enough to suggest he was no ordinary person. His face was calm, yet his eyes were sharp."Chen Wu," the man called in a flat tone.Chen Wu turned to him with a cold gaze, his hand instinctively moving to the hilt of his sword. "Who are you? If you want to fight, make it quick."The man raised a hand, signaling for calm. "I’m not your enemy. I’ve been sent by someone you met earlier at the tavern."Chen Wu furrowed his brow. "Yin Yue?"The man nodded. "She wants to meet with you again. There’s something important she needs to discuss. She sent me to bring you to her."Chen Wu considered for a moment. Yin Yue was a member of the Yin Clan, but she seemed differen
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 44: Entering the Lion's Den
They passed through a side door near the gate, guarded by two men in black attire. Yin Yue made a subtle gesture, and without much questioning, the guards opened the door. The aura inside immediately felt denser, like a suffocating dark mist.Chen Wu remained calm, his eyes scanning every corner of the place. The entrance to the Yin Clan’s main residence was filled with dark ornaments and ancient symbols. In the center was a large garden, but instead of flowers, it was adorned with eerie statues depicting ferocious creatures."This place is dreadful," Chen Wu muttered.Yin Yue simply nodded. "The Yin Clan has long worshiped dark forces. It’s part of their heritage."As they continued walking, they arrived at a grand hall. The hall was illuminated by lanterns with an ancient design, their glow a ghostly bluish-green that cast an eerie atmosphere. On the walls hung portraits of the Yin Clan’s ancestors, their stern faces seeming to watch anyone who passed by."Beyond this hall is where
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 45: The Escape Route
Yin Yue swiftly pulled Chen Wu away as they saw a large group of soldiers moving toward them."Chen Wu, we can't fight them now. We need to leave," she urged.What Yin Yue didn’t realize was that the increasing deaths around them would only accelerate Chen Wu’s cultivation. That was why she panicked.Still, Chen Wu admitted that Yin Yue had a point. No matter how well his body absorbed death energy, fighting hundreds of opponents wouldn’t be easy. It was better to retreat for now."Do you have an escape route?" Chen Wu asked.Swoosh!A spear came flying toward him. Chen Wu slashed it in half with his sword, then said, "I'll hold them off here. Hurry!"Yin Yue bit her lip, hesitating for a moment before nodding quickly. "There’s a hidden path near the back garden. Follow me, and don’t fight for too long!"Chen Wu smirked slightly. "I won’t take too long, but they need to understand that I’m not an easy prey."Yin Yue dashed ahead while Chen Wu twirled his sword with swift movements, cr
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 46: The Path to the Ancient Artifact
Yin Yue carefully held the map, folding it so that only the part she wanted to show Chen Wu was visible. Intentionally, she leaned in closer, the space between them becoming almost nonexistent. The faint scent emanating from her made Chen Wu frown for a moment—a mixture of discomfort and caution stirring within him."Here," Yin Yue said softly, her voice layered with mystery. Her slender fingers pointed to a marked spot on the map, located in the north. "Not far from here, there's a cave that, according to legend, holds the Ancient Artifact of the Yin Clan. If we can get there before anyone else, it will be a huge advantage."Chen Wu studied the map, doing his best to ignore Yin Yue's proximity. He knew full well that she had her own ways of manipulating situations, whether through charm or other means, but he kept his focus sharp."A cave in the north?" Chen Wu repeated her words with a neutral tone, his wary gaze fixed on her. "Are you sure there aren’t traps or guards? An artifact
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 47: The Defiant Artifact
The stone warriors moved slowly, but each step sent tremors through the cave floor. One of them swung its colossal sword at Chen Wu. With incredible speed, Chen Wu leapt aside, retaliating with a slash of his own sword. Yet, his strike left only a small scratch on the warrior’s body.“Ordinary attacks won’t work,” Yin Yue said. She pulled out another talisman from her pocket and began chanting a spell. A golden light formed around her, creating a protective circle that kept the stone warriors at bay.Chen Wu realized that the death energy he possessed might hold the key to defeating these creatures. Closing his eyes briefly, he focused the energy into his sword. When he reopened them, his blade was cloaked in a dense black aura, radiating an intense, bone-chilling cold.With a powerful strike, Chen Wu attacked one of the stone warriors. This time, the creature’s body cracked and shattered into pieces.“Keep using that, Chen Wu!” Yin Yue shouted.Chen Wu continued his assault, destroyi

After several hours, Chen Wu opened his eyes. A sharp light flashed in them momentarily before dimming. He felt a newfound power coursing through his body, making every movement feel light yet brimming with energy.“This… is incredible,” he murmured, clenching his fists. He could sense the massive leap in his cultivation.Yuan Tian Enters the RoomThe door creaked open, and Yuan Tian stepped inside with measured steps. He looked at Chen Wu, who was still trying to process the changes within himself.“You managed to consume the elixir without losing control. That’s an impressive feat,” said Yuan Tian.Chen Wu stood up and bowed respectfully. “Thank you for your guidance, Master. Without today’s training, I might not have been able to control the energy from the elixir.”Yuan Tian gave a faint smile. “The elixir has granted you immense power, but that power is only useful if you know how to wield it. Starting tomorrow, our training will become even more rigorous. Prepare yourself.”Chen

Chapter 89: Intense Training Under Yuan Tian's Guidance
That morning, the sky was still painted in golden hues when Yuan Tian woke Chen Wu with a firm voice. "Get up, Chen Wu. Today, you’ll learn what it means to be strong!"Chen Wu blinked slowly, still feeling heavy with sleep. However, his master’s sharp gaze made him spring to his feet instantly. He knew there was no room for laziness today."Bring your sword and follow me," Yuan Tian commanded curtly.Chen Wu grabbed his sword and followed his master out of the inn toward a small forest outside the city. The place was silent, with only the sound of birds and the rustling wind in the trees.When they arrived at a small clearing surrounded by tall trees, Yuan Tian stopped and turned to Chen Wu. "You’ve obtained the Moon Spirit Flower Elixir, but that doesn’t guarantee greatness. True strength doesn’t come from elixirs or treasures but from understanding yourself."Chen Wu nodded earnestly. "I understand, Master. What should I do?"Yuan Tian placed his hands behind his back and said, "To

Chapter 88: A Meeting with the Master
That night, Chen Wu arrived at the modest inn where his master awaited. Carefully, he placed the Moon Spirit Flower Elixir into a wooden box lined with protective formations he had prepared in advance. His thoughts were still occupied with the events of the auction, but he knew he had to report everything to his master.Inside the dimly lit room, an elderly man with white hair sat cross-legged. Though his face was lined with wrinkles, his aura radiated calm and profound strength. He was Yuan Tian, Chen Wu's mentor and protector.As Chen Wu entered, Yuan Tian slowly opened his sharp yet compassionate eyes. "You’re late, Chen Wu. What happened at the auction?"Chen Wu bowed respectfully. "Master, I successfully acquired the Moon Spirit Flower Elixir. However, it was not easy. I had to sacrifice the Shadow Refinement Technique to secure it, and I attracted the attention of some dangerous individuals."Yuan Tian nodded slightly, as if he had anticipated this. "Obtaining something valuable

Chapter 87: Tensions Rise at the Auction
After several items had been auctioned, the atmosphere in the Purple Star Pavilion grew increasingly tense. When the auctioneer returned to the podium, he smiled mysteriously, signaling that the next item was something extraordinary.“Ladies and gentlemen, the next item is one of the most anticipated of the evening—Moon Spirit Flower Elixir! This elixir is renowned for its ability to rapidly and significantly enhance cultivation levels. However, it can only be used once in a lifetime, as its effects diminish drastically after the first use. Starting bid: forty thousand gold coins!”The crowd erupted into a commotion. Many cultivators began whispering and exchanging competitive glances. This was no ordinary item; it was a treasure capable of altering one’s cultivation path entirely.Chen Wu, seated at the back of the hall, sharpened his focus. He knew this was an opportunity he couldn’t afford to miss, even if it meant facing intense competition.“Fifty thousand!” a man in the front ro

Chapter 86: Struggle at the Auction
Night had fallen when Chen Wu entered the Purple Star Pavilion, a grand building bathed in a soft purple glow that captivated every gaze. The auction hall was filled with cultivators from various regions—some exuding intimidating auras, others appearing as wealthy merchants eager to acquire rare treasures.Chen Wu chose a seat near the back of the hall, far enough not to draw attention but close enough to observe the items on display. On the stage, a dignified auctioneer stood ready to commence the event.After several items were auctioned, the atmosphere grew tense as the auctioneer announced:"Next, the Green Sky Herb! This plant possesses the ability to purify spiritual energy and accelerate the recovery of internal injuries. Extremely rare, it can only be found in remote mountains rich in spiritual energy. Starting bid: twenty thousand gold coins!"Chen Wu's eyes lit up. This herb was one of the things he sought—not only for its remarkable benefits but also because it aligned with

Chapter 85: Emerging from the Misty Forest
After overcoming the final trial, the dense fog that had obscured Chen Wu and Li Feng's vision began to dissipate. The oppressive atmosphere of the Black Mist Mountains was gradually replaced by a view of clear skies and fresh air, offering a newfound sense of freedom.Chen Wu walked forward with steady steps, followed by Li Feng, who appeared calmer but visibly exhausted. Ahead of them, a rocky path led to an open plain, and in the distance, a thick forest marked the edge of the Black Mist Mountains."We made it," Li Feng said, his voice filled with relief.Chen Wu nodded. "Yes, we’re finally out."Li Feng looked at Chen Wu, his eyes showing deep respect. "I’ve learned so much from you, Chen Wu. You’re not just strong, but also wise. Thank you for helping me."Chen Wu gave a faint smile. "You’ve shown remarkable courage, Li Feng. You’re no longer the person you were when we first met."They paused briefly at the edge of the Black Mist Mountains. Li Feng turned to Chen Wu with a serio

Chapter 84: Shadows of the Past
Chen Wu and Li Feng continued their journey through the dense mist, which now seemed to conceal something sinister. Faint noises—perhaps the rustling of wind or distant footsteps—trailed them from afar. Yet Chen Wu remained calm, though his vigilance never wavered.“Do you feel like we’re being watched?” Li Feng whispered, his voice trembling.Chen Wu gave a small nod without turning. “Since we left the Mist Treasure Chamber, I’ve sensed something strange. Be ready for anything.”Li Feng tightened his grip on the small dagger in his hand.Suddenly, the mist ahead churned, as if alive and moving with its own will. Emerging from the fog was a tall figure radiating a suppressive aura. As the figure became clearer, Chen Wu saw that it was an elderly man with long, silver-white hair and sharp, hawk-like eyes.The man wore a black robe adorned with golden mist patterns. In his hand, he held a staff that shimmered with ancient symbols. His energy was so overwhelming that the air around him f

After leaving the Mist Treasure Chamber, Chen Wu and Li Feng made their way back into the forest, which now felt more foreboding. The dense mist that usually hung around them seemed to radiate an air of stillness, as if acknowledging that something monumental had occurred.Chen Wu, now feeling a new energy coursing through his body, walked calmly. Yet his mind lingered on the words spoken in the Mist Treasure Chamber: “True treasures are not merely found, but must also be protected.”Li Feng broke the silence, his voice tinged with awe. “Chen Wu, what exactly happened back there? You seem… different now.”Chen Wu turned to him with a faint smile. “I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like something within me has changed. Maybe the energy from that orb has strengthened me.”Li Feng nodded, though his confusion lingered. “I don’t know what you experienced, but one thing’s clear—you’re much stronger than me. If not for your bravery, I’d already be dead here.”Chen Wu lightly patted Li Feng’

Chapter 82: The Secret of the Mist Treasure Chamber
The mist thickened around them as Chen Wu and Li Feng ventured deeper, following the map inscribed on the ancient scroll they had just acquired. Every step grew heavier, as if the very air resisted their progress. Yet, beneath the exhaustion, a burning determination blazed within Chen Wu. The scroll had become a new guide, leading them toward something far greater than the blue crystal or the altar guardian.“Chen Wu,” Li Feng finally broke the heavy silence that surrounded them. “What do you think the Mist Treasure Chamber really is?”Chen Wu furrowed his brows, his eyes fixed on the path ahead. “I don’t know for sure. But if it’s guarded so fiercely, there must be something extraordinary inside.”Li Feng nodded slowly, though a lingering doubt gnawed at his heart. “But… if we find it, do you think we’ll make it out of here alive?”Chen Wu turned to him with a faint yet resolute smile. “We’ve come this far. I won’t let anything stop us now.”They pressed on, passing through towering
