Clang...
A crisp sword cry suddenly rings out.
A streak of cold white sword light cuts through.
Xiao Yi steps sideways, blocking Guu Lianxing behind him.
The fingers originally absorbing the blood-colored bead have been withdrawn.
In their place is a hand holding a sword, sweeping horizontally with a slash.
On the sword, cold white sword light mixed with surging starlight.
With one sweep, dozens of attacks are entirely scattered, none able to get close by an inch.
"Boy, what are you doing?"
"Damn it, the blood relic is returning to the Blood Pill."
The voice from within the Cold Flame Sword, filled with exasperation.
However, its exasperation did not change Xiao Yi’s decision.
The sword is in Xiao Yi’s hand, controlled by Xiao Yi.
Outside the main mansion.
A group of elders and eight Heavenly Talents, seen satisfied with a smile.
"Boy, you know your place."
"Didn’t expect, notorious little thief Xiao Yi is also a person who cherishes fragrance and protects jade."
From the moment Xiao Yi held the sword, it meant the fingers pulling the blood relic had already been withdrawn.
The blood relic, evidently an extraordinary item.
Without Xiao Yi’s forceful pull, it returned with remarkable speed into the huge Blood Pill, disappearing in but a breath.
To this, the Heavenly Talents and elders did not mind.
They only needed to ensure Xiao Yi could not obtain the blood relic.
Otherwise, if Xiao Yi took out the blood relic, even if they worked together to seize it.
After seizing it, what then?
Fight to the death among the Eight Mansions?
The Heavenly Talents and elders present were evenly matched in strength.
Any conflict among the Eight Mansions would only lead to mutual destruction.
Instead, it’s better to let the blood relic return to the massive Blood Pill.
As for the matters afterward, how to obtain the blood relic is for the mansion masters and some immensely cultivated old folks inside to ponder.
Who among the Eight Mansions can obtain it depends on one’s strength.
Though the eight Heavenly Talents and many elders did not express this openly, this was evidently their thought.
Inside the main mansion.
Xiao Yi’s expression was slightly grim.
But upon seeing Guu Lianxing unharmed behind him, he sighed in relief.
At this moment, Guu Lianxing cannot suffer any mishaps.
Those Qi-Blood forces are drawn from the massive Blood Pill.
With the power of this massive Blood Pill, if he relinquished guidance, the Qi-Blood force would surely be reabsorbed by the massive Blood Pill.
From the start, Xiao Yi noticed this massive Blood Pill, whether it’s due to internal prohibitions or its own ’thinking’.
The drawn Qi-Blood force also has a pulling force to return to the massive Blood Pill.
Thus, outsiders trying to absorb the internal Qi-Blood force face great difficulty.
With Xiao Yi’s methods and his cultivation in the Qi and Blood Dao, the absorption was still slow and challenging.
Only after cultivating the ’Blood Slaughter Demon Scripture’ did his speed of absorption greatly increase with its methods.
Guu Lianxing’s bloodline is so weak, it could never withstand the consequences of the Qi-Blood force being sucked back into the massive Blood Pill.
That would not only result in a complete loss but might also jeopardize Guu Lianxing’s life.
Not to mention Guu Lianxing being hit defenselessly by these dozens of Saint Emperor Realm elders.
That surely would lead to a fate of perishing.
"Master."
From the Wind Saint Pot at his waist, a hurried transmission.
Filled with extreme murderous intent.
This is the murderous intent from the Fog Demon.
