Chapter 496: Blood Imprint
Ye Xiao gave the Blood Corpse"s Heart and gave it to the Demon Master.
"Yes! It is what I want!"
Staring at the Heart in his hand, the Demon Master excitedly nodded his head. Then he looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"
A smile appeared on Ye Xiao"s mind and said, "I want to enter the Blood Pond!"
"What? Impossible!" It was the Fourth Prince who once again shouted. He said, "Blood Pond is not a place where just anyone could enter. Don"t even dream about entering the Blood Pond!"
Ye Xiao sneered and said, "Fourth Prince, it"s not up to you to decide. Demon Master has yet to say anything, why are you poking your nose in where you are not needed?"
"You?"
The Fourth Prince pointed at Ye Xiao and gritted his teeth and was about to say something when the hoa.r.s.e voice of Demon Master sounded out, "Shut up!"
The Fourth Prince instantly shut his mouth. But inside his heart, he was flaring in hatred. He looked coldly at Ye Xiao but didn"t dare to say anything.
The Demon Master raised his head for the first time and looked at Ye Xiao.
A chill ran down Ye Xiao"s spine when he looked at the scary face of the Demon Master. The most frightening thing about the Demon Master was his dark red eyes that were filled with an evil aura.
"The Blood Pond will open three days later. You can enter the Blood Pond at that time." Saying this, the Demon Master shifted his gaze to look at the Heart in his hand before again saying, "You have done a very good job by bringing this Heart back. I"ll now give you the position of Demon General. Since you are a Demon General now, you don"t need to hide your strength!"
A shadow was shot towards Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao hurriedly caught the shadow and saw that it was actually the token that represents his status as the Demon General.
What shocked Ye Xiao the most was that the Demon Master was actually able to see through his strength. Demon Master can actually tell that Ye Xiao has been suppressing his strength and has not shown his true strength to anyone.
This Demon Master"s strength was really too terrifying. According to Ye Xiao"s guess, the Demon Master must have reached the Second Stage of the Dao Manifestation Realm, the Dao Soul Stage.
Ye Xiao simply nodded his head and accepted the order badge. He didn"t react when the Demon Master told him about his true strength.
With that, Ye Xiao left the Demon Master"s Hall.
After leaving the Demon Master"s Hall, there was immediately someone who led Ye Xiao to a grand and imposing mansion. Above the mansion, there was a dark-red general"s banner that fluttered in the wind.
"General Ye Xiao, this is a manor that the Demon Master"s Hall has specially instructed you to stay in. All the servants have been prepared, what other orders do you have?" The demon said.
Ye Xiao swept a glance across and nodded, "Very good, you may go."
Ye Xiao was only temporarily staying here. After the matter related to the Blood Pond was done and he could cultivate the Fifth Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
"Hey, why are you here?" A female voice suddenly sounded out beside Ye Xiao"s ear.
Ye Xiao turned his head to look back, only to realize that it was Cui Ting.
When they returned to the main altar, Cui Ting left without saying a word. However, she had already changed into a set of bright battle armor.
Ye Xiao noticed that there was an exquisite long sword attached to Cui Ting"s waist. A faint cold light appeared on the surface of the longsword. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary weapon.
"The sword is not bad." Ye Xiao praised when he saw this sword.
A proud look flashed past Cui Ting"s eyes as she laughed, "Of course, this is something that only a demon general can bestow to his subjects."
"This time, the Demon General did his best to protect the other disciples and made a great contribution. As a result, The Fourth Prince specially bestowed a countless number of treasures to the Demon General. Then the Demon General gave me one of them." Cui Ting was full of arrogance as she pulled out the sword and said.
Ye Xiao let out a long sigh and said, "What else do you want?"
Cui Ting"s eyes flashed with ridicule. She treated Ye Xiao"s current indifference as a deliberate attempt to conceal the jealousy in his heart.
Cui Ting laughed and said, "Recently, the main altar has obtained some treasures from the forbidden grounds. There is going to be an auction. Are you interested in joining the auction?"
Ye Xiao was a little surprised when he heard this. He muttered, "An auction?"
Cui Ting laughed sarcastically and said, "That"s right! An auction. That"s right, I"m afraid someone like you don"t even have the qualifications to enter."
"Forget it, it just so happens that the Fourth Prince has bestowed us a few entry tickets. I only have one more. You look pitiful. I"ll let you experience the world as well." Cui Ting threw a ticket in front of him and said.
Ye Xiao took a glance at it and discovered that it was only the most ordinary ticket. With this, he could enter the auction house and sit on the ordinary seat.
Ye Xiao waved his hand and shook his head, "Sorry, I"m not interested."
Ye Xiao still needed time to cultivate and in the auction, there might not be what Ye Xiao wanted.
Cui Ting scoffed and said, "Who told you to buy something? I"m inviting you just to let you experience the world. Other people might not even be able to get this ordinary ticket. Furthermore, It is said that there might be an ancient treasure appearing in this auction."
An Ancient Treasure?
This word suddenly touched upon Ye Xiao"s heart. He had just obtained the drops of Ancient Demon"s Blood. Now, there might be another treasure with the word ""ancient" attached to it appearing in the auction. It really attracted Ye Xiao"s attention.
Ye Xiao calmed down and indifferently replied, "Okay, when?"
Cui Ting laughed with satisfaction and said, "Right, that"s more like it. There"s no need for you to decline it. After all, this is a rare opportunity. The auction will be held tomorrow."
Ye Xiao kept the entry ticket and said, "I will remember this favour. I will definitely return this favour to you in the future."
With that, Ye Xiao turned and left.
"Return the favour to me? With just your strength? " Cui Ting sneered in her heart. She did not think that Ye Xiao"s strength would be that strong.
According to her, the only reason Ye Xiao could defeat the demon general of South Demon Alliance in the forbidden area was probably because of the treasure in his hand.
Right now, at the main altar of Blood Demon Sect, Ye Xiao would never use his treasure. He would just be a piece of trash.
Suddenly, Cui Ting saw Ye Xiao entering a magnificent mansion. She could not help but be slightly startled.
How is that possible?
But right after, an expression of enlightenment surfaced on Cui Ting"s face.
"So someone permitted him to live under their roof. No wonder." Cui Ting glanced at the mansion in front of her with a strange expression and muttered, "I wonder which demon general this is to actually not even put up a name tablet."
.....
Ye Xiao returned to his newly allocated room and immediately began cultivating.
Streams of blood energy were transmitted out from the blood imprint on his heart. Right now, Ye Xiao was trying to comprehend the martial arts technique or cultivation technique from this imprint.
Ye Xiao sat there motionlessly but his aura was getting stronger and stronger as time pa.s.sed.
The sky gradually darkened.
A servant arrived at this moment and crept up to knock on the door.
But just at that moment, from Ye Xiao"s house, a wave of berserk blood energy suddenly came out.
"Whoosh!"
The blood energy suddenly spread out and immediately smashed the door open.
A gust of wind blew past and immediately after that, on Ye Xiao"s heart, the imprint split itself into three parts and started spinning. Then the imprint suddenly stopped spinning and all three parts shone with bright red light one by one.
"Ugh!"
Ye Xiao suddenly felt as if something pointy suddenly stabbed in his heart.
What Ye Xiao feared the most happened. The blood imprint was now backlashing Ye Xiao.
Blood flowed out from Ye Xiao"s mouth.
Ye Xiao endured the pain and stopped comprehending the blood imprint. His energy had already become extremely chaotic. Ye Xiao first calmed down this chaotic energy within his body before he chose to use the method he thought of before.
He directly devoured the Blood Imprint using the Law of Devouring. Because imprints like Blood Imprint were not something that can be devoured or removed by normal means.
