Chapter 1202 - 1202 Blood Spirit Pearl
1202 Blood Spirit Pearl
Xue Fanxin was not nervous at all when she was locked up in the prison, nor was she panicked. She sat calmly in the dark cell and sent a wisp of her divine sense into her s.p.a.ce to do her own thing. She did not care about anything else.
In comparison, quite a few people outside could not remain calm.
The people from the Yellow Cla.s.s were anxious, but they could not do anything. Yet at this moment, Tang Man could not be found. They were also new students who had just come to the Five Elements Academy, so they really could not do anything.
They had no choice but to be anxious. Furthermore, at dinner time, they could only go to the canteen to eat. Because Xue Fanxin was not leading them, they could only eat on the first floor.
Only after a comparison did they realize how delicious the food on the second floor was.
Because Xue Fanxin had been locked up in the prison, Sang Ruoxin was especially happy. Although she could not come to the temporary freshman canteen to eat, she could still block the door. She could not vent her anger on Xue Fanxin for the time being, but it was not bad to collect some benefits from the Yellow Cla.s.s.
When Shui Moning and the others came out of the canteen after eating, Sang Ruoxin’s followers went forward to block the way.
“Yo, yo, yo. Without Xue Fanxin, even going to the second floor to eat is a problem. If Xue Fanxin leaves the Five Elements Academy, won’t you even have a problem eating?”
“These people are all trash. Of course trash people only live like trash.”
“Shui Moning, why don’t you stay at home and follow that useless father of yours in the Shui family? What are you doing in the Five Elements Academy?”
“Look at these people. Without Xue Fanxin backing them, they don’t even dare to breathe heavily. They’re really cowards.”
“How can trash from the Yellow Cla.s.s not be cowardly?”
Huo Lieyun was enraged. He wanted to hit someone, but he was pulled back by Shi Bo and Jin Zhengming. “Lieyun, we’re men. We won’t argue with these women.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I won’t argue with them. Let them talk trash. Anyway, they can only talk fast and can’t do anything. Furthermore, Fanxin’s matter is not certain. After all, the evidence is not enough. Coupled with Fanxin’s special ident.i.ty, I think nothing will happen to her. She might come out in a few days. When the time comes, I’ll let Fanxin deal with these annoying women.”
“Let’s go. Out of sight, out of mind.”
Huo Lieyun was still very angry, but he was still pulled away by the others.
Sang Ruoxin shot a look at the people around her.
A few people who understood what Sang Ruoxin meant immediately started to lead the way to cause trouble.
“Trash from the Yellow Cla.s.s, don’t tell me that without Xue Fanxin, you really don’t have a temper at all? You don’t even dare to quarrel, so you might as well not even be human. Trash like you still dare to come to the Five Elements Academy. You’re really embarra.s.sing the academy.”
“They’re useless to begin with. Useless people are embarra.s.sing wherever they go?”
“Trash, trash… Get lost from the Five Elements Academy.”
Hearing these words, Huo Lieyun was even angrier. If it were any other time, he would definitely be so angry that he would go crazy and fight. But now, he was pulled too tightly and could not attack at all. In the end, he was dragged back to the Yellow Cla.s.s.
When Sang Ruoxin saw this scene, her mood improved even more. Then, she looked in the direction of the Disciplinary Hall. “Xue Fanxin, you’d best stay in the Disciplinary Hall for the rest of your life and not come out. Otherwise, I’ll make your outcome even more tragic.”
Xue Fanxin did not care about what was going on outside at all. She stayed in the prison and messed around in her s.p.a.ce. She only came out in the middle of the night when she sensed that something was wrong and raised her guard.
Not only was the prison of the Disciplinary Hall heavily guarded, but every cell was also built with special materials and bound by array formations. It was very difficult for ordinary cultivators to escape.
Not only that, but it was also very difficult to enter the prison without permission.
At this moment, a disciple in the clothes of the Disciplinary Hall walked towards Xue Fanxin. He came to the cell Xue Fanxin was in and opened the small light vent at the door. Seeing that the person inside was sleeping soundly, he quietly opened the door and took out a blood-red pearl from his interspatial ring.
When the blood-red pearl approached Xue Fanxin, it immediately emitted an intense red light and began to silently absorb her spirit energy.
However, just as it started to absorb, Xue Fanxin suddenly opened her eyes.
This sudden opening of her eyes shocked the man, but his reaction was very fast. He immediately attacked, wanting to knock Xue Fanxin out or kill her, but what happened next was completely unexpected.
He was actually not Xue Fanxin’s match?
He, a Mystic Spirit Realm expert, could not defeat a Mystic King Realm expert. How was this possible?
The opponent was too weak. Xue Fanxin defeated him in two or three moves. She even stepped on his back and s.n.a.t.c.hed his pearl. She held it in her hand and studied it carefully. “You used this pearl to suck away people’s blood essence and spirit energy, right? No wonder the people you killed didn’t look like the doing of evil cultivators. What is this pearl?”
“Return it to me.” Even if the man was being stepped on, he wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the pearl back, but he could not resist at all. The despair in his eyes deepened.
“Friend, I think you should be concerned about your life the most now, not this pearl. In order to lure you out, I spent a night in a cell in the Disciplinary Hall.”
“You…”
Could it be that Xue Fanxin had entered the punishment cell of the Disciplinary Hall on purpose?
He had found it strange up till now. With Xue Fanxin’s glib tongue, she could turn black into white. How could she confess and be captured so easily?
It turned out that she had been setting a trap from the beginning and waiting for him to take the bait. Unfortunately, he did not know at all and delivered himself to her doorstep.
But so what?
“Xue Fanxin, you’d best return the pearl and let me go. Otherwise, you’ll die even more miserably. There are people behind me that you can’t afford to offend. Even if you’re the granddaughter of the King of the Desolate Region, if you dare to ruin his plans, you’ll definitely suffer.”
“Then tell me, who’s behind you? If you can really scare me, I might return the pearl to you out of fear.”
“Then listen carefully. I have the Nine Nether Holy Land behind me. If you know what’s good for you, quickly let go of me and return the pearl to me.”
“Nine Nether Holy Land.” Xue Fanxin had thought that the other party would say something about the king of a continent or region, or even a G.o.d from the Divine Realm. She had not expected it to be the Nine Nether Holy Land.
She did not know much about the Nine Nether Holy Land. Ah Jiu had left for more than 200 years. Perhaps there were really some sc.u.ms in the Nine Nether Holy Land.
However, she should tell Ah Jiu about this, in case he was careless and did not know about it.
Just as Xue Fanxin was thinking about this, a certain lord had already appeared in the cell out of thin air.
“Xin’er, are you thinking about me?”
The person who was being stepped on by Xue Fanxin saw Ye Jiushang appear out of thin air with his own eyes and was quite frightened. “You… you, you, you…”
Who was this person? Why had he suddenly appeared in the prison of the Disciplinary Hall?
“Ah Jiu, why are you here?” Xue Fanxin did not think that a small Disciplinary Hall could stop Ye Jiushang, so she was not shocked that he had appeared out of thin air.
“I missed you, so I came. Actually, if you want to find out the mastermind, there’s no need to use yourself as bait.” Ye Jiushang looked at Xue Fanxin’s clothes that were stained with a little moisture and was very displeased.
If not for the fact that this girl was willing to be locked in the cell of the Disciplinary Hall, even if she had really killed someone, as long as she did not want to, forget about the cell, she would not even have to come to the Disciplinary Hall.
However, this girl wanted to play by herself.
He had no choice but to let her be.
“It’s faster this way. I don’t have so much time to waste on these boring people. With my talent in all elements, they won’t let me off. Since they want to pin the crime of the murderer on me, I’ll fulfill their wishes.”
From the first time she was suspected of being a murderer, she had already been wary. From the evil cultivator who appeared in the Yellow Cla.s.s last night to the murder this morning… It was not difficult to guess that the mastermind wanted to send her to the Disciplinary Hall, or at the very least, make her suffer punishment.
In that case, she would beat them at their own game and stay in the Disciplinary Hall.
Initially, she thought that she would have to stay for a few days. She had not expected the other party to be so impatient and attack that night.
Xue Fanxin took the pearl in her hand and showed it to Ye Jiushang. “Ah Jiu, do you know what this pearl is? I just studied it. It’s a pearl that can absorb spirit energy and blood essence without leaving any traces. Mo Ning and the others’ spirit energy should have been absorbed by this.”
Ye Jiushang took a look and said, “This is the Blood Spirit Pearl. It is both good and evil. Whether it is good or evil depends on the person who uses it. This thing is not bad. You can keep it. If you encounter a powerful enemy, just take it out and suck his spirit energy dry. After the pearl purifies his spirit energy, you can slowly absorb it yourself. The spirit energy transformed by the Blood Spirit Pearl is very pure. It is a treasure that cultivators dream of. However…”
“But what?”
“However, this pearl has a forbidden technique on it. Only the caster can use it. Let me resolve the forbidden technique on it first.” Ye Jiushang took the Blood Spirit Pearl over and casually used a little spirit energy to resolve the forbidden technique on it.
At the same time, Elder Sang, who was somewhere in the courtyard, suddenly flew into a rage when he sensed that the forbidden technique of the Blood Spirit Pearl had been removed.
“Who removed the forbidden technique on the Blood Spirit Pearl? Who, who, who…”
This Blood Spirit Pearl was his treasure. He had still wanted to rely on it to advance to the Deity Realm. Now that the forbidden technique of the Blood Spirit Pearl had been resolved and he did not know where it had gone, how could he not be angry?
No matter how angry Elder Sang was, Xue Fanxin did not know and did not want to know. She took the Blood Spirit Pearl that the forbidden technique had been removed from and liked it more and more. “This treasure is not bad. It can absorb the enemy’s spirit energy and purify it. Ah Jiu, can it also absorb blood essence?”
“That’s right, but the blood essence it absorbs can’t be used by others. Instead, it can be absorbed by itself, so this pearl is called the Blood Spirit Pearl. The more blood essence the Blood Spirit Pearl absorbs, the stronger the energy, and the purer the spiritual energy it transforms into.”
“Then this treasure is mine now, hehe!”
She had spent a night in prison in exchange for a treasure. It was worth it.
The man who was being stepped on protested again, “Return the Blood Spirit Pearl to me, quickly return it to me. I have the support of the people from the Nine Nether Holy Land behind me. You’d best be sensible, or else…”
“Otherwise what? Why don’t you tell us what position your supporter from the Nine Nether Holy Land holds? Let our King of the Nine Nether Holy Land, see who is causing trouble in the Five Elements Academy.”
“There’s no harm in telling you. It’s the guardian of the Nine Nether Holy Land. His surname is…” The man was halfway through when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He pondered Xue Fanxin’s words carefully and became more and more panicked. “What did you just say?”
The King of the Nine Nether Holy Land?
Wasn’t that the Nine Nether King?
The man in front of him was the Nine Nether King.
No, no. The Nine Nether King had not appeared for hundreds of years. How could this person be the Nine Nether King?
“How dare you pretend to be the Nine Nether King? Aren’t you afraid of offending the Nine Nether Holy Land?”
“I realized that the people from the Five Elements Academy are quite low in intelligence and are not very smart. I’m really worried about the future of the Five Elements Academy!”
“How naughty.” Ye Jiushang pinched Xue Fanxin’s face, his eyes filled with doting. Then, he asked, “What do you plan to do with this person? Kill him or keep him?”
“Bring him back to the Nine Nether Holy Land and let him admire the scenery. At the same time, let’s entertain him and see if he can say anything nice. If he can, let him go on stage and perform a good show in the future.”
How could Ye Jiushang not understand the meaning in Xue Fanxin’s words? He smiled slightly and said, “Alright, we’ll do as you say. The Disciplinary Hall will release you later. During this period of time, you can play by yourself in the Five Elements Academy. There are some urgent matters to deal with over there, so I might not have time to come over these few days. If there’s anything you can’t resolve, call Chuge and the others.”
“Don’t worry. I came to the Five Elements Academy to cultivate, not to play with these unimportant people. If you have something to do, go do it. Remember to miss me when you have time.”
“Then you have to miss me when you have time.”
“Yes, yes. I will.”
“I’ll miss you too.”
When the person being stepped on heard these mushy words, he was very speechless. He really wanted to say, “Can you guys flirt somewhere else? There’s someone else here.”
The man still wanted to say something, but before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly soared into the air. Immediately after, he was enveloped by a powerful spirit energy. He did not know what happened next. He only knew that when he opened his eyes, he was already elsewhere.
The moment Ye Jiushang left, the Disciplinary Elder came. When he saw the opened cell door, he was a little puzzled and shocked. “Who opened this door?”
“It should be the murderer, but he… ran away.” Xue Fanxin casually found an excuse to brush it off, not planning to explain it to the elder.
“He ran away? That’s impossible. The Disciplinary Hall is not a place ordinary people can come and go as they please, let alone open the cell door.”
“Therefore, the Disciplinary Elder should investigate carefully and see if there are spies in your Disciplinary Hall. That person wanted to kill me and suck my spirit energy and blood essence dry. Unfortunately, his skills were inferior and he could not defeat me, so he ran. If you don’t believe me, we can spar.”
Disciplinary Elder looked at Xue Fanxin suspiciously, but he was not in the mood to spar now, nor would he spar with a new disciple. Now that he had already found out that Xue Fanxin was not the murderer, he naturally had to let her go.
“I’ve already investigated. Although the statements of Sun Jianyi and the others are consistent, the injuries on the victim were caused by a man. Furthermore, you have evidence of an alibi, so you can be cleared of suspicion. You can leave the Disciplinary Hall now.”
“Elder, you’re indeed perceptive. Then I’ll go back first.” Xue Fanxin had long expected this outcome, so she was not shocked or excited at all. She left calmly.
Although Sun Jianyi and the others had seen her kill with their own eyes, such things could also be fake. After all, the Face Changing Pill was not difficult to find. Furthermore, she had evidence of her alibi.
If she had not been willing to let them frame her, forget about the crime, even the suspicion would not have fallen on her.
“Sigh… The intelligence of the people from the Five Elements Academy is really a little low!” Xue Fanxin left the Disciplinary Hall and muttered to herself on the way back to the Yellow Cla.s.s.
She was only talking to herself and had never thought of anyone responding, but…
“The intelligence is indeed a little low.”
When Xue Fanxin heard the voice, she immediately stopped in her tracks and looked at the empty surroundings. “Who is it?”
At this moment, a man in a robe embroidered with bamboo patterns walked over from the side. His aura was very clean, like a gentleman among bamboo, but he was also very cold. There was a mysterious aura in his coldness, making people unable to figure it out.
“Would you believe me if I said that I was the dean of the Five Elements Academy?”
“If I say that I am the Nine Nether Consort of the Nine Nether Holy Land, will you believe me?”
“I believe you.”
“Oh, okay.” Xue Fanxin only said okay, and all her vigilance immediately disappeared. She walked forward as if nothing had happened and ignored the man.
The man thought that Xue Fanxin would say something else to him next, but unexpectedly, she left without saying a word, making his expression instantly stiffen.
“Hey, hey, hey, little girl, aren’t you curious who I am?”
“If you’re not from the Nine Nether Holy Land, you’re someone the Nine Nether King is familiar with. What’s there to be curious about? I should have quite a few people from the Nine Nether Holy Land by my side. Perhaps you’re one of them.”
“What kind of logic is that? I didn’t say that I was from the Nine Nether Holy Land, nor did I say that I was familiar with the Nine Nether King, nor did I say anything of the like. How did your logic come about?”
“There aren’t many people who believe that I’m the Nine Nether Consort of the Nine Nether Holy Land. Apart from idiots and lunatics, only our own people will believe me. I don’t think you look like an idiot or a lunatic. You must be one of us, right? Furthermore, you don’t have any ill will towards me. Brother, do you have anything else to ask? If not, then I’ll leave. I’m in a hurry to go back and catch up on my sleep!”
Xue Fanxin did not give the man a chance to answer and continued to leave.
The man did not follow Xue Fanxin anymore. Instead, he stood on the spot and watched her leave. He smiled leisurely and said, “This girl is really interesting. She’s actually not attracted by my charm. Could it be that my charm is not as good as before?
“That’s impossible, right?”
Xue Fanxin returned to the Yellow Cla.s.s and sensed her surroundings. She realized that everyone was asleep, so she did not disturb them and wanted to return to her room to rest.
However, just as she was about to return to her room, she noticed a figure suddenly flash past. Hence, she immediately chased after them, but halfway through, it disappeared.
Who was that figure?
She was very certain that it was not the person who had appeared last night.
Because she could not track him, there was not even a trace of his aura, so Xue Fanxin could only give up and return to her room to rest. However, because of this, she was much more careful than usual.
After Xue Fanxin left, a person in a black robe appeared out of thin air in a dark place in the forest. This person stood rooted to the ground and looked in Xue Fanxin’s direction in a daze.
That girl was really capable. She had actually come to the Five Elements Academy so quickly.
However, the more this was the case, the more danger she would come into contact with. She hoped that she could truly become stronger before being discovered by those people. At the very least, she had to have the ability to protect herself.
And that Ye Jiushang… Who was he?
Xue Fanxin really had no idea who the black-clothed person was. After returning to the room and thinking for a long time, she could not think of who it was. She might as well not think about it and sleep well.
The next morning, the news that Xue Fanxin had been released from the Disciplinary Hall spread.
Sang Ruoxin had originally wanted to cause trouble for Shui Moning and the others again, but unexpectedly, she woke up early in the morning and found out about this news. She was quite angry.
“What? Xue Fanxin has been released? How is that possible?”
“Sister Ruoxin, this is real. She was released last night, and she was personally released by the Disciplinary Elder. It’s said that he has already found out that Xue Fanxin is not the murderer, so he released her.”
“What do you mean she’s not the murderer? So many people saw it with their own eyes. Can’t they prove that she’s the murderer? Even if she’s not the real murderer, she’s still a suspect. Since she’s a suspect, why can she still come out?”
“We don’t know what’s going on either. Anyway, Xue Fanxin came out of the Disciplinary Hall.”
“This d.a.m.ned Xue Fanxin. Why is she so good at causing trouble?” The more Sang Ruoxin thought about it, the angrier she became. She was really unhappy, so she went to look for Elder Sang alone.
Elder Sang had been angry since last night. When he found out that Sang Ruoxin had come to look for him, although he was in a bad mood, he still saw her.
The moment Sang Ruoxin saw Elder Sang, she asked, “Fifth Uncle, why was Xue Fanxin released? Didn’t you say that even if she didn’t die this time, she would be expelled from the Five Elements Academy?”
“The Disciplinary Elder investigated this matter thoroughly and found new evidence to prove that Xue Fanxin is innocent, that’s why he let her out. Ruoxin, Xue Fanxin is not simple. Don’t get into a conflict with her for the time being.” Elder Sang advised her, suppressing the anger in his heart. He did not want Sang Ruoxin to provoke Xue Fanxin again.
He did not know what had happened last night, but the fact that Xue Fanxin was safe and sound meant that the person he had sent had failed.
Not only had he failed, but he had also lost his Blood Spirit Pearl. This made him very angry.
He had originally wanted to suck Xue Fanxin’s spirit energy and blood essence dry. After all, the better the talent, the better the blood essence. This way, the Blood Spirit Pearl could become stronger. Unexpectedly, the outcome was beyond his expectations. He could not even contact the people he had planted in the Disciplinary Hall.
Could it be that they were dead?
“Fifth Uncle, I just can’t stand that Xue Fanxin. I want her dead. You’re an elder of the Five Elements Academy. Can’t you even deal with a new student from the Yellow Cla.s.s?” Sang Ruoxin only wanted to get rid of Xue Fanxin now, nothing else.
“Xue Fanxin might have an expert by her side, so it’s a little difficult to touch her, unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Ruoxin, calm down first. When you go to the secret realm, Xue Fanxin will be alone. It won’t be too late for you to kill her then. It’s very normal for death to happen in the secret realm. Don’t worry, I’ll help you then.”
He had lost the Blood Spirit Pearl. Xue Fanxin had to die.
