What’s wrong with chatting with the dead?
What has the Kou family done to provoke so many people to attack this place? Chen Anlin thought.
"You must be an outsider, no wonder you don’t know. The Kou family has colluded with the demons of the Taijiao sect and discovered the Blood Pool of Taijiao here, so everyone wants them dead," said a man with a bushy beard, his expression righteous.
"I see." Chen Anlin's expression suddenly turned serious. He patted the bushy-bearded man's shoulder. "The demons of Taijiao indeed deserve to die. I’ll join in too. By the way, where is the place in the Kou residence where they keep their treasures?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then Chen Anlin's grip tightened, and he spoke in a cold tone, "I advise you to think carefully about your answer, or you might lose that shoulder of yours."
"Please spare me!" The bushy-bearded man quickly said, realizing Chen Anlin was not to be trifled with. "I’ve heard that next to the Blood Pool in the Kou residence, there’s a basement filled with treasures and various herbs!"
"I want Blood Pills," Bai Yu Xianzi shouted urgently from within the Spirit Storage Pearl.
"Are there Blood Pills?" Chen Anlin asked.
"Yes, I’ve heard there are many," the bushy-bearded man replied hastily.
Blood Pills are notoriously cruel to make, as they are crafted from the blood and flesh of living people. Many martial artists collect Blood Pills for their cultivation, so he wasn’t surprised by this.
"You can leave now." Chen Anlin released his grip and walked toward the main entrance.
"Haha, I’m going to get rich! I’m going to find a lot of silver!"
"What’s silver compared to finding ten or more gold treasures?" Excited voices echoed from within some rooms.
However, it wasn’t long before sounds of clashing swords and blades filled the air.
"These are all mine! Get away!"
Chen Anlin naturally looked down on these trivial possessions. He sensed something and made his way deeper into the residence.
The smell of blood was overwhelming, clearly indicating the location of the Blood Pool.
The White Jade Fairy shouted excitedly, "Blood Pill! I can smell the Blood Pill! Chen Anlin, hurry up!"
In recent days, Chen Anlin's supply of Blood Pills had been nearly depleted due to her consumption. Her soul power had increased significantly, and she had been worried about running out of Blood Pills in the future. Little did she expect that a trip outside would lead her to such an opportunity.
At this moment, in a basement within the Guofu, which was quite spacious, there was a Blood Pool in the center filled with the severed limbs of corpses. Surrounding the Blood Pool were numerous bodies of martial artists who had died fighting over the treasures here.
In one corner of the room, there was still one person remaining. This individual possessed considerable strength. After exchanging wary glances with one another, a striking woman on the far right spoke up, "It seems we are the only ones left with some strength. If we continue to fight, we will only benefit others. How about we negotiate? What do you think about sharing the treasures here?"
Upon hearing this, although the other four remained cautious of their surroundings, they ultimately nodded in agreement.
However, their consensus was short-lived as more people entered. A burly man with a dark face snorted coldly and turned to address the newcomers.
At the edge of the Blood Pool stood a young man who was curiously gazing into it. Behind him trailed a quirky little girl who glanced at the group and waved cheerfully, "Hello everyone!"
The crowd reacted with disdain: "Where did this little brat come from? Doesn't she know any better?" The striking woman scoffed, having mistaken Chen Anlin and Yu Xiaoling for corpses.
Chen Anlin turned around and smiled, "No need to mind me; you all can continue fighting."
"Kid, you should know who we are. This place belongs to us now; you better scram!" the burly man growled angrily.
"No, no, you've misunderstood. The treasures here are fated to be mine," Chen Anlin said as he walked closer.
"Kid, it's understandable if you want a piece of our pie, but claiming that these treasures are fated for you is quite arrogant," remarked a refined-looking man holding a folding fan.
"What's wrong with being a bit arrogant when talking to dead men?" Chen Anlin retorted.
At this remark, everyone narrowed their eyes and surrounded Chen Anlin with unfriendly expressions. However, another graceful woman seemed to sense that Chen Anlin was not ordinary. She furrowed her brow and asked, "May I ask who this young master is?"
"I am Chen Anlin," he replied calmly. "Now I’m giving you all a chance: leave immediately! Otherwise, you might really end up like those corpses."
The delicate woman’s expression changed slightly; it turned out to be the Empress's lackey, Chen Anlin.
"Is it really that Chen Anlin from the capital?" The burly man with a dark complexion felt a jolt in his heart and asked.
"What do you think?"
A collective gasp escaped the crowd.
"I don’t believe it. Chen Anlin from the capital would come here, and someone like him could never be alone," the burly man shook his head and replied.
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed; it made sense.
"Hehe, I believe he is indeed Young Master Chen. Young Master Chen, I am Hu Yaoyao. Since you just arrived here, you must be unfamiliar with this place. I would be happy to be your guide," she said, swaying her hips as she approached Chen Anlin, looking pitifully at him. "What do you think, Young Master Chen?"
But suddenly, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
With a cold snort, Hu Yaoyao suddenly shot out a dagger from her sleeve, aimed straight at Chen Anlin's eyes.
"You brat, whether you are Chen Anlin or not, you will die for sure!"
This was her unique hidden weapon, incredibly fast; even a fourth-tier martial artist had fallen to it before. She felt that this young man would be easy to deal with.
However, the dagger struck something with a thud, as if hitting an object.
It turned out to be the Shield Jade activating its protective magic.
Immediately after, Chen Anlin seized the woman by the neck.
"You have caught my attention," he said.
Crack!
The woman’s neck twisted at an unnatural angle, and she died on the spot.
The burly man raised his axe in shock; he had initially planned to coordinate with her but hadn’t expected her to be so useless that she ended up dead.
Now he found himself in a dilemma—should he lower the axe or swing it? It was an incredibly awkward situation.
Chen Anlin looked at him. "Do you want to make a move against me?"
"It’s a misunderstanding!" The burly man swallowed hard.
