"Then give that lowest-ranked one! Especially those damaged or flawed Divine Weapons!" Su Yu exclaimed angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes, my lord!"
At this moment, Chen Feng stepped into the temporary residence prepared for him. The initial shock he felt upon arrival gradually subsided, replaced by contemplation of the impending political turmoil.
Inside the room, Chen Moxuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a colorful and lively-eyed kitten perched on his shoulder—it was Tiger Brother. The cat lazily yawned, its tail swaying gently, exuding an air of leisure as if indifferent to the significant matters about to be discussed.
"You've returned." Chen Moxuan's voice was deep and authoritative, his eyes shimmering with wisdom. "Chen Feng, I have something to tell you."
"Yes, Ancestor!" Chen Feng responded, his expression turning serious as he stepped forward respectfully to listen. He knew that the Ancestor's words were never spoken lightly; each one heralded important changes or opportunities.
"In ancient times," Chen Moxuan began slowly, his tone heavy with gravity, "there was a malevolent being known as the Blood Emperor. He possessed the supreme ability to manipulate blood and devour lives, nearly dragging the entire continent into eternal darkness."
Ultimately, it was my master—no, many powerful beings united—who paid a heavy price to seal him away. But that seal is not eternal; as time passes, his power is gradually awakening. We must prepare for rain before the storm.
Chen Feng felt a chill run down his spine at the mention of the Ancient Evil Demon. Even he had only encountered such beings in ancient texts; their existence was a terrifying thought for modern cultivators.
"Ancestor, what should we do?" Chen Feng asked, a hint of confusion in his voice. Although the Blood Emperor had a notorious reputation, it didn't seem directly related to them.
"The Blood Emperor's seal is divided into seven locations across the continent," Chen Moxuan said with a deep gaze. "Coincidentally, one of those locations is in Da Ao Kingdom."
"I've been thinking about that ruin we discovered last time. It’s very likely that it belongs to the Blood Emperor's disciples who are searching for this seal."
"So, there’s something I need you to do."
Chen Feng's heart trembled at the thought of being connected to such a significant mission. "Ancestor, what do I need to do?" he asked firmly, determination shining in his eyes.
Chen Moxuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "First of all, don’t you have an acquaintance with the Crown Prince?"
"Since that's the case, let's have a chat with him," said Chen Moxuan.
The Crown Prince of the Da Ao Kingdom was deep in thought, with two armies under his command, all operating in secrecy. He was likely to be the next emperor. If the physical body of the Blood Emperor were to be discovered, it would be difficult for Yuan He and the Da Ao Kingdom to contain the situation.
"I need you to gather some information about the Crown Prince," Chen Moxuan continued. "As for me, I will be leaving for a while to confirm certain matters."
Chen Feng's expression turned slightly excited; he felt as if he and his ancestor were on a mission to save the world.
"By the way," Chen Moxuan suddenly added, "if you plan to return to the border and I haven't come back yet, you must take the opportunity to find something called the Blood Devouring Pearl. It can temporarily suppress the Blood Emperor's power and buy us some time." His tone was serious. "Additionally, I need you to seek out a hidden master. He possesses the key spells to reinforce the seal; only he can guide us on how to stabilize it completely."
Chen Feng nodded. Although he had countless questions swirling in his mind, he knew this was not the time for inquiries. Taking a deep breath, he asked, "Where can I find the Blood Devouring Pearl? And how do I locate that master?"
"The last clue for the Blood Devouring Pearl points to the forbidden area of Yomi Blood Valley in the Azure Wolf Kingdom!" Chen Moxuan replied. "It is fraught with danger, but it is also an essential route for you."
As he spoke, he took out an ancient map from his sleeve and slowly unfolded it. "As for that master, his whereabouts are elusive. However, once you arrive at Yomi Blood Valley, his location will naturally appear on this map, and you may have a chance to meet him."
Chen Feng accepted the map and token, feeling the heavy burden on his shoulders. Yet he did not waver; this was his mission and his honor. "Ancestor, I will do my utmost to complete this task," he said firmly.
With a smile on his face, Chen Moxuan left Chen Feng's room.
Beside him, Tiger Brother snorted disdainfully. "You can't fool a child with that."
Chen Moxuan shook his head. "I'm not fooling anyone; what I've said is the truth."
"Seven truths and three lies—aren't there lies among them?" Tiger Brother retorted dismissively.
Ignoring him, Chen Moxuan walked straight out. However, Tiger Brother suddenly fixed his cat-like eyes on him with curiosity.
"What exactly is your scheme? I can't shake the feeling that you're hiding something big!"
Chen Moxuan wore an innocent smile on his face. "Do you really think I'm that kind of person?"
Tiger Brother nodded vigorously. "The last time you gave me that vibe was when you killed Ao Yu from the Dragon Group, feasting on dragon meat and drinking dragon blood. You even told me it was good for strengthening the body. Ha!"
Seeing Tiger Brother's speechless expression, Chen Moxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, though his demeanor turned serious.
"This world has been too quiet for too long. I'm planning to let the Blood Emperor out for a stroll!"
Tiger Brother's fur bristled instantly. "What did you just say? Are you out of your mind? Immortal Emperor! Immortal Emperor! Look at your disciple; he's gone crazy! Come quickly!"
However, Chen Moxuan suddenly produced a jade pendant, which was faintly glowing with blue trigrams.
"Useless; she can't see me now!"
Tiger Brother transformed back to his true form, pressing his massive head against Chen Moxuan's as if trying to see him clearly. His enormous body occupied the entire street, yet passersby seemed oblivious to its presence.
"Chen Xiaozi, I can play along with most things, but this is no game!"
Chen Moxuan reached out his hand, and Tiger Brother instinctively placed his paw in Chen Moxuan's palm, behaving like a well-trained pup.
"Hey!" Chen Moxuan chuckled.
In an instant, Tiger Brother's demeanor shifted; he opened his mouth wide as if to swallow him whole but quickly shut it again at the thought of their painful past. His imposing aura diminished significantly.
"Fine, fine. If you can explain things clearly, I might let you off the hook a little."
Chen Moxuan seemed to drift back into memory. Although some details had faded, one thing remained crystal clear: when he dismembered the Blood Emperor, the latter had said something significant.
He mentioned that the day his disciple appeared would mark the beginning of turmoil. At that time, all those who had been suppressed by the Immortal Emperor—people, demons, ghosts, and monsters—would return. They weren't acting on premeditated plans; someone had already set up a grand scheme!
