Chapter 239 Blood Devouring Power

Just when Nie Tian was puzzled, two figures in a VIP box of a teahouse in the distance had taken in everything.

The two figures, one was a thin and short old man with wrinkles on his face, like a skin wrapped around a skeleton, and the skeleton was very small, looking only the height of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.

But the old man's eyes were very bright, shining brightly, revealing a strange look.

Opposite the old man, sat a young woman in white clothes as white as snow.

The young woman, spotless, like an orchid in the valley, looked into the distance, which happened to be the direction where Nie Tian and others were.

Although they were thousands of meters apart, the woman could see everything clearly.

Her eyes were ice blue, as if they were extremely cold, and if you looked at them, you would freeze people.

If Nie Tian was here, he would definitely scream, because this young woman was none other than the beautiful dean of Bayun College, Ruoyu Qianye!

"Old Li, are these three Uncle Lei's sons?" Ruoyu Qianye suddenly asked, with a rare look of joy in her eyes.

"Yes." The old man called Old Li bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Saintess, these three are Lei Fuyi's orphans. When the Holy Palace was destroyed, Lei Fuyi and the Palace Master chose to live and die with the Holy Palace, and let this old slave and others take the women and children in the palace away. This old slave is incompetent. There are more than 300 children in the Holy Palace, but only these three were saved."

When Old Li said this, many past events echoed in his mind, and his dry face was soaked with tears.

Ruoyu Qianye said calmly, "Mr. Li, the Blood Slaughter Palace no longer exists. Don't call me the Saint anymore."

"Saint!" When Mr. Li heard this, he was shocked and knelt down, saying sadly, "Although the Saint Palace no longer exists, you are still alive. As long as you live, there will always be hope for the Saint Palace."

Ruoyu Qianye did not look at Mr. Li, but closed her icy blue eyes, sighed softly, and a hint of fatigue appeared on her beautiful face.

After a moment, Ruoyu Qianye opened his eyes again, regaining his usual coldness, and said, "Mr. Li, please get up. Just call me Miss from now on."

"Yes, Saint... Miss." Mr. Li answered respectfully, then he paused for a moment and said, "Miss, Dahu and the other three have been practicing with me since they were young. Although their strength is not top-notch, they can still stand on their own. Moreover, they have been to the Blood Slaughter Land. If Miss really wants to enter the Blood Slaughter Ancient Tomb, take them with you. The three of them are worthy of Miss's complete trust. They will definitely be able to help at the critical moment..."

"No need." Without waiting for Mr. Li to finish, Ruoyu Qianye interrupted him and said, "Let the three of them stay in Tianluo City. I know the Lord of Tianluo City, and I will say hello to him later."

"Miss." Li Lao frowned and finally said, "Miss, the Blood Slaughter Tomb is extremely dangerous. Every time someone enters it, less than one in a hundred can come out safely, and those who come out are also..., this old slave still thinks that Miss should not take the risk. You are the last hope of the Holy Palace."

"Li Lao, don't persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind." Ruoyu Qianye's tone was calm, but it seemed very resolute.

The Blood Slaughter Tomb is the ruins of the ancient demon king that is opened once every five years. It is rumored that there are countless ancient pill recipes and peerless martial arts in the ancient tomb, and there are also many rare medicinal materials.

However, the Blood Slaughter Tomb is extremely dangerous. Every time it is opened, less than one in a hundred people who enter the ancient tomb can come out alive, and what is even more strange is that everyone who comes out of the ancient tomb either becomes a madman or a fool.

It is rumored that there are ancient monsters in the Blood Slaughter Tomb. Those who enter the tomb are either swallowed by the monsters or scared crazy by the monsters.

"Miss, can't you wait until the next time the tomb is opened?" Mr. Li knows his young lady's temper very well. Although he knows there is no hope, he still said.

Ruoyu Qianye shook his head slightly and said, "The next time the tomb is opened will be five years later. I can't wait. With my current body, can I live another five years?"

Ruoyu Qianye only said the following sentence in her heart and did not tell Mr. Li.

Ruoyu Qianye is now at the first level of Zhenyuan. According to the lifespan of ordinary warriors, she can live for 500 years.

When warriors practice, their physique is far superior to that of ordinary people. Every time their strength is improved by one level, they can increase their lifespan by 100 years.

But Ruoyu Qianye has her own unspeakable secret. Her double pupils are the seventh-ranked Nine-Color Pupils among the Ten Innate Ten Pupils, which are more terrifying than the Purple Extreme Demon Pupils of the Purple Emperor among the Nine Emperors of the Heaven Realm.

Moreover, Ruoyu Qianye's nine-color pupils have already opened, and the first pupil is blue, so her eyes are ice blue.

The opening of the nine-color pupils not only gives Ruoyu Qianye stronger combat power, but also has a side effect, which is to devour the blood in the body.

Blood is the essence of a warrior's vitality. If the blood is weak, the warrior's body will also become weak.

So Ruoyu Qianye knew that if she didn't find a way to offset the blood-eating power of the nine-color pupils, she would not be able to live for another five years, or even a year.

What's more fatal is that if her nine-color pupils open a second pupil, the blood-eating power will inevitably increase exponentially, and her life will be even shorter at that time.

The Blood Slaughter Ancient Tomb opens once every five years. According to the current situation, Ruoyu Qianye can't wait for the next five years, so she won't miss this opportunity, she must go.

Ruoyu Qianye was originally an orphan adopted by the previous dean of Bayun College.

From childhood to adulthood, she didn't know her life experience until Li Lao appeared in Lanyun City five years ago and found her.

Ruoyu Qianye learned from Li Lao that she was from the Blood Slaughter Land, the most dangerous place in the Three Thousand Small Worlds, and she was also the saint of the Blood Slaughter Palace, which once ruled the Blood Slaughter Land.

The Blood Slaughter Palace was destroyed by a mysterious force twenty years ago. At that time, Ruoyu Qianye was still a baby and was not in the Blood Slaughter Palace, so she escaped.

After knowing her life experience, Ruoyu Qianye fell into deep pain. The burden on her shoulders suddenly became heavy, as if a mountain was pressing on her chest, and she felt breathless at any time and anywhere.

Ruoyu Qianye's nine-color pupil was opened five years ago, so she has been swallowing blood for five years.

Five years, the pain in it is something that no one can understand.

"Li Lao, go and tell the Lei brothers to stay in Tianluo City. I'm going to sign up for the Dragon Blood Martial Arts Association." Ruoyu Qianye said, slowly stood up, and got up and left.

This time, Ruoyu Qianye appeared in Tianluo City for the Dragon Blood Stone.

‘Dragon blood’ is a rare treasure. If she can get it, it will not only help Ruoyu Qianye resist the blood-eating power of the Nine-Colored Eyes, but also strengthen her martial body.

“Okay!” Li Lao agreed and said, “Miss, if the little guy named Nie Tian can really fulfill his promise, I will let Dahu and the other three keep the three drops of ‘dragon blood’ and give them all to you.”

“No need.” Ruoyu Qianye said softly and left.

Even if ‘dragon blood’ is precious, Ruoyu Qianye must live to enjoy it. If she can come back alive from the Blood Slaughter Tomb this time, she will win the Dragon Blood Stone herself at the Dragon Blood Martial Arts Conference.
