Chapter 1493 - 87: The Third Young Master’s Banquet (Part 6)
Phoenix Fire transformed into shattered rain, scattering everywhere.
This electrifying battle made the array of Great Demons on the third floor of Xuanchen Pavilion develop a new recognition of Xie Xuanyi.
In terms of strength.
Venerable Yuan Huo is definitely among the top three of all the Venerables present!
How many people can catch this strike so lightly?
"Truly splendid..."
The Netherworld Third Young Master stepped forward and began to applaud.
He took the initiative to smooth over the situation, offering both a way out: "Unexpectedly, under the line of Red Flame Great Venerable, there is such a hero. Since you two did not know each other before, let today be the start of a good relationship."
"..."
Venerable Yuan Huo did not say anything further.
This is Giant Martial City, the territory of Ming San. Even if he doubts Venerable Lu, he must give face to the Third Young Master.
"I apologize for making you laugh."
Xie Xuanyi bowed to everyone around, expressing his apologies: "It’s often said that battles forge friendships. Brother Yuan Huo, I apologize for any offense earlier, and hope you’ll not hold it against me."
"Come, come, let us drink!"
Netherworld Third Young Master immediately called the maid to serve the wine.
A grand drinking session ensued.
The originally quiet third floor of Xuanchen Pavilion quickly became lively.
The Great Demons toasted each other, with maidens like clouds, music playing and dancing... The customs of the Demon Country and the Human Race differ greatly, but in terms of enjoyment, there is little difference.
Wine, women.
These are the things that young nobles from both worlds love.
The entire third floor was quiet except for Venerable Qing Ming’s area. She was the only female Venerable, so Ming San naturally arranged a "consort" to serve, but Qing Ming was uninterested... Throughout she was immersed in "Artifact Refining," only paying attention to the earlier duel between Xie Xuanyi and Yuan Huo.
After a few rounds of toasting and five performance pieces.
"Everyone."
The Netherworld Third Young Master gently tapped on the table.
The maidens who were dancing and playing music sensibly stopped, and the bustling third floor returned to silence. The Great Demons all looked towards the gentle Young Master at the front.
"Today’s banquet should have been a joyous occasion."
Netherworld Third Young Master raised his glass, slowly drank, and sighed softly: "But frankly speaking... I’ve been troubled recently."
The Venerables exchanged looks, with many Great Demons showing bewildered expressions.
"Ha..."
Xie Xuanyi merely sneered inwardly.
He knew that the Netherworld Third Young Master wouldn’t host such a banquet for no reason.
"My father obtained a Supreme Treasure some years ago."
Netherworld Third Young Master drained the wine from the bronze cup, holding the cup, he slowly inspected it.
"He initially planned to present this Supreme Treasure to the Holy Emperor, but unfortunately, the Supreme Treasure is somewhat damaged..."
Upon hearing this.
The Great Demons glanced at each other.
What kind of figure is the Nether Sea Venerable, a Great Divine Ability User at such a level, wouldn’t require our help to repair a Supreme Treasure?
"Netherworld Third Young Master, what do you need us to do?"
At that moment, a young Venerable sitting not far on the third floor couldn’t help but speak.
"Straightforward."
The Netherworld Third Young Master looked at the young Venerable, his gaze turned sharp, his demeanor suddenly changed from the prior weak and depressed appearance.
He sat up straight, speaking solemnly: "This Supreme Treasure needs a hundred Demon’s blood, inviting you all today, I hope to borrow the ’Lifebound Demon Blood."
"Lifebound Demon Blood?"
Once these words were uttered.
The expressions of the Xuanchen Pavilion’s Great Demons changed.
This matter is no small one...
What they rely on most in their cultivation up to now is their Demon Race bloodline.
For those who can ascend to Yin God, their bloodline must not be poor.
This Lifebound Demon Blood is akin to the "Lifebound Flying Sword" of Human Race Sword Cultivators. If this thing is damaged, it’s difficult to repair, and if it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it could lead to great disaster. The Human Race’s Southern Border has Gu Techniques, which can place curses through blood, and similar evil techniques exist in the Demon Country.
"Surely the Third Young Master is joking."
The previously proactive young Venerable said with a frown: "How can Lifebound Demon Blood be given away easily?"
"Indeed..."
The Netherworld Third Young Master smiled lightly.
He wasn’t angry, but rather spoke gently: "This request is indeed too presumptuous. However, the Lifebound Demon Blood I need is very little. If everyone can just give a wisp, it would be a great help..."
Saying this.
He gently raised two fingers, placing them at his brow.
With a tear.
His brow cracked open, from which an extremely faint wisp of blood drifted in the void, emerging.
Netherworld Third Young Master is the son of Nether Sea Venerable.
His cultivation aptitude isn’t particularly good... but his bloodline is exceptionally strong!
Once this wisp of demon blood appeared, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire pavilion!
In terms of strength, the Netherworld Third Young Master cannot compare with these Great Demons present.
But in terms of bloodline.
The Netherworld Third Young Master nearly overshadows them all.
"This..."
The Great Demons looked at each other.
"This exceedingly faint wisp of Lifebound Demon Blood will not affect your cultivation, after which a closed-door cultivation for tens of days will suffice for reparations."
The Netherworld Third Young Master took out a Primordial Pill from his sleeve’s Grotto Heaven.
He sincerely said: "If you are willing to donate blood, Great Ape Mountain will also have generous gifts... this bag of Primordial Pills is about a year’s tribute of a Holy Land, additionally, count me, Ming San, as owing you a favor."
Upon hearing this.
Many of the frowning Demon Country Venerables began to feel conflicted.
As long as a small wisp of demon blood is given.
They could obtain a year’s Primordial Pill tribute in exchange.
Most importantly, they can earn a favor from Netherworld Third Young Master.
This transaction seems worthwhile.
"Of course."
Netherworld Third Young Master stood up and bowed: "Today, everyone present are friends. I would never force any friend to do what they dislike. If unwilling to lend blood... you may leave without coercion."
Saying this, he paused.
"You may all think it over... I shall leave for the time being."
The Netherworld Third Young Master rose and departed.
Xuanchen Pavilion’s third floor bustled.
The familiar Great Demons started conversing, discussing eagerly.
Many Great Demons already felt tempted.
To them, Lifebound Demon Blood is indeed important... But gifting just a small wisp of demon blood, the damage is minimal, and the compensation from Great Ape Mountain is definitely enough for reclaiming the "vitality" through cultivation.
Not all Yin God Venerables have a mountain behind them.
Xie Xuanyi noticed.
Several Venerables were noticeably different from the others.
When Ming San mentioned "borrowing blood," Venerable Yuan Huo, Venerable Qing Ming, showed no change in expression.
Clearly.
They knew the purpose of this banquet long ago.
"I think there’s something odd about this."
Amidst the noise, Ao Ying frowned, speaking puzzled: "Why is this Ming San suddenly collecting Lifebound Demon Blood from outside? Is there really a Supreme Treasure needing demon blood for repair in the hands of Nether Sea Venerable?"
Regarding this.
She expressed deep skepticism.
"Something is indeed amiss."
Xie Xuanyi tapped the chair armrest absent-mindedly, speaking softly: "Do you believe these demon blood... are borrowed by Ming San for the Supreme Treasure?"
