From Capital City to Donghe County, the journey is long, and there is a desolate stretch of the imperial road that spans dozens of miles without a single soul. Qi Country has established a station along this part of the road.

Adjacent to the endless mountains and over a hundred miles from Yunshan County, many high-ranking officials from Capital City would enter the endless mountains here due to Qi Country’s craze of seeking out extraordinary figures.

Therefore, choosing to briefly stay at the station, and for this reason, the station increased its staff to serve these distinguished guests.

But on this day, a figure flew out of the endless mountains.

And landed directly in the middle of the station.

“You are…”

A minor official at the station, upon seeing Xue Wuxin descending from the sky, was first shocked, then overwhelmed with ecstasy!

Has my opportunity arrived?!

Thud!

He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

“Exalted one above, Ma Xia’er pays his respects to you, and earnestly requests you to accept me as your disciple…”

Xue Wuxin was startled. Are people from the Border Wilderness always this direct?

To kneel and kowtow, asking to take him as a master upon first sight?

“Hehe…”

With a sinister laugh, he said, “You, who feed on blood, are not worthy to be my disciple!”

The minor official was startled, feed on blood?

Thud!

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw a fine thread had pierced his heart, and his blood seemed to be drawn out.

“Help…”

Filled with horror and just about to call for help, he fell to the ground and turned into a dried-up corpse.

Xue Wuxin frowned. “The blood essence is too poor. In the Wasteland, the Heavenly Earth Lingji fades away, and even the people’s blood essence becomes muddled.”

From his body, strands spread out, instantly piercing the hearts of the other minor officials in the station.

Thud!

Dried-up corpses fell to the ground.

Not a single living soul was left in the station.

“The blood essence is impure, and every time it needs to be purified before use. Thus, the needed quantity of blood is vast, and blood sacrifices of tens or hundreds of millions of people might not even be enough to break through a minor realm.”

Xue Wuxin knitted his brow slightly.

“As of now, I must endure. If one million is not enough, then ten million…

“The Border Wilderness has no shortage of people. What difference would it make if they were all sacrificed in a blood ritual?”

Xue Wuxin’s eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.

However, to sacrifice so many people and then purify them, it would take quite some time.

“First, I’ll slaughter an entire city to heal my wounds, and then I’ll find some suitable candidates, train them as Blood Disciples, so they can perform blood sacrifices and purify the blood essence for me.

“Ten years! Within ten years, I must break through the Great Grandmaster realm!”

Xue Wuxin looked back towards the endless mountains, his eyes revealing a cruel and ruthless color.

“Within ten years, I shall return to the Inner Domain!”

Walking out of the station, he headed towards the nearest city to perform a blood sacrifice and purify blood essence to recover from his injuries.

…

Xu Yan left Capital City filled with doubts, eager to find his master for answers.

He utilized his movement technique, heading straight from Capital City toward Donghe County.

With his current strength, even a thousand-mile horse couldn’t match his speed, so Xu Yan didn’t opt for horseback. With his qi and blood circulating, he moved like the wind, heading directly to Yunshan County.

“If it’s not a corpse fiend, what kind of monster could it be?”

Xu Yan continued to ponder, what could have sucked a corpse dry?

“I’m almost at Yunshan County.”

Up ahead was a station, with Yunshan County only a hundred miles beyond.

“Take a break, calm down a bit.”

Xu Yan slowed down, planning to rest at the station and casually inquire with the officials whether they had heard of any blood-sucking creatures.

The station, neighboring the endless mountains and staffed by well-informed officials, undoubtedly knew more about the legends of the endless mountains than outsiders.

Having traveled non-stop from Capital City, his qi and blood had been depleted somewhat, and he didn’t want to meet his master in such a state, in case his master thought he was being rash and impetuous.

“One mustn’t rush in the face of problems!”

That’s what Xu Yan thought to himself.

As he ceased using his movement technique, his depleted qi and blood rapidly recovered. His jade-like bones seemed to shine, showcasing the strength of his foundational physique.

By the time Xu Yan stepped into the station, his qi and blood had nearly returned to their peak.

“Something’s wrong!”

Suddenly, Xu Yan’s expression became solemn!

The keen senses of a martial artist allowed him to detect something was amiss right away. His qi and blood circulated instantaneously, ready for action, and he entered a state of alert.

He felt a lurking danger nearby.

Since practicing martial arts and becoming a martial artist, it was the first time he had this kind of feeling.

Xu Yan immediately realized there was danger inside the station!

And that this danger could threaten even him!

“What on earth is it?”

Xu Yan’s qi and blood boiled, his heart swelled with an eager anticipation to face unknown dangers in battle.

He stepped into the station one step at a time.

Suddenly!

His pupils constricted as he saw a dried-out corpse!

The body of the station’s minor official!

The shriveled corpse was exactly like those of the sons of the Minister of War!

“Is it that monster?”

Xu Yan’s heart tightened, his sharp senses on high alert as he gradually pinpointed the source of danger—it was someone standing behind a door within the station!

“It’s not a monster; it seems to be human!”

In that instant, Xu Yan’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be a martial artist like himself?

Someone from the Martial Dao Realm?

Where did they come from?

Why would they kill a minor official at the station?

And moreover… drain the minor official’s blood!

What kind of martial artist was this?

Thud!

Suddenly, a chill and nearly transparent thread shot through the door toward him, aimed squarely at his heart. The attack was incredibly swift and immensely powerful!
