Chapter 970 - 879: The One Who Loses is the Dog
“The Blood Ancestor has arrived, how fantastic!”
“Ha ha, it seems our venture this time will not come up empty!”
Lu Fei and Yafei were both overjoyed.
Then Ge Qianming said,
“Um… the Blood Ancestor’s arrival surely is due to the Blood Crystal, Lu Fei, go fetch the Blood Crystal.”
Upon hearing the order, Lu Fei nodded and headed out immediately.
Afterward, Ge Qianming looked towards the Instrument Ancestor and said,
“Elder, shall we move somewhere to rest for a while?”
The Instrument Ancestor nodded, saying,
“Sure.”
In an instant, a member of the Demon Race from the Tianmo Palace came over and led Meng Nan and Big Black Dog away, into a secret hall to rest.
Once the Demon Cultivator left, Meng Nan suddenly fixed his gaze on Big Black Dog, his eyes deep and dark.
“Tell me, just how much are you still hiding from me?”
“What’s your real identity?”
He clenched his teeth in frustration.
At that moment, his heart was very uneasy and anxious.
After all, this Dead Dog’s infamy was well known, forcing even the ancient elder of the Three-winged Fierce Deer Clan to leave behind such a testament as “Rather meet a True Dragon than see the Black Dog”…
He had this nagging feeling… that he was going to be duped!
“Woof… Since you asked, this Emperor will not pretend anymore, it’s time to lay all the cards on the table!”
Big Yellow Dog held its head high with arrogance and declared,
“This Emperor is the Supreme existence that has repressed innumerable forbidden paths, devoured the mightiest beings in the world, and severed the karmic ties of ages!”
“Don’t worry, following this Emperor won’t do you wrong!”
Upon witnessing Big Yellow Dog’s cocky demeanor, Meng Nan wanted nothing more than to hammer it to death.
It was so downcast just before, and now so full of itself – this damn dog… was too damn good at acting.
But he suppressed that impulse and instead asked,
“What should we do next?”
Big Yellow Dog replied,
“I suspect… the Blood Ancestor and Demon Ancestor may betray us!”
“Get ready, we must take them down!”
Upon hearing this, the Instrument Ancestor nearly swung his big hammer into action, angrily saying,
“Dead Dog, we had an agreement to just spy undercover, and now you want me to go up against the Blood Ancestor and Demon Ancestor?”
“Don’t you know they are my closest friends, my brothers…”
“I’ll need more money!”
When Big Yellow Dog heard this, its dog lips twitched, and it remarked,
“Blacksmith, you’re even shadier than me!”
However, it gritted its teeth and said,
“Raise! My main body… will give you two hundred bones!”
Selling its main body once was the same as selling it twice… whatever!
Upon hearing the offer, Meng Nan sheathed his large hammer and nodded in acceptance, “That’s more like it!”
Meanwhile, Big Yellow Dog looked outside and said,
“You wait here for me, I’ll be right back.”
Meng Nan asked,
“What are you going off to do?”
Big Yellow Dog responded,
“… This Emperor needs to come up with a plan, to cause some havoc – can’t let that old Blood Ancestor switch sides so easily!”
Having said that, it dashed out straight away.
…
Once outside,
Big Yellow Dog sniffed around, then promptly headed in a certain direction.
…
At this moment,
Lu Fei arrived in front of a secret hall.
“Once this task is complete, when I return to the Grey Mist Sea, I’ll have the protection of those higher-ups!”
He murmured to himself as he walked,
The memory of his uncle’s tragic fate suddenly flashed in his mind…
Treated like a pet, taken for walks by a dog…
And ultimately eaten by it!
He shivered with horror.
So why was he desperately coming here?
Because after his uncle’s death, he became the most outstanding genius of the Three-winged Fierce Deer Clan, which meant he was very likely to suffer at the hands of that Big Black Dog!
To escape this fate, his only way out was to seek protection from those higher-ups within the Grey Mist Sea. If only they would bestow upon him a “Life-Protecting Heavenly Seal,” he wouldn’t have to worry about that dog any longer.
And once his current mission was accomplished, upon his return, he would receive that protection!
“With the Instrument Ancestor taken care of, and the Blood Ancestor arriving… when I return this time, I’m sure to soar to new heights!”
He smiled, pushed open the doors of the secret hall, and saw within a pool of blood—
The Blood Crystal needed blood to nurture it.
“Damn Big Black Dog, fare thee well!”
He growled, as if seeing the dawn of his freedom, and immediately moved forward.
Whoosh!
But, just at that moment, he felt a breeze behind him.
He swiftly turned around, only to see a shadow flash before his eyes.
“Bla—”
He started to say something instinctively, but before he could finish his sentence, he became dazed and disoriented.
And there, inside the secret hall, was an additional Big Black Dog!
It strutted in, not even sparing Lu Fei a glance, but coldly stared at the blood pool.
“Thinking of using the Blood Crystal to attract the Blood Ancestor? Let this Emperor spice it up for you!”
With these words, it ran over to the blood pool, lifted its paw, channeled mana, and immediately a grey stone box appeared.
Big Black Dog opened the stone box, and within, a grey Blood Crystal, resembling a grey jade, lay inside, emanating strands of an extremely unusual grey Source Qi!
Without hesitation, Big Black Dog swallowed the Blood Crystal in one gulp.
As the Blood Crystal entered its body, Big Black Dog shivered.
“Woof… the quality of this Blood Crystal isn’t too good… not very easy to digest…”
It held its belly, waiting for a while, feeling the Blood Crystal slowly digesting.
Then, it turned around, squatted with its hind legs.
Plop.
A grey and black substance was immediately released!
At a glance, it still resembled the Blood Crystal, but now… it was completely transformed!
The thing fell into the box, and Big Black Dog closed the lid, then slapped the box into the blood pool.
Then it leapt from above the pool and left.
Not long after Big Black Dog had left,
Lu Fei suddenly awoke from his stupor.
“Um? What just happened?”
Lu Fei was completely bewildered!
Just now, he seemed to have zoned out…
“I think I saw a dark shadow…”
He muttered to himself,
“Could it be, could it be because I thought of Big Black Dog, that he appeared??”
“That’s impossible, the ghost of Big Black Dog is in the Grey Mist Sea…”
He was somewhat confused.
According to the legends of his clan, even though Big Black Dog was long dead, one must not think of it.
Otherwise, it was very likely that one would be discovered by the dog’s ghost and then taken away!
But this was the True Ancestor World.
As Ge Qianming said, the ghost of Big Black Dog should only exist on the far side of the Grey Mist Sea!
“It must have been a trick of the eye… No way, no way!”
He repeated a few times, then moved forward, took the stone box from the blood pool, and walked outside with it.
At this moment, by the shore of Shock Demon Lake.
Ge Qianming and Yafei were talking with an old man.
The old man was in tattered clothes, so skinny that only his bones seemed to remain, as if he had been starving for a long time.
“Blood Ancestor, rest assured, what we say is the absolute truth!”
Ge Qianming assured with conviction,
“After the great upheaval, the Grey Mist Sea went through a golden age, all the great paths have been connected, Gate Opening Ascendant Paths are no longer the ultimate, there are already many beyond the Four Sights…”
“The Blood Crystal we brought you this time is refined from the true blood of several Four-Seers, whether what I say is true or false, you’ll know once you taste it!”
“Just return, and a golden age belonging to you will arrive!”
Blood Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered, “A golden age… all great paths open… indeed tempting…”
Indeed, a hint of temptation flashed through his heart.
If it really was so, returning to Grey Mist Sea might not be a bad choice…
But then he recalled what Jiang Xue had said about that little village, that Supreme existence which treated Phoenix like poultry and True Dragon like fish…
If there really was such a place, such an existence…
That would be a heaven-reaching opportunity!
His heart ultimately decided he would continue to be a good undercover agent.
He immediately said,
“…Heh, I do wish to see the so-called Blood Crystal you speak of first.”
Ge Qianming nodded and said, “Certainly, we already asked Lu Fei to fetch it… Hm? Why hasn’t he come yet?”
He frowned slightly; this Lu Fei really had a habit of dropping the ball at critical moments.
“The Blood Crystal is here!”
Just then, a loud cry suddenly came.
The group turned around and saw Lu Fei excitedly carrying a stone box toward them.
“You finally arrived, this is Elder Blood Ancestor, and he’s been waiting for quite a while.”
Ge Qianming spoke.
Lu Fei immediately responded respectfully,
“Sorry for being late, please forgive me, Elder Blood Ancestor… This is the Blood Crystal we have prepared for you!”
He handed over the stone box.
Blood Ancestor also nodded with satisfaction, looking forward to the box.
“Elder, this Blood Crystal was nurtured in the blood pool, its taste is exquisite, and the texture must be unique… Please, partake!”
Ge Qianming said with a smile.
Blood Ancestor also smiled and immediately opened the box.
“Hm?!”
Blood Ancestor was taken aback in an instant.
“Elder Blood Ancestor, what’s wrong?”
Yafei and the others asked with confusion.
“This… is this the Blood Crystal you have prepared for me?!”
There was an additional note of anger in Blood Ancestor’s words.
The three glanced into the stone box.
They saw that it was clearly a lump… of mud?
“This… what’s going on? How did the Blood Crystal turn into this?!”
Ge Qianming was shocked.
“The previous Blood Crystal, was like grey jade, extremely extraordinary, but this one… feels like…”
Yafei also froze… that wasn’t a Blood Crystal, it clearly looked like… a lump of shit!
All of them couldn’t help but look towards Lu Fei and said, “Lu Fei, what on earth is going on?!”
Lu Fei was also dumbfounded at the moment, what the hell was going on?
“Let me, let me check…”
He picked up what was supposed to be the Blood Crystal, looked it over, and grew even more puzzled.
How come this Blood Crystal… felt soft and mushy… like a lump of mud?
Moreover, it had completely lost the jade-like texture, the surface was sticky…
“Dammit… has this Blood Crystal… become possessed by a ghost?”
He couldn’t help but blurt out.
And Blood Ancestor said coldly,
“This is not a Blood Crystal… this is clearly…”
“Clearly, something that has been eaten and then shat out!”
“You try to swindle me with this kind of stuff? Do you think I’ve never seen shit before?!!”
He stood up abruptly, his face full of rage.
At this moment, he was truly furious!
As a generation’s Blood Ancestor, with a fearsome reputation that once shook the entire Grey Mist Sea, he was now being played by a few juniors!
He was ready to kill!
Ge Qianming’s face changed drastically; he was in a panic1
At the same time, he angrily looked towards Lu Fei and said,
“Lu Fei, what great audacity you have, daring to secretly eat the Supreme Blood Crystal… Do you know, doing so is a heinous crime, bringing great disaster upon your clan!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Fei became even more anxious and hurriedly defended himself,
“I’m wronged, wronged! I didn’t eat it!”
“I swear, I really didn’t eat it, whoever ate it is a dog turd!!!”
Goodnight.
