The Temple of Blood was one of the old factions of the mysterious Evil ways. It was once the backbone of the World Extermination Army and the right-hand man of the world's no.1 evil force — the Temple of Annihilation.
What were the Evil ways?
Just look at the demonic woman, Dugu Fengwu.
Speaking of which, Dugu Fengwu was so powerful, and it was unknown if she had anything to do with the Blood Pool.
Dongfang Minmie sighed and said, "Actually, even if I told you about the Blood Pool, it would be the same as not telling you."
"Why?" Yang Dingtian asked.
Dongfang Minmie said, "Firstly, the Temple of Blood is an old faction of the Evil ways. They are sealed off and do not allow any outsiders to enter. Otherwise, they will kill without mercy, let alone you, a member of the Tiandō League."
"Secondly, the Blood Pool is the sect's ultimate treasure, and its energy is limited.
99% of the Temple of Blood's disciples are unable to cultivate in the Blood Pool, let alone an outsider from the Tiandō League. "
"Thirdly, the Temple of Blood is over six thousand miles away and is separated from the Tiandō League by a few thousand miles of the neutral zone, the Land of Chaos. That place is chaotic, and it is a place without order. With your current cultivation, it is simply too dangerous for you to pass through the Land of Chaos."
"Fourthly, the righteous and Evil ways are irreconcilable. Once you are involved with the Evil ways, you will never be able to break free.
Once the Tiandō League finds out that you are involved with the Temple of Blood, you will never be able to clear your name. There will be no place for you to stand in this world. "
After finishing, Dongfang Minmie said indifferently, "Therefore, we have to think of other methods. Don't think about this path."
Dongfang Minmie paused and said, "In fact, if you are forced into a corner, Master would rather you use the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Art to break through. That is much better than going to the Temple of Blood."
Yang Dingtian heard and instantly fell into silence.
What his master said was very important, especially the fourth point. The consequences were too severe.
If there were other methods, then the Temple of Blood really couldn't be visited.
Just by thinking about how terrifying Dugu Fengwu was, one would know. She was an extremely vicious demoness who could kill hundreds of people like slaughtering chickens and ducks.
If he really went to the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood, perhaps even ten lives wouldn't be enough.
Most importantly, anyone who got involved with Evil ways would become the archenemy of the Tiandō League. There would be no place for them in the world.
Evil ways had launched several world-ending wars in the past thousand years, averaging once every two hundred years.
The most recent one was nearly two hundred years ago.
Evil ways had destroyed half of the Primal Chaos Continent in that world-ending battle. Hundreds of millions of people had died.
***
Close to 200 years ago, the number one power of the Evil ways, the Temple of Annihilation, produced a peerless expert, Wan Wentian. He spent 20 years to unify the Evil ways, and then led an invincible army to the Sea of Hell to conquer the entire Primal Chaos Continent.
In just a few months, countless sects were annihilated, and they swept across the Far West Continent.
All the powers of the Tiandō League were shocked. They chose their elite disciples to form an army of millions to fight against the Temple of Annihilation, but they lost all three battles.
Dongfang Minmie's Grandmaster, the Yin-Yang school's Headmaster, Yun Wanli, died in the hands of Wan Wentian. Back then, more than half of the three sects, nine clans, and twenty-seven branches died in these three battles.
The Tiandō League kept retreating. After losing the Far West Continent, they lost half of the Northwest Continent. The flames of war spread to the Northwest Qin Clan's territory, and the Qin Clan's main city was destroyed. The Tiandō League no longer had the strength to fight, and the Primal Chaos Continent was about to fall under the Temple of Annihilation. "
In the end, the Hidden Sect was the one who saved the world.
The Hidden Sect, which hadn't appeared in the world for a few hundred years, was led by Nihility Piao Ling, who led hundreds of peerless experts to the Northwest Continent.
They fought against Wan Wentian in front of millions of people.
Wan Wentian was defeated and died, and the Temple of Annihilation's allied forces were immediately torn apart. The Tiandō League's allied forces took the opportunity to kill, and the allied forces of the Evil ways were slaughtered. Less than a tenth of the allied forces of the Evil ways were left, and their vitality was greatly damaged. Therefore, for the next two hundred years, the Evil ways didn't dare to raise their heads and could only hide in the darkness.
Dongfang Minmie had already told this story to Yang Dingtian many times.
Yang Dingtian was fascinated every time.
Dongfang Minmie often emphasized that if it wasn't for the Battle of Annihilation.
Perhaps, Wan Wentian and Nihility Piao Ling would have advanced to Martial Sage.
The blood feud from two hundred years ago was still very clear.
Therefore, once one was associated with the Evil ways, it would be extremely dangerous.
Therefore, it was impossible for Yang Dingtian to go to the Temple of Blood.
…
"We have to let Yang Dingtian break through to three-star Mystic Martial Warrior. If it's within nine levels, then there's still a chance to fight. If it's two levels, then I only have one suggestion," Ximen Lie said. "Let Young Master Yang Dingtian escape immediately. In any case, they won't dare to really kill Yanyan."
Madam Ximen nodded in agreement and said, "Then tell me, what method can let Yang Dingtian break through to three-star Mystic Martial Warrior within nine days?
Any method, no matter how remote or evil it is? "
After she finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.
Ximen Lie thought for a long time and finally shook his head.
Ningning's beautiful eyes flashed, and her face suddenly turned slightly red. Madam Ximen immediately looked at her and said, "Ningning, what method do you have?"
Suddenly, Ximen Lie looked at Ximen Ningning expectantly, hoping that she could come up with a solution.
After hesitating for a while, Ningning shook her head and said softly, "I don't have any method."
Madam Ximen sighed helplessly, and everyone fell into silence again.
"Lie, you're busy, so you don't have to stay here. Think of a method slowly. You can go and handle the affairs.
Also, bring Little Tian around the Black Blood Castle, "Madam Ximen said to Ximen Lie.
"Yes!" Ximen Lie said.
Although Yang Dingtian didn't understand, he still followed Ximen Lie out.
After Ximen Lie and Yang Dingtian were far away, Madam Ximen said, "Ning 'er, what method do you have? Tell us. Ah Lie and Little Tian are already far away. There's only the two of us left here."
Ximen Ningning looked at Madam Ximen in surprise and said softly, "Godmother, I, I really don't have any method."
"You grew up by my side. You can't lie to me," Madam Ximen said softly. "Just now, your eyes and your expression told me that you have a method.
It's just that you can't say it.
Don't worry, it's already come to this point. What else can't be said? What else is more important than saving Yanyan? What else is more important than Yang Dingtian's reputation?
I've said it before. No matter how evil the method is, it's fine. "
After hearing Madam Ximen's words, Ningning couldn't help but look at Yang Dingtian. Before she could say anything, her face instantly turned red.
"But, but this method is really very evil," Ningning said shyly.
"This method is a unique evil technique of the Fox Demon Clan. It's called the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Great Technique. In a special formation, special medicines, chants, and mystic qi flow are used to allow a woman's mystic qi to enter a man's body and achieve a breakthrough."
After speaking, Ningning's face almost reached her chest. Her voice was also so soft that it couldn't be heard.
After hearing this, Madam Ximen couldn't help but blush. She roughly knew that it was very abnormal, but she didn't expect it to be so evil.
She knew that although Ningning's mystic qi couldn't attack, it was very deep. She wanted Ningning to pass her mystic qi to Yang Dingtian, but mystic qi was very precious. A girl's innocence was also very precious. No matter what, she couldn't say it.
Even if it was to save Yanyan, Ximen Ningning was also her daughter. She treated her as her own.
"Godmother, actually, I'm willing to use this evil technique to pass my mystic qi to Little Tian."
Ningning suddenly said softly, "But … but it's already impossible now. Because the mystic qi in my body is poisonous, I can't give it to Little Tian anymore.
So, even if I have the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Great Technique, it's useless. "
Madam Ximen frowned slightly and said, "Then, for Little Tian to break through to become a three-star Mystic Martial Warrior, what cultivation does the woman need to perform the technique with him have?"
"At least the Martial Ancestor Realm." Ningning said, "Because the mystic qi that can be passed to Little Tian through the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Great Technique is less than one percent.
Originally, I could do it, and I'm the best candidate, but … "
Madam Ximen said gently, "It's really hard to find such a woman. Moreover, she has to be willing to give her body to Little Tian. It's even harder to find such a woman!"
*****
After walking around the Black Blood Castle for a while, Yang Dingtian returned to his room and recuperated on his bed. The courtyard he was in was currently very quiet. It was as if everyone had already left. The servants and warriors who were originally cleaning outside had all left.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and a figure walked in. It was Lü 'er.
"Young Master, Madam wants you to go over."
Yang Dingtian was slightly startled. Then, he nodded and got up from the bed.
Lü 'er was about to go forward to support him, but Yang Dingtian smiled and said, "No need. I'm completely fine now."
He was indeed fine. Although he was injured in the battle with Tang Li, it wasn't serious. It was more of a lack of strength. After a day and night of recuperation, and with Ningning's medicinal pills, he was almost fully recovered.
After Yang Dingtian got up, Lü 'er immediately went forward to help him wash up and get dressed. After everything was done, Lü' er said, "Young Master, please follow me."
Then, Lü 'er led the way in front while Yang Dingtian followed behind. It was his first time seeing the Black Blood Castle.
The Black Blood Castle was less than a hundred miles away from Cloud Heaven City. It was at the bottom of the mountain and was a place that one had to pass to enter and exit Cloud Heaven City.
Previously, Yang Dingtian had entered and exited Cloud Heaven City on a flying mount. Therefore, he had never passed by the Black Blood Castle.
Although it was called a castle, it was actually a very large city fortress that was about a few thousand acres in size.
In the surrounding ten miles, there were four smaller castles protecting it.
The entire castle was built with huge rocks. It was extremely sturdy and majestic. The highest point was almost a hundred meters high.
There were powerful energy crossbows, magma spray barrels, poison arrays, energy arrays, and hundreds of huge catapults everywhere.
In the castle, other than the 3,000 elite Black Blood Cavalry, there were also thousands of servants.
Every inch of the castle was armed to the teeth, which would make any forces in the world tremble with fear.
This was because this was the last fortress of Cloud Heaven City.
It could be said that by taking over the Black Blood Castle, it was equivalent to taking over 80% of Cloud Heaven City.
Therefore, the Black Blood Castle was the largest armed force in Cloud Heaven City, even surpassing Cloud Heaven City itself.
And the commander of the Black Blood Cavalry was only below one person in Cloud Heaven City.
Now that Ximen Lie and Cloud Heaven City had fallen out, the Black Blood Castle was equivalent to choking Cloud Heaven City's throat. Therefore, Yang Yan and the others were extremely worried and apprehensive.
It was already nighttime. Yang Dingtian's courtyard was a small garden, which had the best conditions in the entire Black Blood Castle.
After exiting the garden, the castle appeared cold and hard. There were roads, walls, and watchtowers made of huge rocks everywhere.
Lü Er brought Yang Dingtian into a small black stone building. After entering, it was an ordinary house with simple tables and chairs. Other than that, there was nothing else. Yang Dingtian couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Why did Madam Ximen ask him to come here?
Lü Er patted on the wall.
Suddenly, an opening appeared on the stone wall, and a flight of stairs that led underground appeared.
"Young Master, please follow me," Lü Er said.
Yang Dingtian thought for a moment before following her in.
After he entered the flight of stairs, the wall automatically closed, and the small house returned to its original state.
The two of them kept walking down. After hundreds of twists and turns, they were dozens of meters underground.
Similar to Cloud Heaven City, this should be the dungeon of the Black Blood Castle.
After walking for a full three minutes, they finally reached the end. There was a stone door in front of them.
"Young Master, you can go in by yourself. You just have to pat the door lightly," Lü Er said. Then, she turned around and went to the surface.
Yang Dingtian frowned slightly. Why did Madam Ximen ask him to come here? It was really strange everywhere.
But without a doubt, no one in the Black Blood Castle, no matter if it was Ningning or Madam Ximen, would harm him.
Yang Dingtian walked up to the stone door and patted it lightly.
"Rumble …" The thick stone door opened, and a ray of light shot out from inside.
Yang Dingtian was slightly surprised as he spoke.
Inside, the ground was filled with blood-red magma. It was surging and emitting a terrifying heat.
A snow-white bed made of cold jade floated on top of the magma.
On top of the cold jade bed, there were all kinds of demon cores floating. They shot out a blurry and bewitching light, forming an evil light array.
Around the bed, there was a strange smoke. Yang Dingtian just took a sniff, and his mind instantly went into a daze.
