As the black pellet hovered before everyone, a terrifying bloodline aura permeated from it. Just a whiff of it would cause the blood in their bodies to boil.
Looking at the black pellet, not only did Mu Chen's eyes blaze, but even Kong Ling 'er and the rest also had their eyes blazing with excitement. Their bodies were trembling from the excitement in their hearts.
The excitement lasted for a long time before everyone gradually returned to their senses. Mu Chen was the first to smile. "Let's distribute it. Do you guys have any objections?"
Hearing his words, Kong Ling 'er and the rest felt heartache in their hearts. After all, that was a 40% -grade pellet, and the bloodline aura contained within it could allow them to break through to the Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
Although they felt heartache, they did not dare to go back on their words after witnessing Mu Chen's strength. Thus, they nodded their heads.
Seeing this, Mu Chen wasn't going to be polite with them. He clasped his hands together and his Spiritual Energy formed a vortex. A terrifying suction force erupted and the Blood Pellet trembled. Waves of blood gushed out and entered the vortex.
Kong Ling 'er and the other two had also made their moves, using their own means to extract the boundless bloodline aura from the pellet.
The four of them extracted for an incense's time before they gradually stopped. At this moment, a black pellet was floating before the four of them, emanating a bloodline aura.
However, the one before Mu Chen was stronger than the other three by a notch.
"Truly worthy of being a Quasi-Saint's Blood Essence, the bloodline aura is unimaginable."
Mu Chen sighed as he looked at the black pellet. With this 40% -grade pellet, Jiu You would definitely be able to complete his evolution.
"Haha. Brother Mu, since we have achieved our objective, then we will not stay any longer. Farewell."
Kong Ling 'er waved her hand and stored her pellet before giving a smile to Mu Chen. She then turned into a streak of light and flew out.
Lin Cang and Xiao Tian's eyes flickered as they looked at Mu Chen, then immediately followed.
Jiu You watched as the three of them left. Then, he looked at Mu Chen and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid those three don't have any good intentions. Should we leave as well?"
Mu Chen lightly smiled as he looked at the direction where the three of them disappeared. "No need. We'll wait here."
"Wait?" Jiu You was stunned.
Lin Cang and Xiao Tian quickly caught up to Kong Ling 'er. Then they looked behind them and transmitted, "Are we really going to leave the 40% to them?"
Kong Ling 'er calmly said, "If you have the confidence to snatch it, you can make a move."
Lin Cang and Ye Xiwen were stunned. The combat power displayed by Mu Chen was truly astonishing. They really did not have absolute confidence that they could snatch the Blood Pill from Mu Chen's hands.
However, they weren't willing to give it to Mu Chen just like that.
"The two of you are really stupid. You're too greedy, and it's only a matter of time before the two of you die."
Kong Ling 'er hollered before her eyes flickered. "Let's leave this place first. I will destroy the Spiritual Void Array from afar, and Huang Xuanzhi will be released at that time. He will definitely sense the Blood Pill in Mu Chen's hand, so the first thing he will do is to find Mu Chen. The two of them will fight, and if they're both injured, we'll be able to benefit from it."
Lin Cang and Xiao Tian rejoiced when they heard that. They never expected that Kong Ling 'er would have such a card up her sleeve.
"That's for the best. Let Mu Chen and Huang Xuanzhi fight to the death before we make a move. We'll let them know who's laughing in the end!" The two of them laughed.
A smile rose on Kong Ling 'er's lips. So what if Mu Chen and Huang Xuanzhi were peerless geniuses? Didn't they still fall into her hands?
Clap! Clap!
But all of a sudden, a clap resounded before them. The three of them were startled before they immediately raised their heads. Their faces drastically changed when they saw a silhouette being formed in the ocean. It was Huang Xuanzhi, who was trapped in the Spiritual Void Array!
"What a good scheme." Huang Xuanzhi chuckled as he looked at the three of them.
"Huang Xuanzhi!
How did you escape from the Spiritual Void Array?! "Kong Ling 'er's face was pale as she exclaimed in disbelief.
"I didn't run out. That Spiritual Formation was indeed quite troublesome. If I had fallen into it …"
With a smile, Huang Xuanzhi replied, "But it's a pity that the one you guys trapped in the Spiritual Array is only a clone of mine."
"What?!"
Kong Ling 'er and company squinted their eyes. The clone that they spent so much effort to trap in the Spiritual Void Array was just a clone of Huang Xuanzhi?!
"That clone isn't as simple as you guys think. It's refined from my phoenix feather and blood essence, and it possesses 50% of my strength."
Huang Xuanzhi smiled as he looked at the three of them. His casual gaze made the three of them feel a chill down their spines.
Kong Ling 'er and company's faces turned pale. At this moment, they finally understood the gap between them and Huang Xuanzhi. Thus, they immediately unleashed their Spiritual Energy and turned into their true forms, tearing through the ocean and wanted to charge out of the Deification Pool.
As long as they left the Deification Pool, Huang Xuanzhi wouldn't be able to make a move against them.
"Haha, I've waited for you guys for so long, so how can I let you guys escape?"
Huang Xuanzhi smiled before a massive golden phoenix soared into the sky with its wings spread out, tearing through the ocean and enveloping towards Kong Ling 'er's group of three.
In the depths of the ocean
Spiritual Energy formed into a barrier around Mu Chen, isolating him from the ocean. He sat at the bottom of the ocean and gently tossed the pellet with his eyes flickering as he looked into the distance.
"What are we doing here?" Jiu You was puzzled. That fellow didn't even give her the pellet and just sat there.
"We're waiting for Huang Xuanzhi." Mu Chen stretched his waist.
"Ah?" Jiu You was startled before she immediately asked, "Isn't that fellow trapped in the Spiritual Void Array?"
Mu Chen smiled. "That should be a Spiritual Energy clone of his. That fellow is too cunning, and he must have done it on purpose to force Kong Ling 'er and the rest to sacrifice a large amount of their blood essence to push the Peak Blood Essence to the Quasi-Saint Realm. In that case, he doesn't have to do anything and only has to wait for them to attack."
Jiu You knitted her brows. If that's the case, didn't that mean that they had fallen into Huang Xuanzhi's plan?
"If I've guessed correctly, Huang Xuanzhi should be dealing with Kong Ling 'er's group of three right now." Mu Chen smiled.
"Then, should we leave the Deification Pool now?" Jiu You asked.
"Why should we leave?"
Mu Chen had a smile-yet-not-a-smile expression as he threw the black pellet in his hand to Nine Nether. "This pellet can only allow you to complete your evolution. As for me, I have my eyes on the remaining 60%."
"Huang Xuanzhi wants to make a move, but so am I?
He will naturally come knocking on my door when he obtains the pellet. "
Jiu You's mouth widened. Everyone else was hiding from Huang Xuanzhi, but not only did that fellow not hide, he even wanted Huang Xuanzhi to help him obtain the pellet before he made a move.
However, she had to admit that Huang Xuanzhi looked charming at this moment, even when facing a powerful enemy like Huang Xuanzhi.
She started to understand that this youth before her was no longer the weakling from back then. At this moment, his name had already resounded throughout the Great Thousand World, and his radiance could even be comparable to those supreme geniuses.
"Alright, then it's all up to you whether we can make a profit or suffer a loss!" A smile rose on Jiu You's lips.
If they made a profit, then they would be able to obtain the complete Quasi-Saint Blood Pellet. But if they suffered a loss, then not only would they lose the 40% pellet, but they would also lose her Undying Bird Bloodline.
With a smile, Mu Chen closed his eyes as if he was dozing off.
However, Jiu You did not disturb him. She sat to the side and looked at the pellet in her hand.
The silence lasted for roughly the time for an incense to burn before Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes and indifferently looked up ahead. "They're here."
When Jiu You heard his words, her body tensed up and she clenched her fists.
Along with Mu Chen's voice, the ocean before them fluctuated and a silhouette stepped out. He then casually threw three silhouettes out.
Those three silhouettes were naturally Kong Ling 'er's group of three. But at this moment, their faces were pale and their Spiritual Energy was weakened. Evidently, they had suffered heavy injuries.
After throwing the three of them to the side, Huang Xuanzhi's golden pupils looked at Mu Chen and smiled. "You really did not run."
"Why would I run when someone came to deliver the complete pellet?" Mu Chen stretched his waist.
"Interesting." Huang Xuanzhi smiled, but there wasn't any smile in his golden pupils. "You're treating me as a delivery boy?
How interesting. "
"If you hand over the pellet and let me take her Undying Bird's Bloodline, I can let you, An Ran, leave."
Looking at Mu Chen, Huang Xuanzhi continued, "Otherwise, your fame, Mu Chen, will become a stepping stone for me."
Standing up, Mu Chen gave Huang Xuanzhi a smile. "Cut the crap. I'm afraid that you, Huang Xuanzhi, aren't qualified to take Nine Nether's bloodline before me."
Nodding his head, Huang Xuanzhi's expression gradually returned to indifference. A golden light flickered in his eyes as he flapped his wings, unleashing a torrential killing aura.
"What a pity. Since that's the case, then I can only cripple you."
