"You went to that place, what for?"
"There is something there that this Holy Daughter needs."
Shangguan Xinyan didn’t specify, "Moreover, recently in the Water Spirit Secret Realm, there have been rumors of a Prince’s Secret Treasure existing."
"It’s just right, you might as well go take a look."
"What exactly is it that you need?"
Lin Yi didn’t plan to let Shangguan Xinyan skirt the issue, "You don’t even speak clearly, and you want me to help?"
"Isn’t that a bit insincere?"
Shangguan Xinyan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, then she said, "Telling you won’t hurt."
"According to the information from the ancient texts of our sect in the Middle Ages, deep within the Water Spirit Secret Realm, there is a treasure named ’Holy Spirit Spring.’"
"I once encountered a snag when attempting to advance to the eighth floor of the ’Blood God Scripture,’ almost falling into madness, and to this day, my internal injuries haven’t healed, nor have the psychological demons been removed."
"Only this ’Holy Spirit Spring’ can help me eliminate these internal injuries and psychological demons, allowing my cultivation to reach a higher level."
Lin Yi was stunned, as he had not noticed any injuries on Shangguan Xinyan.
Afterward, Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Why didn’t you say so earlier? If you have doubts in the cultivation of the ’Blood God Scripture’ in the future, just ask me, wouldn’t that have prevented you from nearly descending into madness?"
Hearing Lin Yi’s boastful words, Shangguan Xinyan didn’t take him seriously at all, simply assuming Lin Yi was full of hot air.
In her view, even though Lin Yi was strong, his proficiency in the ’Blood God Scripture’ was probably still inferior to hers. How could he possibly have the capacity to enlighten her?
"Just tell me if you’re going or not?"
Shangguan Xinyan looked directly at Lin Yi, "If you’re not going, I’ll go find someone else."
Lin Yi, unfazed, said, "If I agree to help you, what’s in it for me afterward?"
Shangguan Xinyan, seeing this shameless fellow actually had the gall to ask for perks, her pretty face slightly darkened and said, "If the matter is successful, this Holy Daughter won’t hold you accountable any longer for the beastly acts you have committed against this Holy Daughter before..."
Lin Yi said indifferently, "Clearly you were the one trying to harm me, but instead, you dropped the rock on your own foot."
"Before that incident, I was also a pure virgin, yet you, demoness, took away my chastity. I haven’t even settled the score with you, yet you want to hold me accountable?"
Shangguan Xinyan was infuriated by Lin Yi’s shameless words, only managing to glare fiercely at him, "You really are a shameless scoundrel!"
Having said that, she turned to leave.
However, Lin Yi suddenly blocked Shangguan Xinyan’s path, stopping her.
"I didn’t say I wouldn’t go with you, why the rush?"
A teasing smile appeared on Lin Yi’s face, "A Saint Heir and Holy Daughter of the Blood God Sect, that’s in the eyes of everyone a match made by heaven. Since the Holy Daughter herself has invited me, how could I refuse?"
"I shall risk my life to accompany a lady, and go with the Holy Daughter to the Water Spirit Secret Realm."
Ignoring Lin Yi’s slick words, Shangguan Xinyan spoke indifferently, "We’ll meet here in three days."
After leaving these words, Shangguan Xinyan turned around and left the place.
Lin Yi watched Shangguan Xinyan’s departing figure, stroked his chin, then returned to Tianming Island.
After informing Old Demon Yun Long, Lin Yi left Tianming Island to join Shangguan Xinyan, and they set off for the Water Spirit Secret Realm.
However, as they left the Blood God Sect.
Two sneaky figures emerged behind them.
These two, enigmatic in presence, one was none other than one of the Five Great Guardian Dharma Kings, the Earth Nether King.
Beside him stood a handsome, young man, who was none other than Pei Hong, one of the two renown young Heavenly Prides from the battle for the Saint Heir.
Watching the direction in which Lin Yi and Shangguan Xinyan departed, a chilling light flashed in Earth Nether King’s eyes, "This Chen Feng, he must be hiding a great secret. I suspect he has already obtained the ultimate secret of the Blood God Tower."
Hearing this, Pei Hong showed a look of shock, "You mean this guy has already reached the Seventh Floor of the Blood God Tower?"
Earth Nether King nodded, "I suspect that the Blood Empress took action to shut down the tower light of the seventh floor of the Blood God Tower, thus creating the illusion that this kid was continually on the sixth floor."
Pei Hong furrowed his brows, asking, "But why would the Blood Empress do this?"
"If Chen Feng had climbed to the seventh floor in front of a crowd, wouldn’t that boost morale even more?"
"Boosting morale is true, but the Blood Empress also knows well that once everyone is aware that Chen Feng reached the seventh floor of the Blood God Tower, he would become the target of public criticism while drawing attention."
The Earth Nether King’s eyes gleamed coldly, "The seventh floor of the Blood God Tower is said to hide the greatest secret of the Blood God Sect. Who wouldn’t want to get their hands on that secret?"
"Moreover, even if my suspicion is wrong and Chen Feng has not reached the seventh floor, he is still a peerless Heavenly Pride second only to the Blood Empress. As enemies of the Blood God Sect, how could they tolerate another person as phenomenal as the Blood Empress emerging in the Blood God Sect?"
