Chapter 1076: Bloodline (Please Subscribe)_1

The elder leading the group finished speaking, and the others beside him also seemed to appear quite solemn…

They had taken a great risk to kill the elders of other clans, and if Xu Sheng and his group did not agree to the proposal and continued to fight, their situation would become extremely dangerous!

After all, previously even over a dozen elders could not deal with Xu Sheng and his companions; with just a few of them, it was even more impossible!

Xu Sheng, seeing this, spoke calmly, "Elders, there's no need to worry. The offerings required to open the Blood Pool are already sufficient. There's no need for further bloodshed!"

Upon hearing this, the five opposite elders all heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to themselves, "Thank goodness we bet correctly!"

However, their relief did not last long before their faces turned grim once again…

Duanmu Lian furrowed her brows next to Xu Sheng and suggested, "Xu Sheng, we can't let them go. They clearly harbored intent to kill us earlier!"

If it were not for their significant strength, none of them would have survived!

To let them go now would be tantamount to nurturing a future threat!

Zhou Qingruo also unexpectedly agreed, nodding her head and saying in a cold voice, "Xu Sheng, we can eliminate them without a scratch. There's no benefit in sparing them!"

Xu Sheng glanced at the two women and said indifferently, "Qingruo, Miss Lian, don't be so keen to kill. These elders have done us a big favor."

The time to dispose of these guys has not come yet!

After hearing this, Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo both fell silent…

They were certain that Xu Sheng must be scheming something…

At this moment, Xu Sheng turned his gaze to the several elders opposite him and said with a light chuckle, "Then I'll have to trouble the elders to drag those bodies into the Blood Pool. If there are too many people, the Blood Pool will drain their blood!"

The elders opposite hesitated for a moment before nodding their heads…

As long as the Duanmu Clan's elder did not act, it was fine. As for the treasure within the Blood Pool, if they could obtain it, they would; if not, it was best just to preserve their own lives!

Immediately after, they burst forth with terrifying spiritual power, extending their hands to drag the lifeless bodies toward the Blood Pool…

Once all the bodies were placed in the Blood Pool, a red light flashed, suddenly releasing an extremely strong throbbing sensation…

Yet it was not over; the crimson blood from inside the bodies was completely drawn out and merged into it…

In just a few seconds, the Blood Pool was brimming with blood...

"Buzzz buzzz buzzz~~~"

As this harsh buzzing sound began, the ground in front of the Blood Pool slowly started to divide, revealing a dark secret passage…

One could faintly feel the enthralling power emanating from it!

The eyes of these clan elders gradually lit up with greed…

They exclaimed, "The treasure... is it inside? Just a rough perception can let us feel the immense power it holds!"

"If we can attain such a treasure, perhaps our family could rise to a whole new level!"

"Don't be hasty, there might be some trickery inside! How about letting those from the Duanmu Clan explore it first?"

"Yes! With them around, it's unlikely we'll get the treasure anyway. Better to be sensible and at least keep our lives!"

With that thought, their opinions reached a consensus.

Xu Sheng looked at them whispering quietly to each other and curiously asked, "Elders, the secret passage has been opened. Aren't you going down?"

The leading elder waved his hand with an awkward smile, "No... no need; you, Elder Xu, go ahead and enter first. We have no interest in the treasure for now!"

They were certainly against their will saying they had no interest, but they had to answer firmly regardless!

Xu Sheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see, then we won't stand on ceremony. Let's go, Qingruo, Miss Lian!"

It seems these elders are quite sensible, so there's no need to waste time on them!

Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo exchanged glances and both uttered a soft "Mhm..." in unison.

Immediately, the three of them entered the secret passage with great caution...

...

Upon reaching the bottom and taking a careful look around...

Surprise flickered in the beautiful eyes of Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo...

Because in front of them, there were no treasures at all!

There were only two blood pools emitting an unusual red glow that seemed quite seductive!

Duanmu Lian, puzzled, looked at Xu Sheng and asked, "Xu Sheng, didn't you say there were treasures down here? Why are there still two blood pools?"

Zhou Qingruo stared intently at the blood pools and pursed her lips, saying, "I'm afraid these two blood pools are not so simple! The blood within them seems like that of some powerful beasts!"

After hearing their words, Xu Sheng explained softly, "These two blood pools are actually the best treasures of the entire secret realm! The blood in each pool comes from a Monster Beast above the Saint Realm at the very least. If one could soak in them, there is a great chance to inherit their bloodlines!"

Unfortunately, the strength of Xu Sheng's own bloodline far surpassed that of the blood within the two pools, so soaking in them would bring minimal benefit.

Hearing this explanation, a glint appeared in the beautiful eyes of Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo...

Bloodline?

If they could receive the enhancement of a bloodline, their cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds, and they might even reach the Saint Realm sooner than expected!

Although the allure of a bloodline was significant, they were not at all beguiled...

Duanmu Lian solemnly said, "Xu Sheng, we were able to find so many treasures and these blood pools because of your help, so you should soak first, and Qingruo and I will act as your protectors!"

Zhou Qingruo didn't say much, merely nodding calmly with a "Mhm..."

Xu Sheng rubbed their heads with a helpless expression and said, "Although I'd like to, my bloodline is much stronger than those!"

"If I force the absorption, it might even diminish my cultivation level! You two should absorb it instead."

Saying his cultivation level would be diminished was an exaggeration, but absorbing it would certainly be of no use!

It would be better for the two of them to absorb it, and who knows, they might break through to the Saint Realm!

Upon hearing this, the complexions of Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo suddenly darkened...

So it wasn't that Xu Sheng didn't want to absorb it, it was simply that he deemed it beneath him!

After hesitating, Duanmu Lian said, "Then... Qingruo and I won't stand on ceremony!"

Having said that, the two of them were about to step directly into the blood pools...

But Xu Sheng's words stopped them first, "Wait, Qingruo, Miss Lian, you must remove all your clothes to achieve the best absorption and increase the possibility of receiving a bloodline!"

After these words were spoken, a blush spread across the cheeks of Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo, and their ears became burning hot...

Remove their clothes?

And in front of Xu Sheng, no matter how one thought about it, it seemed rather embarrassing!
