Chapter 1082: Leaving (Please Subscribe)_1

Her entire cultivation level had undergone a groundbreaking transformation, especially that of Duanmu Lian, who could even sense traces of bloodline suppression emanating from her!

Had the latter not also absorbed the blood from one of the blood pools, the suppression ability would have been even stronger!

Of course, for Xu Sheng, their bloodline was nothing but a speck of dust in front of a mountain!

Seeing her fully awake, Duanmu Lian's heart, which had been weighed down by a boulder, finally relaxed, and she exclaimed with joy, "Qingruo, you're awake?"

It looked like the absorption had gone smoothly; at least there were no dangers!

Upon hearing this sentence, Zhou Qingruo's pair of emotionless amber beautiful eyes quietly hardened as she turned to look at Duanmu Lian beside her!

Her tone was quite chilly as she said, "Mhm, I have woken up!"

She could clearly feel that her cultivation level was about to reach the Half-Step Saint Realm! A breakthrough was merely a matter of time!

Although this bloodline absorption had not greatly boosted her cultivation level, it could not be denied that it definitely made her future path of cultivation much smoother!

Duanmu Lian patted her chest and said, "You scared me to death just now! Seeing you in so much pain, I even thought about putting you in my blood pool!"

Zhou Qingruo's expression darkened upon hearing this...

Put herself in her blood pool? Wouldn't that mean absorbing two different bloodlines?

There was no need to think about the final outcome; it would definitely cost her life. But thinking about it, it must have been Xu Sheng who stopped her from doing so!

Otherwise, she would have been doomed by Duanmu Lian's rash decision!

Xu Sheng, who had been silent up to this point, intently gazed at their graceful forms, crossed his arms, and chuckled, "Qingruo, Miss Lian, now that you have finished absorbing the bloodline, you should put on your clothes first!"

These two had even forgotten that they were stark naked, soaking in the blood pool!

Had there been other men here, they would have certainly been captivated by such an enticing scene...

Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo turned their heads to look at Xu Sheng, first in a daze. When they realized their delicate bodies were completely uncovered, their cheeks gradually heated up...

The former hurriedly covered her sensitive areas with her hands, bit her lip with a touch of embarrassment, and complained, "Xu Sheng! Why didn't you tell us sooner, making us exposed in front of you!"

Both she and Zhou Qingruo had been unwittingly exposed to Xu Sheng's gaze for quite some time!

Xu Sheng arched an eyebrow, his tone casual as he responded, "I had already seen everything earlier, so even if you don't wear anything now, it's okay!"

Hearing the teasing in his words, Duanmu Lian turned her head away, pouting and huffed a cold "Humph"...

Zhou Qingruo, on the other hand, didn't show any displeasure. As Xu Sheng had said, during the long period just now, every inch of her and Duanmu Lian's bodies had been seen...

It's like unplugging a device—just because you unplug it, does it mean you never plugged it in?

With this thought, she immediately took out a light blue robe from her Storage Cosmos Bag and covered her enchanting body...

Seeing this, Duanmu Lian didn't pursue the matter further and quickly dressed in a robe, then said, "Let's go then, Xu Sheng, Qingruo, it's time to look for a way out of the secret realm!"

The best treasures of this secret realm had been obtained by the two of them, so staying any longer would be a waste of time!

...

Above the secret passage, several foreign clan elders wore hesitant expressions as they looked down...

They speculated that Xu Sheng and his group had entered the secret passage for several hours without emitting any spirit force fluctuations or signs of distress, possibly falling to a trap and meeting their demise!

"What do you think, did the Duanmu Clan's folks encounter trouble? Why haven't they come up from the secret passage until now?"

"I'm not sure, but if something happened, good! That way no one will stop us from going in to get the treasures!"

"Dream on. Do you think the Duanmu Clan would leave us even a single treasure? Keep dreaming!"

"Damn it! We've come this far, got nothing, and basically worked for others for nothing."

As this heated conversation was underway, Xu Sheng and the others emerged from the secret passage...

Immediately, they quickly shut their mouths, and a cautious look stealthily appeared in their hearts...

It's said you can't judge a book by its cover. If these Duanmu Clan Elders suddenly made a move, they would have no chance to react!

Xu Sheng glanced at these Elders with an indifferent smile and said, "Well? Continue talking, won't you?"

One of the Foreign Clan Elders responded with an awkward laugh, "…No need! We've already finished what we needed to say!"

Another Foreign Clan Elder said with a fawning smile, "Elder Xu, I wonder if you've found any good items?"

Before Xu Sheng could answer, Duanmu Lian, who stood to the side, heard this and coldly snapped without an ounce of mercy, "What does it have to do with you?"

That comment stunned them on the spot, their faces somewhat unable to hide their embarrassment...

However, there was nothing they could do. In the presence of Xu Sheng and the others, their strength was simply inadequate, and if a fight broke out, they would be killed in minutes!

With this in mind, they could only swallow their embarrassment, "This… we were too hasty indeed; it really wasn't necessary for us to know! But from the looks on your faces, you must have gotten something good."

In their hearts, they bitterly thought, "Damn it, how dare they be so arrogant! If it weren't for the fact that we can't beat them, how could we let them act so wildly in front of us!"

Duanmu Lian's beautiful eyes glanced at these Foreign Clan Elders with a hint of urgency and said to Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, let's hurry on."

She had a bad feeling in her heart ever since she entered the Secret Realm, always sensing that something might have happened to the Duanmu Clan!

Xu Sheng softly "Mhmm" in response, took a deep look at the Elders, and then they all turned and left...

Only after Xu Sheng and the others had departed did the Elders on the spot breathe a sigh of relief as if they had just escaped from a life-and-death crisis...

"They've finally gone. If we had stayed any longer, I felt like I was about to suffocate!"

"Exactly, I hope we don't run into these monstrously powerful freaks again!"

"Stop talking nonsense; let's hurry down the passage and see if there's anything they might have overlooked!"

Elders from a top-tier clan could only hope to find treasures that others didn't need!

...

Meanwhile, inside Duanmu Mansion, a severely injured Elder from the Long Family was sprawled on the ground, his eyes full of hatred as he watched the Mo Family Patriarch approach, gritting his teeth, "You… the Mo Family… are despicable to the extreme! To enact such a deed!"

Upon hearing this, the Mo Family Patriarch sneered disdainfully, "Hmph? Despicable? It's nothing but a joke!"

With those words, he stepped forward and viciously stomped down upon the other...

There was a deafening "Bang!"...

Rivers of crimson blood burst forth as the Elder's body was brutally crushed to bits by the Mo Family Patriarch's stomp!

Looking down at the remains below, the Mo Family Patriarch merely gave them a cold glance before shifting his gaze away...
