187: Six pieces are joined together, and a map of the Qilin ruins appears

FaCing Yu Xiu’s inquiry, the black-robed members of the Blood God Sect immediately fell silent.

They clearly did not enter the Qilin Relic through normal channels.

“Speak… or die!”

As Yu Xiu finished speaking, his face was filled with indifference, as if the black-robed members of the Blood God Sect opposite him were not living beings.

Not only that.

Yu Xiu also secretly used the deterrent ability of the Divine Beast Kirin’s soul.

At this moment.

The black-robed members of the Blood God Sect first trembled violently, then felt all the hairs on their bodies stand on end, their bodies uncontrollably quivering.

“Hmm?”

Noticing that the leading black-robed person seemed to be resisting, Yu Xiu snorted coldly, and the deterrent power of the Divine Beast Kirin’s soul increased again.

Thud!

In an instant, the black-robed members of the Blood God Sect opposite him immediately collapsed to the ground, their faces filled with terror, not even daring to make eye contact with Yu Xiu.

“We… we used the kirin jade pendant to enter through a relic crevice.”

The leading black-robed person answered tremblingly.

“Relic crevice?” Yu Xiu frowned.

The leading black-robed person hastily replied, “I… I’m not sure about the specifics. It’s a method left behind by the sect.”

Yu Xiu nodded slightly.

It’s unlikely these people would know about such a secret as a relic crevice.

Judging by the scent of the Blood God Potion on them, these people should be those arranged by the higher-ups.

With the Martial Dao era having been open for several hundred years, and the Blood God Sect backed by the state, it doesn’t seem impossible for them to know some hidden secrets.

Or perhaps, the leaders of the Blood God Sect are the high-ranking officials themselves, one can’t say for sure.

“How many people did you send in?”

“Over seven hundred people.”

Yu Xiu asked, “Are all seven hundred people like you?”

This question, however, made the leading black-robed person momentarily stunned. Clearly, he understood the implication in Yu Xiu’s words.

At this point, he also knew.

Yu Xiu understood the internal situation of the Blood God Sect.

It made sense.

After all, Yu Xiu was someone the cabinet valued, so knowing some secrets others didn’t was quite normal.

“Two hundred of them are not.”

Two hundred not being like him meant that these people were all traitors arranged by influential Families.

“Hand over your orange kirin jade pendant,” Yu Xiu said calmly.

The leading black-robed person was stunned again.

He hadn’t expected Yu Xiu to know he possessed a kirin jade pendant.

The key was that he could accurately state the color of the kirin jade pendant.

This was something he hadn’t anticipated.

Despite his surprise, his body was honest, and he obediently took out the orange kirin jade pendant.

“You may leave!”

Having obtained the orange kirin jade pendant, Yu Xiu also withdrew the deterrence of the Divine Beast Kirin’s soul.

After the black-robed members of the Blood God Sect returned to normal, they scrambled to their feet and fled.

“Boss, you’re just letting them go?”

Chu Tianjiao looked at the departing Blood God Sect members, a look of confusion on his face.

“They are different from the Blood God Sect members we encountered in Jiangtan City.”

Yu Xiu glanced at Chu Tianjiao and chuckled, “You’ll understand later.”

Chu Tianjiao nodded.

Although he was still confused, he had no doubt about Yu Xiu’s words.

Yu Xiu said they were different.

Then they must be different.

There must be a deeper meaning.

He immediately stopped dwelling on the Blood God Sect members and excitedly said, “Boss, you already have six kirin jade pendants now. You’re not far from collecting all nine kirin jade pendants.”

“Hehe, something Grandpa Chu didn’t witness, I, his grandson, am fortunate enough to see with my own eyes. I must show off to him when I go back.”

Yu Xiu laughed, “You brat, haven’t you had enough of Grandpa Chu’s beatings?”

“Just superficial wounds.”

Chu Tianjiao waved his hand dismissively, saying, “Boss, compared to my mental pleasure, superficial injuries are not worth mentioning.”

“I just love the look on Grandpa Chu’s face when he’s annoyed with me but can’t kill me.”

“He can only beat me up. It hurts, but I’m happy!”

“But Grandpa Chu will still be annoyed, there’s no doubt about that.”

“Speaking of which, I’m the one who gains.”

Yu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs-up and said, “Your logic is very clear.”

“Of course!” Chu Tianjiao smiled proudly, “This is the experience I’ve accumulated from getting beaten for over ten years.”

Yu Xiu shook his head with a smile.

Then he pieced the orange kirin jade pendant together with the other five kirin jade pendants.

It was at this moment.

The six kirin jade pendants, pieced together, suddenly underwent a strange transformation.

The six-colored light they emitted seemed to project a map.

Yu Xiu immediately took out the six pieced-together kirin jade pendants.

The light projected a map onto the ground, and on the map, various colored light spots flickered.

“This is a map of the Qilin Relic.”

As Yu Xiu’s voice sounded, Chu Tianjiao and the others immediately gathered closer to examine it carefully.

“Boss, it really seems to be a map of the Qilin Relic. This is the relic entrance we came through, and that is the location of the underground Qilin Divine Hall from the tombstone we entered earlier.”

Chu Tianjiao exclaimed, “Boss, what do these flickering light spots mean?”

“They are the locations of the kirin jade pendants.”

The moment Yu Xiu saw the map, he already understood its meaning.

“Cyan kirin jade pendant, green kirin jade pendant, yellow kirin jade pendant.”

Yu Xiu pointed to the flickering light spots on the map, “You see, these three colored light spots are moving, which proves that there are three kirin jade pendants here.”

Chu Tianjiao’s eyes lit up, and he strongly agreed with Yu Xiu’s statement.

“Boss, there’s also a cyan light spot here. What does this mean?”

Yu Xiu chuckled, “That means there’s an Opportunity related to the Wind Qilin here.”

“Wind Qilin?” Chu Tianjiao was completely puzzled, “Boss, is there such a thing as a Wind Qilin for the Divine Beast Kirin?”

Yu Xiu had also seen legends of the Qilin in the Classic of Mountains and Seas in his previous life.

At that time, he only thought the Classic of Mountains and Seas was not real, but now he could be sure that the Divine Beasts and creatures recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas were very likely all real.

“Yes, there is indeed a distinction.”

Yu Xiu explained, “Do you remember the Talent you gained earlier at the Human Venerable Stele? Yours was Qilin Fire, a crimson flame, while Han Yu’s was an orange flame.”

“In fact, this is the Fire Qilin, but the Fire Qilin has red and orange distinctions.”

“As for cyan, it’s the Wind Qilin; purple is the Thunder Qilin; the Water Kirin is blue.”

“As for the others like yellow and green, I’m not sure yet. We need to explore them ourselves.”

Chu Tianjiao nodded slightly, then pointed to a spot on the map, “Boss, according to your explanation, if various colors are gathered here, does that mean it’s the Qilin Divine Hall?”

Yu Xiu nodded, “Yes, this is very likely the Qilin Divine Hall.”

Saying that, Yu Xiu put away the six pieced-together kirin jade pendants and chuckled, “Now that we have this map, we can collect all nine kirin jade pendants in advance.”

“Six kirin jade pendants pieced together revealed a map of the Qilin Relic. I’m even more curious about what nine kirin jade pendants pieced together will reveal.”
