41: Mo Ce fakes his death

On the other side.

After Xiao Wan left Yu Xiu's villa, she went into the forest alone, walking all the way to the very edge before stopping. Then, she imitated a bird's call twice.

"You did well!"

A figure leaped directly down from the dense tree canopy.

Upon seeing the newcomer's face, Xiao Wan's eyes immediately turned cold.

"Don't look at me like that."

"You want to kill me and take my place, Xiao Wan! You are truly naive."

"I'm not like those Young Masters in the Blood God Sect. I, Mo Ce, climbed to this position step by step, treading on corpses."

"Your little schemes, do you really think they could hide from me?"

The person who came was indeed Mo Ce, the Lin'an Mo Ce whom everyone believed to be dead.

When Xiao Wan arranged for him to be poisoned, it turned out to be a conspiracy.

Mo Ce had gone to great lengths to arrange a fallback plan for himself.

He had long known that the Chu family was monitoring him, and he also knew that the main forces of the Blood God Sect could not enter Qin Province.

So, when he learned that Xiao Wan was Yu Xiu's childhood sweetheart, he brought her into the Blood God Sect and gave her Blood God No. 1, which caused Xiao Wan's strength to skyrocket overnight.

Then, he gradually nurtured Xiao Wan's ambition, and later deliberately leaked the news that the Blood God Sect wanted to assassinate Yu Xiu.

Sure enough, Xiao Wan fell for it.

However, he couldn't be sure if Xiao Wan would follow his plan.

But he had to gamble.

After all, his life was a gamble, so what else wouldn't he dare to gamble?

Fortunately, he won the bet.

Then came Xiao Wan's poisoning of him.

Mo Ce thus feigned death to escape, supporting Xiao Wan to become the person in charge on the surface.

Meanwhile, he successfully retreated, further advancing his status within the Blood God Sect.

The Blood God Sect in Qin Province is divided into four regions, and Mo Ce is now the general head of one of these regions.

It was precisely because of this that Mo Ce obtained the long-coveted Blood God No. 3, allowing his strength to Breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm overnight.

"Where's my item?"

Now that Mo Ce was a Grandmaster, Xiao Wan knew she was no match for him and didn't want to waste any more words with him.

"Xiao Wan, I advise you to be more respectful to me. Although I cannot kill you, the organization will not care if I torment you."

Mo Ce showed a perverted smile and continued, "I wonder if you've heard of Cuckoo Grass. If I were to imprison you with a Vicious Beast that has consumed Cuckoo Grass, what do you think the consequences would be?"

Xiao Wan couldn't help but tremble upon hearing this.

She naturally knew about Cuckoo Grass.

This was a type of desire-inducing herb cultivated by the Blood God Sect.

The reason it was cultivated as an herb was to make it colorless and odorless, undetectable even with precise instruments.

"I'm still useful!"

"Yu Xiu needs me to contact him."

Although Xiao Wan was unwilling to yield, thinking of Cuckoo Grass, her tone softened a bit.

"I know, I know!"

"You are now the organization's precious darling, how could I bear to torment you!"

Mo Ce chuckled twice and pulled out a glass test tube as thick as a thumb, filled with some crimson liquid.

"This is Blood God No. 2. After consuming it, you will Breakthrough to a Sixth-Grade Martial Artist."

Seeing Mo Ce take out the test tube, Xiao Wan seemed to lose control in that instant.

Her whole body trembled, staring at the test tube in Mo Ce's hand with a look of longing.

"Give it to me, quickly give it to me."

Mo Ce saw Xiao Wan's appearance and smirked, "A dog is still a dog after all."

After speaking, he threw the test tube on the ground.

Xiao Wan lunged forward, her hands trembling as she opened the test tube.

Then she tilted her head back and drank it.

At this moment, Xiao Wan showed a very enjoyable expression, as if she was ascending.

Ugh! Ugh!

This lasted for only thirty seconds.

Xiao Wan's neck immediately bulged with veins, and she writhed in pain on the ground.

Just like that!

It continued for five minutes.

Xiao Wan finally quieted down.

When she opened her eyes again, her strength had already Breakthrough to a Sixth-Grade Martial Artist.

"Tell me after Yu Xiu leaves."

Mo Ce sneered, then climbed back up the tree canopy, stepping on the tree trunk.

Xiao Wan, however, remained dazed in place.

Consuming the Blood God series of potions can indeed rapidly increase one's strength, but the side effects of the potions are very severe.

The user will be unable to Breakthrough their Realm through their own abilities for life.

Furthermore, the user will become severely addicted and will also periodically go mad and lose control.

To maintain normal consciousness, one must regularly take the special antidote provided by the Blood God Sect.

"Do you regret it?"

Xiao Wan whispered.

But she quickly shook her head.

If Mo Ce hadn't given her Blood God No. 1 back then, she wouldn't have survived.

In this dog-eat-dog forest, a person who isn't even a Martial Artist cannot survive.

Sixth-Grade Martial Artist!

Many people can't reach that in their entire lives.

Even if the cost is being controlled, at least she doesn't have to live like a dog, where a slight mistake could cost her life.

Of course!

This is also why the Blood God Sect can recruit so many followers.

Even if some people know there's something fishy, they are still willing to jump in.

Rather than living worse than a dog, it's better to entrust one's life to the Blood God Sect and live as a person.

...

"Boss, don't worry. In this small corner of Qin Province, if our Chu family wants to protect someone, even the Heavenly King and Old Man cannot touch them, let alone the Blood God Sect, which is like a rat."

After Chu Tianjiao learned about this, he immediately brought Yu Xiu to a four-story flat building in the deepest part of the Training Camp.

"All the high-ranking officials of the Genius Training Camp are here, including the General Instructor."

Chu Tianjiao explained, "Once you enter the Genius Training Camp area, all communication devices can no longer be used."

"We're going to find the General Instructor and ask him to help us contact our Chu family."

While explaining, everyone had already walked into the four-story flat building. The guard at the entrance saw Chu Tianjiao and didn't even glance at them.

Yu Xiu and the others thus easily walked into the core area of the Genius Training Camp.

"Old Deng, are you in?"

Chu Tianjiao was clearly familiar with these procedures. He shouted as he pushed open the door of an office.

"My little ancestor, why do you come to my place every other day?"

Inside was a middle-aged man, also wearing an instructor's uniform, but his uniform was light blue, unlike the military green of the other instructors.

"Yu Xiu, it's good to see you."

Old Deng looked up and saw that there were others, so he got up and came before Yu Xiu.

"There will be plenty of opportunities to exchange pleasantries later. Right now, my Boss is not in the mood to deal with you."

Chu Tianjiao interrupted, "Quickly take us to the communication room. I need to contact my family."

"Contact your family?"

"The situation is urgent. The Blood God Sect is preparing to act against my Boss's family members to threaten my Boss."

Old Deng's face changed drastically upon hearing this, and he stopped talking nonsense. "No need for a warrant, I'll personally take you to the communication room."

Old Deng was well aware of the Chu family'sPay attention to of Yu Xiu, and since this matter also involved the Blood God Sect, he naturally dared not be careless in the slightest.

"Hurry up!"

Just now, Chu Tianjiao was anxious, but now it was he himself who kept urging them on.
