Chapter 1261: The Revival of the Blood Emperor

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Chen took the two women to higher ground.

“Why don’t we keep on running?” The female Water Spirit asked, puzzled. She was not strong enough to deal with Spirit Emperors at all, not to mention eight Spirit Emperors.

“No matter how far we run, they’ll be able to catch up with us.” Jiang Chen took out the compass and tried to figure out its working principle as quickly as possible. Then he grasped Ye Xue’s hand and left a spiritual seal on one of her fingertips. When the spiritual seal was done, a luminous dot on the compass disappeared.

“That’s exactly what I thought.” Jiang Chen smiled. The compass was tracing the Water Spirit and the Ice Spirit based on the characteristics of their spiritual powers. The compass would stop working as long as the spiritual powers were isolated. It sounded simple, but the spiritual seal was the key. Not just anyone could make a spiritual seal that would not affect their battles and at the same time hide its trace.

“Come here.” Jiang Chen looked toward the female Water Spirit.

To his surprise, she hesitated, pressing her lips into a thin line.

“We won’t take you with us, since they still can sense your existence,” said Jiang Chen.

“There is no other way?” The female Water Spirit continued, “I don’t want any man to touch me.”

“Miss.” Jiang Chen rolled his eyes. Holding Ye Xue’s hand, he said, “Do you think you are prettier than she is?”

The female Water Spirit was good-looking. Female Water Spirits were usually pretty, because their skin retained sufficient moisture and was smooth and fair due to the property of water. However, Ye Xue was way beyond comparison.

“It’s not that. I just can’t let any man touch me.” The woman knew what he meant. She looked as if she felt wronged.

“Let me handle it.” Walking up, Ye Xue said, “I’ve memorized the spiritual seal.”

Jiang Chen agreed. He told her some key points about the spiritual seal. After everything was finished, the luminous dot that represented the female Water Spirit also disappeared from the compass.

“Thank you very much. My name is Shui Zhen’er.”

“Now that you can’t be traced, let’s act separately,” said Jiang Chen.

Ye Xue and Shui Zhen’er looked puzzled. The latter had not insisted on going with them, so what Jiang Chen said sounded quite weird.

“It’s you, Water Spirit, who brought the Metal Spirit and the Fire Spirit here.” Jiang Chen told her what the chieftain of the Fire Spirits had told him, including the fact that those two teams could enter and leave the tactical formation at will.

“How come?” Shui Zhen’er could hardly believe it, but she had to believe it due to the scroll.

“What did the Water Spirit want to get from doing that?” Ye Xue said, confused. It obviously did no good to any party.

“To get others to do their dirty work, as simple as that,” said Jiang Chen.

Shui Zhen’er reacted strongly to Jiang Chen’s response. She looked toward him. Her brow gradually knitted to show her confusion.

“As long as they can avoid the compass, the two teams of the Metal Spirit and the Fire Spirit won’t know how many people are exactly here. Then, after they leave, the one who holds on until the last minute will be able to become the Sacred Lord,” said Jiang Chen. “By then only the last person left will take the test. No matter what result he or she gets, that person will just pass.”

Ye Xue tumbled to the reality. She said, “That’s too cruel. They’ll hurt their clansmen as well this way.”

Jiang Chen threw Shui Zhen’er a glance abruptly. He said in a deep voice, “Who is the first person that came to your mind as I spoke?!”

“No, nobody.” Shui Zhen’er had been given a fright. She shook her head.

“You must have thought about someone.” Jiang Chen’s look was so deep that it seemed to be able to see through one.

“Prince Tian Ping wouldn’t do such things,” said Shui Zhen’er. However, her argument did not sound persuasive at all.

“Prince Tian Ping!” Ye Xue was shocked by this name. She told Jiang Chen that this person was very extreme. He hated the evolved Spirit clans. He thought the Ice Spirits would destroy the Water Spirits. This prince once got very drunk at a public occasion. He claimed he would enslave the Ice Spirits if one day he took the throne.

Jiang Chen did not need to know any more about this prince. What mattered to him was what to do next.

Since he had found Ye Xue, he did not have to confront the two teams head-on. He could just leave here. However, if he left, it meant they would give the Sacred Lord’s title away to others. Jiang Chen did not want Ye Xue to lose this opportunity.

Ye Xue did not want to lose the opportunity to get the Ice Soul Stone. “As far as I know, you are not a person who will avoid fights,” said Ye Xue.

“Okay. We’ll fight then.” Jiang Chen showed a helpless smile, but he sounded quite determined.

“So, you are not going to escape?” These two’s madnesses were beyond Shui Zhen’er’s imagination. She was kind of at a loss. “I mean, we are all Spirit Kings. A human Martial Emperor in the preliminary stage is kind of a Spirit King too. But now there are eight Spirit Emperors hunting us,” Shui Zhen’er said distractedly. Jiang Chen was at his wit’s end when facing four Spirit Emperors, not to mention eight.

“That’s why it is an adventure.” Jiang Chen replied this way. If everything went smoothly and no challenges arose at all, what was the sense of him being here in the World of Bloody Sea?

“We can send you out first,” said Ye Xue. That was evidently what Shui Zhen’er wanted to hear. She wanted to leave this place full of controversies. However, Jiang Chen and Ye Xue’s courage made her somewhat uneasy.

“I’ll stay with you.” Thinking it over, Shui Zhen’er plucked up her courage to tell them she would stay.

“There will only be one Sacred Lord. Even if you stay, you will have to fight with her in the end,” Jiang Chen reminded her.

“I don’t expect to be the Sacred Lord. As long as I can be stronger, it will be worthwhile for me. It’s exactly for this purpose that the Water Spirit sent us here. Otherwise the clan would just have sent the strongest ones here,” said Shui Zhen’er.

Jiang Chen was surprised by her reply. He gazed at this woman seriously. She was pretty and young, even a bit green, with wonderful features and beautiful eyes. Her beauty was different from Ye Xue’s. If she were not armed to the teeth and her weapons were not covered with blood, he would say she was very lovely.

“Is she pretty?” He heard Ye Xue’s beautiful voice.

Jiang Chen suddenly came to himself when he was about to nod without realizing what he was doing.

Stared at by him, Shui Zhen’er flushed. She felt extremely awkward since Ye Xue was there.

“Not as pretty as apprentice elder sister,” Jiang Chen explained immediately, through holy awareness, of course.

Ye Xue snorted coldly without speaking. However, Jiang Chen knew it meant she would settle it with him next time she had a chance.

All of a sudden, Jiang Chen found Ye Xue and Shui Zhen’er were listening attentively. Soon, the two women exchanged a look seriously. “The Sacred Spirits just notified us that a Blood Emperor was reviving in the deep mountains, and whoever killed him would be the Sacred Lord. We should do it by all means,” said Ye Xue.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen found it was impossible to enter or leave the mountains anymore, since the Sacred Spirits had isolated this area.

“Blood Emperor...that means a Martial Sovereign?!” Shui Zhen’er’s voice was shaking.

Blood General, Blood King, Blood Emperor, and Blood Venerable, they corresponded to the four states that started with Martial. When the Great Sovereign had almost become extinct, a Blood Emperor suddenly popped out. It was like a prank.

“The Blood Emperor won’t be in his prime when he has just revived. We must act quickly. Otherwise, when he sucks enough blood and his strength recovers, all of us will die here!” Jiang Chen realized how serious this was.
