Blood Pool Tower, Dead Moon Sect.
The gusts of wind blowing in the territory of the Dead Moon Sect were very different from other places. The gust of wind was gripping, carrying such a stifling feel that anyone would feel uneasy.
Among the vastness of this black-flow sect territory, there was a place whose air and ground were even capable of killing living beings. That place was known as the Blood Pool Tower.
The territory of this tower was in the northernmost part of the sect, separated by an artificial forest and the disciples of the Dead Moon Sect were strictly forbidden to enter the place.
The forest itself was vast with many dense trees, but the more one walked into it - he would begin to see some of the trees had dry leaves, even looked dead.
The Blood Pool Tower was one of the places specifically given to the 12 Moon Pillars to conduct meetings. The 5-story tower has an unusually dark black feel.
Inside the tower, there was a round and very large jade table. The table of the white jade gave off a light and became the only light of this place.
There were some people sitting on chairs, surrounding the table. Their faces were not visible because they were blocked by darkness. But from what it looks - they are warriors with such a great aura.
"Poster name Feng Hao Yan cracked. I don't know who he's dealing with,"
The mysterious voice sounded chapped, it was hard to detect whether it belonged to a man or belonged to a woman. Other voices were heard.
"Some time ago the plaque of Zhi Mei's name was destroyed. It seemed like Feng Hao Yan was fighting against the person who finished off his disciple."
"So did Feng Hao Yan also die?"
"Faithful followers of the Fire God seems to... It's impossible to just die."
A woman's laughter sounded. Only the voice of this person was not disguised. Even the subject bravely crammed his hands and propped his chin on the jade table. The face of the figure is now clearly visible.
The woman with a clean face and a small mole on the left side of her chin was named Xu Huan. It has an alluring smile with light purple eyes.
Xu Huan's eye color was actually a change from the training he had been doing all this time. Swordsmen, especially those who practice cultivation want great power and more than that... Their goal is to be eternal.
The path of immortality has many branches of training. This was also what made cultivators differentiated into two streams. And for the one who unhesitatingly chose the forbidden path... They were the ones referred to as cultivators of the Black Stream.
The Dead Moon Sect was famous for the most forbidden path of immortality in the Central Plains. This sect studied many forbidden techniques and even some of its members were known as Demon Cultivators.
Xu Huan was one of those people who could be called a Demon Cultivator. The cultivation technique he was doing was extremely dangerous. He implanted the Demonic Beast heart within his body to strengthen himself.
That way made Xu Huan's cultivation practice increase rapidly. It's just that the effects of this forbidden technique made his body mutate until there were some changes and the most obvious now was the color of his eyes.
"It would be very embarrassing if until Feng Hao Yan was killed at the hands of a young swordsman," Xu Huan smiled. He sighed and said, "I'm curious... Who is that attractive person who is so daring against the Dead Moon Sect."
"I heard that the person who killed Zhi Mei was the Dragon Swordsman. He had also gotten involved with Xue Xiaowen and even finished off the girl's followers,"
"Ha ha ha, really?" Xu Huan laughed. "Your young lady must be very upset. So Dragon Warrior, huh? Hmphc... Alright."
Xu Huan showed a meaningful smile. His eyes flashed before he started licking his lips, as if preparing to do something interesting.

Chu Kai himself did not know what kind of danger he was after right now. The young man was still so enjoying his attentively cared for days from Xia Ling Qing.
Even when he started to leave the Rufeng Tower Sect, Chu Kai did not release the bandage on his right hand as one of the strategies to keep this beautiful holy warrior in check.
"Miss Xia, give me some more food." Chu Kai was indeed very brave. He shamelessly asked to be fed by Xia Ling Qing when they ate inside one of the taverns.
"You... Can't you just move your left hand and eat?" Xia Ling Qing protested, but still did. Although the tone of his voice was still thin, but he still followed the words of this natural green-eyed young man.
Chu Kai with his innocent face said, "I can't use chopsticks with my left hand and besides, my father says food should be appreciated. We shouldn't use our left hand because it's disrespectful,"
"Hmph, I really want to stab you in the throat." Xia Ling Qing stuffed the piece of meat and gave it to the young man sitting beside her.
Chu Kai with a friendly smile said, "Please take good care of me. In the future, I will always protect Miss Xia."
"Kai, you want this one?" Liu Han Ying opened his voice. He stuffed the vegetables and softly said, "Let's open your mouth. I'll also bribe you,"
"Ehm, thank you Miss Liu but there's no need. Let Miss Xia do it,"
"Why should I?" Xia Ling Qing looked at this young man who somehow became very strange.
Without hesitation, Chu Kai replied. "Of course because Miss Xia is the future mother of my children."
!!
Xia Ling Qing flinched, while Liu Han Ying looked dumbfounded in disbelief at what he heard. Wei Zhang Zihan who was with them was seen coughing, barely choking on the rice he was eating.
Xia Ling Qing's gaze darkened. If only this subject had not been injured, then he would have already slammed this fellow onto the floor. On the other hand, Liu Han Ying seemed to blink a few times before starting to open his voice.
Liu Han Ying said, "He really expressed his feelings for you Ling Qing'Er. It's amazing,"
"Mn? What's?"
"Xia Ling Qing's... She is already married to Wei Zhang Zihan."
!!!
There were three shocked people on the table after hearing Liu Han Ying's words. Chu Kai and Xia Ling Qing even simultaneously exclaimed in response to their shock. Suddenly, Liu Han Ying's laughter broke.
"Miss Liu, you don't joke like that. I was about to hang up, "Chu Kai gently rubbed his chest and tried to catch his breath. "God..."
"Stop saying such ridiculous things," Wei Zhang Zihan opened his voice. He stuffed Liu Han Ying's mouth with hot dumplings and left the girl in shock.
"Zhang Zihan!" liu Han Ying's eyes were watery and she hit the young man beside her. The heat caused his tongue and mouth to burn, but he could not spit out the dumplings.
Xia Ling Qing snorted. "Hmph, that's a reply because you're talking recklessly again."
Liu Han Ying, "But you and Zhang Zihan have been paired up a lot. A lot of people say that you guys fit like a pair of phoenixes. Kai who is a big fan of yours must have heard this too. Isn't that right, Kai?"
"................" Chu Kai looked at Liu Han Ying before turning his gaze to Wei Zhang Zihan. At the same time, the young man also seemed to be looking at him with a difficult gaze to understand.
On the other hand, Xia Ling Qing gave a similar look to Wei Zhang Zihan even though this young man before him was staring at another subject.
"Ehm... I've heard of it, but...." Chu Kai scratched his non-itchy cheek softly before looking at Liu Han Ying and saying, "Darker Wei Zhang Zihan and Miss Xia Ling Qing do not like each other. So I'm not worried,"
Liu Han Ying blinked, "Why are you so confident? You don't realize they both heard you?"
"That's because... I already proposed to Miss Xia first," Chu Kai smiled and looked towards Xia Ling Qing.
"Hmph, shameless." Xia Ling Qing drank the water in the bamboo glass located on the table. He turned his face away and felt that this Chu Kai was too open to things that should not be so indulged.
Wei Zhang Zihan himself seemed to be sighing. He remembered Chu Kai so honestly speaking of his joy before Master Zhuang and until now-the heart-intent of this subject had still not changed.
Wei Zhang Zihan watched Xia Ling Qing. Now after all, it was only this girl who had to respond to it because it was obvious that Chu Kai had already expressed her heart intent.
Wei Zhang Zihan coughed, "This kind of personal succession is better discussed later. We should immediately return to the sect, there should be no delay of time anymore."
Xia Ling Qing turned his head and then nodded slowly. Liu Han Ying himself smiled, while Chu Kai also seemed to agree with Wei Zhang Zihan's words.
Chu Kai indeed had to immediately return to the Wushi Mountain Sect to meet Master Zhuang. He had to talk about some important things with the swordsman.
".............." Chu Kai looked towards Xia Ling Qing and not for a long time he gasped. He immediately turned his head when he sensed something and saw some of the customers of this tavern staring strangely at him.
Chu Kai only momentarily looked at those people before he again asked Xia Ling Qing for food. They stayed in the shop for a long time before continuing their journey.
"Ehm... You guys can leave first," Chu Kai suddenly opened his voice and made Wei Zhang Zihan, Xia Ling Qing, as well as Liu Han Ying turn his head towards him.
"Whatchu mean? We should leave immediately," Liu Han Ying frowned. They had only taken a few steps to leave the tavern and Chu Kai had already made another move.
"Where are you going?" Xia Ling Qing asked without a tone.
"It... I must answer nature's call," Chu Kai held onto his stomach and smiled bitterly. Xia Ling Qing and Liu Han Ying seemed to know the intent of the 'Call of Nature.
"You want company?" Wei Zhang Zihan opened his voice and made Chu Kai flinch.
Shaking his head slowly, Chu Kai said. "This opens up something that needs help. I can handle it myself. You better wait for me under that tree. I'll be right back after finishing, okay?"
?!
Wei Zhang Zihan, Liu Han Ying, and Xia Ling Qing blinked. They watched as Chu Kai dashed into the tavern and seemed to be in a great hurry. It felt that the young man already could not resist to immediately answer the call of nature.
"It's completely new," Liu Han Ying opened his voice. He rubbed his neck and said, "In the Wushi Mountain Sect, only novice disciples and yet to practice cultivation are wearing bathrooms. But wasn't his practice already at the Heavenly Cultivation Level? He should have been able to turn food into energy and not leave it to dirt."
"Mn, I don't know. I don't think he's forgotten his habits while still living in the tavern" Wei Zhang Zihan expressed his opinion and made Liu Han Ying nod slowly.
Xia Ling Qing himself looked straight ahead before finally sighing. He crossed his arms and tonelessly said, "Let's just wait for him there. If long should be left,"
"You don't miss it," Liu Han Ying followed Xia Ling Qing and said, "The young man is still sick. You have to be nice to your future husband,"
"Han Ying, you want to die?"
"Ha ha ha, I was just kidding. But the future no one knows, you and Kai could be a match."
"Liu Han Ying..!"
"Yes, yeah. Not teasing you anymore,"
