Chapter 25: The Villains Besiege the City, the Blood List The next morning, a few sparrows chirped and landed on the branches in the yard, scattering snow everywhere, bringing a cool breeze. The kang in the house was warm as spring. After refining the four strands of strange power, Chu Ge observed through his inner vision that his blood and qi had become so strong that he could condense one-ninth of a mighty tiger head. He only needed to condense one-sixth of a tiger head to break through to the middle stage of blood exchange. "If my meridians and acupuncture points could withstand more force, I could refine one more strand of special power every day, and my cultivation speed would be even faster..." Chu Ge thought to himself, pondered for a moment, and tried to separate a bit of the strange power in the dragon bell and integrate it into his body. Soon, I felt a tingling sensation in the meridians wherever it passed. He sighed secretly, and immediately took the strange power back into the dragon bell. It seems that even though he has broken through the blood exchange stage and his body strength has been strengthened again with the nourishment of qi and blood, the strengthening of his meridians and acupoints is also limited. I can only withstand four strands of strange power every day. Any more will damage my meridians and acupoints.

Learning martial arts depends on personal talent, and Chu Ge has no idea what his talent in martial arts is. Just listening to others praising you is amazing. But only he himself knows the tolerance of the meridians and acupoints. Whether this performance is strong or weak specifically, it involves supernatural powers and there is no comparison reference, so it is impossible to describe. He only knew that when he first started practicing martial arts, the acupoints in his meridians could only withstand a trace of strange power every day. Later, as his realm broke through, his physique became stronger and stronger, and the endurance of his meridians and acupoints also gradually increased. Now, it seems to have reached a bottleneck. If one wants to further increase the tolerance of the meridian acupoints, perhaps the only way is to obtain some rare treasures that can widen the meridian acupoints in the future, or to enter the extraordinary state of concentration. "Perhaps a person without spiritual aptitude is like a person whose meridians and acupoints are naturally blocked. The former's body cannot guide and bear the strange force, while the latter cannot move qi and blood to practice martial arts." Chu Ge calmed his blood and opened his eyes. In the room, two maids had calculated the time when he would wake up and were busy preparing toiletries. He got off the bed, his sturdy body had smooth muscular lines and layers of muscle. He quickly washed and dressed with the help of the maid. At this time, the sound of horses neighing and conversations could be heard faintly outside the house. Chu Ge's five senses are far superior to those of ordinary people. The qi and blood gathered slightly in his ears, and he could hear that it was Wang Xiuyun and his men coming outside. "More than twenty old items. If my luck is not too bad, they will at least give me seventy strands of special powers... This is a big deal." Chu Ge was excited and immediately put on his cloak and went out to meet Wang Xiuyun. ... The transaction process was smooth.

Wang Xiuyun even offered to give Chu Ge two of the old items for free to congratulate him on breaking through the Bone Refining Realm. Chu Ge, who has lived two lives, could actually vaguely see that Wang Xiuyun was interested in investing in him and making friends with him, probably wanting to be his angel investor. However, he himself was not short of money for the time being and did not want to owe too many favors, so he declined the offer and bartered, using the deed to his last restaurant for more than 20 old items plus 3,000 taels of silver. ... After a cup of tea. Inside the Chu family's reception hall. Wang Xiuyun put away the deed and asked curiously, "Chu Ge, it seems that you are planning to leave Linyuan City in the near future? You have sold almost all of your family's properties, and only this old house and the inn are left..." Chu Ge drank a sip of tea and nodded, "Yes, I am planning to leave. You know, I am going to the capital city. I originally planned to leave after my cultivation breakthrough, but now the situation inside and outside the city makes it difficult to leave..." Hearing this, Wang Xiuyun's expression turned serious, "It's good that you know it's not easy to leave. I was planning to remind you. Last night, the evil corpse-driver outside the city drove the flying head zombies to hunt and kill many people who left the city, and even the patrolling guards at the dock in the city were killed. I just got the news from the government this morning. Rumors are spreading all over the city, and people are in a panic... Leaving the city at this time is very risky." Chu Ge immediately thought of what he saw last night with the clairvoyant kite. Thinking of the unknown things that were dispersed last night, he frowned and said, "If what you said is true, I'm afraid there is more than just one flying head that is doing it. Are there many heads?" “Not necessarily. Even if there are, their strengths may be different. According to the latest information obtained by Lord Tian from the interrogation of the captured Tiandi Xianghuo Sect bandits, the corpse driver was most likely a powerful figure in the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect, but he had been lying dormant until now. This sudden attack might be revenge from the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect. "Wang Xiuyun's fingers were wrapped around a strand of hair, thinking, "Perhaps, he has also mobilized many people from the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect to set up checkpoints on all the important roads outside the city, including the waterways. That powerful flying head zombie is his weapon of intimidation." "This is indeed troublesome..." Chu Ge's brows raised, feeling it was a difficult problem. If many important roads outside the city, including waterways, are blocked by checkpoints, even if you dare to break in, you will soon alert the corpse driver. With the speed of the flying zombie we observed yesterday, it would be impossible for it to escape. "So...if you want to go to the capital city, at least wait until you are sure it is safe outside the city before leaving. Don't go there rashly to gamble." Wang Xiuyun reminded, "I was originally planning to go back to the capital to practice, but now I can only wait. I believe that Lord Tian and the Evil Suppression Division will have a solution. When the time comes, you can go with our Wang family's caravan." Chu Ge knew that Wang Xiuyun meant well, but he was not as optimistic as she was. Based on the crazy style of the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect in the past that dared to directly enter the city to rob, the corpse driver has the ability to severely damage Lin Hongtu of the Evil Suppression Bureau. I am afraid that after the test, the real intention will be exposed and Tian Youji will not have the chance to call for help. Therefore, there is not much time left for the people in the city. What other countermeasures can Tian Youji come up with? Soon, Chu Ge personally escorted Wang Xiuyun to the door.

Then he returned to the house and sacrificed all the twenty-three old items obtained from the transaction into the dragon bell. Unfortunately, although there were many old items this time, I did not find any treasures like the wine jugs like last time. They were just ordinary old items. The three old objects in the dragon bell, including the wine jug that was offered as a sacrifice last time, are still being refined. "What a shame. I hope there's enough time." Chu Ge was looking forward to it. If the wine and aroma in the jug are completely extracted, it will be much stronger than the fungus and poison he made himself, and he will also have an extra killing weapon as a trump card. The situation is critical now, and it is difficult for him to improve his martial arts skills in a short period of time. The accumulated supernatural power has increased a lot. Chu Ge planned to use the skills of left-handed embroidery to try to make an embroidered equipment that would enhance his strength - Pegasus boots - within the next one or two days. At the same time, in the Xuemen River Valley, only six or seven miles away from Linyuan City. The river banks on both sides are narrow, the sound of the river is like the roar of thousands of bulls galloping, and pale mist splashes in the valley. This river valley is the only way for merchant ships from Linyuan City to sail out. At this moment, it seemed as if an accident had happened, and several merchant ships sailing from Linyuan City had been intercepted. Whirlpools as big as baskets appeared in the river. Suddenly, figures appeared one after another, holding weapons in their mouths, and somersaulted onto the boat. In an instant, they started fighting with the warriors of the merchant caravan on the ship, and the shouts and screams quickly spread. Such a situation also frightened some merchant ships that had just left the city’s docks in the distance, so much so that they turned around and headed back. The same scene was also happening on the three main roads outside Linyuan City. In the sky where no one could see, among the mountains and forests, there were suddenly a number of terrifying flying zombie heads with intestines tangled around them. Two of them were slightly smaller and shriveled, and one had a cold face and fangs, and had a terrifying aura. Outside the city, in a dilapidated temple, an old man in a navy blue robe stood holding a large banner, staring at the broken Buddha statue in the temple with an expressionless face. A group of disciples of the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect, wearing cloaks, knelt in the open space behind them where they were originally worshipping Buddha. This group of arrogant criminals are now silent. Although the old man opposite has only the martial arts strength of the Blood Exchange Realm, the evil methods he possesses are enough to scare any martial artist in the Blood Exchange Realm. This old man was even included in the wanted list of several states in the Great Zhou, and was also ranked 73rd on the Blood List. He was notorious and was known as the Soul-Chasing Old Man. At this moment, the old man suddenly turned around, revealing a tall and thin face with a gloomy expression and a pair of eyes flashing with brilliance, and said coldly. "It seems that there are no more masters of the Evil Suppression Bureau in this city. I only lost a little ghost last night, so it's not a big problem. It's almost done. At dawn tomorrow, attack the city! I have completed the mission that your messenger failed to complete, and your mission is to capture all children under the age of six in the city, regardless of gender!" "Yes!"

The believers kneeling on the ground responded one after another, their faces under their cloaks showing fanaticism. ... ... (End of this chapter)
