Chapter 455 Joint Agreement

swirling miasma of corpses and ghostly realm, leaving both feeling unwell and their strength suppressed. Seeing that the situation had reached a critical point, staying any longer was extremely danger...As the terracotta warriors entered the cave, they passed through two formations in the middle. After entering the formation, Lu Xia Tian felt that even the sounds from the outside world had been cut off.

The cavern was a hidden world, far grander than Lu Xiaotien had imagined. It spanned hundreds of meters in diameter, divided into several stone chambers. Inside, dozens of terracotta figures stood proudly, some holding long swords, others clad in armor, each one remarkably lifelike.

"How's this place" the terracotta soldier turned and said.

“Not bad.” Lu Xia Tian’s face didn't show the surprise in his heart. His eyes swept around, and Lu Xia Tian judged that this cave dwelling was definitely not built in recent years. It probably had been around for some time. He had last encountered this clay figurine at Lake Jixing. Judging by its familiarity with this place, wasn’t it saying that he had been here before

Lu Xiaitian was even more curious about the mysterious origin of this clay figurine.

"You needn't guess my identity; you couldn't possibly. Although there were several cultivation worlds in the place you came from, it was merely a corner of the entire cultivation world. The place you now stand on is called Bloodgourd Island. There's a natural restriction here. To leave, there are only two paths: first, to have cultivation that surpasses the Golden Core stage; second, to obtain the Chillingblood Gourd. I came to you for this very reason. Because my physical body has been destroyed and my strength greatly diminished, I must rely on your help to leave." The clay sculpture stated bluntly.

“This Chilling Blood Gourd is the Blood Gourd Daoist’s magic weapon. To covet his magic weapon, isn't that asking to die” Lu Xiaoteng continued waiting for the pottery figurine to speak further.

The terracotta warrior said, "Normally, the Chi Blood Gourd is always carried by the Blood Gourd Daoist. However, although the Chi Blood Gourd is powerful, due to the special materials used in its creation and the excessive refining of human essence blood, in recent years, every period of time, the power of blood evil within the Chi Blood Gourd would riot once. Even the Blood Gourd Daoist couldn't suppress it, so he could only place the Chi Blood Gourd far away from himself. Otherwise, the rioting blood evil power could even cause the Blood Gourd Daoist's internal mana to flow in reverse. At best, he would be seriously injured, and at worst, he would fall into demonic obsession. This is our chance, of course, even then, someone must cooperate, otherwise, we cannot achieve our goal."

"Could it be that you stole the Chi Blood Gourd Since the Chi Blood Gourd is the Blood Gourd Daoist's artifact, it naturally has a response. As long as we wait for some time, the Blood Gourd Daoist will be able to catch up and kill us." Lu Xia Tian asked coldly.

"Of course not, just need to pour out two drops of essence blood from the Chilling Blood Gourd. One drop would be enough for both you and me to open the restriction here and leave the territory of the Blood Gourd Daoist. Then the roads will diverge, and we'll each go our own way. What do you say"

“I presume you have a complete plan in place for extracting the essence blood, entering Blood Gourd Immortal's forbidden grounds, and deceiving others. How shall we divide our labor” Lu Xia Tian squinted and asked. In fact, having already entered this place, Lu Xia Tian didn't feel he had any room to back out. If he refused to cooperate, for fear of exposure, Tao Yong would likely be the first to deal with him.

"Leaving you alone, I'm afraid you wouldn't feel safe either. Naturally, the two of us should act together. You make a good point. That Blood Hu Daoist values his Blood Hu greatly. Even if he isn't around, he has heavily guarded it. Although they are all just Foundation Establishment cultivators, they are quite troublesome, especially those blood attendants. I can use puppets to charge in and naturally solve them, but it will be too noisy and inevitably alert the Blood Hu Daoist. However, your strength is also extremely powerful. If the two of us join forces, we still have a few chances of winning." The Tao figurine chuckled heartily.

“In that case, let’s do it. However, I am currently injured and need to recuperate for a considerable amount of time before my strength returns. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won't be much help.” Lu Xiaoteng said with a frown.

"Well, I've been waiting for years since leaving Jixing Lake, and I don't mind waiting a little longer. The evil cultivation of the Blood-Hulu Taoist is quite domineering. Now is definitely not the best time to make a move. Let's wait until the reaction of the one who wields the Blood-Hulu becomes even bigger before we take further action. Even if you need to nurture your injuries for a few years, it's fine." Tao Yong smiled upon hearing this, "This place is secluded, why don't you recuperate here"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"No, I'd rather go out. I don't feel very comfortable staying here." Lu Xia Tian shook his head and refused.

To Lu Xiaitian's surprise, he thought the clay figure would try to persuade him to stay, but the clay figure readily agreed without hesitation.

“Since you let this kid go so easily, are you not afraid he will leak our plan” Not long after Lu Xiaoteng left, the terracotta figurine who had been standing beside Zhong with a spear in hand put his spear on the bronze stand nearby. Then, with his hands behind his back, he walked forward and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the previous terracotta figurine.

"As for Ding, I see that you've become wary after being betrayed by the Blood Gourd. That boy was originally a cultivator from the Qingyu Continent. He must have mistakenly entered the teleportation array before. But that teleportation array is one-way and cannot return. The teleportation array to the Qingyu Continent is in the hands of my Fu clan. I'm not afraid this boy can cause any trouble. Moreover, this time to take the Blood Gourd demon beast, Chi Xuehu, we do need his help. If it weren't for the fact that both you and I have suffered a decline in strength, how could the Blood Gourd demon beast have the opportunity to rebel!" called out the clay figurine named Fu Xing with certainty.

“Cultivators from the Azure Sky Continent Then we can’t let them live. After we escape, let's deal with this kid first. Once our strength is restored, we'll go find that blood gourd demon to settle the score!” When it came to the blood gourd, Fu Ding couldn't help but feel a surge of intense hatred.

“This young man with silver hair is very careful in his movements. He doesn't want to stay here either, lest he see through your existence.” Fu Xing touched his chin and said.

“But just a Foundation Establishment late stage cultivator, you seem to think highly of him.” Fu Ding snorted coldly.

“Don't underestimate this person. In my battle with Zhao Zhuodan, although I ultimately killed him, I was severely injured and trapped by his One Yuan Heavy Water Formation. It took countless years to control the One Yuan Heavy Water Illusion Array. I didn't even think that I could escape one day. I just wanted to use the formation to kill more members of the Zhao clan. This silver-haired youth not only saw through this formation but also, by chance, broke it. That's how I was able to escape. This person is not only unmatched in strength among foundation building cultivators, but his mind is also incredibly meticulous, something I have never seen before in my life. Even you and I, as old fellows, could be led astray if we are not careful.” Fu Xing said cautiously.

“Now that we are both free, even though we are not Golden Core cultivators, this kid, no matter how capable he is, can't escape the palm of our hands, can he” Fu Ding sneered coldly.
