ent energy raged through the area. The force it generated created shockwaves that swept in all directions with reckless abandon. Buildings around them crumbled under this onslaught, reduced to dust as...Jiusheng Mountain Open Plaza, inside a tavern.

Su Xin

The master of Jiuxing Dao arrived in front of Su Xin's seat.

"The Daoist Master, please have a seat. I am Su Xin."

After returning to Jiusheng Mountain, Su Xin no longer used the Heiyunzhu to disguise himself. His cultivation level was still only at the peak of the Po Xu realm.

This is also to be able to distinguish himself from the identity of 'Kenichi'.

No matter what kind of trouble Jian Yi gets into on the battlefield, others may not be able to guess his true identity. After all, their cultivation levels are clearly not on the same level.

"Well then, what message called me over Speak up," said the master of Jiuzhen.

To be honest, I went to the Qingxuan Battlefield recently and got some unexpected gains, Su Xin said.

"Oh You, a mere Void Realm cultivator, going to the battlefield" Ninth Star Dao Master looked at Su Xin in surprise and then said, "What kind of harvest did you get Show me."

Su Xin immediately flipped his hand, taking out the talisman that emanated a faint electric power.

"This... is a token from the island of Thunder" Nine-Star Dao Master was startled. With his vision, he naturally recognized this token at a glance.

"Su Xin, you're too lucky! You haven't even been on the battlefield for long and you already got this" exclaimed Jiuzhen Daozhu in astonishment.

Su Xin laughed and said, "I had this token appraised at the War Merit Repository before. It could be exchanged for 100,000 War Merit points there, but I didn't choose to exchange it. After all, exchanging something like this for War Merit points would be too much of a loss."

"Well, you're right," the Dao Lord of Jiuxin nodded. "The exchange price given by the War Merit Vault is just the lowest value of the treasure. If it were an ordinary kind that was more common, perhaps there would be a large number of substitute treasures in the War Merit Vault itself. You could just exchange them. However, things like the Lei Ting Island Token, which only has a total of one hundred pieces and is incredibly sought-after, are best traded outside."

"Su Xin, you found me, is it to ask me to handle this token" Jiucheng Daozhu asked.

"Su Xin smiled and said, "I haven't been in Jiusheng Mountain for long, and I don't know many people. I have no idea who is interested in this, so I can only ask the headmaster."

“The Head of the Nine Stars agreed readily, “Dealing with other matters might be more difficult, but this Thunder Island token…as far as I know, Thunder Island will appear again in two years. Right now, within Nine Saints Mountain, even among the five Nirvana Realm experts that I know, several are searching for it.”

If you trust me, just hand over this item to me. I guarantee you a good price for it. I can't promise too much, but at least 200,000 battle points are guaranteed.

"Twenty thousand battle points" Su Xin's eyes lit up.

It used to be in the rewards vault, but you could only exchange it for 100,000 battle points. However, bringing it outside, you can easily exchange it for 200,000 battle points, instantly doubling your gains.

Su Xin didn't hesitate and directly handed the Thunder Island relic to Jiuzhen Daozhu.

"Master Dao, you don't need this token" Su Xin suddenly asked.

The chance encounters on Thunder Island are extraordinary, holding great appeal for many in the Five Step Nirvana Realm, including those at the peak of the Five Step.

If the Dao Master of Jiuxing also wanted to enter Lei Ting Island, Su Xin wouldn't mind gifting the token directly to the Dao Master of Jiuxing.

"Haha, I don't need to go. Nine Star Dao Master smiled instead, "The opportunities within Thunderbolt Island are indeed good, but I went there once a long time ago and gained some harvests. Naturally, there's no need for me to go a second time."

Su Xinran understood.

"Su Xin, you've just gone to the Qingxuan Battlefield and gotten such a good thing. After processing your military merits, you have to treat me to nine drinks," said the Daoist Master of Nine Heavens.

That's natural," Su Xin said with a smile.

The two people were drinking and chatting in the tavern.

By the way, Master Daoist, there's one more thing.

Su Xin pulled back his right sleeve, revealing the conspicuous blood-red mark on his arm. His expression was solemn as he asked, "Master Daoist, do you recognize this mark"

Jiuchendaozhu glanced at the blood-colored mark, and the next moment his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Blood Seal"

"Su Xin, how could you have the Blood Fiend Mark on your body" Jiuxin Daozhu frowned.

"On the battlefield, after killing an opponent, he left me a dying message, 'The Thunder Isle token was also obtained from that person.'"

"You actually killed him" The Lord of Jiucheng looked at Su Xin with a hint of surprise, then solemnly said: "Su Xin, the crimson mark on your hand, if nothing unexpected happens, should be from the Blood Fiend Sect's Blood Fiend Mark."

"Blood Slaughter Sect" Su Xin showed a look of confusion.

The Blood Slaughter Sect, like the Nine Sacred Mountains and the Heavenly God Palace, is one of the seventeen top forces in the Eastern Wasteland. Although its overall strength may be slightly weaker than the Nine Sacred Mountains, the Blood Slaughter Sect also has a very deep foundation. Moreover, the territory where the Blood Slaughter Sect is located is right next to the Jiuxing Dao Lord's path on the periphery of the Qingxuan Domain.

"One of the top forces from the 17th Summit" Su Xin was surprised, "The one I killed was a strong member of the Blood Fiend Gate How could a strong member of the Blood Fiend Gate come to the Qingxuan Domain and join the Heavenly Palace camp to fight on the Qingxuan Battlefield"

"It's perfectly normal," said the Master of Jiucheng, "Within the territory controlled by the Blood Slaughter Gate, there exists another top-tier force. The two forces have clashed, but there hasn't been any large-scale warfare or bloodshed because those near the Qingxuan Realm, some powerful figures within the Blood Slaughter Gate chose to come to the Qingxuan Battlefield for training and to enhance their strength."

"And the one you killed should be a powerful figure from the Blood Slaughter Sect. Before he died, he left you a blood slaughter mark, which means your hands are stained with the blood of a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect!"

“This blood curse mark will have no effect on you. However, when you venture out in the future, as long as you encounter powerful members of the Blood Slaughter Sect, they will be able to immediately sense the existence of this blood curse mark on you and know that you have killed people from the Blood Slaughter Sect. These powerful members of the Blood Slaughter Sect will naturally harbor extreme hatred for you, and to a large extent, they will immediately take action to kill you.”

Su Xin's brows furrowed involuntarily.

The Nine Stars Dao Master continued, "Blood Slaughter Gate is different from Jiusheng Mountain. Jiusheng Mountain aims to fight against the Heavenly Palace, so it doesn't have too many restrictions on its members. As long as their cultivation reaches the Nirvana Realm, they can join Jiusheng Mountain as outer disciples. But Blood Slaughter Gate..."

"The Blood Fiend Sect follows an elite strategy. The number of members under their command is not large, but each one is a true powerhouse. Apart from those incomparably brilliant geniuses, they are generally Nirvana Venerables above the fourth step who can become formal members of the Blood Fiend Sect."

Su Xin was taken aback.

> Only those who have mastered four steps or more can become official members

No wonder Lord Jiu Chen was so surprised when he learned that he had killed a member of the Blood Slaughter Gate.

“The Blood Slaughter Gate, while not having many formal members, is incredibly united internally. Unlike my Nine Holy Mountains, which have numerous factions within, leading to intense internal competition. When venturing out into the world, if anyone kills a member of the Blood Slaughter Gate, it’s like poking a hornet's nest. Afterward, any powerful Blood Slaughter Gate members you encounter will try every means possible to kill you.”

"Therefore, in the Dong荒 region, few dared to provoke the Blood Slaughter Sect. But this time, you not only killed a powerful member of the Blood Slaughter Sect, but were also marked with their Blood Slaughter mark. This is a considerable trouble," said the Nine Stars Dao Master.

Su Xin's face turned grim.

Hearing what the Daoist Master of Nine Stars had to say, I was afraid that the trouble brought by this mark on my hand might be quite significant.

After all, it's one of the top seventeen forces.

Of course, you don't need to worry too much. After all, you don't have to venture into other territories for the time being. And within the Azure Mystic Domain, the Blood Fiend Sect powerhouses who roam the Azure Battlefield are probably only two or three, very few. It's not so easy to encounter them.

Furthermore, this blood curse mark is not impossible to remove," the Nine Star Dao Master chuckled.

"Master Dao, do you have a way to remove this mark" Su Xin asked.

"I don't have that capability, but those Transcendent powerhouses should be able to do it. You are the Sixth Mountain Master's disciple, finding a Transcendent powerhouse to easily help you clear the Blood煞 imprint shouldn't be difficult," said the Nine Stars Dao Master.

Su Xin couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

Soon, Su Xin arrived at the Sixth Sacred Mountain and found Jiuyuan.

"Jiu Yan, Senior Brother Su Xin shouted."

"Su Xin, your younger brother, you're back from the battlefield so soon" Jiu Yan smiled. "Did you have any gains on that battlefield"

"Harvesting is rewarding, but the trouble isn't small. Su Xin directly revealed the mark on her arm."

"Blood Fiend Mark" Jiuyuan immediately recognized the mark.

"Jiuyan Senior Brother, could you please take a look and see if you can remove this mark for me" Su Xin said.

I'll try clearing it with the Nine Rock.

Moments later, Jiu Yan frowned.

"Su Xin, my brother, this mark, I fear, cannot be cleared from Jiuyan Dao." Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

"Senior brother, you can't even clear this" Su Xin was astonished.

“Junior brother, you may not know this, but the Blood Fiend Mark of the Blood Fiend Gate also comes in three, six, and nine ranks. If it were an ordinary, low-level mark, I would naturally be able to remove it. But the mark on your hand... judging by its power, the person you killed was definitely someone with extremely high status within the Blood Fiend Gate, or someone with a special identity.”

For example, the offspring or disciples of a high-ranking member of the Blood Fiend Sect practice unique martial arts. It is said that they can forcefully devour people's blood and qi to enhance their cultivation or recover from injuries. Even Transcendent powerhouses cannot erase the Blood Fiend Mark left by such individuals with high status.

Of course, if the mountain master takes action, it will definitely be cleared. Su Xin, would you like to go with me to see the mountain master" Jiu Yan asked.

"No need," Su Xin shook his head.

But it was just a mark, representing only some potential threats. Suchuo wasn't bothered enough by this trivial matter to trouble his master for it.

Moreover, if someone who created their own problems comes back and asks their master to clean up after them, that would be rather childish.

After gaining a certain understanding of this blood curse mark, Su Xin also had a bottom line.

At most, this mark wouldn't affect his cultivation. It would only pose some potential threats. If he ever encounters strong members of the Blood Slaughter Gate in the future, he just needs to be more vigilant.

But as the Lord of Jiuxing said, this is the Qingxuan Domain. The Blood Fiend Gate's powerful figures who roam the Qingxuan Battlefield are only a few. It's not that easy to encounter them.

Moreover, even if you encountered him, wanting to kill him wouldn't be so easy.

After momentarily letting go of his worries, Su Xin immediately headed towards the Abyssal Realm.

…… holy lotus. However, he didn't expect someone to arrive around the same time. Apparently, this person's speed wasn't much slower than his when it came to a sudden burst.Just a four-step peak It seems...
