Chapter 631 - 41: Struggle Between Dragon and Phoenix

If it weren’t for Ning Sujin’s divination of seeking fortune and avoiding evil, the current situation would have surely left Li Ji’an in panic.

His first thought would undoubtedly be to escape.

However, having already fallen into the trap, with the grand array covering and the Blood Fiend locking in, even the teleportation talisman fails to work, making escape nearly impossible.

The next option would only be to launch a surprise attack.

Using the invisibility puppet to scheme in the dark would certainly pose a threat to the Blood Spirit Holy Mother, but after experiencing her aura up close, her strength is not much lesser than a True Monarch. Even if the surprise attack succeeds, it would be difficult to truly eliminate her.

Given her power, as long as she is not killed by a single blow, Li Ji’an faces a high risk of death.

Thus, neither path is viable.

This forces Li Ji’an to reconsider whether Ning Sujin’s omen of seeking fortune and avoiding evil will manifest at the precise moment of joining forces with the Blood Spirit Holy Mother at the hundred-year node.

With this conjecture, Li Ji’an’s mindset becomes more stable, not engaging in pointless internal strife.

Except for occasionally dealing with romantic advances from the Blood Spirit Holy Mother, he spends the rest of his time cultivating routinely.

The Blood Spirit Holy Mother is quite attentive to his cultivation, sharing her Core Formation early period experiences and gifting him many pill medicines and spiritual talent.

Three years slipped by quickly.

It’s worth mentioning that during these three years, due to the presence of the Blood Spirit Holy Mother, Li Ji’an devoted almost all his energy to refining magical power, moving faster than his ten years in the Biyun Sect.

Meanwhile, during the three years, he maintained constant communication with Xiao Changfeng. After returning to the sect, he guarded Biyun Sect with Yun Yao, ensuring the sect is safe.

On this day, the Blood Spirit Holy Mother arrived in glorious attire.

The Blood Spirit Maiden accompanied her.

"Li Lang, today I bring you a grand gift," the Blood Spirit Holy Mother said with a mysterious smile after a moment of feigned sincerity.

Li Ji’an felt his heart stir, knowing the hundred-year node had arrived, the moment for her true intentions to reveal had come.

"Xue’Er, why so courteous? In these three years, I am already content," Li Ji’an responded with a modest smile.

"As my beloved, how could it be otherwise? Blood Kite, come here." As she spoke, the Blood Spirit Holy Mother gestured, and the Blood Kite swiftly stepped forward.

"Li Lang, Blood Kite had encounters with you in the past, even acting disrespectfully, as it confesses. Today is the time for amends."

Li Ji’an looked at Blood Kite, slightly raising his eyebrow, "Hehe, Xue’Er, am I someone to bear grudges? Moreover, the Saintess didn’t deal a lethal blow back then; otherwise, how could there be the fortune with Xue’Er today?"

"Li Lang truly possesses a kind heart and noble character." The Blood Spirit Holy Mother chuckled alluringly.

"Thank you for your magnanimity." Blood Kite slightly bowed as well.

The Blood Spirit Holy Mother’s smile faded as she beckoned Blood Kite, placing a hand on her shoulder before addressing Li Ji’an, "Although Li Lang is benevolent in heart, she must still pay a price today for offending you."

"I’m doing this for Li Lang’s benefit."

Li Ji’an became even more puzzled, "How does Xue’Er intend to proceed?"

The Blood Spirit Holy Mother smiled broadly, "Back at the Dragon Burial Cave, this girl not only escaped a disaster but also received some fortune by absorbing True Dragon Blood Fiend.

Although True Dragon Blood Fiend is merely a manifestation of True Dragon Essence Blood, it cannot compare to the latter, but it is indeed a Supreme Yang Object and wasted within her body.

Moreover, I’ve sensed that you, Li Lang, have a faint presence of Blood Evil Qi within you, likely absorbed unintentionally back at the Dragon Burial Cave.

The effect in your body is several times more beneficial than within this girl.

Today, she will transfer all her Blood Fiend to you."

"Holy Mother!" Blood Kite exclaimed in shock, pleading for mercy instantly.

If her Blood Fiend is entirely gone, although it wouldn’t be life-threatening, she would certainly experience a long period of weakness, and her cultivation would decrease.

"Hmm?" The Blood Spirit Holy Mother’s previously smiling demeanor towards Li Ji’an vanished as she sternly gazed at Blood Kite, exuding the majesty of a Holy Mother.

Blood Kite shivered instinctively, not daring to meet her gaze.

The Blood Spirit Holy Mother satisfied turned back with a radiant smile towards Li Ji’an, "Li Lang, Blood Kite still retains her Primordial Yin, you can fully enjoy it."

The True Dragon Blood Fiend absorbed within Blood Kite had long integrated with her Primordial Yin, and for extracting all the Blood Fiend, dual cultivation absorption was necessity.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Li Ji’an involuntarily glanced at Blood Kite.

Compared to the Blood Spirit Holy Mother’s lingering allure, Blood Kite was more youthful and vibrant.

However, as he looked at Blood Kite this moment, he pondered the Blood Spirit Holy Mother’s intentions.

According to the previous investigation, the Blood Spirit Holy Mother and her lover would spend seven days and nights secluded during each hundred-year node, afterwards retreating for three months, which then led to the disappearance of the Saintess.

This time, clearly differs from before.

"Is it due to the True Dragon Blood Fiend?"

The Blood Spirit Holy Mother declared, and Blood Kite dared not defy.

Additionally, she had long admired Li Ji’an, realizing he had ten bottles of True Dragon Blood Fiend, indicating future replenishment was possible.

Thus, under the Blood Spirit Holy Mother’s instruction, Blood Kite slowly approached Li Ji’an.

Moreover, as she drew closer step by step, her bloodred robes fell piece by piece.

When they came face to face, Blood Kite was completely sincere.

"Li Lang, feel assured to enjoy, this girl will cooperate fully." The Blood Spirit Holy Mother said with another smile.

"Please, my friend..." Blood Kite--------

Until nightfall, in the spirit pool, the two achieved perfect harmony...

The True Dragon Blood Fiend within Blood Kite was completely absorbed by Li Ji’an.

Visibly, with the Primordial Yin... Li Ji’an’s body began to emit a faint red Blood Fiend aura.
