Chapter 1426: The Mystery of the Blood

“Ahhh…” The Blood Tribe fugitive clutched at his heart with an agonized expression.

At the same time, his vitality was quickly flowing away.

An Lin had a bad feeling upon seeing this. It looked like his blood was unbearable to Return to Void Intermediate Stage cultivators?

The Blood Tribe fugitive was still struggling. His ecstasy and bliss had now completely given way to excruciating agony.

The other Return to Void Intermediate Stage mighty figures were also getting scared upon seeing this.

They weren’t scared of the pain. They were much more terrified about the prospect of never being able to taste the holy blood again!

“You can do it! Persevere through this!”

Some of the Blood Tribe mighty figures were already cheering the fugitive on.

The Blood Tribe fugitive clutched at his heart, which was now glowing with a strange red light.

All of a sudden, the red light became extremely dazzling.

When the red light dissipated, the fugitive was revealed with his eyes and mouth wide open, and his body completely shriveled and lifeless.

“He’s dead?” Cassidy shed tears of grief.

“Am I unable to taste the holy blood again?” Tears also welled up in Merlin’s eyes. He was so depressed that he wanted to die.

All of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage Blood Tribe mighty figures were extremely distraught upon witnessing the death of the Blood Tribe fugitive.

Ada finally understood why An Lin was telling them his blood was dangerous. At the same time, they were quite elated. Didn’t this mean that they would have significantly fewer competitors clambering for the Holy Leader’s blood?

Ada, Jin Ling, and Jin Yao seemed to have all realized this at the same time, and they smiled elatedly.

An Lin offered words of comfort, “Don’t be too depressed. Just attain your divine dao and break through to the Return to Void Final Stage. You can make this your target, and all of you will be able to taste my holy blood when that time comes!”

All of the Blood Tribe mighty figures finally recovered some of their morale upon hearing this.

Cassidy and Merlin were both at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage, and they had never been more motivated in their entire lives!

“Holy Leader, we’ll be sure to do our absolute best!” Cassidy spoke with a firm expression. She was going to do her best to suck him dry!

An Lin nodded with a faint smile. “Alright, you guys take a rest. I still have to apply for your legal citizenship at the Kingdom of the Nine States with the Celestial Thearch.”

He then added with a stern expression, “By the way, none of you are allowed to suck the blood of other innocent living beings here. If something like that happens, I’ll execute you on the spot.”

Tobias was confused. “Why would we eat sh*t?”

An Lin: “…”

After tasting An Lin’s blood, the blood of other living beings was no different to sh*t.

An Lin’s lips twitched upon hearing this, but at the same time, he was quite reassured by their reaction.

He returned to his living quarters before pulling out Xue Mengmeng from his storage ring.

“Master, why didn’t you let me meet those little rascals?” Xue Mengmeng wobbled its head around as it spoke. “They have yet to be won over by my greatness.”

An Lin rolled his eyes. “Alright, now’s not the time to flex. I only released you now to discuss some matters about my blood.”

Xue Mengmeng’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement at the mention of blood.

Even though it didn’t have eyes, its two eye sockets glowed with red light, which was actually a little adorable.

“Sure! I’d love to discuss Master’s blood! You can talk about anything you want with me. It would be perfect if you could reward me with a few drops of blood!” Xue Mengmeng was ecstatic.

“That would depend on your performance.” An Lin did not refuse. “What do you think my blood is?”

Xue Mengmeng raised its arms to the sky. “Your blood is light, your blood is the future, your blood is the true meaning of life!”

An Lin’s expression darkened. “Quit sucking up to me! I want to hear some useful information! I’m just an ordinary cultivator, how did I end up with such powerful blood?”

The reason why he was asking Xue Mengmeng was that Xue Mengmeng was the skeleton of the Blood Patriarch, who would’ve been much more knowledgeable about blood and life than the average Blood Tribe mighty figure!

“Hmm…” Xue Mengmeng tapped its skulls with a contemplative expression.

“You’re an ordinary cultivator? Are you f*cking kidding me?” Xue Mengmeng said, “Give me another drop of your blood to drink, and I’ll analyze it.”

An Lin: “…”

Regardless of whether Xue Mengmeng was just trying to swindle blood from him, An Lin still gave it a drop of his blood.

Xue Mengmeng immediately pounced on it like a starving wolf, making sounds of bliss and satisfaction in the process.

After a while, it smacked its lips and delivered its analysis.

“Master, how are you an ordinary cultivator? Your blood is the purest among all living beings I’ve ever seen. You’re not a living being that belongs to this world!

“I can glean the true meaning of life from drinking your blood! If our Blood Tribe wants to rise to even greater heights and continue to evolve, we need to make your blood our target and direction!”

“Give me something useful!” An Lin yelled in a stern voice.

Xue Mengmeng shuddered before nodding its head. “I can think of two reasons why your blood could be so perfect. Firstly, you must have a special constitution that makes you very intimate with the Heavenly Dao from birth. If I’m not mistaken, it should be the Tian Ming Dao Physique, right?”

An Lin’s heart jolted with shock, but he still maintained a calm smile. “I didn’t think that you would know so much…”

Xue Mengmeng gave an honest reply as he said, “Well, I may only be a skeleton, but I’ve inherited some of the Blood Patriarch’s knowledge and experiences.”

An Lin nodded. “Please continue.”

“The Tian Ming Dao Physique makes one very close to the Heavenly Dao, and all living beings with this constitution possess extremely pure blood. On top of that, it makes cultivation extremely easy, so it’s no exaggeration to refer to it as the blood of the Heavenly Dao… Blood of this type is extremely good but not quite perfect.”

Xue Mengmeng looked at An Lin with a scorching light in its eye sockets. “Hence, I’m speculating that you have another type of power outside of my understanding within your body.

“It can continue to improve your body and make your blood even more perfect than it originally was! Actually, it’s making your entire body more perfect, not just your blood!”

An Lin understood now.

His natural constitution had been further perfected by the system, thereby resulting in his current body.

“Is this a blessing or a curse?” An Lin muttered to himself.

Xue Mengmeng was extremely excited. “If this is a curse, then let me take it! A body of such outrageous perfection is something I’ve been searching for my entire life! Don’t take such vast fortune for granted!”

An Lin’s lips twitched upon hearing this.

Vast fortune my f*cking a*s!

This was just his accursed system!

“Alright, if this really is a curse, then I’ll be offloading it onto you.” An Lin chuckled. “It’s a promise.”

“What are you saying, Master?” Xue Mengmeng was perplexed.

An Lin didn’t say anything before putting Xue Mengmeng back into his storage ring.

At the same time, he made a decision.

If he ever figured out how to transfer the system someday, he would offload it to Xue Mengmeng first!
