Dragon King Hall's Legend

Chapter 1788 1788: Scheming! Laying Out the Ground Rules! Can the Demon Blood Be Taken?

Mu Jinyu heard Kong Xi's words, smiled, and said, "Senior Kong is joking. Since the Life and Death Creation Pool has such wonderful uses, even though I am a pureblooded human, it won't be completely useless to me. Why wouldn't I compete for it?"

"Moreover, even if I don't compete, aren't you afraid that I'll spread this information everywhere after leaving the Tiangan Secret Realm?"

"So I really appreciate you telling me this."

Mu Jinyu genuinely said.

"Haha..."

Kong Xi's ordinary and indifferent face suddenly broke into a smile, and he said, "I don't mind if you compete for it. I'm not afraid of not getting this opportunity in the end. As for you spreading the information chaotically after going out, that doesn't concern me. I've already obtained further opportunities through the Life and Death Creation Pool, and whoever fights for a spot later doesn't matter to me."

"But as for you, if you scatter this information recklessly, be careful of any danger you might encounter."

Kong Xi cheerfully spoke, completely unconcerned about Mu Jinyu's words.

After all, he is confident about obtaining a chance for one soak in the Life and Death Creation Pool, and won't need to specifically fight for a place to enter afterward. What should he care about?

Mu Jinyu felt speechless upon hearing Kong Xi's words.

He originally thought Kong Xi was a kind-hearted senior who took care of younger students and wasn't very talkative.

Who would have known that beneath his solemn face lay a scheming heart, and he had quite a sense of humor.

Shaking his head slightly, Mu Jinyu's gratitude toward Kong Xi wasn't as strong, therefore he asked, "Since that's the case, is there any help that Senior Kong needs from me for sharing this information?"

He understood; Kong Xi must need his assistance for something, that's why he spent considerable time talking to him, revealing these insider details, otherwise, he would have settled that royal descendant and directly left.

"Smart!"

Kong Xi laughed, "I told you so much, indeed I need you to help."

"Help with what?" Mu Jinyu asked.

Kong Xi replied, "Clear some people out. Too many have entered the Tiangan Secret Realm. Otherwise, when it's time for those qualified to bathe in the Life and Death Creation Pool, they'll be affected, so it's necessary to clean them out beforehand!"

"Oh, so Senior doesn't seek other advanced-level students to join forces for fear that they'd split the spots, and you might not get one for bathing, so you came to ally with me because I'm a pureblooded human with decent strength, is that right?"

"Yes, after all, I don't want to clear out students from Dongyue Mansion, we're all classmates, and teaming up with them would inevitably mean more competitors later, so partnering with you is most suitable," Kong Xi replied.

Mu Jinyu pondered, then said, "What advantages do I get for taking such risks to help you?"

If Kong Xi hadn't spoken frankly, Mu Jinyu might have felt grateful for his openness and agreed to his request right away.

He wouldn't say this, but since Kong Xi laid things out, Mu Jinyu found it normal to propose conditions.

Sure enough, Kong Xi didn't mind, laughed, "The items in the Qiankun Ring of those people we clear, we'll split equally, and you can attempt to soak in the Life and Death Creation Pool, see if you can refine and absorb, which might benefit your body..."

Mu Jinyu was certainly planning to check out the Life and Death Creation Pool, he laughed, "Then if, by chance, I absorb all of your shares of the pool water, what will happen?"

He was thinking of the seed from the Mystical Little Tree.

Back on Earth, the seed from the Mystical Little Tree was relatively plump, nearly ready to sprout, relying on the Dragon Marrow Immortal Spring to fully sprout and grow.

At present, though the Mystical Little Tree's seed was depleted in Life Force, the Life and Death Creation Pool, formed by numerous Life and Death Law fragments, might enable it to fully sprout upon absorbing enough Creation Pool water, returning to its original sapling state?

If that's the case, he must compete for it, even seize the entire share of the pool water.

That's why he spoke frankly to Kong Xi first.

Kong Xi, hearing Mu Jinyu's words, didn't mind and laughed, "The Life and Death Creation Pool isn't as easy to refine and absorb as you think. If you truly manage to monopolize all the share of pool water, I'm fine with it, I'll just wait another ten years. Anyway, whether I break through the Void Breaking Realm to the Life and Death Realm within ten years is uncertain!"

He was quite open-minded.

"Alright, since that's the case, I agree to ally with you."

Mu Jinyu nodded in agreement, then added, "However, when encountering those imperial descendants, can we refrain from acting first, and see if they make the first move?"

"Why?" Kong Xi asked, slanting his eyes at Mu Jinyu. "Feeling soft-hearted, if others don't fight, you hesitate to engage?"

Mu Jinyu said, "I still dislike killing people for no reason, but if they strike first, I have no psychological burden. Just like you, Senior, are reluctant to harm the students from Dongyue Mansion; we all have some principles, as we're still human."

"Hmm, a good point about still being humans, I agree with you."

Kong Xi's solemn face broke into a bright smile, laughing, "Truthfully, I'm also reluctant to attack people over some trivial things. Your temperament suits my taste quite well."

"Hmm." Mu Jinyu nodded, glanced at the body of the imperial descendant on the ground, "Let's distribute the items in the Qiankun Ring."

"Alright." Kong Xi agreed, then destroyed the Qiankun Ring, pouring out all the items from within, simultaneously saying, "Actually, don't expect too much. Everyone knew they might die upon entering the Tiangan Secret Realm and wouldn't bring valuable items in."

Just as expected.

The items in this imperial descendant's Qiankun Ring truly amounted to nothing much, mostly just source stones and other materials.

Mu Jinyu and Kong Xi then divided them, Kong Xi said, "Let's go, continue to roam around, find targets!"

Mu Jinyu asked, "Senior, is the Life and Death Creation Pool not yet open, hence your leisure to hunt in the outskirts?"

"Yes, that's correct," Kong Xi replied, "If we start clearing people near the Life and Death Creation Pool, those imperial descendants will team up, while several clans with marriage ties would unite against us. So, it's best to deal with lone imperial descendants in the outskirts before the creation pool opens."

"I see..." Mu Jinyu nodded, his gaze never leaving the downed bisected corpse on the ground, and when Kong Xi prepared to leave, he finally said, "Senior Kong, may I extract the Demon Blood from its body?"

"Demon Blood? What do you want it for?" Kong Xi paused his steps, turned back, and looked at Mu Jinyu with curiosity.

Mu Jinyu smiled casually and replied, "To research. In case we encounter pureblooded demon clans, maybe we'll find ways to counter them."
