Chapter Sixteen: Inheritance

  "Huh?" Ximen Yan was taken aback, what's going on, why act like a dead man at this time?

  Suddenly, he felt something was off on top of his head, and the???? warned him. He saw a crimson blood arrow flying towards him from the rock wall, and Ximen Shuai was greatly shocked. Oh no, I forgot that this bastard still has a junior sister. Ximen Shuai had seen much and knew that although this blood arrow looked ordinary, it was actually crafted with the caster's heart and soul. Once touched by it, it would seep into his own bloodstream, and the consequences were too terrible to contemplate.

  A dead end friend is not a poor Dao, Ximen Shuai hastily used the Qiankun Circle to block the Blood Arrow. A stunning woman fell from the cliff, and due to the Blood Arrow being unable to be recalled, her cultivation was also somewhat damaged. Ximen Shuai sighed in his heart, the ancient sword had fallen asleep, and now even the Qiankun Circle was taking a nap. Although this woman's cultivation was only slightly stronger than Lin Fan's, she was from the Blood Shadow Sect, and the various sects' evil door treasures and techniques were endless.

  Take another look at Lin Fan, who is still maintaining the state of a corpse on that side, obviously not wanting to participate in this battle. Ximen Shuai's heart moved, and he took out the ruby: "Blood Night Stone, you thief...!"

  Ximen Commander corrected: "I'm just using their own way to return it to them. This Blood Jade Stone was also obtained by you after ambushing the Northern Sea True Person."

  "Hmph!" The woman prepared to make her move.

  Ximen Shuai swung his arm, and the Blood Glowing Stone flew out, landing beside Lin Fan. He then smiled and said, "The green hills remain unchanged, the clear waters flow forever." With that, he floated away.

  The old man, Lin Fan made a decisive move, grabbed the blood jade stone by his side and ran. The woman spat out a mouthful of blood, which flew to Lin Fan's side. Lin Fan was shocked, and with a prepared talisman in hand, he shouted: "Immobolizing Talisman."

  This restraint charm is too low-end, mainly used for ghosts and ordinary people, it has little effect on cultivators. However, in one situation its effect is enormous. For example, just now when the man was casting a spell, a restraint charm stuck on him could forcibly interrupt his spellcasting process. The woman stabilized herself, then reached out to grab Lin Fan. Lin Fan had a talisman stuck on himself, covering his entire body with a layer of rock, but the woman broke through the rock with one hand, Lin Fan bitterly smiled, isn't this too ruthless?

  She flicked her finger and threw the Blood Jade Stone away. The woman grabbed another handful, but Lin Fan's other hand had already changed positions with a stone. The woman struck empty air, didn't dare to play games with Lin Fan again, turned around and pounced on the Blood Jade Stone. Ximen Commander hadn't run far, Lin Fan threw out the Blood Jade Stone, he appeared in an instant, catching the Blood Jade Stone in one hand.

  Ximen Shuai apparently understood the Blood Shadow Sect very well, knowing that the Blood Escape Technique had a time limit. Now that he had opened up some distance, Ximen Shuai easily took away the Blood Yao Stone and floated upwards: "Little Daoist friend, thank you."

  "You're welcome." Lin Fan ran away.

  The woman was just about to pursue again when a voice came from the sky, apparently because no one was in charge of the formation, the pursuing soldiers had broken through the formation and chased after her. The woman had no choice but to abandon Ximen Shuai and flee by force.

  Ximen Shuai had already run far away, laughing and proud of his quick wit earlier. He took out the Blood Jade Stone, but suddenly a cold sweat broke out as he circulated his true energy to refine it. The Blood Jade Stone in his hand turned into a small stone. Ximen Shuai went crazy, realizing that he had been deceived by an elementary Obfuscation Technique. A genius who appears only once every three thousand years was actually deceived by an Obfuscation Technique? This must be a misunderstanding... but this really is just a stone. Ximen Shuai gritted his teeth and said in the direction where Lin Fan had disappeared: "The green hills remain unchanged, the clear waters flow forever."

  Lin Fan flew back to Lianhua Mountain, took out the Blood Jade Stone and looked at it left and right. What is this thing used for? The true energy couldn't be urged in, facing the sun, there was a drop of fresh blood moving inside the jade stone. He raised the rock and smashed it towards the Blood Jade Stone, but the Blood Jade Stone didn't move at all. Lin Fan shouted on Lianhua Mountain: "Everyone take a look, what is this thing?"

  Ye Wushuang and Gu Yan took a look, shook their heads, Bai Mu looked for a while: "Is this the Blood Jade Stone?" Qingyuan Sect's disciples don't go out but know everything under heaven.

  Lin Fan asked while drinking water: "What is a Blood Moon Stone?"

  "Legend has it that when heaven and earth first opened..."

  Lin Fan: "Get straight to the point."

  Bai Miao nodded: "There are five Yaoke stones in total, which should be called Key Stones. It is said that they are essential for opening a certain place. In addition to the Blood Yaoke Stone, there are also the Sun Yaoke Stone, Star Yaoke Stone, Moon Yaoke Stone, and Water Yaoke Stone. The Blood Yaoke Stone has always been the treasure of the Xueying Sect. Three hundred years ago, during the Great War of Evil Dao, records show that the Beihai Sect killed the protector of the Xueying Sect's treasure, but it is unclear whether they obtained the Blood Yaoke Stone. However, there are suspicions in the records. The Moon Yaoke Stone among the five Yaoke Stones is the treasure of the Demon Sect, and the other three have been lost. The seventh generation of the Demon Lord once closed himself off for three years to try to refine the Moon Yaoke Stone, but ultimately failed. Therefore, it is recorded that the five Yaoke Stones cannot be refined, they are just keys. However, the Demon Sect has been searching for the other four Yaoke Stones for a thousand years, hoping to solve the mystery after obtaining all five."

  Gu Yan was surprised by the sudden appearance of the Blood Jade, and said: "I think this thing should be handed over to the sect immediately. Lin Fan, where did this come from?"

  "Fighting at Yunfeng Peak was chaotic, the Blood Shadow Sect's evil people were coming and going, I just gave him a hit, then picked up this Blood Yao Stone." Lin Fan was too lazy to explain something so complicated.

  Bai Mu wondered: "Why would a Blood Shadow Sect member bring the Blood Nightstone to Xiao Dongzhou?"

  Lin Fan said: "I heard they killed the Northern Sea True Person and obtained the Blood Glazed Stone."

  "Oh, Bei Hai Zhen Ren has been at Tianyin Temple in Xiaodongzhou for half a year." The evil sect snatched the Blood Night Stone and encountered a treasure born, so they thought to take advantage of the situation, but didn't expect to be foiled by Ximen Shuai and Lin Fan.

  Gu Yan asked: "Why did the True Man of North Sea stay in the Buddhist temple for so long?"

  "The former Northern Sea True Person is dead, and the current one is the son of the former leader. He has poor qualifications and is infatuated with women, so he was expelled by the Northern Sea Sect. The father of the Northern Sea True Person, who is also the former leader of the Northern Sea Sect and the abbot of the Heavenly Sound Temple, has a private relationship with me. I think this is why the Northern Sea True Person went to the Heavenly Sound Temple." White Pastor replied.

  Ye Wushuang said: "How can there still be a door-to-door inheritance now?"

  The father passes it on to the son, which is a common practice, but the Xiu Zhen Men saw the drawbacks soon enough. The father is a hero, while the son is a good-for-nothing, this kind of thing happens too often. Therefore, most Xiu Zhen Men choose their leader from among the best disciples. Yun Qing Shan still has the hidden immortal sect elder, if everyone thinks that the leader must step down, the elders will come out and make a public judgment. As the leader, one cannot have direct disciples, and is in a position of having power but no influence.

  But many Xianmen sects still rely on inheritance to pass down, and if the talent is not good enough, everyone can tolerate it. However, if someone is extremely stupid or lustful for women, violent, etc., that's a big taboo. There are also some successors who are prone to troublemaking, relying on power, bullying men and women. Morality cannot be inherited. But it's also a double-edged sword. Once the sect has a worthy successor, they will quickly rise to prominence. The reason is that parents will leave everything to their children, but masters won't leave everything to their disciples, at least not just one disciple. Discord among disciples is also a source of internal strife.
