"..."
Upon hearing this, Qu Yang's lips twitched, but he ultimately refrained from speaking.
He clearly offered a suggestion back then.
It is not difficult to see from Han Yi's past experiences that although he is ruthless, he is grateful and values his promises.
If we could take advantage of their deep-seated enmity with Yuanmiaozong and offer them timely assistance...
It will definitely bring huge and generous returns.
Unfortunately... Liu Quan scoffed at the idea and decisively rejected the plan...
Qu Yang suppressed his emotions, stopped his inner grumbling, and comforted and persuaded him. "The number of people with hidden blood is extremely rare. I haven't heard of one in decades. People like Han Yi, who have bloodlines and also cultivate true skills... such a rapid rise, most people would only consider that this person has outstanding talent and extraordinary aptitude, and would not consider the possibility of hidden blood."
From an external perspective, ordinary people cannot distinguish the characteristics of people with occult blood, and may not even have heard of them.
Being born with superhuman strength is simply a matter of being extra strong.
With a body of copper and iron, it is more resistant to blows and beatings.
Light as a feather, with a fast movement speed.
Let alone those with hidden bloodlines, even some martial artists who cultivate specific techniques can achieve this effect.
Ordinary people simply cannot tell whether this is a manifestation of martial arts cultivation or an innate ability.
This is why the two of them suspected that Han Yi was actually a hidden bloodline user.
Those with hidden bloodlines possess formidable combat power even without cultivation, combining martial arts and bloodline training merely as a means of concealment.
“Just one move short… just one step away…” Liu Quan looked out the window at the sweltering heat, his face full of regret.
Others may not be able to distinguish the characteristics of someone with occult blood.
However, Liu Quan, as Tantai Sheng's trusted general and the governor of Yunzhou, had deep connections and naturally had special methods.
"What?" Qu Yang was taken aback. "Does Your Excellency have a way to find it?"
For martial artists, becoming stronger and improving their strength requires training year after year.
Bloodline cultivation also requires a series of processes, such as finding ways to increase bloodline concentration, purify bloodline, and awaken bloodline.
Those with hidden bloodlines are different; they do not rely on external forces, nor do they need to cultivate. Their strength gradually reaches its peak with age. Martial arts techniques and bloodline secrets are merely supplements for them.
Born divine, born powerful. This is the fundamental difference between those with hidden bloodlines and others.
Those with hidden blood can enter the ranks of the world's top experts even by simply practicing martial arts.
Such extraordinary beings are naturally coveted and dream of becoming disciples of major powers.
But why is there a "hidden" in "hidden blood"?
Because the appearance of people with occult blood is unpredictable and without any distinguishing features, they are extremely difficult to detect unless they choose not to speak up, making them highly concealed.
At most, unusual phenomena may occur occasionally during the mother's pregnancy.
It could be a dragon entering the belly, a divine bird mating, or a god descending to earth.
Some were even born amidst a red glow surrounding the room and a strange fragrance that lingered all night.
As such.
but.
How do these stories differ from the absurd tales told by traveling merchants?
Besides, even if someone did go there based on the rumors...
It turned out to be nothing but an empty dream.
Dreams are... bizarre and wonderful; you can dream about anything.
Too much subjectivity.
Instead, it confused everyone, making it impossible to find the real hidden bloodline holder.
"What can be done..." Liu Quan gazed quietly out the window, lost in thought.
Outside the window in the courtyard, the scorching sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
Large numbers of flowers and plants wilted and couldn't stand up straight because of the heat.
In the endless heat, even the cicadas' chirping was intermittent, as if they had lost their strength. In the distance, on the horizon...
The direction of Yuanmiaozong.
A massive red light, like a volcano, continuously radiated astonishing heat outwards.
Waves of heat swept outwards and spread in all directions.
Suddenly.
Liu Quan felt waves of dizziness, as if the world was spinning, and it was as if a pair of invisible hands were tightly gripping his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He knows that feeling.
This feeling is called fear...
An unprecedented shadow of fear spread throughout my mind and body.
This finally brought him back to reality from the illusion of being in control of everything.
The highest level of vigilance of the Yuanmiao Sect means that no matter what method he uses... external or internal, he cannot make any small move.
He didn't know what he could do, nor did he know what Yuanmiaozong wanted to do.
All external communication was cut off, and security measures became increasingly stringent…
He could only stay in this small courtyard, like a small insect trapped in a fire, at any moment he could be burned alive.
There is no escape.
They could only wait for the final judgment, like helpless mortals.
“No… I don’t accept it…” Liu Quan muttered to himself, his expression grim, fear flickering in his eyes, his body swaying precariously.
"My lord? My lord?" Qu Yang noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to support him, bringing a chair over.
"Are you alright?" Qu Yang helped Liu Quan sit down in a chair, asking with concern. "..." Liu Quan's face was deathly pale. As if making a decision, she slowly raised her head and looked directly at Qu Yang. "There's something... I need to ask you..."
"Please speak, sir!" Qu Yang's expression turned serious as he saw the solemnity in the man's tone. "Anything I can do... I will spare no effort!!"
"Hehe..." Liu Quan's voice was soft and husky, "You...you can definitely do it...it's actually very simple..."
His voice grew softer and softer, forcing Qu Yang to bend down and listen attentively.
puff!
Qu Yang stared blankly down at the new bloody hole in his chest.
“I’m willing to die for you… You said it yourself…” Liu Quan’s voice was strange, with a hint of evil. “Since you’ve chosen to help me… then I’ll grant your wish…” A ball of red light appeared in his hand, which he plunged deep into Qu Yang’s chest and wouldn’t let go.
At this moment, Liu Quan's face was deathly pale, without a trace of color, as if he had applied layer upon layer of powder.
So white and reflective that it was dazzling, like an actor performing on stage.
"you…..."
Qu Yang covered the bloody hole, his expression changed drastically, and he tried to get away, but the five fingers seemed to be stuck to his chest and abdomen, and he could not move.
A powerful suction force swept in like a flood.
Qu Yang felt no pain, but he was completely powerless, like a deflated balloon, and his body shriveled up in the blink of an eye.
After a few breaths, a lifelike human skin was left behind on the spot.
"The position of governor... is now in your hands, which will fulfill your wish..." Liu Quan's eyes were bloodshot as he slowly withdrew his hand.
He held a pair of palm-sized, blood-red willow-leaf darts in his hand.
The tip of the dart was inlaid with a jet-black bead that blinked like a living eye.
The red light emanates continuously from the beads.
laugh…...
With a swift grab, Liu Quan sent the human skin flying, hovering in mid-air like a piece of drawing paper.
Swish swish!
Rather than throwing darts, he was more like holding a calligraphy brush, creating paintings on human skin with flowing strokes.
With a few strokes, the human skin gradually changed its appearance.
Her appearance, figure, height... she even bears a striking resemblance to Liu Quan.
Then he made a hand seal, muttered some incantations, and pointed with his finger.
Suddenly, a large red light emerged from the dart, surging towards the human skin like a blood mist, instantly merging into the body and disappearing.
The human skin trembled and quivered, slowly inflating like a balloon.
After a while.
The human skin seemed to gain weight, and with a thud, it fell from the sky and stood upright on the ground.
At a glance.
It's as if Liu Quan has gained a twin brother.
Apart from being a little paler and having closed eyes, there was no other difference.
"What a pity. If only we could find Han Yi..."
Although Liu Quan was very satisfied with his work, he still had some regrets.
His bloodline weapon can not only identify those with hidden bloodlines, but can even absorb their abilities and replenish itself.
Liu Quan, holding a high position of power, naturally possessed many secrets about those with hidden bloodlines.
The stories of ghosts and gods told by ordinary people, such as "a true dragon descends to earth" and "a god appears in a dream," are not all false.
At the very least, what's placed on those with hidden bloodlines has a certain degree of authenticity.
Every hidden bloodline is a darling of heaven and earth, a unique existence in the world.
It is something that every cultivator can only dream of, a blood-dissolving secret technique that can never be formed by refining the essence of demonic beasts.
No one knows when the first Hidden Blood appeared.
But it is said that the birth of martial arts and the emergence of bloodline families... are all closely related to the Hidden Bloodline.
Some believe that those with hidden blood are favored by heaven and earth, reincarnations of immortals and gods, and chosen ones of destiny. Others believe that those with hidden blood are true dragons descended to earth, or divine phoenixes awakened, thus possessing extraordinary abilities from birth.
"If only there were no Hidden Blood People in this world..." Liu Quan sighed and wiped his face.
His facial muscles twitched, his body transformed, and he quickly became the likeness of Qu Yang.
Great chaos is always preceded by omens.
The appearance of the Hidden Blood... is one of the spontaneous signs that the world is facing a great calamity and is about to descend into chaos.
Those with hidden blood... the beginning of chaos...
This is Liu Quan's viewpoint.
He turned around and slowly walked towards the door.
Then the fleshy human skin suddenly opened its eyes wide, expressionless, and walked step by step toward the main seat in the room.
……………
……………
Roll, roll, roll.
The wheels of the overturned road rolled and turned, and the bluish-white official road meandered forward, with countless forks branching out like tree branches, extending to the surrounding villages, towns and even cities.
"The next stretch of road... has two options..."
In the last black carriage of the convoy, inside the spacious cabin, everyone followed Zhong Han's finger and carefully examined the map.
