Chapter 665: The Arrival of the Underlings

Many of the students were already prepared, and they unleashed all types of defensive spell techniques at the exact moment the explosion took place.

Furthermore, they were at the very edge of the explosion, so there was much of a shockwave for them to contend with.

An Lin was scared sh*tless as he was situated at the center of the explosion. Thankfully, he had his Chaotic Alloy Brick and his quick reflexes, and he immediately hid behind his black brick during the explosion.

The devastating explosion came quickly and went quickly as well.

When everyone turned their eyes on the battlefield again, the mushroom cloud had already been dispelled by a spell technique from Xuanyuan Cheng.

His handsome face had been stained black, and he coughed as he made his way toward An Lin with his white robe in tattered ribbons and an expression of concern on his face. “Are you alright, Classmate An Lin?”

An Lin poked his head out from behind the brick, and his face had been slightly blackened as well, but he remained unscathed.

He shook his head. “I’m fine. Are you alright, Big Brother Cheng?”

Xuanyuan Cheng shook his head with a smile. “I can still fight!”

An Lin’s face convulsed upon hearing this. “You still want to fight?”

“Cough cough cough…” A coughing sound suddenly erupted from nearby.

An Lin and Xuanyuan Cheng were both startled by this as they turned their eyes on the area about a dozen meters away from them before abruptly discovering three unidentified red-robed people sprawled out on the ground.

“Who are you?!” An Lin immediately pulled out his Evil-Slaying Sword at the sight of the unidentified red-robed figures.

He then suddenly felt a certain connection between them and himself. He had been too tensed up in the heat of battle to detect this connection, but he could now feel that these three figures were bound to him by contracts!

“It’s me, Holy Leader!” A disheveled yet still exquisitely beautiful woman stood up with a sheepish smile as she dusted herself off.

“Long time no see, Holy Leader. Fancy meeting you here!” Merlin extended a greeting with a smile.

“Yeah, what a coincidence, Holy Leader! Thank you for welcoming us with that splendid fireworks display!” Tobias chuckled awkwardly.

An Lin: “Why are you guys here?”

…

The arrival of the three slaves put a premature end to the sparring match.

Within the main courtyard of Huang Quan City, Da Bai, Xiao Chou, Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, and the others all gathered around the three Blood Tribe mighty figures with curiosity and excitement on their faces.

“You’re the Blood Tribe cultivators who signed slave contracts with An Lin?” Xu Xiaolan sized up the three Blood Tribe mighty figures with a faint hint of prestige and majesty glowing in her eyes.

“That’s right, my name is Cassidy, and I pay my respects to the Holy Maiden!”

“Merlin pays his respects to the Holy Maiden.”

“Tobias pays his respects to the Holy Maiden.”

All three of them saluted Xu Xiaolan at the same time.

“What the hell is this Holy Maiden business?” Xu Xiaolan’s eyes widened in shock.

“An Lin is our Holy Leader, so you’re naturally going to be the Holy Maiden! The Holy Leader and the Holy Maiden are a match made in heaven!” Cassidy explained with a serious expression.

A blush appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face as she glowered at An Lin, as if she was dissatisfied with how direct his underlings were with their words.

Sword Immortal Ling Xiao massaged his brows. “Haven’t you all been selected to become the Holy Disciples of the Blood Tribe? Is it really ok to refer to An Lin and Xu Xiaolan like this? It feels a bit weird…”

The Holy Leader and the Holy Maiden with their Holy Disciples… Were they supposed to be a big, happy family!?

“Ptui! The so-called Holy Disciple is only a worthless title! We take much more pride in being Master’s underlings!” Tobias retorted.

“Gasp…” Everyone drew a collective sharp intake of breath. Were An Lin’s slaves that loyal to him?

Sword Immortal Ling Xiao’s heart also jolted with shock as an incredulous expression appeared on his face.

These were the Blood Tribe Holy Disciples. They had obtained the acknowledgment of the Blood Patriarch and were equal in status and position to the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures of the Blood Tribe. But they were renouncing this title as worthless?

Xuanyuan Cheng and the others were also familiar with the legend of the Blood Tribe Holy Disciples, and they were shocked to see that all three Holy Disciples were An Lin’s slaves. All of their mouths gaped open in shock, and they felt as if their horizons had been broadened.

An Lin congratulated them with a smile, “In any case, it’s great that you were all selected to become the newest generation of Holy Disciples.”

Cassidy’s eyes rippled with a seductive light as she spoke in a mellow voice, “Seeing as we’ve done so well, can we have a reward, Holy Leader?”

Merlin and Tobias’ eyes lit up at once as they nodded eagerly. “Yes, yes, yes… I concur!”

An Lin knew what they wanted, but a hesitant expression appeared on his face. “Do you know how the Dark Poison Lord died?”

“Wasn’t he slain by you?” Cassidy didn’t know why An Lin would suddenly ask them this, but she still gave an answer.

“No, he was killed by my blood!” An Lin spoke with a grave expression.

Cassidy: “…”

Merlin and Tobias: “…”

“Could it be that the Dark Poison Lord was too weak?” Tobias asked with difficulty.

“It could be because I have become more powerful.” An Lin looked at the three of them with a serious expression and said, “The purification power of my blood has become too powerful and even you three might not be able to handle it.”

All three Blood Tribe mighty figures fell silent upon hearing this. Their lives were on the line, so they had to think about this carefully.

“I feel like we should find a Blood Tribe mighty figure as a lab rat first!” Merlin suggested with a heavy voice.

“The Dark Poison Lord was at the Return to Void Initial Stage. Hence, we should find a lab rat at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Initial Stage or at the Return to Void Intermediate Stage…” Tobias analyzed, “I have some suitable candidates in the Divine Disc League of which I am a member.”

An Lin really wanted to know what was going on with his blood as well, so he nodded his head in agreement. “How about this? I’ll give Little Ke and Little Mai five milliliters of holy blood each, and I’ll give Tobias ten milliliters of blood. You guys can take them to do some experiments and maybe recruit some more Blood Tribe mighty figures in the process.”

Cassidy, Merlin, and Tobias’ bodies trembled with elation upon hearing this. “We would be happy to lay down our lives for Holy Leader!”

Being rewarded with such a large quantity of holy blood was well beyond their expectations!

Sword Immortal Ling Xiao, Xuanyuan Cheng, Su Qianyun, and the others were all dumbfounded by their conversation. They could understand everything that was being said, but they couldn’t understand what they were talking about.

What was this holy blood and recruitment process? It sounded quite high-end!

“Oh, right, there’s something else we came to tell you, Holy Leader,” Cassidy said all of a sudden.

“What is it?”

“It’s about Laden. He has been severely wounded and is currently recovering from his injuries on the Purple Snow Mountain.”

Everyone’s heart jolted upon receiving information about Laden.

Laden had put them through a nightmarish experience, and his insane power as a super mighty figure at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage made him capable of destroying a city with a wave of his hand. If it wasn’t for Xiao Ze and An Lin risking their lives to hold him off, they would most likely have all died at Huang Quan City.

An Lin was never one to accept losses, and he had been plotting a scheme to take vengeance on Laden for what he did to Xiao Ze.

“Holy Leader, what do you think?” Tobias inquired about An Lin’s thoughts.

“Hehe, I think this is an unmissable opportunity!” Powerful battle intent erupted from An Lin’s eyes.
