Chapter 2230: The Three Great Blood Pools!

"Eh, Mo Sha, you're still alive? That human powerhouse just let you go? Where is he?"

Celestial Corpse Mo Sha did not leave. He was eager to see what gave this human the audacity to storm the Celestial Emperor's mansion.

At this moment, many others arrived upon hearing the news. Seeing that Mo Sha was still alive, they couldn't help but be surprised.

They had thought Ye Yuan had already killed him.

Mo Sha's dead face squeezed out an ugly smile. "He went in!"

"Went in? He... just walked in to demand someone? Hah, since when did Yinhuai Mansion become so easy to enter?"

Mo Sha gave another bitter smile. "He fought his way in!"

Pfft!

Several nearby ghostly cultivators burst out laughing. One said, "Fought his way in? Has that human brat lost his mind?"

"Heh, he was so arrogant just now. He's probably been torn apart and devoured by Chi Jue Celestial Venerable and the others by now."

"Even a peak Celestial Venerable would find death forcing their way into Yinhuai Mansion. He's com... com... coming out!"

The ghostly cultivator stopped mid-sentence, his mouth agape, staring in shock at the gates of Yinhuai Mansion.

The others looked puzzled, turned their heads, and instantly froze.

They saw a man and a ghost, one in front and one behind, swaggering out of the gates of Yinhuai Mansion!

They even saw some Celestial Venerables behind them, whom they normally couldn't approach, watching the two leave as if seeing off a plague.

Seeing Ye Yuan leave with Mad Blade Ghost Venerable, those Celestial Venerables let out a long sigh of relief.

Outside, the crowd of ghosts was stunned, impressed without knowing why.

"J-just... just walked out like that?" stammered the ghostly cultivator from before.

"No way? Could this human brat be a Celestial Emperor?"

Mo Sha was dumbfounded. He shook his head. "No, he's just a Celestial Venerable! But why could a Celestial Venerable take Mad Blade Ghost Venerable away? Could it be... that Ghost Ridge Celestial Emperor just watched him act recklessly?"

Ghost Ridge Celestial Emperor certainly wouldn't watch Ye Yuan act recklessly, but for the sake of a mere Mad Blade Ghost Venerable, letting Yinhuai Mansion suffer heavy losses wasn't worth it.

Thus, he ultimately compromised.

After all, Ye Yuan had given him face.

Even if that face was somewhat unsightly.

Following behind Ye Yuan, Mad Blade Ghost Venerable's heart was churning with shock.

When he met Ye Yuan in the Immortal Forest World, Ye Yuan was only at the Divine Lord realm.

Back then, the weak Ye Yuan still needed his protection as a Ghost Venerable.

But now, only a thousand years had passed, and Ye Yuan had brought him, a prisoner, out of the Celestial Emperor's mansion.

What was even more terrifying was that when he was brought out, he had seen Ghost Ridge Celestial Emperor!

At that moment, Ghost Ridge Celestial Emperor's expression was truly priceless.

Then, Ye Yuan took him away right in front of Ghost Ridge Celestial Emperor.

Before leaving, Ye Yuan even said, "Thanks for the face, Ghost Ridge Celestial Emperor."

What the hell was that?

If Ghost Ridge Celestial Emperor hadn't been there, it would have been somewhat understandable.

But he was there!

And from the looks of it, a fierce battle had just taken place in Yinhuai Mansion.

So... how had Ye Yuan managed it?

Mad Blade Ghost Venerable understood that no matter how Ye Yuan had done it, this young man before him was no longer the kid who had once sought shelter under his wing!

They had just walked a few streets when suddenly a group of ghosts and monsters charged at them head-on.

Seeing Mad Blade Ghost Venerable behind Ye Yuan, they froze on the spot.

"Mad Blade, you... how did you get out?" The leading ghostly Celestial Venerable looked at Mad Blade with an expression of utter astonishment, as if seeing a ghost among ghosts.

Mad Blade showed a moved expression and smiled. "You Fang, the Young Master rescued me."

You Fang Celestial Venerable's gaze fell on Ye Yuan. "Young Master? This kid? Didn't you say your Young Master was at the Divine Lord realm? How could he rescue you from the ghost prison of Yinhuai Mansion?"

Mad Blade's expression darkened slightly. "You Fang, don't be disrespectful! The Young Master is no longer that weak youth. He is now a Celestial Venerable! Even Ghost Ridge Celestial Emperor is wary of him!"

You Fang Celestial Venerable looked incredulous, sizing up Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan, however, couldn't be bothered to argue. He said flatly, "Mad Blade, let's go!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

Mad Blade acknowledged and followed Ye Yuan away.

Arriving at Mad Blade's residence, Ye Yuan got straight to the point. "Mad Blade, do you know where I can find Silver Luo Blood Essence in the Senluo Ghost Domain?"

Mad Blade Ghost Venerable was surprised. "Silver Luo Blood Essence is an extremely rare eighth-rank heavenly material. Even in the Senluo Ghost Domain, it's very scarce. What does the Young Master need it for?"

Ye Yuan said, "The Soul-Calming Pearl was severely damaged, and Wuchen has fallen into a deep sleep. I urgently need Silver Luo Blood Essence to restore Wuchen's strength!"

Mad Blade Ghost Venerable was greatly alarmed. "What? Lord Wuchen... he was so powerful. Who could have made him fall into a deep sleep? Could it be... a Celestial Emperor?"

In his memory, Wuchen's power was beyond doubt.

Without a Celestial Emperor appearing, no one could do anything to him.

But Mad Blade Ghost Venerable didn't know that the Soul-Calming Pearl had already reached the level of a Celestial Emperor's divine treasure, and Wuchen's strength had advanced further.

Ye Yuan just nodded without saying much.

Yuan Jiu was not merely a Celestial Emperor.

He was a supreme being who could contend with Celestial Emperors of the Ninth Heaven!

Recovering from his shock, Mad Blade Ghost Venerable frowned. "Silver Luo Blood Essence is a great tonic for soul-type cultivators. Every time a piece of Silver Luo Blood Essence appears, it attracts the attention of Celestial Emperors. Some Celestial Emperors have even been killed fighting over it. Over time, most Silver Luo Blood Essence has fallen into the hands of Celestial Emperors above the mid-stage."

Ye Yuan listened, his brow furrowing deeply.

He knew Silver Luo Blood Essence was highly sought after, but he hadn't expected it to be this competitive.

Snatching Silver Luo Blood Essence from mid-stage Celestial Emperors—unless he had a death wish.

"Is there no other way?" Ye Yuan frowned.

Mad Blade Ghost Venerable hesitated. "There is a way, but it's extremely dangerous. Silver Luo Blood Essence originates from the three great blood pools of the Senluo Ghost Domain! They are the Diyan Blood Pool, the Goumie Blood Pool, and the Shura Blood Pool! Legend has it that these three blood pools were formed from the blood of ancient supreme cultivators, filled with immense resentment, and remnants of their souls occasionally appear. Of course, they are also excellent cultivation grounds for ghostly cultivators, with countless ghostly and corpse cultivators lingering there year-round. Every year, many Celestial Venerables break through there, but many also die! Some Celestial Emperors who ventured deep never returned!"

Ye Yuan took a deep breath. Indeed, the Silver Luo Blood Essence was a troublesome matter!

But no matter how troublesome, he had to go.

Time was pressing; he couldn't afford to delay any longer.

If things continued like this, both Wuchen and Mu Lingxue would be in danger.

His gaze hardened. "Which blood pool is closest to here?"

Mad Blade Ghost Venerable's heart skipped a beat, knowing Ye Yuan had made up his mind. "The Shura Blood Pool!"
