Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 938: An Open Feint and a Hidden Move

Having obtained the green bead.

"Follow me!"

Ye Yun glanced at the red-robed old man, issued a brief command, and marched toward the secret chamber.

"Yes, senior." Though anxious, the old man in red trailed after Ye Yun into the room.

Right after stepping inside, Ye Yun spun around and abruptly pointed toward the sky.

A chill struck the red-robed old man's forehead, and he sensed something had penetrated within.

He inspected immediately.

Discovering a seal had formed deep inside his mind.

"Senior, what... is this?"

The old man in red paled, drenched in cold sweat.

"Don't worry, I vowed to let you live, so I won't slay you. This seal serves only as a safeguard; betray me, and you'll face total annihilation!"

Ye Yun stated indifferently.

"Senior, I'd never betray you!"

The old man in red bowed hastily, powerless to resist.

"Excellent, now perform a task for me!"

Ye Yun commanded solemnly.

"Command me, senior!"

"Fetch a vessel to contain the Azure Dragon Blood!"

Ye Yun directed.

"Right away!"

With a wave of his hand, the old man in red produced a petite white bottle.

"Soon, I'll shift into Azure Dragon Blood and slip into this Jade Bottle. Then, light an incense, contact your master, and let him claim this bottle of Azure Dragon Blood. Your duty ends there!"

Ye Yun explained deliberately.

What?

This senior plans to become Azure Dragon Blood?

The old man in red gaped at Ye Yun, utterly confused and stunned.

Azure Dragon Blood possesses a distinct aura. Even transformation techniques couldn't replicate it flawlessly.

If the master detects the ruse, won't he be finished?

"Sigh, the senior has imposed a restriction on me; refusal means my doom..."

The old man in red pondered inwardly.

Resolving himself with gritted teeth, he committed to the decision right then.

Death loomed regardless; better to stick with the senior's scheme.

Moreover, this senior exudes mystery and seems to possess bottomless cultivation prowess.

The master might not even rival him.

Buoyed by this thought, he declared swiftly, "Fear not, senior, I'll obey fully!"

"Very well!"

Ye Yun nodded approvingly.

In the next instant, Ye Yun invoked the Ten Thousand Changes at Heart.

Turning into a ray of blood-colored light, he plunged into the Jade Bottle.

At that moment.

Ye Yun had morphed into Azure Dragon Blood.

The old man in red lifted the bottle close and peered inside, inhaling sharply in shock.

It matched authentic Azure Dragon Blood perfectly.

Even its purity.

Exceeded any Azure Dragon Blood he'd ever handled before.

"Carry on now..."

Ye Yun's voice resounded from the Jade Bottle's depths.

"Understood, senior!"

The old man in red replied at once, hurrying to the altar.

Drawing a deep breath to steady his nerves, he retrieved an incense stick, ignited it, and set it in the burner.

Then he stood in silent anticipation.

Thin trails of smoke rose, curling around the statue as if drawn into it.

Hum...

The blood-red statue quivered faintly.

Beneath its silver mask, eyes gleamed with a dim red light, awakening to life.

"It's arrived!"

The old man in red rejoiced at the sight and bowed deeply in respect.

"Master!" he whispered.

The blood-red statue stayed mute, surveying the area and detecting no oddities, before fixing its gaze on the altar.

"So swiftly, you've gathered Azure Dragon Blood?"

The bloody statue remarked icily.

"Indeed, master, this batch of Azure Dragon Blood boasts superior quality!"

Eyes on the white Jade Bottle atop the altar, the old man in red grew bolder, steeling himself within while beaming outwardly.

"Splendid!"

The bloody statue eyed the white Jade Bottle, appearing pleased.

Its gaze flashed, sending two red beams piercing into emptiness.

Whoosh!

A tiny whirlpool emerged overhead abruptly.

A blood-red streak descended, swallowing the white Jade Bottle in a flash.

"Should this suffice, no more collection needed; I'll aid your Red Blood Divine Skill cultivation!"

The bloody statue ordered, its red glow dimming as it went dormant again.

"Gratitude, master!"

The old man in red thanked profusely.

He lingered briefly, noting the statue's stillness.

Probing with Divine Sense and finding no activity, he exhaled in relief.

The senior's orders had been fulfilled.

Now.

Survival hinged on the senior's abilities.

"This senior boldly schemes such infiltration, must possess tremendous power..."

The old man in red reassured himself with a wry smile, then departed the secret chamber.

...

"This time, I have to fully uncover the Dragon Raisers’ secrets!"

Within the Jade Bottle.

Ye Yun felt the shifts in the surrounding space, a grin forming in his mind.

His strategy of feigning a frontal assault while sneaking through the rear, slipping silently into the foes’ midst, was utterly beyond the Dragon Raisers’ wildest imagination.

The tiny Jade Bottle hurtled across the void for about the duration of one incense stick before coming to a halt.

"Are we there yet?"

Smiling, Ye Yun surveyed his surroundings.

Right now.

It rested on yet another altar, with a statue just like the one from the Red-blood Tribe.

Facing the statue.

Two red-robed masked men were standing there.

"Haha, hurry and fetch that Azure Dragon Blood!"

The left man burst into laughter.

The right man stretched out his hand impatiently, pulling the Jade Bottle toward him until it settled in his grasp.

They drew it near, their faces lighting up with delight.

"Wow, this Azure Dragon Blood’s quality beats all the ones before it!"

The left man cried out in excitement.

"With Azure Dragon Blood this pure, back in the Azure Dragon Tribe, it could push a Dragon God Bloodline past seventy percent!"

The right man agreed with a nod.

"Isn’t that fantastic? It’s a huge boost to our scheme!"

The left man let out a chuckle.

"Come on, let’s rush to the master with this blood and check if the dragon egg hatches successfully this round!"

The right man proposed.

Leaving the room behind, the pair twisted through the labyrinthine shadowy corridors until they reached a majestic hall.

Seven massive Blood Pools dominated the hall.

Brimming with bloody glows, saturated in scarlet mist.

A Dragon Egg bobbed in every pool.

These Dragon Eggs had turned a deep crimson, far from their initial hue.

Red-robed masked attendants lingered by each Blood Pool, laboring away and from time to time channeling spells toward the Dragon Eggs.

"What sort of place is this?"

Concealed inside the Jade Bottle, Ye Yun watched the Dragon Eggs immersed in the seven Blood Pools, a trace of uncertainty flickering in his thoughts.
