Chapter 1235 - Dragon Blood
The three elders froze in shock. None of them had known what lay inside the porcelain bottle.
The instant Liu Wuxie pulled the stopper free, a violent aura erupted. A divine dragon surged forth, its roar shaking the air as dragon might flooded the surroundings. The oppressive might drove the three elders back, while its weight pinned nearby disciples and made them collapse.
Liu Wuxie swiftly snapped the stopper back into place. In that brief heartbeat, he had glimpsed the treasure inside—a single drop of blood essence.
"It's the blood essence of a divine dragon," Liu Wuxie murmured. His shock slowly faded, but his gaze turned sharp as he looked at the three elders. There was no Cannibal Valley option in the chamber, and the elders delivered the reward only after his training. He had a strong suspicion that something else was at play.
"Tell me—what's with the Cannibal Valley?" Liu Wuxie asked. He wanted to know if someone had tried to kill him by sending him there deliberately.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Your time is up, and you should leave the Primordial Pagoda now," the three elders replied quickly, their voices stiff, as if someone had stepped on their tails. They urged him to leave at once.
But their evasive tone only deepened Liu Wuxie's curiosity. He refused to go until he had his answers.
"I checked the chamber myself. There's no Cannibal Valley option on the selection menu. If you don't explain this today, I'll report it to the upper echelons. I believe the upper echelons will punish you three for it. Don't say I didn't warn you," Liu Wuxie said with a faint smile, his eyes fixed on them.
"Liu Wuxie, don't push it! Not even the seventh floor has a reward like this. You should be grateful!" the right elder snapped, and Liu Wuxie's tone wounded his pride.
Liu Wuxie's suspicion hardened. His brush with death in the Cannibal Valley hadn't been an accident; most people would have perished there.
"I believe this drop of divine dragon blood isn't the Primordial Pagoda's reward, is it?" Liu Wuxie said, smiling coldly. Since even the seventh floor couldn't grant such a prize, someone must have given it to him in secret.
From their words alone, he already knew the truth. This was no ordinary reward. These three elders could never provide something as precious as divine dragon blood. But he needed to know whose hand had placed it in his possession.
