I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Huge blood-red stone houses were lined up in rows, forming neat queues. Looking over the cluster of houses, one could see a towering giant stone house at its center, its summit sparkling with a bloody light.

That was where Xuezhi resided.

Around Xuezhi's towering stone house, the inner circle housed the Blood Disciples, while the outermost circle was home to the Blood Slaves. Xu Yan discovered that the Blood Slaves did not live solo in a stone house.

Blood Disciples had their own independent stone houses. The strength of the bloody light emanating from the houses could reveal the relative power and status among them.

"Which stone house is mine?"

Xu Yan suddenly fell into thought.

"Forget it, I'm here to find Blood Heart Fruits, not to settle down. But where could the Blood Heart Fruits be?"

Xu Yan entered the cluster of stone houses, trying to act nonchalantly and as if he knew his way around, while secretly searching for the Blood Heart Fruits.

"Eh, is that the Blood Heart Fruit?"

Suddenly, Xu Yan saw a blood-red plant that resembled a vine growing in front of a Blood Disciple's stone house not far away. The plant crept up the building, and a blood-red fruit the size of an egg, shaped like a heart, hung from the vine.

Xu Yan casually, as if strolling leisurely in a garden, approached the stone house and stood beneath the Blood Heart Fruit, examining it for a moment before he reached up and plucked it.

Crack!

The door of the stone house opened, and a Blood Disciple stepped out, glaring at him in anger, "867, that is mine!"

867?

Xu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly realized that this was the code of the Blood Disciple he was impersonating.

"Brother, come on, here's your chance to make a merit!"

Xu Yan moved closer, casually slinging his arm around the other's shoulder like an old chum, pulling him into the stone house.

"I have a brilliant plan that could earn us great merit. Since this is yours, let's join forces, and we'll share the credit..."

Xu Yan spoke in hushed, mysterious tones, as if afraid of outsiders overhearing the opportunity to gain merit.

The Blood Disciple looked bemused. Was he that familiar with 867?

"What opportunity to earn merit?"

Still, he couldn't help but ask instinctively.

The two of them entered the stone house, and everything inside fell into Xu Yan's view. To his surprise, there were two more Blood Heart Fruits on the table.

"These Blood Heart Fruits don't seem to have much use for Blood Disciples, other than being consumed as Spirit Fruit?"

Xu Yan was a bit surprised internally, yet considering the beings of Netherworld were inherently different, training in distinct martial arts paths, he was no longer taken aback.

Blood Heart Fruits, such a unique treasure, only worked miraculously for Martial Artists of this Domain.

"This could be very useful, for drawing people in..."

Xu Yan stepped forward swiftly, taking the Blood Heart Fruits, and as he did so, he leaned in closer to the Blood Disciple's shoulder, saying, "Brother, listen, I've got a grand plan..."

"867, why do I feel like something's off about you!"

The Blood Disciple suddenly furrowed his brows, showing a hint of wariness.

"It's because I..."

Thump!

A sword pierced the Blood Disciple's chest, extinguishing his life force in an instant, and amidst his disbelieving gaze, Xu Yan said slowly, "...am not Blood Disciple 867."

Thump!

The Blood Disciple disintegrated into ash.

Xu Yan collected his Blood Beads and switched his aura, taking on the appearance of the Blood Disciple he had just killed.

"Let's see what other treasures there might be."

Xu Yan began to search the stone house.

Soon, he found the name of the slain Blood Disciple: 666. Explore more at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

"From now on, I am Blood Disciple 666!"

Xu Yan smiled.

After donning the garments of Blood Disciple 666, he walked out of the stone house and continued his search for the Blood Heart Fruits. These were treasures, and the Wan Family was offering a hefty reward for acquiring them.

The Wan Family was the overlord of Dahai Mountain, ruling over its land with abundant resources and countless heavenly treasures. Perfect for trading the Blood Heart Fruit for the special treasures he desired.

Xu Yan went straight to the adjacent stone house and knocked on the door. A Blood Disciple opened it, looking at him perplexedly, "Old Six, what brings you here?"

"That's how it is..."

Xu Yan casually draped his arm over the other's shoulder as they entered the stone house, then swiftly closed the door behind them. His sequence of movements was extremely practiced, as if rehearsed countless times.

"Old Six, I've come today to share a grand plan with you, one that will earn us great merit. You know about this kind of fruit, right? Actually..."

As Xu Yan spoke, he picked up a Blood Heart Fruit from the table, his voice taking on a mysterious tone.

The Blood Disciple asked curiously, "What plan? What can you, a simpleton, possibly come up with?"

Xu Yan was certain that this Blood Disciple was on very good terms with the Six Blood Disciple, after all, they were neighbors. And the look in the other's eyes seemed to hold a trace of surprise, as if wondering why the old neighbor had undergone a change of character.

Therefore, this person had to be eliminated; otherwise, the risk of exposure loomed.

"Hey, you just don't understand. I, Old Six, have always been prudent..."

Thud!

With one hand on the other's shoulder, a sword pierced the Blood Disciple's heart, extinguishing his life force and preventing him from making even the slightest sound before dying.

The Blood Disciple was stunned. Old Six actually wanted to kill him!

After dealing with the Blood Disciple, Xu Yan put away the Blood Heart Fruit and left the stone house, pondering for a moment before heading towards the next one.

"What a pauper, not even a single Blood Heart Fruit!"

Xu Yan cursed to himself as he emerged from a stone house.

This was the eighth stone house he had visited, and not all Blood Disciples possessed a Blood Heart Fruit.

"Ah, there's a Blood Heart Fruit here."

He casually plucked a Blood Heart Fruit growing outside a Blood Disciple's house, waited a bit, and when no one came out of the stone house, which seemed empty, he turned and left.

"This Netherworld Blood Disciple wields considerable power, likely commanding hundreds of Blood Disciples. The closer you get to the inner Blood Disciples, the stronger they are, the higher their rank.

"This also means that these Blood Disciples have more resources."

Xu Yan pondered for a moment, and then slowly walked towards the row of stone houses deeper inside.

Assuming the identity of the Six Blood Disciple, he visited one Blood Disciple after another.

"There are still too few Blood Heart Fruits. I've killed over a hundred Blood Disciples and only collected a little over thirty Blood Heart Fruits. I also don't know whether the Blood Heart Fruit is effective with every intake."

Xu Yan sighed inwardly, knowing that even in the Netherworld, the Blood Heart Fruit was extremely rare.

Along the way, he had emptied over a hundred stone houses; their owners had all been eliminated by him, the Six Blood Disciple.

"The Wan Family should thank me, for I have weakened the power of the Heavenly Grotto."

Xu Yan sighed to himself.

"When I was in the Qinghua state, why didn't I think of impersonating a Blood Disciple?"

The stone house in front of him belonged to the innermost circle of the Blood Disciples' houses, and it was the largest row of them.

This meant that the Blood Disciples inside were the most powerful, certainly on par with the peak of the True King Heavenly Venerable.

"After all, I am not a Blood Disciple. If I were scrutinized closely, I would still be exposed, so I must be cautious."

Xu Yan knocked on the door of the stone house.

Given the high status and position of this stone house's owner, there must be no shortage of treasures, right? Items like the Blood Heart Fruit should probably be in abundance, right?

However, since the other's power was too formidable, he needed to annihilate him in one blow without causing a commotion, or else, if he alarmed the Netherworld Blood Disciple, there would be serious trouble.

The stone house door opened, revealing a burly, fierce-looking Blood Disciple. Xu Yan was about to imitate what he'd seen before, but the Blood Disciple beat him to it, asking with a puzzled face, "Little Six, what do you want with me?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan's heart skipped a beat, "The Six Blood Disciple takes orders from this person, this is going to be difficult."

With many Blood Disciples around, there were naturally those who led them, divided into many groups. From the tone and expression of the Blood Disciple before him, it was clear that the Six Blood Disciple was under his command.

"It's a major issue!"

Xu Yan spoke gravely, his face etched with seriousness as he entered the stone house as if the significant matter he referred to could not be known to others.

"What major issue?"

The fierce-looking Blood Disciple frowned, looking somewhat displeased, but it was only displeasure without any suspicion. Ever since the Netherworld invaded this Domain, there had never been an instance of infiltration by an imposter.

The breath of life was difficult to conceal from each other, just as the Netherworld Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves could not impersonate and infiltrate the forces of this Domain either.

As soon as Xu Yan entered the stone house, he saw several Blood Heart Fruits placed on a plate on the table, and he could not help but praise inwardly – as one of the strongest Blood Disciples, the treatment was indeed excellent.

"This is what I heard from the Wan Family side..."

Xu Yan leaned in close to the Blood Disciple, lowered his voice, and began speaking with a heavy and serious tone.
