Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

The reinforcements have arrived?

The other eleven elders, have they arrived so quickly?

Qin Xin felt a twinge of tension.

Looking back, she saw the Second Elder emerging from one of the tunnels.

In the dim passageway, though the Seventh Elder kept tossing out fireballs to light the way, it was still murky and Qin Xin couldn’t clearly see the Second Elder’s expression.

Qin Xin was unsure if the Second Elder was an ally or an enemy.

Moreover, the Seventh Elder was still incessantly shouting: “This blood pool is not mine alone, Old Second, don’t think you can stay out of this. You need to wake those two up and tell them what the real rules are!”

Qin Xin furrowed her brow.

The Second Elder certainly knew about it.

If the Second Elder hadn’t been aware that the student who placed first in the competition would be taken into the blood pool after accepting a master, he wouldn’t have secretly given her that “don’t take first place” look at the school anniversary arena competition.

Clearly, the Second Elder knew well what the Seventh Elder was doing.

But knowing is one thing, participating is another.

Qin Xin spoke coldly, addressing the Second Elder at the shore: “Did you also participate in collecting this blood, did you also absorb the nutrients they provided?”

The Second Elder closed his eyes, and in a moment several more white hairs appeared on his head as he admitted: “Yes…”

He was responsible for collecting the blood of spiritual beasts.

Although he tried to find dead spiritual beasts or those easy to harm and bleed, it cannot be denied that he also participated in collecting spiritual blood.

Qin Xin’s gaze darkened: “If so, then you are an enemy, not a friend, and neither of us need to show mercy!”

Saying this, she unleashed a spiritual power attack towards the Second Elder unceremoniously.

While Qin Xin was engaged with the Second Elder, the Seventh Elder stealthily peeked out from behind the coiling dragon stone tablet, his palm curling slightly as he formed a dark fireball, intending to ambush Qin Xin.

This black fire was his ultimate skill, once attached, it would ignite an inextinguishable soul-devouring fire, burning the enemy’s spiritual power. However, since it consumed so much of his own spiritual power, he rarely used it unless it was a life-or-death situation.

He was truly desperate.

He planned to seize this rare opportunity to capture both Qin Xin and Nalan Ye Jue in one go with the help of the Second Elder.

Just as the black fire congealed and he couldn’t wait to shoot it towards Qin Xin.

Soul-devouring!

Integrate that Blood Woman for personal use!

At the very critical moment.

Nalan Ye Jue’s crossbow aimed directly at his forehead and fired.

Meanwhile, the Second Elder, instead of resisting Qin Xin’s spiritual power attack, absorbed it and simultaneously launched a time-stalling attack on the Seventh Elder!

The Seventh Elder’s pupils contracted.

His black fire had not yet left his hand, and Nalan Ye Jue’s mysterious iron arrow was already right in front of him. Even more frightening was the Second Elder’s time-stalling that stiffened his whole body, making it impossible to dodge Nalan Ye Jue’s mysterious iron arrow.

“You, you did it on purpose, purposely pretending to be hostile, to lull me into complacency… You heartless bastards, you want to monopolize the blood pool, don’t you…”

To be judged as heartless by the most heartless person here is quite something.

The next second.

The mysterious iron arrow pierced through the Seventh Elder’s skull.

The strength imbued by Nalan Ye Jue in the arrow caused the Seventh Elder to topple backward, plummeting deeply into the pool.

He finally offered his own blood to the blood pool he had spent his entire life obsessing over.

The Second Elder retracted his gesture, glanced apologetically at Qin Xin: “I’m sorry, Miss Lan, I apologize on his behalf.”

Qin Xin gave a cursory glance at this old man who had switched sides at the last moment, betraying the Twelve Elders’ camp to support them.

This time, it certainly wasn’t because of Jing Zhichen.

Nor was it to help Nalan Ye Jue.

“You were responsible for collecting not human but spiritual beast blood, right?” she guessed somewhat.
