Chapter 2070 - 2071: Northern Spiritual Energy Circulation

A stream of Northern Spiritual Energy circulated in Blood Son's hand. Ling Zhenfei knew there was no way to stop it, the distance was too close for any reaction.

He glanced again at Ru Meng, but she still showed no expression, as if none of this concerned her.

Ling Zhenfei realized that it was over, today he might really die at Blood Son's hands.

Just then, he suddenly heard someone speaking nearby: "What are you doing here?"

Blood Son was about to strike Ling Zhenfei but, upon hearing the voice, immediately withdrew his hand, and several people looked towards the speaker.

Ling Zhenfei also turned to look at the speaker. Upon recognizing the person, his heart filled with joy; it was Du E.

There was still some connection between him and Du E, who had now reached the Pursue Heart State.

These major sects have the support of their sects, so once they establish themselves in the Foreign Land, they can easily break through from Realm of Reaching Wisdom to Pursue Heart State without concerns.

But Ling Zhenfei couldn't, as he didn't have a major sect backing him. Even if he wanted to break through, he had no time.

Blood Son apparently knew Du E, addressing him: "Oh, Duke Du is here, no worries, just chatting with an acquaintance."

Du E glanced at Ling Zhenfei and said, "You know Brother Ling?"

Blood Son slightly surprised, said: "You know this person?"

Du E replied: "We happened to meet once at Xianling Mountain. Is there some misunderstanding between you?"

Blood Son confessed without hesitation: "No misunderstanding, I just want to kill him."

Du E's expression changed, saying, "That won't do; now's a critical moment with many watching you. You can't kill anyone, otherwise that matter will be troublesome."

Blood Son glanced at Ling Zhenfei and said: "Killing an ant like him shouldn't matter, would it affect that matter?"

Du E said: "It's a critical moment now, better be cautious, don't let yourself fall into people's tongues. Killing someone is easy, but if it affects the big matter, it won't be worth it."

Blood Son nodded, seeming to have understood something.

Nodded and said: "Brother Du is right, it was my oversight earlier. Thanks for the reminder."

Du E said: "All the major sects have gathered at the front. Once we break through the South Gate, we should have a voice in the discussions, so let's hurry."

Turns out there are Du Family people in this attack on the South Gate; naturally with the Du Family, there should be the South Sea Immortal Palace involved. No wonder they can command the Du Family.

With the combined strength of the South Sea Immortal Palace, the top Du Family, along with Blood Oath Sect and some minor sects, it's possible to challenge the South Gate.

Du E gave Ling Zhenfei a look.

Although Du E hadn't explicitly helped Ling Zhenfei earlier, his words indirectly saved Ling Zhenfei.

Though the matter is unknown, mentioning it was clearly Du E's intention to save Ling Zhenfei.

Saving Ling Zhenfei without offending Blood Son, who felt grateful to Du E—that's Du E's wisdom.

Ling Zhenfei and Du E only had a fleeting acquaintance, perhaps Du E had eaten something from Ling Zhenfei. Du E's action in saving Ling Zhenfei made him feel very grateful.

Blood Son led his men away, but two guys stayed at the back of the group intentionally.

Ling Zhenfei's heart sank, realizing these two guys wouldn't be up to anything good.

The two weren't wearing Blood Oath Sect's clothes, but the cunning on their faces was the same as Blood Son's.

"Kid, you think our master would really spare you? He won't do it personally, but he said he'd let you live begging to die."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Your master really isn't anything good."

One guy said: "You're right. Our master never intended to be good, but no matter how bad, he lives well. What about you? You might not fare as well."

Ling Zhenfei said: "What do you intend to do?"

The two looked at Ling Zhenfei and said: "Judging by the looks of it, you're heavily injured, currently healing, right? You probably can't even move now."

Ling Zhenfei said: "If you're planning something bad against me, I'll kill you even if it worsens my injuries."

Both laughed: "You think you can kill us? A mere fantasy. Your strength is just Dawen Realm, same as ours, but do you think we bought our Dawen Realm?"

Even if your body was in peak condition, beating both of us would be impossible, let alone now when you're severely injured. So just wait to die."

They were correct, their strength had reached Late Dawen Realm. Even if Ling Zhenfei wasn't injured, it would take effort to deal with them, let alone now.

At this time, the two took out a small box containing several long needles, all black.

The box opened, releasing black gas from the needles. Zhenfei was shocked, realizing these needles weren't good.

At this point, one of them said: "These needles are named Lock Spirit Needle. Curious about their use? Try, and you'll find out."

At this moment, one of them, injured, emitted Northern Spiritual Energy and caught Ling Zhenfei, making his body immobile.

Ling Zhenfei knew it was bad; these needles were definitely unkind. Their function was unknown.

Then the guy picked up a needle, saying to Ling Zhenfei: "They're magical, known as Lock Spirit Needle, or Eight-Part Lock Spirit Needle."

"I should introduce a few treasures of our Blood Oath Sect, but forget it, it's pointless since you wouldn't understand. Let me explain the Eight-Part Lock Spirit Needle."

"This needle has a special function—when it pierces your leg, that leg becomes useless. Walking might still be possible, but using Northern Spiritual Energy isn't."

"Locked by the needle, not even Immortal can undo it. It's called Eight-Part because it divides a person into eight parts: legs are two parts."

"Your arms are two parts, then your Dantian is one part, chest one part, neck one, head one, totaling eight parts. I can lock any part I choose. Impressive, right?"

Ling Zhenfei was stunned. He hadn't expected such a powerful treasure from Blood Oath Sect. If truly locked by Lock Spirit Needle, he wouldn't be able to fight using Northern Spiritual Energy anymore.

The guy then asked the other: "Which part should we lock first?"
