After he arrived at the grey wolf’s cave, Tang Ye hastily called out the violet mink, and the blood red pearl came out along with the violet mink. The violet mink held the pearl in its claws as it passed it towards Tang Ye while its little eyes had narrowed into a line. As he gazed at the pearl that lay before him, Tang Ye said with shock, “This pearl is for me?” The violet mink nodded. Tang Ye didn’t take the pearl, and he stretched out his hand to rub the violet mink’s fluffy little head instead and said in a light voice, “If you encounter any treasures in the future, you must not take a risk like the one you too today. In my heart, your safety is the most important. Understand?” A trace of a strange glow flashed in the violet mink’s eyes, and then it nodded before it flashed onto Tang Ye’s shoulder and rubbed its little head against Tang Ye’s face. Tang Ye smiled, and then he looked at the red pearl that floated before him. Right when his hand was about to grab onto the pearl, a gust of cool wind blew over from behind Tang Ye. After that, a white glow flashed as Su Qingshi appeared before him, and Tang Ye’s hand that was about to touch the red pearl had been grabbed by Su Qingshi. When he saw Su Qingshi that appeared abruptly before him, Tang Ye was stunned, and then he said, “Qingshi, you....” Su Qingshi heaved a sigh of relief when she noticed that Tang Ye hadn’t touched the pearl. After that, she let go of Tang Ye’s hand, and she gazed at the pearl with a serious expression as she said in a low voice, “You can’t touch this pearl!” After he dealt with the members of the Ghost Sect with the other members of the Sword Sect, she’d hurriedly come looking for Tang Ye because she was afraid Tang Ye would touch the pearl. Fortunately, Tang Ye hadn’t. “Why?” Tang Ye asked instinctively. Su Qingshi said with a solemn expression, “This pearl is called the Pearl of Baleful Blood. It’s a Pseudo Dao Artifact that was condensed from the resentment and blood of a few hundreds of thousands of people. Monstrous baleful energy is hidden within this pearl, and it’s just unable to escape from the pearl now because it was suppressed by the extraordinary experts of the Ghost Sect. If you touch this pearl, then it’s very likely for your mind to be affected by the baleful energy within it.” “A Pseudo Dao Artifact?” Tang Ye was shocked. A Pseudo Dao Artifact was an existence that surpassed Heaven Rank Dark Treasures! Tang Ye had never imagined that this pearl before him would actually be a Dao Artifact of legend! Su Qingshi nodded and said, “This Pearl of Baleful Blood can be considered to be an ultimate treasure of the Ghost Sect. If the disciples of the Ghost Sect who cultivate its cultivation technique possess this pearl, then their cultivations would advance at a tremendous pace. Moreover, if the monstrous baleful energy within the pearl was completely released, then even an Exalt Realm expert might perish in a moment of carelessness.” Tang Ye was shocked in his heart upon hearing this. He’d never imagined that this pearl the little fellow stole would actually be so terrifying. What sort of existences were Exalt Realm experts? They were existences that countless people looked up to, yet the baleful energy within this pearl was actually able to kill an Exalt Realm expert? When he thought up to here, Tang Ye’s eyes burned with desire. This is a treasure! If I encounter an expert I can’t defeat in the future, then wouldn’t it be an easy victory if I release the baleful energy within this pearl? Su Qingshi glanced at Tang Ye and seemed to know what he was thinking. She immediately said in a low voice, “You can’t use this pearl.” Tang Ye was stunned, and then he asked. “Why?” “The baleful energy within this pearl isn’t something an ordinary person can resist at all. Even those four Exalt Realm experts were only able to slowly release the baleful energy within it to damage our Sword Sect’s Spirit Vein. Not to mention releasing the baleful energy within the pearl, even touching this pearl would probably cause you to lose your mind!” Su Qingshi spoke in a low voice. “They were damaging the Sword Sect’s Spirit Vein?” Tang Ye was puzzled. Su Qingshi said, “There’s a natural Spirit Vein beneath the Sword Sect. All those years ago when the Founding Ancestor passed by here while roaming the world, he noticed that there was a natural Spirit Vein here, and in a spur of a moment, he established the Sword Sect. This Spirit Vein is definitely a reason why our Sword Sect could become one of the six great powers. Besides cultivation techniques and dark techniques, the reason the people of the mortal world want to enter a sect is that every single sect has a Spirit Vein. Cultivating where a Spirit Vein existed allowed one to cultivate much faster than an ordinary person!” Tang Ye said with surprise, “Then wasn’t the Ghost Sect’s actions equivalent to destroying the foundation of our Sword Sect?” A cold light flashed in Su Qingshi’s eyes as she said, “Their objective was precisely to destroy our Sword Sect’s foundation. However, we’d never imagined that they would actually start digging an underground passageway all the way from 500km away in the Nether Wolf Gorge to the area beneath Void Mountain, nor had we imagined that they would actually utilize the Pearl of Baleful Blood to destroy our Sword Sect’s Spirit Vein. Fortunately, we noticed them in time! Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.” Tang Ye raised a question that was bothering him. “Since this Pearl of Baleful Blood can destroy the Sword Sect’s Spirit Vein, then why didn’t the Ghost Sect dispatch even stronger experts to activate it completely?” Su Qingshi shook her head and said, “Two reasons. The first reason is that they can’t dispatch experts above the Spirit Realm because all of those experts are within the surveillance of my Sword Sect. If their experts above the Spirit Realm vanished, then the Sword Sect would find out at the first possible moment. In this way, the Sword Sect would definitely be on the lookout. The second reason was that there was no need for experts above the Spirit Realm. Because if they activated the Pearl of Baleful Blood at full strength, then the monstrous baleful energy would definitely alarm the experts of my Sword Sect. At that time, their plans would definitely fail!”
