"Emperor Azure River of the present!" Jessica began for the first time, looking directly at the man in front of her.

She thought this blind man had nothing impressive about him.

But there are truly few who are recognized by True Lord Nine Shadows.

"Is he really that powerful? I heard that the Blood Soul was injured, and quite severely. Turns out, it was you guys who did it." Jessica walked up to Julius Reed, sniffed, and suddenly her expression changed dramatically: "Why does your body have the scent of River Azure?"

"What do you mean?"

Julius Reed and True Lord Nine Shadows asked in unison.

"Explain it clearly!"

Faced with the two of them questioning her like that, Jessica hesitated.

"Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you." True Lord Nine Shadows hugged Jessica tightly, "Tonight, when we do the thing, give Blood Soul a call, to provoke him."

"Yes, that’s the most stimulating." Jessica lifted her head, completely at ease, and started getting cozy with True Lord Nine Shadows.

"First, let’s focus on business!" Julius Reed interrupted them.

"Alright." True Lord Nine Shadows pushed Jessica away, "First, let me have my brother discuss the business."

"Actually, I accidentally discovered a secret."

Jessica hesitated for a moment and then spoke up.

"Blood Soul and River Azure are the same person."

"But their personalities differ! Blood Soul cultivates this secret technique, which has a flaw. That is when someone transforms into blood, they must be very pure. Pure represents what? It represents a person’s good and evil, they can only have one."

"The Blood Soul Emperor took away half of his blood, and within that half, lies his evil!"

"While Emperor Azure River represents goodness. So, all these years, Blood Soul has always tried to kill River Azure, but every time he failed."

"I can feel it, this kid has Emperor Azure River’s blood within him, and even... your eyes, they’re also from Azure River?"

Jessica circled Julius Reed, "The shadow, the heart! Brother, impressive!"

"Speak clearly!" True Lord Nine Shadows was very excited!

What’s this supposed to mean?

The River Azure he worshiped previously turns out to be the same person as Blood Soul?

One person split apart?

One represents white, the other represents black?

Too ridiculous!

But it seems to explain why Blood Soul harbors such hatred for River Azure.

It also explains River Azure’s personality, why it’s so aloof.

However, River Azure has truly perished.

At least Julius Reed inherited his physical body, which is a good thing.

"Now he’s half of River Azure." Jessica nodded: "No wonder, Blood Soul couldn’t defeat you. But as far as I know, the Blood Soul Emperor has already sensed his blood. His blood is undying and immortal, it won’t dissipate. The reason you could defeat him before is that his blood wasn’t his own blood. So he couldn’t withstand your attack even as half of River Azure."

"If he finds his own blood, given your current strength, you’re still not his match."

"He’s already on his way, I estimate he’ll come looking for you in a few days. When that time comes, your chances are slim."

Jessica sighed, "You better run. Blood Soul’s power is extremely pure, his recovery speed is the fastest, no one can match it. Even River Azure, that is only within a complete physical body." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"You’re all just human; it’s merely a pool of blood."

Jessica stressed.

"According to you, I’m doomed?" True Lord Nine Shadows’ face turned solemn.

"Not at all, I’m here." Jessica clung seductively to True Lord Nine Shadows’ embrace, "I’ll help you deal with him!"

"You also have to save my brother." True Lord Nine Shadows pointed at Julius Reed.

He knew how terrifying the Blood Soul Emperor is.

If Jessica doesn’t intervene, Julius Reed would be in danger.

"No need."

Julius Reed shook his head, "Keep to the plan, you stay to protect them. I’ll personally go find Silvio Reed, this time, it’s both a battle of supremacy and a fight to the death!"

After speaking, Julius Reed, carrying his sword, disappeared into the vast plains.

"Did you notice, he truly carries the vigour and spirit of Blood Soul." Jessica watched Julius Reed’s silhouette, talking to True Lord Nine Shadows.

"Of course, he’s full of righteousness." True Lord Nine Shadows sighed, "Shall we go for a little joy in separation and reunion?"

"You’re so annoying."

After Jessica spoke, she entered with True Lord Nine Shadows.

"Women, can really be like this?" Long Dance looked at Nelson.

"Who knows! Humph." Nelson secretly noted, planning to try it when Julius Reed returned.

...

Inside the underground palace.

Silvio Reed sat in the living room, looking at the Blood Soul Emperor before him, raised his wine glass and said: "Tomorrow, I’ll take you to reclaim that pool of blood. It’s fate indeed. I never imagined that the accidental discovery back then would turn out to be your body!"

"That would be optimal. I’m fed up with the current days." Blood Soul Emperor morphed into human form, gloomily, and drank from the wine glass in one gulp.

"No rush, we share a common enemy. Once you become the supreme in the martial arts world, please, don’t forget about me." Silvio Reed said with a smile.

"Certainly. If I regain my strength, then you’ll be my top subordinate. This world, whatever you desire, I’ll give it to you!" Blood Soul Emperor looked at his current blood, feeling frustrated.

His power was too weak, totally insufficient!

If he had his original blood, there’d be no rivals in this world!

"I’ve assigned people to prepare, Emperor, don’t worry, tomorrow you’ll be reinstated." Silvio Reed rose, bowed to Blood Soul Emperor, and turned to leave.

Upon exiting the room, he quietly asked Gold Cicada beside him: "Is everything ready?"

"Rest assured, everything is prepared. Once he enters that incorrect blood, we can capture him. But... Fourth Brother, isn’t taking this risk a bit too high?" Gold Cicada expressed concern.

"There’s no other way, to defeat my disciple, this is the only method." Silvio Reed said helplessly: "That kid, his growth is too rapid."

"To seize the Blood Soul Emperor, only you would dare to do such a thing." Gold Cicada shivered with sweat.

If an incident occurs, Blood Soul Emperor only needs to act, and he could kill them all.

"Seeking fortune amidst danger is better than watching Julius Reed grow ever stronger. Implement immediately, ensure no mistakes."

Silvio Reed said, and his ear suddenly twitched.

"My disciple has arrived. Let’s complete this early tomorrow."

He could distinctly sense Julius Reed gradually approaching.

"I certainly won’t let this kid ruin the plan!"

He clenched his fist, feeling a bit regretful.

The choice he made back then has now become a stumbling block on his road to success.

"Has my guard rallied?"

He looked towards Gold Cicada.

"Fully assembled, rest assured, these people have tremendous fighting capability!" Gold Cicada nodded.

"Around the outskirts of Nine Provinces Tomb tomorrow, not even a fly gets in! Understand?"

Silvio Reed reiterated once more.

If this matter fails again, he will lose everything!

And within the room, Blood Soul Emperor remained oblivious to anyone daring to plot against him.
