Chapter 3878: Fuming Mad (Revised)

nergy wouldn't exceed three people in total!And, those three people were all their elders.Even among those of the same generation, even if one could catch ten sesame seeds in ten breaths, a title give...Although Jiang Yun's voice was soft, it still clearly reached every corner of the vast building amidst the explosion. It reached everyone's ears, including Emperor Hu! However, Emperor Hu at this moment didn't have time to pay attention to Jiang Yun.

As soon as the explosion sounded, he and the other five elders of the City Lord's Mansion had already waved their sleeves together.

Six mighty forces surged toward the blood-sealed stone that had been shattered.

Six strands of power, converging together, formed an invisible shield, covering an area nearly a hundred meters in radius.

While explosions during the process of cleaving bloodseal stones are not common, they do occasionally occur. Therefore, any cultivator with experience will have some countermeasures in place.

Huangpu Yu did all of this with the intention of stopping the Blood Sealing Stone from exploding, or at least minimizing the blast's range and dissipating its power, in order to protect as much as possible what was inside the Blood Sealing Stone.

Despite their quick reaction and formidable power, everyone clearly saw his energy shield crumble under the immense force of the blood-sealed stone's explosion. Just a breath later, it shattered with a deafening roar.

Even the Royal Guard, including Huangfu Yi themselves, were affected by the blast. They were forced to stumble backward several steps before managing to stop.

Every single person's face was pale, with an unnatural flush of red appearing on their skin. They were all injured internally! Obviously, the power of the Blood Sealing Stone's explosion far exceeded the combined strength of the six of them! Instantly, a large amount of rubble shot out in all directions like a torrential downpour.

All cultivators hurriedly unleashed their power, trying to block the onslaught of rubble.

"Bang bang bang!"

The continuous thudding sounds rose one after another, deafening.

Fortunately, thanks to the actions of Huofang Yu and the six others just now, they helped block the explosion of Xuefeng Stone. Therefore, the power of these broken stones has been weakened a lot now, and no one was hurt.

But even so, many people's faces also showed expressions of fear.

No one ever expected that such a thrilling incident would occur at the appraisal meeting.

At last, when the explosive force had completely dissipated, they looked upon the devastation around them, a scene like the aftermath of a great battle. Everyone remained bewildered, none understanding what had just transpired.

However, someone remembered the words Ginger Cloud had said at the time of the explosion, and their attention shifted to him immediately.

Ginger Cloud, however, wore a carefree expression on his face, his eyes constantly scanning the remaining blood-sealed stones, as if already searching for the next target to bid on.

Huangfu Yu also came to his senses. He didn't have time to find trouble with Jiang Yun, but instead looked at Shang Zhenyu, who had the same pale face and a trace of blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth. He sternly asked, "What happened"

At this moment, Huangfu Yu was truly furious! The Blood-sealing Stone, worth sixteen million, had exploded right before his eyes, leaving all his schemes in vain.

Besides the rubble on the ground, there was nothing left! Even he found it hard to accept this result.

Although Shang Zhenyu was closest to the Blood Sealing Stone, as a stone cutter, she always remained vigilant and reacted faster than Emperor Fu Yi.

But she didn't have time to protect the Blood Sealing Stone, but instead protected herself.

Even so, she was still seriously injured.

Faced with Huangfu Yi's reprimand, Shang Zhenyu didn't even dare to wipe the blood from his lips. He hurriedly said to Huangfu Yi, "My lord, at the time of the explosion, I vaguely saw that there was a hook-shaped object inside the Blood Sealing Stone, but it was covered with numerous cracks."

"I suppose it's always been on the brink of collapse, a supernova just waiting to explode. But the emperor's blood and seals have kept it contained, holding back its devastation."

"And when I was cutting the Blood Seal Stone, I broke the seal, which rendered it ineffective, causing that thing to explode!"

Upon hearing Shang Zhenyu's explanation, everyone's faces lit up with understanding. Now they finally knew what had happened.

And such situations are also common.

Many things, especially some materials and elixirs, are contained within the Blood Sealing Stone. Because of the seal and the protection of the Emperor's blood, they may have been preserved completely. However, the moment the Blood Sealing Stone is cut open, they will directly weather and dissipate.

However, Shang Zhanyu said that the thing inside the blood-sealed stone was shaped like a hook, and it was probably not a material, but rather, as everyone had guessed before, it was... an imperial artifact! Even, a complete imperial artifact! Only a complete imperial artifact, after being bound for so many years, could explode and still possess such terrifying power, to the extent that even the combined strength of six Reincarnation Realm powerhouses was unable to suppress it.

At this moment, Huangfu Yi's face was turning pale and red alternately. He stood there, like a statue, silent as ever.

He believed that Shang Zhenyu wouldn't dare to lie to him and everything he said was true.

Complete Imperial Artifacts, throughout history, have only appeared three times in all the blood-sealed stones.

But just as the fourth complete Imperial Artifact was almost within his grasp, it vanished in an instant.

At the thought of this, his heart ached constantly! "My subordinates deserve to die!"

Shang Zhenyu had already knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Huangfu Yu repeatedly, begging for forgiveness.

Actually, the destruction of Blood Sealing Stone has nothing to do with her.

If anyone else had tried to cut in, they would have met the same fate. But she understood Emperor Fu's temper all too well.

If this Blood Sealing Stone was bought by Jiang Yun, it wouldn't be a big deal, but Jiang Yun has already given up. This Blood Sealing Stone now belongs to Emperor Yu. Destroying it would be a huge blow to Emperor Yu.

"Ho!"

Huangfu Yi took a deep breath, desperately suppressing the urge to kick Shang Zhenyu to death. "This isn't your fault. It's..." He stopped mid-sentence, his eyes suddenly blazing with murderous intent as he looked at Jiang Yun. "Xuan Yuan Yun, you just said something about it being a pity, didn't you"

"Why do you say that"

"Could it be that you've seen through it all along, that there's a divine artifact riddled with cracks inside, knowing it would explode when cut"

At this point, Emperor Hu's rationality, which had been temporarily lost due to gambling on jade before, finally returned.

But recalling everything Jiang Yun had done, especially his sudden abandonment when the Blood Sealing Stone was about to explode, he realized that perhaps he had been played by Jiang Yun

Jiang Yun actually knew long ago that there was a divinely crafted artifact covered in cracks inside. He knew that once it was cut open, the artifact would explode. Therefore, he deliberately kept raising the price, pretending to want to take the Blood Sealing Stone for himself, thus stimulating the other party to lose their rationality and lead to this current outcome! Emperor Hu's guess was right! Jiang Yun had seen through everything long ago, and moreover, Jiang Yun also had a way to ensure that after this artifact was cut out, it wouldn't be destroyed.

However, Huangfu Yu's constant ridicule and suppression of Jiang Yun made Jiang Yun simply use this imperial artifact as a tool to retaliate against Huangfu Yu.

At this moment, hearing Huangpu Yu's question, Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said: "Huangpu shopkeeper, some things can't be said casually!"

"If I really knew what was in the Blood Sealing Stone, wouldn't I have become rich a long time ago!"

"I just feel like there might be something good inside, that's why I keep raising the price."

What do you think

Huangfu Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Yun coldly, "Just because you think so, you dare to offer a price of 15 million without hesitation"

Why not

"Jiang Yun shrugged and said, 'The shop owner, Huangfu, said that I'm just a cultivator with a bit of luck. Since I'm lucky, I naturally want to take a gamble.'"

"Besides, fifteen million Emperor Source Stones are just half the bet of a gamble. It's gone, so it's gone. Anyway, someone will replenish it for me sooner or later!"

Speaking of this, Ginger Cloud suddenly looked at Su Qianchen and said, "Am I right, Master Su"

As she spoke, within Jiang Yun's body, the Ancient Suppressing Spear was poised and ready! could never be a match for Guan Zhifei.Kōng Xuèhǎi hurriedly spoke again: "Mèng'er, what nonsense are you talking about! Family matters are none of your concern!""Brother Kong, your words are mistake...
