1 bloodline per second, awaken the ancient holy body, I will rule forever

The beautiful woman felt a tearing pain in her soul, screamed miserably, and begged for mercy:

"Master, please spare my life!"

Qin Mu then stopped, frowned, and asked:

"What's your name, and which sect are you from?"

The beautiful woman smiled bitterly and said:

"My name is Yin Lizhen, and I am the elder of Baihua Valley."

Yin Lizhen...this name is quite interesting.

Qin Mu asked again, "Yin Lizhen, do you know where the Insect Sect is stationed?"

Yin Lizhen's eyes showed a hint of doubt, but she quickly replied, "I know where the Insect Sect's headquarters is!"

Qin Mu said directly: "Take me there."

Yin Lizhen nodded gently, and said softly: "Well, please follow me, Master."

Qin Mu did not stay here for long. He quickly changed his body shape and appearance and followed Yin Lizhen to the Insect Sect's base.

He tried every possible way to sneak in, and then seize the other volumes of "The True Method of Gu Refining" to see if he could find other black gold fragments.

Half a day flew by.

Qin Mu also followed Yin Lizhen to the Chongzong headquarters.

As a third-rate sect, the Chong Sect itself is not that great, occupying only a valley with relatively rich Xuan Qi.

Qin Mu looked at the valley from a distant hilltop, and asked Yin Lizhen beside him:

"How many martial commander-level warriors does the Chong Sect have now?"

Yin Lizhen hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I only know that the sect leader and deputy sect leader are both mid-stage martial commanders."

"And the Chongzong's Grand Elder is traveling abroad, striving to find an opportunity to break through to the Martial King realm. It's said that he has been away from worldly affairs for a long time... but I believe he has reached the late stage of Martial Marshal cultivation by now."

Qin Mu nodded: "Then I have nothing to fear."

"By the way, if I want to enter the Insect Sect and seize their secret manuals, do you have any suggestions?"

Yin Lizhen hesitated for a moment.

But she thought that she and Qin Mu were now in the same boat, so she had no grudges.

She also gave some sincere advice:

"If you are going to seize the secret manual from their sect, it is best to go there at night."

"Because this valley is called the Valley of a Hundred Insects, there are many insects, snakes and ferocious beasts at night, including some powerful monsters. Therefore, I will reduce the patrol area. Then it will be easier for you to enter, Master."

"Also, I suggest you sneak in from the back mountain."

"If you're looking for a specific secret manual, you can directly capture a core disciple of the sect and ask about it. After confirming the information, you can make other plans."

Qin Mu nodded when he heard Yin Lizhen's words:

"You do have a point."

Then, a cold look flashed in Qin Mu's eyes.

Yin Lizhen, who had been carefully observing Qin Mu's expression, felt her scalp tingling when she saw Qin Mu like this.

She quickly said, "Master, spare my life!"

Qin Mu glanced at her indifferently: "You, a witch, are not a good person either. Getting rid of you is also a good deed."

Yin Lizhen had a sad face and said, "Master, the people I dealt with were not good people... and I never attack mortals."

"Besides, keeping me here will be useful to you!"

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows: "What use can it be?"

Yin Lizhen gritted her teeth and said:

"I am at least considered an elder of the Northern Hundred Flower Valley."

"If someone wants to deal with you, or if you need me to gather intelligence for you, I can be of use!"

When Qin Mu heard this, he hesitated a little.

The reason is simple, Yin Lizhen is not wrong.

She can indeed play a similar role.

After considering it for a moment, Qin Mu said, "I can spare your life."

"But I'm afraid I'll have to go to Daqian in the future. Although I expect to return as soon as possible, I need your help gathering some information for me in Beihuang."

Then, Qin Mu briefly explained his requirements.

For example, asking her to keep her mouth shut.

Yin Lizhen was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded: "My life and property are in the hands of my master, so I naturally dare not engage in any conspiracy or trickery."

"As for communication, Master, since you have obtained my blood seal of self-sacrifice, you can communicate with me through the air using the power of your soul."

Qin Mu nodded: "Okay, you can go now."

Yin Lizhen, who had saved his life, felt a little relieved and left here quickly.

After Qin Mu considered it for a while, he also prepared to wait for dark.

When that time comes, he will sneak into the Insect Sect from the back mountain.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the golden crow set in the west and the cold toad rose in the east.

Shadows covered the valley, and Qin Mu took out his invisible cloak, put it on, and sneaked into the back mountain.

There are indeed many monsters, snakes and insects in the back mountain, but Qin Mu's invisible cloak can prevent him from being tracked by the King of Martial Arts-level strongmen.

However, there were obviously no Martial King-level monsters in this valley, so Qin Mu had a smooth journey.

Not long after, he met a patrol team.

The strength of this team is not strong, and the leader is only a mid-level martial arts cultivator.

Not to mention seeing through Qin Mu's disguise, Qin Mu could easily kill these people even with force.

So after Qin Mu waited for them to leave, he quickly sneaked into the Insect Sect's headquarters.

After searching around, Qin Mu finally found the place where the inner sect disciples were suspected to live.

Qin Mu quietly sneaked into a room.

Then, he saw a young man who was training and raising insect beasts.

In front of him was a large jar filled with dense scorpions, and beside him were a dozen monks kneeling on the ground, trembling.

Qin Mu took a look and found that although these practitioners were quite powerful, the aura in their bodies seemed a little abnormal.

Their cultivation seemed to have been improved by forcing things to grow faster rather than by building up their skills step by step.

Qin Mu frowned slightly.

Could it be that these practitioners were just cultivated by the Insect Sect using quick success methods?

And looking at their current situation, it feels the same.

Sure enough, the young man raised his hand and cut the wrist of one of the monks with a knife.

Blood gushed out and was absorbed by his mysterious energy, falling into the big jar.

The scorpions inside also became energetic in an instant, and frantically devoured the blood that contained abundant mysterious energy and was a great tonic for them.

There was also a hint of murderous intent in Qin Mu's expression.

This Insect Sect is really despicable!

Without thinking much, he raised his hand and slapped him.

The true disciple was only at the mid-stage of military commander, which was not much different from Qin Mu. He was directly grabbed by the neck by Qin Mu's palm.

The expressions of several "blood slave practitioners" nearby also changed slightly, but before they could say anything, they were knocked unconscious by Qin Mu.

The true disciple's body was shaking like sieve chaff.

Qin Mu said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to die, answer a few questions for me."

The true disciple gritted his teeth and shouted.

Qin Mu sneered, "Don't worry, I've put restrictions all around here. Forget about you shouting, even if you use a communication talisman, you won't be able to send any information!"

The true disciple's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, just ask whatever you want to ask!"

"I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything I know."

Qin Mu sneered and asked directly, "Do you know the technique 'Gu Lian Zhen Fa'?"

Hearing this, the true disciple's expression changed, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes:

"Why do you ask this..."

"Don't worry about why I'm asking this." Qin Mu interrupted him and said, "You just need to tell me where to find the original copy of 'The True Method of Gu Refining'!"

The true disciple's eyes were tense, but seeing Qin Mu's face as cold as ice, he could only say:

"The original copy of the Gu Refining Method is only in the possession of the Sect Master and the Deputy Sect Master..."

Qin Mu frowned: "Is that really the case?"

The true disciple said with a mournful face, "That's natural."

"The reason is simple. The original copy of 'The True Method of Gu Refining' was said to have been made using special methods, and it's impossible to copy its contents onto other books or Jade Pupil Tablets!"

"Furthermore, it is said that the Gu Refining Method can only be practiced by martial arts masters..."

"It's useless for ordinary disciples like us to take it!"

Qin Mu's mind moved: "What about the Supreme Elder? Doesn't he have it in his hand?"

The true disciple smiled bitterly and said:

"The Grand Elder left the sect long ago and traveled far away. His Gu technique has also reached its peak, so he no longer needs to study the 'True Gu Refining Method'!"

Qin Mu nodded, and after asking where the sect leader was, he squeezed his palm.

Feeling the severe pain in his neck, the true disciple's eyes were full of disbelief, but he immediately lost his breath.

Qin Mu casually threw his limp body aside and cast a sleeping spell on those blood slaves.
