On his way back to the film crew, Ye Xiu suddenly received a phone call from the Ghost Doctor.

"Master, I’ve deciphered the poison in the Extreme Abyss at Hundred Flowers Valley!"

"Oh?" Ye Xiu’s eyes lit up. "Are you sure?"

Initially, Ye Xiu had people collect samples of the Poisonous Spiritual Qi from all the lands guarded by the Totem Organization, along with the wildmen of Hundred Flowers Valley. He sent everything to Jin Ye City for the Ghost Doctor to study and find a way to neutralize the poisons.

The Ghost Doctor explained, "The Poisonous Spiritual Qi at each of the Totem Organization’s guarded locations is different. I was focusing my efforts on the Poisonous Spiritual Energy from the Extreme Abyss but struggled to analyze its properties. Today, while researching Kristina’s Golden Blood, I had a sudden idea to try using it for detoxification, and it actually worked."

Ye Xiu was startled. Kristina’s blood is the antidote to the poison from the Extreme Abyss?

He said, "Try using the Golden Blood to neutralize the other types of Poisonous Spiritual Energy."

"Okay!" the Ghost Doctor replied.

Ye Xiu was in high spirits. He had been deeply worried about the Poisonous Spiritual Energy in places like the Extreme Abyss, knowing that if it ever erupted, it would trigger a global extinction event. Now, he finally had a breakthrough.

The next day, the Ghost Doctor called again. "Master, the Golden Blood is indeed the nemesis of all Poisonous Spiritual Energy. However, to completely eradicate the sources, we’ll need a large amount of Golden Blood!"

Ye Xiu thought for a moment. "I’ll go draw some more from Kristina."

And so, Kristina’s tragedy began.

Every night, Ye Xiu would go and draw a tube of Kristina’s blood. Although this method of relentlessly fleecing a single sheep felt a bit wrong, Ye Xiu had no other choice. To prevent the extinction of humanity, Kristina had to suffer a little. After all, she was the only sheep available.

While Kristina was having her blood drawn by Ye Xiu every day, she wasn’t idle. Following Ye Xiu’s advice, she and Qiao Beiming went into the city and custom-ordered more than two thousand Huang Quan Suits. They had their followers secretly contact the Martial Artists in the mountains, accept them as disciples, teach them Cultivation Techniques, and order them to covertly search for members of the Restorer Alliance.

However, Meng Yinwan and her group of Restorer Alliance members had already gotten wind of the plan from Huang Quan and had slipped away to the county town to enjoy themselves.

Meanwhile, the Eternal Kingdom was plunged into absolute chaos. The electricity was out. The water was cut off. Jobs disappeared. The money in the banks vanished. The law no longer held any sway, leading to frequent riots and upheavals. The three Judicator Families ordered the King of the Eternal Kingdom to stabilize the social unrest as quickly as possible. They also instructed him to send people by boat to Tamwood City. They believed that once their men reached Tamwood City, they could call Kristina and Qiao Beiming to alter their plans.

But after an immense struggle that took several days and nearly getting lost at sea, the men finally arrived in Tamwood City, only to be captured alive by Ye Xiu’s subordinates.

On this day, the film crew finally completed their shoot in Nanjing. After personally seeing them off at the airport, Ye Xiu was about to return to the Wu Family Estate when he suddenly received a call from Meng Yinwan.

"Ye Xiu, I’ve caused trouble!"

"What happened?" Ye Xiu asked.

"I was shopping in the mall just now and ran into Kristina," Meng Yinwan said.

Ye Xiu’s face turned ashen. Forgetting about hailing a taxi, he sprinted toward the Wu Family Estate at full speed. If Kristina saw Meng Yinwan alive, she would instantly realize that my ’killing’ her was just a ruse. The enraged Kristina would undoubtedly lead her forces to the Wu Family Estate and Wu Family Fortress to vent her fury.

While running, Ye Xiu called You Ming. "Immediately cut the signal to Kristina’s and her people’s phones..."

"It’s too late," You Ming reported. "I was just about to inform you, Young Master. I intercepted a call from Kristina to Qiao Beiming. She told him to immediately bring his men to the Wu Family Estate, kill you, and massacre everyone in the Wu Family Estate and Wu Family Fortress."

This is bad! Ye Xiu hung up and immediately called Tang Bo. "Quick, tell everyone at the Wu Family Estate and Wu Family Fortress to find a place to hide! Hurry!"

"Big Bro, what’s happened?" Tang Bo asked.

"No time to explain, just go!" Ye Xiu urged, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Oh, okay..."

Ye Xiu hung up, his mind racing. The Eternal Kingdom had over two thousand people hiding in the mountains. Even at his top speed, he couldn’t possibly reach the Wu Family Estate before them. Moreover, if Tang Bo and the others tried to flee, they would very likely run right into Qiao Beiming’s group. What do I do? There’s no time! Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao!

An idea struck him. He called Meng Yinwan. "Capture Kristina alive. Then, use her phone to call Qiao Beiming. Tell him Kristina is in my hands. If he dares to touch a single hair on anyone from the Wu Family Estate or the Wu Family Fortress, I’ll chop Kristina into pieces. Oh, and don’t kill Ming Yue!"

"Got it!" Meng Yinwan replied.

「The mall!」

"Bastard! That bastard Ye Xiu, he’s been playing me for so long!" Kristina cursed furiously as she ran out of the building. "Kill him! I must kill him! Ye Xiu has to die, Qin Qing and Leng Yue have to die, and all his friends and family must die!"

Ming Yue, running behind Kristina, felt a wave of panic. If something irreversible happened because she went shopping with Kristina without reporting it, Ye Xiu might actually kill her.

Trying to buy time for Ye Xiu, she said, "Princess, Qiao Beiming and Lin Feng are already on their way to the Wu Family Estate. You don’t need to be in such a hurry."

"I want to see Ye Xiu right now!" Kristina screamed, having lost all reason in her rage. "I want to kill him with my own hands! I want to kill his family and friends with my own hands! I’m going to turn the Wu Family Estate and Wu Family Fortress into a bloodbath!"

Ming Yue frowned, about to text Ye Xiu and ask if she should capture Kristina herself. But just as she pulled out her phone, a ghost-like figure appeared behind her. A sharp blow landed on the back of her neck, and she crashed to the ground, unconscious.

"Kristina, where do you think you’re going?" Meng Yinwan asked, effortlessly catching up and clamping a hand around Kristina’s neck.

"You..." Kristina’s pretty face changed color. She had assumed that while she had seen Meng Yinwan, she herself had gone unnoticed. She never expected that Meng Yinwan had not only seen her but had also come after her.

"Call Qiao Beiming right now," Meng Yinwan said with a seductive smile. "Tell him you’ve fallen into Ye Xiu’s hands. If he dares to touch a single hair on anyone from the Wu Family Estate or the Wu Family Fortress, I’ll chop you into dumpling filling."

Kristina turned pale with fright. If I get chopped into pieces, I’ll definitely die, even with the Life Totem!

"Alright!" she choked out, taking out her phone.

「Elsewhere!」

Qiao Beiming and Lin Feng were at the Wu Family Estate. Qiao Beiming had been planning to discuss the search for the Restorer Alliance members with Ye Xiu, as days had passed with no leads. Upon receiving Kristina’s call, he flew into a rage.

He turned to Lin Feng and commanded, "Call the Eternal Kingdom immediately! Order the execution of Qin Qing and Leng Yue!"

"Right!" Lin Feng immediately took out the special phone used in the Eternal Kingdom and called Kristina’s bodyguard, Xue Man. However, the line was dead.

Lin Feng stared at the phone, stunned. "The call won’t go through."
