"The people of jianghu are all amazed at the Li Family's ability to summon living names, soul-hooking and soul-snatching skills, but actually, these two abilities all come from the task of the Bloodstain Pond."

"However, the Li Family became wealthy, lost their killing instinct, can observe the grievance spectrum, and can engage in soul-hooking, but no one can take on the task of wielding this chopper, so they can only search outside."

"=They actually only have the ability to recommend, but the Li Family has great ambition, wanting to turn those who have received the task from the Bloodstain Pond into their own people, thus making the Li Family capable in summoning, capturing, and killing all in one."

"That God-given King came about this way."

"The Li Family, in matters relating to the Bloodstain Pond's authority, cannot suppress this person, but the Li Family found him in the mortal realm, changed his fate with Punishment Soul, and supported such a grasshead king, only regrettably, this God-given King rose with murderous intent, and might not hold the Li Family in regard."

"..."

Hu Ma listened to these words and could see that Miss Red Wine indeed did work on the Bloodstain Pond.

Then curiosity arose: "If there's sin on me, and that's why the Bloodstain Pond wants to take me, but my fate is such that killing me would backfire from heaven and earth."

"Being products of this world, how can there be such contradiction?"

Miss Red Wine smiled faintly and whispered: "Great evil is not an offense, great punishment does not kill."

"Everyone bears the cause and effect of grievances, as for grievance, it thinks you should die, as for cause and effect, your fate is too heavy, the principles of heaven and earth, naturally conflict yet complement each other, who can truly unravel this with one word?"

"It's only a matter of saying what is needed at the right time."

"..."

In the underworld, there is no space or distance, they came originally for the Bloodstain Pond, upon entering the underworld, only felt their bodies sinking.

Floating, shadowy clouds swirled before the eyes, once they regained clarity, they saw ahead a vast expanse of blood fog that instinctively made one's spirit shudder, but upon closer inspection, the blood fog seemed to faintly transform into carved beams and painted buildings.

Among the exquisite buildings, paper men and white banners hung everywhere, with stiff and blunt maid attires, dragging long skirts, walking around expressionlessly holding wine and food boxes.

As a whole, it all felt indescribably exquisite yet eerie, as if ornamented with gold and jewels, but it was a chopper.

Hu Ma's heart stirred: "That is..."

"We're here."

Miss Red Wine also lowered her voice cautiously: "The Bloodstain Pond doesn't truly exist, the underworld is merely an illusion, so the Bloodstain Pond can take any form."

"However, once the Li Family arrived, they used the Purple Qi of the mortal realm to manifest the Bloodstain Pond into their imagined form, to better understand and control this place."

"Naturally, because the Li Family's Purple Qi enveloped the Bloodstain Pond, they will definitely notice us as we approach!"

"Then we..."

"..."

"Charge in!"

Miss Red Wine stopped in advance outside, as if standing on a white silk-paved road, she looked ahead, seemingly assured, glanced at Er Guotou and Hu Ma and said, "But not relying on you."

Her gaze fell on Burning Blade: "Rely on him."

Burning Blade, this person, is not without skill, but when it comes to cultivation, he seems lacking compared to herself and Er Guotou...

"I am not like the others."

Burning Blade seemed to notice Hu Ma and Er Guotou's doubts, softly laughed: "I was unlucky when reincarnated, born into a bandit den."

"At the age of four or five, I was already learning to hold the blade, by six or seven, started killing people, in the end, as I killed, I grew to like it."

"Even my skills were learned through killing, so my killing instinct is stronger than yours, and in this place, cultivation is useless, a strong killing instinct is the most important."

"..."

Listening to his casual speaking, Hu Ma and Er Guotou felt his growth was arduous, their expressions slightly tense.

Er Guotou said: "Killing like this? It's even more reckless than Shousui, can this defeat the Impermanence Li Family?"

"Far from it!"

Miss Red Wine said: "Burning Blade's killing instinct is not shallow, if he were a native, he might become a merciless fiend, but unfortunately, he is still constrained by past life cognition, forever crossing that baseline."

"In the Bloodstain Pond, those who received tasks at least number in the dozens or hundreds, with only this bit of killing instinct, he might not even make it into the top ten!"

"As for that God-given King, it's precisely because he himself has a top-notch killing instinct that the Li Family chose him, how can he compete?"

"..."

Hu Ma was slightly stunned: "Then you..."

"That's why we need the trickster door's methods, to lend him a hand..."

Miss Red Wine slowly turned around, Burning Blade was already prepared, calmly looking at her, and watched Miss Red Wine flick a few silver needles from her fingertips, looking into Burning Blade's eyes.

In a low voice: "I am about to place these two silver needles into your eyes, are you afraid?"

Burning Blade laughed softly: "If you can take them out, then I am not afraid."

Miss Red Wine also chuckled: "These two needles are the Yin Yang Deceiving Heart Needles, one positive and one negative, placed into your eyes, one deceives the shadows, one deceives yourself."

"Using these needles, you will become a person with monstrous killing instincts, until I remove the silver needles, you won't remember who you are."

"..."

Burning Blade was even somewhat impatient: "Hurry up, it's quite cold here, and I haven't put on extra clothing."

Seeing Miss Red Wine pick up the silver needles, intending to cast them on Burning Blade here, Burning Blade appeared calm, while Hu Ma and Er Guotou clearly felt a bit anxious, restless, asking: "Who will you turn him into?"

"To kill all surrendered soldiers, hot blood flowing, determined to flaunt spear and blade."

"A person who no longer exists in this world but, in ours, has monstrous killing aura, a sea of blood overturning."

Miss Red Wine spoke in low tones, squinting, the silver needles in her hand piercing towards Burning Blade's eyes, her voice chilling: "Slaughtered forty thousand Zhao soldiers, infamous throughout the world..."

"...General Ren Tu, Killing God Bai Qi!"
