Giving a Plum in Return for a Peach

In the Central Capital's royal family, a ghostly black shadow stood in the depths of the dark void.

Thick sanguine qi pervaded all around him, giving people a kind of extremely bizarre sensation.

Even though the sanguine power in Zhao Chenggan's body was thick, compared to this, it paled in comparison.

Those sanguine qi all flowed out from one small flask after another, converging onto that black shadow's hand.

Looking over closely, that black shadow's hand was actually holding a clear bead. And that bead, because large quantities of sanguine power came together, it gradually became a dark red color.

After a long while, that bead became a blood bead.

While those sanguine power inside each one of those small bottles were already absorbed clean!

Those small bottles were precisely that kind which Ye Yuan saw outside of Crimsonlight City.
