Chapter 29: Blood Clothes Tower

ach other.>The snowflakes in the Hanxuezhu seem inexhaustible, falling continuously to replenish what is lost.With the help of his magical artifact, Qin Sang didn't need to constantly focus on maintai...Qin Sang learned from Ji Xin Dao Chang that not all immortals secluded themselves in cultivation. Unexpectedly, the connection between immortals and the mortal world was deeper than he imagined, even extending to the recognition required from an immortal by a nation's ruler.

But upon closer thought, this is also to be expected.

"That's incorrect. Immortal masters do not interfere in mundane affairs. If one wishes to become an emperor, they must be the final ruler who unifies the world before being acknowledged by immortal masters. During the battle for supremacy, no one can receive help from immortal masters. The same applies..."

Bai Jianglan said solemnly, "If a ruler lacks the ability and is overthrown by others, even immortals will not interfere."

Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat, hearing the implied meaning, and whispered, "Does Your Highness..."

Bai Jianglan frankly admitted, "Brother Qin stayed in the王府 and didn't know much. Some time ago, the King personally wrote a letter to denounce the False Emperor, listing the False Emperor's cruel and incompetent acts. The tyrannical ruler caused natural disasters, leaving the people suffering and the Sui Dynasty's five hundred years of foundation crumbling. Now that the edict has spread throughout the land, thirteen prefectures of the Sui Dynasty, excluding the three prefectures under the control of the False Emperor, have all responded. The King himself led troops to attack the False Emperor, and the King of Water submitted to the King, with two prefectures uniting their forces, their military might pointing directly at Yingnan Prefecture. I went back and forth between the governor and the princess, precisely to facilitate this matter. Now that heroes are emerging on all sides, it is a great opportunity to achieve fame and fortune."

Qin Sang secretly thought to himself that King Dongyang was quick to act!

A month ago, there wasn't even a hint of it. But just this past month, it has swept across the land, gathering momentum and leading an uprising.

If one is not infatuated with immortality, this time truly is the best opportunity to make a name for oneself and achieve great things. One might even have a chance to become a nobleman and enjoy a lifetime of wealth and prosperity.

Bai Jianglan glanced at Qin Sang and slowly said, "When the new emperor ascends the throne, he can choose trusted ministers to be enfeoffed together on Mount Chaosheng..."

Qin Sang suddenly raised his head, seeing Bai Jianglan smile without speaking, and asked in a deep voice, "What can I do for the county princess"

Although he has the King of Hell, in the cultivation world, he's not even considered an entry-level cultivator. Hiding among mortals and plotting slowly is the most secure approach.

Bai Jianglan smiled faintly, dipped his finger in water and wrote three characters on the table—Xueyi Lou!

Bai Jianglan lowered his voice, “After the King issued an edict, the emperor's lackey Jiangshanlou invaded Dongyang County in large numbers, hiding in secret and carrying out acts of destruction, assassination, and espionage. Jiangshanlou has become a cancerous tumor, impossible to ignore! Ten days ago, King Zhen Shui was almost assassinated by an assassin, causing widespread panic. The King was furious, and the county princess suggested forming Xue Yilou to confront Jiangshanlou head-on, eliminating them would not only sever the emperor's lackey's connections but also cut off a crucial source of intelligence for the false emperor. Besides, Xue Yilou is also responsible for infiltrating enemy ranks and gathering military intelligence…”

Upon hearing this, Qin Sang secretly sighed. In the end, it was all about getting him into the spy organization.

The heightened senses bestowed by the Netherworld Scriptures and the ability to interrogate enemies with the Yama Banner are indeed perfect for this.

"Who will be the landlord Big Brother Bai, or Old Master Yue"

“I will not enter the Blood-Robed Pavilion,” Bai Jianglan shook his head, “The master of the Blood-Robed Pavilion is Heihe Zhenren, the personal guard commander of the Prince. This man’s origins are mysterious, with internal energy that is divine and transformative, his light skills are like a ghost. Both Yue Lao and I feel inferior to him. However, under the master of the Blood-Robed Pavilion, there will be four protectors, and Yue Lao is among them.”

Qin Sang was puzzled, "Big Brother Bai, your martial arts are so high, why..."

Bai Jianglan sighed softly, "Back then, I didn't want to implicate my wife and children. I severed my toes and ended the martial arts feud, retreating into the palace, and had already lost the ambition to make a name for myself. Now, I only wish to stay by the county lord's side as a bodyguard and spend my life peacefully. I don't want to get involved in martial affairs anymore. However, some of my brothers under my command are not content with mediocrity and will join the Blood Clothes Building. Then, I will need Brother Qin's help to look after them. Although Brother Qin is not a top expert in the martial arts world, your skills are indeed something ordinary people don't have. The Blood Clothes Building needs you very much. The county lord once wanted Brother Qin to be her personal guard, but she was worried that it would be too much of a waste of talent, so she hesitated to make a decision. Later, the county lord asked me for advice about the Blood Clothes Building, and I immediately thought of you."

Qin Sang smiled wryly, "Brother Bai really thinks too highly of me. I'm afraid my abilities are too low and I might mess things up for the prince and the princess."

Bai Jianglan let out a chuckle. "Brother Qin, don't be so modest! The reputation of Jiangshanlou in the martial world, even the county princess knows it well, how could I not Before Brother Qin, Bai has never heard of anyone who could pry information from those madmen at Jiangshanlou..."

Qin Sang was startled when he heard this.

"But Bai Jianglan waved his hand, "Everyone has secrets. As long as Brother Qin is loyal to the Princess and the Prince, I won't interfere. Let's not waste time. The Bloodclothed Building is newly established, so all affairs will be handled by the Dharma Protector. The Princess and Yue Lao want to divide into two altars: one, the Yin Altar, will spread throughout the rivers and lakes, targeting Jiangshan Lou; the other, a military altar, will go deep into the front lines to gather intelligence. Brother Qin can consider which altar he wants to serve."

Qin Sang then fell silent, frowning in thought.

Above the Grand Sui, there were immortals watching. Qin Sang knew it was best not to flip the table, otherwise, what he might attract wasn't fairy fate but a deadly disaster.

Whether or not to join the Xueyi Building is a matter of two possibilities. But through the ritual of sealing heaven and earth, contacting celestial masters seems to be the only visible path to seeking immortality at present.

Of the battlefield and the divination platform, the latter is undoubtedly most suitable for him. The battlefield requires going deep into the front lines, although there are many military exploits, but war is ruthless, perhaps a stray arrow could take his life.

But Qin Sang's mind was on the Soul Pill. To him, the Soul Pill was the top priority, and he couldn't miss any chance to collect it.

Where are there the most souls

Battleground!

Enters the battlefield, using the cover of a commoner's identity to gather souls on the battlefield. While enhancing his cultivation, he also plots schemes. Even if it's not for seeking immortality, it can solve the biggest problem at hand, just need to be more careful.

"Brother Qin, are you going to join the military"

A look of surprise flashed across Bai Jianglan's face. He was somewhat surprised by the choice, but since Qin Sang had made it himself, he didn't say anything more.

"Qin brother, get ready. I'll report back to the county princess right away. The preparations for the Blood-clothed Pavilion are nearing completion, and there will be a major move in a few days."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After Bai Jianglan left, Qin Sang sat alone in deep thought for a long time.

He had envisioned his future, becoming an official, a favored courtier, or someone close to a county lord, as long as he had the chance to be near immortals, he could endure anything.

Never thought I'd become a spy, secret agent, or even an assassin.

Given the nature of this act, it's self-evident how dangerous it is. Even with the King of Hell protecting you, there's no guarantee of absolute safety.

After much deliberation, Qin Sang made up his mind. After joining the Blood Clothes Building, all his actions would be based on not hindering his cultivation and always prioritizing his own safety.

Rather than risking failure, I would never put myself in danger. But if I do accomplish something, I want all the credit and to be recognized for it openly, not some nameless hero working behind the scenes.

Besides, Qin Sang felt fortunate that he had been careful in his actions before, upon learning that there were cultivators watching from above the Great Sui. He secretly decided that from now on, whether it was collecting souls or killing people, he would have to be low-key, even more so than before. Unless absolutely necessary, he would not reveal his abilities casually.

If things go wrong, I can just disappear and flee to another country, start anew. After all, it's not like the Netherworld Sutra can be cultivated in a year or two anyway.

Making up his mind, Qin Sang instantly felt lighter. He picked up the ancient scroll on the table and began to look through it.

That evening, Old Yue came to visit.

After a long private conversation, Qin Sang packed up his belongings and, accompanied by Elder Yue, met with the county princess before quietly leaving the palace without a trace.
