Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Number Two, who holds a grudge, vows to set the Yasukuni Divine Latrine on fire!
In the deep mountains somewhere in Shenglong State.
Number Two sat, cross-legged, with a grim expression, in a cave by the edge of a cliff.
“Damn Wokou Onmyoji! They can actually locate me through bloodline tracking. I’ve suffered a huge loss this time.”
Number Two looked at a puppet doll on the ground, broken into dozens of pieces, with anger on her face, but worry as well.
Since escaping from the martial trial instance, she had avoided the heretical sect’s surveillance by using more than a dozen puppet dolls crafted in her likeness to escape, leading her to Shenglong State.
Unexpectedly, within just a few days, over a dozen puppet dolls were lost, and her whereabouts were mysteriously exposed.
To shake off her pursuers, she kept creating new puppet dolls while fleeing into the wild and deep forests of the mountains.
However, if she stayed in one place for more than an hour, she would definitely be detected by the trackers, who would quickly close in on her.
Being hunted down in Shenglong State for over ten days finally led her to deduce the method of her pursuers’ tracking.
They were pinpointing her location through a blood magic curse, using her own blood.
To get rid of them, she had to either mask her bloodline aura or destroy the blood samples they had obtained from her.
The former was impossible for her; after awakening her Bloodline Power, she could control her own bloodline and even use it to help others awaken, but she just couldn’t conceal her bloodline aura.
As for the latter, she was equally incapable; after all, her current strength resided in her auxiliary abilities, with weak offensive power. Unless she was given time to inscribe a formation, attempting to destroy her blood sample in enemy hands was akin to delivering herself to death’s door.
“Escaping these past days, I’ve noticed they’ve laid many ambushes in the direction of the capital. If I want to enter the capital, I must avoid this area.”
But with just an hour before the enemy could locate her again, there wasn’t enough time to take a detour.
“Damn it, looks like I’ll have to deplete my Bloodline Power to create a bloodline puppet doll and lead the pursuers away. This really is a terrible loss!”
Grinding her teeth in secret, Number Two’s eyes blazed with fury as she pulled out a blood-red puppet doll from her Spatial Backpack.
“Ying Xueji, you better not screw me over. If the compensation isn’t enough to make up for the depletion of my bloodline, I’ll have no choice but to sell myself to Zi Liyuan.”
Just the thought of that alluring devil, and how he managed a 1V4, pinning Li Fengwen and his group to the ground for a beating, even forcing a Covenant Under the City, made the corners of Number Two’s mouth twitch into an involuntary smirk.
What a big sap Devil, even daring to promise to cover all her Bloodline Advancement’s Lord’s Hearts in the future, as long as she signed the Boundary Sea Contract.
Given that a Lord’s Heart is absolutely priceless on Blue Star, the number of Lord’s Hearts she would need to advance her bloodline wasn’t as simple as one or two—it was dozens, perhaps hundreds!
“I’ve finally come across such a foolhardy devil; if I get out of this, I’m willing to be yours!”
Number Two slammed her palm on her chest, and with a fiery passionate pout, a mouthful of blood spurted out, splashing onto the blood-red puppet doll.
Then, holding the puppet doll with both hands, the Bloodline Power inside her surged, condensing into inscriptions that rapidly burrowed into the body of the doll.
The puppet doll, originally no larger than a palm, began to elongate and grow as the inscriptions infused into it, slowly transforming into the likeness of Number Two.

“With 99% of my Bloodline Power injected into this Bloodline Puppet, I refuse to believe that you can keep tracking my true self!”
Her Spirit surged, as she endured the excruciating pain caused by the soul-tearing secret technique, and manipulated the Bloodline Puppet that had taken on her appearance. With a flip, she emerged from the cliffside cave.
“The last tracking pinpoint was half an hour ago. I’ll just wait here fearlessly, letting the Bloodline Puppet burrow deeper into the remote mountains and forests. Hopefully, it can lure out a few Fourth Order monster bosses to kill off the trackers!”
She took out an Array Plate, wincing at the thought of extracting a medium-grade Spiritual Power crystal and embedding it into the missing slot at the center of the plate.
“10W Dragon Coins each! I’ve slaved away undercover, and my entire fortune isn’t even 1000W Dragon Coins. The materials for a dozen puppet dolls and one Bloodline Puppet alone cost me 500W. I will have my revenge for this debt sooner or later!”
Grieving over her dwindling purse, she gritted her teeth, activated the Array Plate with her Spiritual Power, and a three-meter wave ripple immediately spread, enveloping her within.
The aura of Bloodline Power couldn’t be completely concealed, but through the cover of water elements, it could significantly dilute the aura of Bloodline Power.
Now that she had transferred 99% of her Bloodline Power into the Bloodline Puppet’s body and with this Formation as cover, she was able to avoid the enemy’s Bloodline tracking.
“Once I enter the Capital and complete the transaction with Ying Xueji and the others, I’ll immediately go find Zi Liyuan. Even if I have to sell myself, I must ensure a high price—at least 1 billion Dragon Coins for a settlement fee, and he also has to help me get revenge. Plus, all the Lord’s Hearts I’ll need for Bloodline advancement in the future must be covered!”
Thinking of Zi Liyuan’s perverted ways, especially that puppet named Lao Tie, killing off the trackers would be a piece of cake. Even taking him to destroy a few Heretic Sect strongholds wouldn’t be difficult at all.
“There’s nothing worthwhile destroying in the Great Xia Empire, but when the time comes, I’ll coax Zi Liyuan into going to the Wokou’s country, and set fire to the Yasukuni Divine Latrine!
Don’t those Onmyoji from the Wokou country claim to have sealed eight million spirits?
Then let Zi Liyuan, the Necromancer, cause an Undead catastrophe in the Wokou country!
It’d be best if they could make Mount Fuji erupt, breaking the seals!
I want to witness the power of eight million rampaging spirits wreaking havoc throughout their country, letting the little sun nation enjoy a ghostly delight!”
Women are petty and vengeful creatures; cross them, and there are no good outcomes.
And here No. 2 had not even secured her escape, yet she had already figured out her plans of vengeance.
But, if she really did sell herself to Lord Zi, Zi Liyuan would not mind taking a trip to the little sun nation, to take a look at their special industry, and incidentally cause an Undead catastrophe for their enjoyment.
After all, when they traveled from Jiangnan Province to Shenglong State on the floating airship, they were ambushed by Onmyoji.
Ever since the Great Qin’s Xu Fu defected, Onmyoji became a characteristic profession of the Wokou country.
Their attack on the airship was just a feint; their real intention was to kidnap him, so the feud had long been established.
It was just that Zi Liyuan’s current strength wasn’t sufficient; he hadn’t even tamed and branded several Fourth Order ghosts that he had sealed.
But once his strength was ample, he would surely visit the little sun nation, to see what collectible items they had that could be legitimately packed up and brought back.
No. 2 waited a full half hour until she felt a faint tug on the weakening Bloodline Power within her body, and finally, a long-absent smile appeared on her face.
