A wicked smile appeared on Tu Xiao'an's face. 'The monk can run, but the temple can't.'
Sooner or later, he would catch that Blackbird again.
He'd never failed to capture a Cultivated Creature he set his sights on, and he wasn't about to let that record be broken.
Blissfully unaware of the roiling undercurrents in the Yaoling Mountain Range, Tu Xiao'an spent his days leisurely watching over his clone.
'Soon, so soon! It's almost ready!'
Time passed, and Tu Xiao'an constantly observed the clone gestating within the ball of light. This continued until a particular day one month later.
BOOM!
The ball of light within the Ten Thousand Blood Pool exploded. The earth shook, and the blast sent thousand-layered waves surging through the blood.
The Snake Demon Spirit guarding the entrance noticed the violent commotion and pursed its lips, muttering to itself, "Lord Snake King is far too restless. At this rate, he'll destroy the Ten Thousand Blood Pool sooner or later."
