In Lin Chen's office, Lin Chen personally poured a glass of water for Sun Yixiao.

"Senior, with your skills, who could ever catch you? Don't tell me you went to steal treasures from the Demon Emperor's family?"

Sun Yixiao chuckled, "Not exactly, but not far from it."

What Lin Chen said was just a casual remark, but hearing Sun Yixiao's response, he became intrigued and scooted his chair closer to Sun Yixiao.

"Tell me... don't worry, there is an Array Formation here, no one can overhear us."

Sun Yixiao replied, "Now you are the Vice Corps Commander, a hero returned from the Demon World, there is no harm in telling you, because we also went to the Demon World."

Lin Chen's eyes widened, "Isn't the passage personally guarded by the Little Demon Emperor? How did you guys manage to come and go?"

Sun Yixiao chuckled, "That's a secret. I can't tell you."

Lin Chen didn't press any further and laughed, "Alright, then talk about something else. What did you guys do in the Demon World?"

Sun Yixiao answered, "We went to Blood Saint's lair and sneaked against one of his Magical Treasures."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in shock.

"Blood Saint?"

Sun Yixiao had a bit of pride in his eyes, "Heh heh, yes, you heard correctly, one of the Demon World Saints, the Blood Saint!"

Lin Chen looked Sun Yixiao up and down, "Senior, I know your Stealing Technique is unrivaled, but aren't you being a bit too arrogant? Daring to target a Saint, are you really not afraid of death?"

Sun Yixiao let out a proud laugh, "Just say it's impressive or not?"

Lin Chen chuckled and thought about it for a bit, then said with a laugh, "Since you dared to target Blood Saint, there must be a Saint here who took action as well. Otherwise, with your cautious nature, you wouldn't engage in such a big endeavor. Succeeding would indeed bring fame and extraordinary achievements, but if you failed, you'd be erased from the human world..."

Sun Yixiao's smile on his face stiffened, and he huffed, "Even if a Saint was involved, being able to act against a Saint and succeed, isn't that impressive enough?"

"Impressive! Impressive!"

Lin Chen sincerely admired, "Being able to take action is already impressive; succeeding is even more so. Truly, Senior, tell me about it!"

Sun Yixiao, flattered by Lin Chen's genuine admiration, immediately felt more at ease.

"Alright, since you've asked so sincerely, I shall be merciful and tell you all about it!"

Sun Yixiao grabbed a bottle of water, drank a big gulp, and began vividly narrating the mission: "Previously, the Demon Emperor and the Immortal Emperor had a skirmish and no victor emerged. The Demon Emperor then decided to bring in the Shadow Saint and the Blood Saint, planning to strike with a Thunderbolt while our side's Saints had not yet fully unified their opinions, intending to determine the winner in one fell swoop."

"On the side of the Immortal Emperor, the Mixed Element Saint was enlisted to help, but the Bodhi Saint did not agree to make a move for a while. The Immortal Emperor, worried that war might erupt and that fighting two against three would be too disadvantageous and likely result in defeat, thought of a strategy: feign an action in one place while attacking another."

"The Immortal Emperor made a firm appearance, putting on a front that he had completely recovered, casting doubt on the Shadow Saint and the Blood Saint, making them hesitant to join the battle. At that time, the Mixed Element Saint took a few of us and headed straight for the Blood Saint's lair."

"The Blood Saint is skilled in the Path of Blood. Beneath his Cave Mansion, he built a Blood Pool, and his Life-bound Magical Treasure, the Soul Devouring Blood God Pearl, has always been nurtured within this Blood Pool, absorbing the power of blood to enhance its own might."

"This Blood Pool took the Blood Saint tens of thousands of years to create, fusing countless natural treasures, and is extremely important to the Blood Saint. Our goal this time is to destroy the Blood Pool, contaminate the Soul Devouring Blood God Pearl—this pearl is the Blood Saint's Life-bound Magical Treasure. Losing the Soul Devouring Blood God Pearl will cause at least a thirty percent decrease in the Blood Saint's strength!"

"Even among Saints, it's uncertain who would win in an all-out battle, but if one side loses thirty percent of their strength, only retaining seventy percent, then that side is bound to be defeated. So long as our mission is successful, the Blood Saint, for his own sake, would certainly not join this melee before the Soul Devouring Blood God Pearl recovers. Instead, he should find a place to hide and silently heal until he is fully recovered."

"Upon reaching the Blood Saint's residence, the Mixed Element Saint lured the Blood Saint out, getting him away from the Blood Pool. Then, the few of us took the opportunity to sneak into the Blood Saint's den. Ah, and the reason I was chosen is because I can slip through various Array Formations undetected, without alerting anyone."

"The Blood Saint was led away by the Mixed Element Saint, delaying him for a while. Then the Blood Saint suddenly realized he might have been tricked and headed back, but the Mixed Element Saint couldn't stop him..."

Sun Yixiao's expression showed a trace of fear from the past: "Luckily, the Blood Saint was a hair too slow. Had he returned to the Blood Pool just a few seconds earlier, our plan might have failed, and all of us who entered the Blood Pool would have surely met our deaths without a place to bury."

"Even after we completed the mission and made a swift retreat, we were still discovered by the Blood Saint. Swirling blood nearly engulfed us. Thankfully, the Mixed Element Saint arrived in time to block the Blood Saint. The Blood Saint, due to his Life-bound Magical Treasure being tainted, did not dare to clash with the Mixed Element Saint and immediately fled."

"Although the Blood Pool was not completely destroyed, it was severely damaged, and its efficacy greatly reduced. The Soul Devouring Blood God Pearl was contaminated, making the operation of the power of blood more difficult and obscure, leading to a significant reduction in the Blood Saint's power. Thus, our action this time can be considered a great success."

After listening to Sun Yixiao's story, Lin Chen couldn't help but show a pleased expression on his face: "If you've succeeded, doesn't that mean the Blood Saint will temporarily withdraw and not join forces with the Demon Emperor?"

Sun Yixiao laughed heartily: "It should be so. After all, victory or defeat is for others to worry about, and injuries are one's own. For a Saint, the only important thing in The World is oneself. Wars between realms are indeed important, but nothing is more important than oneself."

"With seventy percent of his Combat Power, joining this alliance and war might not necessarily lead to defeat, especially since the Bodhi Saint hasn't joined the battle yet. On the surface, it is still three against two, but I think the Blood Saint wouldn't dare to bet on it. What if, when a real battle breaks out, the Bodhi Saint suddenly appears? If it's three against three then, the Blood Saint would be truly unlucky."

Lin Chen instantly understood. If the Bodhi Saint truly joins the battle, then the Blood Saint, with only seventy percent of his Combat Power, would inevitably become the primary target, and in such a situation, even if the Blood Saint could escape, he'd suffer even more injuries.

While this was only a possibility, it was enough to make the Blood Saint stay far away and be extremely cautious.

Basically, until the Soul Devouring Blood God Pearl is restored, not only will the Blood Saint refrain from joining the battle, he will hide even more, not giving the Three Saints of the Immortal Realm any opportunity to find and target him.

With a laugh, Lin Chen said: "In that case, has the crisis in the Immortal Realm been temporarily averted?"

Sun Yixiao burst into laughter: "Yes, without the Blood Saint engaging, with the Great Wilderness Saint watching from the sidelines, even if the Demon Emperor and the Shadow Saint are willing, they still lack the hope of victory. Therefore, barring any major unforeseen circumstances, the battle between the Saints should not erupt for the time being."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief but suddenly his eyesight intensified: "If the Saints are no longer fighting, does that mean it's our turn to battle now?"
