Chapter 705: Eight Spirit Veins!
Violet looked at Fang Yu with his eyes closed, her purple eyes shimmering with light.
Ever since a mark was left inside her body, Violet often found herself in a state of frustration.
Even when she returned to her organization and carried out her daily work, she felt very uncomfortable, with a feeling of being watched at all times.
On the other hand, having her life tied to someone else’s hands made her, an extremely strong-willed person, feel unacceptable.
After leaving the Nine Provinces Country, she had searched through many materials, sought out many people, and tried many methods, but couldn’t remove the mark inside her body.
In fact, the situation was even worse. Forget about others, even she herself couldn’t detect the mark existing within her body.
The only confirmation of the mark’s existence was the immense pain Fang Yu caused her when he activated it.
Therefore, after a long time, Violet finally accepted her fate.
This mark could only be removed by Fang Yu; she couldn’t save herself.
Hearing Violet’s words, Fang Yu opened his eyes and turned to look at her.
“When I get to that place and find that you haven’t deceived me with false information, I’ll remove it for you. Isn’t this the normal transaction process? As the leader of an assassin organization, you must understand this, right?” Fang Yu frowned.
Violet gritted her teeth and said, “A transaction only happens when both parties are in an equal position…”
“Yes, so you have even less reason to be anxious. Because your life is in my hands. If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t even have a chance to resist,” Fang Yu said. “The fact that I’m negotiating with you now is already doing you a favor.”
Hearing these words, Violet’s anger flared up again.
If she could, she would really want to tear this annoying person in front of her into pieces!
But the reality was that she neither had the possibility nor the ability to do so.
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”
Violet felt extremely frustrated.
In her life, except for some hardships in her childhood, everything else had been smooth sailing.
Especially after obtaining that energy core, she had risen to become the Queen of Assassins, famous throughout the dark world.
But this year, starting from taking that job from the Yang family in Jiangnan, this situation had come to an end!
The first time she confronted Fang Yu, she was utterly defeated.
The second time she wanted to carry out a mission to capture the brothers Ares and Apollo, Fang Yu interfered and she failed. Moreover, she herself was caught.
A mark capable of easily taking her life was left on her body, and now to remove it, she could only depend on Fang Yu’s mood, without any room for struggle.
If everyone’s life is destined to encounter a major villain… Violet’s major villain was Fang Yu.
And this villain had completely overwhelmed her, leaving her without even the courage to resist.
Violet’s expression changed constantly, wanting to say something but not speaking.
Fang Yu ignored her, leaned back on the sofa, and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
Violet stared intently at Fang Yu, and after a few seconds, she stood up, walked to the cabin door, and looked at the clouds outside.
An hour later, the three of them jumped from the private plane again, landing on a wild mountain range.
The surroundings were all green, looking quite vibrant.
In front of the three was a cave.
“Walk inside and go down, that’s where the power core collection point is,” Violet said, taking the lead and entering the cave.
She was now very anxious, just wanting to quickly take Fang Yu down there and then have the mark on her body removed.
Fang Yu and Bai Ran followed behind Violet, entering the cave.
Deep in the cave, there was a hole in the ground about the size of a well.
And on the hole was an elevator platform.
Violet kicked the elevator platform, making it fall, and then jumped down.
Fang Yu didn’t follow immediately, his brows tightly furrowed.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Fang?” Bai Ran asked.
Fang Yu didn’t speak, but his mind was full of doubts.
First, he couldn’t sense any spiritual energy in this place.
Second, the air in this place contained a hint of blood and a strange aura, but it was very subtle and difficult to capture.
Based on these two points, this place was definitely not just a core collection site.
Fang Yu thought for a moment, but still jumped down.
And Bai Ran followed behind him.
After falling forty to fifty meters, they arrived at a base.
The ground was covered with iron plates, making loud echoes when walked upon.
As soon as Fang Yu and Bai Ran landed, they saw a large pool of fresh blood ahead, but no bodies.
Fang Yu looked carefully at the ground, his expression changing slightly.
It wasn’t that there were no bodies, but… there were no complete bodies!
Fang Yu saw some remaining severed palms in the corner of the room, with blood splattered all over the ground.
Violet was standing not far ahead, looking around, her expression not good.
“Judging from the blood, these people were killed at most half an hour ago,” Fang Yu said.
Violet didn’t speak and walked forward.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, following behind her.
Along the way, they passed through many corridors. There was blood in many places on the corridors, and some dismembered limbs could be seen.
Fang Yu didn’t care about the deaths of these people; he just wanted to know where the power core used by Gary was taken from.
Soon, Violet led Fang Yu to the outskirts of the base.
In this place, eight trenches could be clearly seen dug into the ground.
These eight trenches were about two meters wide and fifty to sixty meters long!
However, in the trenches, there was only a transparent crystal-like thin shell, with nothing inside.
“This is…”
Fang Yu jumped to one of the trenches, extended his right palm, and pressed it against the crystal shell.
Indeed, he sensed a subtle spiritual energy!
These eight trenches were originally spiritual veins!
Fang Yu could even feel the temperature on the crystal shell!
This meant that the spiritual energy in these eight spiritual veins had just been absorbed not long ago!
It should have happened at the same time as the people in the collection base were killed!
“Damn it!”
Fang Yu stood up, frustratedly holding his head.
If he had come half an hour earlier… these eight spiritual veins would have been his, and no one could have taken them away!
Eight spiritual veins! These were eight spiritual veins!
In such a place, there were actually eight spiritual veins!
In the past, this would have caused a sensation throughout the entire cultivation world, attracting many cultivators to come and compete!
But now…
“If only we had come here first! Instead of going to the laboratory first…” Fang Yu crouched on the ground, exasperated.
“Mr. Fang, what happened?” Seeing Fang Yu’s strong reaction, Bai Ran immediately came forward and asked.
“Wait!”
Fang Yu thought of something and stood up.
Then, he released his divine consciousness to check the condition of the spiritual veins.
“Eight spiritual veins… almost completely absorbed at the same time. Even with machines, it’s impossible to consume such a large amount of spiritual energy in such a short time!” Fang Yu thought. “The crystal-like thin shell on the spiritual veins is formed by the condensation of spiritual energy over many years, with extremely high strength… Although technology is advanced now, it’s still impossible to have a place more suitable for storing spiritual energy than spiritual veins.”
In other words, even if there were machines that could empty the spiritual energy in eight spiritual veins in a short time, there couldn’t be a container capable of storing such a large amount of spiritual energy!
Since it wasn’t machines, it could only be the work of living beings…
Humans… ruled out first.
Even if Fang Yu absorbed one spiritual vein, even if the absorption speed was relatively fast, it would take at least a month or two to refine it.
And the capacity of the dantian was limited; Fang Yu could at most forcibly absorb one spiritual vein at a time.
Absorbing eight spiritual veins simultaneously… it was impossible for any human in this world to do so.
As for other living beings… there were too many unknown existences, and Fang Yu couldn’t be sure if they could do it.
Of course, it was also possible that many living beings appeared simultaneously and collectively devoured the eight spiritual veins.
But regardless, the fact was that all eight spiritual veins were gone! All eight!
If these eight spiritual veins had been given to Fang Yu… perhaps he could have used them to break through to the tenth level or even more!
“What bastard absorbed all eight spiritual veins? Even leaving one or two would have been good…” Fang Yu was filled with anger.
“This place has surveillance cameras in every corner. We can go to their monitoring room and check the footage,” Violet said at this moment.
