Chapter 388: Chapter 388: West Wind City
This sight certainly astounded Jiang Xiaobai and Gu Ning.

They knew that this Blood Warrior was controlled by the ancient tribe’s special methods, and under normal circumstances, her actions were absolutely prohibited.

But to their surprise, the Blood Warrior before them could still exhibit such behaviour of turning against her master. It was truly horrifying.

No wonder the ancient tribe decided to sell this Blood Warrior.

“No, this Blood Warrior isn’t completely under control, she… ”

Gu Ning suddenly narrowed her eyes. “She seems to have been struggling to break free all this time, she doesn’t care about the backlash that might occur during her struggle, she’d rather die than continue to be restrained?”

As soon as she finished speaking, blood started to emerge from the corners of the Blood Warrior’s mouth. Not only that, blood was also seeping out from some of the pores on her body.

The sight was extremely terrifying.

Rage also welled up within Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes. He thought the ancient tribe was inhumane and engaged in wicked practices.

Among the many superpowers Jiang Xiaobai knew, even the transcendent ones wouldn’t have such thing happening.

Only sects like the demonic ones could carry out such acts.

“This ancient tribe really deserves to die.”

“I wonder who’s wife, sister or daughter she was.”

“Let me assess the situation.”

Jiang Xiaobai murmured coldly. This technique was simply too cruel.

It wasn’t due to his softheartedness, but such a thing was very rare on the entire continent, which was a testament to its extreme cruelty.

Jiang Xiaobai started to investigate it then. First, he started with the token, but he couldn’t figure out anything from it, so he could only toss it to Gu Ning to study.

Following that, Jiang Xiaobai grabbed the woman’s wrist and his spiritual power started to flow into her meridians, trying to assess the situation within them.

When he finally observed, he was so shocked he almost died.

All the meridians within the woman’s body were broken and not only that, something that appeared like a polyp was growing in the areas where they were broken.

The fact that the Blood Warrior could be controlled, and could even unleash so many powers, might be due to these polyps.

Jiang Xiaobai, well versed in pill refining, realized at a glance that these polyps were not simple. They were objects refined from many precious materials, and then forced into the woman’s meridians by some micro magic formations.

To be able to endure such a thing, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t imagine the kind of pain this woman had gone through!

“Damn this ancient tribe, they really act inhumanely.”

Jiang Xiaobai huffed coldly, and then continued to examine her, even trying to inspect her soul.

In the end, he found many problems, but Jiang Xiaobai, who was great at pill refining, could see that to create a Blood Warrior, none of these problems could be missing.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai was also internally calculating the best way to resolve this situation.

“Congratulations, host, on triggering the choice!”

“Option one: Ignore her, treat her as a tool, a battle weapon. Reward: 50 years’ worth of cultivation!”

“Option Two: Kill her and put an end to her pain. Reward: 10 reputation points, one immortal stone.”

“Option Three: Allow her to get away from the control of the ancient tribe, and return to being a normal person. Reward: 20 reputation points, one random teleportation scroll, and one opportunity to enter the Gate of Mysteries.”

The sudden emergence of the system was something Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t anticipated. He thought back to the auction of the Blood Warrior, when the system had also provided a prompt.

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t understand the connection, but now, he was determined to free this woman.

So naturally he chose the final task.

At this moment, Gu Ning looked towards Jiang Xiaobai: “The method of control is actually simple, it’s just stripping away a wisp of her divine soul and sealing it in the token, then forcibly implanting a magic formation into her primordial spirit.”

“Was it very painful?”

“Hm, the primordial Spirit is the foundation of life connected with the divine soul. For those in the Divided Spirit Realm, it’s the most important thing, especially during the Unity Period, when the body and the divine soul can fuse and separate. Even if a person in the Unity Period is killed, unless their divine soul is destroyed, they can’t be completely slain.”

“So do you think, forcibly stuffing something into your divine soul would be painful?”

Gu Ning spoke calmly.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, his gaze towards the woman also became solemn.

Such an experience, not to mention empathizing with it, even listening to it made him shudder.

“The reason why she’s not controlled, based on my observation, is firstly, because there was problem with the implanted formation, and secondly, her divine soul is extremely special.”

“Unless unexpected, it should be of a divine spiritual constitution, specializing in divine souls, hence her divine soul is extraordinarily strong. I guess when she was initially captured and forcibly modified into a Blood Warrior, she had just entered the early stage of the Divided Spirit Realm, and had structured her primordial spirit, thus resulting in the current situation.”

Gu Ning shook her head as she spoke: “Otherwise, she would be a walking corpse, and you wouldn’t even be able to restore her to normality.”

“Now that I know, thanks.”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, they started to discuss it thereafter.

With Gu Ning’s eye for detail and keen observation, along with Jiang Xiaobai’s understanding of pill refining, they ended up working out how to free the woman before them.

Firstly, they needed to heal her divine soul completely. Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t worried about that, given the abundant Ghost Mother Flowers he had obtained before.

Next, they needed to cleanse the polyps inside her body and other issues in her body.

“I suggest that you first restore her internal condition. Otherwise, if you rashly fuse the divine soul with hers, she would still be a Blood Warrior, but one with her own consciousness. I don’t need to explicitly state how frightening that could be. Anyway, you are definitely no match for her.”

Gu Ning calmly suggested on the side.

Jiang Xiaobai scoffed, “Don’t look down on me. It’s true I’m not as advanced as her, but that doesn’t mean my power is worthless.”

He had many methods, and could handle a Blood Warrior who wasn’t in berserk mode.

Following that, Jiang Xiaobai heeded Gu Ning’s advice and found a cave, using a special formation to control this woman.

As he knew cleansing the polyps in her body would be extremely painful, he was fearful that something unexpected may occur during the process.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be quick.”

That was all Jiang Xiaobai could say. He then produced a small dagger and easily made a small cut on the woman’s neck. Blood gushed out, but Jiang Xiaobai applied a special powder to the wound, effectively stopping the blood flow.

Next, he started to gently cleanse the polyps in her meridians using his spiritual power.

His spiritual power carefully tore the polyps off her meridians. While her meridians showed some cracks, they weren’t entirely torn, rendering her useless.

Yet the pain of having her meridians torn was tantamount to a thousand cuts!

After all, they were meridians.

But the woman made no move. Jiang Xiaobai knew that she was vaguely conscious and she could naturally feel the pain.

At this time, she was probably enduring immense torture…
