Chapter 952 Demon Blood Lord

The Empress's words surprised everyone.

"Really? Eating this thing can revive a dying person?"

Helen asked curiously as she had never killed a high-level ferocious beast before, so she didn't know that such a thing could condense in a living being's body. Moreover, according to the Empress's description, such a thing would appear more frequently in ferocious beasts than humans; it was also extremely rare.

After all, normal people wouldn't eat other humans except for freaks like Dracula.

The Empress picked up the Blood Spirit Pearl and handed it to Lu Yu. "Take it. It might be able to save your life at a critical moment."

Seeing this, Lu Yu took the pearl.

"I'll keep it. However, there's a high chance that I won't have a chance to use it."

Helen, who was recording in her journal, immediately put her hands on her hips and retorted, "Are you saying that we get hurt easily?"

"Hey, don't you know this Demon Blood Lord better than I do?" Lu Yu asked.

Hearing this, Helen's attitude immediately weakened.

"Uh, if we are going to fight him, I guess we do need this more than you..."

She smiled awkwardly.

"Let's go. This place is gloomy. I'm not in a good mood staying here."

Shirley suggested.

Thus, the four of them continued forward and soon left the dark forest.

They continued north and headed deeper into the Ember Empire.

They reached a grassland and came to an open space.

At night, a bright moon hung high in the sky. The moonlight shone on the ground, providing faint illumination.

Lu Yu took out the map and looked at the nearest town in front of him. It was called Sandstorm Town.

After confirming his destination, Lu Yu summoned the Water Spirit Dragon.

The Water Spirit Dragon's huge body crashed to the ground, and the four of them hurriedly climbed onto its back.

As the Water Spirit Dragon flapped its wings, it soared into the sky.

The Water Spirit Dragon soared through the air. The moonlight shone on the surface of the Water Spirit Dragon's body, reflecting a faint silver light.

Shirley lay on the dragon's back and yawned sleepily.

"How much longer until we reach our next destination?"

Shirley asked.

"Not far. I estimate that it will take less than half an hour."

"Alright then, we'll take our rest when we get there."

As they continued soaring through the skies, they left the grassland and arrived in the wilderness.

This place was technically a grassland, but it was desolate. There were withered grass and dried trees everywhere.

There were also quite a number of ferocious and cruel predators lurking around this grassland.

Lu Yu looked into the distance and saw a bright light in the darkness.

"There's light. That should be Sandstorm Town."

Lu Yu steered the Water Spirit Dragon and charged straight toward Sandstorm Town.

Whoosh!

The wind whistled in their ears as they dove to the ground in less than a minute.

Lu Yu kept the Water Spirit Dragon back into the Water Spirit Pearl. After he was done, he slowly approached Sandstorm Town.

The size of the town wasn't too small, about the same as a small county in the Freedom Federation.

As it was late at night, there were not many lights in the town, and there were almost no people on the streets.

At most, they could see some figures who were still doing odd jobs.

Walking into the center of the town, Lu Yu sensed the loneliness around him.

It was too desolate.

The streets were paved with sand and stones. When the wind blew, it would stir up waves of dust.

The people around them were wrapped in silk to prevent the wind and sand from abusing their bodies.

The surrounding buildings also exuded an ancient aura.

"The environment here isn't very good. Let's find a better inn to stay in."

Lu Yu walked around town and soon saw a decent inn.

The inn was three stories tall and made of white stone bricks. Compared to the surrounding simple buildings, it looked much more attractive.

When he came to the open door, Lu Yu looked inside. There was a man at the counter doing the accounts.

Lu Yu walked in and asked, "I'm here to stay. Are there any rooms available?"

The shopkeeper lowered his head to look at the accounts and said, "There are three rooms left, but Young Master Sean asked for two rooms, so there's only one left."

"Since Sean asked for two rooms, why did you tell us that there were three rooms available?"

Lu Yu smiled and continued, "Is it because Young Master Sean hasn't arrived yet and just informed you in advance?"

"Yes, that's exactly it. Do you have a problem? He called earlier to book the rooms."

Lu Yu shrugged helplessly. "No problem. We'll make do with just a room."

The shopkeeper looked at the three beauties behind Lu Yu and smiled knowingly.

"Playful, aren't we?"

"Don't talk nonsense and do your job."

As Lu Yu spoke, he took out a dazzling coin and placed it on the table.

"One Brilliant Coin for a room for a week."

"It's expensive." Shirley couldn't help but complain.

Even though she came from a wealthy background, she still felt that the price was a little expensive.

"Haha, there's only one inn in the entire town. Even if I priced it a little expensive, would you refuse to stay here?"

The shopkeeper revealed a proud smile.

"Let's just go up and take our rest."

Lu Yu led the way.

Clang!

At this moment, a figure staggered in and knocked against the door frame.

A man in a white suit staggered in with a drunk woman.

"Young Master Sean, you're here!"

The shopkeeper quickly came up and helped Sean in.

"Is the room I asked for ready?"

"Yes, they're ready. The two rooms are next to each other in the corner of the building. We're just waiting for your arrival."

"Alright."

Sean smiled proudly and touched the woman's delicate face.

"Hahaha, you're going to have a good time tonight."

At this moment, Lu Yu stepped forward and stopped Sean.

When he was in the Freedom Federation, he had seen quite a number of such incidents—men would get women drunk to do something indecent to them.

"Who are you? Why are you standing in my way? No one in Sandstorm Town dares to stand in my way; do you know who I am?"

"She didn't come with you willingly, did she?"

Lu Yu asked.

"Is she related to you in some way? Get out of my way!"

Lu Yu continued to ask, "You brought a drunk woman here, but you booked two rooms. You even specially requested to stay in the corner."

"Strange. Why do you need two rooms? Or are the two rooms used for different purposes?"

Lu Yu's question made Sean nervous. "You... What are you trying to say? Don't waste my time, or I'll beat you up!"

Lu Yu sized him up with his sharp eyes, as Sean's reaction wasn't what he expected.

Seam seemed too nervous, and his forehead was covered in a cold sweat. He even looked a little sheepish after being questioned by Lu Yu.

Lu Yu felt that this person might not only be after the woman's body but also her life.

As for the reason, Lu Yu was an outsider who had just arrived, so it was difficult for him to figure it out.

Lu Yu turned to Shirley and asked, "Is Sandstorm Town in the Demon Blood Lord's territory?"

Shirley thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes. We're in the territory of the Demon Blood Lord."

Hearing this, Sean immediately got nervous. "Why... do you know about the Demon Blood Lord?"
