141: An undercurrent of blood surged within him

Just as the Grand Elder was about to get up and search for the Clan Chief.

A figure shrouded in a mist of time appeared on the main seat.

The others, seeing this, knelt in unison: "Greetings, Clan Chief!"

"Rise." The Clan Chief's voice echoed through the main hall, carrying a profound weight that seemed to penetrate time itself.

The Grand Elder straightened up and said anxiously, "Clan Chief, Young Miss she..."

"This Clan Chief already knows." The Clan Chief slightly raised a hand, and the flow of time within the ancient bronze hall seemed to slow down with it: "The Eternal Tribulation Time Butterfly Bloodline has Awakened. This is an unprecedented golden age for our Xia Clan."

"That child has been wandering outside, she must have suffered a lot."

His gaze pierced through the mist of time, looking towards the depths of the endless Starry Sky.

"Clan Chief, Ninth Elder has already rushed there at full speed." The Grand Elder calmed his emotions, his tone grave: "However, since Young Miss has Awakened, it will inevitably attract attention from all sides."

"Especially those people, they have always been searching for traces of the Time Butterfly Bloodline."

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became heavy.

The Clan Chief was silent for a moment, his voice turning cold: "If they dare to reach out, chop off their claws."

As his voice fell, an invisible pressure spread out, and even time solidified for a moment.

"Issue an order." The Clan Chief slowly spoke: "Command the Temporal Guard to follow Ninth Elder and ensure that girl returns safely. If any petty scoundrels dare to obstruct."

He paused, then said word by word: "Kill without mercy."

"Yes!" Everyone in the hall responded in unison, a cold glint flashing in their eyes.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the Universe.

There were no stars, no life, only endless darkness and dead silence.

However, at the center of this dead silence, a strange black ancient hall floated.

The style of the ancient hall was simple and twisted, its walls covered with twisted runes, emitting a heart-palpitating Aura.

Inside the hall, an altar was slowly operating.

On the altar, countless intricate runes flickered in the darkness, forming a strange Formation.

In the center of the Formation, a black crystal the size of a fist floated.

Within the crystal, the faint phantom of a butterfly was visible.

The butterfly's wings had intricate time patterns, seven or eight parts similar to the Eternal Tribulation Time Butterfly that appeared when Xia Die Awakened!

Suddenly, the black crystal vibrated violently!

The butterfly phantom in the crystal suddenly became clear, and the time patterns on its wings began to glow.

"Crack!"

A tiny crack appeared on the surface of the crystal.

The next moment, several figures simultaneously appeared from the shadows within the hall.

They were clad in black robes, their faces hidden beneath hoods, their Auras strange and cold.

The leader quickly walked to the altar, staring at the cracked crystal, his voice excited: "The Time Butterfly Bloodline has Awakened!"

"Where is it?" another person eagerly asked.

The leader closed his eyes to sense, then suddenly opened them a moment later: "East, at the edge of this Universe."

"Notify the Master! Immediately!" The third person said: "We have waited so many years, and finally the Time Butterfly Bloodline has reappeared! As long as we seize this Bloodline, the Master will be able to..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the leader: "Shut up! This matter is top secret, do not speak carelessly!"

He looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Old Eight, Old Nine, you two will depart with me first. Old Five, you stay here and notify the Master."

"Remember, the Time Butterfly Bloodline is crucial to our clan; she must be captured alive!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Three black figures transformed into streaks of light, silently tearing through space, speeding towards the Myriad Laws Star Domain.

Their speed was three-tenths faster than the Xia Clan's Ninth Elder!

...Heavenly Hero Star Luan Army Barracks.

Su Ying was protecting Xia Die, helping her stabilize her Realm.

The two were unaware that two forces were Transmigration through endless Star Domains, heading towards them.

And Xia Die, at the moment her Bloodline fully Awakened, gained some vague ancient memory fragments deep within her Soul, as well as a mysterious calling from the depths of her Bloodline.

She looked towards the depths of the Starry Sky, a complex expression of confusion and understanding flashing in her clear eyes.

"So I am not a rootless duckweed."

She whispered to herself, her voice audible only to her.

Su Ying asked with concern, "Xia Die, what did you say?"

Xia Die looked at Su Ying, complex ripples appearing in her eyes: "General, if one day, someone wants to take me away from here."

"I don't want to go back, but you can't defeat them. What will you do?"

Su Ying was stunned by the words, then her willow brows shot up, her battle armor moved without wind, and her Early Stage Profound Immortal Aura burst forth: "Who dares?!"

She took a step forward, grasping Xia Die's wrist, her eyes sharp: "Listen well, Xia Die."

"You are the Vice General of my Heavenly Hero Star Luan Army, my sister with whom I've faced life and death, and a subject of my Taiyan Immortal Court!"

"Without my permission, without Your Majesty's decree, no one can take anyone from the Dynasty!" She said, word by word, unequivocally: "Even if I can't win, I will protect you with my life."

"The millions of soldiers of the Heavenly Hero Star Luan Army will stand before you!"

Xia Die looked at the unquestionable determination in Su Ying's eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart.

But she still asked softly: "What if the opponent is very strong, so strong that even Your Majesty has no solution?"

Su Ying was silent for a moment, but the grip on Xia Die's wrist tightened a bit more.

"General, do you think Your Majesty will remember me?" Xia Die changed the subject, her voice almost inaudible: "I'm just a Vice General, will I be insignificant in Your Majesty's eyes?"

"What nonsense!" Su Ying finally couldn't help but raise her voice: "Xia Die, you underestimate yourself, and you underestimate Your Majesty too much!"

She let go of her hand, turned to look in the direction of the Imperial Palace, her eyes full of reverence and trust: "Who is Your Majesty?"

"He is the Supreme Monarch who founded the prosperous Dynasty era and unified the Five Evolutions Great Thousand World!"

"He is a wise ruler who treats his subjects like siblings and administers rewards and punishments fairly!"

"Do you remember a hundred years ago, when a Myriad Commander of the Tiangang Star Radiance Army died in battle, Your Majesty personally inscribed a memorial couplet and bestowed Spirit Pills and generous salaries upon his family?"

"Do you remember fifty years ago, when the Heavenly Weeping Star Sorrowful Army was trapped in a desperate situation, Your Majesty personally ordered the mobilization of four Heavenly Armies to rush to their aid from thousands of miles away?"

Su Ying turned her head, her gaze burning as she stared at Xia Die: "In Your Majesty's eyes, every soldier who has shed Blood for the Dynasty is his citizen, and a cornerstone of the Dynasty!"

"You, Xia Die, are the Vice General of my Heavenly Hero Star Luan Army. How many military achievements have you made over the years, facing life and death? How could Your Majesty not remember you?"

She paused, her tone even more firm: "I tell you, if anyone truly dares to forcibly abduct a General of my Dynasty, no matter who they are, no matter how strong, Your Majesty will not only remember you but will also personally take action!"

"At that time, it won't be a question of whether you can return." A cold light flashed in Su Ying's eyes: "It will be a question of whether those ignorant fellows can leave the Myriad Laws Star Domain alive!"

Xia Die gazed at Su Ying, her eyes slightly red.

That's right.

How could she have forgotten.

The Your Majesty she served was never a Monarch who would sit idly by while his subjects were humiliated.

Back then, a small tribe on the border provoked them, killing over a hundred thousand Dynasty civilians. Your Majesty directly dispatched three Heavenly Armies to cross the border and suppress them, uprooting that tribe entirely, and their Clan Chief's Divine Soul was annihilated.

Those who offend my Dynasty, no matter how far, shall be punished.

This was never an empty threat.

"General." Xia Die's voice was somewhat choked.

"Alright, stop overthinking." Su Ying patted her shoulder, her tone softening: "What you need to do now is to stabilize your Realm properly."

"Since you've Awakened this Bloodline, then become even stronger, so strong that no one can force you to do anything!"

"Besides, if you really get abducted, I'll go beg Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty loves me the most, he will definitely send troops to save you."

"By then, I'll be the first to ask to fight, and I'll make sure those ignorant fellows get beaten until they're looking for their teeth all over the ground!"

Xia Die finally burst into laughter through her tears, nodding vigorously: "Mm!"
