38: The Night Family's schemes, the Lord of Blood awakens!

Coming back to her senses.

Beneath the veil, a hint of sadness flickered across the girl's stunning Face.

Recalling the grand words she once spoke, and then thinking of Gu Qingchen's current achievements, a deep sense of powerlessness arose in her heart.

She Cultivated desperately, only hoping that one day she could stand before Gu Qingchen openly, to dissolve the engagement with a calm demeanor, as an equal.

However, she had only just become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Purple Tenuity Holy Land, while that person had already been established as the Saint of the Xuantian Holy Land.

The gap between them was wider than the heavens!

"Xiao Xianer, are you already defeated?"

At this moment, a light chuckle echoed in Ye Qingxian's mind, the voice cool yet with a hint of charm.

"Revered Master."

Hearing this familiar voice, Ye Qingxian felt a little more confident: "My Aptitude was never as good as his, and I was delayed by five years of Cultivation. Do I really still have a chance to catch up to him?"

"Xiao Xianer, don't belittle yourself."

The cool yet charming female voice chuckled indifferently: "You possess the Star Devouring Physique, which ranks among the top hundred Physiques. Your previous disappearance of cultivation was to fully activate your Physique.

The current you, your Aptitude may not necessarily be weaker than that Young Gu.

Coupled with my guidance and the Star Refining Art I passed on to you, which seems tailor-made for you, surpassing that boy is absolutely within reach and imminent."

"Mm!"

Ye Qingxian nodded, a flicker of determination in her eyes: "No matter what, I will not give up. One day I will catch up to him, and even surpass him!"

Seeing this, Yue Nanli in the spirit refining pot nodded with satisfaction.

This Disciple she had taken, whether in Aptitude, Comprehension Ability, or talent, was impeccable.

Coupled with the mysterious Cultivation Technique, Star Refining Art, which she obtained from the Origin Ancient Realm, and the Star Devouring Physique, which was perfectly suited to this Cultivation Technique, Ye Qingxian's future achievements were absolutely limitless.

It was even possible for her to surpass her Revered Master and achieve the Great Emperor realm!

"Very good, you must have this spirit. The Myriad Stars Grand Offering in half a year is your best opportunity to devour star Origin and enhance your strength. You must seize it!"

...Xuantian Holy Land.

Ye Family.

All the high-ranking members of the Ye Family gathered, with the leader, clad in a dark gold Dragon-patterned robe, seated on the main chair of the grand hall.

His eyes were frosty as he coldly spoke: "Wushuang lost, and our Ye Family's scheme failed. Furthermore, the Holy Lord learned about what we did in the underground Demon Cave of Canglan Continent. What are your thoughts, speak them."

"Haha, now you know to ask for our opinions? When you discovered the myriad dao treasure tree and secretly cultivated it, why didn't you think of us?"

"Hehe, isn't this all thanks to your good son, Clan Chief? I heard he was beaten by Gu Qingchen and fled in a panic, rushing headlong to the Blood Spirit Mending Heaven Array, wanting to suppress him with the help of the Ye Blood Guards. But he tried to steal a chicken and lost the rice instead, giving the supreme treasure, myriad dao treasure tree, into Gu Qingchen's pocket. He truly is a Prodigy of our Ye Family."

“...”

As soon as the Ye Family Patriarch finished speaking, some sarcastic voices rang out.

Evidently, many in the Ye Family were displeased with the Patriarch's faction's attempt to privately monopolize the supreme treasure, myriad dao treasure tree.

It was no wonder they were angry.

After all, even if the Patriarch's faction had selfish intentions and wanted to keep the myriad dao treasure tree for themselves, they should have at least guarded it!

But now, it was a mess.

Not only did they fail to guard the treasure, they even handed it over to the enemy, and now they were asking others to help clean up this mess.

The fact that they hadn't stormed off immediately was already giving enough Face.

"Enough."

The Ye Family Patriarch frowned: "Wushuang was indeed very problematic this time, but he also paid the price for it. Although I have awakened him from the deep Heart Demon illusion, he is basically crippled. I have locked him in the Demon Suppression Cave.

From now on, he is no longer the Young Lord of my Ye Family, nor will he be given any Cultivation resources.

The position of Young Lord of the Ye Family is open for free competition among all branches."

Hearing this, the high-ranking members of the Ye Family exchanged glances, subtle changes in their expressions.

"Furthermore, if the Holy Land investigates this matter, do you think they will only investigate my branch?"

The Ye Family Patriarch sneered: "You are gravely mistaken. In the eyes of the Holy Land, our Ye Family is one entity, rising and falling together. Therefore, this is not just cleaning up a mess for my branch, but also paving the way for yourselves!"

"That makes sense."

"Currently, the biggest problem for our Ye Family is the slaughter of billions of underground demons to catalyze the myriad dao treasure tree with their Origin essence blood. This matter is both big and small, but the current Holy Lord is a hypocrite, which makes it a bit difficult to handle."

"Compared to the various methods of those on the Demonic Path, our Ye Family is merciful beyond measure. With the status of our Ye Family, such a matter would at most warrant a minor punishment."

"That's right, as long as the Old Ancestor is with us, our Ye Family will be as stable as Mount Tai. We just need to find a few scapegoats then."

"The key is still losing that myriad dao treasure tree, and that boy Gu Qingchen even became the Saint of our Xuantian Holy Land."

"Perhaps the Holy Son Coronation Ceremony in three months will be a good opportunity for us to make a move against that boy and retrieve the myriad dao treasure tree."

"You have a point. At that time, countless forces will gather, and we can easily stir up some chaos..."

“...”

Just as the Ye Family was conspiring.

In the Demon Suppression Cave, Ye Wushuang gradually regained consciousness. Immediately, a turbid Qi, a mixture of putrid and bloody smells, filled his nostrils, making him feel nauseous.

He struggled to open his eyes, only to see an uneven black ground covered in thick, black viscous liquid, making him feel sick as if it were demonic pus and blood.

Gusts of cold wind blew, and a bone-chilling cold made him shiver.

"This is... in the Holy Land's Demon Suppression Cave?"

Ye Wushuang recognized the place: "How did I end up in the Demon Suppression Cave? Am I still trapped in the Heart Demon illusion and haven't woken up?"

"No, you are not trapped in the Heart Demon illusion."

At this moment, a faint voice echoed in his mind.

"Who?!"

Instantly, Ye Wushuang's expression tightened, like a startled bird: "Who are you? Where are you hiding?

Come out! Come out quickly!"

"Me?"

The faint voice laughed heartily: "I have long forgotten my name, but the world calls me the Lord of Blood."

"Lord of Blood?"

Ye Wushuang murmured.

The next moment, an indescribable great fear completely enveloped him, and a palpitation more terrifying than death surged into his heart.

This immediately made Ye Wushuang realize that this Lord of Blood was an unimaginably terrifying figure.

"Lord... Lord of Blood, why did you seek me out?"

"Why?"

The Lord of Blood's tone gradually grew frantic: "Because on you, I sensed a trace of an old friend's aura... Lord of Heart Demons, after hundreds of millions of years, have you also revived?"

...
