Legend of Swordsman

Now being sent back to her family by the mysterious powerful figure before her, it was hard for her not to link it to her father’s schemes.

She had just contacted Wanyan, who was far away in the desolate land, informing him that after being abducted and taken hostage, she was returned to the Ye Family.

Feeling a bit more confident now, she spoke with a tone of both probing and threat, “Regardless of your intentions, it’s best not to harbor ill thoughts. My good friend will come to rescue me soon!”

Then she added, “By the way, don’t underestimate my friends. The reason you were able to snatch me away before was because Jian Wushuang wasn’t around. He controls the power of Life and is comparable to the peak of the Eighth Tribulation. He’s also friends with ancient existences. When he comes, he will take me away too!”

As Ye Lingyun spoke, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

She raised Jian Wushuang’s name as a flag, linking herself with him.

Back then, Jian Wushuang and the others had been able to defy even the Blood Demon Temple Master to protect her.

Even the Eternal Being, “Elder Tian Cang,” treated him with courtesy.

Hearing the name Jian Wushuang, Hu Qing’s expression changed slightly.

Ye Lingxiao thought the other party was afraid and began to persuade him kindly again, “If you are at the Scattered Tribulation level, I can help you exchange some Life force. If you are at the peak of the Eighth Tribulation, there’s no need for us insignificant people to be at odds. Why not let me go?”

“Alas!” Hu Qing sighed, feeling somewhat misunderstood, and said, “I can assure you that I will not harm you, nor your mentioned friends. If you truly care for them, it’s best not to let them come.”

Unable to persuade him, Ye Lingxiao felt a little annoyed. She turned to leave directly. Just as she pushed open the door, she paused, her tone turning cold, “You’re just afraid!”

With that, he left straight away.

At that moment, the surrounding space returned to calm!

Deep within the ancestral home, Ye Wudao observed his daughter but didn’t notice anything amiss.

However, he also harbored some apprehension towards Hu Qing’s strength.

With a thread of Thought power, he transformed into a avatar and quietly left the Ye Family ancestral home.

Heading towards the back mountain.

That area belonged to the Ye family, and ordinary people couldn’t enter at all.

Because the Patriarch was in seclusion there and disliked being disturbed.

Apart from the Patriarch, there was also a terrifying presence that had arrived here millions of epochs ago.

This terrifying presence was a central figure in Ye Wudao’s plan.

Back then, despite facing a Scattered Tribulation, he managed to regain control of the family not solely due to his status as the Patriarch’s son-in-law.

It was also because of his decisiveness and ruthlessness.

But most importantly, it was because of a blood-red treasure he obtained in the past.

This treasure had once alarmed the Ye Xiaowang.

That’s how he, with a Scattered Tribulation body, became the head of the Ye family.

You should know that in the past, the head of the Ye family would also be the head of the Blood Robe Sect.

But when he took over, he changed the rules.

Whoosh!

On the ancestral mountain, a blood-colored storm swept through.

Ye Wudao stepped up to the highest point. Before a blood-colored giant gate, he stopped and respectfully revealed a humble expression, saying, “Lord Xilu, I have an important matter to report!”

“Gurgle!” A surge from deep within the throat caused the surrounding blood force to dissipate. Then, the giant gate shook and opened a gap. A huge eye appeared in the gap, staring at Ye Wudao as he nervously sweated.

“Come in and speak!” A deep voice came from behind the door.

Ye Wudao took a deep breath, cautiously stepping inside the giant gate.

The scene behind the blood gate was like a relief on the gate.

It was a blood-red cave.

At the end of the cave, there was the pulsation of blood.

After entering the cave, Ye Wudao kept his head down, not daring to look around.

“I sense the source of blood from you!” Xilu’s figure swayed and he came behind Ye Wudao, greedily sniffing the scent.

Ye Wudao was startled and quickly turned around, seeing a monstrous face larger than his body, extremely terrifying.

Xilu’s visage was like that of a bug transformed into a human. Entirely green with black spots, thin, but with a huge head.

“Lord Xilu, it’s the return of the young miss. She’s currently at the mansion!” Ye Wudao faced Xilu, not daring to waste words, and reported everything straightforwardly.

Upon hearing about the rumored practitioner with a blood-colored Origin Source, Xilu’s expression brightened. “No wonder you exude such a marvelous aura,” he remarked.

But from Ye Wudao’s words, he also learned about an obstacle.

“Eighth Tribulation?” Xilu strode towards the mass of blood-red within the cave, casually seating himself. “Take him into the void; leave the rest to me!”

He had full confidence in his own strength.

Since leaving Yue Kingdom, he had possessed the pinnacle divine power of the Eighth Tribulation.

Now his divine power had reached a terrifying 15 million, the perfection of the Eighth Tribulation.

Throughout the Ancient Moon Spacetime, the only one he feared was the Pope of the Ancient Moon.

As for Divine Wood King, at most, he could only suppress him, unable to defeat him.

So, he dared not openly attack in the Long Night City.

He intended to lure Hu Qing into the void before striking.

Ye Wudao hesitated for a moment before saying, “For this, I need the help of the Patriarch. I’ll go request him later, and we can act tomorrow!”

“Good!” Xilu wasn’t interested in Hu Qing, but he was greatly interested in Ye Lingxiao.

He had absorbed countless practitioners, devouring not only their blood essence but also their wisdom and all their excess.

Such as bloodlines?

And legacies.

It could be said that he was a grandmaster encompassing myriad paths.

But those were all auxiliary.

Only the complete power of the blood-red could transform him once more.

After reaching the perfection of the Eighth Tribulation, ordinary practitioners were useless against him.

Only Eighth Tribulation Universe Masters could make him stronger.

But those Eighth Tribulation Universe Masters, each could carry their own Origin Source Dao Arena, making it difficult for him to kill even one.

With no target in sight, he came to the Ye Family.

Speaking of which, he also originated from the Ye Family.

…

Ye Wudao didn’t dare linger in Xilu’s cave and hurriedly took his leave.

Standing on the ancestral mountain, he began to contact the Patriarch, Ye Xiaowang.

He originally thought Xilu could directly kill Hu Qing, but unexpectedly, it was so troublesome. He

had no choice but to inform the Patriarch of the process as well.

At the peak of the ancestral mountain.

An elderly man with white hair and a hooked nose stood atop it, his face filled with vicissitudes.

Upon noticing the arrival of the younger Ye Wudao, he remained silent.

He was the Ye Xiaowang.

The appointed sealed king of the Ancient Moon Sect.

Moreover, during the era of the Celestial Maiden, his strength far surpassed that of the original Divine Wood King and others.

This formidable deterrent force had been maintained until now.

All of it stemmed from his legacy.

Or rather, a treasure.

After obtaining that treasure, his blood essence had never faded.

Blood essence represented divine power. If divine power didn’t fade, then one would remain at the peak forever.
