Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 419: Chapter 98: Blood Nest Base_1

…

Deep within the blood nest base!

In front of a gruesomely bloodstained blood nest, Old Ancestor Hua Ye is surrounded by blazing flames. With just a Spirit Instrument Level fire-themed Halberd, he blasts apart two frenzied Blood Nest warriors.

Blood Nest warriors are incredibly powerful, surpassing the Old Ancestors of comparable level from other clans. Even when Old Ancestor Hua Ye makes a move, it takes quite some effort.

As their bodies twist, a Bridal Clothes Blood Gu bursts out from each of them. They are crimson all over, with gruesome mouthparts, and their abdomens are full of essence blood.

They scramble towards Old Ancestor Hua Ye, instinctively sensing that the enemy capable of killing their host is more qualified to be their new host.

Bridal Clothes Blood Gu has fostered its own laws through successive generations. Hosts who can’t withstand the alteration of their bloodlines and instantly go mad are nothing more than their puppets.

Only those hosts who can ultimately resist them will willingly dedicate their lives, giving their entire essence to the host.

Though strange, one has to admit that Bridal Clothes Blood Gu is a very magical species.

Meanwhile.

Yin Jiu’s figure flickers, stepping in front of Old Ancestor Hua Ye, and opens two specially prepared jade boxes. Inside the jade boxes, a special kind of Dan medicine known as Gu Attracting Pill has been placed. As soon as it’s stimulated by mysterious energy, its aroma spreads out in no time.

The moment the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu smell the Gu Attracting Pill, they become even more frantic and irritated, plunging headlong into the jade boxes.

Having easily captured the two Bridal Clothes Blood Gu, Yin Jiu respectfully hands over the jade boxes to the young master. “Young master’s method… really works wonders.”

It’s just a minor trick,” the young master said calmly as he collected the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu. “Our Yinsha Sect has opened many blood nests over the generations. This Gu Attracting Pill’s formula also came from the Blood Nest ruins, so it’s available to any direct disciple.”

Huangfu Jinhuan, who’d been watching by the side, felt his eyes burning with desire, and a flash of greed in his gaze.

On this journey, they’d already captured the fifth Bridal Clothes Blood Gu. If they used it properly, just one Blood Gu could add a Little Sky Pride to the clan, with a middle-class bloodline talent.

Though the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu had a high failure rate and couldn’t be used on their clansmen, they could find servants passed down from generation to generation or members with side branch bloodlines for testing. If they died, they died.

As long as one succeeded, the head of household could be received as a direct son-in-law, and the side branch member could be included in the clan genealogy and promoted to a direct bloodline.

Therefore, in Huangfu Jinhuan’s eyes, the so-called drawbacks of the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu weren’t drawbacks at all. It was all good stuff. You just had to take a detour to make it a heavenly treasure!

The only pity was that the Blood Nest warriors in the Blood Nest had all turned into Blood cocoons to survive the long past ages, and even in their cocoon state, had withered and decayed in the more than a hundred thousand years, leaving the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu inside of them dead.

Only a few Blood Nest warriors survived.

After blasting open the Blood Nest, what came into everyone’s view was an enclosed building like a massive Battle Beast’s Arena. Many facilities inside have been damaged due to the long years, with ruins everywhere.

Once inside, a strong smell of blood cloyed the air. The floor was littered with various remains and damaged Blood Cocoons. What was surprising was that many of the Blood Nest warriors’ bodies were still very fresh.

“This…” Yin Jiu’s face changed slightly. “Young master, did someone break in here before we did?”

“Not quite. I believe when you broke in earlier, you disturbed something inside the Blood Nest Base. It sacrificed some of the living Blood Nest warriors in a blood ritual.”

The young master’s eyes glanced at the middle of the giant Blood Nest, revealing a touch of fanaticism and greed. “As expected, the information I gathered from the ancient literature is accurate. This Blood Nest base has bred some good things.”

In the middle, there was a blood-colored altar. A blood sphere was floating above it, which seemed to contain a Bridal Clothes Blood Gu.

There were also two giant blood cocoons on either side of the altar. The tubular substances on their surfaces, as thick as blood vessels, pulsed continuously, as if something living might burst out at any moment.

“Warning, warning!”

An ear-piercing alarm echoed within the large Blood Nest. “This is Blood Nest Base number 3795. Unidentified intruders, leave the Blood Nest base immediately or we will take forceful measures.”

“As I expected.” A smile crept into the young master’s eyes. “We’re in luck. The Artifact Spirit of this Blood Nest base is still alive!”

Artifact Spirit?

Huangfu Jinhuan paused. He had heard of Artifact Spirits that were said to inhabit very powerful Divine Spiritual Treasures. But he didn’t expect to find one in a Blood Nest base.

He couldn’t help but ask Old Ancestor Hua Ye curiously, “Old ancestor, why would there be an Artifact Spirit in a Blood Nest base? And it even speaks our Great Da Qian language, though the accent is a bit off.”

“This…” Old Ancestor Hua Ye, just a local power, having spent his lifetime exploring ancient ruins, furrowed his brows, unable to comprehend.

“Too ignorant.” Yin Jiu sneered from the side, “How strong was the Divine Martial Dynasty during its peak? In their era, many facilities were controlled by the Artifact Spirit. It’s just that as too many years have passed, many of the Artifact Spirits within the Divine Martial ruins have dissipated.”

“As for saying Da Qian language… the language spoken by the Artifact Spirit is the genuine language of the Divine Martial Dynasty, and yours is merely a simplified version of that ancient language that was passed down from the Divine Martial Dynasty.”

Huangfu Jinhuan was not vexed. Instead, he respectfully said, “Thank you, Mr. Nine, for your guidance. We of the Huangfu Clan are indeed less knowledgeable.”

Seeing his courteous attitude, Mr. Yin relaxed his stern face and explained, “Actually, I don’t blame you. It’s just that both the Yinsha Sect and your Purple Abode Academic Palace have monopolized knowledge like this. Many such knowledge and history are not disseminated to the outside world. The prosperous and powerful state of the Divine Martial Dynasty far exceeds common people’s imagination.”

Meanwhile.

The young man simply stood hands crossed, his voice indifferent, “Artifact Spirit, times have changed. Whether it’s your Blood Nest organization or the Divine Martial Dynasty, they have both long been annihilated. If you’re wise, surrender immediately. This Blood Nest Base will henceforth be inherited and carried forward by me.”

“The Blood Nest organization is destroyed? The Divine Martial Dynasty has fallen?”

The voice of the Blood Nest Artifact Spirit sounded somewhat surprised and lost, “Was it the outer realm demons? Did we fail in that all-out confrontation?”

“You also know about the outer realm demons?” The young man seemed somewhat surprised, his eyes lighting up with excitement, “It seems your wisdom level is not low. You will be able to assist me even better in the future.”

“Confronting the outer realm demons is a responsibility of all humans,” the Artifact Spirit said. “Our Blood Nest Base 3795, although always at odds with the brutal Divine Martial Dynasty, still received orders from Shangfeng and dispatched all elite Blood Nest warriors to the battlefield at the critical moment. Since then, our Blood Nest Base 3795 has been in hibernation. I have been waiting for their return…”

“It’s been a hundred thousand years, your wait is in vain. I have no interest in things of the ancient times,” The young man’s eyes burst with a domineering air, “You have two choices, submission or destruction.”

“Invader, your demands greatly disagree with the system,” the Artifact Spirit said, “I will now initiate the program to annihilate the invader. You have one last chance to retreat.”

As the Artifact Spirit’s words fell.

The two enormous blood cocoons beside the altar suddenly pulsated rapidly and exploded with a “boom”.

Two Blood Nest warriors, each over a yard tall, emerged from the remnants of the cocoons. Their bodies were massive and blood-colored, much like small giants. Each step they took caused the ground to tremble and rumble.

Their imposing manner, coupled with the overwhelmingly strong smell of blood, presented a daunting sight. Judging by their power, they were clearly not Spirit Platform Realm Blood Nest warriors, but ones with Heavenly Human Strength.

A murderous look flashed in the young man’s eyes, “If you don’t drink the toast, you’ll be forced to drink a forfeit. You’re courting death. Hua Ye, you handle one, leave the other to me. Fight from a distance, don’t damage the Blood Altar.”

“Yes, young master.” Old Ancestor Hua Ye didn’t dare to slack off. He waved his Spirit Instrument Level Fire Halberd, encircling a Blood Nest warrior, occasionally fighting and drawing it away.

Just at the beginning of the battle, the expression on Old Ancestor Hua Ye’s face changed. The strength and power of the opposing Blood Nest warrior were shockingly strong, he found it somewhat difficult to resist.

He could only fight as he retreated, keeping his opponent engaged.

“Damn Wang Shouzhe.” As Old Ancestor Hua Ye fought, he inwardly cursed. If not for Wang Shouzhe, how could he, Hua Ye, have fallen so low?

As a venerable Old Ancestor on the brink of the Heavenly Human Realm Mid Stage, even his ancestral magical treasure was gone, and he had to resort to using a mere Mid Grade Spirit Weapon. If his ancestral treasure, the “Fiery War Halberd”, were still in his hands, dealing with a Blood Nest warrior wouldn’t be such a struggle.

What angered him further was that he heard Wang Shouzhe had sold the Fiery War Halberd on the black market!

The underground organization operating the black market was incredibly complex. Once something was sold there, who knew where it would eventually end up. Even if he wanted to retrieve it, it would likely be impossible to do so.

Just as Hua Ye was restraining a Blood Nest warrior, the young man made his move.

He stroked his storage ring, and with a “clang,” a black body coffin was harshly thrown on the ground. A terrifying battle corpse, over two meters tall and body hard like black iron, crawled out.

That battle corpse was etched with countless dense and profound runes, emanating waves of Yin Sha energy.

“This is the master’s Yin Sha Battle Corpse!” Admiration emerged in Yin Jiu’s eyes, “That is the Yin Sha Battle Corpse that the master once refined using countless Heaven and Earth treasures after beating a hostile Tianren realm cultivator to death. Regular early-stage Tianren realm cultivators are no match for it.”

Simultaneously, the young man flipped his hand over, and a demonic blade engulfed in Yin Sha energy appeared. Judging by the oppressive feeling from that demonic blade, it was definitely a magical treasure level weapon on par with the ‘Fiery War Halberd’!”

Huangfu Jinhuan’s pupils slightly contracted. Indeed, as expected of the Yinsha Sect’s Direct Disciple, his means and power are truly extraordinary.

However, what of it?

After my plan, young master, all your efforts today will end up like the name of the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu, they will become the wedding clothes for our Huangfu Clan.”
