saint of humanity

As soon as these words came out, Xue Ju's face changed slightly.

Since meeting Lu Ye again, in just a few sentences, Lu Ye had always asked about the things he had been worried about.

There must be something wrong with Xue Tianxing's bloodline, he knew that clearly, but given the situation at the time, he would not be able to advance to Semi-Saint if he did not refine Xue Tianxing's bloodline, and it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Source Realm.

Refining the Xue Tian Xing bloodline is like drinking poison to quench thirst, but even if he knew it, he had no choice.

Furthermore, when he borrowed Lu Ye's power to poison Xue Tian Xing, did Lu Ye secretly poison himself?

However, all these worries disappeared when Lu Ye left the Source Realm and was attacked by the True Saint that day.

Because he felt that Lu Ye would definitely die that day.

Until this moment Lu Ye stood in front of him again, all those worries came to his mind again.

Just when Xue Jiu was feeling uneasy, a flash of knife light suddenly came floating over, and it was Lu Ye who took direct action.

"You dare!" Xue Jiu was furious. He urged the Taoist power in his body and was about to fight back, but he felt something unusual inside his body, as if billions of needles had pierced into his body in an instant, causing extremely painful pain. Not only that, even his blood and the flow of Taoist power suddenly stagnated a lot.

The toxins in the body...exploded!

Xue Jiu finally felt the pain of the Blood Heaven Punishment that day. The moment the poison in his body erupted, his breath suddenly weakened.

If it was the blood feud from before, in this situation, Lu Ye could have taken his life with one sword.

However, Xue Ju is now a semi-saint after all. Even though his strength has been weakened by the poison, he is still powerful.

What's more, he is also blessed by a Hong-level Hedao Pearl.

The blood and energy condensed outside, and the power of Tao surged, turning into a layer of blood-stained clothes.

The blade chopped down, and Xue Jiu, whose face was almost twisted with pain, trembled all over. He couldn't help but retreat backwards and hit a wall before he could stabilize himself.

The blood-stained clothes covering his body were almost completely cut by the blade, leaving faint cuts on his skin.

"You..." Leaning against the wall, Xue Jiu looked at Lu Ye with trembling eyes and was speechless for a moment.

It is undeniable that when he saw Lu Ye just now, he had a strong desire to kill him, because as long as he could kill Lu Ye, he would not have to worry about the poison in his body. Anyway, that thing is invisible and cannot be detected on a normal day. As long as Lu Ye does not activate it, it will not hinder him in any way.

But the strong murderous intent disappeared instantly with Lu Ye's knife.

Because the power of this sword was beyond Xueju's expectations!

Compared to when Lu Ye left the Source Realm, this guy's strength has actually increased significantly. Just from the power of that one sword, one can feel that Lu Ye's strength has increased by at least 30% compared to before.

Xue Ju couldn't understand it. How could a person's strength change so drastically in such a short period of time?

Just based on that one strike of the sword, Xue Ju dared to conclude that Lu Ye now had the capital to compete with a semi-saint!

He wanted to kill him because he felt that after he was promoted to Semi-Saint, Lu Ye would definitely not be his opponent, even if Lu Ye detonated the poison in his body.

But if he had known that Lu Ye's strength had grown to this point, he would never have the intention to kill him, because he would not be able to kill him, and would even become enemies with Lu Ye.

The stinging pain all over his body suddenly disappeared without a trace at this moment, and the stagnant blood and Taoist power in his body also returned to normal, as if the poison just now was just an illusion. Not far away, Lu Ye, who was standing in place, slowly put away his knife and nodded slightly, saying: "Promoted to a semi-saint, the blood master's strength has indeed improved greatly, which is cause for celebration!"

Xue Jiu's expression changed several times, and suddenly he laughed loudly: "Congratulations, Brother Lu's strength is no longer what it used to be. I am really shocked!"

These words were not just politeness, nor were they false. Xue Ju was truly shocked.

The two pairs of eyes collided briefly, then each of them retracted their sharpness and walked closer with a smile.

Xue Ju said: "Brother Lu, we swore a blood oath in the Source Realm. Don't worry, whether in the Source Realm or here, I, Xue Ju, will stand by Brother Lu's side, and live and die together!"

The Blood Lord was a wise man. Knowing that he could not kill Lu Ye at the moment, his mentality changed immediately.

He also knew why Lu Ye suddenly attacked him. It was simply to show his strength to him. Words were not enough. Only by drawing his sword could he know that Lu Ye was not someone to be trifled with. Otherwise, no matter how much he talked, it would be useless.

"Of course I won't forget the blood oath." Lu Ye nodded. He had already burned away the blood oath with the power of the talent tree. This thing could only restrain the blood guilt.

As for the things like advancing and retreating together, sharing life and death, just listen to it and don't take it seriously.

Xue Ju is just making this choice after assessing the situation. If Lu Ye really gets into trouble one day, he will definitely be the quickest to take advantage of the situation than anyone else.

After a few simple words, the tension was gone. The two guys, each with their own ulterior motives, were like good brothers who had not seen each other for many years, talking and laughing happily.

"Blood Lord, I have something I want to ask you." After saying a few words, Lu Ye's expression became serious.

"You tell me, everything I know, I will tell you without reservation." Xue Jiu's face also frowned.

"The Nine Saints have entered Xingyuan, the seal on Yuan Island has been loosened, and Yuan's will has begun to awaken. Have you ever had any contact with him?" Lu Ye asked.

Xuejiu blinked and was secretly frightened.

I don’t understand how Lu Ye, who is in Xingyuan, knows so much about the Source Realm.

But then he thought of Si Shengyao who had escaped from the Source Realm before. Since Lu Ye was able to find him first, Si Shengyao must have had contact with Lu Ye.

He immediately understood in his heart that he could not fool Lu Ye about the matters of the Source Realm, because this guy knew more than he thought.

Xue Jiu shook his head and said, "Without direct contact, Yuan's will has indeed begun to awaken, but as long as the nine-pillar seal is not broken, it will not be able to wake up completely. We can only say that it will occasionally convey some vague will now."

If Yuan's will was all instinctive before, then at this moment Yuan was like being in a deep sleep, with occasional bursts of his own thoughts, which were clearer and more precise than his previous instincts.

Xue Ju hesitated for a moment and said, "Before I... and the other semi-saints left the source world, Yuan had conveyed his will."

"what?"

"Collect the core fragments of the Hedao Pearl, and then exterminate the human race, the dragon race, and the phoenix race!"

Lu Ye frowned.

Si Shengyi had said before that Yuan wanted to exterminate the human race, but he did not mention the dragon and phoenix races. It was probably because there were no creatures of the dragon and phoenix races in the Source Realm.

Lu Ye could understand why Yuan had such a will.

The ancestors of the Dragon and Phoenix clans were of human origin. The Dragon and Phoenix clans in Xingyuan are also his bloodlines. Xingyuan wants to exterminate these three clans simply because of hatred.

As for collecting the core fragments of the Hedao Pearl...

Lu Ye couldn't figure out what Yuan intended to do for a moment.

But according to rumors, the He Dao Pearl is the most powerful treasure in the entire Xing Yuan, which can mobilize the Taoist power of the entire Xing Yuan. Lu Ye secretly guessed that Yuan wanted to collect the core fragments of the He Dao Pearl. Could it be that he wanted to reassemble the complete He Dao Pearl?
If so, it might be disappointed, because one of the core fragments is with Lu Ye, and he also has a large number of ordinary fragments.

Therefore, unless Yuan can kill him, he will never be able to reassemble the complete Hedao Pearl. Not to mention, there are so many Hedao Cities in the entire Xingyuan, and countless Hedao Pearl fragments are scattered outside. Who has the ability to reassemble this most powerful treasure?
"How did you get here?" Lu Ye gathered his thoughts and asked again, "And why are there only five of you?"

Xue Ju was slightly shocked. This guy Lu Ye even knew that there were five semi-saints coming. Is his ability to gather intelligence so strong?

The only possibility he could think of now was that Lu Ye had placed hidden spies near the place where they appeared, and even they, the semi-saints, were unable to detect it.

"Is this how you left the Source Realm that day?" Xue Jiu asked instead of answering.

Lu Ye said: "Ba Qiu advanced and broke through, and cut through the barrier of the source world before severing his own foundation."

Under normal circumstances, Ba Qiu doesn't have this ability, even if he is the number one person in the world.

But that point in time was the critical moment for his promotion to True Saint. He could almost be said to have one foot in the Source Realm, so he could do such a thing.

"Since then, there has been a flaw in the barrier of the Source Realm. Previously, we surrounded and killed Si Shengcai, and we were also nearby. During the battle, Si Shengcai found the flaw and escaped from the Source Realm, but the barrier of the Source Realm was repaired very quickly. So after Si Shengcai escaped, we spent some time making some arrangements, and then we forced the barrier open. As for why only five of you can come..." Xue Jiu frowned, "I guess it has something to do with the restrictions of the Source Realm. As for what the connection is, I don't know."

Lu Ye nodded slightly. Xue Ju's guess was the same as his. Otherwise, there would be no reason for only five semi-saints to come.

If this is the case, there should be more Semi-Saints coming later, because the source realm is merging, the power of the Nine Pillars Sealing is weakening, and the power of the restriction is definitely also weakening.

"What are your plans next?" Lu Ye asked.

Xue Ju said: "I asked them to condense the Hedao beads first. The next step should be to attack the ten Hedao cities." He originally wanted to break the Phoenix Nest first and then destroy the Dragon City, but it was not appropriate to say this in front of Lu Ye.

Lu Ye pondered.

Five semi-saints are attacking. Even if he has dealt with the blood guilt, there are still four left. If these four work together, it will be difficult to deal with them.

Fortunately, the four semi-saints are now acting separately, which is a good opportunity.

Those people probably would never have imagined that there were people in this Star Abyss who dared to target them.

"With your current strength, how does it compare to those others?" Lu Ye asked again.

"Just barely in the center." Xuejiu responded honestly.

Lu Ye frowned: "Don't you have a Hong-level Hedao Pearl?" He left that to Xue Jiu specifically when he left the Source Realm, for fear that he would not be able to gain a foothold in the Source Realm.

Xue Jiu said: "We all thought wrong. The Hedao Pearl does have a good effect on the Hedao level, but the effect on the semi-saint is not that great. The Hong-level Hedao Pearl can only increase my strength by 10% at most!" (End of this chapter)
