saint of humanity

Thinking of this, Xue Jiu was startled again.

Believe it or not, Lu Ye might actually be secretly poisoning someone. The key is that his poison is invisible and extremely well-hidden, so he has no ability to distinguish between the real and the fake.

"It seems the Blood Lord doesn't really want the Blood Abyss's bloodline?"

Just as various thoughts were churning in Xue Jiu's mind, Lu Ye suddenly spoke up: "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony!"

Xue Jiu was shocked and hurriedly said, "How is this possible! I... I was just overjoyed and didn't expect that we could kill Xue Yuan so easily!"

He secretly thought to himself that Lu Ye must have seen through his concerns, which was why he said that on purpose, just to force him to make a choice quickly.

What choice does he have?
He had no choice at all!
The main purpose of this attack on Xue Yuan was to seize his bloodline. Now that Xue Yuan is dead, how could Xue Jiu possibly give up?

With a determined look in his heart, Xue Jiu said, "Fellow Daoists, please protect me while I collect Xue Yuan's bloodline!"

In a short time, he figured it out. Since he had no choice, he shouldn't think too much. Anyway, he was already poisoned, so it didn't matter if he was poisoned a little more. Just like how one is not worried about having too much debt or lice, Lu Ye would eventually need his help. As long as he didn't have any ulterior motives, the poison wouldn't have much of an impact on him.

Since Xue Jiu wanted to take the Blood Abyss bloodline, Lu Ye and Si Shengya naturally withdrew from the Blood Sea and found a place nearby to recuperate.

I sustained a minor injury during the battle, but it's not a big problem. The main issue is that it took a lot of energy.

As for Lu Ye, it goes without saying that during the great battle, his Dao power was consumed even more severely. This was because Xue Jiu was right; he had secretly poisoned the Blood Sea. He had originally thought that if his attack failed and Xue Yuan forcibly withdrew from the Blood Sea to escape, he would still have a backup plan. However, with Si Shengya's entry, Xue Yuan gave up the idea of ​​escaping, which saved him some trouble.

Unsealing those storage rings revealed quite a few good items.

Xue Yuan holds a high position and great power among the vampires, and the wealth he has accumulated over countless years is not to be underestimated. He naturally brought it with him when he came here from the Origin Realm.

However, most of the things were of little use to Lu Ye, except for the enormous number of Dao fish, which made Lu Ye extremely happy.

Now we don't have to worry about cultivation resources for a while.

He divided the spoils in two, giving one portion to Si Shengsheng, who accepted it after a brief hesitation.

He also had a hard time in the Origin Realm. The Cage Sea itself was poor in resources, and the human race was targeted by various races. Si Sheng had very few ways to obtain anything good in the Origin Realm.

After finishing all that, Lu Ye began to activate the power of the Talent Tree to devour the Xuanhuang Annihilation Axe.

As originally planned, the power of this treasure was retained in the talent tree, and the remaining nutrients were all transferred to the Soul-Suppressing Bell, which further enhanced the power of the treasure fruit.

Jin Yao was delighted.

Although she is currently only a spirit of a supreme treasure, she can also benefit from the increased power of her own supreme treasure.

It only took Xue Jiu half a day to gather the vast sea of ​​blood and bring the bloodline that originally belonged to Xue Yuan back to himself. However, if he wanted to completely refine and fuse it, he would need to make some further efforts. It was not that he could completely refine it just by taking over the sea of ​​blood.

His strength hasn't increased much, but his potential has. In other words, once he fully refines the Blood Abyss Bloodline, he will have the opportunity to break through his original limits and reach a new height.

There's no time for him to refine his bloodline right now.

Although Xueyuan is dead, there are still three half-saints from the Origin Realm in this Star Abyss.

According to Lu Ye's plan, these three cannot be let go and must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise things will become troublesome when more and more half-saints come from the Origin Realm.

Without lingering for long, the three figures quickly sped off towards the location of the Origin Realm Fusion Land.

There are still several days until the agreed time, so if we are lucky, we may be able to defeat those three half-saints one by one.

Upon arriving at the location, under Lu Ye's arrangement, Xue Jiu, as before, followed the direction in which a certain demigod had left to search for traces, while Lu Ye and Si Shengya hid nearby, waiting for news.

Once Blood Blade makes a discovery, the two of them can quickly go to provide support.

Even if Xue Jiu is not discovered, those three half-saints will definitely return when the appointed day arrives, and then it will simply be a test of their strength.

With three against three, no one is afraid of anyone.

Time flies, and several days have passed.

When the appointed day arrived, Lu Ye, who was cultivating, slowly opened his eyes and saw a streak of blood-red light flying from afar.

It was the Blood Blade who had left earlier.

As they approached, the bloody light dissipated, revealing Xue Jiu's figure. He looked at Lu Ye and slowly shook his head: "Didn't find it! What's the situation here?"

Lu Ye also shook his head: "There's no sign of them."

Xue Jiu was bewildered: "It can't be that bad. The agreed time has passed, why is no one here?"

Lu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "The news must have leaked."

Upon hearing this, Xue Jiu frowned immediately: "You mean Xue Yuan sent them a message before he died?"

"There is no other possibility! Don't forget how you made contact with Blood Abyss."

Xue Jiu thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "It was my oversight. I didn't expect these guys to have been on guard against me all along."

He was able to easily contact Blood Abyss and find this veteran vampire half-saint because they were both vampires, and Blood Abyss had left him with a secret technique for communication.

Just like the secret technique he left on Lu Ye back then.

Now that I think about it, Blood Abyss probably left the same secret technique on the other three half-saints as well, so Blood Abyss could pass messages to them.

Unfortunately, Xue Jiu was completely unaware of this.

It's only natural that the Blood Abyss people are wary of Blood Blade.

Firstly, Xue Jiu's status as a half-saint was obtained through illegitimate means; he seized the bloodline of other half-saints of the vampire race.

Secondly, this is Xingyuan, where Xue Jiu has lived for many years and has a deep foundation, while Xue Yuan and his group are newcomers, so of course we have to be on guard.

Given the current situation, it must be that Xueyuan sent a message to those three before he died, so even though the agreed time has arrived, they are nowhere to be found.

Blood Blame couldn't find anyone either.

"What should we do now?" Xue Jiu frowned deeply.

If things are as suspected, the three demigods must have gathered together by now. The Star Abyss is so vast, who knows where they might have gone?

Moreover, even if they are found, it will not be easy to ambush them as long as they are not alone.

“Let’s go back first…” Lu Ye pondered. “No matter where they are, they must be hiding right now. However, if three half-saints gather in one place and cause a commotion, news will inevitably spread. You should remind your insect-blooded clans to keep an eye on their whereabouts.”

Xue Jiu nodded in agreement.

He had no grudge against those three, but since he had allied with Lu Ye, he could only stand on the opposite side.

A short while later, the three of them returned to the Phoenix Nest by using the Hehe Realm as a transit point.

Lu Ye immediately used the Dragon Book to contact many dragon clans, informing them of the current situation and instructing the dragon clans to send people to Chi Lian and Wangu City to warn both sides to be careful.

Given the current environment, city lords like Ni Chilian and Xiao Qianchen, as long as they are in Xingyuan, must have already felt their own constraints loosening. They will most likely go into seclusion to break through to the half-saint realm, just like the Dragon Lord and Phoenix Lord.

Although Ni Chilian had previously refined the Qiankun Cauldron in the starry sky, this treasure itself had no sentience, so refining it should not have been difficult for Ni Chilian.

Therefore, she has most likely already returned to her Crimson Flame City.

When the Half-Saints like Blood Abyss came out of the Origin Realm, they all received instructions from the Will of the Abyss, so they should be eyeing the Ten Great Dao Integration Cities.

Lu Ye didn't care about the fate of Hongtu and Gu Mingyue, but he couldn't ignore Ni Chilian and Xiao Qianchen.

Putting aside Ni Chilian, with whom he has a past relationship, and with the Starry Sky needing Chilian City to protect it, even if they don't have a direct relationship, Lu Ye cannot allow a half-saint from the Origin Realm to usurp his place.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so Xiao Qianchen is worth trying to win over, since he has always been at odds with Hongtu and others.

Not long after returning to Phoenix Nest, while Lu Ye was cultivating, Xue Jiu suddenly rushed over: "Lu Ye, we've found those three guys."

"Where?" Lu Ye hurriedly opened his eyes.

"Just half a day ago, they ran to Hundred Battles City, rampaging all the way, and when they arrived at the city gates, they alarmed Hongtu, and were then welcomed into the city by this fellow," Xue Jiu said.

He knew all this because there were still quite a few members of the Insect Blood Clan in Hundred Battles City. Many cultivators from both clans had witnessed this event firsthand and then tried to pass the news to him.

Lu Ye was stunned: "Hongtu... just let them into the city like that? Doesn't he know that's like inviting a wolf into the house?"

One of the tasks of the several semi-saints who came here was to collect the core fragments of the Dao Integration Pearl, which can only be found in the ten Dao Integration Cities.

Therefore, it is only natural that they have their eyes on Hundred Battles City, because of all the existing top ten cities, Hundred Battles City is the closest to the place of fusion with the Origin Realm.

Therefore, their most likely purpose in this trip is to forcibly conquer Hundred Battles City and seize the core fragments.

Hongtu isn't stupid; how could he not sense their hostility? But if that's the case, why did he welcome them into the city?

"Of course he knows." Xue Jiu sneered. "But did he have a choice? According to our original plan, after obtaining the Dao Integration Pearl, we were going to start conquering the Ten Great Daos. Now that three Half-Saints have arrived, it's no use for Hong Tu to put up a stubborn resistance. Don't be fooled by the fact that this guy has three heads; he's actually more timid than anyone else."

Lu Ye couldn't help but frown.

Xue Jiu continued, "Not to mention, what you've done lately has been terrifying. You've breached Senluo City, and you've breached Shibu City too. How could Hongtu not feel threatened? He's probably been living in constant worry, fearing you might come knocking at his door at any moment. Under such circumstances, if three half-saints suddenly arrive, what do you think he'll do?"
