Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Is there not enough blood?

Do you want to verify it again?

Ye Zhenzhen wore a troubled expression. "It hurts so much."

"Hahaha"

Elder Hu smiled broadly. This little girl is still a bit naive.

"No, it won't happen, just a little blood."

Ye Zhenzhen reluctantly extended her right hand with a conflicted expression.

Elder Hu immediately cut Ye Zhenzhen's finger again, and large drops of blood fell down.

Elder Hu quickly caught it with his roots, and then, something unexpected happened.

Nourished by the blood, the roots instantly came back to life and began to grow rapidly.

Leaves sprouted, quickly turned green, and roots rapidly extended downwards, as if trying to reach the ground and penetrate deep underground.

When Elder Hu saw this, his mouth stretched so wide it almost reached his ears, and all 16 of his teeth were stretched out.

Ye Zhenzhen was shocked to see this. She had never realized that her blood could stimulate the growth of plants.

Taking advantage of Elder Hu's good mood, I decided to ask, pretending to be startled, pointing to the root system in Elder Hu's hand, "Grandpa Hu, what's going on? It, it, it, how come it's growing so fast?"

Elder Hu smiled reassuringly, "It's alright, little girl. Have you ever heard of the famous Helian family from decades ago?"

"No."

“It’s normal if you haven’t heard of it. Grandpa’s in a good mood today, so I can tell you about it.” As he spoke, Elder Hu stroked his beard. “45 years ago, not far from here, there was a Helian family. For some reason, all the disciples of their family had wood spirit roots, and these wood spirit roots were quite extraordinary.”

"Unusual? What's unusual about it?"

"Don't rush, let Grandpa tell you in detail. Their disciples' wood spirit roots have strong healing properties."

"What do you mean?"

"Their healing techniques are very effective, whether on humans or demonic beasts; moreover, the healing pills and talismans they refine are also very effective."

"They must have been very popular, right? What happened next?"

"You're still young! You don't understand the principle of 'possessing a treasure invites trouble.' Then, many disciples of the Helian family mysteriously disappeared. Some were captured, imprisoned, and exploited to the fullest extent of their value. Others fared even worse and died."

"It's so bad, didn't the patriarch of the Helian family try to solve it?"

"Two fists can't beat four hands! How could a small Helian family possibly stand up to so many greedy people? And just like that, the Helian family was wiped out by who knows who."

That's true. If many families are coveting the Helian family's healing abilities, it's not surprising that they end up like this.

"Did those executioners discover the secret of the Helian family?"

Elder Hu shook his head. "No, but not long after the Helian family was destroyed, a rumor spread that this secret was hidden in the Helian family's ancestral tombs, and..."

Elder Hu paused, staring at Ye Zhenzhen with eyes that seemed to see a treasure.

Ye Zhenzhen dropped her innocent expression and replied with a smile, "Besides, only someone from the Helian family can open this ancestral tomb!"

Elder Hu watched Ye Zhenzhen's expression change and his smile vanished. "You guessed it?"

Ye Zhenzhen stood up, rubbed the spot she had just cut with her fingers, and the wound healed instantly.

It's so useful, I'm so glad I found it!

Ye Zhendong and Ye Zhenwen, who were not far away, also stood up and stood behind Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen grabbed Ye Zhenwen's hand, concentrated her wood-elemental spiritual power on her fingers, and gently brushed it across the wound in the middle of Ye Zhenwen's palm. The wound, which had stopped bleeding, disappeared instantly.

Ye Zhenwen looked at his hands and thought, "They're really useful."

Just as Ye Zhenzhen was about to grab Ye Zhendong's hand, he pushed her away.

Ye Zhendong stretched out his injured hand, "I was just thinking that a fight might break out, so I took a healing pill, and it's healed now."

Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen turned around and looked at Elder Hu and the other two who were dumbfounded.

Elder Hu pointed at Ye Zhenzhen, "You, you people, don't have Chinese medicine?"

He turned and glared at Yang Biao, "How did you do your job?"

Yang Biao looked annoyed. Why couldn't he open this damn door no matter what?

Hearing this accusation again, his eyes were full of impatience, but he still earnestly argued, "That's impossible. Those kids all said they were drugged."

Yang Hu leaned close to his brother Yang Biao and whispered, "Brother, we left in a hurry and I don't think we mentioned the Chinese medicine."

Yang Biao glared at his good-for-nothing younger brother and said through gritted teeth, "Shut up."

Although Yang Hu spoke softly, everyone in the cell heard him.

Elder Hu glared at the two brothers who were more trouble than they were worth, and pointed at Ye Zhenzhen and the other two, "I'm leaving them to you. As long as this little girl is alive, that's fine. The other two, cripple them and keep them as blood slaves."

After saying that, Elder Hu walked to the door and said, "Open the door."

Yang Biao was anxious; he wanted to open it, but he couldn't!

Yang Biao was so anxious that he was covered in sweat and could only stammer, unable to open his mouth.

Ye Zhenzhen watched the spectacle with a smile, "It's not that he doesn't want to drive, it's that he can't."

Upon hearing this, Elder Hu, Yang Biao, and Yang Hu all turned to look at Ye Zhenzhen.

"Was it you who did this?" Yang Biao said.

"What else?" Ye Zhenzhen said frankly.

"you wanna die."

After saying this, Yang Biao summoned his broadsword, raised it with both hands, and slashed fiercely at Ye Zhenzhen.

"How stupid!" Ye Zhenzhen snapped her fingers lightly, a smug smile on her face.

In an instant, Yang Biao's broadsword fell straight to the ground.

With a loud bang, everyone was startled and involuntarily took a step back.

what's the situation?

Everyone had the same thought.

Yang Biao felt cold, and the sweat on his forehead turned into cold sweat. How could that be?

Will not!

He made a hand seal, intending to unleash a fireball.

I only saw a tiny spark on my fingertip before it went out.

"How could this happen? What did you do?" Yang Biao roared.

Ye Zhenzhen picked at her ears impatiently, "So noisy!"

Just as you're about to get closer and make a sarcastic remark, you might be met with two axes coming straight at you.

With another snap of his fingers, both machetes fell to the ground at the same time.

"Out of control."

Ye Zhenzhen kicked two axes away, sending them flying straight towards Yang Hu.

Yang Hu tried to dodge, but he couldn't keep up with the speed and was slammed against the wall.

The axe got stuck in Yang Hu's shoulder blade, rendering him unable to move.

Seeing that Yang Biao and Yang Hu were subdued as soon as they made a move, Elder Hu began to panic.

Ye Zhenzhen walked step by step toward Elder Hu, "Grandpa Hu, you were involved in the destruction of the Helian family, weren't you?"

Elder Hu's eyes darted away as he heard this, and he denied it, saying, "No, really no, I just heard it from others."

Suddenly, Elder Hu's eyes widened. "You're from the Helian family? You've come for revenge?"
