Protect Our Patriarch

Deep within the Blood Nest Base!

In front of a gruesome and ferocious-looking Blood Nest, Ancestor Huaye was engulfed in raging flames. With only a "Spirit Artifact" level fire spear, he obliterated two frenzied Blood Nest warriors.

The Blood Nest warriors were formidable, much more so than the ancestors of the same level from other families. Even when Ancestor Huaye made his move, it took considerable effort.

After their bodies twisted for a moment, a Blood Gu parasite burst out from each of them. They were entirely red, with ferocious mouthparts, and their bellies were filled with essence blood.

They rushed towards Ancestor Huaye, instinctively sensing that the enemy who could kill their host was more qualified to become their new host.

The Blood Gu, after generations of cultivation, had developed its own set of rules. Those hosts who couldn't withstand the bloodline transformation and went mad were merely their puppets.

Only those hosts who could ultimately resist would willingly dedicate their lives and contribute all their essence to the host.

It had to be admitted, although the Blood Gu was bizarre, it was a very miraculous species.

At the same time.

Yin Jiu's figure flickered, blocking in front of Ancestor Huaye, and opened two specially prepared jade boxes. Inside the boxes, a special pill called "Gu Attracting Pill" had been placed. Once stimulated by Xuan Qi, the scent instantly spread.

The Blood Gu, upon smelling the Gu Attracting Pill, became even more frenzied and agitated, and dove headfirst into the jade box.

After Yin Jiu easily captured the two Blood Gu, he respectfully handed the jade box to the young master: "Young master, your method is indeed effective."

"Merely a small trick." The young master casually put away the Blood Gu, "Our Yin Sha Sect has opened many Blood Nests over the generations. This Gu Attracting Pill is a formula obtained from the relics of the Blood Nest, which can be exchanged by direct disciples."

Huangfu Jin Huan, who was standing by, watched with envy, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes.

On the way here, they had already captured the fifth Blood Gu. If used properly, a single Blood Gu could add a young prodigy with a bloodline talent reaching the upper-middle level to the family.

Although the failure rate of the Blood Gu was not low and it was not suitable to use on clan members, they could experiment with hereditary servants or collateral bloodlines. If they died, they died.

As long as one succeeded, the servant could be taken as a son-in-law, and the collateral relatives could be included in the family tree, promoted to direct bloodline.

Therefore, in Huangfu Jin Huan's eyes, the drawbacks of the Blood Gu were not drawbacks at all. It was a good thing, and with a little twist, it became a heaven-defying treasure!

The only pity was that the Blood Nest warriors in the Blood Nest had turned into blood cocoons to survive the long years, and even in the cocoon state, they had withered and decayed over the tens of thousands of years, and the Blood Gu in the bodies of the Blood Nest warriors had also died.

The Blood Nest warriors who survived were, after all, a minority.

After the Blood Nest was destroyed, what came into everyone's view was a closed building like a giant beast-fighting arena. Due to the long years, many facilities inside had been damaged, and there were ruins everywhere.

Upon entering, one could smell a strong scent of blood, and the ground was littered with various remains and broken cocoons. Surprisingly, many of the bodies of the Blood Nest warriors were still fresh.

"This..." Yin Jiu's face changed slightly, "Young master, has someone broken in here before us?"

"Not exactly, it should be that when you broke in before, you disturbed something in the Blood Nest Base, and it used some of the living Blood Nest warriors for a blood sacrifice."

The young master's eyes glanced towards the center of this giant Blood Nest, revealing a trace of fanaticism and greed, "As expected, the information I compiled from ancient documents is consistent, this Blood Nest Base has cultivated some good things."

In the very center, there was a blood-colored altar. Above it floated a blood-colored spherical object, and within the sphere, there seemed to be a Blood Gu.

On both sides of the altar were two giant blood cocoons, the tubular objects on the surface pulsating like blood vessels, as if something alive was about to burst out at any moment.

"Warning, warning!"

A piercing warning sound echoed in the space of this large Blood Nest, "This is Blood Nest Base No. 3795, unknown intruders, immediately leave the Blood Nest Base, or we will take forceful measures."

"As expected." A hint of joy appeared in the young master's eyes, "We're in luck, the Spirit Artifact of this Blood Nest Base is still alive!"

Spirit Artifact?

Huangfu Jin Huan's expression froze, he had heard of some legendary powerful divine treasures possessing Spirit Artifacts. However, he didn't expect that even a Blood Nest Base would have a Spirit Artifact.

He couldn't help but curiously ask Ancestor Huaye: "Ancestor, why would a Blood Nest Base have a Spirit Artifact? And it even speaks our Daqian language, although the accent is a bit different."

"This..." Ancestor Huaye, who was just a local tycoon and had explored ancient relics all his life, could only frown and was at a loss for words."Rarely seen, often wondered." Yin Jiu sneered from the side, "How powerful was the Shenwu Dynasty at its peak? In their era, many facilities were controlled by Spirit Artifacts. However, due to the passage of time, many Spirit Artifacts within the Shenwu relics have perished."

"As for the Daqian language... The Spirit Artifact speaks the authentic language of the Shenwu Dynasty. Your Daqian language is just a simplified version of the ancient language passed down from the Shenwu Dynasty."

Huangfu Jin Huan was not annoyed, but thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Jiu, for your clarification. Our Huangfu's Clan is indeed less knowledgeable."

Seeing his politeness, Mr. Yin immediately softened his stern face and explained, "It's not your fault. Both the Yinsha Sect and your Zifu Academy have monopolized such knowledge. Many pieces of knowledge and history are not disseminated. The prosperity and strength of the Shenwu Dynasty far exceed the imagination of ordinary people."

Meanwhile.

The young master stood with his hands behind his back, his voice cold, "Spirit Artifact, times have changed. Both your Blood Nest organization and the Shenwu Dynasty have long been destroyed. The wise should surrender immediately. This Blood Nest base will be inherited and carried forward by me."

"The Blood Nest organization is destroyed? The Shenwu Dynasty is destroyed?"

The voice of the Blood Nest Spirit Artifact sounded somewhat surprised and lost, "Was it the extraterrestrial demons? Did we lose the all-out confrontation?"

"You know about the extraterrestrial demons?" The young master was somewhat surprised, his eyes becoming more excited, "It seems that your intelligence level is not low, you can assist me better in the future."

"Confronting the extraterrestrial demons is the responsibility of all mankind." The Spirit Artifact said, "Our Blood Nest Base No. 3795, although always against the brutal Shenwu Dynasty, received orders from the peak at the critical moment and dispatched all high-level Blood Nest warriors to the battlefield. Since then, our Blood Nest Base No. 3795 has entered a dormant state. I have been waiting for their return..."

"It's been a hundred thousand years, you can't wait any longer. I'm not interested in ancient matters." The young master's eyes burst with dominance, "I give you two choices, submit or be destroyed?"

"Intruder, your request does not comply with the program." The Spirit Artifact said, "I will now initiate the program to eliminate intruders. You have one last chance to withdraw."

As the Spirit Artifact's voice fell.

The two giant blood cocoons next to the altar suddenly pulsed rapidly and exploded with a "boom".

Two Blood Nest warriors over ten feet tall stepped out of the remnants of the blood cocoons. Their bodies were huge and blood-colored, like small giants. Each step they took caused the ground to tremble slightly and rumble.

Their momentum was terrifying, and the strong smell of blood rushed towards them. Their strength was clearly not that of Lingtai Realm Blood Nest warriors, but of the Heavenly Man Realm.

A murderous intent flashed in the young master's eyes, "You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. You're seeking death. Huaye, you deal with one, the other one is mine. Fight at a distance, don't damage the blood altar."

"Yes, young master." Ancestor Huaye did not dare to slack off, wielding a spirit-level fire halberd, he circled one of the Blood Nest warriors, fighting and leading it outside.

But as soon as they started fighting, Ancestor Huaye's face changed. The strength and power of the Blood Nest warrior were so outrageous that he could barely hold on.

He had no choice but to fight and retreat, holding it off.

"Damn Wang Shouzhe." Ancestor Huaye cursed in his heart while fighting. If it weren't for Wang Shouzhe, how could he, Huaye, have fallen to such a state?

A dignified mid-stage Heavenly Man Realm ancestor, even his ancestral treasure was gone, and he could only use a medium-grade spirit weapon to fight. If he still had the ancestral "Fire Halberd", it wouldn't be so hard to fight a Blood Nest warrior.

What's more, he heard that Wang Shouzhe had sold the Fire Halberd on the black market!

The black market was a place with complex underground organization relationships. Once something was sold there, who knew where it would end up. Even if he wanted to retrieve it, it would probably be difficult.

Just as Huaye was holding off a Blood Nest warrior, the young master made his move.

He swiped his storage ring, and with a "clang", a black coffin for storing corpses slammed heavily on the ground. From it crawled out a ferocious battle corpse over two meters tall, its body like black iron.

The battle corpse was covered in numerous intricate runes, emitting waves of Yinsha energy.

"This is the young master's Yinsha Xuan Corpse!" Admiration appeared in Yin Jiu's eyes, "It was a Heavenly Man Realm cultivator who was once beaten to death by the young master, and then refined into a Yinsha Xuan Corpse using countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Even some weaker early-stage Heavenly Man Realm cultivators are not its match."

At the same time, the young master flipped his hand, and a demonic blade filled with Yinsha energy appeared in his hand. Judging from the oppressive aura of the demonic blade, it was definitely a treasure-level weapon on par with the "Fire Halberd"!

Huangfu Jin Huan's pupils slightly contracted, indeed worthy of being a direct disciple of the Yinsha Sect, his methods and strength were truly extraordinary.However, even so, what of it?

Under my scheme, Huangfu Jin Huan, all the efforts you've made today are just like the name of the Blood Gu in the bridal gown, ultimately serving as a wedding dress for my Huangfu Clan.
