When Lu Ye triggered the Blood Technique, all the Blood Race members were momentarily dazed, not knowing whether this newcomer was a human race or a Sacred Seed.

To call him human race, yet he could easily use the Blood Technique and effortlessly exert bloodline suppression on these Sacred Race members.

To call him a Sacred Seed, yet he clearly appeared as a human race in body!

These many Blood Race beings had lived for so many years and had never encountered such a bizarre event.

In that fleeting moment of distraction, Lu Ye had already dashed into the gathering of Divine Sea Realm Blood Race, his figure flitting by as dazzling blade light burst forth!

With the burst of blade light came a flash of blood; in that instant, over a dozen Divine Sea Realm Blood Race figures closest to Lu Ye fell from the sky, including the Divine Sea Level 9 Blood Race who had attacked before.

His head had been severed from his neck, with blood spraying out, and his wide eyes staring in death unseeing.

This was the terror of bloodline suppression. With Lu Ye's current strength, he could certainly manage to kill this Blood Race, but it wouldn't have been this straightforward and easy, like slaughtering a chicken.

Yet, under the natural advantage of bloodline suppression, these impossible feats became possible, and Lu Ye even managed to kill more than a dozen slightly weaker Divine Sea Realm Blood Race members together.

It was only then that Lu Ye suddenly realized that the greatest gain from his previous trip to the Blood Refinement World might not have been successfully ascending to Divine Sea, but the fortuitous refining of a drop of Sacred Blood, which endowed him with the saintliness unique to a Sacred Seed!

This trace of saintliness, which could be constantly strengthened through absorbing more Sacred Blood, would perhaps shine brilliantly in the impending war!

Lu Ye looked forward to this greatly.

But before that, he still needed to resolve the problem facing Lann Qiyue.

Swiftly approaching the Blood River spanning across the sky, his mind raced with thoughts on how to extract Lann Qiyue from it safely and successfully.

However, one thing puzzled him. From the moment the battle sound spread from this side, for Loo Chang to receive the news and relay it to him, there must have been a lapse of time. Lu Ye received the message, arrived via the Teleportation Array, and spent half a quarter of an hour on the way.

So in any case, the battle here should have been ongoing for quite some time.

How did Lann Qiyue manage to persist? Logically speaking, her bloodline was not as noble as Saintly Venerable Mok Hai, and her strength was undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Under this dual disadvantage, she should have been defeated long ago.

Yet she was clearly still holding on, and Lu Ye was clueless as to how she managed it.

At this moment, a stern shout came from within the Blood River: "Qiyue, cease your stubbornness, my patience is limited!"

The voice was undoubtedly that of Saintly Venerable Mok Hai.

Hearing this sentence, Lu Ye immediately understood.

Lann Qiyue managed to persevere not because of her skills, but because Saintly Venerable Mok Hai still harbored thoughts of forming a Dao companionship with her, hence hadn't gone all out.

No matter how one looked at the current situation, Lann Qiyue was already cornered with no escape, completely trapped within the Blood River by Saintly Venerable Mok Hai, unable to flee. However, Saintly Venerable Mok Hai had hopes, unwilling to completely tear the facade apart, which gave Lann Qiyue a chance to breathe.

But clearly, Saintly Venerable Mok Hai was not one to have much patience, and those words were his final ultimatum.

To him, the best outcome was for Lann Qiyue to agree to become his Dao companion, but if she refused, he would have to kill her and seize her Sacred Blood for himself.

Lu Ye arrived just in time!

Within the Blood River, Lann Qiyue gave no response, which was her response!

To the Blood Race, she bore deep hatred; had it not been for Lu Ye taking over Bright Moon Cave and extending a helping hand to her at the onset, she had no idea what further humiliations she might have suffered. Subsequently, forced to plunge into the Blood Pool, she narrowly escaped death but instead absorbed a drop of Sacred Blood, transforming into a Sacred Seed among the Blood Race, turning into the very race she despised most.

This was more tormenting for Lann Qiyue than death itself. At that time, she even thought of never leaving the Blood River, dying right there.

But on second thoughts, being a Sacred Seed now, keeping herself for a useful end, to kill those Blood Race members she despised seemed like a worthwhile choice.

Later, upon joining Lu Ye in occupying the Thousand Streams Blessed Land, Lu Ye withdrew behind the scenes while she stood in the forefront, doing her utmost to protect the human race within the territory, which finally gave her the urge to continue living.

She herself had once encountered misfortunes; since Sacred Seeds held an elevated status in the Blood Refinement World, she could leverage this identity to protect the human race females within her territory, sparing them from encounters akin to hers.

Even after Lu Ye departed, she consistently upheld this principle, implementing the strategies set by Lu Ye.

However, before becoming a Sacred Seed, she was ultimately a naïve human race maiden with little worldly experience, unaware of how murky the waters of the Blood Refinement World ran, and even less aware of the world's malice.

She thought Sacred Seeds were high above, but little did she realize, even among Sacred Seeds, there were hierarchies of bloodlines.

Furthermore, she consistently expanded her domain and frequently violated some customs set by the Blood Refinement World, eventually drawing another Saintly Venerable's attention.

A newly emerged, not fully matured Sacred Seed, being watched by an established Sacred Seed, could naturally only meet with a grim fate.

After feeling the might of Saintly Venerable Mok Hai, she didn't even have the desire to fight, because she knew she couldn't be a match.

What followed was simple; she abandoned the foundation she had painstakingly built, using the entrances and exits of Blood Pools in various places to hide and evade, until this time she was caught by Saintly Venerable Mok Hai.

No anger, just a lot of regret.

Unable to complete the task Lu Ye originally left her, unable to properly protect those humans.

She knew that once she was gone, the humans nearby would revert to their previous fates.

The greatest regret was not being able to see Senior Brother Ye once more. If she had known this, would it have been a better choice to leave with him back then?

There are no regret pills in the world, nor are there any roads to turn back; life is a series of different choices, and every choice leads to a different path. No one knows what would have been the outcome on the roads not taken.

At least it's not a loss!

She was originally just an ordinary human girl, but after becoming a Sacred Seed, she killed many disgusting Blood Race...

In yet another fierce collision, Lann Qiyue clearly saw the anger and regret in Saintly Venerable Mok Hai's eyes, but she didn't care!

She naturally knew Mok Hai's thoughts, but she would never agree to his demands, even if it meant dying here!

The injuries on her body were already quite severe; continuing to fight on, there was no hope of escape at all.

Her life would end here!

A resolute look flashed in Lann Qiyue's eyes, and her aura began to turn dangerous and chaotic.

Seeing this, Saintly Venerable Mok Hai realized what she was about to do. He quickly pulled back while also using a Blood Technique to try and intercept Lann Qiyue, saying, "Why bother?"

The Blood Explosion Technique of the Blood Race was a major signature move and a last-ditch effort; ordinary Blood Race cultivators at a certain level of cultivation would use this technique, and so could Sacred Seeds, with even greater power.

So, even if his strength was much higher than Lann Qiyue's, and his bloodline far more noble, he was unwilling to face the risk of Lann Qiyue's self-detonation head-on.

He could no longer stop her; when a member of the Blood Race harbors a death wish and activates the Blood Explosion Technique, unless they themselves wish to stop, no one can prevent it.

In his heart, he really felt it was a pity; he genuinely wanted Lann Qiyue to join forces with him. A Dao companion was merely a titular bond; the opponents of a Sacred Seed could only ever be other Sacred Seeds. He had his own rival, with whom he had been evenly matched through years of struggle. If he could have Lann Qiyue's help, he'd be able to suppress his opponent. Hence, upon hearing of this new Sacred Seed, Lann Qiyue, appearing nearby, he rushed over.

But this stubborn new Sacred Seed wouldn't even agree to such a titular bond.

Saintly Venerable Mok Hai couldn't quite understand why; why was this mere title more important than life and death? What was this new Sacred Seed persisting for?

While the Blood Race wasn't lacking in a certain boldness, such pointless persistence was indeed rare.

Anyway, if it were him, faced with such a situation, even if he didn't bow instantly, he'd have long bowed his head in submission. Yielding to a Sacred Seed with a stronger bloodline wasn't shameful.

"Hmm?" Saintly Venerable Mok Hai suddenly showed an expression of surprise, turning to look in one direction, where there was a trace of an intruding being's aura.

With just a slight sense, he discovered that the intruder was a human race cultivator, seemingly with no weak cultivation.

Where did a human emerge from, carelessly intruding into such a battlefield?

"Qiyue!" That human voice came from the place of intrusion.

To the great astonishment of Saintly Venerable Mok Hai, the dangerous aura surging from Lann Qiyue instantly calmed down.

"Senior Brother?" Lann Qiyue almost thought she was dreaming. At the moment she was about to leave this ugly world, she unexpectedly heard a long-lost voice.

She instinctively thought she was hallucinating or hearing things, but upon sensing, indeed there was a familiar figure intruding into the Blood River.

Despite not seeing him for several years, and notwithstanding the significant progress in this Senior Brother's cultivation, Lann Qiyue recognized Lu Ye at a glance.

He really was the one who saved her from the bitter sea and gave her a new life!

Instantly, Lann Qiyue's expression turned to horror.

Even when she had decided to self-detonate using the Blood Explosion Technique, her face showed no change, only a resolute determination of someone ready to face death, because she didn't care about her own life or death.

But now that Senior Brother Lu Ye was involved, she couldn't afford not to care!

In an instant, the terror transformed into another kind of determined resolute; she fiercely charged toward the direction of Saintly Venerable Mok Hai with almost no intention of defense, planning only to unleash all her attacks, meanwhile urgently shouting, "Senior Brother, retreat quickly!"

She didn't know why Lu Ye appeared here at this time but was certainly here to find her. Yet, rushing into the Blood River was truly unwise. She could only give her all in hopes of creating a fleeting opportunity for Lu Ye to escape.
