Protect Our Patriarch

Meanwhile.

At the deep-water port built at a great cost on Zhongshan Island, all the key figures of the Zhong Clan had already been waiting in advance.

Among them was Zhong Wannian, the current head of the Zhong Clan.

He was not yet sixty years old, at the peak of his strength and vitality. His figure was upright and robust under his luxurious brocade robe, exuding an air of calm and grandeur, befitting the leader of a prominent family.

However, he was not standing in the main position today, because the pillar of the Zhong Clan, Ancestor Zhong Xiangyang, was also on the dock.

Among the Ancestors, Zhong Xiangyang was relatively old, and his face already showed signs of aging. But even so, his demeanor was as vast as the sea in front of him, exuding a sense of depth and stability that was not to be underestimated.

At this moment, he was standing at the front of the waiting crowd, looking at the approaching ship with his hands behind his back.

Another key figure was Zhong Xingwang. He was the uncle of Zhong Wannian. He was the third son of the direct line, but due to his poor aptitude, he was sent to the academy to gain prestige.

However, Zhong Xingwang was just one of the many students in the academy.

When the young prodigies or senior brothers and sisters were showing their talents on the stage, he was the one cheering and shouting below, with a face full of excitement and admiration.

Soon, the large merchant ship slowly docked at the deep-water port of Zhongshan Island, and Wang Shouzhe and his party disembarked via the prepared stairs.

"Welcome~ Welcome~"

The moment the two direct disciples of the academy set foot on the dock, Zhong Wannian, the head of the Zhong Clan, greeted them with a beaming face and great enthusiasm.

The direct disciples of the academy held high status in the outside world. Not only did they have a master in the Purple Mansion realm, but they also had the potential to reach the Purple Mansion realm in the future.

How could he miss the opportunity to make friends with such people?

Even Ancestor Zhong Xiangyang showed a hint of joy.

Being able to befriend two direct disciples at once was a big deal for the Zhong Clan of the Hundred Islands. Moreover, among the distinguished guests this time were Ancestor Xu Beichen of the Xu Clan of Changning, a newly promoted seventh-rank family in Changning, and a group from the Wang's Clan of Changning.

Over the years, thanks to the connection of Zhong Xingwang, the Wang's Clan had always been on good terms with the Zhong Clan of the Hundred Islands.

As the alliance of the Wang's Clan by marriage grew stronger, their business cooperation with the Zhong Clan increased, and their relationship warmed up quickly.

Of course, this relationship was mostly based on interests, far less solid than the marriage alliance.

Afterwards, the Zhong Clan of the Hundred Islands naturally brought out the best standards to entertain everyone.

After a lively banquet.

The key figures of both sides finally sat down to drink spiritual tea and discuss serious matters.

As the host, Zhong Wannian was naturally the first to speak: "Head Wang Shouzhe, your visit this time is about the matter of the Yinsha Sect's undercover agents, right?"

Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands towards Zhong Wannian and said: "Speaking of this matter, I have to thank Head Wannian again. Thank you for your help over the years."

Years ago, Wang Shouzhe's nephew, Wang Zongchang, encountered the evil cultivators of the Yinsha Sect in the Hundred Islands, and almost lost his life.

Although Zongchang eventually awakened his Xun Wind bloodline due to the disaster, the danger was all too clear to him. The Wang's Clan and the Yinsha Sect had a long-standing grudge, how could he easily let go of this lead?

The few who died on the Chen's Clan merchant ship, although they all hid their identities, no matter how well they hid, they could still trace their connections and gradually figure out their origins.

Later, with the help of the Zhong Clan, and thanks to Ancestor Long Yan's extremely sensitive perception of the Yinsha Qi, Wang Shouzhe finally dug out the Yinsha Sect traitor who had been hiding in the Hundred Islands.

He was a venerable elder hidden in a ninth-rank family in the Hundred Islands, usually appearing old and decrepit, completely unrecognizable as a member of the Yinsha Sect.

However, in order to catch a big fish with a long line, Wang Shouzhe did not startle the snake, but kept him and entrusted the Zhong Clan's internal experts to keep a long-term watch on him.

"Where, where~" Zhong Wannian courteously replied to Wang Shouzhe, "Our Zhong Clan and Wang's Clan have a close relationship, this is just a small matter, not worth mentioning. Besides, the Yinsha Sect is the enemy of our Daqian, it's only right for our Zhong Clan to contribute."

Ancestor Beichen, who was sitting next to them, admired Wang Shouzhe: "Shouzhe, you really are far-sighted and have a long-term plan. You laid out this game years ago."

"Ancestor Beichen, you flatter me." Wang Shouzhe returned the courtesy, "The Yinsha Sect has always been active on our territory, it can't be for no reason. And the accident that happened to my clan member Wang Zongchang years ago was related to the Yinsha Sect, so I just casually laid a loose piece. As for when it will come into play, no one can say."

"That's still very impressive, it shows how meticulous your thoughts are." Ancestor Beichen praised, "Working with you, Shouzhe, gives a great sense of security. If it were someone else who invited me, I'm afraid I would have to think twice."Even Fang You'an couldn't help but look at Wang Shouzhe with admiration. Regardless of anything else, this young man was reliable in handling matters and didn't just focus on the present.

"Is the head of the Wang family planning to make a move this time? But it's just a mere Spirit Platform realm, why such a big fuss?" Zhong Wannian only knew the surface of the matter and was unclear about the real reason, causing him to frown slightly.

Immediately.

While sipping his spiritual tea, Wang Shouzhe explained everything in detail.

His visit to the Zhong Clan today was not just for reminiscing about the past.

"This..."

Zhong Wannian's expression suddenly became serious. He never expected that this matter would be so deeply involved, even involving the blood nest of the Shenwu Dynasty.

Even the silent Ancestor Xiangyang, who had not spoken, opened his slightly old eyes and said, "Head of the Wang family, you have entrusted all the information to us. Could it be that you want our Zhong Clan to be involved in this matter?"

"It's just a precaution. After all, this matter happened on the Zhong Clan's territory. If the Zhong Clan participates, it would naturally be better." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "Now our side is strong, and there are two direct disciples of the Academy involved. Under normal circumstances, this matter is almost certain to be resolved. If Ancestor Xiangyang participates, you will certainly get a share of the benefits."

Ancestor Xiangyang pondered for a moment.

If it were usual, Wang Shouzhe would invite him to take risks in the blood nest, even if he could share the benefits in the end, he would definitely refuse without thinking.

After all, a Heavenly Human Ancestor is the foundation of an entire family. If anything goes wrong, it could even affect all the clan members and descendants.

Therefore, any Heavenly Human family with only one Heavenly Human Ancestor always stays at home like an important pillar, possibly not moving for hundreds of years.

But today's situation is different, with two direct disciples of the Purple Mansion involved, he naturally had to consider more carefully.

"If I don't want to take action, will the Academy use the conscription order?" Ancestor Xiangyang frowned slightly.

"Ancestor Xiangyang is joking." Before Fang You'an could answer, Wang Shouzhe laughed, "It's just a small matter, how could it involve the conscription order. If Ancestor Xiangyang really doesn't want to, he just needs to swear to keep this matter secret."

"Ancestor, I think we can give it a try." Zhong Xingwang suggested, "I have known the head of the Wang family for many years, and I have full confidence in his character and ability. Besides, the head of the Wang family is more afraid of death than anyone else. If he didn't have great confidence, he wouldn't take action casually."

Zhong Xingwang, although he was born of the direct line, his status in the family has never been high due to his aptitude and temperament. However, in recent years, his family status has been steadily rising. Just by helping the Wang's Clan in the black market trade, he has earned a lot of money for the family.

Moreover, many of the Zhong Clan's island products are now sold by the joint fleet of the in-law alliance, and they also give a lot of benefits for the sake of Zhong Xingwang.

Therefore, Zhong Xingwang, who has been continuously meritorious, has truly begun to show some of the momentum of a pillar in the family.

"I have also heard of the reputation of the head of the Wang family." Ancestor Xiangyang said after comprehensive consideration, "Our Zhong Clan can participate in this matter. Not to mention anything else, just our fishermen distributed in various sea areas of the Hundred Islands Guard are the best spies. In addition, I can also join the team as a Heavenly Human realm combat power. As for the distribution of war spoils, I trust the character of the head of the Wang family."

This matter seems to be very certain.

Moreover, participating in it can not only make friends with two direct disciples of the Academy, give the family more connections in the Academy, but also deepen the relationship with the newly rising Changning Xu Clan and Ping'an Wang's Clan. It is worth taking a little risk.

Moreover, the Yinsha Sect's people are secretly active in the Hundred Islands Guard, which is detrimental to the Zhong Clan. This problem has to be solved sooner or later.

"With this, our team's overall strength should be foolproof." Wang Shouzhe raised his spiritual tea, "I toast with tea instead of wine, wishing our operation a complete success."

Fang You'an really admired Wang Shouzhe, who managed to pull in another veteran Heavenly Human realm cultivator with just a few words.

Ancestor Xiangyang was not simple. He was not like Ancestor Beichen who had just been promoted, whose foundation was not stable enough, and did not even have a magic weapon.

The Hundred Islands Guard mainly does black market trade, and countless treasures have flowed through the hands of the Zhong Clan. Over time, it will inevitably accumulate a foundation for the Zhong Clan.

Who knows what trump cards this Ancestor Xiangyang, who has lived for nearly three hundred years, has in his hands?

However, having another powerful ancestor join the team made Fang You'an feel more at ease.

......

Outer sea.

The sea was vast, with layers of clouds and wide sea.

The sky of the outer sea seemed to be bluer than the inner sea, pure and transparent, like blue jade. The sea breeze stirred up waves, the waves rolled, fish leaped with the wind, the cries of seabirds came from afar, it was truly full of vitality everywhere, as beautiful as a painting.However, beneath this beautiful facade, it concealed the turbulent waves of the open sea, fraught with danger.

The gale that howled across the sea was large and urgent, with waves rolling, capable of capsizing smaller fishing boats in an instant. Underneath the sea surface, there lurked incredibly powerful beasts, ready to emerge at any moment, shattering passing ships and overturning them.

Yet even so, it could not extinguish mankind's passion for exploring the sea.

Now, above this vast sea, there was a fleet of ships, fearlessly navigating through the storm.

These were three sea ships built from hundred-year-old spirit oak wood. They were enormous in size, and their hulls were exceptionally sturdy, like fortresses on the sea.

However, the current condition of these three sea ships was not very good. One of them had a broken mast, and the surfaces of the other two were pockmarked and uneven. The wood in several places was of different colors, clearly patched up later.

Obviously, the journey had not been peaceful.

On the leading sea ship, a grey-robed old man wearing a hooded robe was staring intently at the compass in his hand, his other hand constantly making calculations.

After a while, he put down the compass, instructed the helmsman to slightly adjust the ship's direction, but his brows were still tightly furrowed.

"Master, are we still unsure of the direction?" A young man next to him asked cautiously.

The old man shook his head.

The young man's expression was clearly disappointed: "It's been almost three months. We've encountered storms and sea beasts along the way, and we've lost a ship. How much longer will this go on?"

The old man gave him a cold glance: "If you're not happy staying on the ship, I can send you into the sea to clear your mind."

The young man shivered at his words, immediately too scared to say anything more. The sea was full of ferocious beasts, if he really went down, it would be a miracle if he could come back up.

At this moment, a young man wearing the uniform of the Huangfu's Clan ran out of the cabin and saluted the master: "Mr. Nine, the young master and our ancestor are looking for you."

"I understand."

The old man put away his compass and turned to enter the cabin.

Inside the cabin, a handsome young man in white and a red-haired old man were sitting opposite each other in a modestly decorated but luxurious cabin, chatting casually.

This young man in white was naturally the young master. However, the young master's name was always kept secret, and his subordinates only referred to him as the young master.

And the red-haired old man was naturally the Heavenly Man Ancestor of the Huangfu's Clan of Changning, Ancestor Huaye.

After being suppressed by the secret method of the Yinsha Sect, the Purple Mansion Sword Qi rampaging inside Ancestor Huaye had been temporarily suppressed. Ancestor Huaye's injuries had also mostly healed, and he had seemingly returned to his prime.

If it weren't for the traces of age on his face, it would be hard to tell that he had been seriously injured.

Behind him stood Huangfu Jinhuan, respectfully serving his ancestor.

Seeing the master old man enter, Ancestor Huaye turned his head and glanced at him: "Master Yin Nine, have you found any traces of the Ice Sha Island?"

Yin Nine saluted him and replied respectfully: "Not yet."

Ancestor Huaye frowned slightly at his words, seeming somewhat dissatisfied, but he held back his anger because the young master was present.

"What's the rush?" The young master picked up his tea cup and took a sip, his tone casual, "Those remnants left by the Blood Sovereigns went to great lengths to evade the pursuit of the Shenwu Dynasty. The location of the Blood Nest is naturally extremely hidden, and it's covered by numerous formations. It's not easy to find."

"Master is right." Yin Nine explained to Ancestor Huaye, "The formation level of the Shenwu Dynasty was superb, and this Blood Nest was hidden very well. Its location is constantly changing, making it extremely difficult to find. It's only because the formation has been neglected for a long time that we have this opportunity. I've calculated that every three years at this time is when the formation's flaws are most severe. In at most half a month, I should be able to find Ice Sha Island."

"That sounds good." Ancestor Huaye's face darkened slightly, "Who knows if you can really find it? If we miss the opportunity, who will I reason with?"

Upon hearing this, the young master glanced at Ancestor Huaye: "If Ancestor Huaye is impatient, you can send your own people to search. I won't stop you."

Only then did Ancestor Huaye close his mouth and stop talking.

The Huangfu's Clan did have their own formation masters, but in terms of strength, they were far inferior to Yin Nine. Moreover, Yin Nine had been stationed in the Hundred Islands for many years, and no one could surpass his understanding of the outer formation of the Blood Nest. He wasn't sure if his own formation masters could find the location.

The room fell silent for a moment.

The young master's voice sounded again: "Ancestor Huaye need not be so anxious. Even if we can't find the Ice Sha Island this year, I will suppress the Purple Mansion Sword Qi in your body again. Don't worry."

Ancestor Huaye lowered his eyes, his face not only didn't improve, but became even more gloomy.

Seeing this, Huangfu Jinhuan hurriedly bowed to the young master and defended his ancestor: "Thank you, young master. Your kindness is greatly appreciated by the Huangfu's Clan."He understood that the young master was planning to use the Ancestor's injury to control the Huangfu Clan, forcing them to continue working for him. However, at this moment, they were under the eaves of the house and had no choice but to bow their heads. Even if they were dissatisfied, they could not show it.

As they were talking, someone suddenly came to report from outside.

"Young Master, Ancestor Huaye, a large patch of fog has suddenly appeared on the sea surface, and the temperature has dropped significantly."

Before the young master and Ancestor Huaye could react, Yin Jiu was not surprised but delighted, "The Ice Evil Fog has appeared? Great, this means we are heading in the right direction."

He bowed to the young master and excitedly said, "Young Master, please allow me to go to the deck now to continue calculating the position and find the Ice Evil Island."

The young master nodded, "Go ahead."

Yin Jiu immediately left with a spring in his step and quickly returned to the deck.

Huaye of the Huangfu Clan couldn't help but follow him.

Naturally, Huangfu Jin Huan also followed.

When they reached the deck, he glanced at the many generals of the Huangfu Clan around him, and his gaze immediately fell on an old man dressed in a green servant's uniform. He nodded at him.

The old man understood and immediately withdrew quietly.

Meanwhile, Yin Jiu had already started calculating quickly at the bow of the ship.

The fog that filled the surrounding sea was exceptionally cold, and it even contained a strong evil aura, as if it had seeped up from the depths of hell, making people feel heavy-hearted.

However, Yin Jiu was not afraid at all, but rather excited.

"Turn the helm to the left once, keep going forward, don't stop..."

He held a compass in one hand and kept calculating with the other. His excited voice kept ringing on the deck.

"Hurry up! The opportunity is fleeting."

As the fleet slowly moved forward, the vague silhouette of a small island gradually appeared in the Ice Evil Fog in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Huangfu Jin Huan's heart was stirred.

Ice Evil Island, we're finally here!

As long as they successfully obtained the item in the blood nest on this island, the Huangfu Clan would surely rise again, and even surpass its former glory. The rise and fall of the Huangfu Clan depended on this!

...

Soon, the silhouette of Ice Evil Island became clearer and clearer in everyone's eyes. From a distance, they could already vaguely see the silhouette of some buildings on the island.

However, when they got here, the large ship they were on could no longer move forward.

The ship, designed to resist the waves at sea, had a pointed bottom and could only dock in deep water ports. It was easy to run aground near the shallows.

The group then switched to several small boats and continued to approach Ice Evil Island.

"Ice Evil Island will constantly float and move within a certain range."

Yin Jiu had been on the island once before, and his calculations sped up a lot when they got here. He was calculating while explaining to the young master and Huaye of the Huangfu Clan behind him.

"The fog around here is created by the formation on the island, which can cover a range of more than ten miles around the island. If someone doesn't know what's going on, even if they see it, they will only think that the fog has risen at sea and will quickly detour."

As he spoke, the small boat was getting closer and closer to Ice Evil Island.

The closer they got to the floating island, the louder the "woo woo woo" wind sound from the island became. In this heavy fog, it sounded like a ghost howling.

Yin Jiu said solemnly, "Young Master, and everyone, this Ice Evil Floating Island has been transplanted with two top-grade spiritual veins, one is the Yin Evil Spiritual Vein, and the other is the Xuan Ice Spiritual Vein."

"Because of this, the island is constantly swept by the evil wind of Xuan Ice and Yin Evil. Even a cultivator at the Spiritual Platform Realm can't resist it for long."

"However, this kind of evil wind has a pattern. As long as we wait for a few hours, once this evil wind passes, we will have the time of a stick of incense to enter a blood nest pavilion on the island to shelter from the wind."

The last time Yin Jiu came to scout, he suffered a lot from this evil wind. He only managed to explore the outer area of the island and lost several of his heterodox disciples.

"A few hours, that's too long."

The young master glanced ahead and casually threw out an ancient lamp-shaped magic weapon.

The ancient lamp flew into the air and suddenly emitted a bright light. The light, like a thin veil, extended downwards, covering all the small boats.

The small boats immediately seized the opportunity to move forward.

The bone-chilling Ice Evil Wind was blocked outside by the intangible light of the lamp.

"Truly worthy of the young master." Huangfu Jin Huan's eyes were filled with admiration, "The young master casually uses a defensive magic weapon, the direct disciple of the Yin Evil Sect, is indeed not something we ordinary noble families can compare to."

"Just a mere auxiliary defensive magic weapon, it can only resist various evil winds." The young master stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "As long as you of the Huangfu Clan work for me with peace of mind, there will be benefits for you afterwards."

"Thank you, young master." Huangfu Jin Huan's face showed joy, "Our Huangfu Clan is not ambitious, we just want to restore our former glory."

"This is not difficult." As the goal was about to be achieved, the young master was in a good mood and said to win people's hearts, "Once I take down this blood nest, I will, as agreed, take the opportunity to wipe out the Wang's Clan for you.""Thank you, young master, thank you." Huangfu Jin Huan repeatedly bowed, his expression full of gratitude.

As they were speaking, the swiftly moving boat had already docked at the edge of the floating island.

Not far from the shore, there was a Blood Nest Pavilion.

The Blood Nest Pavilion looked very strange, like a giant blood cocoon. The dark blood-colored exterior was crisscrossed with veins, as if it had many bulging blood vessels.

Upon seeing this Blood Nest Pavilion, the young master's face slightly changed, revealing a hint of admiration: "The Shenwu Dynasty had too many extraordinary people, among them, the 'Blood Venerable' is one of the few powerful people I admire the most."

This kind of blood nest is a semi-living entity. As long as it has abundant energy, it can continue to grow into a giant blood nest. Even if a Blood Nest Warrior is seriously injured, as long as they return to the blood nest, their injuries can heal quickly.

The Yinsha Sect is also a powerful force, and there have been more than one blood nest in the sect.

However, those blood nest bases all belong to the sect. This blood nest was found by him, and he must control it in his own hands. In this way, his status in the sect can be further improved.

"Young master," Yin Jiu introduced with a bow, "Last time, my men discovered this Blood Nest Pavilion. There are more than a dozen blood cocoons in it, all of which have decayed over the long years. However, a Blood Nest Warrior emerged from one of the blood cocoons."

"It took me a lot of effort to kill it and control the Bridal Blood Gu that flew out of its body, sealing it in the special jade box given by the young master."

As they spoke, everyone walked into the Blood Nest Pavilion.

Just as Yin Jiu said, most of the blood cocoons had withered and weathered, only one damaged one was relatively fresh. Not far away, a twisted blood-colored corpse was lying. Years had passed, even in this icy land, the corpse had begun to decay, emitting an unpleasant smell.

However, the young master was looking around with interest, and said: "There are two types of Blood Nest Warriors, those with Bridal Blood Gu in their bodies are all failures."

"They all couldn't resist the erosion of the Bridal Blood Gu, and eventually became mad test subjects. The Blood Nest then controlled these failures, turning them into combat tools and cannon fodder."

"The truly advanced Blood Nest Warriors have successfully passed the test of the Bridal Blood Gu, enhancing their bloodline. At that time, the Bridal Blood Gu will naturally die. These advanced Blood Nest Warriors are the true elites of a Blood Nest. They have excellent cultivation qualifications, no different from the real young prodigies."

"Isn't that the same as the Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Huangfu Jin Huan's eyes lit up, full of curiosity.

"Although the Marrow Cleansing Pill is good, in terms of efficacy, the Bridal Blood Gu is superior." The young master slowly shook his head, "Generally speaking, as long as they can survive the bloodline change, the test subjects' bloodline qualifications can usually reach the level of a mid-grade A-level young prodigy."

"Mid-grade A-level, is it that powerful?" Huaye Ancestor, who had been silent all along, his eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.

He was born with a mid-grade B-level bloodline.

If it were a mid-grade A-level, even if the cultivation resources were slightly insufficient, the probability of achieving the Heavenly Man Realm in the future would not be low.

Such a Bridal Blood Gu is truly a heaven-defying treasure. As long as there are enough Bridal Blood Gu, wouldn't it be possible to mass-produce young prodigies?

"Mid-grade A-level just sounds good." The young master sneered, "But if the bloodline qualification does not reach the top grade, it is extremely difficult to cultivate to the Purple Mansion Realm, and it is ultimately nothing."

Huaye Ancestor and Huangfu Jin Huan's faces changed upon hearing this, and they couldn't help but curse in their hearts. You are just a top-grade bloodline, why do you have to show off your superiority?

People at each level have their own pursuits.

Top-grade bloodlines are indeed powerful and have extraordinary potential. However, most noble families would be very happy if they could produce a few mid-grade bloodlines. If a mid-grade A-level is produced, they would be even happier.

"You must be thinking that mid-grade bloodlines also have a chance to rush to the Purple Mansion Realm?" The young master sneered, "After all, there are still such legends circulating."

"Young master means... it's impossible to reach it?" Huaye Ancestor's eyebrows furrowed.

"Top-grade bloodlines mean that you can awaken the second bloodline in the Qi Refining Realm, the third bloodline in the Spirit Platform Mirror, and the fourth spirit body in the Heavenly Man Realm." The young master said, "With the spirit body, you can truly sense the laws of heaven, and start to comprehend divine powers in the Heavenly Man Realm. This is the key to advancing to the Purple Mansion."

"Those rumors outside, saying that mid-grade bloodlines can also rush to the Purple Mansion Realm, are either comforting words to prevent those with insufficient qualifications from losing their motivation, or they have changed their fate against the heavens with some extremely rare heavenly treasures."

"This... Young master means, I have no chance?" Huaye Ancestor's face turned a bit ugly.

According to the young master's words, didn't that cut off his path to promotion?

"Your chance is too slim, after all, you are already in the Heavenly Man Realm." The young master glanced at him, "From the initial awakening of the first bloodline to the current third bloodline, the higher the bloodline, the harder it is to advance, and the more resources it requires.""However, in undeveloped blood nest bases, there are usually one or two Bridal Blood Gu Kings. As long as you, Huaye, truly submit to me and pledge your allegiance, I will leave one for you. In this way, as long as there is a Qi Refining Realm with a medium-grade bloodline among your descendants, they can use the Bridal Blood Gu King to awaken a high-grade bloodline."

"Young Master, what about the Spirit Platform Realm?" Huangfu Jin Huan's eyes suddenly brightened, "I also have a medium-grade bloodline."

"You can't. First, you are only a medium-grade C. Second, you have already advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm and have awakened an extra bloodline." The young master thought for a while and said, "To maximize the effect of the Bridal Blood Gu King, either the Qi Refining Realm has a bloodline, or the Spirit Platform Realm awakens two high-grade bloodlines, not far from the third, or the Heavenly Man Realm has three peak bloodlines, only a line away from the fourth."

The reason why the young master explained so much to them was also to make Huangfu's Clan more active in the future. In addition, he could not stay in Longzuo Commandery for a long time, and he needed his own loyal puppets here.

"In that case, we can only cultivate our descendants." Huangfu Jin Huan smiled bitterly with a sense of "helplessness", and bowed deeply to the young master, "Thank you, young master, for giving us Huangfu's Clan a chance to achieve a sixth-grade clan in the future. We, Huangfu's Clan, are willing to follow the young master's lead. After returning to Changning, we will pledge our allegiance to the young master."

"In that case, it depends on your performance in the future." A hint of satisfaction flashed in the young master's eyes.

It was worth it to truly subdue a seventh-grade clan of the Great Qian, even if it cost a Bridal Blood Gu King.

With a real "pledge of allegiance", he was not afraid of this clan turning against him. Moreover, the success rate of improving the bloodline with the Bridal Blood Gu King was very low, and it was highly likely to become a mindless monster.

Otherwise, wouldn't the Bridal Blood Gu King be against the heavens?

...

Almost at the same time.

A dozen miles away from the floating island, a large merchant ship was sailing steadily in the waves.

In the sky, a figure swiftly descended and landed steadily on the bow of the ship.

The figure in white was calm and relaxed, holding an object several feet long with different sizes at both ends in his hand.

He fondly played with the object in his hand and exclaimed to Wang Shouzhe, "Shouzhe, you really have endless ingenious ideas. This treasure called a 'telescope' can greatly expand the field of vision, and it's even comparable to some minor divine powers for scouting the enemy."

"It's just some little gadgets I came up with. If Brother You'an likes it, I'll give it to you." Wang Shouzhe laughed, "How's the scouting going?"

The principle of the telescope was very simple. Since he had made glass, the "invention" of the telescope was almost a matter of course.

"Thank you, Brother Shouzhe." Fang You'an happily put away the "treasure", and at the same time, he sighed, "Brother Shouzhe, you really are a prophet. They have indeed found the blood nest base. We can start to close the net."

"Don't rush." Wang Shouzhe chuckled, "The show has just begun. Let them finish their performance, and then we'll clean up the mess. Come on, try the meat wine I brewed with the special fish sauce fruit of the Hundred Islands Guard."

Ever since Wang Shouzhe got the Spirit Treasure Wine Gourd, he always liked to try brewing wine with various things, and he especially liked to invite people to drink.

Soon, Wang Shouzhe and the others set up a table of good wine and food on the deck and started to eat and drink.
