There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 128 Where is my Sacred Flame? [First Update]

"What about people?"

Yunniang's beautiful eyes widened as the several people who had just been standing in front of her, along with the three ferocious Frost-Scented Wolves, vanished into thin air as if they had disappeared into thin air!

Bing Li's expression darkened slightly. She waved her hand lightly and spread her divine sense, sweeping over every inch of the ice wall and every shadow.

The Qingqiu clan is most skilled in illusion, teleportation, concealment, and tracking, yet she couldn't find a trace of them at this moment!
"It's neither an illusion nor ordinary teleportation!" Bing Li's voice was solemn. "Their aura has ceased, the spatial ripples have subsided, they are no longer in this world!"

Elder Qingli's face was extremely ugly, her heart was in turmoil. She was annoyed by the missed opportunity, surprised and doubtful about Chen Qing's methods, and also worried about the reflection that the Frost Scent Clan had brought about.

"It must have been because my mind was in turmoil several times, and I leaked my aura when I fled, that I attracted the Frost-Scented Clan's hyenas!"

She felt that if it weren't for those three stupid wolves causing trouble, there might still be room for maneuver.

Elder Xuepo sighed softly, "What's done is done, there's no use in regretting it now. Besides, with the three great demons missing, the Wolf Lord will certainly not let this go. This place has become a vortex of trouble, we should return!"

Qing Li gritted her teeth, glanced unwillingly at the spot where Chen Qing had disappeared, and rolled up her sleeves: "Let's go!"

Several streaks of azure light shot into the sky, hurtling towards the Nine-Tailed Hills.

Nine-tailed hills, a jade palace.

Clan Chief Qingqin leaned against the main seat, and after listening to Qingli's urgent report, she first asked, "Where is the aura we collected?"

Qingli dared not delay and presented the Na Yuan Gui Xu Pouch.

With a light tap of her jade fingers, Qingqin caused a faint light to emanate from the pouch, drawing out wisps of pure energy that swirled and coalesced in her palm, transforming into a crystal the size of a pigeon's egg.

Inside the crystal, a fox-like shadow seemed to dance lightly, emanating an aura that stirred the blood.

"Such pure source energy!" Qingqin's eyes gleamed with admiration. She stood up and said, "We shouldn't delay, let's go stabilize the sacred fire first!"

Her figure moved swiftly, skimming towards the forbidden area deep within the hills, the sacred fire altar.

The altar is located at the core of an ice cave, with a dim blue flame, about the size of a human head, suspended in the center.

With a solemn expression, Qingqin walked to the edge of the altar, picked up the blue crystal, and was about to throw it into the flickering sacred fire.

Boom!

At that very moment, the entire Nine-Tailed Hills trembled violently!
A violent pressure crashed down!

"Qingqin! How dare you! You harbor human spies and harm my Frost-Scented Clan's hunting warriors!"

The sound was like rolling thunder, making the ice cave vibrate.

The swirling snow was blasted away by an invisible force, revealing the cracked protective array above!
At the gap in the great formation, a burly figure, as imposing as a demon god, stood in mid-air.

His face was rugged, with a hideous silver vertical scar on his forehead and blood-red eyes. He was none other than the Frost-Scented Clan Chief, the Silver-Scarred Wolf Lord! The void around him distorted, and three terrifying scenes could be vaguely seen: the roar of the ice field, the blood moon in the sky, and ten thousand wolves worshipping the moon!
Upon seeing the newcomer, Qingqin raised her voice and said, "Qingqiu welcomes all races and recruits talented people as sons-in-law. What's so strange about having a few human guests in our clan? Your Shuangxiu clan's reach is far too long!"

"Hahaha!" The Silver Mark Wolf Lord laughed wildly, his voice shaking the surrounding area. His gaze swept over Qingqin's graceful figure, and suddenly he raised his hand, revealing a token that was entirely black and of an ancient design. "I am not here today to seek personal revenge! I am here on orders! Surrender obediently and come back to Frosthowling Ice Palace with me to 'explain' yourselves! Do you think the Pact of the Hundred Races can still protect you?"

"The Mysterious Water Token?" Qingqin's expression changed drastically. "Just because of today's events, you've issued an order? This..."

"Will you submit or not? Or do you still want to fight?" The Silver Mark Wolf Lord grinned maliciously, flipping his palm and releasing a ball of dark blue flame that emitted a chilling poison.

Frost Poison Ghost Fire!

"With the blessing of the Xuanling, our clan's sacred fire is blazing strong. It will completely extinguish the Qingqiu sacred fire, extinguishing your thoughts. In the future, Qingqiu will merge with Shuangxiu, saving you from searching for your husband everywhere!" The Wolf Lord's voice was ruthless, and the ghostly fire in his hand suddenly expanded, biting down at the weakened Qingqiu Misty Fire!

"How dare you!" The elders of Qingqiu were furious and unleashed their magical treasures.

"Step back!" Qingqin shouted sharply, a fierce glint in her eyes. She threw the blue crystal at the flickering, almost extinguished Qingqiu Mystic Flame, then formed a hand seal!

"Om-"

The moment the blue crystals came into contact with the bewitching fire, a strange change occurred!

The dim blue flames, like a ferocious beast that has been parched for a long time and now receives rain, burst forth with dazzling blue light! Instantly expanding tenfold, they transformed into a majestic and agile phantom of a giant blue fox!

"Roar!"

The blue fox roared to the sky, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed the Frost Poison Ghost Fire that was rushing towards it with great momentum!
The sinister smile on Silver Mark Wolf Lord's face froze on the spot.

That Frost Poison Ghost Fire is one of the fundamental sources of fire that the Frost-Scented Clan relies on to establish itself in the Northern Cold, and it cannot be lost!

However, after consuming the Netherfire, the Qingqiu Fire seemed to have taken a great tonic, and its power surged to a critical point. It broke free from the altar's restraints and Qingqin's control. The phantom of the fire fox suddenly trembled and shot into the sky!

"Oh no!" Qingqin exclaimed, her face turning deathly pale. "The fire has gone out of control!"

Seeing the flames heading southeast, she immediately realized that the out-of-control sacred fire was attracted by the incomparably pure source energy and was trying to find its original source!

The Silver Mark Wolf Lord was also stunned, and then let out a thunderous roar: "You lowly Qingqiu wench! Give me back my fire!" He no longer cared about kidnapping people. With the Frost Poison Netherfire swallowed, if things went wrong, they would have no chance to stand firm in this icy land!
With a turn, it transformed into a flying rainbow and flew towards the direction of the firelight. The whirlwind created rolling waves of air, which quickly startled the people of several clans. They all flew up to investigate, and some of them even saw the clues and followed closely behind!

Qingqin watched the azure streak disappear into the southern horizon, then abruptly turned to the equally panicked elders, including Qingli and Xuepo, and said, "The northern cold is fierce; without the protection of the fire seed, the bloodline will decay in an instant! Issue the order!"

"Head south!" "Reclaim the Olympic flame!"

The Moon Palace, a prison of death in the depths of ice.

Deep inside the cage, a human-shaped ice crystal suddenly made a "crack" sound.

Inside the ice crystal, Leng Che, who had been sealed away, suddenly opened his eyes!

Deep within those eyes was a swirling vortex of blood.

"A sudden inspiration! The time has come!"

He opened his mouth and spat!
"puff!"

A blood droplet the size of a pigeon egg, dark red in color, shot out and pierced through the ice that was harder than steel!

"Chi chi chi——"

Immediately afterwards, countless scarlet blood rays surged wildly from Leng Che's seven orifices and pores, wrapping around the blood bead.

The frozen, "cold" body shrank and collapsed at a visible speed, until only a thin skin remained, clinging tightly to the ice wall.

However, after absorbing all the essence of the blood light, the blood bead suddenly expanded and stretched, transforming into a blurry, blood-red humanoid shape!
Blood Shadow stretched out his body.

"By barely pushing the Bloodlight True Body to the late stage of Yin Demon, I only need to devour Ji Ming, take its pure Yang fire, and complete Yin and Yang to achieve the perfection of Yin Demon. Then I can refine many resources in one fell swoop and condense the supreme demon pill! Only then can I be considered to have achieved great success in demonic cultivation!"

"Well!"

It suddenly covered its head and let out a muffled groan.

"After all, it is a physical body that has been tempered for many years. It is still somewhat uncomfortable to abandon it rashly. After all, the plan was changed at the last minute after seeing the pure yang fire, which resulted in the physical body being frozen by the Guanghan Palace!"

Just then, the blood-red figure seemed to sense something, suddenly looked up, and its demonic thoughts pierced through layers of ice prison.

Outside, several disciples of the Guanghan Palace who had been alerted by the strange noise and came to investigate were immediately met with a dense aura of blood and demonic energy as soon as they rushed into the passage!
Those with slightly weaker cultivation instantly turned bloodshot, letting out beast-like roars. Their internal magical power became chaotic, and their bodies began to deform and swell. Those with slightly stronger cultivation were also struck as if by a heavy blow, their protective spiritual light shattering inch by inch, and they were sent flying backward, spitting out blood!

Chaos erupted instantly!
Blood Shadow didn't even glance at the demonized disciples. With a flicker of his body, he transformed into a beam of blood light condensed to the extreme, piercing through layers of spatial barriers and disappearing into the crevices of the Nine Netherworld, covering thousands of miles in an instant!

Deep in the Northern Sea, bones lie buried in an icy abyss.

This place is where the extreme yin and evil spirits of the Northern Netherworld converge, and the sun never shines through the sky.

Beneath the massive skeleton of a colossal beast, a huge pool of blood was churning and boiling, emitting a pungent, sweet-smelling odor.

At the edge of the blood pool, Daoist Chenguang, along with Indigo Hengzi who had escaped at some unknown time, and several other cultivators with sinister auras stood solemnly.

The space rippled like water, and a beam of blood-red light suddenly shot out, landing at the core of the altar—it was that cold, blood-red shadow.

Indigo Hengzi raised his head and asked, "Che'er! Is it time to begin the sacrifice?"

The blood-red figure nodded: "The will has been set, the time has come. Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes. Begin the sacrifice immediately!"

Before it finished speaking, it cast a hand seal, causing the blood pool to churn and thick pillars of blood to shoot into the sky, intertwining and rotating in mid-air to form a huge vortex that was constantly collapsing inward!

"Build the foundation of my Dao, with only the finest and purest essence! Transform it into my body, and it will never decay! Transform blood and return to the origin!"

The blood-red shadow hovered in the center of the vortex, its form becoming increasingly solid, its aura constantly rising.

Chen Guang, Dian Hengzi, and the others exerted all their strength to activate the moonlight and pour it into the altar.

The entire space was filled with wailing, and blood-red light surged, like a huge, living womb giving birth to demons.

Just as the aura of the blood-red figure reached its peak, it suddenly raised its head and squeezed!
"The Yin Demon summons, the Pure Yang arrives!"

"Buzz!"

The space above the sacrificial altar suddenly and violently distorted!

Three enormous, fanged Frost-Scented Giant Wolves, shrouded in icy demonic energy and roaring in terror and fury, were forcibly dragged out of the spatial passage!
A powerful demonic aura rushed towards us!

"Turbid Demon?!" Blood Shadow's consciousness suddenly surged, filled with disbelief and rage! This was completely different from the "Pure Yang Dao Embryo" aura he had sensed on a whim!
"Oh no! This is a trap!!" Blood Shadow realized what was happening, but it was too late to forcibly interrupt the spatial connection!
The three giant wolves were forcibly dragged into the air above the blood pool, where their violent, icy demonic energy clashed with the pure blood essence like fire and water!
"Chi chi chi——"

A violent conflict erupted!
Demonic energy and bloodlust clashed and annihilated each other in a frenzy!
The three-headed giant wolf let out a miserable howl, its powerful body shattering inch by inch like glass! Its flesh, bones, and spirit all turned into a mixed and impure mass of demonic energy, which was then swept into the vortex of the blood pool!
"puff!"

After absorbing the mixed demonic energy, Blood Shadow was struck as if by a heavy blow! Its body, formed from pure blood demonic energy, twisted violently!
"Now! Do it!"

A low, cold shout rang out!
Chen Qing stepped out from the void! Behind him, Han Jing Zhenren, Ji Yue Zhenren, Elder You Chan, Ling Wan, and Xuan Su appeared at the same time!
With his hands clasped like ice wheels, Master Han Jing pushed forward with a sudden burst of extremely condensed, dark blue light, which shot towards the core of the Blood Shadow!
Elder Youchan's ten fingers moved like butterflies flitting among flowers, and streaks of pale green Xuan Yin Water Arrows, carrying the deathly aura of the Nine Netherworlds, blocked all of Blood Shadow's escape space like a torrential rain!
A cold, clear moon appeared above Jiyue Zhenren's head. With a flick of her slender hand, a streak of moonlight sword energy, like a bolt of lightning, struck first and cleaved straight at the head of the blood shadow!
The three Golden Core cultivators unleashed their long-awaited thunderous attack at the moment when Blood Shadow was at his most vulnerable!

The blood pool churned, instantly submerged by the biting cold, the soul-corroding death aura, and the chilling moonlight!
