Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

"I can be a witness."

"But you must keep me alive."

Xue Li's voice fell.

The ancestral pool trembled even more violently.

The blood-red road collapsed inch by inch.

The inner pool is sealed.

The blood in the central pool flows backward.

The outer pool's blood river began to roar again.

The guiding light from the ancient battle monument had already fallen on Shen Ye.

In three breaths, he will be sent out of the ancestral pool.

Shen Ye looked at Xue Li.

"You are a vampire."

Xue Li gritted her teeth and said:

"So I know how they open the door."

Shen Ye said:

"You just stopped me."

"I guard the ancestral pool."

Xue Li raised her hand and pointed to the inner pool.

"But I don't uphold that thing."

"Xue Qianqiu is right, the Vampire Royal Court wants to use the Blood Gate to kill people."

"But they don't know that what's behind the door is also using vampires."

"If we let them continue, the vampires will become the shell of the door first."

Shen Ye did not answer immediately.

The system prompts an error.

[Special target detected: Blood Glass.]

[Identity: Guardian of the Ancestral Pool of the Vampire Royal Court.]

[Intelligence obtained: Blood Gate Altar, Royal Court Worshippers, Evidence of Ancestral Pool Contamination.]

[Recommendation: Remove it from the ancestral pool.]

[Risk: 100% chance of being hunted down by the Vampire Royal Court.]

Shen Ye read the prompt.

"Do you know what Lu Chenzhou needs to return to his soul?"

Xue Li immediately said:

"Soul-Suppressing King Lotus".

"There is one in the Vampire Royal Treasury."

"I also know where the fragments of the Nine Netherworld Soul Return Technique are."

Shen Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

That's enough.

He raised his hand and grabbed Xue Li's wrist.

Xue Li's expression changed.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Ye said:

"I'll take you away."

The ancient battle monument suddenly lit up with guiding light.

The Ancestral Pool Mark on Xue Li's body suddenly erupted.

A chilling will emanated from the depths of the ancestral pool.

Those who guard the ancestral pond are not permitted to leave the pond.

Xue Li's face turned pale.

The shattered mark between her brows seemed to come alive, frantically drilling into her soul.

Shen Ye raised his hand.

He slashed his sword towards her brow.

Blood Glass's pupils suddenly contracted.

The sword's edge stopped three inches in front of her brow.

The black-gold sword light precisely slashed into the ancestral pool mark.

Click!

The remaining half of the Ancestral Pool Mark was forcibly severed.

Xue Li groaned, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

However, the ancestral pool bindings on her body also broke.

【warn.】

The Night King interferes with the guardian of the Ancestral Pool.

The ancient battle monument's phantom image flickers.

Shen Ye looked up.

"She is a witness."

"The bet didn't say that witnesses couldn't be brought."

The ancient battle monument stands silent.

Zuchi was enraged.

Those of the vampire race must not leave the pool with humans.

Shen Ye said:

"That's your vampire's rule."

"I don't acknowledge it."

The guiding light fell.

Shen Ye, holding Xue Li, along with the Black Box, Canming, and the Four Beasts, vanished from the Ancestral Pool in an instant.

next moment.

The city walls of Zhenmo Pass.

Blood exploded.

Shen Ye staggered and landed.

Xue Li was also brought out by him, kneeling on one knee, her face pale.

The moment she appeared, the entire Demon Suppression Pass was instantly filled with murderous intent.

Qin Wuji's lightning flashed directly.

"Vampires?"

The Demon-Suppressing Army Seal of Wei Cang roared into the sky.

Lu Qingshan's eyes turned cold.

Zhou Xuan stepped in front of Shen Ye to block him.

"Don't move."

Shen Ye raised his hand.

"She carries intelligence."

Everyone paused.

Xue Li looked up and saw the city full of powerful human warriors; her expression wasn't much better.

She knew that she had gone from one dead end to another.

But at least this is not the ancestral pool.

Shen Ye handed the black box to Lu Qingshan.

"The blood lock has been washed away."

Lu Qingshan accepted it with both hands.

The astrological tablet has a stable bluish-green glow.

It was much brighter than when I left.

Lu Qingshan's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was very low.

"it is good."

Zhou Xuan quickly stepped forward to examine the life tablet, and after a moment, he exclaimed in delight:

"The remnant soul is safe."

"As long as we find the Soul-Suppressing King Lotus and the Nine Netherworld Soul-Returning Technique, there is hope for true soul return."

Lu Qingshan closed his eyes.

Thank you.

Shen Ye raised his hand again.

Sixty-three fragmented names appeared behind him.

The name is obscure.

But it didn't disperse.

When Wei Cang saw those names, his expression suddenly became solemn.

At Zhenmo Pass, many veterans had tears in their eyes.

"Chen Beiwang..."

"Zhao Hanchuan..."

"Han Lin..."

Someone recognized the name.

Some people even recognized the bugle call.

These names were once thought to be forever lost on the battlefield of all races, their souls never to be found again.

Now, Shen Ye has brought them back from the Blood Clan's ancestral pool.

Wei Cang said in a deep voice:

"Open the Hall of Heroes."

"Receiving the name."

Deep within the Demon Suppression Pass, an ancient hall slowly opened.

As if sensing their destination, the sixty-three fragmented names trembled slightly and flew towards the Hall of Heroes.

On the city wall, all the demon-suppressing soldiers simultaneously raised their hands in salute.

No one speaks.

But at that moment, even the wind stopped.

Xue Li watched this scene with a complex expression.

It was the first time she had ever seen how humans brought the dead home.

Shen Ye didn't stop for long.

He looked at Xue Li.

"explain."

Xue Li took a deep breath.

"The Vampire Royal Court has three Blood Gate Altars."

"The inner pool of the ancestral pool is the first one."

"The second one is underground in Blood King City."

"The third one is the Forbidden Zone of Bones, located even deeper within the Battlefield of Myriad Races."

Wei Cang's face darkened.

"A forbidden zone of bones?"

Zhou Xuan's voice was strained.

"Isn't that the territory of the Bone Clan?"

Xue Li nodded.

"Therefore, the Blood Gate is not solely supported by the vampire clan."

"The Blood Clan, the Bone Clan, and a portion of the royal lineage of the Thunder Demon Clan all participated."

Qin Wuji's eyes turned cold.

"Are the Thunder Demons inside too?"

Shen Ye thought of Lei Yutong.

Thunder Demon King Gate.

Blood Gate Severed Palm.

Ancestral bloodline mark.

The cable is connected again.

Xue Li continued:

"The person enshrined behind the gate in the royal court is called the Blood Ancestor Priest."

"He is not from the lineage of the Holy Son."

"He is not the one in power in the royal court."

"But he was in charge of coordinating all three Blood Gate altars."

Wei Cang asked:

"strength?"

Xue Li said:

"At least level seven."

The crowd's expressions darkened slightly.

Seventh-rank priest.

This is no longer an enemy that Shen Ye can handle alone.

Xue Li looked at Shen Ye's wrist.

"Also, the ancestral blood mark on your body must be dealt with as soon as possible."

Shen Ye lowered his head.

The dark red bloodstain on his wrist lay quietly.

Like an inanimate object.

But everyone knows that it isn't.

Xue Li said:

It's not active right now.

"But once the Blood Ancestor Priest opens the second altar, the mark will become a coordinate."

"The Blood Gate will come looking for you directly then."

Qin Wuji frowned.

"Can it be washed off?"

Xue Li said:

"Ordinary methods won't work."

"But the Soul-Suppressing King Lotus can temporarily suppress it."

Lu Qingshan looked up.

"Is the Soul-Suppressing King Lotus in the Vampire Royal Treasury?"

Xue Li nodded.

"right."

Wei Cang sneered.

"It seems that the next step is still to fight the Vampire Royal Court."

The voice just fell.

The sky suddenly darkened.

In the direction of the battlefield of all races, blood clouds rolled wildly.

A terrifying will emanated from the far distance.

Xue Li's expression changed drastically.

"not good."

"The royal court discovered that I had left the pool."

Within the blood-red clouds, a gigantic, blood-red eye opened.

The aura of a seventh-tier being pressed down on the Demon Suppression Pass.

He is not the Holy Son of the Blood River.

It's not Xue Qianqiu either.

Stronger.

Bloodshot eyes fixed on Shen Ye, then on Xue Li.

A cold voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Blood Glass betrayed the clan."

"The Night King steals people."

"Dongxia, hand over the people."

Wei Cang took a step forward.

The Demon Suppression Army Seal transformed into a colossal black-gold city, lying across the sky above Demon Suppression Pass.

"roll."

The blood-red eyes said coldly:

"Three days later."

"If you don't hand over the Blood Glass..."

"The Vampire Royal Court, the Second Royal War begins."

"Battlefield, Blood King's City."

"The wager is the Soul-Suppressing King Lotus."

Shen Ye looked up.

The blood-red eyes continued:

"If the Night King dares to come..."

"The royal court awaits you."

The blood-red clouds dispersed.

The atmosphere at Zhenmo Pass was heavy.

Everyone knows this is not an invitation.

It's a chase.

It's also a trap.

Xue Li's face was pale.

"I can't go."

"Blood King City is the main city of the Blood Clan's royal court."

"There can't possibly be only level five there."

Shen Ye looked in the direction where the blood clouds dissipated.

"The Soul-Suppressing King Lotus is there."

Lu Chenzhou wanted it.

It also suppresses the ancestral bloodline mark.

The Vampire Royal Court knew that Shen Ye had to go.

That's why the stakes were laid out.

Zhou Xuan said in a deep voice:

"We can't rush this time."

"Blood King City and Night-Slaying Platform are not the same."

"That's the enemy's main city."

Wei Cang nodded.

"We must return to the capital first."

"Report to the military and the Beast Taming Association."

"The information about Xue Li is enough to trigger a high-level meeting."

Shen Ye did not object.

He is still recovering from his injuries, the ancestral blood mark has not been removed, and the tribulation dust is still digesting the blood gate remnants.

Forcing your way into Blood King City is not a sign of decisive action.

It's a gift.

Shen Ye looked down at the ancestral blood mark on his wrist.

The dark red bloodstain suddenly twitched slightly.

Like a very small heart.

A system notification then sounded.

[New Main Story Unlocked: Blood King's City]

[Mission 1: Escort Xue Li back to the capital.]

[Task Two: Suppress the Ancestral Blood Mark.]

[Mission 3: Seize the Soul-Suppressing King Lotus.]

[Task 4: Determine the identity of the Blood Ancestor Priest.]

Ultimate goal: Destroy the Second Blood Gate Altar.

Shen Ye looked up.

"Back to the capital."

"Let's overturn the vampire table."
