I have the best bloodline

Upon hearing this, Su Yan's face was full of dissatisfaction. He then stuck out his tongue and wrote a blood pact on the sword.

The folk remedy given by his aunt seemed a little outlandish, but it was very effective. When the blood from his tongue was smeared on the sacrificial knife, the sacrificial knife did not reject Su Yan's contract and directly absorbed his blood and magic power to remember Su Yan's identity.

........................

After signing a blood pact with the sacrificial sword, Su Yan didn't wander around aimlessly. Instead, he obediently squatted in the courtyard of the inn, studying the sword of the Holy Mother Xuan Tong.

The old glutton wasn't lying to Su Yan; the sacrificial knife truly possessed miraculous effects.

It possesses the power to amplify magical abilities and also has the ability to set up a powerful spirit-gathering array.

As long as the sacrificial knife is stuck in the ground, a blood-red array pattern will radiate outwards from it, forming a powerful spirit-gathering array. Within a radius of five miles, spiritual energy will rapidly condense into this array.

Over a long period of time, it can even condense liquid spiritual energy, and the formation does not consume mana or spirit stones when it is set up. The sacrificial knife itself knows how to draw spiritual energy from heaven and earth to set up the formation.

only.

Su Yan looked at the array patterns of the Spirit Gathering Array and felt that he had seen them somewhere before. If he remembered correctly, weren't the array patterns of the Spirit Gathering Array the same ones that were engraved on the sacrificial stone platform when the Holy Mother Xuan Tong was preparing to sacrifice herself to seize the Dragon Mother of the West Sea?

The more Su Yan thought about it, the stranger the sacrificial knife seemed. Moreover, as the number of times the longsword was forged increased, Su Yan could vaguely sense that it might not be a magic weapon, but rather possess an independent weapon spirit, like the Red Jade Hairpin Sword.

It should be a living longsword, and even contain a spell that Su Yan cannot use for the time being.

Methods of seizing life and taking lives?

Su Yan is unaware that he needs to strengthen the connection between the two parties through a ritual to uncover the hidden secrets.

"Little fox! Help me—"

Su Yan sat cross-legged in the backyard of the inn, with the sacrificial longsword resting on his crossed legs. He spread his arms and gently pressed them against the ends of the sword to perform the ritual.

But a gasp from inside the hall made Su Yan slowly withdraw from communicating with the sacrificial longsword and look at his aunt who was rushing from the inn's lobby to the backyard.

"Huh? What's wrong, Auntie? Is that dragon egg causing trouble again?" Su Yan asked, looking at her aunt who was rushing anxiously towards the other courtyard.

"No. It's my aunt and great-grandmother who's here. My little darling, go scout ahead and see if they've brought me any local specialties."

The Pride Insect Clan is currently experiencing an insect plague. The older insects are reproducing like old trees, and after they've given birth, they pass the offspring on to their offspring or to respected elders in the family for care.

Given the surging breeding season of the larvae, my aunt thinks that when my aunt and the great-grandmother came, they might have brought some larvae eggs or larvae with them.

Therefore, when Su Yan received a message from his aunt that he and his ancestor had arrived in Yuanhai City, his aunt did not immediately reveal her location. Instead, she had a conversation with Su Yan and asked him to go ahead and scout the way.

If things really aren't right, then Auntie might have to leave her avatar here to receive guests, while she herself runs to the next block to secretly peek and observe, afraid that those little bugs might crawl onto her.

Chapter 425 The Proud Insect Ancestor

"Go quickly, remember to keep the communication jade active. When you see my aunt and the ancestor, notify my aunt."

Auntie strolled over to the backyard of the inn, pushed Su Yan, who was meditating cross-legged, to his feet, and told him to go outside the inn to greet his aunt and the old ancestor.

"Auntie, I don't know what your eldest aunt and great-grandmother look like!"

Pushed to his feet by his aunt and given the command, Su Yan, his face darkening, looked at his aunt who was hiding behind him with an expression of utter despair and spoke.

"They look quite like me. You'll know when you see them at the door." Auntie didn't explain much, but hurriedly urged Su Yan to go to the inn's entrance to greet the Proud Insect Ancestor.

Because there really is no need for explanation. As soon as Su Yan sees his aunt and ancestor, he will be able to instantly recognize the strange combination of the two people, one big and one small.

The arrogant patriarch, who looked like a little girl, and his old-fashioned demeanor, along with a young girl, made them instantly recognizable in this distant sea city.

"Alright! I'll go check out the front gate."

Su Yan used the sacrificial knife to support himself as he stood up, then put it back into his storage ring and headed towards the inn's lobby. Ignoring the dragon egg that was bouncing around on the table, clamoring for the large breasts of the merman mother, Su Yan walked to the door and looked out at the main road leading from Farsea City to the Cold Retreat Manor, searching for the strange combination of one small and one large that his aunt had mentioned.

"where?"

Su Yan stood in front of the inn, his face full of gossip, his hand tightly gripping the communication jade, searching for his aunt and ancestor who could scare his aunt into running away.

"Little fox—"

Just as Su Yan was gazing into the distance, a familiar female voice reached her ears. Su Yan was startled and shifted her gaze from the main road to the direction of Bihan Villa.

"Aunt Huayu?"

As soon as Su Yan turned around, she saw Hua Yu Zhenren, the manager of Wan Hua Ge in Xia Yucheng. She smiled and raised her hand to greet her, while beside her were female cultivators of different heights and ages.

The female cultivator leading behind Hua Yu Zhenren was about eight or nine years old, around 1.3 meters tall. The female cultivator accompanying the little girl was about 1.5 meters tall and exuded a girlish charm.

Based on Su Yan's understanding of the Pride Insect Clan, the Pride Insect Clan possesses the strange talent of reverse aging. As long as one can identify a Pride Insect Clan member while traveling in the martial world, the younger and more immature the Pride Insect appears, the stronger and more powerful its cultivation will be, capable of killing someone with a single punch.

My aunt looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old at first glance, while the two senior members of the Pride Insect Clan in front of her looked to be seven or eight and twelve or thirteen years old respectively, which showed that their cultivation was strong and powerful.

"You must be Su Yan, the one Xiao Qiong was talking about?"

The little girl, who was being stared at by Su Yan, frowned and said, "He is indeed handsome. No wonder that girl Xiao Qiong keeps a fox spirit in Xia Yu City and is so reluctant to go home."

The Xia Dynasty revered all kinds of foxes. Foxes that had not yet become spirits were pleasing to the eye, while foxes that had become spirits were rarely ugly.

Because the ugly fox gene has long since disappeared through natural selection, the species could not survive to this day. Those demons who have survived to this day are basically blessed with good fortune and good luck, and are not ugly.

"The fox spirit that the ancestor had should be the child of Su Qing and Ao Renlin."

The girl beside the child rubbed her head and began to correct her ancestor's inappropriate use of language:

"That girl, Xiao Qiong, wouldn't do something so heinous."

Auntie had lived in Xia Yu for quite some time. With the introduction of Master Hua Yu, she roughly knew what her younger aunt's life was like in Xia Yu City, as well as the information written in her younger aunt's letter. Therefore, when she saw Su Yan, Auntie immediately knew that he was the protagonist who had prompted her younger aunt to write a letter for help.

The proud insect tribe has been engaged in raiding for generations and values ​​unity and loyalty above all else. Therefore, after receiving her aunt's request for help, her aunt immediately returned to Pingfeng Mountain and invited the ancestor, who had long since retired from worldly affairs, to come out.

"Little fox—hug!"

Hua Yu approached Su Yan with a smug look on her face, gave the little fox, whom she hadn't seen for several days, a big hug, then turned around and gestured to Su Yan to introduce the two powerful immortals behind her:

"This exquisitely beautiful senior is none other than the Pride Insect Ancestor, one of the long-cherished wishes of the goddesses of the Valley of a Thousand Flowers, and the Pride Insect Queen beside her."

"Grandmother, Aunt."

Upon seeing the two, Su Yan greeted the little girl and the young woman with a sweet smile, and also sent a telepathic message to her aunt, informing her that she had not seen the little insect that frightened her:

"My aunt is brewing tea inside and specifically instructed Xiaoyan to come out and greet the two elders."

With a smile on her face, Su Yan subtly made up for her aunt's absence and invited the three of them inside.

In the inn's lobby, the dragon egg, which had been making a ruckus and searching for food and women, turned around and jumped into Ao Jin's arms when it sensed someone entering at the door. It was clear that the dragon egg was leaning forward and burying its head deeply in Ao Jin's arms, occasionally turning its head to peek at the proud insect ancestor who had entered through the door.

A sense of crisis arose spontaneously, making the dragon egg feel a pang of unease just looking at the proud insect ancestor.

So when the Proud Insect Ancestor came in, it ran into Ao Jin's arms with a completely honest expression, watching the Proud Insect Ancestor lead everyone to the backyard while Su Yan walked ahead.

"Grandpa! Auntie!"

Upon arriving at the inn's backyard, the aunt, who had originally planned to run away, sat down at the tea table, brewed hot tea, and feigned a look of delight. She quickly stepped forward to the proud worm patriarch and the eldest aunt, saying, "I've been so worried about you!"

"Humph"

The proud worm snorted and said, "I haven't seen you come back during holidays. You don't even come to deliver gifts to the mountains. If it weren't for the trouble caused by your own little fox wolf, you might not have been able to contact me."

"It's not that I've been too busy with business lately; I've just established myself in Xia Yu and haven't had time to go back to the mountains."

Decades may seem like a long time, but for the proud insect ancestor and the earth immortal cultivator, decades is a very short time in their life cycle. Just as my aunt said, it's enough for them to gain a foothold in Xia Yu.

"Please, please sit down."

My aunt, with a beaming smile, took the arm of the proud worm ancestor and invited him and my aunt to sit down.

Not seeing any other insects, Auntie was in a very good mood and spoke very fluently.

"Aunt Huayu, how is she?"

Su Yan deliberately lagged a few steps behind and looked at Aunt Hua Yu beside him, asking, "Is there anything like that?"

"No! But Auntie is really good. I originally thought I would be whipped every day and wanted to spend all my money to help her get rid of the bad luck, but I didn't spend it all."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 426 Gathering

"Originally, I thought I would be whipped, and then go through all sorts of hardships, lose all my wealth, and be in dire straits before I could finally get in touch with my aunt. But it turns out that my aunt is a really nice person. When she came to Xia Yu City, she even invited me to have dinner at Luoheju."

Hua Yu, her face full of emotion, told Su Yan about her recent experiences. She marveled at how her aunt's personality was almost too good compared to her younger aunt, which made Hua Yu feel somewhat uneasy. She felt guilty if her aunt didn't whip her a couple of times with a small leather whip.

She was so good to him, and he not only coveted his aunt's body, but also tried to seduce the younger ones, wanting to enshrine them all on the altar.

Su Yan: "."

Aunt Hua Yu, wake up! Have you forgotten what sect you belong to? Isn't being a proud worm a dream for you Gu cultivators? How come you've been so easily fooled by your aunt that you're completely disoriented?

The relationship between Gu cultivators and Gu worms is symbiotic and mutually beneficial, and the two are as close as partners. However, Aunt Hua Yu is clearly confused by her aunt. In terms of status alone, she is directly inferior to Gu worms. What would happen if there was a chance to sign a contract?

Aunt Huayu is probably being sold into slavery by her aunt, and even helps count the money after being sold by her aunt, and even complains that the money is not enough.

Although the arrogant insect race has made a living by plundering for generations, there are subtle differences between arrogant insects. For example, Auntie is actually an arrogant insect with the characteristics of a bandit. When in doubt, she can directly call for support through the sound transmission jade and work together to make a fortune.

But my aunt is a completely different story. She's all smiles and friendly, fooling you until you lose track of day and night and even steal your underwear.

If you actually believe your aunt's nonsense and follow her down the wrong path, you might wake up one day to find yourself sold into a brothel.

Su Yan looked at Aunt Hua Yu with a face full of black lines, watching her talk about how good her aunt was in front of her.

"Aunt Hua Yu, please wake up!" Su Yan shook his head helplessly and sat down with Hua Yu Zhenren at the tea table in the pavilion. He glanced at his aunt, who looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

"We already know the general situation," the Proud Insect Ancestor continued, "Does that mean you should run away with us?"

"It's not entirely that. The little fox's situation is rather complicated. His father is probably preparing to confront the dragon clan and negotiate, but I'm not entirely sure if he can reach an agreement. I'm afraid they might end up flipping the table and fighting during the negotiations."

My aunt shook her head and said.

To be honest, Su Yan's situation isn't complicated. He was only dragged into the power struggle between his fathers. There's not much that's really related to Su Yan.

But now there is clearly an opportunity. Su Yan will gradually grow up and can't really live a life of hiding forever.

Auntie thought it would be better to stay here and see how the Dragon Father and the Dragon Kings talked, and then have the Ancestor and fellow Daoists mediate a bit so that both sides could have a proper talk and truly resolve the problem so that Su Yan would no longer be subject to any degree of personal freedom restriction.

If the negotiations really break down completely, then there's nothing more to say. Let the little fox go back to the mountains with me or just cling to Princess Wuxi's short legs!

"Is there any problem with Ancestor's arrangement?" Auntie shared her thoughts with Ancestor Jiaochong.

"."

The young-looking, arrogant insect ancestor looked at his aunt, then at Su Yan sitting to the side, pursed his lips, and complained, "It's not a big problem, it's just that we haven't done such a losing business in a thousand years, so I feel a little uncomfortable."
