Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1792 - 1790: Sisters United

Lu Ye spared Xiang Yin's life; firstly, because he really needed to gather some manpower. Xiang Yin had enough strength and was clever enough, making her a suitable candidate. Moreover, if he were to kill Xiang Yin, he would also need to kill Xuan Yu to eliminate any future trouble.

Secondly, he had the means to control Xiang Yin.

This method was naturally to have her refine his treasure blood and make her his Blood Servant.

Once she became his Blood Servant, there would be no concern about her rebelling. By then, she would be as loyal as Ma Shangsi!

When a drop of treasure blood appeared at Lu Ye's fingertip, it instantly drew the attention of Xiang Yin and her sister.

Both women felt a strong attraction to this drop of treasure blood, a primal longing, yet alongside this lure, they could sense the terrifying danger hidden within the blood.

"What is this?" Xuan Yu asked.

She had never seen treasure blood before.

If she were a true member of the Blood Race, she wouldn't have asked such a childish question. Every true Blood Race member, upon reaching the Moon Jade level, would know the truth about treasure blood through different channels, either taught by elders or comprehended on their own...

But they weren't true Blood Race members; they were only "first generation Blood Race" created by the unique environment of the Core World. All their understanding of the Blood Race was based on the continual development of their Blood Race bloodline.

So their knowledge of the Blood Race was very partial and fragmented.

But no matter what it was, Xuan Yu realized that this was not something easily refined, and it was definitely Lu Ye's method to control her sister.

What shocked her even more was the intense saintliness contained within the drop of blood, much stronger than when they activated the Blood Race secret technique.

While she was still in doubt, Xiang Yin suddenly looked resolute. Maintaining her kneeling posture, she moved forward, opened her small mouth, and sucked on Lu Ye's finger.

This sudden action made Lu Ye pause, and then he felt a soft little tongue swirl around his fingertip, tickling him...

Looking into Xiang Yin's eyes, Lu Ye saw a determined look.

She was indeed a clever woman, knowing that in the current situation, she couldn't refuse any request he made, so she simply chose to express her stance.

But in the next moment, Xiang Yin's expression changed.

Lu Ye withdrew his finger, stood up, and grabbed Xuan Yu's arm: "Go!"

With mana urged, they darted into the distance.

Xuan Yu dared not resist, only looking back at Xiang Yin, calling out loudly: "Sister!"

The response she got was Xiang Yin's piercing scream, and the place where she stood was instantly enveloped by a dazzling golden light!

Moments later, on another mountain peak about 30 miles from Xiang Yin, Lu Ye landed, looked back, and could no longer see Xiang Yin's figure. Only a vast Blood Sea rose and fell, with golden light shimmering within it. Xiang Yin's screams continued, and inside the Blood Sea, her mana fluctuations surged unceasingly.

Although Xuan Yu didn't understand the situation, she knew her sister was in trouble. Nervously, she looked at Lu Ye and asked, "What's happening to Xiang Yin?"

Lu Ye didn't want to engage too much, but considering that if Xiang Yin successfully refined the treasure blood, both sisters would need to serve under him in the future, he explained: "Normally, for a Blood Race member to possess saintliness, they have to refine Sacred Blood! The so-called Sacred Blood is the blood left after the Blood Ancestor's death. If a Blood Race member successfully refines it, they can claim the title of Saintly Venerable. In the Blood Race tribe, the Saintly Venerable holds a high status, far above ordinary Blood Race members, because their saintliness can suppress normal Blood Race members, and their growth limit is also higher. However, the process of refining Sacred Blood is extremely dangerous and can lead to death at any moment."

Xuan Yu's face went pale as she listened: "What Dao Brother bestowed...is Sacred Blood?"

Lu Ye remained silent. His treasure blood was almost indistinguishable from Sacred Blood, so calling it Sacred Blood wasn't incorrect. Back when Ma Shangsi refined the treasure blood, it was equally dangerous. Whether Xiang Yin could survive this ordeal depended on her own fate.

However, Lu Ye had a faint feeling that Xiang Yin wouldn't die easily; this drop of treasure blood might even bring her significant benefits.

Lu Ye sat down, recalling his earlier observations of that Blood Moon.

Xuan Yu stood not far in front of him, her eyes nervously fixated on the blood sea 30 miles away, her slender hands clenched tightly, nails digging into her flesh.

After a while, she suddenly seemed to have made a decision and flew back into the blood sea.

Lu Ye opened his eyes, unusually surprised, as he watched her snowy figure rush into the Blood Sea...

Although he could stop her, Lu Ye didn't act. This was Xuan Yu's own choice; forcibly intervening would only breed resentment. Moreover, from his standpoint, if Xiang Yin failed to refine the treasure blood and died, he couldn't spare Xuan Yu's life.

Given this, allowing the sisters to live or die together wasn't a bad choice.

When Xuan Yu's figure also entered the blood sea, the screams from inside weren't just Xiang Yin's...

Time flowed on.

The sisters' screams gradually subsided, the golden light in the Blood Sea dissipated, and the vast Blood Sea slowly drew back.

When Lu Ye returned, he immediately saw the two sisters disheveled and drenched in sweat, embracing each other.

They looked quite disheveled, especially Xuan Yu, whose face was full of fear, clearly having had a bad experience while refining the treasure blood.

In contrast, Xiang Yin, although not in a great state, her eyes were bright as if a new world had opened up for her. She curled up in her sister's arms, tilted her head to look at Lu Ye descending from the sky, and breathlessly asked, "Is there more?"

Lu Ye stared at her expressionlessly for a while before responding indifferently, "Depends on your future performance!"

Black Prison Cliff is where the Demon Race's Zhou Ran's cave residence is located.

A fierce battle is unfolding, the fight between Zhou Ran and Xiang Yin.

The Blood Sea surges, with two figures hidden within it, making it difficult to discern the situation, but from Zhou Ran's frantic shouts, it's clear he is at a disadvantage, an absolute disadvantage...

At this moment, Zhou Ran was undoubtedly shocked.

Because he knew the details of the Snow Race sisters well; in single combat, they couldn't possibly be his match, yet today's fight took him by surprise.

Only contending with Xiang Yin for a short while, he fell into a disadvantage, and the situation continued to worsen.

The reason was that his own saintliness was suppressed, preventing him from exerting his full power.

Zhou Ran couldn't figure out what this was all about; just days ago, when competing with Xiang Yin, her saintliness was similar to his. Why in just this short time had she changed so much?

The Blood Sea suddenly dissipated, leaving the combatants standing apart in the air.

"Do you yield?" Xiang Yin looked smugly at Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran was full of irritation, far from yielding, restraining his anger, he asked, "Xiang Yin, for all these years, we have avoided interfering with each other, why have you attacked me today?"

Xiang Yin pouted and giggled, "Zhou Ran, don't bring up old matters, from now on, the power landscape of this domain will change significantly. I know you've been contemplating whether to pledge to Sacred Blood Summit these past years, but I advise you to make your choice carefully."

Zhou Ran was bewildered, "What choice?"

Xiang Yin said nothing, merely turned her head to look to the side.

Zhou Ran followed her gaze, realizing only then that somehow, two figures had appeared on that side. One was the previously seen human with intense saintliness, and the other was Xuan Yu, but at this moment, Xuan Yu appeared like a maid, standing not far behind the young man.

Zhou Ran was full of doubts, because as far as he knew, this young man had already left, but now puzzled as to why he returned?

Facing Xiang Yin, he still had the courage to struggle a bit, but when facing Lu Ye, he didn't even dare entertain the thought, the memory of being suppressed by intense saintliness ominously vivid, causing him frequent anxiety these days.

"Our sisters have sworn allegiance to the Venerable Lord and wish to aid him in grand endeavors. Today we came to you with an offer, Zhou Ran, what will you choose?"

That short sentence shook Zhou Ran to his core, immediately realizing that the newcomer who arrived in this domain not long ago was someone with ambitions unwilling to remain obscure!

No wonder Xiang Yin said that from now on, the power landscape of this domain will change; Moon Jade Mid-Stage isn't all that significant by itself, but possessing such terrifying saintliness undoubtedly is the greatest asset.

This person's entrance into the scene would inevitably stir the domain's power dynamics.

After some consideration, Zhou Ran chuckled bitterly, "Do I have a choice?"

He feared that if he dared utter a single refusal, he would immediately be suppressed to death!

With a sigh in his heart, after persevering for hundreds of years, still unable to maintain independence, although he had mentally prepared for allegiances, just as Xiang Yin mentioned, he had been considering seeking allegiance with Sacred Blood Summit all these years, because only by pledging to Sacred Blood Summit could he obtain spirit jade to maintain his cultivation.

Now, before he even managed to head there, he's about to be forcibly recruited...

Looking towards Lu Ye's direction, he solemnly bowed in salute, "Zhou Ran greets the Venerable Lord!"

Lu Ye nodded slightly.

Xiang Yin then looked happily at Zhou Ran, "Don't feel like you've lost out, serving under the Venerable Lord's banner is a sought-after opportunity others yearn for but can't attain. Do you know why my saintliness has increased so dramatically recently?"

Zhou Ran couldn't help but be intrigued, "Could it be…" He was just pondering over this question. Everyone's saintliness increase primarily relies on bathing in the Blood Rain or consuming Spirit Plants nourished by Blood Rain, so although the time they've spent in this domain varies, the differences between them actually aren't large, because the boost from bathing in the Blood Rain isn't substantial, merely a gradual accumulation.

Xiang Yin's abrupt saintliness boost is clearly abnormal, combined with her current words and Lu Ye's previous display of terrifying suppression, Zhou Ran couldn't help but speculate.

Xiang Yin teasingly said, "That depends on your performance!"

Zhou Ran immediately declared, "Now part of the Venerable Lord's following, Zhou Ran shall spill blood and lay down flesh, serve devotedly!"

Xiang Yin added, "Let me tell you something else, yesterday, Sacred Blood Summit sent a Moon Jade Late-Stage, carrying a red talisman, to assassinate the Venerable Lord, who ended up killing them instead!"
