"Without two Five Void Realm experts, and with the Blood Ancestor unable to return to the Ancient God Domain, the status of the Bloodline of the Blood Ancestor has naturally been shaken. The three factions that were on equal footing with the Bloodline of the Blood Ancestor have also taken this opportunity to make things difficult for us. During this period of time, the Bloodline of the Blood Ancestor has been at a disadvantage in many battles with the three factions."
"Up until now, we have been forced to give up many of the resources and territories that we had previously occupied. However, this is not the end. During this period of time, the Psionic Lord's Bloodline of the four strongest factions has secretly plotted against the Bloodline of the Blood Ancestor. They want to compete with us for an extremely important territory. The Bloodline of the Blood Ancestor is now thinking of how to deal with them," the Master of the Ancient Wheel said. From his words, it could be seen that he did not have a solution.
Jian Wushuang sighed in his heart after hearing this.
Sure enough, there were all kinds of internal conflicts within any large force. This was unavoidable. The root of all these interests was one's own strength. Only when one's strength was tyrannical enough could one obtain more resources.
"Mr. Marquis, this time, it is all thanks to you for returning Xue Bei's Interspatial Ring. The treasures and resources in the ring are of extraordinary use to the Bloodline of the Blood Ancestor. It can be considered as barely solving our urgent needs," the Master of the Ancient Wheel said.
"You are too kind, Master of the Ancient Wheel." Jian Wushuang smiled, but in his heart, he secretly muttered to himself, "Senior Xue Bei has done me a great favor. Without the opportunity that he gave me, I am afraid that it would be difficult for me to reach where I am today in such a short period of time. Senior Xue Bei said that if I were to go to the Bloodline of the Blood Ancestor and see that they are in trouble, I would help if I could …"
Jian Wushuang did not have any friendship with the Bloodline of the Blood Ancestor, but Xue Bei had indeed helped him a great deal. In fact, he could be considered as Xue Bei's successor. Now that the Bloodline of the Blood Ancestor was in some trouble, if he could help, Jian Wushuang did not mind helping.
Of course, this was only possible if he could really help.
Everyone chatted for a while. Suddenly, the Ancient Wheel Master's expression changed. He smiled and said, "Mister Heaven Marquis, it seems like you have a lot of face."
"Oh?" Jian Wushuang looked at the Ancient Wheel Master. "Is there a reply from the Spirit Ancestor?"
"Yes, the Spirit Ancestor's maidservant has sent a message. She said that the Spirit Ancestor is willing to see you. She wants me to bring you there now," the Ancient Wheel Master said.
"Then there's no time to lose. Master Gu Lun, please lead the way." Jian Wushuang stood up with a joyful look on his face.
He knew that the Spirit Patriarch was a cold and aloof person who stood aloof from worldly affairs and might not meet him. He had always been worried because if the Spirit Patriarch was unwilling to meet him, then he would have to think of another way. However, it seemed that he was quite lucky that the Spirit Patriarch was willing to meet him.
"Sir Marquis of Heaven, please follow me."
The Ancient Wheel Master personally led Jian Wushuang to where the Spirit Ancestor lived.
…
The Spirit Ancestor was a cold and aloof person who stood aloof from worldly affairs. Therefore, although she was an ancestor in the Heavenly Ancestor's dojo and belonged to a large faction, there were no experts under the Spirit Ancestor's faction. The place where the Spirit Ancestor lived was not as big and grand as the Blood Ancestor's faction. They only lived in a bamboo forest near the edge.
In the depths of the bamboo forest, there was a winding river. It was very quiet. Other than the Spirit Ancestor and her maidservant, almost no one would come here.
However, today, the Ancient Wheel Master brought Jian Wushuang and Sinking Fire Demon Master to the bamboo forest.
As soon as they arrived, a lady in a green robe came up to them.
"Miss Lu 'er, I have brought Mister Heaven Marquis here," the Ancient Wheel Master introduced with a smile.
"You are the Heavenly Sword Marquis?" The lady in a green robe looked at Jian Wushuang.
"That's me." Jian Wushuang nodded and looked rather humble.
He could see that although the lady in a green robe was only a maidservant under the Spirit Ancestor, her cultivation had reached the level of a Master of the Law. Moreover, from the obscure pressure that came from her body, this lady's strength was at least at the Void Realm Level Four or possibly even at the Void Realm Level Five.
"A powerful Master of the Law is willing to be the Spirit Ancestor's maidservant?" Jian Wushuang looked rather strange.
"Master said that only the Heavenly Sword Marquis can come. The others can leave first or wait outside the bamboo forest," the lady in a green robe said.
"Mister Heaven Marquis, the Blood Ancestor's faction still has some matters to deal with. I will return first." The Ancient Wheel Master bid farewell and left.
The Sinking Fire Demon Master naturally stayed outside the bamboo forest to wait for Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuang was led into the bamboo forest by the lady in a green robe. Soon, they arrived at the center of the bamboo forest.
In the middle of the bamboo forest, there was a crystal clear celestial lake. In the middle of the lake, there was a small island. On the island, there was a simple courtyard and a bamboo house. In front of the bamboo house, a black-clothed woman sat calmly. Her eyes were staring at the lake in front of her without blinking, as if she had already sunk into deep thought.
Even when Jian Wushuang and the lady in a green robe came close, the black-robed lady did not react at all.
"Master, the Heavenly Sword Marquis is here," the lady in a green robe said softly.
Hearing this, the black-robed lady slowly turned her head to look at Jian Wushuang.
She had a rather delicate appearance. She could not be considered extremely beautiful, but she had her own unique charm. As for the black-clothed woman's eyes, they were like stagnant water, without the slightest ripple.
"She is the Spirit Ancestor?" Jian Wushuang looked at the black-robed lady in front of him. The moment their eyes met, Jian Wushuang felt a shock in the depths of his soul. It was as if he had fallen into an incomparably wonderful state.
"The Spirit Ancestor's attainments in the soul are extraordinary. Her every move can easily erode one's soul." Jian Wushuang was secretly shocked.
If it were any other cultivator, even if they were stronger than Jian Wushuang, they would have to be careful when facing the Spirit Ancestor. This was because soul attacks were silent and did not allow one to react at all. The slightest carelessness could cause one's soul to be annihilated or no longer be one's own.
However, Jian Wushuang was different. Due to the difference in their physiques, Jian Wushuang was least afraid of soul attacks.
"Heavenly Sword Marquis greets the Spirit Ancestor." Jian Wushuang bowed humbly.
"A Saint dares to look me in the eye without any fear. You do have some ability," the black-robed lady said softly.
"You flatter me, Spirit Ancestor," Jian Wushuang said.
"Speak. Why are you looking for me?" The Spirit Ancestor had already shifted her gaze away from Jian Wushuang.
