Elder Jing Lin stroked the beard on his chin as he seriously recalled the events of the past.
Suddenly, his eyes widened as if he had thought of something very important. "There really is a special type of blood essence. At the time, I was still a small deacon in the small inner court of Qin City …"
Elder Jing Lin described the exact time. It was when he was in his twenties and was in high spirits.
"Fine, fine, fine. Don't talk about how you rose from a small fry to an elder. Hurry up and tell me about the blood essence," said Zhu Minglang.
"Well … I won't hide it from you, Young Master. That Neon Sea Blood Jade was actually obtained by our Zhu Sect. I was fortunate enough to see it in the inner court of Zither City, but I never heard anything about it. I didn't know where it went until twenty years later when I accidentally saw it in the inner court of Lake Drip," said Elder Jing Lin.
Zhu Minglang glanced at Li Xinghua and Mi Rong.
The two women also looked quite surprised.
The origin blood of the previous generation's Sparrow Wolf God had turned into a Neon Sea Blood Jade. It had been obtained by the inner court of the Zhu Sect and sent to the inner court of the Zhu Sect in the imperial capital.
In other words, the item the Sparrow Wolf God had been searching for was in the Zhu Sect!
"Young Master, have you never heard of the name of the number one sword in the world forged by our Zhu Sect?" asked Elder Jing Lin.
"Jadeblood Sword," said the white-haired guardian.
As a swordmaster, how could he not know the name of the sword? The Zhu Sect had relied on this sword to rise up a level in the sect. They were one of the few major factions that didn't have Dragon Herders or Divine Mortals as their core members.
Jadeblood Sword???
Zhu Minglang had never heard of it before!
Elder Jing Lin looked at Zhu Minglang with disdain, seriously suspecting that Zhu Minglang was an imposter.
"That's right, it's the Jade Blood Sword. After obtaining the Neon Sea Blood Jade, the old headmaster treated it as a treasure. He searched for the most perfect materials in the world and spent a whole ten years to forge the Blood Jade Sword. It is also because of this sword that we firmly occupy the position of the last of the six great clans. Under the leadership of the old headmaster who is not good at management, we did not completely decline. After all, we have this treasure! "Elder Jing Lin said.
"Do all the members of the Zhu Clan know about what you're talking about?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Of course not. Only the elders of the Zhu Clan know about the Jade Blood Sword. The Great Guardian has been an elder of our inner court for ten years." Elder Jing Lin said.
"Alright. Zhu Tianguan rarely tells me about the inner workings of the Zhu Sect. This Neon Sea Blood Jade was formed from the solidified blood of a certain god. If it is forged into a sword, it will become the most precious treasure of the Zhu Sect," Zhu Minglang said.
On the surface, Zhu Minglang was explaining calmly, but something was surging in his heart!
The best sword in the world. So there was such a treasure in his clan, and it was forged with the blood of a god. If Stegosaurus devoured it, wouldn't he have a Scarlet Blood Divine Sword?!
Where was it? Where was it in the inner court of the Zhu Clan? The Sparrow Wolf God was trying so hard to obtain it. It was too dangerous to leave it in the inner court of the Zhu Clan. It was better to give it to him for safekeeping!
"Young Master, it seems like the Sparrow Wolf God is your fated enemy. Even if you didn't meet him near the Wasteland, he would still appear in your destiny because of the Jade Blood Sword," Li Xinghua said.
"Mm, I'm afraid it will be the end of the Zhu Clan then." Zhu Minglang nodded.
"The clues are very clear. Young Master, we might have to rush to the royal capital tonight," Li Xinghua said.
"Now?"
"I saw some signs. At first, I thought it was just a fight between the Zhu Clan and King An, but now that I think about it, it might not be as simple as I thought …" Li Xinghua said.
Li Xinghua's prophetic dream had many scattered images. It was impossible to determine the cause of the whole thing without using the clues in the real world.
She saw a bloody fight in the inner court of the Zhu Clan. The instigator was King An.
Even though King An's Imperial Residence and the Zhu Clan had been fighting for many years, and there were frequent fights, it was very likely that the Sparrow Wolf God had found out the whereabouts of the blood jade and ordered King An's Imperial Residence to attack the Zhu Clan!
"There's no time to lose, let's return to the Zhu Clan now!" Zhu Minglang realized the severity of the situation.
The major factions were already in chaos due to the arrival of Tianshu Shenjiang. Some of the major forests and clans might even disappear overnight. If King An's Imperial Residence was backed by the Sparrow Wolf God, the Zhu Clan was in a very dangerous situation!
"Master, it'll take at least ten days to half a month to get to the Imperial Capital from here. If you make a round trip, won't the Ancestral Dragon City, which we've worked so hard to protect, fall into the hands of others? I think we should choose to believe in the Faction Leader. He'll handle this crisis well. Even if we can't defeat the major factions' ferocious attacks, the Faction Leader will have a way out. If we can protect the Ancestral Dragon City, it'll be a good place for the Zhu Clan to rise again, "Elder Jing Lin said.
"Did Zhu Tianguan say something to you?" Zhu Minglang frowned.
"No … Nothing. The Faction Leader just doesn't want you to get involved in the fight between the clans." Elder Jing Lin quickly shook his head.
"What time is it now? Hurry up and be honest!" Zhu Minglang glared fiercely at Elder Jing Lin.
"Master, the Faction Leader sees things clearer than any of us. If he doesn't want you to stay in the Imperial Capital and the Zhu Clan, he naturally has some concerns," Elder Jing Lin said.
"Forget it. I don't want to waste my time with you." Zhu Minglang pulled Li Xinghua and Mi Rong away.
Right now, the Sparrow Wolf God already knew the Jade Blood Sword was in the Zhu Clan. King An had even launched an attack. This was a bloody war between clans and sects. It was very likely that the Zhu Clan would cease to exist in a few days!
Zhu Minglang had to rush there through the night. He couldn't let the Jade Blood Sword fall into the Sparrow Wolf God's hands. If he succeeded, not only would the Zhu Clan be destroyed, but the Ancestral Dragon City would also be buried alive!
This kind of god was extremely dangerous!
…
If it were before, Zhu Minglang wouldn't have been able to care about what happened in the Imperial Capital. But after going through the Dark Vortex, he could easily reach the Imperial Capital in the second half of the night.
Unfortunately, there had to be as few people who could pass through the Dark Vortex as possible. Otherwise, they would easily be targeted by the demons and monsters of the Underworld. This time, he could only bring a limited number of masters to the Imperial Capital.
"At dusk, I heard from Madam Dong that the leader of the Holy Watchtower, Hong Geng, recovered faster than expected. If necessary, we can ask him to come out of seclusion," Mi Rong said.
"Alright, bring him along." Zhu Minglang nodded.
With this big shot from the Holy Watchtower, Zhu Minglang felt more confident. After all, the waters in the Imperial Capital were definitely deeper!
