As soon as he said that, he saw Lu Ye's Mountain Plate Saber dripping with blood. "You killed him?"
This was truly strange. A mere blood meal actually had the guts to kill a saint. He had lived for so many years, but he had never seen such a thing before.
However, he had sensed Lu Ye's spiritual power fluctuations just now. He was only a human cultivator at the Spirit Stream Realm. He should have been a villager from a nearby village. How could he have killed a member of the Holy Race with such a cultivation base?
That Saint Clan member was at the Cloud River Tier, after all.
Just as he was feeling a little bewildered, he suddenly frowned and stared at Lu Ye. "What are you eating?"
Lu Ye gazed at him as she chewed. This sound was oddly familiar to the vampire.
He had also eaten blood crystals from his own race.
What made him even more horrified was that the two blood feasts were not frightened at all when they saw him. Instead, they were eager to try.
The Blood Clan member finally realized that something was wrong. He turned around and was about to escape, but the next moment, he felt a pain in his head. It was as if someone had hit his head with an invisible sledgehammer. He couldn't help but stagger a few steps and fall to the ground.
When he came back to his senses, there were already two figures in front of him, looking down at him from above, one on the left and one on the right, expressionlessly.
"How dare you!" The vampire was furious. He was a noble saint race, so when had he ever been looked at so disdainfully by a blood food? He immediately felt humiliated. Dao Thirteen slapped him on the shoulder, and the Blood Race youth felt as if his entire body was about to fall apart. He finally panicked when he felt the irresistible force on his shoulder, but he still tried to put on a brave front and yelled, "Let go of me! If you dare disrespect me, you're all dead!"
Lu Ye scrutinized the stubborn vampire, wondering whether to kill him and take his blood crystal or use Soul Manipulation to enslave him.
The Blood Crystal was indeed very useful to him. At this moment, he could clearly feel that the shackling force in his body was rapidly dissipating. In this short period of time, his cultivation had been restored to the Seventh Order Spirit Stream Realm, and it was still continuing to recover. If he could obtain another blood crystal, it would be easy for him to recover his Cloud River Tier cultivation base.
But if he really did that, it would be a one-time deal.
It was undoubtedly better to enslave the Blood Race. He could use this Blood Race to search for more traces of the Blood Race and obtain more blood crystals.
At this point, Lu Ye made a decision. He raised his hand and pointed at the vampire. The Blood Breed was still struggling, but after being slapped by the impatient Dao Thirteen, he immediately became obedient.
Lu Ye tapped a finger on the Blood Tribe cultivator's forehead, and activated his divine sense. He could feel the Blood Tribe cultivator's resistance. However, this Blood Tribe cultivator was only at the Cloud River Tier, so his divine sense was naturally not as powerful as Lu Ye's.
A few days ago, Lu Ye couldn't enslave Dao Shisan because Dao Shisan's spirit was stronger than his. He had no choice but to use the Deity Vanquishing Sword to break Dao Shisan's spirit defense.
Against a Blood Tribe member at the Cloud River Tier, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
As the Soul Manipulation Divine Sigil was branded, the Blood Tribe's resistance became weaker and weaker until it completely stopped.
Lu Ye retracted his hand and sensed the connection between him and the vampire in front of him. He knew that the divine pattern had been completed.
Actually, if it wasn't for the fact that the difference in size between humans and the Blood Clan was too obvious, he wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble. He could have turned into a Blood Clan member by activating the spirit tattoos on his face.
However, the difference in size was too obvious, and the Blood Tribe's skin was red, so there was no way to disguise it.
The Blood Tribe cultivator stood up and looked at Lu Ye, his expression full of caution and respect. The Soul Manipulation Divine Sigil only enslaved the other party's mind, but it didn't affect the other party's mind. At this moment, in the Blood Tribe cultivator's heart, Lu Ye was sacred and inviolable. However, he didn't know how to address Lu Ye, so he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"What's your name?" Lu Ye asked.
"Zhang Julai," the Blood Tribe cultivator replied honestly.
Lu Ye frowned. "Why do you Blood Tribe cultivators all use human names?" The Blood Tribe cultivator he had killed before also had a human name. Lu Ye hadn't paid much attention to it at the time, thinking that it was just a coincidence. However, now it seemed that wasn't the case.
Zhang Julai replied, "Human names are pleasant and easy to remember. In ancient times, the Holy Race used another kind of name. However, that kind of name was difficult to pronounce and difficult to understand, so it was gradually abandoned. The current rule of the Holy Race is that after killing the first human, we take their name for ourselves."
Lu Ye thought for a moment and realized that there was indeed such a rule in the information he had obtained from the dead Blood Tribe cultivator. However, because the information he had obtained was too large and complicated, it was difficult for him to digest it all in a short period of time, so he hadn't noticed it. The Blood Tribe cultivator in front of him was called Zhang Julai. In other words, there was once a human with this name.
"Then, if a human's name was Goudan or something like that …" Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.
Zhang Julai said, "There are indeed people with this kind of name in the Holy Race … However, if you don't like it, you can completely abandon it and take it again."
It was just a matter of killing a few more humans. For the Blood Tribe, it really wasn't a troublesome matter.
It was precisely because of this rule that the Blood Tribe cultivators had all kinds of strange names. Often, the Blood Tribe cultivators born in the same place would not have the same surname. It was extremely strange.
"Take me to your cave residence!" Lu Ye urged.
Unlike the Nine Provinces where sects stood in great numbers, the Blood Tribe didn't have sects because of their simple cultivation. They knew how to cultivate from the moment they were born. It could be said that the cultivation method was branded in the depths of their blood. As long as they followed the prescribed order and had enough resources, they could continuously obtain great power.
In this regard, the Blood Tribe was much stronger than the human race.
100%
If the human race wanted to cultivate, they must first have the aptitude for cultivation. Even if they had the aptitude, it would be difficult for them to go far if they weren't good enough.
However, almost all of the Blood Tribe cultivators could be said to be cultivators. They could improve their cultivation by refining the essence of blood. They could also improve their cultivation by hunting their own kind for blood crystals. The latter, in particular, was very helpful to the Blood Tribe.
Therefore, there was no need for sects at all, let alone teachers to teach them.
They basically gathered around their cave residence. The number of Blood Tribe cultivators gathered in a cave residence and the strength of their cultivation determined the size of the cave residence. The various cave residences frequently fought and attacked each other constantly. They were not only seizing each other's blood crystals, but they were also seizing the humans under each other's jurisdiction. To the Blood Tribe, the human race was not only livestock in captivity, but also a cultivation resource. They were also a hotbed for breeding their own kind.
Zhang Julai and the Blood Tribe member killed by Lu Ye belonged to two different cave residences. They had long had a grudge against each other. This village was under the jurisdiction of Zhang Julai's cave residence. Logically speaking, the humans here were the property of Zhang Julai's cave residence.
That Blood Tribe member came over for no reason, so Zhang Julai naturally couldn't tolerate him and fought him. Zhang Julai came out on top in the battle. The Blood Tribe member was driven away and came to the village to hunt for blood to replenish himself. In the end, he was killed by Lu Ye and Dao Shisan.
Due to the internal strife, the Blood Tribe suffered huge casualties every year. However, the dead Blood Tribe members would become nutrients for the growth of the other Blood Tribe members. Moreover, the Blood Tribe members were easy to breed and cultivate. Therefore, the total number of Blood Tribe members in the Blood Refinement Realm didn't decrease and could be constantly replenished.
With the Soul Manipulation Divine Rune, Zhang Julai naturally wouldn't disobey Lu Ye's orders. He immediately led him into the depths of the mountain.
As the sky gradually brightened, the villagers of Cangnan Village began to go out. However, Lu Ye and Dao Shisan were nowhere to be seen. In addition, a woman was missing from a family in the village.
The villagers had long been accustomed to this and were only slightly sad. Those who were supposed to work in the fields went to work, and those who were supposed to hunt in the mountains went hunting. On the other side, Zhang Julai urged the bloody light to wrap around Lu Ye and Dao Shisan and bring them to the depths of the mountain. On a rock wall, there was a huge cave entrance that looked like the mouth of a ferocious beast.
Bright Moon Cave.
This was the cave mansion where Zhang Julai lived. Along the way, Lu Ye asked Zhang Julai a lot of questions and learned that there were more than ten Blood Tribe members gathered in Bright Moon Cave. Most of them were at the Cloud River Realm, but there were also a few at the Spirit Stream Realm. The owner of the cave mansion was a female Blood Tribe member named Sun Miaozhu. She was at the Cloud River Realm Ninth Order and could be considered the strongest in Bright Moon Cave. This hundred-kilometer radius could be considered the territory of Bright Moon Cave. There were four or five villages like Cangnan Village under its jurisdiction. The cave entrance was guarded by Blood Tribe members. When they saw Zhang Julai's escape light from afar, they warned loudly, "Who are you?
Zhang Julai replied, "It's me!
As he spoke, he had already landed at the cave entrance.
When the Blood Tribe member saw Zhang Julai, he grinned, "So it's Brother Zhang." Then, he saw Lu Ye and Dao Shisan beside him and couldn't help but be puzzled, "Brother Zhang, these two Blood Tribe members are …"
My new blood slaves. "Zhang Julai replied casually.
The Blood Tribe could activate a special kind of blood seal and brand it into the body of a human cultivator. Its function was similar to Soul Control, but its control was not as absolute. Back in the Soaring Dragon Realm's Sealed World, Lu Ye had heard of the term 'blood slaves'. On the way here, he had also discussed with Zhang Julai how to deal with them. The Blood Tribe member glanced at Dao Shisan with some envy, "Brother Zhang, you have good eyes. This Blood Tribe member is full of vitality and is very good. If he is nurtured well, he may become a great talent in the future."
Then, he looked at Lu Ye and shook his head, "This one is much worse." Lu Ye had lived for so long, but this was the first time someone had looked down on him so much. However, he was now Zhang Julai's blood slave, so naturally, he didn't have much of a reaction. He just stood behind Zhang Julai respectfully.
"Has anything happened in the cave recently?" Zhang Julai asked.
The Blood Tribe member shook his head, "What can happen? It's still the same." Zhang Julai nodded slightly and led Lu Ye and Dao Shisan into the cave. The passage inside the cave was spacious, dry, and not damp. There were oil lamps on both sides of the passage, so it wasn't dark.
After walking for a while, many cave dwellings appeared on both sides of the passage.
The first few cave dwellings were empty and didn't look like they were inhabited. However, not long after, Lu Ye found a figure in one of the cave dwellings.
He glanced at it casually and didn't pay it much attention at first. However, he soon stopped and frowned.
