However, after a short while, the hall was filled with corpses and blood.
Lu Ye sat on the throne of the blessed land's lord, playing with the Sacred Blood Jade that Lan Qiyue gave him before he left. Yu Lingfeng stood respectfully at the side, trembling.
With Lu Ye and Dao Shisan's abilities, it wouldn't be difficult to kill all the Blood Lights here, but it definitely wouldn't be this easy. After all, they were all True Lake Stage Blood Race cultivators.
If their lives were in danger, they would definitely put up a fight. However, it was different with the Sacred Blood Jade's suppression. When Lu Ye took out the Sacred Blood Jade, all the Blood Race cultivators present stiffened as if they were struck by lightning. Lu Ye and Dao Shisan attacked violently, slaughtering all the Blood Race cultivators present.
The blessed land's lord was still alive, but he was captured by Dao Shisan and knelt in front of Lu Ye.
Lu Ye raised his hand and touched the blessed land's forehead, urging him with his spiritual will.
After a while, Dao Shisan let go of the other party and Lu Ye put away the Holy Blood Jade. The Blessed Lord of the Blood Clan, who had been planted with the Soul Control Spell, stood up respectfully.
Lu Ye gave a few simple instructions before leaving with Dao Shisan and Yu Lingfeng.
He didn't kill the blessed land's lord out of mercy, but because he needed him to live on and continue to rule this blessed land. He wanted to provide as much protection as possible for the humans in this blessed land.
Along the way, Lu Ye would kill a group of Blood Race cultivators for blood crystals every time he passed by a blessed land. He would leave the blessed land's lord alive and plant the Soul Manipulation Divine Rune.
In fact, if possible, Lu Ye would like to plant the Soul Manipulation Divine Rune in the minds of Blood Race cultivators of the Divine Ocean Stage.
In the Blood Refining World, the places where Blood Race cultivators gathered were divided into three levels. The lowest level was the abode, guarded by Blood Race cultivators of the Cloud River Stage. The next level was the grotto-heaven, guarded by Blood Race cultivators of the Divine Ocean Stage.
The abode's lord was called the abode's lord, the blessed land's lord was the blessed land's lord, and the grotto-heaven's lord was the Heavenly Venerate.
If one could control a Heavenly Venerate, it would be very effective.
It wasn't something a mere blessed land's lord could compare to.
However, even with the Sacred Blood Jade in hand, Lu Ye didn't dare to enter a grotto-heaven with a Blood Clan member at the Divine Sea Realm. There were too many variables. A Blood Clan member at the Divine Sea Realm was not easy to control. He had been lucky to successfully plant the Soul Control Spell in Dao Shisan's Divine Soul.
Dao Shisan had fainted, and Mo Wuji had used the Deity Vanquishing Sword to break Dao Shisan's divine soul defense.
Thus, even though Lu Ye knew the benefits of controlling a Heavenly Venerable level Blood Tribe member, he didn't act rashly.
Continuing south, Lu Ye planted the Soul Manipulation Divine Runes in almost every blessed land he passed, and they all received his orders.
Xing Jin reached the peak of a mountain.
The cold wind was biting, penetrating one's bones.
As far as the eye could see, clouds and mist were rising, and waves of smoke were faintly discernible, as if they were no longer in the mortal world.
Towering Sky Peak was one of the two tallest mountain peaks in the Blood Refining Realm. It was marked on the map that Lan Qiyue gave to Lu Ye.
The other mountain peak was Jade Pillar Peak.
It was said that these two mountains were of the same height, and if one looked down from the sky, one would see that they were both semicircular in shape, symmetrical on the left and right sides of the Blood Refining Realm. It was really strange.
Lu Ye didn't know whether they were of the same height or symmetrical on the left and right sides, and he didn't have the mood to investigate. After all, he couldn't go to Jade Pillar Peak to make a comparison.
He was just passing by.
It had been almost two months since they set off from Gan Liu Blessed Land. According to the map, they had only covered 30% of the journey.
In other words, they still had to walk for at least four months to reach the Shen Que Sea.
The road ahead was really long.
They didn't stay here for long. Soon, they set off again. They passed Towering Sky Peak and entered the vast Cloud Radish Plain.
From the map, the Cloud Radish Plain was extremely large, occupying almost half of the Blood Refining Realm's territory. The Shen Que Sea was located in the middle of the Cloud Radish Plain.
It was an inland sea.
A few days later, in a blessed land where the Blood Race gathered, many corpses of the Blood Race were strewn across the hall. Yu Lingfeng silently collected the blood crystals of the dead Blood Race. Lu Ye sat on the throne of a Blessing Lord, playing with the Sacred Blood Jade in his hand. The Blessing Lord knelt in front of him, listening to Lu Ye's instructions and nodding his head repeatedly.
They had done this so many times that the three of them were familiar with it. Almost every blessed land they went to would have a similar scene.
After giving his instructions, Lu Ye got up and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, the Blessing Lord who had been implanted with the Soul Manipulation Divine Rune suddenly said, "Sacred Envoy, please wait."
He didn't know Lu Ye's background, but when he saw the round jade with the Sacred Blood Seed in Lu Ye's hand, he thought that Lu Ye was a subordinate of a Sacred Seed, so he subconsciously called him Sacred Envoy. As for why the Sacred Venerable chose a human as his Sacred Envoy, it wasn't something he needed to consider.
"What is it?" Lu Ye tilted his head and looked at him.
The Blood Race member said, "Sacred Envoy, may I ask if the Sacred Venerable is willing to subdue more Blessing Lords?"
Lu Ye narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?
The Blood Race member said, "It's like this. Not long ago, the Blessing Lord of the Yellow Dome Blessed Land reached the Divine Sea level, so he invited all the Blessing Lords to gather and prepare to hold a Blood Feast Ceremony. When the time comes, many Blessing Lords will come to support."
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
In the past two months, he had used the Soul Manipulation Divine Rune to enslave many Blood Race members, but the efficiency was still low.
However, this was just something he did along the way, so he didn't demand anything.
Now that there was an opportunity for so many Blessing Lords to gather, he could go and join in the fun.
The reason that he hadn't rashly gone looking for trouble with an Empyrean level Blood Race was because there were far too many uncertainties. Before his cultivation truly stepped into the Divine Sea realm, rashly attacking a Divine Sea realm Blood Race was far too risky.
However, if it was just a Blood Race member who had just reached the Divine Sea level, then it was completely possible to take him down.
Not to mention that many Blessing Lords would come to support him.
It could be said that what he gained from participating in this Blood Feeding Ceremony might be more than what he had gained in the past two months. Spending a few days to protect more humans was totally worth it.
"You were invited?" Lu Ye asked.
The Blood Race member said, "The one in Remnant Sky Blessed Land has some friendship with me."
"Very good!" Lu Ye nodded in satisfaction. "What's your name?"
The Blood Race member hurriedly replied, "Jin De.
Because I have a friendship with the one in Huang Qiong Blessed Land.
Therefore, Jin De originally planned to set off today, but he didn't expect Lu Ye to come to him. As a result, almost all of his True Lake Realm subordinates were dead, and he was the only one left.
There was nothing to prepare. After a while, Jin De led Lu Ye and the others away.
Huang Qiong Blessed Land wasn't too far from here, but it wasn't close either. It was a day's journey.
On the second day, the group arrived at Huang Qiong Blessed Land.
Looking from afar, Huang Qiong Blessed Land was full of jubilation. Many Blood Race members were shuttling back and forth in the blessed land, setting up all kinds of things for the ceremony.
Because it wasn't the day of the ceremony yet, the guests hadn't arrived yet.
When Jin De led Lu Ye and the others down, a Blood Race member who recognized him immediately came up to greet him with a smile. "Brother Jin De, why are you here so early? There are still two days before the ceremony.
Jin De said, "Brother Wen ascending to the Divine Ocean Realm is a joyous occasion. How can I be late? I also want to see if there's anything I can help with."
The master of Huang Qiong Blessed Land was called Wen Yufeng, and he was younger than Jin De.
The Blood Race member smiled. "Brother Jin De is considerate." He then reminded, "But Brother Jin De should call him Heavenly Venerable."
Jin De was startled, and then he laughed. "Yes, yes, Heavenly Venerable Wen.
Although they have a friendship, the Divine Ocean Realm and the True Lake Realm have different statuses. It would be inappropriate to call him Brother Wen now.
While the two Blood Race members were talking, Lu Ye's gaze fell on the many panic-stricken humans locked up in prison. Without exception, all of them had cultivation, and they were all human girls around sixteen or seventeen years old.
There were quite a few of them, about three to four hundred.
It was obvious that Huang Qiong Blessed Land had put in a lot of effort to collect so many young girls with cultivation. These girls should be the food prepared for the Blood Feast Ceremony. Once the ceremony started, the Blood Race members who came to congratulate Huang Qiong would enjoy them to their heart's content.
Lu Ye was secretly glad that Jin De had mentioned it before. Otherwise, he would have missed the ceremony, and these girls would have to face an extremely tragic fate.
At the same time, he felt a little sad. What he could see and intervene in was something he could do. In this vast Blood Refinement Realm, how many things could he not see and control?
"These two humans are …" The Blood Race member looked at Lu Ye and Dao Shisan curiously. Dao Shisan, in particular, had a sturdy figure and abundant blood essence, which attracted the Blood Race's attention the most.
Back then, Sun Miaozhu had taken a liking to him.
The two blood slaves that he brought as gifts had high cultivations.
The Blood Race member understood and immediately smiled. "Brother Jin De is considerate. If Heavenly Venerable knew, he would be happy."
"Where is Heavenly Venerable?" Jin De asked. "I will send them to Heavenly Venerable now.
"He is meditating in his bedroom, preparing for the ceremony in two days." The Blood Race member gestured with his hand. "Brother Jin De, follow me."
Logically speaking, it was not good to disturb Heavenly Venerable at this time. However, since Jin De wanted to send gifts, he could not stop him.
Therefore, he followed the Blood Race member and headed to the backyard of the blessed land.
Soon, they arrived in front of a bedroom. The Blood Race member went in to report. After getting Wen Yufeng's permission, he came out and said, "Heavenly Venerable invites you in!
"Thank you." Jin De nodded slightly and led Lu Ye and Dao Shisan into the bedroom.
They walked in. At first glance, they saw a Blood Race member sitting cross-legged. It was the master of Huang Qiong Blessed Land, Wen Yufeng.
Now that he had reached the Divine Sea Realm, Huang Qiong Blessed Land would also rise and become a Huang Qiong Grotto-Heaven. As for whether Huang Qiong Blessed Land could stand firm, it would depend on Wen Yufeng's ability.
This was also the reason why he held the Blood Feast Ceremony. He wanted to use this ceremony to win the hearts of the masters of the blessed lands nearby. Otherwise, he would not have spent so much effort to prepare so many high-quality blood feasts.
"Greetings, Heavenly Venerable." Jin De stepped forward and bowed.
Wen Yufeng opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Brother Jin De, there is no need to be so polite. You and I have known each other for many years. Although I reached the Divine Sea Realm earlier than you, there will be a day when you will reach the same level.
