Jian Guhong and the others had returned to the Jade Blood Holy Land's central island's Spirit Mountain. They reported what they had seen and done on this trip.
After Jian Guhong finished speaking, the old ghost cultivator said, "It's a pity that I didn't manage to kill Star Moon Saint this time. Originally, I had a chance to kill him, but that guy was too vigilant. He reacted the moment I attacked. In the end, I only managed to injure him. Sigh."
The Saint Lord shook his head and said, "Every Saint Seed in this world is favored by heaven and earth. It can be said that they are the children of destiny in this world. How can they be so easily killed? It's already very impressive that Senior Wu Chang was able to injure him."
Everyone present knew how impressive a Saint Seed was. It was not something that an ordinary Blood Clan member could compare to. Wu Chang, for example, said that he had a chance to succeed, but in reality, he didn't succeed. Even if he was given another chance, it would be impossible for him to succeed.
Jian Guhong had also fought a Saint Seed head-on. With his strong foundation as a sword cultivator, he could only fight to a draw with the Saint Seed.
This showed how powerful a Saint Seed was. It could be said that none of the Blood Clan's Saint Seeds were weaker than them.
However, such a powerful Holy Seed had been beaten to death by someone before.
And the person who had done this was the Saint Lord in front of them!
It was also because of that battle that top experts like Jian Guhong and Wu Chang wholeheartedly acknowledged the middle-aged man's identity and status as the Saint Lord.
It should be known that whether it was Jian Guhong, Wu Chang, or the female cultivator, they were all once famous figures in their world. They were all considered the top fighting forces of the Human Clan. Each of them was arrogant and unruly, and each of them was a character who could topple the sky with anger. They had all suppressed an era. It was not easy to make people like them submit.
Before the middle-aged man appeared, Jian Guhong and the others were scattered all over the Blood Refining Realm. They were against the Blood Clan because they were strong enough and because they were not willing to submit to anyone.
It was the middle-aged man's appearance that mixed these scattered sand together and created the Jade Blood Holy Land in the Divine Gate Sea. It was a pure land for the Human Clan.
It stood until now!
But now, the Jade Blood Holy Land was at its most critical moment.
"The Blood Clan has more troops this time than before. It seems that they want to finish this in one battle," the Saint Lord said slowly. The Holy Lord said slowly, "News from the east, south, and west has also been sent back. There are several Holy Seeds guarding each battle line and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The total number of Blood Race soldiers in all four directions is at least 1.3 million, maybe even more."
Jian Guhong and the others frowned.
This number was much higher than in the past. Although the Blood Race had sent troops to invade many times in the past, they had never exceeded a million. Thus, the Jade Blood Holy Land had been able to resist them.
However, the Jade Blood Holy Land had also paid an extremely heavy price.
When Lu Ye came this time, he saw that the Jade Blood Holy Land was surrounded by oval-shaped archipelagos and a large island in the center, but in fact, the terrain here was not like this at the beginning.
In the beginning, there were many scattered islands in the center of the Shen Que Sea, at least four times the number of islands now.
Due to the repeated battles, the outer islands were all shattered and sunk. Only the inner archipelago was left standing.
This time, if they couldn't even protect the innermost islands, then the Jade Blood Holy Land would only have the central island left. It would be impossible to defend.
Therefore, this time, the Holy Land's priority was to protect the outer islands. The most important thing was whether they could withstand the attack of the vampires. If they couldn't, once the vampires landed on the islands, they would destroy the islands immediately, creating a gap in the Holy Land's defensive line.
Judging from the Blood Clan's troops this time, it would be very difficult for the Holy Land to stop the Blood Clan and keep the enemy outside.
"We can just kill our way out. The Blood Flash World is so big. We can kill the Blood Clan anywhere," Wu Chang said.
Jian Guhong shook his head. "It's easy for us to kill our way out, but what about the others on the island? They will definitely be angered by the Blood Clan. I'm afraid no one will be able to survive."
The number of humans on the island was very large. They were all humans that the Holy Land had migrated from hundreds of thousands of miles around the Shen Que Sea in the early years. After decades of accumulation, the human race lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the base number was even larger. It was also because of this large base number of humans that the Holy Land could provide an endless supply of cultivators, turning into the Holy Land's power to resist the Blood Clan.
Cultivators and ordinary mortals had always been inseparable. Honor and disgrace were one. This was the same whether in the Nine Provinces or the Blood Refining World.
Wu Chang said, "They can't expect us to live and die with them. It doesn't make sense."
That being said, if things really got to that point, there might not be many top powerhouses of the human race who would be willing to flee alone.
The female cultivator who had been silent all this time spoke up. "What can our homeland provide?"
These people were not rootless trees or water without a source. They all had some background.
The Blood Clan had never understood how so many human powerhouses had appeared out of nowhere in the Blood Refining World. If there were only one or two of them, it would be fine. There were so many humans that there were bound to be one or two lucky ones who had obtained some kind of opportunity. However, there were not just one or two of these human powerhouses, but dozens or even hundreds of them.
This was the fundamental reason why the Blue Blood Holy Land had been able to stand firm under the attacks of the Blood Clan army time and time again. It was because the number of top powerhouses on the Blue Blood Holy Land's side was enough to repel the Blood Clan army's attacks time and time again, causing them to suffer heavy losses.
The Holy Lord shook his head. "This is also what I'm puzzled about. I tried to contact our homeland the day before yesterday, and the response I received was that they had already provided us with assistance."
However, he did not see any assistance.
"They have already provided it." The female cultivator frowned and suddenly looked pensive. "It can't be …"
Jian Guhong undoubtedly realized something. Just as he was about to speak, the Holy Lord suddenly looked down the mountain with a puzzled expression. Then, his figure flashed and instantly disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was at the foot of the mountain, in front of a stone stele.
Lu Ye stood in front of the stone stele and looked at the line of words carved on it. He softly read, "Forever Flowing Jade Blood …"
This shocked him to the extreme because the Blue Blood Sect also had a similar stone stele with the same line of words carved on it.
However, the Blue Blood Sect's stone stele could only be considered half of a stone stele. The other half was with the Pill Heart Sect. The two stone steles were combined into one to form the complete stone stele.
It was said that the Pill Heart Sect's Sect Master had personally carved it a few decades ago. However, he had split it in two, giving one to the Blue Blood Sect and one to the Pill Heart Sect to symbolize the friendship between the two sects.
However, after a few decades, the friendship between the two sects had been split into two, just like the original stone stele. It was truly a sad sight.
Lu Ye had not expected to see something similar to the one in his sect here.
After reading this line, he could not help but read the next one.
"Pill Heart Illuminates Ten Thousand Years."
He could not help but frown. His sect was the Blue Blood Sect and there was a Blue Blood Holy Land here. There was also a stone stele similar to the one in his sect. This was too much of a coincidence.
Dao Thirteen's aura suddenly fluctuated and the pressure of the Divine Sea Realm spread out.
Lu Ye was shocked and his thoughts were interrupted. He raised his hand and pressed the Pan Shan Saber at his waist. When he turned his head, he saw a middle-aged man standing not far from him with his hands behind his back.
He had not noticed when the other party had arrived. If Dao Thirteen had not reacted, he would not have noticed.
Swish, swish, swish. Several figures flew over and stood in front of the middle-aged man. It was Jian Guhong and the others.
At the same time, Lu Ye clearly sensed that various powerful Divine Wills spread out from all over the central island and paid attention to this place. Obviously, they had noticed the commotion here.
However, these Divine Wills were soon withdrawn.
Lu Ye broke out in a cold sweat. Only now did he realize that he had underestimated the strength of the Blue Blood Holy Land. Judging from the traces of the Divine Wills just now, there were probably dozens of Divine Sea Realm cultivators gathered on the island.
And this was just the traces. What about those who did not?
He calmed himself down and looked at the middle-aged man. At first glance, he felt that this man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
However, Lu Ye knew that he had never seen this man before.
As for the identity of this man … he could tell from Jian Guhong and the others' standing position that this man was Saint Lord J of the Blue Blood Holy Land.
"Dao Soldier." The middle-aged man did not look at Lu Ye immediately. Instead, he looked at Dao Thirteen and used his powerful Divine Wills to examine Dao Thirteen.
Dao Thirteen, who was not very intelligent, was infuriated by the man's unscrupulous behavior. He roared and rushed forward, punching the middle-aged man.
Lu Ye's expression changed and he quickly shouted, "Stop!"
However, he was a bit too late.
With a loud bang, the middle-aged man did not move an inch. He raised his hand and easily blocked Dao Shisan's all-out attack. A shockwave that could be seen with the naked eye swept out, causing his hair and clothes to flutter in the wind.
Suddenly, he raised one hand and pointed at a certain spot on Dao Thirteen's chest.
His movement was not fast. Even Lu Ye could see it clearly. However, there was an indescribable charm to it.
What surprised Lu Ye was that Dao Shisan did not dodge his attack.
Dao Thirteen's body stiffened as if he had been struck by lightning. Then, his head drooped and he fell to the ground.
Lu Ye's pupils shrank to the size of a needle. Endless coldness filled his body. He placed his hand on the Qing Mountain Saber and did not know if he should pull it out or not.
He knew Dao Thirteen's strength. He was not at the top of the Divine Sea Realm, but he was not weak either. However, this man had subdued him so easily.
Lu Ye did not even know what he had done.
This guy … How terrifying was his cultivation level?
The middle-aged man seemed to sense Lu Ye's worry and said, "Don't worry. He's just asleep."
Lu Ye quickly looked at Dao Thirteen and found that he was indeed just asleep. He was even snoring. Lu Ye was speechless for a moment.
"This sort of Dao-weapon was forged with a flawed technique, which is why Dao-weapons are not very intelligent." The middle-aged man raised his head to look at Lu Ye. "How is Taishan?"
