"Let's go down!" Lu Ye called out and took the lead to fly down. He was too obvious a target in the sky, and although the battle just now had been short, it was inevitable that the nearby vampires would have noticed the commotion. There was something he wanted to clarify, so he naturally had to find a suitable place to talk.
The vampires hurriedly followed.
A short while later, the human and vampire arrived at a remote area. Lu Ye stood still and looked at the vampire who followed behind him respectfully.
After planting the Soul Manipulation Seed, this guy was his soul slave, so it was natural for him to be so respectful.
"What's your name?"
"Your humble servant is Lu Chang," the vampires bowed his head and replied. "Look up at me."
Lu Chang quickly looked up at Lu Ye, and after a while, he showed a suspicious look. "Holy Lord … are you a human or a Divine Clan?"
Although those who were planted with the Soul Manipulation Seed would be loyal to Lu Ye and would not have any rebellious thoughts, their intelligence would not be affected, and naturally, their thinking ability would not be damaged.
Therefore, Lu Chang was really confused at this moment because he thought that Lu Ye was a Holy Lord disguised as a human, but now that he looked carefully, it did not seem like it.
"Do I look like a vampire to you?"
Lu Chang shook his head. "Your humble servant does not know."
Lu Ye slightly activated the Blood Art, and in an instant, the surface of his body was filled with blood mist.
Lu Chang was terrified. "Please calm down, Holy Lord. If your humble servant has said or done something wrong, please enlighten me."
Lu Ye, on the other hand, understood.
If he didn't activate his blood arts, the Blood Race wouldn't be able to feel the bloodline suppression. However, once he activated his blood arts, the bloodline suppression would be obvious. That was why Lu Chang was so terrified.
This was something that Lu Ye did not expect. Just like the changes in the Blood River, it was completely undetectable before it was activated.
Last time, after the vampires besieged the Jade Blood Holy Land, he went deep into the Blood Sea when he was preparing to advance to the Divine Sea Realm. By chance, he refined a drop of Holy Blood and obtained the bloodline inheritance of the vampires.
The Holy Blood was the key to the Blood Race's Holy Seed. Every Holy Seed had obtained the Holy Blood in the Blood Sea.
After refining that drop of sacred blood, Lu Ye was able to advance to the Divine Sea Realm. However, since then, he had not fought against the Blood Kindred again. Naturally, he did not know that he had gained some of the Holy Seed's abilities, such as the bloodline suppression on ordinary Blood Kindred.
In a sense, he could be considered a Holy Seed, but he was still a human.
Why did this happen?
Logically speaking, the Talent Tree could burn all impurities. Even if there was something special about the Sacred Blood, it would lose the ability to create a Sacred Seed after being burned. Therefore, it shouldn't have the ability to suppress the bloodline of the Blood Breeds.
But on second thought, since he could even obtain the inheritance of the Blood Breeds, it didn't seem strange that he could obtain the ability of the Holy Seed.
There must be some holiness in the Sacred Blood that even the Innate Talent Tree couldn't burn or didn't need to burn. After he refined and absorbed it, not only did he obtain the bloodline inheritance of the Blood Kindred, but he also gained the ability of a Sacred Seed.
What a pleasant surprise!
When he first set off from Qianliu Blessed Land, Lan Qiyue had once given him a Saint Blood Jade. It was an item that she had nurtured with her own blood. When activated, it had a great deterrent effect on ordinary Blood Breeds.
However, several years had passed, and the Sacred Blood Jade gradually lost its effect. Otherwise, Lu Ye would have taken it out to fight against the enemy this time.
Now that he had the holiness of a Sacred Seed, he no longer needed the Sacred Blood Jade.
This meant that he had the ability to kill ordinary Blood Breeds, and he could also plant the Soul Manipulation Divine Sigil on any ordinary Blood Breeds at will.
This would obviously be of great help to his mission.
"Are there any grotto-heavens nearby?" Lu Ye asked.
Lu Chang replied respectfully, "Three hundred miles to the east, there is a Sea Leap Grotto-Heaven. This humble one has some friendship with Lord Sea Leap."
"Take me there!"
After a short while, two streams of light rushed into the sky and swept toward the east. A moment later, they arrived at the Sea Leap Grotto-Heaven. Lu Chang's friendship with Heavenly Venerable Sea Leap was not shallow, so he led Lu Ye straight in. The Blood Breeds in the grotto-heaven not only did not stop them, but also warmly welcomed them.
Lu Chang asked a few questions and learned that Heavenly Venerable Sea Leap was inside the grotto-heaven, so he did not stop and rushed straight to the grotto-heaven's backyard.
After a short while, they met face to face and exchanged pleasantries.
Heavenly Venerable Sea Leap was naturally curious about Lu Chang bringing a human over, but Lu Chang only said that this was his new Blood Slave, which made Heavenly Venerable Sea Leap envious.
It had to be known that although the Blood Race had the ability to take in human blood slaves, the higher the cultivation level of the Blood Race, the less likely they would do so. This was because it was basically impossible to find a powerful human. What was the point of a Blood Race member in the Spirit Sea Tier taking in Cloud River Tier and Spirit Stream Tier blood slaves?
Generally, only Blood Breeds with low cultivation would collect Blood Slaves. Therefore, Lu Ye, a Blood Slave at the Fifth Order Divine Sea Realm, was very enviable.
After a few casual words, Lu Chang had a mysterious look on his face.
He wanted to show Heavenly Venerable Sea Leap something good, so Heavenly Venerable Sea Leap dismissed his attendants.
In an instant, the Blood River surged and an invisible pressure suddenly descended. Heavenly Venerable Sea Leap had the same experience as Lu Chang.
Although he was a little puzzled as to how a human could suppress his bloodline, the aura of the Saint Seed was not fake. Lu Ye planted the Soul Manipulation Divine Rune on him and turned him into a Soul Slave.
The next thing was easy. Lu Ye asked Heavenly Venerable Sea Leap to find a suitable and hidden place and personally planted a Heaven's Fate Pillar. He also asked Heavenly Venerable Sea Leap to turn this place into a Forbidden Area where no Blood Breeds could enter or leave.
Heavenly Venerable Sea Leap had no choice but to obey.
From entering Sea Leap Grotto-Heaven to leaving, only half an hour had passed.
Along the way, Heavenly Venerable Sea Leap followed the map in a zig-zag manner, looking for a suitable place to plant the Heaven's Fate Pillar.
With Lu Chang covering for him, there was a lot less trouble along the way. Not to mention other things, just entering the grotto-heavens became very easy.
Lu Ye keenly sensed that the Blood Breeds were indeed gathering an army. This was because there were a large number of Blood Breeds stationed in each grotto-heaven. They could be summoned at any time and form an army to attack the Shen Que Sea.
The reason why they hadn't acted yet was obviously because the Blood Breeds were trying their best to gather as many Blood Breeds as possible.
The Jade Blood Holy Land, this malignant tumor, had been stalking the Blood Breeds for ten years. Now that they finally had a chance, how could they not go all out?
The closer they were to the Shen Que Sea, the more obvious the signs of the Blood Breeds gathering became.
From time to time, they could see groups of Blood Breeds flying toward the south. Normally, Lu Ye would choose to take action when he encountered such a situation.
He would eliminate the small number of Blood Breeds, and let go of the large number for the time being.
His mission was to plant as many Heaven's Fate Pillars as possible. Time was of the essence, and he couldn't waste it casually.
After leaving the Jade Blood Holy Land for a month, he had lost a dozen or so Heaven's Fate Pillars. At this rate, it would take him half a year to plant all the Heaven's Fate Pillars.
That was far too long! But he didn't have a good solution to this problem. While he was worried, he could only hurry along. Every time he found a suitable place, he would quickly take in Empyrean Blood Breeds as soul slaves and secretly plant Heaven's Fate Pillars.
Another half a month later, Lu Ye and Lu Chang were flying through the air. Suddenly, their expressions changed. They grabbed a jade token at their waist and immersed themselves in it. They could clearly feel a trace of guidance coming from the jade token.
This jade token was given to him by his Eldest Senior-apprentice Brother before he left. All the old Seniors who left the Jade Blood Holy Land would carry such a jade token with them. Within a certain distance, this jade token could be used to contact each other or ask for help.
This thing couldn't be compared to a sound transmission stone. It could transmit a clear message, but the range of its use was much greater.
His Eldest Senior-apprentice Brother had given him this jade token so that if he encountered any danger outside, he could use it to send out a call for help. If there was a Senior nearby, they could help him.
But along the way, Lu Ye hadn't used the jade token, but he had always hung it at his waist in case of an accident.
At this time, the jade token was emitting a sound. Obviously, a Senior nearby was gathering people or had encountered some danger and needed help.
He didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly flew in the direction of the jade token. After flying for four hours, he finally landed in a desolate mountain. After searching carefully for a while, he found a concealed cave and walked in slowly.
This was a spacious cave, but there was no trace of anyone.
Lu Ye said, "Which Senior is here?"
Not far away, the void fluctuated, and a familiar figure appeared with a surprised expression. "Lu Ye boy, why are you here? Did you come back from the Nine Provinces?"
The one who used the jade token to gather people was Wu Chang! He was also one of the few Seniors who was most familiar with Lu Ye.
Lu Ye fixed his eyes on him and observed him carefully. Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be injured or in any danger. Since that was the case, he didn't know why he was gathering people. However, these old seniors were all scattered outside, stirring up trouble. If they hadn't encountered something major, they wouldn't gather people like this.
"Greetings, Senior." Lu Ye bowed.
Wu Chang stepped forward and smiled. "Good boy, I knew you would come back. When did you come back?"
"A month and a half ago." Lu Ye replied.
Lu Ye told Wu Chang about the current situation in the Nine Provinces and the decision to go on an expedition to the Blood Refining Realm. For a moment, Wu Chang's blood boiled and his emotions were excited.
He looked at the Human Dao Great Sage.
