It was precisely because they understood this that the six Blood Warriors were even more shocked.
What Ma Shangsi gave them before was indeed not Holy Blood, but Treasure Blood!
It was a mysterious essence that only Blood Race Saint Venerables could condense. If it was given to a clansman, they could transform them into their own Blood Warriors. At the same time, because they had refined Holy Blood's Treasure Blood, the Blood Warriors would possess some Holiness.
Of course, this degree of Holiness was not strong, and the status of Blood Warriors was only between Saint Venerables and ordinary Blood Race cultivators.
The six Blood Race cultivators were no strangers to Blood Warriors, especially God's Grace. Not long after he had become a Sunshine Saint, a peak Saint Venerable of this world had wanted to accept him as a Blood Warrior and had even specifically discussed this matter with him.
However, God's Grace did not agree. After all, he was a Sunshine Saint, so how could he become someone else's Blood Warrior and have his life and death controlled by others? Because of this, he had offended that Saint Venerable. Although the other party did not do anything to him, it was inevitable that he would make things difficult for him.
But he had never thought that after going around in circles, he would still become a Blood Warrior!
But … how could Treasure Blood have such rich Holiness? And so much of it!
As far as he knew, even for Saint Venerables, it was extremely difficult to condense their own Treasure Blood and they had to pay a great price. Moreover, the amount of Treasure Blood a Saint Venerable could condense in their lifetime was limited because every drop of Treasure Blood would nourish the Saint Venerable's Holiness, so even Saint Venerables would not easily give out Treasure Blood, let alone transform too many Blood Warriors.
For example, the peak Saint Venerable who had looked for him in the past only had three Blood Warriors under his command, and one of them had been chosen as a Blood Warrior because of his descendant.
This was all common sense.
But at this moment, this inherent common sense and understanding was fragmented.
What shocked God's Grace even more was that if a Saint Venerable could condense so much Treasure Blood so easily and give it out so casually, just how rich was his Holiness?
"Everyone, the one in front of you is our Master, and the Treasure Blood you refined was also given by Master. As for his name … you should have heard of him," Ma Shangsi said slowly.
"We have heard of him?" God's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked curious.
When he looked forward again, Lu Ye's appearance suddenly changed, and even his aura changed.
Soon, a familiar face appeared in their field of vision.
"Nine Heavens, Lu Yiye!" God's Grace couldn't help but widen his eyes. Five Yue Yao's eyes were also filled with disbelief.
They all had a preconceived notion that the Holy Master in front of them was a reclusive Senior of their clan, but they never thought that it was actually Lu Ye, who had a bounty on his head.
As far as they knew, Lu Yiye from the Nine Heavens was a human!
The moment the words left his mouth, God's Grace broke out in cold sweat, "This subordinate has misspoken, please forgive me, Sir!"
"It's fine." Lu Ye smiled, "You are Ma Shangsi's friend, and now that you have refined my precious blood, you are one of us from now on. Old Ma thinks highly of you, so he recommended you to me when he came to the Blood Jade Realm."
God's Grace raised his head and looked at Ma Shangsi standing beside Lu Ye, his mood complicated for a moment, "Many thanks for Sir's high regard, this subordinate will follow Sir's side in the future, at your beck and call."
A few Yueyao also hurriedly expressed their loyalty, "We pledge our lives to follow you, Milord, even if we have to go through fire and water, even if we have to die a thousand deaths!"
They couldn't be disloyal. Ever since they refined the precious blood, they had already cut off their past. From now on, they were Lu Ye's people.
Lu Ye spoke again, "I know you have doubts in your hearts. I am indeed the Nine Heavens Lu Yiye you speak of, and I am also a human, but I am also a Holy Master of your Blood Race. There are some things you will slowly come to know in the future, but right now, there is something I need your help with!"
God's Grace hurriedly said, "Please tell us, Sir."
Lu Ye spoke slowly, and the new Blood Warriors trembled in fear. None of them had expected that in such a peaceful environment, there would be surging killing intent and fierce undercurrents.
Only now did the Blood Race look at Ma Shangsi with incomparable gratitude, because if Ma Shangsi hadn't recommended them to Lu Ye, they would have died in the following conflict without even knowing how they died.
After a short while, the six new Blood Warriors left.
Lu Ye calmly waited for the arrival of the World Edge Pavilion's meeting.
He was wondering if he should find a way to sneak in. Although the Heavenly Mandate had said that he, as Holy Master Yue Yao, should be qualified to attend the meeting and could bring Ma Shangsi in to listen, the Heavenly Mandate was only a small character in a meeting of that level. Bringing Ma Shangsi in was the limit, and it was impossible for him to bring Lu Ye in.
He was still very interested in the matter of the descending general trend, and he desperately wanted to know what this so-called general trend was.
However, after thinking about it, he didn't seem to have any particularly good ideas.
At this moment, an unconcealed aura suddenly rushed over from afar, and Lu Ye immediately sensed it.
Ma Shangsi also quickly sensed the aura and hurriedly ran over, "Milord, the Heavenly Mandate is here."
"Go and welcome him. He is your new master, after all."
The corner of Ma Shangsi's eyes twitched, "Milord, you must be joking."
After a short while, Ma Shangsi and Lu Ye stood outside the palace, looking at the Heavenly Mandate descending from the sky, and bowed, "Welcome, Holy Master."
Lu Ye also bowed slightly, his gaze passing Ma Shangsi's figure and looking at the Heavenly Mandate. Suddenly, he felt a little strange, because the Heavenly Mandate's expression was a little vexed and angry, and he didn't know what had happened.
After looking deeply at Ma Shangsi, the Heavenly Mandate said, "Come with me!"
Ma Shangsi didn't understand, but he still stepped forward and followed. Lu Ye also followed closely behind like a servant, only glancing at the Heavenly Mandate and not paying him any more attention.
In the realm of the Blood Race, all races other than the Blood Race were inferior races, so even if Lu Ye was disguised as Yue Yao, the Heavenly Mandate didn't care at all.
Along the way, Ma Shangsi asked halfway, "Holy Master, where are we going?"
The Heavenly Mandate was silent, and it was obvious that he wasn't in a good mood. After a long while, he said, "Ma Shangsi, your fortune is here."
"What do you mean, Holy Master?"
The Heavenly Mandate turned to look at him, "You'll know when the time comes, no need to ask." He was obviously not in the mood to say anything.
Ma Shangsi had no choice but to follow in silence.
Half a day later, the three of them arrived in front of a huge palace. There was a vigorous aura inside the palace, and it was obviously a Sunshine, and not an ordinary one at that.
When they arrived, Ma Shangsi finally reacted, and secretly transmitted a message to Lu Ye, "Lord, this should be Lingze's territory. Lingze is the Heavenly Mandate's father, and he's also the third strongest cultivator in the entire Blood Jade Realm, and he's at the late stage of the Sunshine Realm."
Previously, Ma Shangsi had told him that the Heavenly Mandate had a good father. Hearing Ma Shangsi's words now, Lu Ye immediately understood that this should be Lingze.
But … why did the Heavenly Mandate bring Ma Shangsi here? And he said those words on the way here.
Lu Ye suddenly had a bad feeling.
In a flash, the Heavenly Mandate landed in front of the palace, and led Ma Shangsi inside.
The main hall was spacious and empty, except for a figure sitting at the very top.
When they reached the center of the hall, the Heavenly Mandate cupped his fists and said, "Lord Father, I've brought Ma Shangsi."
Behind him, Ma Shangsi stepped forward and bowed. "Ma Shangsi greets Lord Lingze!"
Lu Ye also lowered his head.
At the top of the hall, Lingze's sharp gaze landed on Ma Shangsi. His gaze was filled with a sense of scrutiny, but he let out a hearty laugh. "Good, good, good. Our world has finally produced another Sunshine. This is truly worthy of celebration. Ma Shangsi, right? This sovereign has heard of you.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Lord Lingze looked Ma Shangsi up and down for a while, and was obviously very satisfied. "I heard that you were friends with the Heavenly Mandate when you were young, and you're also a citizen of my territory?"
"Yes." Ma Shangsi nodded. He was indeed born in Lingze's territory, but a low-level Blood Breed like him was different from the noble Heavenly Mandate. He didn't even know who his parents were.
Blood Breeds were born from Blood Fetuses, and low-level Blood Breeds were usually born from a large number of Blood Fetuses.
"That's right. It's my fault for neglecting you in the past."
Ma Shangsi said politely, "You're too serious, Lord."
Lingze continued, "In order to make up for my mistake, I've decided to take you as a Blood Servant. What do you think?"
Ma Shangsi was stunned.
However, he finally understood why the Heavenly Mandate looked so unhappy when he came to find him. He also understood what the Heavenly Mandate meant when he said 'good fortune'.
So that was it!
The Heavenly Mandate was naturally unhappy that his follower was chosen by his father to be a Blood Servant. However, everything he had was given to him by Lingze, and he couldn't resist Lingze's words.
From the Heavenly Mandate's point of view, he could understand Lingze's earnest advice.
Ma Shangsi was not God's Grace. God's Grace was proud and arrogant. Back then, he had rejected the recruitment of a top Lord to be a Blood Servant. In recent years, other Lords had not tried this. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to be rejected again?
However, Ma Shangsi was different. Although he had also become a Sunshine Lord, he didn't seem to have any backbone. Even a Lord like the Heavenly Mandate was willing to follow him, let alone a Sunshine Lord like Lingze. In Lingze's opinion, as long as he expressed this wish, Ma Shangsi would definitely agree.
Moreover, Ma Shangsi had just returned to the Blood Jade World. The news of him becoming a Sunshine Lord hadn't spread yet. Once it did, the Heavenly Mandate alone wouldn't be able to keep Ma Shangsi.
It was with all these considerations that Lingze personally came forward to prevent Ma Shangsi from being recruited by other Sunshine Lords.
It was a good thing for any Saint to have another Sunshine Realm cultivator under their command.
What was a drop of Blood Servant compared to this?
In the main hall, many thoughts flashed through Ma Shangsi's mind. He quickly understood that he couldn't refuse Lingze's proposal!
Although he was asking him what he thought, if he really refused, he would definitely anger the other party, which would be detrimental to his next plan.
In that case, he could only agree.
However, he was already Lu Ye's Blood Servant. It was impossible for him to refine someone else's Blood Servant …
He sighed in his heart. This guy Lingze was really rushing to his death.
Others didn't know what kind of amazing methods Lu Ye had, but as the First Blood Servant, how could Ma Shangsi not know?
Therefore, there was no need to discuss anything with Lu Ye. Ma Shangsi knew what he was planning at the moment. He immediately put on a grateful posture and said, "Ma Shangsi will remember Holy Sir's great kindness. I am willing to be a Blood Servant!"
