Chapter 621 - 617: Blood Pill
"And that Blood Pill is probably something the Sikou Family created using the blood of Blood Clan Beastmen."
Lady Sikou, Lin Huirou, used the power of the Bright Hall to wipe out the Blood Clan on the Cang Beast Continent, refining elixirs from the blood of Blood Clan Beastmen to enhance her strength.
Thinking of this, a sharp, cold light flashed in Su Muyao’s eyes.
The Clan Leader’s face changed dramatically, "Blood Pill?"
"No wonder, Blood Clan Beastmen are different from us. Their blood is extremely special, carrying power within it."
"I once heard from the Ancestor that he mentioned Blood Clan Beastmen originally didn’t belong to our Cang Beast Continent; they migrated here from another place, another continent."
"He said Blood Clan Beastmen are naturally bloodthirsty and were initially considered Evil Beastmen, but because the Witch Clan was still around then, they set rules, and the Blood Clan obeyed them, so the Blood Clan Beastmen never harmed other Beastmen. Even when they couldn’t suppress their instincts, they only drank wild beast blood."
"Perhaps due to their unique constitution, their blood contains immense power."
"Moreover, when they first migrated, they brought a lot of treasures. Obtaining these treasures would undoubtedly boost a family’s strength, not to mention the Blood Pill."
Su Muyao’s gaze turned cold, "That Lady Sikou, Lin Huirou, hails from the Bright Hall, and her ability to collude with the Tribe’s Fourteenth Elder indicates she’s still alive."
Back when they rescued Xuan Che, she left behind an explosive talisman, which should have been enough to kill Lin Huirou under normal circumstances.
If she survived, it implies that she had means to save herself.
The Clan Leader gripped the armrest tightly, eyes filled with anger, "Of course she’s alive, and her strength is not weak either."
This puzzled Su Muyao. Even if Lin Huirou had used means to save herself back then, she would still be severely injured.
She considered Lin Huirou a threat; back then, she was too weak to kill her.
Who knows if she can kill her now.
Nonetheless, thinking of Shen Ci’an, Su Muyao’s heart trembled; she understood that she missed him deeply.
She didn’t know what his current situation was. Has he really returned to the Blood Clan’s origin and become the Blood Ancestor?
She realized it’s useless to think about these things now.
The Clan Leader spoke, "It was because of Lady Sikou, Lin Huirou, that the Sikou Family suddenly became a top power."
"And she has the Bright Hall backing her, giving her absolute authority within the Sikou Family."
"The incident of ambushing the Ancestor also had her behind it."
Su Muyao felt that the Xuanyuan Tribe’s current state was partly her responsibility.
If she hadn’t been killed by Nan Feng then, Yun Qinglan wouldn’t have impulsively attacked the Bright Hall. As a result, he wouldn’t have been grievously injured, the Ancestor wouldn’t have had to emerge, and they wouldn’t have left the Xuanyuan Tribe.
Su Muyao said, "Clan Leader, may I see the Ancestor? I’d like to observe the Ancestor’s injuries."
The Clan Leader, recalling Su Muyao’s abilities, his eyes lit up.
Yes, if Miss Su can find a way to heal the Ancestor’s injuries, that would be perfect.
"To be honest with Miss Su, the Ancestor’s injuries are severe. The Sikou Family’s Ancestor used a Magic Artifact specifically targeting our Ancestor, imbued with a Dark Aura, which has corroded the Ancestor’s wounds, preventing healing."
"If not for the Sikou Ancestor using a Blood Pill, he couldn’t have matched our Ancestor."
Su Muyao’s expression shifted several times, "Let me have a look first and see if I can find a way."
The Xuanyuan Tribe’s Ancestor is Yun Qinglan’s direct ancestor.
The Clan Leader nodded, "Very well."
Yue Wuhen knew Su Muyao was concerned about the Xuanyuan Tribe. After all, it was Yun Qinglan’s family tribe. He said, "I will set up a Barrier Array for the Xuanyuan Tribe, so enemies can’t break in again."
Hearing this, Su Muyao’s eyes lit up, and she turned to Yue Wuhen, "Can it really be done?"
"Will it harm your body?"
"Your health is the most important."
Although Su Muyao wanted to help the Xuanyuan Tribe, Yue Wuhen’s health was her top priority.
She didn’t want him to get hurt or fall ill because of her.
Moreover, setting up a Barrier Array for a large tribe is not the same as reinforcing one; the power consumption is different.
"No worries, I have a few Witch Clan Magic Artifacts here to aid me in setting up the Barrier Array."
The Xuanyuan Tribe’s Clan Leader and elders were thrilled to hear these words from Yue Wuhen.
They had witnessed the power of this benefactor before and knew just how formidable the array he set up could be.
They were grateful and full of anticipation.
The Clan Leader took Su Muyao to find the Ancestor, while Yue Wuhen helped set up the Barrier Array.
The Clan Leader led her through the area where the sacrificial Holy Tree used to be. Su Muyao noticed the place was barren, and the Holy Tree had disappeared.
Even the area around the Xuanyuan God Mountain behind it no longer felt imbued with any strong power.
The Ancestor was meditating in seclusion north of the Xuanyuan God Mountain.
The Clan Leader naturally had ways to bring the Ancestor out of seclusion.
When the Ancestor finally emerged, even Su Muyao was taken aback at his appearance.
She could sense that the Ancestor’s injuries were severe, his presence significantly weakened, and there was a faint Dark Aura surrounding him.
Though faint, this Dark Aura affected the Ancestor’s true spirit, hindering his recovery in both health and strength.
"Greetings, Ancestor."
"Oh, it’s the young lass. Did something happen? The Ancestor will stand up for you."
She was the chosen wife of his dear grandson, Qinglan valued her so much, and even though the Ancestor was in pain and gravely injured, he was determined to protect her.
Su Muyao said, "Ancestor, I’m fine. I just heard about your injuries and wanted to see if there’s anything I can do to help."
The Ancestor glanced at the Clan Leader, eyes filled with reproach. How could he tell this young girl about his injuries?
This is someone Qinglan cherishes, and they shouldn’t burden her with their troubles.
Even if he were to die, it wouldn’t matter as long as Qinglan entered the Ascension Road.
With the aid of the Holy Tree, he was confident Qinglan could become the Beast God.
By that time, even if the Xuanyuan Tribe perished, there would still be hope for revival.
The tribe’s hope rested on Qinglan.
The Clan Leader hurried to explain, "Ancestor, our tribe was attacked by the Sikou Family, Spider Beastmen, and people from the Bright Hall. Without Miss Su and Mr. Yue’s help, we would have suffered many more innocent casualties..."
The Clan Leader briefly explained the situation.
Only then did the Ancestor understand what had transpired, "Young lass, thank you for saving my tribe. You’ve worked hard."
Su Muyao shook her head, "It’s nothing."
She mentioned that Yue Wuhen came from the Witch Clan, assuring the Ancestor not to worry.
The Ancestor’s expression changed; he smiled and sighed, "You, child, are truly a fortune for our tribe."
"Not only did you save Qinglan, but you also helped him evolve into a Bai Ze Beastman, and not to mention you’ve saved our tribe before."
The Ancestor knew that during the sacrificial ceremony, she had foreseen the chaos, allowing them to take preventive measures.
The Ancestor was also aware that it was when they were on the Mortal Beast Continent that Yun Qinglan had his opportunity to evolve into a Bai Ze Beastman, thanks to this girl’s presence.
Su Muyao said, "He’s my Beast Husband, doing all this is only natural."
"Ancestor, let me examine your condition first."
She noticed how much the Ancestor had withered.
The Ancestor didn’t hold much hope; he’d consulted many witch doctors to no avail. He could feel his own life slipping away; he just worried for his tribe.
But seeing Su Muyao’s earnest demeanor, he still extended his hand, allowing her to examine him.
