Chapter 626 - 622: One Place
The Si Kou Ancestor lay at the bottom of the deep pit, barely alive, unable to move.
All his protective powers had shattered, his bones were broken, and he was in severe pain all over, even breathing hurt.
It was then that Yue Wuhen and Su Muyao finally emerged, landing beside him, looking down at the Si Kou Ancestor in the pit.
As for the Sikou Family Master and the others, they had been wounded by hidden weapons and were kneeling nearby, also immobilized by pain.
In their hearts, they desperately wanted to escape, but they couldn’t.
They looked at Yue Wuhen and Su Muyao, feeling like they didn’t know them at all.
The Si Kou Ancestor managed to gather enough breath to speak, his voice weak and hoarse: "Sir, we have no grievances with you, why do you take action against the Sikou Family?"
He stuttered and struggled to finish his sentence.
Su Muyao responded coldly, "You’ve destroyed so many tribes and families, slaughtering countless Beastmen, and you truly believe there’s no enmity?"
"We’re here for revenge, and just as you’ve done, we’ll annihilate the Sikou Family."
Su Muyao’s words were calm, striking fear and horror into everyone present in the Sikou Family.
They displayed expressions of utter despair.
"Spare us, young lady," they pleaded.
"Have mercy, have mercy," they begged.
They feared death, though when they were destroying other tribes, they were arrogant and tyrannical.
Now, faced with life and death, they knew fear, kneeling and begging for mercy.
Su Muyao released her spiritual power, scanning them, noting the presence of Blood Pills’ aura.
They had no idea how many Blood Clan people they had slaughtered, or how much Blood Clan Beastman blood they had consumed, sealing their fate.
Su Muyao looked at them, her eyes filled with harsh killing intent.
"When you were exterminating the Blood Clan, wielding the Blood Luo Attraction Magical Artifact to hunt them down, did you ever think of sparing them?"
Su Muyao’s gaze bore deep aversion.
If not, perhaps some of the Blood Clan might have survived.
They wouldn’t have all been slaughtered.
"Of course, their blood was useful to you, helping you gain power, so naturally, you didn’t care about their lives."
"So, your deaths won’t come easy either."
As Su Muyao spoke, her sword struck, conjuring countless sword flowers that targeted the Sikou Family Master and several elders, worsening their injuries.
She only avoided fatal spots, ensuring they remained alive.
"Ah..."
They screamed, unable to believe such a beautiful female could be so ruthless at heart.
If not for Yue Wuhen, Su Muyao knew she couldn’t handle the Sikou Family with her current strength, let alone eradicate them.
She still didn’t know just how powerful Yue Wuhen was.
But she now somewhat understood why everyone feared the Great Power of the Witch Clan; indeed, the Pure-blooded Beastman’s strength was mighty.
With Yue Wuhen, she felt many problems could be resolved.
Someone, overwhelmed by fear, couldn’t help but speak: "It’s the madam, it’s the madam who devised the plan, we merely acted according to her arrangements, all of this was her doing, we knew nothing."
"Yes, the Blood Luo Guide was also given to us by her, she supposedly got it from the Bright Hall."
"The method for refining Blood Pills was also taught by the madam."
"The madam hates the Blood Clan Beastmen, insisting that not one should be left alive, and ordered that the Blood Luo Guide find them and eradicate them..."
Everyone rushed to insist it was all related to Lin Huirou.
Yue Wuhen waved his sleeve, pulling out a Magical Artifact from beneath a collapsed building, handing it to Su Muyao: "Is this it?"
Su Muyao nodded: "Yes, this is the Blood Luo Attraction Magical Artifact."
Yue Wuhen remarked: "It doesn’t look like an artifact from here."
Su Muyao heard this and furrowed her brows: "Are you saying this artifact is from another continent?"
"Yes, take a closer look at the engravings on it."
Su Muyao leaned in to inspect the intricate engravings on the Compass, contemplating, and suddenly a light bulb went off in her mind: "I remember now, the marking on the clothing of the Fierce Beast female who tried to kill me in my courtyard that day, it was similar to this."
Realizing this, Su Muyao’s expression drastically changed: "Could it be the Compass Guide was given to Lin Huirou by that Fierce Beast female?"
"But that can’t be right, she wasn’t supposed to be on the Beast World Continent before, how could she have given this to Lin Huirou?"
Yue Wuhen said: "Lin Huirou comes from the Bright Hall, perhaps the Bright Hall has always been connected with Fierce Beastmen."
"They use the Bright Hall as their cover, and Nan Feng might just be their pawn."
Su Muyao’s expression grew serious: "So it’s the Fierce Beastmen who have a grudge against the Blood Clan."
Su Muyao remembered the transparent shadow from the Blood Clan she encountered in the cave earlier, who said the Fierce Beastmen and Dragon Beastmen, along with Blood Beastmen, were the earliest Beastmen.
The Chaotic Wild Beastman, leader of the Fierce Beasts, once battled their Blood Emperor to a standstill.
He said their Blood Emperor’s Power had weakened, and to restore his peak strength, he split his soul into different fragments. Once reunited, he would be resurrected as the Blood Emperor.
"Were the ancestral lands of Fierce Beastmen and Blood Beastmen originally in the same place?"
She remembered the transparent shadow from the Blood Clan said the Cang Beast Continent was a low-level place.
Presumably, where they live is a more advanced continent.
"Perhaps, there are some things I don’t fully understand either, some records need to be checked at the Wushan Divine Hall."
"Since the Blood Clan comes from elsewhere, the Witch Clan should have documentation."
Su Muyao nodded in agreement.
They initially planned to go directly to the Wushan Divine Hall, but they stayed to eliminate the threat posed by the Sikou Family first.
While Su Muyao and Yue Wuhen spoke, they did so quietly, so others couldn’t hear them.
Su Muyao then lowered her head to the person speaking from the ground: "Was this Blood Luo Guide really brought to you by Lin Huirou?"
Yue Wuhen continued to exert his pressure, looking at the Sikou Family Master: "You speak."
The Sikou Family Master, having no choice at this point, spoke up: "Indeed, Huirou brought it back from the Bright Hall. She returned with quite a few things from there, including these offensive and defensive artifacts."
"She said if the Sikou Family followed her plan, the Bright Hall would protect our family, and we would receive many benefits."
"She claimed everything she did was for our family, for our daughter."
Since they profited from it, the Sikou Family naturally didn’t press on some matters.
"Where did she go?"
Su Muyao used spiritual power to detect for Lin Huirou’s presence but found nothing.
The Sikou Family Master spoke, "She’s in the Bright Hall these days. I heard the Bright Hall Master disappeared, and she went to help manage the Bright Hall."
At this juncture, the Sikou Family Master didn’t dare hold back information.
If he could shift their hatred and keep them alive, it’s a plan.
Su Muyao’s lips curled into a cold smile, "She certainly seems to have considerable power in the Bright Hall."
"What’s her relationship with the Bright Hall Master?"
Su Muyao naturally understood that their Hall Master, Nan Feng, was missing because he was absorbed.
