Chapter 1150 - 830: Return to the Blood Clan

Chapter 1150: Chapter 830: Return to the Blood Clan

The vast desert, solitary smoke, yellow sand in lonely silence.

The blazing sun scorches this golden land, whipping up waves of searing wind, as if it could easily scald one’s skin.

Shen Tang gathered pure Ice Power around her body, keeping all that heat at bay, unaffected by it.

"Have you really thought it through, do you still want to go back?" Shu Kui stood beside her, speaking with a hint of helplessness, and deep worry hidden in his eyes.

"No matter what, I can’t leave Xiao Jin and the others on Eris Star; I have to go bring them back!" Saving the world or the revival of the Blood Clan, she could disregard all of that, but she absolutely couldn’t let her Beast Husbands be exiled and hunted because of her.

"Alright, I’ll support any decision you make, even though I no longer have any superpowers, I will still do my best to help you." Shu Kui knew he couldn’t persuade her otherwise and said no more.

They headed to the Blood Clan’s territory.

Shen Tang, Lu Xiao, and Shen Li had initially used the Blood Clan’s Teleportation Array to get there, and it might still be possible to reopen the array to send her back.

A year had passed, the Blood Clan’s ruins remained untended, almost half buried by sand and dust, looking from afar like protruding hills.

Shen Tang and Shu Kui searched laboriously before finding the entrance, stepping once more into the ruins, and following the memory to the Blood Pool.

The Blood Pool was long dried up, a change from when she last visited.

Many of the intricate patterns had cracked, and upon close inspection, there was no residual energy.

Shen Tang’s face changed, "What happened here? Did someone invade this place?"

Shu Kui also furrowed his brows, kneeling slightly as he leaned down, his fingertips touched the damaged patterns, after checking briefly, he stood up and reassured, "There are no traces of battle here, it seems like natural damage from energy exhaustion. But the energy here is depleted, probably unable to reopen the space portal."

Shen Tang felt deeply regretful at that moment.

Shu Kui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he wasn’t her Beast Husband, and couldn’t persuade this stubborn woman.

If she really went, honestly, he wouldn’t know what to do.

"Xiao Xi, although the Star Gate is closed, fluctuating energy fragments might appear between the worlds, it’s a kind of chaotic bug produced by the world... if such twisted space fragments can be found, perhaps there’s a way back to Eris Star to find your Beast Husbands."

Shen Tang’s dim eyes regained their gleam, eagerly asking, "Really?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you."

Shu Kui gently patted her hair, speaking softly, "I will definitely help you."

Shu Kui didn’t deceive her; these words were at best a form of kind-hearted comfort.

Indeed, fragmented and warped spaces may occur between worlds, which might connect to other worlds.

But the occurrence of such situations is extremely rare, not to mention, in such a vast world, even if one or two warped space fragments appeared, they are nearly impossible to find.

Otherwise, the Divine Hall wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.

Moreover, even if a space fragment linking to another world is found, the energy inside is very chaotic and twisted, she may not be able to travel to her desired destination through it, and could be whisked away to another unknown world, making it even more dangerous.

Shu Kui said this just to comfort her and to give her a sense of hope.

After cleaning up the ruins, Shen Tang extracted the blood beads from her space and allowed them to float above the Blood Pool. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

This ancestral land of the Blood Clan seemed safe for now, as long as the Star Gate remained closed, the Divine Hall wouldn’t come again.

At least safer than following her; her connection with the Divine Hall wasn’t over yet.

Before leaving, Shen Tang paused, looked back in a certain direction, and murmured apologetically, "I couldn’t retrieve the stolen blood beads from the Divine Hall, but I brought back the souls of the Blood Clan ancestors."

"I know you don’t wish to see me, but the Blood Clan ancestors would like to meet you... now you aren’t entirely alone here."

After they left, the souls of the Blood Clan floated out, gathering around a dim blood bead in the corner.

The bead appeared dull and lifeless, yet very large, indicating its owner’s Talent Power had been exceptionally strong in life.

The souls excitedly began to chatter.

"Is this the bloodline left by the royal branch of Nie Yi Monarch? To see the royal bloodline hasn’t entirely disappeared after a thousand years is truly wonderful."

"As long as the royal bloodline of the Blood Clan isn’t truly extinct, there’s a future for our Blood Clan yet!"

"Indeed, this really is a joyous occasion! Let’s see what the Monarch looks like a thousand years later; it’s truly exciting!"

"Oh dear, why doesn’t the young Monarch come out to let us have a look? Could it be they’re shy? That’s truly peculiar."

"Could it be a Female Monarch? Is she embarrassed being surrounded by so many males?"

From the blood bead slowly emerged a tall, imposing figure, with black hair and blood-red eyes, looking devilishly handsome, with a faintly irritable expression.

"...You all are way too noisy."

The Blood Clan souls erupted into a frenzy upon seeing him.

"Is this the new Monarch of the Blood Clan? Looks just like the Nie Yi Monarch from those days, the whole air about him is just the same, clearly a distinguished lineage."

Even several female souls were practically bubbling with pink around them.

"The young new Monarch is exceptionally handsome, I think even compared to the Monarch Nie Yi from back then, he stands unmatched!"

"Who didn’t know how much the Monarch Nie Yi was adored by females back then? Countless females wanted to marry him; unfortunately, he wasn’t interested in females, with only one political wife in the harem, so many females couldn’t get close to him."

Ying Zhao listened to the chirping discussions, slightly helpless, raising her hand to calm them down, "Alright, calm yourselves."

She looked at the sullen junior across from her, her gaze filled with motherly affection and tenderness, she said somewhat curiously, "Since you retained a trace of soul power, why didn’t you go meet Xiao Tang when she came?"

Necro’s face slightly stiffened, turning away impatiently, "Why should I meet her?"

Someone chuckled, "Look at this awkward display, do you really not like her? Could it be playing hard to get, trying to make that female pity you~?"

"Such a contrary male, I think you want to see her, don’t you?"

"Ah, in my youth when I secretly liked my Female Master without realizing it, I behaved just like this, hahahaha, she thought I hated her."

Necro turned to leave, "Noisy and annoying!"

Ying Zhao chuckled softly, "When Xiao Tang mentioned you to me, she seemed to have looked somewhat saddened."

Necro’s figure momentarily halted, gazing toward the exit.

Heh.

She has found someone new now.

The ephemeral figure vanished without a trace, returning to the blood bead.

Necro never expected to survive temporarily; he thought he was truly going to die. However, the special constitution of the Blood Clan royals had set some secret technique within him, leaving behind a trace of his fragmented soul.

Even holding a fragmented soul without truly dying, the soul remained exceedingly weak.

It’s not that he intentionally hid, but he drifted in slumber most of the time, with the possibility of dissipating at any moment.

The Blood Clan souls gradually quieted down, transforming into streams of light, returning to the blood bead to recover.

They entrusted the task of the Blood Clan’s rebirth to that foreign young girl. However, even if the girl couldn’t find the Blood Soul Jade, the Blood Clan wouldn’t truly meet its end.

Unlike ordinary Beastmen, the Blood Clan resembled a natural-born species. Nobody knew how they initially emerged, but it seemed they came from a far-off place.

The souls would slowly dissipate over the years but wouldn’t disappear entirely, instead gradually coalescing again.

Maybe by some chance, perhaps eons later, merging with other Beastmen, and slowly transforming into a new Blood Clan.

Of course, by tens of thousands of years later, they’d have long forgotten past memories, becoming pure Origin Energy, part of future Blood Clan.
