Ye Wushuang halted his steps behind a massive boulder, his gaze fixed on the scene ahead. There, two groups were locked in a standoff. One group was none other than Liu Zhiyuan and his companions who had arrived at the valley earlier, while the other was Mo Zixuan.

How had these two factions come to blows?

“Liu Zhiyuan, have you no shame?” Mo Zixuan shouted, his voice filled with indignation. “We all entered this treasure trove with the understanding that whoever discovers something first, it belongs to them. Yet you dare to rob me of my find. Do you truly believe I, Mo Zixuan, would back down from you?”

Mo Zixuan’s face was flushed with fury.

Liu Zhiyuan, however, merely smiled and replied, “Mo Zixuan, treasures belong to the capable. If you can defeat me, then they are yours. If not, they naturally belong to me.”

“How despicable,” Mo Zixuan sneered. “Liu Zhiyuan, do you think that just because your Liu clan is listed among the Five Great Clans, you truly deserve that title?”

“At present, the Qin, Shang, Chu, and Xiao clans—each of them is stronger than your Liu clan in every way. Back in the day, your clan was merely a follower of the Ye clan. It was only by clinging to the Ye clan’s coattails that your clan rose from a second-rate family to one of the top-tier clans. Yet when the Ye clan fell on hard times, your clan turned on them, exploiting their decline. You are nothing but traitors.”

“And now, you still have the nerve to do such shameless things?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan’s expression turned cold.

“You’re asking for death, Mo Zixuan.”

“I’m not afraid of you!”

In an instant, the two men lunged at each other, their fists colliding. Their followers also joined the fray, engaging in fierce combat.

Ye Wushuang, standing at a distance with his arms folded, was content to watch the spectacle unfold.

In fact, Mo Zixuan was not wrong. Back when the Ye clan rose to prominence with overwhelming might, other clans naturally sought to affiliate themselves with it, and the Liu clan was the most eager among them. There was another reason as well: Liu Chuantian, one of the eighteen Ask-the-Heaven Guards by Ye Wentian’s side, was from the Liu clan.

Recently, Ye Wushuang had learned from Yuan Pengwang and the others about the evils the Liu clan had committed against the Ye clan. Thus, he harbored even more resentment toward the Liu clan than he did toward the other four great clans.

However, his mother, Liu Yuemei, was also from the Liu clan. Yet, Ye Wushuang was still unclear about how his mother, despite the Ye clan’s decline, had ended up marrying his father.

Now, as the two factions were locked in a dog-eat-dog struggle, Ye Wushuang was in no hurry to intervene. He would wait until they had worn each other down before making his move.

Liu Zhiyuan himself was at the fourth level of the Condensation Pulse realm, and Mo Zixuan had also reached the same level. However, as they exchanged blows, it became evident that Mo Zixuan was still no match for Liu Zhiyuan.

*Boom*…

Suddenly, Liu Zhiyuan unleashed a powerful punch, aimed straight at Mo Zixuan’s face. Mo Zixuan was unable to dodge in time and took the blow full force, letting out a cry of agony and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“Hand over the item,” Liu Zhiyuan sneered, as he casually removed a bundle from Mo Zixuan’s back.

Unfastening the bundle, he revealed a brocade box about half a meter long. Inside the box were pieces of musk.

Upon seeing the musk, Ye Wushuang’s eyes lit up.

“Deer Antler Musk!”

Ye Wushuang was taken aback. This was a valuable item indeed.

This musk was refined from the antlers of a fifth-grade spiritual beast, the Bicorn Oryx, and only a fourth-grade alchemist could produce it.

The greatest benefit of this Deer Antler Musk was that when burned, it released a faint, fragrant aroma. When absorbed by warriors, it could… awaken the bloodline spirit!

Warriors with bloodline inheritances often needed many conditions to awaken their ancestral bloodline, and some might never succeed in their entire lifetime. However, using this Deer Antler Musk could significantly increase the success rate.

Ye Wushuang’s bloodline power had been stripped away when he was ten, and his uncle Ye Qingfeng’s had been as well. But Ye Feifei’s bloodline spirit was still hidden within her, not yet seized by the people of the Heavenly Fate Mansion.

With this Deer Antler Musk, he could help his sister awaken her bloodline power.

Ye Wushuang knew all too well the incredible benefits of awakening the bloodline power, which he had pioneered himself back in the day. He was determined to get this Deer Antler Musk.

Just as he was about to step forward, a voice suddenly rang out.

“Deer Antler Musk, hahaha, what a treasure! I, Chu Xiuyu, shall have it!”
