“Back then, both the Tianji Mansion and the Shengdan Sect had their eyes on the Ye Clan’s treasures. The Shengdan Sect coveted their elixir recipes, while we Tianji Mansion were interested in their bloodline inheritance,” Wang Xing explained with a hint of helplessness.

“Wang Jianmu was obsessed with bloodline research at that time. He captured hundreds of people from the Ye Clan, but instead of killing them outright, he kept them alive, breeding and passing on their bloodline, all to satisfy his insatiable curiosity about the mysteries of bloodlines,” he continued.

“With each generation, some of them would die in Wang Jianmu’s experiments. It wasn’t until two hundred years ago that he made a breakthrough in his research. He sought permission from the higher-ups of the Tianji Mansion and came here specifically,” Wang Xing added.

Qing Shihua asked, “Why here?”

“Because Wang Jianmu had made progress in his bloodline research, but the Ye Clan members he had captured were no longer sufficient for his needs. So, he planned to use members of the royal family and the five great families for his experiments,” Wang Xing explained further.

“Although he is my distant uncle, he has become so immersed in his bloodline research that he seems almost possessed. It’s quite terrifying,” Wang Xing concluded.

At this moment, Qing Shihua and Qing Shiyu were both left speechless. They could only imagine how furious Ye Wushuang must be. Not only had his family been wiped out, but they had also been captured, forced to breed, and treated like animals!

Ye Wushuang then asked, “Are there still any surviving members of the Ye Clan?”

“Yes,” Wang Xing replied immediately. “But there are only about a dozen left, and they have all had their bloodline spirits stripped away. They exist in a state that is neither human nor ghostly…”

Ye Wushuang fell silent for a moment. “Take me to one of the officials in charge of bloodline research first. I need to ask some questions.”

“Alright,” Wang Xing agreed.

With that, Wang Xing approached a room and knocked on the door. The door opened, revealing a man in his thirties, with an aura of the Yuanfu Realm, dressed in black robes, and his hands stained with blood. Upon seeing Wang Xing, the man snorted, “Wang Xing, what brings you here?”

“Elder Wang Jue, I’m here to…” Wang Xing began, but before he could finish, Ye Wushuang swiftly drew his sword and pierced through Wang Jue’s chest, pushing him into the room.

Qing Shihua and Qing Shiyu quickly followed them inside. Wang Xing’s face was splattered with Wang Jue’s blood, and he looked helpless. Ye Wushuang’s actions were always so decisive.

Wang Xing closed the door and entered the room. Ye Wushuang then drew his sword and placed it against Wang Jue’s neck.

“Wang Xing, have you gone mad?” Wang Jue roared, unable to comprehend why three Tianji Mansion disciples would attack him.

Wang Xing sighed, “Elder Wang Jue, just answer whatever we ask…”

Ye Wushuang’s sword was pressed against Wang Jue’s neck. Even though the official was at the second level of the Yuanfu Realm, he couldn’t avoid Ye Wushuang’s sudden attack.

“Tell me, where are the surviving members of the Ye Clan being held?” Ye Wushuang demanded.

Hearing this, Wang Jue let out a cold snort.

Without any further ado, Ye Wushuang stepped forward, covered Wang Jue’s mouth, and then drove his sword into Wang Jue’s thigh.

“Ugh… Ugh…” The excruciating pain turned Wang Jue’s face pale instantly.

“I’ll ask you again!” Ye Wushuang said coldly. “Where are the surviving members of the Ye Clan?”

Ye Wushuang slowly released his grip and looked at Wang Jue, whose face had turned ashen.

“In the Tianzi Numbered Secret Palace!” Wang Jue gasped.

“Very well!” Ye Wushuang continued. “Where is Wang Jianmu conducting his bloodline spirit research?”

“It’s also in the Tianzi Numbered Secret Palace. Only those at the Tiangang Realm can enter,” Wang Jue hurriedly explained.

Tianzi Numbered Secret Palace!

Wang Xing stepped forward and said, “The place we just visited was the Renzi Numbered Secret Palace, where disciples at the Condensation Pulse and Yuanfu Realms from the great families are imprisoned.”

“The Dizi Numbered Secret Palace can only be entered by those at the fourth level of the Yuanfu Realm or higher…”

“As for the Tianzi Numbered Secret Palace, I’ve never even been inside…”

Ye Wushuang raised an eyebrow and said, “You know where it is, don’t you?”

Hearing this, Wang Xing’s expression changed.
