Within the underground palace, in the Tianzi Secret Palace, Ye Wushuang was absorbing streams of vital energy, which flowed continuously into his body. The faintness caused by the depletion of his vital essence was somewhat alleviated, though his face remained terrifyingly pale. The recovery of his vital essence was not something that could be achieved in a short time merely by absorbing pure vital energy.
Qing Shiyu carefully helped Ye Wushuang to his feet and led him to Ye Yunzhe. Looking at Ye Yunzhe, Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “My name is Ye Wushuang, and I am also a descendant of the Ye clan. Technically, I should address you as my ancestor.”
Ye Yunzhe, however, was clearly not entirely trusting of Ye Wushuang yet. “When the Ye clan was destroyed, my second brother was killed, and his lineage was almost completely exterminated. The eighteen Tianwei guards either died or disappeared. Which lineage do you claim to be from?”
“If you truly are a descendant of the Ye clan, how did Wang Jianmu allow you to live until now?”
Ye Wushuang smiled and replied, “My lineage now consists of only a few people. Some members of the Ye clan were imprisoned, while others escaped. Those who escaped were under the surveillance of the Tianji Mansion and the Shengdan Sect. Each generation of our clan had their bloodline spirits stripped away. My father, as a result, did not live past forty years old.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunzhe was taken aback and began to trust Ye Wushuang a little more. “How did you manage to infiltrate here?”
“It was originally a disciple trial in the Qingtian Mountains by the Qingyun Academy of the Qingyun Empire. I accidentally discovered that the Tianji Mansion had set up a base here to research bloodline spirits,” Ye Wushuang explained patiently. “Although I am only at the early Yuanfu realm, I have many ways to blend in.”
“As for how I managed to enter the Tianzi Secret Palace, I can’t go into the details right now. But follow me, and I promise you will be safe, and they will be safe too. In fact, at this point, you really have no other choice!”
Ye Yunzhe gave a bitter smile and said, “Yes, even if this is also a scheme by the Tianji Mansion, I indeed have no other choice.”
“So, what do you suggest we do?”
Ye Yunzhe continued, looking at the悬浮古镜 (suspended ancient mirror), “Right now, outside, the people from the Qingyun Academy and the Tianji Mansion are engaged in fierce battle. Once we go out, it’s impossible not to be discovered. How can you guarantee that you can safely lead these Ye clan members away?”
“Moreover, even if Wang Jianmu is not here now, he should be fully aware of everything here. Once he returns… you will have no chance of escape at all!”
He glanced at the four puppets and added, “Four puppets at the initial Tian Gang realm are not enough…”
Ye Wushuang smiled, a genuinely happy smile, and said, “As long as you agree to leave with me, the rest is up to me to handle!”
Ye Yunzhe replied with a bitter expression, “As you said, do I really have a choice?”
“Then I’ll take that as a yes!”
Ye Wushuang showed a hint of excitement and then turned to Qing Shihua, Qing Shiyu, and Wang Kun, instructing, “You three, protect the Ye clan members!”
“Follow me!”
With that, Ye Wushuang walked to the edge of the blood pool and, looking at the vast pool, said with a smile, “Such a vast amount of vital energy, left here, would be a waste. Better to take it with us!”
As he spoke, he clenched his hand, and the vast space of the Ninefold Spirit-Taming Pagoda erupted, directly absorbing all the rich vital energy liquid from the large blood pool. Combined with spiritual arrays, this vital energy could form a very powerful cultivation array, which would be immensely beneficial to cultivators.
Ye Wushuang continued, “You all go ahead first!”
Qing Shihua, Qing Shiyu, and Wang Kun led more than thirty Ye clan members and began to retreat.
Ye Wushuang looked at the vast fifth-level space, knowing that there were still many secrets here, but there was no time to investigate thoroughly now. With a flick of his finger, a faint flame danced at his fingertip. He threw his hand, and a cluster of flames fell to the ground…
