() Chapter 95 Wu Clan Bloodline

In Tavern Two, the school‑uniform girl and Qian Feng, after drinking a glass of beer, busied themselves with their own affairs and left the tavern. B novel WWW. BxiAOSHUO. COM

"Lord."

Li Bucai, seeing Wan'er return, hurriedly asked, "How is it, have you seen the Chief Physician?"

Wan'er nodded: "As per your command, after visiting my father, my father took me to pay respects to the Chief Physician. I truthfully told the Chief Physician about Sister Ran's injury and its background. Upon learning she was from the Wu family, the Chief Physician said that the Wu family's bloodline is a special type of Sky City blood; only members of the Wu family have this blood flowing in their bodies, and the coma caused by blood conflict is rare in Sky City, so..."

"So he also has no solution?"

"Hmm. However, he said that if you ask the Wu family, there might be unexpected gains."

Li Bucai nodded, called the innkeeper over to open a top‑grade private room, ordered a dozen of the finest dishes and wines, and after the setting was ready, Wu Zhuoyue had already invited Wu An.

Li Bucai invited him to sit, brought up Wu Zhuoran's matter; Wu An had already heard from Wu Zhuoyue that during the expedition to Luo Ping Hai, his elder cousin was severely injured, bleeding excessively, and thanks to your willingness to use your own blood to save her life. In the battle of Luo Ping Hai, many of the lord's followers died, and few were heard to risk their lives to rescue others, so naturally they are immensely grateful to him.

Li Bucai's intention was not this; he mainly wanted to ask about a way to save her, and without beating around the bush, he asked directly: "My subordinates lack good physicians and are powerless regarding Zhuoran's injury. It was hard enough to reach the opening of the city; I thought the Chief Physician could help, but he also said he is powerless against this blood‑induced coma, so I have to muster courage and disturb you, elder."

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it," Wu An frowned tightly and said, "If we speak of Zhuoran's injury, I am merely a rough blacksmith, even the Chief Physician has no solution, so I am even more helpless. How about this: since Zhuoran has become like this, let her return, and I will call my grandchildren over; the elder can pick one among them to replace Zhuoran."

He knew how complex the continent below was; these lords had only arrived a month ago and hadn't even firmly planted their heels. Zhuoran's kind of injury wouldn't be fatal, but couldn't be revived. Anyway, many of these clan members are idle, there are enough people to care for her, and it would spare him from added burden.

Li Bucai naturally knew his goodwill, but Wu Zhuoran, to him, could be called the most capable among these servants, loyal to the core, after all she was his first servant, and his feelings for her ran deep; he truly could not bear to let her end her life like this.

"Zhuoran was injured this way under my command; how could I just abandon her? I have taken the lord's wishes. All things in this world generate and overcome each other; medicine is the same. I think, since we can preserve her life, there must be a way to cure her. However, regarding your Wu family's blood, why is it different from others? Perhaps the bloodline holds a clue."

Sky City's cold‑type blood is unique to this family; there must be many stories inside, and Li Bucai hopes to find some clues here.

"Alas!" Wu An let out a long sigh, as if burdened by an unspeakable craving.

Seeing this, Li Bucai ceased questioning and instead urged him to drink.

Wu An took a sip of wine and sighed, saying: "Actually, this is no longer a secret; many people in Sky City know it. The story goes back to a very, very long time ago, when our ancestors still lived on the continent below. My forefather was an outstanding hunter; once he went into the mountains to hunt and did not return for ten days and ten nights. The clan searched everywhere but could not find him, assuming he had been killed by a beast and died in the mountains. Yet on the day the clan built a tomb with his clothes and held a mourning ceremony, he suddenly appeared in the tribe, bringing back a beautiful maiden. He said he had encountered something terrifying in the mountains and was saved by the maiden's people, allowing him to return safely. Everyone thought the girl was from another tribe, and my ancestor married her. Later the tribe discovered that the maiden was no different from us by day, but at night her eyes emitted a blood‑red glow and her tears were like our blood. They realized she was a member of the Blood Clan. The Blood Clan normally has no grudges with humans, but at that time a shaman spread rumors that the Blood Clan sheds blood‑like tears because they feed on blood, specifically human blood. Not long after the shaman's words, children of both sexes began disappearing from the tribe, and people naturally suspected her. They sent someone to secretly watch her and indeed found that every night she quietly left the village; she moved so fast that pursuers could only chase a short distance before she escaped. Yet each time she left, the next day a child vanished. Later, the clan chief, taking advantage of her pregnancy and her inability to exert force, sent men to capture her while she was alone at home, but they could not seize her and many were injured by her. In the end, out of desperation, the chief and his men surrounded her house, piled firewood and straw around it, and set it ablaze, intending to burn her to death. Strangely, she did not resist; even when the windows burned, she did not rush out. When the fire died down, they found her corpse inside, its face unrecognizable, with only a treasured sword beside it. At that moment, a baby's cry came from a water jar beside her. It was still some time before her due date; she had tried several times to break out, but the doors were locked and she could not escape the flames. To avoid burning the child in her womb, she used the sword to slit her own abdomen, placing the child into a wooden basin and then into the water jar, after which she could no longer hold on. Fortunately, the house was largely built of rammed earth; after the main beams were burned, the fire subsided after a while, sparing the child. The chief intended to kill the child as well, but the father, who arrived upon hearing the news, snatched the child and fled into the mountains; the pursuers could not catch him, so he escaped. Later, someone chopping firewood discovered a pile of infant skulls with fresh blood in a mountain valley; the chief's child had suffered a similar tragedy. Wanting to investigate, he kept watch there for two days and two nights, only to discover that the true mastermind was that shaman, who had captured many children from other tribes. He was a Necromancy Priest, and later it was heard that using a child's brain matter could greatly boost magical power; all of this was his doing. After learning this, the chief led men to execute the shaman, realizing the injustice done to my ancestors. They sent people to the mountain to search, but when they found him, his beloved wife had already died, and in his grief he had slit his own throat; only a child was found beside him. They brought that child back to the village and raised him. The child was a boy, and from then on, all his descendants' blood was that cold‑type blood..."

Li Bucai sighed, "I didn't expect the Wu ancestors to have such a tumultuous history."

"It is only recorded this way in the clan genealogy; the writing only appeared after reaching Sky City. Many say my ancestors fabricated these stories because their blood differs, but whether it is true or not, no one can say for certain."

Head Wolf Lightning once mentioned that a Qingwolf Beast went looking for the blood clan. Li Bucai said, "I have also heard rumors about the blood clan in my territory; although only fragments, they cannot be baseless. The lord's genealogy records that the Wu bloodline is linked to the blood clan, so once we find someone from the blood clan, perhaps we can cure Zhuoran's injury."

"Then I, the old man, thank the elder on behalf of Zhuoran and all the Wu clan members."

At last there were some clues; after the wine and food were finished, Li Bucai saw Wu An off. By then the servants had begun returning one after another. The next step was simply to wait for Sky City to open to commoners, and after recruiting these civilians, assess the situation and decide what kind of manpower to enlist next.
