Chapter 497: Blood Spirit Secret Technique_1

A Saint Realm powerhouse was slain just like that, and by the betrayal of his own companion no less, a truly tragic and sorrowful death.

With the death of Xue Hai and the escape of Xue You, the remaining dozens of Blood Wolf experts lost all desire to fight and sought to flee, only to be counter-killed by the people of the Miao Tribe. In the end, only about ten managed to escape, while the rest perished here.

By this time, the area outside the ancestral shrine was dyed red with blood, with hundreds of bodies lying around—both of Blood Wolf assassins and Miao Tribespeople, including many innocent and pitiful women, children, and elderly. Those survivors of the Miao Tribe were all covered in blood and bore serious injuries.

This could certainly be considered the greatest damage the Miao Tribe had suffered in nearly a century, with the death toll nearing hundreds.

Although they had won the battle, every single Miao Tribesperson lacked any sense of joy, instead displaying expressions of grief and immense sadness due to the death of their relatives and fellow tribespeople.

Even the Clan Leader and several Elders were seriously injured.

"Clan Leader, Saintess, I’m sorry, it’s my fault for acting recklessly, leading to this great disaster befalling our Miao Tribe," the Grand Elder said in a low voice as he approached Miao Chang’an.

"If it weren’t for your intervention, Grand Elder, I fear our Miao Tribe would have truly been finished. You need not feel any guilt. If anyone is to blame, it is I, the Clan Leader of the Miao Tribe, for not protecting our people adequately."

Miao Chang’an spoke calmly, his gaze turning to Ye Luo beside him, "Young friend, we owe you our gratitude for this time as well."

"Clan Leader, you are too kind," Ye Luo shook his head and said.

"Clan Leader, what exactly happened here? Who were these people, and why did they attack the Miao Tribe?" the Grand Elder couldn’t help but ask.

"Even I am not clear who they really are. They had previously invaded the Forbidden Land, and now they’ve come claiming they want the Miao Knife Ancestor," Miao Chang’an said gravely.

"Invaded the Forbidden Land?" The Grand Elder’s eyes narrowed as he thought for a moment before saying, "Their strength feels familiar; could it be them?"

"Grand Elder, what have you realized?" Miao Chang’an looked at the Grand Elder, puzzled.

"This is bad, the Forbidden Land is in danger. Clan Leader, you lead everyone to manage things here; I must make a quick visit to the Forbidden Land," said the Grand Elder anxiously, before swiftly leaving the area.

"Feng, let’s go," Ye Luo’s eyes shifted, and he spoke abruptly, heading for the Forbidden Land.

Miao Xiaoling suddenly spoke up, "Brother Ye, wait for me."

"Xiao Ling!" Miao Chang’an’s face changed as he called out to her.

"Clan Leader, I will go have a look," said the Second Elder, his face pale, as he too headed for the Forbidden Land.

Meanwhile, within the room where Nie Yuntian and others were kept, Zi Yun sat there, her pupils flashing a blue glimmer as she swept her gaze over Nie Yuntian and the others.

At this very moment, in the valley of the Forbidden Land, a fierce battle was raging on with Blood Shadow, Xue Yan, and Xue Kong three people waging a great fight against two elderly men.

One of them was the Forbidden Land Elder whom they had encountered before, and the other was also an Elder of the Forbidden Land. Both were Saint Realm powerhouses, and their auras seemed even stronger than those of Miao Chang’an and the others, even feeling mightier than the Grand Elder himself.

As for the remaining members of the Blood Wolf organization, including Xue You, they all hid outside the valley, not daring to approach. The aftershocks of the battle between Saint Realm powerhouses were simply too powerful, especially with five of them fighting at once.

In this moment, the trio of Blood Shadow were at a disadvantage in their fight against the two Forbidden Land Elders, completely suppressed and in a highly precarious situation.

"What do we do now? The strength of these two might have already reached the seventh layer of the Saint Realm. If this goes on, we are likely all doomed to die here."

Blood Kong’s expression was extremely solemn as he spoke, continuously resisting the attacking assaults of the Forbidden Land Elder.

"Damn it, to think that the Miao Tribe actually has such an expert, it is truly a miscalculation," Blood Yan said with an incredibly ugly face, as bloodlight surged around his body.

"At this point, our only option is to use the secret technique," Blood Shadow said with a flicker in his eyes and a somber voice.

"But this secret technique can only last for half an hour, and once the time is up, we will all become extremely weak," Blood Kong commented with a solemn expression.

"We can’t worry about that now, let’s take down these two old fellows first," Blood Shadow said, quickly moving his hands and forming a secret seal.

Immediately afterward, Blood Kong and Blood Yan also formed their own secret seals.

Blood Spirit Secret Technique—With my lifeblood, ignite my bloodied form!

In an instant, the aura of the three of them skyrocketed, and the blood within their bodies even began to burn, emitting boundless blood qi. The terrifying blood qi reverberated in all directions.

"It really is them!"

The two Forbidden Land Elders, upon seeing the trio perform the secret technique, their expressions hardened and they said coldly.

"It seems they are indeed here for the Blood Demon Cave; we must stop them at all costs."

The two Forbidden Land Elders exchanged glances, each spurring their own strongest strength into action. Around them, a chilling hurricane swept through, and the formidable aura turned everything in the valley to dust.

At this moment, the three of Blood Shadow’s party were enveloped in blood qi, and the power they were radiating had already surpassed that of the two Forbidden Land Elders.

Afterward, the trio charged toward the two Forbidden Land Elders, each unleashing their strongest strike.

The Forbidden Land Elders were not about to show weakness either, each amassing all their power for a mighty blow.

Instantly, the five Saint Realm powerhouses launched a horrifying strike that collided, like sparks hitting Earth, the fearsome power sweeping forth, with blood-colored light enveloping the entire valley, as bloodlight shot up into the sky, and the continuous sound of thundering explosions resounded.

Grand Elder and Ye Luo, who were making their way toward the valley’s Forbidden Land through the forest, changed their expressions upon seeing the bloodlight that shot into the sky and hearing the sounds from the valley.

"It seems they really are headed for the Forbidden Land. What exactly is in there that has prompted the Blood Wolf Organization to deploy so many experts?" Ye Luo was filled with questions but had no answers. Only by hastening to the valley could he hope to learn the truth.

Frightening explosions continually resounded throughout the valley, and when all the energy of the impacts had dispersed, the entire valley was thoroughly destroyed, completely transformed from what it was before.

At this moment, the two Forbidden Land Elders lay tattered on the ground, their breaths weak, clearly having suffered serious injuries. As for Blood Shadow’s trio, they were all kneeling on the ground, with faces slightly pale, but apparently, they had won the battle.

"How are you, my lords?"

At this moment, the Remnant Wolf ran over, looking at the three Blood Kings with a heavy expression.

Blood You also rushed in from outside, his expression somewhat frantic.

"Why are you here?" Blood Shadow looked at Blood You with a look of surprise and asked.

"A powerful fighter emerged in Miao Village, killing Xue Hai. I was lucky to escape, and now they might already be on their way here," Blood You said hastily.
