Chapter 813: Blood of the Human Emperor

Ye Qingran stood above the Chaotic Azure Lotus flower, like an ancient immortal descending, divine grace as vast as the sea, divine might like a prison.

"Chaotic Azure Lotus! You actually obtained the Chaotic Azure Lotus!"

The Dead Spirit's voice now trembled, drifting back and forth, appearing extremely restless, lacking the previous arrogant pride.

The Chaos Qing Lian Seed is undoubtedly its greatest enemy, also an existence it cannot contend with!

Ye Qingran's gaze burned like a torch, aimed at the Dead Spirit.

She wore a composed expression, not replying to the Dead Spirit.

Her gaze shifted down to the vast land below; those injured in the recent melee were healed by the Chaotic Azure Lotus's life force, but some were not so fortunate—unable to endure until the Lotus bloomed, they were stripped of life by the Dead Spirit's Dead Qi.

Among them were disciples of the Jade Autumn Sect.

They were all about twenty, in the bloom of youth, promising futures, yet met a tragic death, truly heartbreaking!

If the Chaotic Azure Lotus had not bloomed in time, everyone would have perished!

"You should die!"

A voice as indifferent as ice slipped from her lips; her aura now as cold as frost, like a death god emerging from hell.

She slowly extended her hand, endless life force surging toward her palm.

"Disappear!"

Ye Qingran let out a clear shout, raised her hand and swung forward; the life force turned into endless thunder, enveloping the Dead Spirit!

"No!"

Accompanied by an extremely mournful scream, the Dead Spirit turned to ash and vanished!

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned beyond measure!

Such a mighty Dead Spirit, deemed invincible, was solved by Ye Qingran with a single move!

With the Dead Spirit gone, the Dead Qi became leaderless troops, clutching their heads, running wild, breaking into chaos.

Ye Qingran's brows slightly furrowed, and she softly uttered, "Purify!"

With the words spoken, the Chaotic Azure Lotus flashed a burst of dazzling sunrise glow; wherever it passed, the Dead Qi evaporated completely...

The surrounding world regained its former vitality; even the dead plants revived, trees turned verdant, flowers blossomed brightly.

However, those who had died could not be revived.

"Great! We've finally been saved!"

"Woo… I thought I was doomed just now!"

The survivors wept with joy, celebrating victory and rebirth.

"Sister Ran, she did it! She really did it!"

The four members of Lingyun Team looked at Ye Qingran, their hearts filled with pride.

This is their Lingyun Team captain!

She can always create miracles!

"I knew it, the boss can do it!" Bai Pang wiped a corner of his eye, hot tears welling.

"Mm." Qing Lan gave a faint smile.

They can always trust Sister Ran!

The people from Zhai Xing Pavilion and those from Suspended King Hall wore expressions hard to put into words.

On one hand they regretted that Ye Qingran hadn't been killed by the Dead Spirit; on the other, they were relieved that she saved them with the Chaotic Azure Lotus.

"Ye Qingran, on behalf of Suspended King Hall, I express our gratitude to you."

Xuan Wang Dian Master Liu Jin bowed to Ye Qingran; this attitude surprised many, knowing that Liu Jin had just intended to sacrifice Ye Qingran's blood, so such a shift seemed excessive.

"However, the Chaos Qing Lian Seed was found by our Suspended King Hall ancestors, but later lost; we've been searching for years without result, never expecting it to be with you."

"What?"

The crowd was stunned.

Liu Jin said the Chaotic Azure Lotus belongs to Suspended King Hall?

"If you don't believe, I have evidence, but it's all in Suspended King Hall. How about this: hand the Chaotic Azure Lotus to me, then come with me to Suspended King Hall, and I'll show you the proof."

Liu Jin wore a gentle smile.

The Chaotic Azure Lotus!

Know that this is an Ancient Divine Object; besides endless life force, it has tremendous medicinal value, and with the Chaos Qing Lian Seed, the quality of refined pills can be greatly enhanced!

How could he not covet it?

The crowd fell silent; how had they never heard of any link between Suspended King Hall and the Chaotic Azure Lotus?

"Is that so?" Ye Qingran stored the Chaotic Azure Lotus into Shen Nong Space, returned to the ground, and stared at Liu Jin with a half‑smile.

"I'll give you the Chaotic Azure Lotus, then follow you back to Suspended King Hall, and you kill me; the Lotus will naturally become yours, belonging to Suspended King Hall, right?"

The smile on Liu Jin's face faded, "Ye Qingran, are you misunderstanding something?" he forced a fake laugh.

"Ye Qingran, what do you mean? Aren't you planning to return the Chaotic Azure Lotus to our Suspended King Hall?"

Liu Chenyu stepped forward a few paces, his face sour and cutting.

"It was never yours to begin with; why speak of returning it?"

Liu Chenyu, enraged, said, "Our Suspended King Hall records that the Chaos Qing Lian Seed was unintentionally discovered by our ancestors, later lost; I now seriously suspect it was stolen by your ancestors!"

"Oh! So that's it! Your ancestors are thieves, always stealing others' belongings!"

Snap~

Ye Qingran, adhering to her principle of acting without hesitation, slapped Liu Chenyu's delicate cheek.

Ye Qingran's speed was too swift; Liu Chenyu couldn't react and took the heavy slap.

"How dare you hit me?!"

I not only dare to hit you—if you dare say another word I don't want to hear, believe it or not, I'll make this the end of your life!

Liu Chenyu shuddered, not daring to utter another word!

Tsk tsk, the Suspended King Hall is truly shameless!

Who says it's not? They actually have the cheek to say the Chaotic Azure Lotus belongs to them—I'm really embarrassed...

Your skin isn't as thick as a city wall—you couldn't possibly say something like that, could you?

Even now, do people still not see that the Suspended King Hall is lying? They're simply coveting the Chaos Qing Lian Seed, wanting to seize it for themselves.

Oh, I remember—just now you wanted to use my blood for a blood mark, didn't you?

Ye Qingran looked at Ye Wen and Liu Jin with an ambiguous smile.

So what if it is? In emergencies we act expediently; you have the highest talent, so picking you is only natural, right?

Ye Qingran gave a slight nod, "Oh..."

As she spoke, she pointed to the fissure that still remained; below it, Dead Qi still lingered, merely held in check by the Chaotic Azure Lotus and not daring to surface.

Conveniently, I know a bit about formations; the seal that contains Dead Qi needs repair, and it just happens to require the blood of two Human Emperors—I think you two are the perfect fit.

What?

Human Emperor's blood?

Ye Qingran, you're doing this on purpose!

No, it's not—using Human Emperor's blood in a blood sacrifice to strengthen the seal isn't that unusual? You two aren't unaware of that, are you?

The expressions of Ye Wen and Liu Jin both turned grim.

What Ye Qingran said is correct.

But how could they possibly agree?

Why aren't you two speaking? Just now, when you urged me to sacrifice my own blood, you weren't like this!

Ye Qingran snorted derisively.

What, other people's lives don't count, only yours does?

Her expression gradually turned cold.

If it weren't that their demise would upset the balance of the Floating Life Realm, she would have just tossed them into the fissure to feed the Dead Qi!

At that moment, the earth suddenly shuddered again, and the hearts that had just sunk leapt up to their throats.
