Chapter 173: Blood Curse Rations

"Not good, they have used a space compression divine ability."

After the six people of the feminine man stepped onto that white tail, in the blink of an eye, they teleported from above the military formation to the giant platform in the distance, and soon, they disappeared from the sight of Baili Changfeng's group.

As for the male cultivator who condensed the white tail, because there was a restriction against flying above the military formation, and he didn't avoid the attack of the soldiers, he was pierced by the long spear in the hands of the soldiers and exploded to death, turning into blood foam.

Hua Changxi saw it clearly. Excluding the restriction above the military formation, that male cultivator should have been forcing the use of the divine ability, causing his physical body to be unable to bear it. Even if he hadn't been attacked by the soldiers, his body was already cracking.

Demon Clan attendants... it seems they are all people who have obtained the bloodline atavism divine ability.

Hua Changxi thought of Xu Ling, thought of A-Niu, thought of the lotus totem of the Hua family, and the servants with bloodline totems she had previously illuminated with the totem golden bowl. These people were not special; they were just people she had come into contact with, but seeing it now, there were quite a few people who possessed bloodline atavism.

If there were Demon Clan members who mastered the means of stimulating human bloodline atavism, wouldn't the Demon Clan be able to recruit many human attendants?

You know, there was a medicinal bath prescription for stimulating human bloodline atavism in the No. 7 Qihuang Pavilion.

"The people from the Demon Clan have entered the center of the array eye. We must hurry over to stop them; we cannot let them destroy the array eye."

Baili Changfeng was very anxious and accelerated his pace of breaking through the formation. Because the speed was too fast, he made mistakes several times. If it weren't for Hua Changxi taking action in time, the master and his two disciples would have been trapped in the changing soldier formation.

Outside the military formation, Liu Chengxiong and Young Master Gu's group also saw the six people of the feminine man ascend to the high platform.

Liu Chengxiong's expression didn't change much; it seemed he wasn't anxious about those six people destroying the array eye.

He wasn't anxious, but Young Master Gu was very anxious.

Although it was easier to seize resources and rise in chaos, this didn't mean that the more chaotic, the better.

Jinfan had said that the Demon Clan wanted to compete with the Human Clan for the dominance of the human world. In ancient times, the Human Clan paid a heavy price to force the Demon Clan back to Jiuyou and specifically built the Demon Prison to imprison those vicious Demon Clan members.

Now that both Jiuyou and the human world were recovering spiritual energy, once the Demon Clan seized the initiative, it might lead to the Demon Clan returning to the human world.

Although Young Master Gu wanted to strengthen the power of the Duke of Xin's Prefecture, he also knew that it didn't matter how the internal power struggle of the Human Clan went, but the Demon Clan must absolutely not be allowed to suppress the Human Clan.

The demonic energy in the Demon Prison was all formed by the death of ancient great demons, and its erosive power was incomparably strong. Once demonic energy leaked, the human world would be polluted by demonic energy, and the Human Clan would easily be demonized.

Young Master Gu had traveled back and forth to Qianmen Fort many times during this period. One reason was to understand the situation of Qianmen Fort and prepare for the Duke of Xin's Prefecture to take over Qianmen Fort in the future; the second was to urge Liu Chengxiong to guard Qianmen Fort well and prevent anyone from destroying the array eye.

Jinfan possessed the ability of precognition and could foresee some things that would happen in the future.

A few months ago, Jinfan had notified the family, telling them that Qianmen Fort might have trouble, leading to an unstable array eye and leaking demonic energy.

During this period, he approached Liu Chengxiong under the guise of cooperation. Nothing happened after several visits, and he originally thought Jinfan had predicted wrong this time, but he didn't expect to really encounter people from the Demon Clan sneaking in to destroy the array eye.

Young Master Gu looked at Liu Chengxiong, who was not anxious at all, and felt very ashamed in his heart.

Liu Chengxiong wanted to find a suitable physical body in secret because his primordial spirit was about to dissipate; he could understand that, but the duty of the Demon-Suppressing Guards was to guard the safety of the array eye. He didn't even care about this point; he was truly unworthy of being the highest commander of Qianmen Fort.

"General Liu, people from the Demon Clan have sneaked into the center of the array eye. Do we really not need to manage it?"

Liu Chengxiong glanced sideways at Young Master Gu: "How does Young Master Gu want to manage it? Enter the center of the array eye to stop those few Demon Clan people? If the Young Master thinks so, I can allow you to take people into the array eye to stop them. How about that?"

Hearing this, Young Master Gu didn't speak.

Seeing this, Liu Chengxiong snorted in his heart. He hated these people who only knew how to move their lips but didn't take any actual action, yet tried to use etiquette and morality to persuade others to charge into battle.

If it weren't for the worry of not being able to capture that hidden Nascent Soul cultivator and possibly needing the Duke of Xin's Prefecture in the future, just because Young Master Gu knew about today's incident, he should have gotten rid of him.

On the other side, Hua Changxi followed behind Baili Changfeng's master and disciples, walking arduously through the military formation. They had been in the military formation for a while, but the giant platform that looked like a volcanic pile in front of them, although it didn't look far, was actually a bit of a "look at the mountain and run the horse to death" situation.

Moreover, the deeper they went into the military formation, the more turbid the air became, and the air carried a kind of gas that made people very uncomfortable.

Hua Changxi looked at the giant platform, the array eye of the Demon Prison, and guessed that the gas in the air should be demonic energy.

"Master, Xiaoxue is having trouble breathing."

Baili Changfeng looked at his disciple whose face was flushed, and quickly took out four spiritual talismans: "This is a demon-repelling cover, which can isolate the demonic energy in the air."

The master and his two disciples used three, and Baili Changfeng raised the remaining one: "Fellow Daoist, the demonic energy in the air is getting thicker and thicker. Although you have powerful strength, it is good to consume less spiritual power."

Hua Changxi used spiritual power to take the spiritual talisman: "Many thanks."

The crisp, young female voice made the master and his two disciples stunned.

All three of them thought that the Nascent Soul stage cultivator in the shadows was an older male cultivator; they never expected it to be a woman, and that her voice would be so young.

After the four people applied the spiritual talismans, moving forward became much easier.

"Ah—"

A scream suddenly came from behind.

Hua Changxi turned her head to look and found it was Eunuch Lin's group.

At this moment, two eunuchs from the Eastern Depot were running around crazily in the military formation. On their faces, one was covered with black snake scales, and the other was covered with golden fluff.

"Master, what happened to them?"

Baili Changfeng sighed: "They inhaled too much demonic energy and were demonized."

This answer shocked Hua Changxi, and she couldn't help but speak: "Will inhaling too much demonic energy lead to demonization?"

Baili Changfeng didn't expect Hua Changxi to speak. He had wanted to make friends with this person, so he explained: "The bloodlines of those two should have signs of atavism. After being eroded by demonic energy, the speed of demonization will be accelerated."

Hua Changxi frowned: "In that case, bloodline atavism is not necessarily a good thing?"

Baili Changfeng sneered: "Fellow Daoist, do you think the Human Clan was able to obtain the divine abilities of the Demon Clan? Was the Demon Clan really so kind as to bestow their divine abilities on the Human Clan to allow the Human Clan to develop and grow?"

"Before ancient times, the great demons of the Demon Clan occupied land and became kings everywhere, and the Human Clan was just the rations they kept. The so-called bestowed divine abilities were just blood curses imposed on the Human Clan by the Demon Clan, so that other Demon Clan members would know that these humans were its rations and not to covet them."

"It was only later that the outstanding people of the Human Clan realized the offensive power in the blood curse, which then evolved into the bloodline divine abilities we talk about today."

"For example, a family of people might all possess some kind of bloodline atavism, but those who can perform the divine ability are only those outstanding people who can comprehend the corresponding blood curse."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi thought of herself, thought of the Hua family.

The fire lotus divine ability she obtained was because she took the Liuguang Red Lotus. The Hua family all illuminated the lotus totem, but she hadn't found anyone who could perform the corresponding lotus divine ability yet.

So that's how bloodline divine abilities came about! ===== CHAPTER 174 =====
