Chapter 1045: The Nine Heaven Pixiu’s Bloodline

Realizing that Senior Brother Chen might get angry, everyone hurriedly bowed in respect.

"We greet the two Martial Aunt and Martial Uncle," Hong Li said, his voice filled with excitement as he saluted.

He had finally realized who the two Martial Uncle and Martial Aunt were. While he didn’t know much about Martial Aunt, he did recognize Martial Uncle—one of the legendary disciples of Master Lian, a peerless prodigy who had struck fear into the hearts of other geniuses on the Path of All Immortals. This was his idol!

Amalia’s gaze suddenly shifted toward a specific direction.

Everyone had been watching her closely and instinctively followed her gaze. What they saw was Daegang Zhang turning tail and fleeing. His remaining companion hadn’t even reacted as quickly as he did.

Before anyone could process what was happening, a flash of sword light sliced through the air, penetrating Daegang Zhang’s defenses effortlessly.

Daegang Zhang was dead, his death swift and decisive, leaving him with no chance to resist.

The last remaining companion, Pyeongri Nam, collapsed onto the ground, his mind reeling with one thought: Daegang Zhang is dead.

Why didn’t those two people even ask a single question?

"It’s over, it’s all over," he muttered.

Everyone around heard his mumbling. Of course, it was over—he and his companions had tried to extort the friend of a Martial Aunt. What did they expect?

Their gazes shifted toward the two Martial Aunt and Martial Uncle, unsure how they would deal with the remaining person.

Suddenly, Zhar’khaen dashed forward, grabbing Amalia and dragging her in the direction of the Devil Battlefield.

"There’s no time. I’ll explain on the way," he said, cutting off any questions Amalia might have asked.

"Huh? They just left like that?" The people left behind were dumbfounded.

"Stop staring. They must have urgent business, or they wouldn’t have come all the way to the Green Lotus Sect just to find our Martial Aunt," Gaon Chen said calmly.

"So what do we do about this situation now?" Hong Li asked, glancing at the two dead bodies and the one still living.

Gaon Chen took a glance at the corpses killed by the Martial Uncle and Martial Aunt’ sword and blade. When his eyes fell on Daegang Zhang’s body, he suddenly let out a surprised noise. Before he could say anything, the living Pyeongri Nam sprang to his feet as if he’d been burned.

"You’re done for! You’re all done for! Daegang was the sole descendant of my ancestor, and now he’s dead at the hands of your Martial Aunt and Martial Uncle! My ancestor will never let this go!"

With his threatening companions gone, Pyeongri Nam’s courage surged.

"And who are you?" Gaon Chenu asked, turning to him.

"Daegang Zhang was my brother," Pyeongri Nam growled fiercely, repeating, "I’ll make sure my ancestor hears of this. He’ll never let you off the hook!"

"Who gave you the audacity to act so brazenly before the gates of the Green Lotus Sect?"

The disciples’ irritation was palpable. After all, it was these outsiders who attempted to kill and steal, only to be outmatched. And now, they had the gall to blame their Martial Aunt and Martial Uncle? Absurd.

Pyeongri Nam, despite being at the peak of the Soul Formation stage, felt his courage falter under the sharp gazes of so many disciples. He took a few steps back, throwing out a final threat: "If you dare, don’t run. I’ll fetch my ancestor right now!"

With that, he turned around and bolted.

"That guy is clearly no good. I’d like to see if his so-called ancestor could stand against our Master Lian," one disciple scoffed.

None of them took Pyeongri Nam’s words seriously.

Gaon Chen, however, wore a somber expression. His earlier suspicions were now confirmed by Pyeongri Nam’s words.

This situation was troublesome. No wonder Daegang Zhang, someone who killed and plundered without remorse, had dared to chase his prey all the way to the Green Lotus Sect’s gates—he had a powerful backer.

...

As they traveled, Zhar’khaen had already given Amalia a brief explanation of the crisis they currently faced.

Hearing that Wealth was safe for the moment, Amalia finally relaxed a little.

"You said Wealth has been inside the Pixiu’s inheritance ground for two months? When you underwent inheritance, was it this long?"

Zhar’khaen shook his head. "No. When Gor’kan and I entered the inheritance ground, we were out in just a few days."

"Is that typical for most Pixiu?"

"Indeed. The fact that the Young Master has remained inside for so long likely has to do with his unique bloodline—it’s different from ours."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Back at Silent Echo Valley, we should’ve realized something was off. If the Young Master were a hybrid with Pixiu blood, and before his bloodline was fully awakened, we wouldn’t have been able to sense it so distinctly."

"I recall my master mentioning that Wealth’s Pixiu bloodline was very thin," Amalia said thoughtfully.

"That’s correct. The Pixiu bloodline is thin because what flows in the Young Master’s veins isn’t merely that—it’s the bloodline of the ancient divine beast, the Nine Heaven Pixiu!"

Even Zhar’khaen grew visibly excited as he spoke.

When they had first discovered this truth, the three of them had been overjoyed.

"The Nine Heaven Pixiu’s bloodline, before full awakening, is indistinguishable from that of a regular Pixiu. That’s why we didn’t notice at first. But the Nine Heaven Pixiu’s bloodline reigns supreme over the Pixiu—after all, the latter are its descendants. A pure-blooded Nine Heaven Pixiu naturally exerts a magnetic pull on Pixiu ."

Amalia’s curiosity deepened. "How did you confirm that Wealth has a pure Nine Heaven Pixiu bloodline?"

Zhar’khaen steadied himself before continuing. "It’s because of the inheritance ground. The forbidden area’s inheritance ground was left behind from ancient times. When the bloodline of a Nine Heaven Pixiu come out, it triggers some kind of a resonance. When we brought the Young Master back, the inheritance ground began to exhibit strange phenomena."
