876 The Truth About the Forbidden Area

Qing Yan swallowed his saliva in fear. That scene was too terrifying. He felt his hands and feet go numb even when he thought about it.

Yu Wan had rarely seen him like this. He seemed to have returned to the time when he first met Asura. The difference was that Asura brought fear and suppression to people with his strength. This time, Qing Yan and the others could come out alive. At least, it meant that they had not been discovered. Since they had not been discovered and were not attacked, what was Qing Yan afraid of?

Yu Wan’s heart could not help but skip a beat. Seeing that Qing Yan’s face was pale and he could not speak, she turned to look at Yue Gou. “Did you see that too?”

Yue Gou clenched his fists imperceptibly and slowly shook his head. “Qing Yan didn’t let me see it.”

At that time, in order to scout the way, they hid Grandma and Old Cui in a tree hole. The two of them accidentally entered the Sang family’s forbidden area. Of course, at that time, they did not know that it was a forbidden area. It was only after Yan Jiuchao asked and they described it that Yan Jiuchao deduced that it was the Sang family’s forbidden area.

Qing Yan’s five senses were naturally sharp. The moment he entered the forbidden area, he smelled a thick smell of blood. Then, he saw a pool of blood. It was not that it was motionless. There seemed to be something slowly swimming in the pool, causing the smell of blood in the pool to become even thicker.

Qing Yan instinctively felt danger and covered Yue Gou’s eyes.

After that…

Qing Yan saw two people, a man and a woman.

“A man and a woman?” Yu Wan paused thoughtfully. “Master Sang and the Saintess?”

“I don’t know that man, but that woman… should be the Saintess,” Qing Yan said reminiscently. “I thought it was you at first glance when she had your face, but her figure and tone didn’t look like you, so I thought of the Saintess who was pretending to be you. After that, the man did admit to her identity as the Saintess, but…”

“What’s wrong?”

“Isn’t that Saintess of the Lan family the green-clothed Saintess? But I heard that man address her as the Purple-clothed Saintess.”

“Oh? How did this happen?” Yu Wan was stunned.

Grandma, who had been silent all this while, said, “Maybe the Sang family used some medicine to forcefully increase her bloodline power.”

Yu Wan blinked. “You can do that?”

“It will shorten one’s lifespan,” Grandma said. “And it will make it impossible for one to give birth.”

Yu Wan frowned. “If the bloodline of the Saintess can’t be passed down, then it’s useless no matter how powerful she becomes. Why is she so stupid?”

Qing Yan thought for a while. “Maybe… the Sang family didn’t tell her the stakes. No, they definitely didn’t tell her.”

Qing Yan thought of the conversation he had heard in the cave.

“How much longer do we have to walk?”

“Soon.”

“It smells too bad. What do you want to show me? Take it out directly. I don’t want to go in anymore!”

“How can you not go in? Do you know what’s below? I originally planned to feed it with the Saint King, but unfortunately, I didn’t catch it. I think the Purple-clothed Saintess is not bad.”

These were the words of the Saintess and that man. Qing Yan remembered them without missing a word. Qing Yan looked at Yu Wan and then at her stomach. He hesitated.

Yan Jiuchao glanced at Qing Yan and said to Yu Wan, “Xiaobao is calling you.”

“Really?” Yu Wan stood up strangely. “I’ll go take a look.”

Yu Wan was sent away. It was not that they sincerely wanted to hide it from her, but she was pregnant. If they told her that her child was being targeted by such a terrifying evil creature, she would definitely be worried. Of course, more importantly, she had always thought that she was the strongest saintess in the history of the Lan family. They really could not bear to expose the truth and tell her.

Qing Yan told them everything he had heard in the cave.

From this arrogant tone, it was undoubtedly Lan Ji. From Qing Yan’s description of his appearance and temperament, Yan Jiuchao was certain that the other man was Master Sang.

The Saintess was unwilling to accept the Sikong family’s judgment and did not hesitate to injure the disciples of the Chaoyang Hall to escape from the dungeon. She thought that she had a chance to turn the tables when she found the Sang family, but she did not know that she had jumped into a tiger’s den from a wolf’s den.

“Jiuchao, you don’t seem surprised. Did you guess it long ago?” Qing Yan looked at Yan Jiuchao and said.

“I guessed a little,” Yan Jiuchao said.

When they encountered the Yin Gu in the Sang Manor’s passageway, he and Yu Wan had already felt a very thick smell of blood. At first, he thought that it was the aura of the Yin Gu, but when he really held the Yin Gu in his hand, he realized that the Yin Gu itself did not have any blood energy.

Then, the Nether Mountain was assassinated by the Sang family’s experts.

At the critical juncture, all the experts surged towards his and Yu Wan’s room. Others thought that they were going to assassinate him, but only he understood that they were here for the fetus in Yu Wan’s stomach. And the conversation between Master Sang and the Saintess just now confirmed this guess.

The Saintess and the Saint King were from the same lineage. Since he could not catch the Saint King, it was also good to have the Saintess fall into his trap. Yan Jiuchao guessed that the Saintess would not have a good time if she went, so he did not let Master Sikong take the risk of being attacked by the Sang family to chase after her.

There were pros and cons to this. The drawback was that the evil thing had obtained the blood of the Saintess and would definitely become stronger than before. The advantage was that it had obtained the blood of the Saintess and would not have any ideas about the Saint King for the time being.

Qing Yan was enlightened. If it were him, he would definitely only care about not letting that evil thing grow stronger and chase the Saintess back. However, the consequences of chasing her back were unimaginable. The Sang family would definitely come to capture the Saint King again. The Nether Mountain and the Sikong family would not even have a chance to catch their breath.

“Jiuchao understands.” Qing Yan patted Yan Jiuchao’s shoulder and was rewarded with a cold gaze. He rubbed his nose resentfully and retracted his hand. He muttered, “Speaking of which, what evil thing is raised in the Sang Family’s forbidden area?”

“It’s Rakshasa,” Grandma said.

“Raksha… sa?” Qing Yan was stunned.

Grandma frowned and said, “Rakshasa were also called Yin Asuras at the beginning. They were sacrificial soldiers who were as powerful as Asuras, but more sinister and terrifying than Asuras. The cultivation techniques they cultivated were very sinister, and those who were injured by Rakshasa almost had no chance of survival. The evil thing in the Sang family’s blood pool was not an ordinary Rakshasa, but a bloodthirsty and brutal Blood Rakshasa. Blood Rakshasa was raised with the blood of ten thousand poisons. The Sang family’s Yin Gu should be one of his offerings.”

In that case, Qing Yan understood. “No wonder the Sang family didn’t hesitate to expose their strength to snatch the Yin Gu back. Unfortunately, they didn’t manage to snatch it. At this time, they discovered the Saint King again.”

Grandma nodded. “The Saint King is a better offering than the Yin Gu. If the Blood Rakshasa had the Saint King, he would be able to break through to the ninth level in one go and become Rakshasa King. At that time, no one in the Nether Capital will be his match.”

“Then what should we do?” Qing Yan asked.

Grandma said, “We have to kill him before he becomes a Rakshasa King!”

Qing Yan asked softly, “How?”

“The Longevity Technique can originally restrain the Blood Rakshasa, but that’s under the premise that there’s not much of a difference in cultivation realm. If Old Ancestor Sikong has come out of seclusion, he might be able to kill him. You guys…” Grandma couldn’t bear to give them a blow, but the Blood Rakshasa’s strength was obvious. Even though he hadn’t entered the Sang Family’s forbidden ground, he could sense the Blood Rakshasa’s strength. The difference in cultivation realm between them and the Blood Rakshasa was definitely not something that numbers and tactics could make up for.

Qing Yan lowered his head in frustration. “Can we only wait for death?”

Grandma sighed and said, “Let’s see if the Ancestor breaks through to the ninth level first or if the Blood Rakshasa becomes the Rakshasa King first.”

Once the Blood Rakshasa became a Rakshasa King, he would become an undying existence. At that time, even the Ninth Level Longevity Technique would not be able to get rid of him. Qing Yan thought about how the guy in the blood pool would become an unkillable monster one day and couldn’t help but shudder. “Grandma, who did you hear these things from?”

Grandma said, “I’ve read a lot of books from the Sikong family recently. There are records of the Blood Rakshasa.”

Qing Yan asked in distress, “Is there really no other way?”

...

“Yes,” Grandma said.

“What?” Qing Yan looked at him.

Yan Jiuchao’s eyes also flickered.

“The Sorcerer King,” Grandma said. “The Sorcerer King can kill the Rakshasa King.”

Qing Yan was dejected again. “Then forget it. We haven’t even found a sorcerer, so how can we talk about the sorcerer king? I’ll go see how the ancestor is doing. I hope he can come out of seclusion as soon as possible and kill the Blood Rakshasa before he becomes powerful!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Everyone stood up and returned to their respective rooms. Yu Wan lay on the bed and fell asleep. She was holding a longevity technique that Sikong Ye had left for her.

Yan Jiuchao gently carried Yu Wan back to the soft bed and pulled the blanket over her. Then, he took the longevity technique from her hand and flipped through it page by page.
