Chapter 4903: The Bloodshadow Clan’s Major Move

The Soul-Severing Ruins are located in the southwestern corner of the Bloodlight Realm. It is the most dangerous place in the Bloodlight Realm, filled with numerous restrictions, where even God Transformation cultivators risk perishing.

Within the Soul-Severing Ruins, in an endless crimson bamboo forest, a massive golden firelight shot into the sky, highly conspicuous. The ground shook violently, and countless crimson bamboo stalks were uprooted and flung high into the air by a powerful wave of energy.

Wang Xiao naturally understood the importance of knowing one's place. Wang Ruyan spoke, "Your cultivation level is no longer low. I plan to give you a mission: to go overseas and find the Lizard Race. Do you dare?"

Wang Xiao said solemnly, "As long as the Mistress commands, your subordinate will not shrink from any danger." He readily agreed, "Yes, your subordinate obeys your command."

This was also a test for Wang Xiao. Wang Tun tian and others had proven their abilities. If Wang Xiao's capabilities were too poor, Wang Ruyan naturally wouldn't provide him with too many resources, as it would be a waste. Wang Xiao was reclusive and usually appeared with a disguised face. If he went into hiding overseas, he wouldn't need to worry about being recognized. Furthermore, the Wang family had few spies overseas, and their cultivation levels were generally not high, with only Wang Yongyue being somewhat better. The intelligence they gathered was of limited value. As Wang Xiao was at the late stage of Void Refinement and relatively strong, it was suitable to send him overseas to gather information.

Wang Ruyan summoned Wang Moshan, instructing him to escort Wang Xiao off Qinglian Island and provide intelligence on foreign races overseas, to help Wang Xiao integrate into their circles. Wang Xiao could disguise himself as a survivor of the Golden Roc clan, but his ability to infiltrate the foreign race circles would depend on his own capabilities.

Wang Pinzhen and others flew over. Wang Pinji asked, "How is it? Have you found any useful information?"

Wang Pinbai said with a frown, "The Bloodshadow Race has actually controlled twenty-seven lower realms, and they newly controlled nineteen of them within ten thousand years! They killed many cultivators and collected their vital essence, seemingly to refine some treasure!"

An elder of the clan proposed, "The Bloodshadow Race lost five God Transformation cultivators, and three more remain at their lair. Should we go wipe out their lair?" This was the best time to deal with the Bloodshadow Race of the Bloodlight Realm, a chance not to be missed.

Wang Pinzhen thought for a moment and said, "Let's send the Good Fortune Divine Water back to the East籬 Realm first. It won't be too late to come back and destroy the Bloodshadow Race next time." If anything happened to the Seven Gourd Vine, obtaining any more treasures would be useless. They left the Soul-Severing Ruins and returned to the East篱 Realm.

In the Profound Yang Realm, on Qinglian Island, at a secluded manor on Qinglian Peak, Wang Ruyan was guiding Wang Yuanwei in her cultivation. Wang Yuanwei was currently at the late stage of Void Refinement, one of the few high-level sound cultivators in the Wang family.

Wang Ruyan took out a blue communication disk, cast a spell into it, frowned, and instructed, "Dushan, bring them here!"

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Moshan's voice came from the communication disk, and Wang Yuanwei discreetly withdrew.

Soon after, Wang Moshan, Wang Pinbai, and Li Yuxin appeared before Wang Ruyan. "Greetings, Ancestor!" Wang Pinbai and Li Yuxin hurriedly bowed.

Wang Ruyan then asked, "Has the Seven Gourd Vine's growth recovered?"

"With the Good Fortune Divine Water, it's much better," Wang Pinbai suggested, "but the Divine Water will eventually run out. Brother Pinzhen suggested bringing the Seven Gourd Vine up here?"

"No," Wang Ruyan's attitude was firm. "Without our command, no one is to move the Seven Gourd Vine." Over the years, three clan members had perished due to realm storms while ascending. Even with the Flying Spirit Array, there was still a certain risk for clan members ascending from the East篱 Realm to the Profound Yang Realm. Given the value of the Seven Gourd Vine, they absolutely could not take that risk.

"That's what we thought too," Wang Pinbai quickly explained. "Brother Pinzhen merely made a suggestion. Ancestor, rest assured, he wouldn't dare move the Seven Gourd Vine without orders."

"What's going on with the Bloodlight Realm? Tell me in detail," Wang Ruyan continued to ask.

Wang Pinbai dared not conceal anything and recounted everything.

"What? The Bloodshadow Race controls twenty-seven lower realms, and they newly controlled nineteen realms within ten thousand years! Killing high-level cultivators to refine their vital essence—what are they trying to do?!" Wang Ruyan said, puzzled.

"We're not sure. We originally planned to wipe out the Bloodshadow Race in the Bloodlight Realm," Wang Pinbai explained, "but Brother Pinzhen said the Seven Gourd Vine's safety was paramount, so we returned to the East篱 Realm first."

"I understand. I will send people to handle this matter. You all did very well. Moshan, take them and arrange their accommodation properly," Wang Ruyan instructed.

Wang Moshan acknowledged and led them away.

"The Bloodshadow Race controls so many lower realms and has killed so many cultivators. Are they trying to emulate the Lizard Race by setting up some grand formation?" Wang Ruyan murmured to herself, her face full of confusion. The Bloodshadow Race was one of the seven great clans of the Profound Light Continent, with Grand Ascension cultivators guarding them. She truly did not want to provoke them unnecessarily. The Profound Light Continent was too far from the Profound Spirit Continent. Being targeted by the Bloodshadow Race would be a significant problem. The Lizard Race was different; they had always been archenemies with the human race.

Wang Ruyan pondered for a moment, then instructed Wang Moshan to notify the clan members in the lower realms to heighten their vigilance, strictly guard against Bloodshadow Race cultivators, and ensure the Seven Gourd Vine's protection.

Having done all this, Wang Ruyan entered a secret chamber, sat down cross-legged, took out talisman-making materials, and began to craft talismans. There were not many seventh-tier talismans left in the family treasury. She planned to refine more so that clan members on important missions could apply for one to carry, increasing their survival rate.

Wang Pinbai flew over from a distance, his face pale, with a horrifying bloodied hole in his left shoulder. A miniature Nascent Soul flew out of the body and was immediately captured by Wang Pinbai, who then performed soul-searching on it.

Wang Pinzhen personally led the team, using a realm-breaking treasure to open a realm passage. Twenty God Transformation cultivators entered the Bloodlight Realm. They avoided other cultivators and infiltrated the Soul-Severing Ruins to search for the Good Fortune Divine Water. The Bloodshadow Race was also searching for the Good Fortune Divine Water and had obtained it first. On their way out, they encountered Wang Pinzhen and his group, leading to a major confrontation between the two sides.

The moment the blood-robed elder appeared, the void above him rippled, and a large golden, indistinct hand materialized out of thin air, striking the blood-robed elder. The blood-robed elder quickly plummeted towards the ground. Thick, green vines burst from the earth, coiling around his body. He opened his mouth and spewed a pungent, blood-colored flame, incinerating the green vines.

A golden light flashed, and a gleaming golden giant brick appeared out of nowhere. A powerful gravitational force enveloped the area. Just as the blood-robed elder was about to evade, a man's loud roar echoed, and he instantly felt dizzy and disoriented as the golden brick smashed down. With a loud crash, the ground shook violently. A burst of blood-colored light flared high in the sky, transforming into a pale-faced, blood-robed elder, his left arm gone, his eyes filled with terror.

The Bloodshadow Race had five God Transformation cultivators, whose divine abilities were considerable, and who had mastered several powerful secret arts. After a fierce battle, the Wang family sustained one severe injury before successfully eliminating the five Bloodshadow Race God Transformation cultivators. It was fortunate their numbers far exceeded those of the Bloodshadow Race, otherwise, their losses would have been even greater.
