The Power of Blood

When the others heard this, they all looked at Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian.

“Why did the two of you… become like this?” Bai Zhou was surprised. He sized the two of them up from top to bottom. “What’s going on?”

The two of them were the most powerful among the twelve guards. To be able to injure them, everyone would inevitably be curious and shocked.

The loud bang just now made the entire villa and the ground tremble. Something unexpected must have happened.

When Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian heard this, they first looked at each other. Then, Chi Lian slowly said, “It’s the Sect Master. At the last breakthrough, a very powerful force suddenly burst out of her body.”

“That power came suddenly and fiercely. Although Yu Wuyuan and I used our defensive moves to block it at the first moment, we didn’t expect our moves to be instantly forced. The powerful impact pushed the two of us out.”

Yu Wuyuan looked at the empty top floor and said calmly, “I believe the Sect Master couldn’t control her strength just now. As everyone can see, the destructive power of that force is quite terrifying. Fortunately, Chi Lian and I reacted quickly and only suffered some light injuries. Otherwise, I don’t know what the consequences would be!”

When everyone heard their explanation, they could not help but be secretly shocked. To flatten the entire floor of the villa in an instant, they did not need to see it with their own eyes to imagine and know how terrifying the power the two of them were talking about was.

Jian Ai also remembered that in the void, she had indeed felt the power that flashed in her dantian’s sea of Qi. Just as Yu Wuyuan had guessed, the power appeared exceptionally suddenly and was not something she could control!

“Yu Wuyuan is right. I already lost control of my body at the last moment. However, the reason I could break through successfully was also because of that power. If not for the sudden appearance of that power, I’m afraid I would have suffered more!” Jian Ai said.

However, looking at Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian’s sorry appearances, Jian Ai still felt a little embarrassed. If she hadn’t lost control, they wouldn’t have become like this.

“No matter what, the Sect Master successfully advanced. They achieved the goal. Her hard work over the past few days has finally paid off,” Xiao Zhen said.

Jian Ai was stunned. The past few days?

What past few days?

How many days had it been?

Didn’t she advance from day to night?

“Wait…” Jian Ai blinked and carefully looked at them. “How many days have I advanced?”

Bai Zhou was the most tormented person in the past few days. He almost counted the time and waited, so he couldn’t wait to speak first. “Five days and seven hours!”

“What?!” Jian Ai exclaimed. “Five days?”

This… This completely exceeded Jian Ai’s expectations because others completed their advancement in a day, but she used five days and seven hours.

Was she too lousy, or was there another reason?

Because her consciousness would enter nothingness when she advanced, she could not feel the passage of time.

Seeing Jian Ai’s reaction, they couldn’t help but look at each other and shake their heads helplessly. Compared to Jian Ai, they were anxious.

Fortunately, it was a close call and nothing went wrong!

At this moment, Yu Wuyuan suddenly looked at everyone with a serious expression and said, “Everyone, let’s go downstairs first. I have something important to say.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. It was rare to see Yu Wuyuan show such an expression. Jian Ai instinctively knew that it had something to do with her. She immediately frowned. Could it be that something happened during her advancement that she did not know about?

Everyone looked at each other but didn’t know what had happened. They immediately nodded and left the top floor together.

After returning to the villa, because Jian Ai had advanced for five days, her clothes were drenched in sweat, and there was an unpleasant smell floating around. She immediately went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian were the same.

The others were waiting in the living room, guessing what made Yu Wuyuan so nervous.

Irene and Andrew sat on the sofa on the other side. Although the two of them did not understand what they were doing, they could vaguely sense some seriousness in the atmosphere.

Moreover, the two of them were already filled with questions, but neither of them asked questions because they were afraid that they would accidentally invade other people’s privacy. If it was an internal matter, it was indeed inappropriate to ask.

Especially now, they realized that the center of this group of people was the youngest Jian Ai. This was what shocked them the most.

About half an hour later, Jian Ai and the rest washed up and changed into clean clothes before coming to the living room.

Everyone was sitting or leaning against the sofa, and their gazes were on Yu Wuyuan. Bai Zhou couldn’t help but say, “Yu Wuyuan, did something abnormal happen when the Sect Master advanced?”

Everyone’s expressions were solemn because they didn’t know if Yu Wuyuan was talking about a good thing or a bad thing.

Yu Wuyuan nodded slightly. Before anyone could ask, he said, “The Sect Master inherited the ancient sect’s forbidden technique, the power of blood!”

The power of blood!

Shock appeared on everyone’s faces.

Zhi Tong whispered, “Hasn’t the power of blood long been lost? Why would the Sect Master…”

“When Lord Si Yue was severely injured back then, the Sect Master forcefully used the Blood Sacrifice after going berserk. Could it be related to this?” Chi Yang suddenly guessed.

Hearing this, everyone remembered that Jian Ai had indeed used the Blood Sacrifice when she lost control. However, as one of the top mental cultivation techniques of the ancient sect, although the Blood Sacrifice had the word ‘blood’ in its name, it had nothing to do with the power of blood!

This was also the reason no one had any reaction back then. This was because the Blood Sacrifice was not a certain move of the power of blood. It was just that there was the word ‘blood’ in the name.

However, now that Yu Wuyuan said that the Sect Master had inherited the power of blood when he thought of the previous Blood Sacrifice, he subconsciously felt that there was a connection. Or could it be that the Blood Sacrifice was of the same lineage as the power of blood, but its power had not reached the strength of the power of blood?

These were just their guesses. Most importantly, if the Sect Master had really inherited the power of blood, there was no need for them to dwell on this question now.

What they should be most worried about now was the safety of Jian Ai. The reason the ancient sect listed the power of blood as a forbidden technique was that it was too evil!
