"I, Ye Luo, am blessed with great fortune, how could I possibly die just like that? As for Uncle Nie, the conflict between you and the Second Elder..." Ye Luo’s gaze shifted toward the Second Elder standing nearby.
"The grudge between and the Second Elder has been resolved, but I have you to thank for that. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be seeing now," Nie Yuntian said with a smile.
"Brother Ye Luo, you’re finally back. What exactly happened in the valley?" Miao Chang’an looked at Ye Luo, his face full of confusion.
Both the Grand Elder and the Second Elder turned their eyes to Ye Luo, and at that mont, the two Elders of the Forbidden Land ca out and looked at Ye Luo as well.
"I don’t know either. After you all left, that mysterious woman had and the berserk bear enter the Blood Demon Pool to absorb the energy within," Ye Luo began.
The two Elders of the Forbidden Land expressed shock, "You absorbed the energy within the Blood Demon Pool?"
"Mhm." Ye Luo nodded.
The two Elders of the Forbidden Land exchanged glances, their eyes flickering.
"Later, we stayed in the Blood Demon Pool absorbing the energy. We only ca out today and found that the entire valley had been destroyed. It must have been the work of a powerful expert, but I have no idea who," Ye Luo explained simply.
"So, you’ve absorbed the energy from the Blood Demon Pool. No wonder both of your auras have beco so strong. This one must have broken through to the Saint Realm, and even reached the Second Level of the Saint Realm," the two Elders of the Forbidden Land remarked, glancing at the berserk bear.
At that mont, Ye Luo activated his Clairvoyant Eye and took a quick glance at the several people before him, and their power levels appeared in his mind.
Miao Chang’an was at the Third Level of the Saint Realm, the Second Elder was at the Second Level of the Saint Realm, as for the Grand Elder, he wielded the power of the Fifth Level of the Saint Realm, and both Elders of the Forbidden Land had reached the Seventh Level of the Saint Realm.
"Grand Elder, what realm have you reached now?" Ye Luo asked, looking at the Grand Elder.
"The Fifth Level of the Saint Realm," the Grand Elder said calmly, and Ye Luo silently noted to himself, as expected.
His Clairvoyant Eye indeed could accurately determine the realm of experts. Previously, he judged others’ realms based on their auras. If he used his Clairvoyant Eye, he could instantly know their level of cultivation, but he did not know the limit of what the Clairvoyant Eye could detect in terms of realms.
However, apart from these experts, he hadn’t yet encountered any other masters to test it on.
"By the way, Clan Leader, this Miao Knife should be the weapon once held by your ancestors, right?"
Imdiately, Ye Luo took the Miao Knife he carried on him and handed it straight over to Miao Chang’an.
"Indeed, it’s the personal weapon of the ancestors." Miao Chang’an looked at the black curved knife before him, his expression revealing a hint of excitent, followed by a look of reverence as he reached out to grasp the Miao Knife.
But the mont Miao Chang’an touched the Miao Knife, he felt an incredibly wild energy surge out from it, shaking his body and forcing him to step back repeatedly, his hand trembling.
"The energy within this Miao Knife is so powerful!" Miao Chang’an exclaid in shock.
"The Miao Knife, being a weapon held by our ancestors, is imbued with spirituality and is no ordinary weapon. Most people simply cannot wield it. Since you hold this weapon in your hand, it proves that it’s fated to be with you,"
one of the Elders of the Forbidden Land said, looking directly at Ye Luo.
"But I already have a weapon, I really can’t make use of this one," Ye Luo spoke.
"Since that’s the case, then just keep this Miao Knife with you, and you can pass it on to its next master. Leaving it with us would only let this once splendid weapon collect dust and lose its luster," another Forbidden Land Elder said as well.
And with the two highest-ranking elders in the Miao Tribe saying so, Miao Chang’an and the others naturally had nothing more to say, and they all expressed their agreent.
"Alright, I will definitely find a good master for this Miao Knife; I won’t let it disappoint you," Ye Luo said, nodding as he held the Miao Knife.
"By the way, Elders, there is sothing I’d like to learn from you," Ye Luo suddenly said, sothing occurring to him.
In a room within the Miao Village, Ye Luo sat together with the two Forbidden Land Elders.
"Young brother, do you want to know about the Blood Demon Pool?" the two Forbidden Land Elders asked directly, looking at Ye Luo.
"Exactly, what’s all this about?"
Ye Luo was indeed very puzzled by all this—the group from the Blood Wolf organization, who were they exactly? They certainly weren’t just so simple assassin organization. And what was that Blood Demon Cave all about? All of this was highly confusing to him.
"Actually, this matter is quite complicated to explain. You should know about Hidden Sects, right?"
"I do. Are the people from the Blood Wolf organization from the Hidden Sects?" Ye Luo asked.
"The Blood Wolf organization? That’s not their true identity. Those people are actually from one of the four great Demonic Path forces of the Hidden Sects: the Blood Demon Sect," the Forbidden Land Elder said gravely.
"The Blood Demon Sect? The four great Demonic Path forces?"
Ye Luo was full of astonishnt, facing even more questions now.
"Our Miao Tribe has been secluded here for a thousand years, so we don’t know much about the Hidden Sects. These four great Demonic Path forces have existed for a thousand years: the Blood Demon Sect, Evil Sect, Demon Palace, and Corpse King Palace—these are the powers."
"The people from these four forces are incredibly brutal and bloodthirsty; they kill without blinking and are called Demonic Path forces. They face resistance from the other forces of the Hidden Sects, but these four Demonic Path forces are so powerful that the other Hidden Sects cannot do anything about them."
Listening to the Forbidden Land Elder, Ye Luo gradually began to understand the grandeur of the Hidden Sects, sothing he could scarcely imagine.
"A thousand years ago, these four Demonic Path forces plunged Huaxia into utter misery. The various Hidden Sects united under the call of the Dragon Pavilion to wage a great war against these four Demonic Path forces. Eventually, outnumbered, these forces suffered heavy losses and completely vanished."
"And that ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect, the Blood Demon Elder, ca to Miaojiang with severe injuries, established that Blood Demon Cave, and released all his essence blood to form the Blood Demon Pool, waiting for later generations to absorb the energy from the Blood Demon Pool."
"Later, our Miao Tribe’s ancestors found out, used their own strength along with the power of the Miao Knife to seal and suppress the Blood Demon Pool, and also issued a command for our Miao Tribe to guard the Blood Demon Cave generation after generation to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Blood Demon Sect. Little did we expect that they would still find their way here, but thankfully, that mysterious woman appeared—it turned out to be a windfall for you and your brother."
The two Forbidden Land Elders revealed a strange smile as they looked at Ye Luo.
Ye Luo laughed awkwardly and said, "Now it seems that the Blood Demon Sect has transford into Blood Wolves and is secretly hiding in this world, apparently seeking to revive."
"That’s right; the four great Demonic Path forces were incredibly powerful back then. Even though they suffered heavy losses, they were not completely eradicated. After recuperating for so long, they naturally wouldn’t continue to hide away."
