Divine Secret Realm center.
Veronica, the Blood-colored Church, and many Alien Races all gathered here.
They did not choose to head to the two Lands of Trial within the Divine Secret Realm.
Their goal was only one...
And that was the Divine Pattern!
At this mont, the fan-shaped area in front of the Divine Pattern was empty.
The Alien Races gathered, standing in opposition to the Council and the Blood-colored Church.
However, for now, neither side chose to take action, and the situation reached a deadlock.
But the true eruption was just one spark away.
And that spark was...
The center of this fan-shaped area!
There, a Divine Pattern was slowly forming.
According to the speed at which this Divine Pattern was forming, it would be fully ford in about a day.
Within the team of the Blood-colored Church.
Cecilia respectfully approached the black-robed figure in the center.
"Blood Ancestor, Gu Xing from Longxia Country, whom you asked to monitor, has not arrived here yet!"
"I suspect he might have gone to the two Lands of Trial in the Divine Secret Realm."
A nearby Half-step Myth Level Blood Prince heard Cecilia’s voice and imdiately spoke with disdain:
"Blood Ancestor, if you leave that human to , I can definitely bring back his head as an offering to you!"
However.
In the next mont, a petite, delicate right hand pierced through this Blood Clan’s chest and grasped his heart.
The heart is the source of a Blood Clan’s power; once the heart is shattered, even a Blood Race with super strong healing ability would die.
"Blood...Blood Ancestor!"
His life was in Lilith’s hands, and his body trembled endlessly with fear.
Even though he was a Blood Prince with Demigod-like talent, in front of Lilith, he was like a child with no power to fight back.
Lilith slowly lifted the hood with her left hand, revealing silver hair like moonlight under the black robe.
Though her body was petite, her blood-red pupils carried endless majesty.
"Since when could you make decisions for ?"
Though Lilith’s voice was youthful, it caused the Blood Prince’s heart to sink to the bottom.
His body suddenly went limp, imdiately kneeling before Lilith, trembling as he replied:
"Blood...Blood Ancestor, I’m sorry! I overstepped my bounds!"
However, there was not a single ripple in Lilith’s eyes.
Her five alabaster fingers gradually tightened.
In the next mont, the Blood Prince’s heart shattered with a boom.
A scarlet aura instantly rged into her body.
The surrounding Blood Race mbers witnessed this scene as if they were accustod to it, only looking at Lilith with greater respect.
The Blood Race is different from other races.
There are no family ties within their race.
In this race, the strong are revered.
If any Blood Race mber can kill Lilith, then he or she would be the next Blood Ancestor.
Lilith’s position as Blood Ancestor was also obtained through endless slaughter.
Therefore, to her, these Blood Race mbers could not be considered family.
Unreliable, untrustworthy!
Even less so than the respectful Cecilia nearby.
At least, Cecilia wouldn’t constantly want her dead and replace her.
"Continue to stand by, if anyone else wants to act stupid, I don’t mind sending him on his way."
The remaining Blood Race mbers heard this voice, their bodies instantly quivering, imdiately responding respectfully:
"We await your command, Blood Ancestor!"
...
Soul Nourishing Pool.
At this mont, Qing Shuang and Vera had completely entered the Soul Nourishing Pool.
This also ant that their spirits were enduring inhuman tempering.
Qing Shuang’s eyes were tightly shut, her complexion pale, evidently completely lost in illusion.
At this mont.
Her consciousness was once again dragged back to that hellish day.
Torrential rain poured down, and the sky seed to be torn apart.
At the central square of the Ghost Clan’s residence, all clan mbers gathered there.
The childlike Qing Shuang and Fei Yue were confined at the center of the square by a barrier.
The gazes directed at them were filled with unparalleled disgust.
"These two sisters are simply a disgrace to the Ghost Race! When in history was there a Unicorn Ghost Race? They are an ominous sign!"
"Because of their existence, the Ghost Race was discovered by the Demon Race, and the Clan Leader’s daughter t a tragic end!"
"That’s right! Since their birth, disasters have occurred continuously!"
"Such calamities should be executed imdiately! Keeping them alive will only bring destruction to the Ghost Race!"
"Agreed, execute them!"
"Execute them!"
As the first shout rang out, the entire square boiled over.
Countless Ghost Race mbers roared in agreent, the waves of sound like knives, slicing into the young hearts of the two sisters again and again.
Fei Yue trembled all over, cowering in Qing Shuang’s arms, her frail body curled up like a ball.
"Sis...Sister, will we die?"
Her voice trembled, tinged with a sob.
Qing Shuang stared fiercely at the faces filled with malice surrounding them, her arms tightly holding onto her sister, her knuckles turning white from exertion.
She could feel Fei Yue’s body trembling with fear, her jaw clenched tightly, but her childish face was full of defiance.
"No, we won’t!" Her voice was hoarse, yet resolute as steel, "I will never let anything happen to you!"
"No matter what the cost..."
"I will make sure we leave here alive!"
On the other side of the square.
A few Ghost Race Elders looked coldly at the man kneeling in the rain.
His body was covered in scars, blood mixed with rainwater pooling into a dark red stream beneath him.
"Qing, why be so obstinate? Is it worth sacrificing your future for two naturally flawed abominations?"
"If you stand up and leave now, we assure you with the Elder Council’s authority that the position of Clan Leader is yours."
"Isn’t the entire Ghost Race more important than your two crippled daughters?"
"That’s right, Qing, as the most outstanding talent of the Ghost Race in these years, don’t ruin yourself!"
Qing kept his head bowed, rainwater dripping down his hair, unable to wash away the determination in his eyes.
"I am willing to forfeit my eligibility for Clan Leader candidacy," his voice was hoarse.
"And accept the tribe’s severe punishnt... just begging all of you, please spare Qing Shuang and Fei Yue."
"They are the last bloodline left by Fei in this world... and the only thing I have left to hold onto!"
Before his voice fell silent, he kowtowed heavily.
The stone slabs cracked under the impact, blood seeping through spiderweb-like fissures.
When Qing ntioned the na of the Clan Leader’s daughter, Fei, the faces of the Elders visibly darkened.
Since the Clan Leader lost his beloved daughter, he shut himself in his grief and no longer concerned himself with the tribe’s affairs.
However, these defective Ghost Race sisters were nonetheless the Clan Leader’s bloodline.
Actually executing them seed inappropriate.
The Elders exchanged glances, silently sharing thoughts.
Finally, the Great Elder, Cang’s father, slowly stepped forward.
"Qing, we can grant your request, but you must face the consequences you deserve."
"As a protector and as the husband of the Clan Leader’s daughter, you failed to protect her, leading to her death because of those two ominous beings! This is an unshirkable responsibility."
"From today, you shall be imprisoned in the Ghost Race Forbidden Land, never to take a single step out! As for your two daughters..."
The Great Elder’s figure rose suddenly:
"They will be exiled from the Ghost Race imdiately, never to return!"
Upon hearing the words "Ghost Race Forbidden Land," Qing’s gaze surprisingly remained calm, even showing a hint of relief.
If only he had returned in ti, Fei wouldn’t have died!
His daughters wouldn’t have suffered today’s humiliation either!
"Thank you, Great Elder, for your leniency," he said hoarsely.
Then bowed deeply.
The stone slab resounded with the impact of his head.
Looking through the rain, his gaze fell upon his two daughters, confined.
That gaze held an abundance of guilt and longing.
Qing could feel the bitterness of having failed to save their mother and now, unable to keep his daughters in the clan...
