Chapter 323: Chapter 323: A Ray of Hope

Su Muyao gazed at this group of people, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Shen Ci’an’s long, narrow eyes darkened, and a bloodthirsty killing intent surged around him.

If he could join in, he would certainly have killed all these people.

Su Muyao held Shen Ci’an’s hand and could sense his current anger, his body trembling slightly from suppressing the anger.

Gradually, Su Muyao could feel Shen Ci’an’s spiritual turmoil.

This couldn’t continue.

Su Muyao wrapped her arms around him and said, "Ci’an, calm down, we will definitely avenge your people."

As she spoke, Su Muyao placed her hand on Shen Ci’an’s back, channeling spiritual power to him, soothing his agitated and chaotic state.

Only then did Shen Ci’an calm down, saying, "I will stay calm and carefully watch these enemies."

These Law Enforcement Disciples barged into the Blood Clan, their skills agile, swinging their long blades in fierce arcs, slashing toward the Blood Beastman.

The Blood Clan Beastman were utterly unprepared, so the Law Enforcement Disciples took advantage, slaughtering countless beastmen, sparing not even the old, weak, women, or children, their methods extremely ruthless.

They surrounded and slaughtered from all sides, fanning out in a half-circle to massacre the Blood Beastman.

"Ah..."

"You people are so vicious. What did we do wrong to be treated this way by you?"

Among the Blood Clan Beastman, many ordinary beastmen had no combat abilities and could only be slaughtered.

The Blood Clan Family Head, along with the Blood Clan Clan Elders, arrived in time, catalyzing the Blood Clan’s ability to resist these Law Enforcement Disciples and protect the Blood Clan’s people.

As soon as the Blood Clan Family Head and the Blood Clan Clan Elders took action, a pressure descended, instantly killing dozens of Law Enforcement Disciples.

This time, Su Muyao witnessed the true capabilities of the Blood Clan Beastman.

The Blood Clan Family Head led the Clan Elders and countless Blood Clan guards in battle at the front, while Xuan Che and his men guarded the altar’s exterior, blocking all Law Enforcement Disciples attempting to enter the altar.

He directed two Clan Elders to escort Xuan Kang into the altar for a quick escape.

Xuan Kang looked at Xuan Che and said, "Elder brother, I’m not leaving, cough cough..."

While fighting, Xuan Che relayed to Xuan Kang from a distance, "Brother, you must leave, you are the hope of our Blood Clan."

"Only if you live well can our Blood Clan have a glimmer of hope."

"The Mortal Beast Continent also has branches of our Blood Clan. The two Clan Elders will take you there; they will protect you fully."

As Xuan Che spoke, his eyes shone with determination, and he catalyzed the Blood Clan’s power in his palms, forming a dense blood mist to conceal what lay inside.

Those outside could not see the altar’s activities nor the Xuan Kang within.

But Shen Ci’an and Su Muyao could see through the blood mist, seeing the Xuan Kang and the two Blood Clan Elders inside.

Moreover, they used the Blood Clan Secret Technique for remote communication, inaudible to others, but discernible to herself and Shen Ci’an.

It was an intriguing sensation.

Su Muyao always felt there were still secrets within this, but she couldn’t pinpoint what exactly.

Xuan Kang, with bloodshot eyes, knew that once he left, his brothers were doomed. He spoke, "Elder brother, you know my body’s secret. After you and I merge our blood power, you can attain Divinity Transformation strength."

At this moment, many more Law Enforcement Disciples surged forward. Xuan Che stood in the air, his long red hair flying with the wind, and his pale skin almost translucent, beautiful and alluring, bloodthirsty yet enigmatic. He drew a line of blood power with his hand, catalyzing it as blood-colored lightning, which struck whichever Law Enforcement Disciple he targeted, causing instant death.

"Kill him, he is the strongest of the Blood Clan."

The Law Enforcement Disciples realized Xuan Che’s strength exceeded even the Blood Clan Family Head and Clan Elders, their expressions showing shock as more Law Enforcement Disciples swarmed in.

While fighting, Xuan Che spoke, "Brother, a hundred years ago, our Blood Clan’s High Priest foresaw a prophecy about our clan, foretelling a life-or-death catastrophe a century later. The High Priest used a predictive method repeatedly, and the outcome was the annihilation of our entire clan."

"However, the High Priest, at the cost of his life, calculated a glimmer of hope, and you hold this glimmer because you possess the Holy Blood of the Blood Clan."

"The Holy Blood of the Blood Clan is too strong; your body cannot withstand or contain the power of the Holy Blood."

"So our parents used a secret technique to seal the power of the Holy Blood."

"Once you reach the Mortal Beast Continent, you must marry and have children, and then leave the rest to fate."

"Remember, do not fall in love..."

At the last moment, Xuan Che instructed Xuan Kang on many matters, then slit his wrist, using his own blood to activate the Blood Clan Altar.

As he activated the altar, an extremely bright blood-colored shield formed around him, blocking all Law Enforcement Disciples outside.

Nobody knew what happened inside.

But Su Muyao and Shen Ci’an could clearly see Xuan Che sacrificing his entire life and blood to activate the altar.

He sent Xuan Kang away.

At the same time, unable to defeat the Blood Clan, the woman claiming to be Lin Huirou’s sister took out a bead. That bead, containing the power of a Magic Artifact, emitted a dazzling brilliance, illuminating the entire Blood Clan valley.

Like the sunshine of broad daylight, it directly weakened the strength of the Blood Clan Beastman.

Not to mention, the later-arriving Law Enforcement Disciples held many talismanic seals to diminish the Blood Beastmen’s power while simultaneously slaughtering them.

Eventually, all the Blood Beastmen in the valley were killed.

However, some were taken away by those Law Enforcement Disciples.

After Xuan Kang was sent away, the Blood Clan Altar shattered completely and was rendered useless.

Unable to bear the shock, Shen Ci’an coughed up blood and fainted.

...

Three days later, Shen Ci’an awoke, something about him visibly changed.

Su Muyao asked, "I’ve re-evaluated over these three days, Lin Huirou did not die in the Blood Clan. She died outside, so we don’t know who killed her, but her sister resembles her too much; something’s definitely amiss."

"Perhaps this is all a conspiracy against the Blood Clan."

Shen Ci’an’s eyes held a bloodthirsty glint as he said, "They are people of the Bright Hall."

"On the Cang Beast Continent, although various powerful families and sect forces control certain territories, the beastmen living within need to pay annual tributes. Some familial forces’ demands for tributes have increased to unbearable levels for many beastmen, leaving them to wander outside."

"Some others, for their mistakes, face expulsion."

"Wandering beastmen, with no shelter, unable to eat their fill, and subject to bullying and slaughter, gave rise to the Bright Hall. Initially, the Hall Master aimed to rescue these innocent wandering beastmen."

"Their hall’s creed is to dispel darkness and reshape light."

"They opposed all oppression and dissatisfaction, yet as their power grew, they began to plunder the wealth of beastmen, even annihilating several powerful tribes to devour their power."

"It is said that within their hall is a secret technique focused on devouring the abilities of other beastmen through wicked means to enhance their own strength."

"It must be them."

While spending time on the Cang Beast Continent, Shen Ci’an had gathered considerable information.

Never had he imagined his father’s Blood Clan had been exterminated in this manner.

Su Muyao’s gaze darkened as she said, "The many familial forces on the Cang Beast Continent, being so vast, is there no force to deal with them?"

Focusing his mind, Shen Ci’an said, "It’s said that there were forces that tried to manage it before but were annihilated themselves. After wiping out some familial forces, they promoted certain mid-level forces for their use."

"They are not easily dealt with."
