Yin Hongtao bit her red lips until they turned white, but under Jiang Yuan's emotionless gaze, she still managed to straighten her clothes.

Seeing this, Ren Hui immediately stepped in to ease the tension, "My lord, please don't take it too seriously. Hongtao is just lacking a sense of security, which is why she craves a royal bloodline!"

"My lord, I'm so sorry, it was Hearts who was being presumptuous!"

Having failed to gain Jiang Yuan's favor, Yin Hongtao apologized in a low voice. If it weren't for the need to become powerful, she wouldn't have wanted to humiliate herself.

Jiang Yuan's expression remained unchanged; he simply said, "Since you say that a level three mortal vein is more suitable for you, why risk fusing with a royal vein now?"

"Or do you believe that merging with the imperial bloodline will give you a superior position among the Holy Spirit Clan? Or perhaps, it will allow you to become a more perfect member of the Holy Spirit Clan?"

Jiang Yuan knew the answer, but he still wanted to know what Yin Hongtao and Ren Hui were thinking. The catastrophe had not yet truly begun, but countless people had already begun to defect and join the Holy Spirit Clan. This was a tragedy for the human race! He needed to know why.

"It's just to survive!" Yin Hongtao didn't dare to look up at Jiang Yuan. She murmured, "If I don't get stronger, I simply can't survive in this world!"

"Can you really integrate into the Holy Spirit Clan by abandoning the past?" Jiang Yuan scoffed.

“That’s why we need to be transformed with better bloodlines, so that we won’t be discriminated against!” Yin Hongtao said matter-of-factly, without feeling ashamed at all for joining the Holy Spirit.

"And you?" Jiang Yuan asked Ren Hui.

"I just want power!"

Ren Hui's answer was very rational. Without knowing Jiang Yuan's stance, he neither favored the Holy Spirit Clan nor spoke well of the human race. He simply gave a vague answer.

Jiang Yuan didn't care. He looked at the blood-red figure in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can't give you the imperial bloodline now, but if you behave well, I will consider giving it to one of you when I leave the inheritance space!"

"Really?" Yin Hongtao couldn't hide her true feelings at all, and her expression immediately lit up when she heard this.

Although Ren Hui's emotions fluctuated greatly, he concealed his inner thoughts well. However, his attitude towards Jiang Yuan underwent a complete change. If he was fawning before, he was now respectful.

"Take me to the core inheritance point of the Protoss race. I will leave here after I find the person!" Jiang Yuan said.

His meaning was clear: if they helped him find the person, then the imperial lineage would be theirs.

"My lord, the inheritance point is not far ahead. I will lead the way for you!" Yin Hongtao straightened her posture, as if the embarrassment of undressing and offering herself just now did not exist at all.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the desolate land. He no longer had the idea of ​​collecting the bloodline of the Holy Spirit. After all, each use of the Hand of Death consumed a huge amount of divine energy. He wanted to save the power for where it was most needed.

This time, without stopping, Yin Hongtao and Ren Hui led the way straight to the core area, which they had never dared to even think about before.

Jiang Yuan's stature in their hearts is undoubtedly extraordinary. His words have become law, and he has obtained royal bloodlines with ease. These are all things that are beyond their reach. So now Jiang Yuan has become their benefactor. As long as they serve this master well, they may even obtain royal bloodlines, let alone a first-level one.

"My lord, we are still ten kilometers away from the inheritance point, but Hongtao would like to remind you of a few things!" Yin Hongtao made a hesitant gesture, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Speak!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.

Along the way, Yin Hongtao would occasionally give him a few subtle glances, but given his current state of mind, he remained completely calm and composed in the face of these events.

“The inheritance space is shared by all Holy Spirits. Although this inheritance point is owned by three races, there are still many powerful individuals among them. I suggest we avoid conflicts. After all, we are human. Even if we can defeat the Holy Spirits, we should keep a low profile!” Yin Hongtao deliberately moved closer as she spoke.

"Are there many strong people?" Jiang Yuan sneered.

"A lot, a great deal!"

Yin Hongtao's expression became particularly solemn as she spoke. She continued, "No one can know for sure how many Holy Spirit structures the Golden Gate has descended, but one thing is certain: the number of Holy Spirits is not much less than that of humans!"

"We initially joined the Cangling Clan's Holy Spirit Temple, and were secretly pleased to have joined the strongest Holy Spirit Temple among the Holy Spirits. But later we discovered that the Holy Spirit Temple was not the strongest; there was also the Holy Spirit Divine Mountain above it!"

"Just two days ago, a Holy Spirit of the Earth Spirit Clan obtained the Royal Bloodline. He came from the Holy Spirit Mountain, and his status and strength completely overwhelmed us ordinary members of the Holy Spirit Temple! Moreover, I heard that the Holy Spirit Mountain has not yet been unsealed, but once it is unsealed, it will become the ruler of this land, and they will sweep away all life!"

Jiang Yuan seemed to be deep in thought. The veracity of Yin Hongtao's statement still needed to be verified, but it was not entirely baseless. The power of the Holy Spirit Mountain was beyond doubt.

"Just a few more groveling, lowly humans!"

Just as Jiang Yuan was pondering, a mocking voice rang out, followed by a chorus of laughter.

"Oh no, it's the Holy Spirit of the Cangling Clan!" Ren Hui's pupils shrank; he recognized the person.

Jiang Yuan looked over and saw four men and one woman flying over, each with a blue feather pattern between their eyebrows.

"It's him!" Yin Hongtao's expression was terrified. Her face, which had been all smiles just moments before, trembled as she turned away, not daring to look directly at the group.

Jiang Yuan glanced at Yin Hongtao, then turned his gaze to the five people walking toward them.

"You lowly human, why don't you kneel before me, the young master!" The leading youth said with a mocking look in his eyes.

"Young Master He, look! Isn't that the woman from last time?"

Among the five, a thin Holy Spirit noticed the still trembling Yin Hongtao. Sure enough, the young man called Young Master He's expression changed. He completely ignored Jiang Yuan and Ren Hui and grabbed Yin Hongtao's shoulder.

Yin Hongtao trembled, knowing she couldn't escape, and could only plead, "Young Master He, please spare me! I don't want the Holy Spirit Stone anymore!"

"That won't do! The game has already started, how can we give up halfway through! Besides!"

He Shao licked his lips, then suddenly increased the pressure on his hand. "Besides, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"Ah!" Yin Hongtao screamed in despair.

“You ran away too fast last time, and our game wasn’t over yet! Now, let’s continue!” Young Master He said repeatedly.

The other four, including the only woman, watched coldly without showing any reaction.

"Phew! They really don't treat me like a human being!" Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and stepped forward with a roguish air.

"Help me!" Yin Hongtao cried out, clutching her chest.

"Oh, and there's also the hero saving the damsel in distress!" Young Master He patted Yin Hongtao's face, his tone extremely disdainful.

"What games are you playing? Want me to play with you?"

Jiang Yuan pressed down on his wrist and fingers, his tone and expression as if he were joking.
