After saying all this, Ning Yanlan remained calm. Some of her hatred was hidden in her heart, and that was clearly the case.

Just as Jiang Yuan was about to offer some words of comfort, the inheritance space suddenly fluctuated, and the group subconsciously looked up at the sky.

"The lockdown must have been lifted!" Leng Yue guessed.

Jiang Yuan, thinking of the Protoss outside, asked worriedly, "Yanlan, will the Holy Spirit Pavilion still make things difficult for you now that you've entered?"

"With the bloodline seed shattered, the Holy Spirit identity naturally ceases to exist!" Ning Yanlan shook off other thoughts and focused on the matter at hand.

"It's alright, the Holy Spirit Pavilion won't make things difficult for us!" Jiang Yuan was very confident. Once the God-Slaying Spear was detonated, not only the Holy Spirit Pavilion, but also the surrounding area for dozens of miles would be affected.

Jiang Yuan had told Ning Yanlan about what had happened during their stroll, so Ning Yanlan knew the source of Jiang Yuan's confidence.

"Two days have passed now, and I don't know if the beast tide in the South City has ended yet!" Leng Yue said, pursing her lips.

“Go back and see for yourself! Besides, it’s time to settle some scores!” Jiang Yuan said coldly. He was determined to make Sima Sheng pay for detaining Ning Yanlan at the Holy Spirit Pavilion with his life.

Let's go!

The three of them exited the inheritance space at the same time.

The moment he withdrew, Jiang Yuan sensed the Heavenly Soul Child. With a command, the Heavenly Soul Child stood before Jiang Yuan with the God-Slaying Spear.

Next came Leng Yue, and finally Ning Yanlan.

However, Ning Yanlan did not appear next to Jiang Yuan, but on the illusory figure that had already been there.

"That's really surprising!"

Applause rang in Jiang Yuan's ears. He focused his mind and fully controlled the God-Slaying Spear. Facing Mu Hai, who was above the ninth rank, this was his only trump card.

Mu Hai didn't make a move; he simply clapped his hands and stood up from his seat. He looked at the group with admiration and said, "You are different from those humans who pursued power in the past!"

"Pavilion Master Mu, according to the previous agreement, we did not choose the Holy Spirit bloodline. Can we leave the Holy Spirit Pavilion now?" Jiang Yuan raised the God-Slaying Spear in his hand, with a hint of threat.

“Of course you can!” Mu Hai said casually, glancing at Ning Yanlan, who had already awakened inside the light screen. “But as for her, I still need to examine her!”

"What do you mean! Do you want the Holy Spirit Pavilion to perish along with the three of us?" Jiang Yuan took three steps forward and said fiercely.

"Jiang Yuan, it's alright, let him check!" Ning Yanlan sat up and waved to Jiang Yuan.

"Don't think of us Holy Spirits as so bad. I'm just following the rules of the battlefield! As for the creatures on the battlefield, they should go back to where they came from!"

With a flick of his wrist, Mu Hai unleashed a beam of light that landed on Ning Yanlan's brow. As the Holy Spirit's power surged in, a faint starlight mark appeared on Ning Yanlan's brow.

Jiang Yuan dared not relax in the slightest. If Ning Yanlan showed any signs of distress, he would act without hesitation.

The star pattern never fully appeared; once Mu Hai's power was removed, the star pattern would completely disappear beneath his skin.

"The bloodline seed has indeed shattered, but a trace of my clan's power still remains in its body!" Mu Hai said calmly, withdrawing his Holy Spirit energy.

“Sect Master, I am of no value to the Holy Spirit Clan now. I hope you will allow me to return and spend my final days with my beloved,” Ning Yanlan said.

"Are you sure? If we go to the sacred mountain now, you might still have a last chance to survive!" Mu Hai said solemnly.

Ning Yanlan slowly shook her head and said, "It's a done deal. Now I just want to be with my lover!"

"Alright then!" Mu Hai could only agree when he saw that Ning Yanlan was determined to leave.

Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. There was obviously some special deal between Ning Yanlan and the Holy Spirit Clan, but that was no longer important. What mattered was that Ning Yanlan was safe and sound.

"Thank you, Master!"

Ning Yanlan sincerely thanked them. Even though the Holy Spirit Clan only used the bloodline seed to prolong her life because they valued her potential, they had still saved her. Despite their different racial stances, she still wanted to express her gratitude.

"Don't thank me yet. Your inability to become the Holy Maiden of my Protoss race only proves that we are not destined for each other! But the residual bloodline seed within you cannot be taken away, unless..."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuan's divine energy surged, and he was about to make a move.

"Unless you can promise me one thing!" Mu Hai looked at Jiang Yuan with a faint smile.

"If you push your luck, don't blame me for being impolite!" Jiang Yuan threatened.

"Don't get agitated, it's just a small matter!" Mu Hai smiled faintly, then said, "Even if a deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. Logically speaking, Ning Yanlan owes my Holy Spirit Clan a favor. I also know her situation; she probably can't repay this favor, so..."

"Just say what you want to say, there's no need to keep us in suspense!"

“Alright, I’ll be frank! The battlefield is fully open, and a battle between humanity and the Holy Spirits is inevitable. Although your potential is lacking, you have some fighting spirit, and you might become a pillar of humanity in the future. So!” Mu Hai paused, put his hands behind his back, and said, “If the Star Spirit Clan is in danger of annihilation, do not kill them all. Leave them a last chance to survive!”

Jiang Yuan fell into deep thought; he never imagined that Mu Hai would make such a condition.

"A gentleman's agreement, what do you think?" Mu Hai slowly walked towards his throne as the Pavilion Master.

“Alright, if that day ever comes, I will leave a glimmer of hope for the Star Spirits!” Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Su Yan, see the guests out!"

...

This time, there were no overwhelming monsters when we came out of the Holy Spirit Pavilion, and even the dense forest was much quieter.

"The Protoss are still quite trustworthy!"

After walking a few kilometers, Jiang Yuan said that he had thought the Star Spirits would deliberately trip them up, but when they came out, everything was calm and there was nothing there.

"Where do you think the Holy Spirit Clan comes from?" Ning Yanlan suddenly asked.

Jiang Yuan was taken aback. He had never thought about this issue before. The Holy Spirit appeared too suddenly, and the Holy Spirit used Chinese after entering the region. This was a very intriguing point.

"The universe is vast, and these are merely invaders! Our mission is to drive out the Holy Spirit and protect our homeland!" Leng Yue answered crisply and decisively.

“No!” Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, “Then why do they say Earth is a battlefield, and judging from their tone, this battlefield is restricted by higher-level rules!”

"If they were truly just invaders, they could have conquered the entire Earth the moment they appeared! Why are they still hiding in the Holy Spirit Building?"

"The strength of the Holy Spirits has been sealed to varying degrees, from the third and fourth-tier Holy Spirits in the Holy Spirit Fortress at the beginning to the ninth-tier and even higher-tier Holy Spirits now! It's as if they deliberately gave us time!"

"Maybe cats like to play with mice before they eat them!" Leng Yue didn't think that much about it.

"Have you ever considered that the Holy Spirit originally belonged to this world?"
