Bu Yao put away the Mysterious Array Manual, intending to translate it in the next few days before giving it to Jiang Yuan to practice. She glanced at the small courtyard and then said, "So, besides the Mysterious Array Manual, there are no other inheritances here, right?"

"Who said that?"

Jiang Yuan remained calm. The sensation of the Grim Reaper's Hand was still there, meaning that the imperial veins here had not been taken away.

"Where is the imperial lineage?" Bu Yao looked left and right but couldn't find anything suspicious.

Jiang Yuan pulled Bu Yao toward the hall. After a few steps, the two stood in the middle of the hall, where there was a very simple table and chair arrangement, and a meditation cushion on the ground.

"It seems that the senior who left behind the imperial lineage was quite particular. Helping him fulfill his last wish will not allow us to inherit his bloodline!" Jiang Yuan said confidently, looking at the futon and the mural on the wall.

"Did you find anything?" Bu Yao's bloodline was still not moving. Eight rounds of royal bloodline was still a bit lacking. If she had twelve rounds of royal bloodline now, she might be able to sense it.

“The person you were playing chess with just now is the owner of this courtyard. Of course, you were interacting as equals, so he only revealed the formations he knew! However, to obtain his bloodline, you can no longer interact as equals!” Jiang Yuan’s gaze fell on the futon beside him.

Bu Yao understood immediately, released Jiang Yuan's hand, and moved the prayer mat in front of the mural.

"There are lingering thoughts in this painting. If you bow to it a few times, your bloodline should become clear!"

The most intense atmosphere of the dead in this place is found in the murals on the walls, and the key point must lie above these.

"Um!"

As a member of the Blood Spirit Clan, Bu Yao naturally paid homage to her elders, so she knelt on the prayer mat and said, "Seniors above, Bu Yao, a disciple of the Sword Spirit Clan, offers incense here."

Three incense sticks drawn from under the altar were lit, and Bu Yao respectfully bowed.

When the ceremony was over, the futon beneath Bu Yao underwent a peculiar change. The seemingly ordinary futon began to turn blood red, and within a few seconds, the futon tore apart, revealing a small figure radiating golden light that appeared before Bu Yao.

"An imperial lineage!" Bu Yao was overjoyed, never expecting the imperial lineage to appear so suddenly.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan was also happy for Bu Yao. Obtaining this imperial bloodline was not easy. The first thing to do was to fulfill the bloodline owner's last wish and play a game of chess with him. After the game, he would have to respectfully bow to him; no formality was dispensable.

"Let's see what kind of imperial vein it is!" Jiang Yuan said with some interest. Although the goal of this trip was not an imperial vein, this was the first imperial vein that the two of them had obtained, and it was of great commemorative value.

"good!"

Bu Yao began to sink into it, and after about ten minutes, she exclaimed with wild joy, "A five-star imperial vein! It's actually a five-star imperial vein!"

"So high?" Jiang Yuan was quite surprised. He thought that one or two stars would be enough in this marginal area, but he didn't expect to get a five-star imperial vein right away. This was a complete surprise.

“I know who the owner of this courtyard is now. He was the most talented Xuanzhen Master of the Array Spirit Clan seven hundred years ago. I never thought he would also die peacefully in the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land!” Bu Yao’s expression turned dejected as she spoke.

"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural course of life! To end one's life in accordance with the laws of nature is perhaps already a great fortune!" Jiang Yuan did not feel regret, because dying of old age is the best gift that nature can give to the creatures on the battlefield. There are too many innocent people who are cruelly slaughtered before they even begin to enjoy life, which is incomparable.

Bu Yao stood up, holding the Five-Star Emperor Vein, and said, "How about we end this trip here? The Five-Star Emperor Vein is enough for me to use until I reach the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"No, we agreed on the Holy Divine Vein!" Jiang Yuan said in an unquestionable tone.

“But I’m worried that you’ll be in danger. After all, everyone here is from the Holy Spirit Clan, and you, as an outsider, will inevitably be ostracized!” Bu Yao’s eyes were full of worry.

"Put away the Five-Star Imperial Vein, someone's on their way!"

Jiang Yuan's expression changed, and he told Bu Yao to withdraw her bloodline. His focused perception allowed him to see the figures of other people, and not just one or two.

"Oh no! It must have been the nearby Holy Spirits who discovered it when the bloodline aura leaked!" Bu Yao hurriedly put away the Emperor's Bloodline, but it was too late; people nearby had already begun to appear.

"An imperial lineage has appeared here. Everyone who sees it gets a share. If you know what's good for you, hand it over obediently!"

Before Jiang Yuan and Bu Yao could even leave, they heard extremely arrogant shouts and curses coming from outside.

"What should we do?" Bu Yao asked Jiang Yuan. The two of them were not very strong, and in a place like the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land where strong people emerged, they would definitely not have the upper hand in a fight.

"Take your sword and cut down whoever comes!" Jiang Yuan said calmly, his Gentleman's Sword trembling as if it craved blood.

Bu Yao was not one to back down from trouble. Her Lady's Sword materialized in her hand with a tremor. "Let's go!"

"Stop hiding from me! You'll have to live to use the Imperial Bloodline, even if you have the life to take it. Hand it over and we'll all be fine today. Otherwise, don't blame me, Rong Xu, for being ruthless!"

The people outside started shouting again.

"So noisy!"

Jiang Yuan calmly walked out of the courtyard, closing the door behind him. He didn't want to disturb the final rest of a deceased person.

"Did you obtain the imperial bloodline?" Rong Xu's eyes swept over them, as if trying to figure out their background in order to determine whether he could afford to offend them.

"No need to look anymore, I am Bu Yao of the Sword Spirit Clan!" Bu Yao pointed her sword at the three people in front of her.

"Bu Yao of the Sword Spirit Clan?" Rong Xu looked thoughtful, then said, "I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before!"

"Boss, Bu Yao is the Holy Maiden who had an affair with a human five years ago and gave birth to a daughter. However, I heard that the Holy Maiden has been demoted to a menial servant!"

One of Rong Xu's underlings introduced her with a smug look on his face, seemingly showing a hint of disdain for Bu Yao's ordeal of falling from the sky to the ground.

Although the news of Jiang Xiaoxiao becoming the princess of the Demon Spirit God Kingdom has spread, very few people are really concerned about who Jiang Xiaoxiao's parents are. In addition, due to the public relations efforts of the Demon Spirit God Kingdom, they do not want their princess to have too many ties with others, even her parents. Therefore, few people know the identities of Jiang Yuan and Bu Yao.
