Looking at the figure of Old Lady Mu walking away, a warm feeling surged in Lu Jingzhi's heart.
Then, he gently held Yan An's cold little hand beside him, his eyes affectionate and firm.
"My dear, no matter how great the difficulties and hardships are that await us ahead."
"Even if it's a sea of fire, a mountain of swords, or a dense forest of thorns, I will definitely take you to the ancestral realm and do everything I can to wake you up again..."
"I will protect you for the rest of my life."
At this moment, Mrs. Mu walked into the house, holding a bowl of steaming and fragrant chicken soup steadily in her hands.
And place it gently on the wooden table.
"Jingzhi, drink this chicken soup while it's hot."
"You've experienced so much joy and sorrow during this period of time."
"He's also seriously injured, so his body needs to be properly nourished."
"Great-grandmother sincerely hopes that you can cheer up soon."
Hearing Mrs. Mu's concerned words, Lu Jingzhi nodded heavily.
"Great-grandmother, don't worry."
After saying that, he propped himself up from the bed, then reached out to pick up the porcelain bowl of chicken soup and began to drink it in small sips.
After a moment, Lu Jingzhi thought of what Mu Jin had told him before about his family being expelled.
She raised her head and looked at Grandma Mu, her eyes full of doubt, and asked, "Grandma, what happened in our family in the past?"
"Why are we being targeted so strongly by other forces on the mainland?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mu couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then slowly continued to narrate.
"As for this matter, you actually know one of the reasons."
"It is because of the flaws in our Tiansha bloodline that our members often find it difficult to effectively control their own power."
"And the other reason can be traced back to thousands of years ago..."
It turns out that thousands of years ago, the Tiansha tribe moved out of the Yin-Yang boundary and lived in their new place for thousands of years.
During that long period of time, the Tiansha clan had always lived a very peaceful and tranquil life, and their relations with other surrounding forces were also harmonious.
The relationship between them is pretty good.
However, no one expected it.
Old Lady Mu’s younger brother, Mu Tiancheng, was originally a genius with extremely high talent, and was also trained as the successor by the clan leader at that time.
But then, for some reason, his temperament suddenly changed.
He was extremely obsessed with strength and longed to be powerful, and gradually lost himself, eventually embarking on a path of no return.
Lu Jingzhi listened attentively to Old Lady Mu's story, frowning slightly as he pressed on, "What do you mean by 'road of no return'?"
"Could it be that he has fallen into the devil's way?"
Old Lady Mu shook her head and said solemnly, "That's not the case. It's just that we've embarked on a path of no return, of killing people."
"kill?"
Old Lady Mu nodded slightly and continued, "That's right. As you know, we have special bloodlines, and we tend to lose our minds more easily than ordinary people when we kill or fight fiercely."
"But he also possesses a unique ability—the ability to absorb blood and energy to enhance his own strength."
"But I've also killed a lot of people. Isn't the path to immortality all about stepping on others?"
"well……"
Old Mrs. Mu sighed, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes.
"It is indeed as you said, the path to becoming an immortal is cruel, and I have killed many enemies with my own hands."
"However, he is different from us."
"What's the difference?"
"He slaughtered without mercy."
"No matter if they are men or women, young or old, cultivators or ordinary mortals, no one will be spared."
"Even more outrageous is that he actually devours human flesh and sucks human blood. He's simply insane to the extreme!"
"Because of this, he was eventually besieged by a coalition of powerful forces, led by the Heavenly Palace."
At this point, deep resentment flashed in Mrs. Mu's cloudy eyes.
"Therefore, they also infused our bloodlines with the names of evil cultivators like the Evil Soul Clan."
"As a result, our clan was driven away and surrounded by various forces. The clan leader at that time died, forcing the Tiansha clan to leave."
"On the way to escape, they were ambushed and killed."
"Luckily, I successfully broke through to the Saint Realm and killed all those who were chasing me."
"We were able to save most of our tribesmen and come to this remote place, then cover it with confusing and defensive formations."
"Without a special key, others who come here will just come to a dense forest surrounded by mountains."
"Later, I devoted all my energy to nurturing my talented son, your grandfather. Only then was I able to retire from my high position and enjoy a leisurely life."
After listening to Mrs. Mu's narration, Lu Jingzhi couldn't calm down for a long time.
He gently picked up the bowl and carefully took a sip of the hot soup, feeling the delicious taste of the soup spreading on his tongue.
However, when he saw the oil foam floating on the surface of the soup, his thoughts drifted away involuntarily.
Lu Jingzhi smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "But our bloodline is indeed evil to normal cultivators."
"As long as we practice normally and control our blood well, we won't lose our minds."
"And with the Awakening Pendant on me, I won't lose my mind easily."
Lu Jingzhi thought of Mu Jin's dementia at the Lu Mansion and asked, "What happened to my mother?"
"Her bloodline is strong, but her mental and soul powers are weak, which leads to this situation."
Lu Jingzhi fell into a brief silence...
After a long while, he finally broke the silence and asked his great-grandmother who was sitting next to him in a low voice.
"Great-grandmother, are you saying that the only way to eliminate the negative effects of our bloodline is by taking the Bloodline Cleansing Pill?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Mu, who was concentrating on her needlework, paused for a moment.
She raised her head and said slowly: "Jingzhi, there is actually another way we can try."
Lu Jingzhi was startled when he heard this, a hint of surprise and expectation flashed in his eyes, and he quickly asked: "Grandma, what's the solution?"
