Shi Xuan raised her eyebrows. Now that things had come to this, she had no room to resist. Her biggest regret was not why she cursed her senior brother, but that she hadn't killed him.
They really show no remorse whatsoever.
Shi Xuan swung his sword, the sharp sword intent striking Aiza's chest and abdomen, sending her flying and crashing into the broken wall of the collapsed altar.
Aiza coughed up a mouthful of blood and became completely listless.
“Eh,” Hong Chi’s voice rang out in Shi Xuan’s consciousness at this moment: “This woman has the aura of divine blood on her body.”
"Divine blood?" Shi Xuan narrowed his eyes and uttered those two words directly.
Aiza suddenly looked up at Shi Xuan in surprise: "How did you know!"
Shi Xuan crossed his arms in front of him and said casually, "Are you going to tell me yourself, or wait for the soul search?"
Aiza's eyes widened, and she squinted at Shi Xuan, saying, "Your cultivation level is not high enough to search me."
“Heh,” Shi Xuan smiled kindly, “You may not know, but our sect has many Nascent Soul stage ancestors. Searching for a Deity Transformation stage cultivator is still quite easy.”
It was only at this moment that Aiza truly became terrified. She stared intently at Shi Xuan and said sternly, "You righteous cultivators are the most disgusted by such evil arts and crooked methods."
“There are no evil arts or crooked methods,” Shi Xuan said with his smile undiminished. “The laws of this world are good laws when used by kind-hearted people, and evil laws when used by evil-hearted people. For someone as kind-hearted as me, whatever I use is a good law.”
Shi Xuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, although my cultivation level isn't high enough to search you, I can still search others."
As she spoke, her gaze fell upon the old man who had spoken earlier.
The old man was only at the Golden Core stage. When he looked at Shi Xuan, his eyes were downcast and he seemed to want to kill himself in front of everyone.
But no.
Shi Xuan had already been on guard against him and had anticipated his actions. Now, it was impossible for him to seek death.
Seeing this, Aiza painfully closed her eyes, gathered her spiritual power, and prepared to self-destruct.
Since the entire witch clan has already been wiped out and they have no chance of survival, they might as well perish together.
The self-destruction of a Nascent Soul cultivator is extremely powerful. It would be ideal if we could take these people with us.
Shi Xuan immediately realized her intention.
She's the best at handling things like self-disclosure.
In an instant, all things came into being and enveloped Aiza.
Aiza felt her spiritual power rapidly draining away, and she found herself completely unable to gather enough to self-destruct!
She suddenly looked up at Shi Xuan. These three people, what amazing skills they have!
Shi Xuan was still smiling, his attitude amiable: "Now you can tell me, right?"
Aiza closed her eyes; she had no other choice.
If she had known this day would come, if she had known that the entire Witch Clan would perish at her hands, she would have personally ended Lu Shenzhi's life back then, leaving no future troubles!
But it's too late to say anything now.
The enemy swept through the entire witch clan in a short time with overwhelming force.
And it can make them unable to even wish for death.
Aiza sighed, "This divine blood should have belonged to my Wu clan. Back then, a holy maiden fled with the divine blood and married a foreigner, which caused the divine blood to flow out and my Wu clan to lose its lineage."
Lu Shenzhi said, "You mean to say that my mother is a member of the witch clan?"
“Who knows, it could be my maternal grandmother,” Aiza said, struggling to sit up. “Regardless of who among you is a member of the witch clan, we must get back that drop of divine blood from you!”
"Don't make it sound so nice," Shi Xuan said. "I'm afraid you just want divine blood to help you cultivate."
Her cultivation level reveals that the Wu clan generally has a low level of cultivation, indicating that their existing cultivation methods are flawed.
Aiza was the only one among them who had reached the Nascent Soul stage; the highest level among them was the Golden Core stage, which shows how much the divine blood helped her cultivation.
Aiza didn't argue; she muttered to herself, "I should have killed you..."
Although it was a formal occasion, it didn't stop Shi Xuan from enjoying the spectacle.
She asked, "Then why didn't you kill my senior brother back then? Wasn't it because you had feelings for him?"
At first, Shi Xuan guessed that the witch's treatment of Lu Shenzhi was because his appearance had attracted many suitors, but now it seems there's more to the story...
Aiza hesitated for a moment, but then said, "If it weren't for... if it weren't for what I did to him... I would have killed him! I regret it! I have failed my people!"
Shi Xuan curled his lips. This witch never regretted her harmful actions from beginning to end, only regretting that she hadn't nipped the problem in the bud. She was truly hopeless.
“I don’t understand,” Lu Shenzhi said. “If you don’t even know whether my mother is a member of the witch clan, how do you know that the so-called divine blood is in me?”
When the question was brought up, Aiza's eyes flickered, and she softly uttered two words: "divination."
It was just two words, but Shi Xuan knew it couldn't be that simple.
Sure enough, Hong Chi sneered in Shi Xuan's consciousness, "Hmph, blood sacrifice to trace."
Shi Xuan asked in his divine consciousness, "What is blood sacrifice tracking?"
"The lives of the people in Wenqu City before were used for this purpose."
Upon hearing Hong Chi's explanation, Shi Xuan was filled with rage. She immediately swung her sword and sent Aiza flying again. This time, she crashed into the broken wall and landed in a pile of rubble.
Shi Xuan still felt it wasn't enough, so he immediately injected the power of the Void Gale into her body.
Then they heard Aiza let out a muffled groan, barely suppressed.
"For a drop of damned divine blood, he used the lives of an entire city as a lure—what a heartless and cowardly bastard!"
Aiza refused to accept this and insisted, "That, that is, our, the Witch Clan's, sacred object!"
"It's all an excuse!" Shi Xuan said. "It's just an excuse to satisfy your desire to advance your cultivation to the next level. No matter how eloquently you speak, it can't hide your ugly mentality!"
At this moment, the old man who had spoken earlier let out a long sigh: "Alas, in the search for the divine blood, dozens of my clan's elite members were all wiped out..."
Lu Shenzhi retorted sarcastically, "Aren't the lives of people in one city enough? Are you going to use the lives of your own people to make up for it?"
The old man shook his head and said, "In order to achieve that blood sacrifice tracing, dozens of elite members of my witch clan were mobilized and used the Spirit Explosion Secret Technique to increase their cultivation in a short period of time. Afterwards, they would die from exhaustion due to drawing too much spiritual power in advance."
The old man still seemed unable to let go of what had happened back then.
Perhaps he didn't know whether finding this drop of divine blood was more important, or whether the lives of so many people in the Wu Clan were more important.
Aiza has consistently emphasized that divine blood must not be allowed to flow out, but they seem to have missed the point...
