"Another price!"
Ye Zhaozhao trembled all over when she heard that phrase, but she couldn't help but ask, "What price?"
The System slowly replied, "I need to use a secret technique to stimulate your bloodline power. This will cause your blood relatives in this body to sense it and rush here immediately! The consequence is that your future cultivation will be much more difficult than it is now. But as long as you absorb the luck of a few more chosen ones, there might still be a future!"
Ye Zhaozhao's lips trembled.
This body's innate talent was already not great.
After using that secret technique, her aptitude would become even worse! However, she had no choice now.
Ye Zhaozhao gritted her teeth and said, "Then so be it!"
"Fang Qingyu came to Chenrong Kingdom specifically to find her relatives. She left many traces along the way, so her blood relative is most likely nearby. When that happens, you'll be saved!"
As the System spoke, it unhesitatingly activated the bloodline secret technique.
Once this secret technique was activated, others would not notice anything, but only the relatives of this body would have a mysterious sense of connection.
The closer the bloodline, the stronger the connection!
In Chengpíng Town, within the dense forest.
A middle-aged man and a cold-faced young man were searching for something along the way.
"Qingyu's aura definitely appeared here! Where has this child gone now?" A hint of anxiety flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.
"Master! Since Junior Sister is nearby, we'll find her if we search carefully," the young man comforted him.
"Lingchuan, among all my disciples, you are the only one who truly understands me, I..." The middle-aged man was speaking.
Suddenly.
His expression changed abruptly.
At this moment.
His perception of bloodline suddenly became a thousand, even ten thousand times clearer.
He had a strong intuition that his daughter, Fang Qingyu, was definitely nearby!
"Let's go!" The man pulled Wu Lingchuan and soared into the sky, following the direction of the aura.
The man traveled quickly and soon encountered a flying boat speeding through the air.
The man's body trembled with excitement.
His daughter was in the flying boat!
The man used his spiritual power to forcibly stop the flying boat!
"Who is in the flying boat? Please come out and have a word!" The man's expression held a hint of anticipation.
This power...
Lin Qingling's brows furrowed. She stepped out of the cabin, her expression stern, and her voice slightly cold: "Yan Zhonghe!"
The man's face also darkened. He said coldly, "Lin Qingling!"
Both of them simultaneously released their aura, and their auras instantly collided in the air.
Lin Qingling's face became slightly grim.
In this clash, she was at a disadvantage!
Li Shuang also frowned.
Yan Zhonghe!
It was him!
There were six major sects in the Southern Lan Continent.
And among them, the strongest recognized sect was the Tyrant Blade Sect!
This man before them was the sect master of the Tyrant Blade Sect: Yan Zhonghe!
The reason the Sword Sect had been so cautious all these years was because the Tyrant Blade Sect had been eyeing them covetously!
After years of development.
The overall strength of the Tyrant Blade Sect even subtly surpassed that of the Sword Sect.
They were just waiting for the sect competition three years later. If the Tyrant Blade Sect won the competition, the Sword Sect might fall out of the top six sects!
If it were just fair competition, that would be one thing, but the Tyrant Blade Sect resorted to unscrupulous means. Many Sword Sect disciples had suffered underhanded tricks from Tyrant Blade Sect disciples while on missions!
The feud between the two sects had thus been established!
"Lin Qingling! What have you done to my daughter!" Yan Zhonghe extended his hand, and a bloodline thread spread from his palm, pointing directly at Ye Zhaozhao inside the flying boat.
He pulled slightly.
Ye Zhaozhao was directly pulled out!
"Yan Zhonghe! This is a demonic cultivator captured by my Sword Sect!" Lin Qingling drew her sword and directly severed the bloodline connection.
However, her brows furrowed tightly.
The body Ye Zhaozhao had taken over this time turned out to be this Yan Zhonghe's daughter!
This was going to be troublesome!
Yan Zhonghe, seeing Ye Zhaozhao's miserable state, was already furious. He said sharply, "This is my daughter, how can she be a demonic cultivator! Lin Qingling, your Sword Sect is so unscrupulous that you even lay hands on my daughter!"
"Father, save me," Ye Zhaozhao seized the opportunity to cry out.
The Sect Master's ring in Yan Zhonghe's hand flashed, and Ye Zhaozhao's body disappeared from the flying boat, appearing directly in his arms the next moment.
Lin Qingling's face grew even uglier: "The teleportation effect of the Sect Master's ring. It can only be activated once a month. Sect Master Yan, to use such an opportunity for a demonic cultivator, is truly laughable!"
"Father, I'm not a demonic cultivator, they said I possessed another's body, I'm not..." Ye Zhaozhao said with some difficulty.
"I know, child, Father knows everything." Yan Zhonghe's eyes reddened with heartache. He hugged Ye Zhaozhao tightly, his voice chilling: "My daughter's soul is stable, how could she be someone who possessed another's body! Your excuse is too ridiculous! I will definitely have a good talk with your Sword Sect about this matter."
Lin Qingling sneered, "There are many secret techniques in the demonic path that can achieve perfect body possession. To be frank, your daughter's soul has been occupied by the Sword Sect traitor, Ye Zhaozhao. If you forcibly take her away, I'm afraid your Tyrant Blade Sect will never have peace again!"
"That's utterly ridiculous! You accuse someone like this, do you have any evidence?" Yan Zhonghe stared at her intently.
Lin Qingling said expressionlessly, "Kill her! If she is a demonic cultivator, traces will be revealed after death!"
Yan Zhonghe was so angry he laughed: "What if she isn't?"
"If she isn't, I, Lin Qingling, will pay with my life," Lin Qingling said without hesitation.
Yan Zhonghe's pupils suddenly contracted.
Pay with her life?
That was a serious statement.
If Lin Qingling truly wanted to frame Qingyu, there would be no need to risk her own life.
Ye Zhaozhao immediately grew anxious. She said with a pained expression, "Father, do you, do you also suspect me? Then why don't you just kill me!"
Large tears rolled down Ye Zhaozhao's cheeks.
Yan Zhonghe looked at her, his heart aching beyond measure. He quickly said, "Of course Father believes you."
Yan Zhonghe looked up, his face expressionless, at Lin Qingling: "My daughter's life is far more precious than yours, Lin Qingling! Lin Qingling, my daughter is seriously injured, so I won't bother with you today, but in the future, I will definitely demand an explanation from your Sword Sect!"
Yan Zhonghe cast a cold glance at Li Shuang and the others: "The Sword Sect is truly declining generation after generation. Your strongest among the younger generation is Jiang Rongyi, right? It's a pity that Jiang Rongyi was defeated by my senior disciple Ren Gu several years ago! My second disciple, Wu Lingchuan, beside me, is also about to break through to the Soul Transformation stage! And what about your disciples? Looking around, only Luo Mingyue is barely usable."
Yan Zhonghe showed a mocking smile: "Three years from now, at the Grand Sect Competition, I want your Sword Sect to be kicked out of the Six Great Sects forever!"
Wu Lingchuan, standing beside him, also looked at them coldly: "The grudge of injuring my junior sister today, I will repay a hundredfold on the arena in the future!"
In Yan Zhonghe's arms, Ye Zhaozhao let out a painful sound.
"Let's go, we'll head back first." Yan Zhonghe was heartbroken. He took Wu Lingchuan and quickly left.
She should be safe now...
Ye Zhaozhao let out a sigh of relief, then couldn't help but look at Wu Lingchuan.
Although she had saved her life this time, her meridians were completely damaged, her dantian was shattered, and her aptitude had plummeted to rock bottom.
The most terrifying thing was that she couldn't go to the Sword Sect anymore, which meant she couldn't parasitize Li Shuang anymore.
So, should she... find a new host?
Ye Zhaozhao stared blankly at Wu Lingchuan.
