A Complicated Situation

In the Red Tree Marsh, within the Spatial Passage in front of the towering Red Tree, branches extend out and slowly unfold like blooming petals, revealing the True Blood Pool and the Blood Source within.

"What about the other Blood Source?" The aged voice echoed in the sky; it belonged to the Red Tree King.

"It was taken by several Human Race," a Nascent Spirit Transformation Red Tree replied.

"Human Race? Capture them and reclaim the Blood Source!"

"They've already escaped. We discovered Formation Space set up by the Human Race on an Island, and there are fluctuations of Spatial Power within it."

"What?!" The Red Tree King was furious, and its blood-red branches danced wildly, making a Lei Ming sound.

At the Blood God Hall, on the Hexagonal Altar, several powerful Sage Manifestation Blood Race all had gloomy faces and ashen expressions, as if they could drip water.

"Yin Wuqi and the others have all perished. Of the two Blood Sources, one fell into the hands of the Red Tree King, and the other is missing." The burly Blood Race spoke in a deep voice, his tone calm, but the anger hidden within seemed capable of burning the Firmament.

"The Red Tree Clan!!" The Sage Manifestation Blood Race were seething with hatred, but in the end they could only sigh in despair, having no good solutions.

"Where is the other Blood Source? Why can't we sense it? Is its fluctuation concealed by the Red Tree King?" a Sage Manifestation Blood Race asked coldly.

"It shouldn't be the Red Tree King. It only wanted to ruin our clan's plans and anger us, so why would it deliberately hide the Blood Source? Someone else must have obtained this Blood Source."

Who could it be?

"The most likely candidates are the Eight Great Forces that control the Blood River Secret Realm."

"Damn it, three thousand years of waiting, only to have it all benefit someone else in the end!"

"Isn't it possible to accurately sense the current location of the Blood Source?"

"The distance is too far, and the senses are blurry; I only have a general direction. Someone is carrying the Blood Source and traveling West at a slow pace, only equivalent to the level of Nascent Soul Great Perfection!"

"The Nascent Soul Great Perfection?" The atmosphere on the field suddenly froze, followed by a surge of anger.

These old Blood Race weren't fools; they quickly realized what was happening.

They are definitely not from Eight Directions Forces; otherwise, why would they allow Nascent Soul Cultivator to leave with the Blood Source?

"To think that a Nascent Soul Cultivator could steal it from us is a disgrace to our clan!"

"Is it really impossible to pinpoint the exact location of the Blood Source?" Sage Manifestation Blood Race, unwilling to give up.

"No, someone has deliberately concealed the aura of the True Blood Pool. It's too far away; I can't sense it!" said one of the older Blood Race Sage Manifestation.

"Can Nascent Soul Cultivator conceal the presence of Sage Manifestation?" The other Blood Race Sage Manifestation frowned.

"It wasn't Nascent Soul Cultivator; it was at least Spirit Transformation cultivator who made the move. The methods they used were quite sophisticated. Given the distance, being able to sense even a general direction is already quite impressive!"

"Spirit Transformation cultivator? Didn't you just say Nascent Soul Cultivator?"

"Could it be that the Spirit Transformation cultivator was severely injured and could only unleash the speed of Nascent Soul Great Perfection?"

"It's very possible. So, does this really mean it's the Eight Great Forces?"

"But why would the Eight Directions Forces flee to other places after obtaining the Blood Source?" a Blood Race Sage Manifestation, puzzled.

"Could it be the Qin Household of Qin Province or the Ye Household of Xuan Province? Neither of their clans has the foundation to achieve Sage Manifestation. After obtaining the Blood Source, they would definitely not dare to stay in their clans for fear of retaliation from my Blood Race!"

These words immediately garnered the approval of the other Blood Race of the Sage Manifestation bloodline.

"The Qin Household, the Ye Household... no matter which family it is, I have set up a restriction on the True Blood Pool. Unless someone of the same level Sage Manifestation, no one can open it!" said an older Sage Manifestation Blood Race.

"So, are the Human Race cultivators carrying the Blood Source flying westward now going to find Sage Manifestation powerhouse to help them open the True Blood Pool?"

"That's probably true!"

" In the West... does the Qin Household or the Ye Household have good relations with any major Human Race power there?"

"The Ye Household has a very good relationship with the Heavenly Sword Pavilion in Shu Province, could it be the Ye Household?"

"Very likely. I'll set off right now and block their path at the gates of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion!"

"That's not appropriate. The Human Race won't allow us to cross the border. There's an agreement from over a decade ago that Sage Manifestation cannot intervene."

"What should we do then?" A Sage Manifestation Blood Race, veins bulging on his forehead, exuded an aura that shook heaven and earth.

"Don't we have the contact information for the Ye Household's higher-ups? Let's negotiate with the Ye Household now and see if we can use other resources to exchange for the Blood Source."

Even if the Ye Household obtains the Blood Source, they will still need to find a Sixth Tier Alchemist and gather a large amount of auxiliary ingredients to refine it into the Sage Manifestation Pill.

"If our clan directly offers a Sage Manifestation Pill and other resources, and then applies pressure, we might be able to exchange it for the Blood Source!" suggested a Sage Manifestation Blood Race.

"Hmm, the Sage Manifestation Pill only increases the breakthrough probability by 20%, while the Blood Source can almost guarantee that we will have one more Sage Manifestation. Moreover, clansmen who break through using the Blood Source will have greater strength and foundation, so it's worth a try!"

"Alright, I'll contact the Ye Household right away, lest they send the Blood Source to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and then it will be too late!"

"Wait a minute, won't doing this make the Ye Household realize that the Blood River Secret Realm can produce Blood Sources?" a Blood Race Sage Manifestation said.

Upon hearing this, the other Sage Manifestation were taken aback, then fell silent again.

Currently, only the Red Tree Clan and the Blood Race know that the Blood River Secret Realm can produce Blood Sources. If the Ye Household also learns of this and tells the Human Race, then it will be extremely difficult for the Blood Race to obtain Blood Sources in the Blood River Secret Realm.

The burly Blood Race leader pondered for a moment and said, "If the Red Tree Clan wants to obtain the Blood Source, they must break through the Dark Space."

In this way, whether the Red Tree Clan continues to occupy the Blood River Secret Realm or the Eight Directions Forces subsequently reclaim it, the matter of the Blood Source will most likely be impossible to keep secret.

Moreover, with Two-World War imminent, the most crucial task at present is to strengthen our clan; everything else can wait."

Upon hearing this, the other members of the Sage Manifestation Blood Race exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the elderly Blood Race Sage Manifestation up, saying, "But we can't directly reveal the existence of the Blood Source to the Ye Household. Let's be vague in our words and test their reaction first. After all, everything before was speculation, without concrete evidence."

"Alright, let me communicate with the Ye Household's higher-ups first!" This was the Sage Manifestation who had previously proposed Blood Exchange the Sage Manifestation Pill for Blood Race resources.

Upon hearing Sage Manifestation, the other Blood Race nodded in agreement.

Xuan Province, the Ye Household!

Ye Wuyou, the patriarch of the Ye family, was somewhat bewildered upon receiving the message from the vampires, not understanding why such an important figure from the vampire clan would suddenly contact him.

However, he frowned, but still took out a mirror-shaped Law Treasure. As his Sage Manifestation Law Power surged out, the figure of the Blood Race appeared on the mirror.

"Patriarch Ye Household..."

Half an hour later, Ye Wuyou's face turned ashen, and he flicked his sleeve to put away the Image-Transmitting Mirror.

"How dare they threaten my Ye Household..." He was furious, but this anger only lasted for a moment. Ye Wuyou frowned, "What is the Blood Race talking about? The treasure produced in the Blood River Secret Realm? The words are ambiguous. This treasure must be very valuable, but why would the Blood Race suddenly bring it up, unless..."

His eyes suddenly blazed with intensity. "That's it! If the Red Tree Clan can invade the Blood River Secret Realm, then the Blood Race certainly can too. Therefore..."

Thinking of this, Ye Wuyou immediately stood up, his figure transforming into Escape Light, and soared into the sky.

Judging from the direction he was flying, it was clearly the location of the Blood River Secret Realm.

On the other side, the expressions of the Blood Race Sage Manifestation were equally grim.

The elderly Blood Race narrowed his eyes. "The Ye Household is still hiding it. It seems our Blood Race's deterrent power isn't enough!"

"No, Ye Wuyou's tone doesn't sound like he's hiding anything; he might not know." The burly Blood Race rested his chin on his hand, a thoughtful glint appearing in his blood-red eyes.

"If it's not the Ye Household, then who could it be? As far as we know, there aren't any Rogue Cultivator Spirit Transformation cultivator have entered the Blood River Secret Realm!"

"Let's wait and see where this thief carrying the Blood Source is headed. If he stays in Shu Province, he must be going to the Ye Household. If he doesn't stay... then we'll have to think about it carefully!" The burly Blood Race sighed.

Ye Wuyou arrived at the Blood River Secret Realm riding his Escape Light and disappeared directly into the Secret Realm's Portal.

As the patriarch of the Ye family and a cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, he was able to utilize almost all of the Ye family's resources. Therefore, without alerting the Red Tree Clan or other Nascent Soul cultivators, he quietly explored the Blood River Secret Realm.

Ten days later, Ye Wuyou arrived at the bottom of the Blood River and discovered Dark Space a large number of Red Tree branches had gathered.

With a slight glint in his eyes, this Ye family patriarch, skilled and daring, boldly barged into the dark space, relying on his strength.

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Wuyou, his expression moved, broke through the layers of Red Tree branches that blocked his way and left the place.

He has discovered the secret of the Dark Space: the higher one's cultivation level, the more one can sense the special nature of this space.

Not to mention, the Blood Source had only been taken away a few days ago, and it still retained an extremely rich aura of the Blood Path Origin.

Furthermore, Ye Wuyou also discovered traces of the great battle between the Blood Race and the Red Tree Clan.

Combining this with the fact that the Blood Race had previously Sage Manifestation and contacted him, he came to several startling conclusions.

First, the Blood River Secret Realm can generate Blood Source.

Secondly, the Blood Source must have been stolen by someone else, and it wasn't the Red Tree Clan who did it; it must have been someone else.

Third, like the Blood Race Red Tree Clan, the Vampires can use special means to enter the Blood River Secret Realm.

"I never expected that the Blood River Secret Realm could actually produce Blood Source..." Ye Wuyou thought to himself as he flew, considering whether he should reveal this news to the other Eight Directions Forces.

After careful consideration, Ye Wuyou murmured to himself, "I won't reveal it for now. I'll send someone to investigate and see if we can find out where the Blood Source is before making a decision. However, we can't easily give up the Blood River Secret Realm to the Red Tree Clan."
