At this thought, Blood Calamity shuddered in alarm.
Come to think of it, Lu Ye really might have secretly poisoned him. The crucial point was that Lu Ye's poison was formless and invisible, concealed to the extreme. He had no ability to tell truth from falsehood.
"Blood Lord doesn't seem to want Xue Yuan's bloodline?"
Just as all sorts of thoughts churned through Blood Calamity's mind, Lu Ye suddenly spoke. "Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Blood Calamity was startled and hurriedly said, "How could that be! I... I was merely overwhelmed by joy. I never expected that we would truly kill Xue Yuan so easily!"
Secretly, he cursed. Lu Ye had surely seen through his reservations and deliberately said this, nothing more than forcing him to make a choice quickly.
What choice could he make?
He had no choice at all!
The greatest purpose of this ambush against Xue Yuan had been to seize his bloodline. Now that Xue Yuan was dead, how could Blood Calamity possibly give it up?
Gritting his teeth, Blood Calamity said, "Fellow Daoists, please stand guard for a while. Let me first collect Xue Yuan's bloodline!"
In that short time, he had thought it through. Since he had no choice, there was no need to overthink it. He was already poisoned, so a little more made no difference. As the saying went, many debts caused no worry, and many lice caused no itch. Lu Ye would ultimately need his strength. So long as he did not entertain any crooked thoughts, that poison would not have much effect on him anyway.
As Blood Calamity was about to collect Xue Yuan's bloodline, Lu Ye and Si Shengya naturally withdrew from the Blood Sea and found a nearby place to rest and recover.
