Ye Chenfeng and Tan Yuanwu narrowly escape an ambush by the Blood Demon Green Vine. The vine, nurtured by the Bloodswallow Clan, causes petrification. Wu Lingxiang, Jiang Caixuan, Bai Xiaorou, and Zhao Jinpeng are turned to stone. Old Bai and Old Hei reveal that Bloodswallow Clan blood is needed for restoration within a month, and the main root of the vine must be destroyed before the hostages fully turn to stone.

Based on the cultivators who made their way into the Bloodswallow Clan's ancestral lands this time, it can be inferred that this world must have long since perished. The Clan Leader of the Bloodswallow Clan could distinctly sense the power levels of everyone who entered.

It was evident that all those capable of entering the Bloodswallow Clan's ancestral grounds were now the paramount existences within this world. The absence of even a single individual at the Divine Venerable Realm was enough fuel for numerous speculations by the Clan Leader.

One could even say that the Bloodswallow Clan in the bygone Ancient Era was but a fleeting whisper in time. After such an immense passage of years, it was highly probable that current cultivators would no longer recognize their clan's name.

This premonition was later confirmed when the consciousness of the Bloodswallow Clan stirred once before. As the Clan Leader and within the sanctity of their ancestral land, his consciousness could traverse freely. While keeping a watchful eye on Ye Chenfeng, he also monitored the actions of the other entrants.

Furthermore, the fact that Ye Chenfeng had previously mentioned the Bloodswallow Clan to Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng, neither of whom had ever heard of such a clan, did not escape the Clan Leader's notice. This observation was perceived by the Clan Leader.

Even the experts of the Divine King Realm in this world seemed unaware of the Bloodswallow Clan's existence. This stark reality suggested that their clan's history might have been deliberately expunged and concealed by other races in the distant past.

However, Ye Chenfeng continued to astonish the Bloodswallow Clan Leader with his actions, time and time again. Firstly, Ye Chenfeng appeared remarkably knowledgeable about the Bloodswallow Clan, even aware of their Undying Seal. Then, those billions of Brain-Eating Ghost Insects that entered Ye Chenfeng's body inexplicably vanished. Now, Ye Chenfeng was even privy to the Blood Demon Green Vine cultivated by their clan and its critical vulnerability? All these accumulated circumstances surrounding Ye Chenfeng increasingly convinced the Clan Leader that Ye Chenfeng was no ordinary individual.

Having located the primary root of the Blood Demon Green Vine, Ye Chenfeng sliced his palm open. He was hesitant to get too close to the vine's core and intended to use his blood as an offering. This Blood Demon Green Vine had been nurtured with immense effort by the Bloodswallow Clan. Although it possessed certain limitations, these arose from the clan's insufficient time to fully refine it back then.

Naturally, the Clan Leader of the Bloodswallow Clan had no desire to witness its destruction. His voice resonated frantically within Ye Chenfeng's mind: "Kid, stop, cease your actions immediately."

Ye Chenfeng appeared unmoved by the Clan Leader's desperate plea. With a sharp, decisive movement of his injured palm, he sent droplets of blood flying towards the main root of the Blood Demon Green Vine.

Under Ye Chenfeng's precise control, enabled by his spiritual energy, more than ten drops of blood accurately landed upon the central root of the Blood Demon Green Vine. Ye Chenfeng's blood rapidly seeped into the primary root.

Following the absorption of Ye Chenfeng's blood, the main root of the Blood Demon Green Vine began to convulse violently, emitting a 'zzzz!' sound from its core. Shortly after, the surface of the main root started to wrinkle and contort, as if its internal moisture was rapidly draining away.

The entire main root of the Blood Demon Green Vine withered before their very eyes at an alarming rate. In a mere moment, the entire main root transformed into a desiccated, yellowed husk.

Once the main root had completely withered, the verdant vines extending from it also began to dry up with incredible swiftness. Ultimately, all the Blood Demon Green Vines within this valley were utterly annihilated by Ye Chenfeng.

Witnessing the complete destruction of the Blood Demon Green Vines, Ye Chenfeng gestured towards Tan Yuanwu in the sky and offered a cold chuckle to himself: "Your Bloodswallow Clan has long since faded into history; do you truly believe they would spare me if I had ceased my actions?"

As he sensed the complete desiccation of the Blood Demon Green Vines, the Bloodswallow Clan Leader's demeanor grew surprisingly calm. Yet, his voice, laced with icy menace, echoed in Ye Chenfeng's mind: "Very well, you have performed admirably. You would be wise to live a good life! I find you increasingly possess research value, and perhaps I shall uncover unexpected discoveries from you! Nevertheless, you shall face retribution for all your deeds."

The situation had reached this precipice. The Bloodswallow Clan was destined for revival, and Ye Chenfeng also required their blood. He responded with indifference: "I hold significant interest in your Bloodswallow Clan, particularly your blood. I shall undoubtedly return to claim it then."

The Clan Leader of the Bloodswallow Clan wasn't surprised anymore, acknowledging that Ye Chenfeng surely understood that only the blood unique to their Bloodswallow Clan could undo petrification.

With a cold tone, the Clan Leader of the Bloodswallow Clan declared, "You wish for the blood of our Bloodswallow Clan? I fear that dream will never materialize in this lifetime."

Wasting no further words with the Clan Leader of the Bloodswallow Clan, Ye Chenfeng, constrained by the limitations of the Space Law which prevented him from taking Bai Xiaorou and the others, promptly established a formation at the valley's entrance, effectively shrouding it in concealment.

With the Blood Demon Green Vines gone from the valley, it now offered a secure haven for Bai Xiaorou and the rest.

Upon completing the formation's arrangement, Ye Chenfeng prepared to depart temporarily with Tan Yuanwu.

Suddenly, from the southeastern sky, two dark silhouettes rapidly approached, their imposing auras intensifying, causing both Ye Chenfeng and Tan Yuanwu, who were on the verge of leaving, to frown in unison.

The two approaching shadows seemed to have detected Ye Chenfeng and Tan Yuanwu, as they directly descended before them.

These two dark figures revealed themselves to be two old men in the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm, hailing from a first-rate force within Central State; they were, in fact, the ancestors of that very force.

Furthermore, these two elders bore a striking resemblance, being twins recognized throughout Central State as the Kongming Twins.

The Kongming Twins were merely passing through the region when they chanced upon two discernible auras, prompting their investigation. Upon spotting Ye Chenfeng and Tan Yuanwu, their decision to claim the lives of the pair was instantaneous.

Despite being ancestors of a first-rate force, they were still considerably outmatched by top-tier powers like Xiao Yao Palace, particularly concerning cultivation resources. They harbored a hope of forging a favor with Xiao Yao Palace and similar factions, which they could then leverage for valuable cultivation resources.

Noticing the Kongming Twins, Tan Yuanwu swiftly and quietly apprised Ye Chenfeng of their identities.

It became apparent that to depart from this place, they would first need to overcome these two elders before them.

Ye Chenfeng had yet to engage in a true battle against experts of the Divine King Realm!

Could he possibly withstand the combined might of two Initial Stage Divine King Realm experts?
