39 -38: Betrayers of the human race, kill!_1
Blue Blood dyed the azure sky.
Dozens of ten thousand tribe people of the Bloodfallen Tribe were caught in an inescapable slaugter by the alien army.
Despite their numerical disadvantage, these hot-blooded forefathers did not become deserters or surrender to the brutal alien beasts.
Even in the face of defeat, the splendid human race, fueled by their passion, continued their bitter existence within the Great Wasteland, persevering through the epoch of a million years, their blood streams coursing with the determination to never surrender.
Within the span of a hundred years of a human life, there are always some things that must be defended.
Even if it means dying in battle for the sake of protecting their homeland, it is a death worth pride in the eyes of heaven, earth, and the ancestral spirits.
Just like the Bloodfallen Tribe, their lifeblood dyed their nurturing earth red.
Their loyal souls continue to stand guard here, a pledge forever engraved deep within their souls.
The tragic scene unfolded repeatedly, over and over again in front of Xiao Chen.
He found himself lost in this melancholic scenario, unable to withdraw.
Seemingly after a long period of time, the mist thick with fresh blood began to thin out.
When the bloody mist became extremely sparse, the warrior souls that continued to fight instantaneously vanished.
It was then that Xiao Chen realized, to his surprise, that day had already dawned.
“Ah!” Recovering himself, Xiao Chen felt a tinge of horror.
He had been engrossed in this apparition for an entire day and night.
For a cultivator of martial arts like himself, this was an extremely terrifying occurrence.
“Xiao Clan Leader, do not fret.
The mist contains some kind of hallucinatory substance which unknowingly ensnares people within it.”
Seeing the sudden change in Xiao Chen’s eyes, the elderly man Hu Guyue did not have to ponder much to guess what he was thinking.
After all, with age comes wisdom.
His hundred years were not spent in vain.
He possessed the broad understanding that came with experience.
Xiao Chen was burdened by regret.
He blamed himself for being negligent in this strange place, for losing himself.
He was grateful that no accident took place.
This served as a wakeup call for him.
These days, after successively defeating three Blood Refining Realm warriors and averting the annihalation of the Gu Yuan Clan, he had failed to observe – even Xiao Chen himself did not realize – that he had subtly become somewhat arrogant.
For a warrior, even a moment’s loss of focus may result in the loss of life.
After all, the continent is fraught with peril.
Every warrior must remember, neglecting the fight is perilous; it’s not only true for the clans.
Recognizing the elder’s words, Xiao Chen understood that the elder had not been swayed by the sorrow of the Bloodfallen land, rather he had been standing in his spot, protecting him throughout the night.
This made Xiao Chen feel a bit embarrassed.
“Is it very tragic?
This Bloodfallen tribe is just a microcosm of our human race living within the Great Wasteland.
Such incidents are constantly taking place on this continent.
Take no heed of my expression.” Hu Guyue looked somewhat lost, the bitterness distinctly evident in his voice.
“Neither did I intentionally wake you, for I wanted you to understand how difficult it is for our human tribes to survive on this continent.
We struggle against the heavens, the earth, and compete with the Hundred Clans for survival.
We face crises of life and death at every moment.
Xiao Chen, your martial arts talent is exceptional.
You can be called a prodigy of our generation.
I hope, one day, you can use your war spear to carve out a peaceful territory for the human race, vanquishing all these damnable aliens.”
The elderly man’s last words seemed to echo throughout the area.
After a long history of trials and tribulations, the elderly man, who had witnessed much hardship over the years, had seen too much of life and death – for the human race to win a place of survival, too much had been sacrificed.
Yet, to ensure the continuation of the human race, the younger generation needs to fearlessly charge forward.
This is the great cause of the human race.
“Xiao Chen, being part of the human race, should contribute to this great cause of the human race.”
As the blood mist faded and became extremely sparse, visibility improved.
The surrounding ruins were once again visible to the two men.
The scene from the night before seemed as if it had never occurred, appearing like a dream that evaporated like bubbles.
“So, passing through the relics of the Bloodfallen Tribe, we will reach the unnamed hill?”
“Correct, just around ten miles outside of the tribe, there lies the unnamed hill.
I hope the Purple Blood Vine grows on the hill.
This vine has branches but no leaves, shaped like entwining roots with a faint purple color.
It has segments like bamboo.
It grows as long as a finger every ten years and after a hundred years, it becomes potent enough for medicine.
It has an unmatched fondness for Blood Qi, and usually grows on hills enveloped in Blood Qi.” Xiao Chen answered without hesitation at the elderly man’s query.
Following that, the two of them quickly traversed the ruined relics and rushed towards the outside of the Bloodfallen tribe area.
After a few leaps, their figures disappeared.
About a quarter of an hour later, from the place where the two men had been standing before, the sound of falling stones echoed.
Not far from the corner of a collapsing city wall, branches and fallen leaves resting on the pile of rocks began to fall batchwise.
Accompanied by the scattering of stones, two humanoid figures emerged from the pile of rocks.
Their skin was black and shiny, causing an eerie feeling.
And what was even more strange was that their eyes were blood red and filled with a touch of fanaticism.
“What a bummer, originally thought we had bumped into two two-legged sheep, could have a feast.
Eating frugal every day, nothing compares to the taste of human flesh.”
“If you wanted to eat, why didn’t you step up and catch these two-legged sheep?
Instead, you hid in the stone heap.
Seeing them walk away, you just grumble.” Hearing his companion’s constant grumbling, another man with a copper ring on his nose ridiculed without hesitation.
In response to his companion’s ridicule, this man said somewhat proudly, “You think I’m an idiot, these two are clearly martial arts masters, perhaps even Blood Refining Realm warriors.
I’ll eat anything, but I won’t suffer a loss.
When I meet people I can’t afford to provoke, I steer clear.
This is why I’ve been able to survive so many years being hunted by humans.”
“Looking at the direction those two are heading in, they seem to be moving towards our unnamed little mountain.
Could it be they’ve discovered our settlement?”
“So what if they have?
Our settlement has two Blood Refining Realm priests, along with nearly a hundred Bone-Tempering Realm warriors.
Once they enter, they’ll find no exit, even if they had wings they could not escape.
Remember the last time, a bunch of overconfident guys tried and ended up being completely devoured by us.”
“Right, right, let them come regret later.
The Blood God Ancestor’s power is boundless!
Haha…”
The two burst out laughing, one after another they rushed in the direction Xiao Chen had left.
“These are the dregs of my human clan–a pack of beasts who abandon their ancestors and worship alien gods, adopting their cruel and bloody ways, thrown into a state of being neither human nor ghost.”
The two, who were merrily making their plans, were totally unaware that their every move was being observed from a distance.
Underneath a decrepit stone house not far from them, Xiao Chen and Hu Guyue stood together, watching their every move.
As soon as Xiao Chen and Hu Guyue had entered the city ruins, they had detected the two’s presence.
Despite the blood mist pervading the area, as alchemists, their soul perception was strong.
Even if they were visually impaired, they were able to perceive everything around them through their senses.
Naturally, these two disgusting creatures hiding in the shadows were thoroughly seen through by them.
“Human tribal traitors?”
At the mention of this from the elder, Xiao Chen’s face showed a touch of confusion as he tried to recall information about these human tribal traitors.
“The path of martial arts is too elusive, preventing countless people from advancing to higher realms, only to despairingly turn into dry bones.
Therefore, some unscrupulous individuals within the human tribe have turned to selling their souls for longevity, pledging loyalty to alien races and adopting a savage and bloody approach.”
The path of martial arts is formidably difficult.
Cang Tian gives countless people hope, only to ruthlessly shatter it.
Evidently, this has driven people to utter madness.
As the two figures walked into the distance, Xiao Chen and Hu Guyue gazed at each other and followed, striding to catch up from afar.
Seeing that the direction the two were heading was the same as the direction they were going, both Xiao Chen and Hu Guyue laughed and thought they had hit two birds with one stone.
As the edge of the city’s unnamed mountain drew closer, the previously flat path became uneven and difficult to navigate.
The two human traitors became increasingly cautious and even circled a pile of chaotic stones repeatedly, seemingly trying to shake off someone.
This portrayed their high level of vigilance.
Xiao Chen demonstrated great patience towards these two suspicious individuals.
No matter how the two dodged and evaded, he continued relentlessly pursuing them.
Finally, the two decided that they were safe, and approached a giant stone.
They pushed it aside, revealing a pitch-black mountain cave which they quickly entered.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen and Hu Guyue knew they had found their den.
The two, bold in art and craft, didn’t hesitate and stepped into the pitch-black cave.
Traitors to the human clan must be killed!

Seeing the pitiful number of recommendation votes, I feel like crying.
I roll around begging for votes.
