So far, nobody like that had ever appeared in the Holy Sun Continent before!

It was not like there had never been a bloodier and crueler event in the past. It was just that no one had destroyed everyone the same way that Lu Xuan did.

Such will and ability were enough to show how horrifying Lu Xuan was.

Many people saw Lu Xuan as a terrifying demon crawling out of Hell.

“Even so, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what he did. As a descendant of the sacred ancestor, Liu Haotian has the blood of the sacred ones. What kind of treatment he has received up until now? If it were me, I would’ve been even crueler than Lu Xuan!”

“It’s probably because so many years have passed that many people have forgotten about the Holy Sun Continent. Without the bloody battles from the sacred ancestor and their successive sacred ones, would we be able to live such stable lives today? I’m afraid we would have become the blood slaves of the blood devils. It is very miserable to be a blood slave. Just look at those blood slaves of the Divine Blood Church!”

“Anyone bold enough to attack a descendant of the sacred ones must want to die!”

Many people were shocked by Lu Xuan’s fierce methods, but more people from the lower class did not think so. Every day, they learned about how the sacred ones had saved the world.

Now, a descendant of the sacred ones was close to being killed. If it was an ordinary descendant of the sacred ones, then people would not be paying so much attention. However, this boy had awakened the blood of the sacred ones.

The people on the Holy Sun Continent knew that the descendants of the sacred ones who had not yet awakened the blood were nothing. Only those who had wakened the blood of the sacred ones were considered valuable.

Only they deserved to be called sacred ones. Therefore, the public did not know about many descendants of the sacred ones. By people’s calculations, there were most likely less than 30 descendants since thousands of years ago till now.

Each of them was very important to the Holy Sun Continent!

One event could cause a huge commotion!

At that moment, many people were gathered in the central mountain gate of the Immemorial Path that was located in the north of the continent.

As the best sect throughout the entire continent, there was naturally more than one mountain gate. However, the most important one was the central mountain gate located in the north of the continent.

If one looked down from the top of the mountain, it was like a continuous cluster of cities. With the Immemorial Path’s mountain as the core, there were nine huge super cities in total. People who resided in these cities were the disciples of the entire Immemorial Path, as well as their families.

Inside a hall within the central mountain gate of the Immemorial Path, people were sitting on chairs that were usually vacant.

A group of Taoist Priests dressed in robes, both middle-aged and old, were gathered together.

There were hundreds of people, each of whom was at least in the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Any two of them could’ve destroyed a small family like the Jiang family by themselves.

Hundred of such experts were part of the Immemorial Path.

The people gathered were only those who had rushed here after getting the news. The only people who gathered there were the ones who rushed to this place after receiving the news. It did not include the leaders of the local areas and the experts who were undergoing private training. Otherwise, the number of people present could’ve easily been doubled.

Experts who were below the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm were not even qualified to participate in such meetings.

These people were the top among all elders, who held a great deal of power in the Immemorial Path.

Normally, there were very few occasions where so many elders needed to be gathered. However, the matter this time was serious enough for them to do just that.

Aside from the elders undergoing private training, the leaders also wanted to come. However, they still had the important task of being in charge of their mountain gate.

This was because the matter this time was very important.

According to the news they received, this incident involved the legendary bloodline of the sacred ones.

The last time the bloodline of the sacred ones suddenly appeared had caused a commotion throughout the entire Immemorial Path.

Later, the person with the blood of the sacred ones disappeared, which caused a huge stir in the Immemorial Path. This had happened decades ago.

A few decades afterward, the bloodline of the sacred ones had reappeared.

This time, it had appeared in the Liu family, which was almost extinct at this point.

“I didn’t expect to see the awakening of the bloodline again!”

“I don’t think that’s a good thing. After all, the awakening of the bloodline is often accompanied by huge events!”

Some elders felt that the awakening of the blood of the sacred ones was not a good thing.

They thought about the events that had accompanied the awakening of the bloodline in the past. Aside from the young lady of the Liu family who had suddenly awakened the blood and disappeared, most awakenings occurred when the blood devils invaded the Holy Sun Continent; the entire continent had been facing destruction.

Many people secretly speculated that the blood of the sacred ones was the blood of God, the Holy Sun Continent’s embodiment of the world’s will. It would appear to fight against foreign enemies such as blood devils.

Many people thought this way, regarding anyone with the blood of the sacred ones to have been their savior. However, many other people saw the bloodline as an indicator of disaster.

Right now, the blood of the sacred ones was once against awakened. Many people believed that this may have been accompanied by the occurrence of some irresistible events.

Suddenly, the scene fell dead quiet.

As a healthy old Taoist dressed in a robe walked in, everyone stood up in unison.

“Greetings Head Elder!”

One by one, everyone saluted the elder. This old Taoist was none other than Xuanyangzi, the top expert in both the Immemorial Path and the entire Holy Sun Continent.

“Please be at ease!”

Xuanyangzi nodded and sat down in his seat.

“All of you probably know why you have gathered here today. It is because of the reappearance of the blood of the sacred ones. Right now, Shi Buyi is bringing him here along with that man named Lu Xuan. It won’t be long before they arrive!”

The group of elders looked at Xuanyangzi and waited for him to continue.

Xuanyangzi then said, “By now, you all are well aware of what the blood of the sacred ones means to us. There is no need for me to repeat the purpose of our establishment. Therefore, I decided to personally accept this boy as my apprentice and train him into the next Head Elder of the Immemorial Path!”

Xuanyangzi’s words immediately caused an uproar.

The crowd of elders began to quarrel amongst themselves. Not only was Xuanyangzi strong, but he was also the most powerful ancestor of the Immemorial Path. If Xuanyangzi accepted the boy with the blood of the sacred ones as his disciple, then the boy would become the elders’ senior. This was not good.

More importantly, Xuanyangzi wanted to appoint the boy as the next Head Elder of the Immemorial Path. This would hinder many people’s plans.

That was when one elder stood up and said, “I don’t think that’s a good idea Head Elder! The bloodline of the sacred ones…”

Xuanyangzi furrowed his eyebrows and waved his hand. He had directly suppressed the elder that spoke. Xuanyangzi then said, “You guys don’t have to say anything more. I’ve made up my mind. When they arrive, I will personally accept the boy as my disciple. Nobody needs to persuade me of anything. I’m merely informing all of you of what I’m planning to do!”
