“Who’s Tai Shan?” Lu Ye glanced at the middle-aged man.

“Don’t you know him?”

Lu Ye shook his head. He had never heard of the name Tai Shan, nor did he have any idea why this man suddenly brought up that person.

The middle-aged man furrowed his brows, reckoning that this young man didn’t seem to be lying. As he observed Lu Ye with his Divine Ego, there was no way a Real Lake Realm Master could lie in front of him. Therefore, the young man truly didn’t know who Tai Shan was.

Anyway, it didn’t mean he hadn’t seen him before. That was because only this middle-aged man and Tai Shan knew how to make Dao Troopers. Back then, the two of them had come together to discuss how to craft Dao Troopers.

However, the middle-aged man felt that the way Dao Troopers were made was against nature, so he gave up on it.

Now, it seemed that Tai Shan had used that skill. The Dao Trooper sitting on the ground was undoubtedly made by Tai Shan. That was why the middle-aged man could easily subdue him. Otherwise, he couldn’t have made Dao Thirteen fall asleep with only a finger regardless of how powerful he was.

For people like them, it was easy to kill an enemy, but it would take them a much greater effort to subdue the other party.

Since this young man had brought the Dao Trooper made by Tai Shan with him and he knew the next sentence after ‘Blood Flows on Infinitely’, his identity was obvious.

[But he’s pretty weak… Is he the helper sent from the homeland?]

“Which part of Jiu Zhou are you from?” asked the middle-aged man.

Lu Ye’s pupils dilated as disbelief was written all over his face. He stared dazedly at the middle-aged man, thinking that he had misheard him. He asked with uncertainty, “What did you just say?”

The middle-aged man smiled and asked again, “Which part of Jiu Zhou are you from? What’s your Sect?”

Even though Lu Ye was usually a sedate person, he was astonished.

He had never expected to hear anyone bringing up Jiu Zhou in Blood Refinement Boundary. As many thoughts turned over in his mind, he soon came to his senses. “Senior, are you from Jiu Zhou?”

The middle-aged man nodded. “Besides me, all of them are from Jiu Zhou as well.”

Behind him, Jian Gugong and the others looked at Lu Ye with squinted eyes.

They had speculated that Lu Ye came from Jiu Zhou. That was because there was no way a Dao Trooper existed in Blood Refinement Boundary. What was more, he was a Divine Ocean Realm Master. Dao Troopers were only born in Jiu Zhou.

However, since they hadn’t verified this matter, they didn’t tell Lu Ye anything. They had decided to bring Lu Ye back to Crimson Blood Holy Land and ask him questions.

When they saw his reaction, they knew their speculation was right. This young man indeed came from Jiu Zhou.

Lu Ye was surprised to meet people from his homeland in this world. Even though he was much younger and weaker than these people, he instantly developed an affinity for them. His emotions were undulating in his heart at that moment.

He soon realised that since the Heavens of Jiu Zhou could send him to Blood Refinement Boundary, other people could’ve been sent to this world in the same way.

Now, it seemed that some cultivators from Jiu Zhou had been sent to this world before Lu Ye. Only cultivators from Jiu Zhou had the courage and power to establish a Human great force in Divine Palace Sea to go against the Blood Race.

Lu Ye released the hilt of the Inviolable Saber and let out a breath. Suppressing his excitement, he cupped his fists. “Greetings, Seniors. I’m Lu Ye from the Crimson Blood Sect in Bing Zhou.”

Upon hearing that, Jian Guhong and the others were startled for a moment before turning to look at the middle-aged man, who was astounded as well. He stepped forward and grabbed Lu Ye’s arms. “Are you from the Crimson Blood Sect in Bing Zhou? The Crimson Blood Sect of Mount Ao?”

“Yes.” Lu Ye was puzzled as to why this person was agitated.

Given his cultivation, he should always be calm and collected. He would remain unperturbed even if it was the end of the world. However, his breathing had become unstable, which showed that he was agitated.

“Who’s the Sect Master of the Crimson Blood Sect now?” asked the middle-aged man, his voice slightly shaking.

“Our Sect Master is Tang Yi Feng.”

“How is he doing?”

“He’s doing well.” Lu Ye frowned as the other man grabbed his arms too tightly.

The middle-aged man realised that as well, so he released Lu Ye and nodded repeatedly. “I’m glad he’s doing well!”

Lu Ye was shocked and doubtful. He figured that this person must have something to do with the Crimson Blood Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost his composure, considering his cultivation. However, it was a wonder why he missed the Crimson Blood Sect and the Sect Master so much.

“Senior, who are you?”

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and put on a bright smile. “I’m Feng Wujiang. Have you heard of my name before?”

Lu Ye was startled for a moment before blurting, “No way!”

Feng Wujiang was a household name. Lu Ye already heard of the name not long after he became a cultivator. As his power increased, he gradually realised the weight the name carried.

It could be said that the name Feng Wujiang represented an era. Besides Lu Ye, everyone in Jiu Zhou knew who Feng Wujiang was.

It was thanks to Feng Wujiang that the Crimson Blood Sect rose to prominence, but he was also the one who caused the Sect’s downfall.

Due to Feng Wujiang’s achievements, the Crimson Blood Sect managed to become a Tier-One Sect. After he passed away, the Sect gradually went to the dogs, and his toxic legacy lived on. On the Spirit Creek Battlefield and Cloud River Battlefield, Lu Ye was hunted down by those from Thousand Demon Ridge. Even when he joined the Bing Zhou Watch, he was targeted by the Divine Ocean Realm Masters from the same side because of Feng Wujiang.

Lu Ye had mixed feelings for Feng Wujiang. He naturally admired him, but he also blamed him for causing the Sect’s downfall.

He knew little about what had happened back then as no one told him about it. Nevertheless, the Sect’s terrible situation was largely due to Feng Wujiang.

The Heavens had even almost excluded the Crimson Blood Sect from the rankings before Lu Ye joined it.

As many thoughts turned over in Lu Ye’s mind, he glanced at the person before his eyes with a frown. “Don’t lie to me. My Eldest Senior Brother passed away almost 40 years ago.”

Jian Guhong said, “The people you see before your eyes used to be dead.”

“What do you mean?” Lu Ye turned to look at him.

Jian Guhong replied, “I’m the fifth Sword Master of the Northern Profound Sword Clan.”

The Spell Cultivator said with a smile, “I’m the seventh Clan Master of the Thousand Spell Clan in Lei Zhou, Yue Ji.”

Even the Body-tempering Cultivator, who had remained silent all along, said, “I’m the third Sect Master of the Righteous Sect in Bing Zhou, Meng Jie.”

The Ghost Cultivator Wu Chang grinned. “I’m not any Sect Master as I’m just an independent cultivator. It’s pointless for me to tell you my background because I’m sure you know nothing about it.” It was a wonder how much truth there was in his words. Anyway, Ghost Cultivators usually kept a low profile, so it wasn’t surprising that Wu Chang wanted to hide his background from other people.

Lu Ye was flabbergasted upon hearing what they had said.

He had no idea during what eras these people held the positions of Sect Masters, but those Sects in Jiu Zhou apparently had a far longer history as many generations had passed. In other words, these were all ancient people who had lived for hundreds of years or even longer.

Lu Ye was familiar with the Northern Profound Sword Clan and the Righteous Sect as they were Tier-One Sects of the Grand Sky Coalition in Bing Zhou.

He had also come into contact with those from the Thousand Spell Clan in Lei Zhou before. Back then on the Spirit Creek Battlefield, he had blackmailed all the Sects from Thousand Demon Ridge in the Core Circle. The Thousand Spell Clan was from Thousand Demon Ridge!

In Jiu Zhou, the two sides had always been at war, but in Blood Refinement Boundary, powerful cultivators from the two sides could co-exist peacefully and work for the same person, which was strange.

Anyway, it wasn’t surprising. That was because this world wasn’t Jiu Zhou; it was Blood Refinement Boundary which was ruled by the Blood Race. Be they from the Grand Sky Coalition or Thousand Demon Ridge, they were all Human cultivators in this world.

It was no wonder Jian Guhong, Wu Chang, and Meng Jie appeared old, for they had lived for many years. Only Yue Ji had a way to preserve her youth since she was a woman. Although it was hard to tell how old she was, she might not be younger than the other people.

There was no doubt the Heavens of Jiu Zhou had sent these people to this world. Moreover, they weren’t sent here at the same time. They were brought to this world one by one at different times.

In that case, the Heavens of Jiu Zhou must have located Blood Refinement Boundary long ago, and it had been trying to save the Humans in this world. Although there were some achievements, it still couldn’t change how things worked in this world.

There was one thing Lu Ye was puzzled about. Divine Ocean Realm Masters generally lived a long life as they could live for over 1,000 years. Even if their lifespan was shortened due to various reasons, they could still easily live for hundreds of years.

Since the two sides in Jiu Zhou were always at war, some Divine Ocean Realm Masters would inevitably be killed. Nevertheless, there was no way all the Divine Ocean Realm Masters from every era were dead, especially Divine Ocean Realm Masters like Feng Wujiang who were the most influential figures in their respective eras.

If they were not dead, where were they? Some people might be on a retreat, trying to figure out the secrets beyond the Divine Ocean Realm. They wouldn’t easily get out of their retreat. It was also possible that some were selected by the Heavens and sent to this world.

Only then did Lu Ye realise why Jian Guhong and the others were so powerful. Even though there were only a few of them, they had the guts to clash with several hundred thousand Blood Race members and slaughter them.

That was because they were no ordinary Divine Ocean Realm Masters. Every one of them used to be the strongest cultivator in their era. Only people like them would be selected by the Heavens and sent to this world.

Although Lu Ye had no idea what price the Heavens had to pay for sending a person to this world, it must be a huge one. Therefore, the Heavens wouldn’t select ordinary cultivators.

No one in Jiu Zhou knew about this, so they thought that these people were dead.

When Lu Ye looked at Feng Wujiang again, he finally realised why he found him familiar at first glance. It was because Feng Yuechan was his Daughter, so it was only natural that they shared some similarities.

While he was in a dazed state, Yue Ji suddenly pointed in a particular direction. “Look over there.”

Lu Ye turned his head and saw an old woman with white hair and a hunched back hobbling forward in the distance while using a crutch. Her entire figure was trembling. It was as though she would fall to the ground at any moment.

“Don’t be fooled by her appearance. She’s Grandma Jiu, the second Valley Master of Royal Medicine Valley. She’s the oldest among us as she has lived for over 1,000 years. Don’t ever offend her, or you’ll die a horrible death. She was already a famous person when I was growing up.”
