Yao Si felt her entire body rise. The next moment, she was smashed straight back against the ground. The impact was excruciating, and she even heard the sound of her joints shifting. Even though she knew she had to fight back, an irresistible force had pinned her down, robbing her of the ability to react.
This is… bloodline suppression!
She felt the grip around her neck tighten as the person lifted her up by it. Her breathing choked up as the force around her neck started to increase!
It hurts!
She was aware that she was no longer on the planet she’d been before. The moment the stranger had caught hold of her, a portal had opened once again, and he took her through it. All of that was to gain enough time to kill her.
She was suddenly reminded of Qu Ze’s words. He had mentioned that the target of all Euphoria’s recent activities had been her. So regardless of whether it was the doomsday virus or the exploding meteorites or this—all of it was just to kill her. She had always been their target.
The force on her neck began to increase, to the point that even her vision started to blur. She could vaguely make out a sword made of congealed blood come slashing at her chest. This was the only way to kill a bloodling, by using the blood of their kinsmen. Yao Si felt like her flesh was being ripped apart when the sword pierced her chest.
Am I really going to die?
Yao Si lifted her head instinctively, but her vision was already blurry. Maybe due to the anxiety of an impending death, her mental strength exploded, allowing her to see through the other’s barrier made by mental strength. The face in front of her shocked her.
“Brother… Li?!”
The man froze, and the death grip on her neck loosened slightly. After half a second, he exhaled, but his hands remained relentless. “Eh… you recognized me after all. Wouldn’t it have been better for you to just leave silently without any worries?”
It really was him, but how could it be?! Was he really the Li Zheng from the past that sold duck blood, the first one that realized who she was, the person who introduced her to the bloodlings?
She suddenly understood why there was a traitor within and why the fourth elder hadn’t been able to say a word. It was because Li Zheng was from the fourth generation, just like Mu Xuan!
Bloodlings within the first ten generations possessed absolute bloodline suppression, able to force those with less pure bloodlines into submission without them being able to rebel. Even if they knew it was wrong, they could only act as per orders.
“Why?” Never would have Yao Si expected that the person who was against them might be someone so familiar. And from the looks of things, he seemed to have recognized her as well. So why then… did he want to kill her?
“Blame yourself for being Mu Xuan’s cub.” He tightened the grip on her neck. “I have planned for so many years and failed so many times. But right now, I have finally understood. There is only one way to make the entire bloodling race disappear. I’m aware that I don’t have that ability, for it is something only Mu Xuan can achieve! I have been enduring the pain of losing my cub for millions of years, and now it is his turn to experience such pain.”
His intention was to kill her so that Mu Xuan would take revenge against the society?
At that thought, a memory came to her. It was about the time when Nephew Gu had wanted to die when Luo Ying had been infected. He’d been on the verge of a breakdown at that point, and if he’d had Mu Xuan’s abilities, killing an entire race wouldn’t have been impossible!
