The Bingzhou army battalion had been trying its best to hide its presence, supporting the Sacred Land with a gradual trickle approach, continually adding small forces into the defense lineup, fearing that the Blood clan army might notice something.

However, after the Blood clan army suddenly intensified their attack, the Bingzhou army battalion could no longer remain hidden and had to rush all at once to first hold the line before discussing further actions.

This change could not be concealed from the investigation by the Blood clan side. It is foreseeable that it won't take long before the Blood clan launches a full-scale attack. At that time, those appearing on the battlefield will not just be the cannon fodder of the Blood clan but those Blood Race cultivators with real strength and capability. Even the Sacred Seeds will have to come out and fight bare-chested.

The old predecessors from the Sacred Land were quite worried because they knew the power of the Sacred Seeds.

On the contrary, the strong ones on the Bingzhou army battalion's side were all eager to fight, full of war spirit. Using the phrase "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers" to describe them wouldn't be quite right, but that's roughly the state they were in.

Only Lu Ye, quietly awaited, waited for an opportunity to surprise those Sacred Seeds!

While the battle here was in full swing, at the Lock Horns Grotto Heaven, the allied forces of the Righteous Blood Sect and Ziwei Dao Palace also set off under the leadership of Shui Yuan and Pang Huanyin.

What they needed to do was simple: wipe out all Blood Race gathering spots in this area, exterminating all encountered Blood Race.

With Lann Qiyue overseeing, achieving this was not difficult, it just required some time.

Moreover, because the Blood Race side lacked suitable communication channels, the transmission of information was far slower than in the Nine Provinces.

If such a domain invasion were to happen in the Nine Provinces, the whole nation would be informed immediately, but in the Blood Refinement World here, until now, most of the Blood Race were still indifferent, completely unaware that numerous cultivators from another domain had already appeared throughout the Blood Refinement World.

This gave the visitors from the Nine Provinces a chance to eliminate them one by one. Of course, the process might not be that smooth, but it was already difficult for the Blood Race to organize a large-scale confrontation unless they had the ability to quickly spread the news of the great enemy invasion.

The doppelganger did not go with the group action, he stayed in the Lock Horns Grotto Heaven, sitting quietly in front of the Heaven's Augury Pillar, waiting patiently.

The Sacred Seeds in the Southern Territory mostly gathered in the Empyrean Sea, where the real body would handle, but the Northern Territory wasn't like this. More Sacred Seeds were scattered across various Sacred Lands, and the Nine Provinces cultivators were bound to encounter them.

Facing strong opponents of the Sacred Seed class, ordinary cultivators were not opponents at all. Even those of Level 9 couldn't match, only those old predecessors had the qualification to contend with the Sacred Seeds.

Under such circumstances, the existence of Lu Ye's doppelganger became very significant. He was stationed here, ready to support various places at any time, as a backup guarantee.

This was also why he instructed Shui Yuan to communicate everywhere, to immediately spread the word upon discovering any Sacred Seed.

To be safe, he had previously conducted an experiment with Lann Qiyue to confirm that even the doppelganger possessed the same saintliness as the main body.

This was normal, after all, Lu Ye's doppelganger always possessed all the traits of the main body, saintliness included. It's just because there was only one Boulder Mountain Saber, so the doppelganger always presented himself as a sword cultivator.

While waiting, the main body received a message.

Lu Ye investigated, and the doppelganger immediately stood up, transmitting through the Heaven's Augury Pillar, arriving at a place called Grey Bamboo Grotto Heaven, which was where he had previously set up the Heaven's Augury Pillar.

This place had clearly experienced a fierce battle, with marks of combat all around. When Lu Ye arrived, the area was desolate, without the slightest sign of life, as apparently all the Nine Provinces cultivators who came here had already dispersed.

He quickly discerned the direction, soared into the sky, and flew directly to the southwest, transforming into a stream of red light.

At the same time, tens of thousands of miles to the southwest, outside the Jade Kirin Sacred Land of the Blood Race, a blood river hung in the air, and from within that blood river came the sound of intense fighting. Judging from the noise, it wasn't just two combatants, but several.

It was evident that Jade Kirin Saintly Venerable was fighting against many!

Three people from the Divine Sea Realm were participating in the siege against him, one from Loyal Heart Sect, one from Imperial Wings Sect, and one from Burning Sky Sect.

These three sects were all 2nd grade sects, with Loyal Heart Sect located in Bingzhou, Imperial Wings Sect in Leizhou, and Burning Sky Sect in Youzhou.

These three sects, along with other sects' cultivators, had transmitted to the Grey Bamboo Grotto Heaven, and after annihilating the Blood Race there, they divided their forces in multiple directions, advancing to exterminate Blood Race along the way.

Previously, these three sects had not had any dealings, being located in different provincial states, making cross-interaction difficult. This time, they joined forces because Imperial Wings Sect accidentally stumbled upon the Jade Kirin Sacred Land, noticing a significant number of Blood Race with strong power, so they transmitted messages all over, summoning nearby cultivators from Loyal Heart Sect and Burning Sky Sect to prepare for a joint operation.

When Lu Ye was in the Nine Provinces, he had already publicized the prowess of the Sacred Seeds, so the strong cultivators from several sects did not underestimate Jade Kirin Saintly Venerable. But in the actual fight, they realized the difficulty of dealing with the Blood Race Sacred Seed.

Just the Blood River Technique kept them at bay, feeling restrained.

All the cultivators participating in the siege against Jade Kirin Saintly Venerable were of the Divine Sea Level 9, yet even so, they were passive and each got wounded. They wanted to escape from the blood river as soon as they noticed something was wrong, but entering the blood river was easy; getting out was not that simple?

If this continued, they feared for their lives, and once they fell, their sects would no longer be able to contend with Jade Kirin Saintly Venerable, leading to countless casualties.

For a moment, regret consumed them. Lu Yiye had clearly warned about the power of the Sacred Seed, and they had already received messages to inform everyone immediately upon encountering a Sacred Seed. But stubbornly, they didn't heed the warnings, and now, caught between a rock and a hard place, their lives were in peril, even dragging the cultivators of their sect into danger.

The Blood Rivers floating in the sky were not just one or two, but many. After all, this was one of the Blood Race's most relied-upon blood techniques. It's said that as long as a Blood Race member's cultivation reaches a certain level, they can wield this technique.

Aside from the Blood River wielded by Jade Kirin Saintly Venerable, in the other blood rivers, the human race cultivators were locked in combat with the Blood Race. Blood rivers were continually disintegrating in mid-air, bodies cascading down, silhouettes of human cultivators emerging from the chaos.

Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan had remained together, though neither had yet ascended to the Divine Sea, both possessed cultivation at True Lake Level 9. With their years of harmonious cooperation, even without relying on the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc, they could still leverage each other's strengths.

In a battle of this scale, accurately finding a suitable opponent is the greatest guarantee of survival.

The Divine Sea Blood Race was naturally handled by the Divine Sea Realm cultivators from the three sects. What Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan needed to do was eradicate those True Lake Realm Blood Race members. But among the True Lake Realm, how many Blood Race members were truly their match?

"Senior Brother, has Junior Brother Lu responded?" Feng Yuechan asked worriedly as they dashed through the battlefield.

The one who sent a message to Lu Ye, informing him of the Sacred Seed encounter, was Li Baxian. After all, he had a direct communication channel with Lu Ye, not requiring intermediary layers.

Li Baxian's sword light enveloped him as his flying sword slashed continuously. Amidst his busyness, he replied, "On his way!"

Feng Yuechan then steadied her nerves.

Strangely, though she knew Lu Ye's strength could not exceed the Sacred Seed, nor could he surpass the three Level 9 cultivators, it seemed that in any situation involving Lu Ye, complexity transitioned into simplicity.

She had no idea what Lu Ye would do upon arrival. All she knew was that in the current situation, only Lu Ye could resolve it.

It was a blind trust, seemingly influenced by Li Baxian.

Within the sacred Blood River, the battle grew increasingly fierce and intense. Clearly, Jade Kirin Saintly Venerable realized the severe casualties among his Blood Race subordinates, prompting him to strike heavily against the three human level 9 cultivators.

During the clash, muffled groans echoed, and suddenly, a level 9 aura within the blood river plummeted, evidently severely injured.

This unexpected change caused all the human cultivators secretly watching to turn pale.

With one severely injured, the blood river was engulfed in overwhelming blood pressure. Jade Kirin Saintly Venerable seemed intent on pressing the attack to completely obliterate them.

This was undoubtedly a disaster for the three human Level 9 cultivators. In any other combat environment, if they were overpowered, they could flee. But in the blood river, if overpowered, they faced only death, with no possibility of escape.

The two who remained relatively unscathed quickly guarded their injured companion, knowing they couldn't allow themselves to be defeated one by one, or death was inevitable. But the disparity in skill, compounded by the lack of advantageous terrain, left them struggling despite their efforts.

Experiencing firsthand the terror and might of the Sacred Seed, they finally realized Lu Yiye's proclamations were not unfounded.

They believed, mistakenly, that with the strength of three, they could handle a Sacred Seed, overestimating their capabilities.

It wasn't for lack of caution; they simply lacked experience in combat with a Sacred Seed, leading to misjudgments about their individual power.

Ultimately, the root cause was the Blood River Technique. Without the Blood River, the three of them could have resisted a Sacred Seed.

Now, regret is too late...

Suddenly, a booming sound rumbled from afar; it was the external manifestation of extreme speed. The expressions of all three were shaken, realizing a strong ally was arriving.

As for who the strong ally might be, that was unclear, nor could they discern the newcomer's cultivation level due to the significant suppression on mental consciousness within the blood river.

The old Sect Leader of Loyal Heart Sect, to prevent the newcomer from repeating their disastrous mistake, quickly shouted, "The Blood River is treacherous and extremely limiting, Fellow Daoist, do not rush in. Align at the perimeter to support!"

He meant well, having suffered first-hand and couldn't bear to see others suffer the same.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the newcomer crashed right into the blood river.

The old Sect Leader's face turned black, wondering how the newcomer could act so recklessly?

Then a youthful voice echoed, "How rash, weren't the three of you reckless to engage the Sacred Seed within the Blood River?"

And the old Sect Leader heard the surprised exclamations from two of his companions: "Lu Yiye?"
