Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Lilith Takes Action!

The Great Elder abruptly turned his head to look toward the Forbidden Land.

There, a presence equal to his own erupted forth.

His face instantly turned ashen.

For such a presence to burst out from the direction of the Forbidden Land…

That could only mean Qing had left the Secret Realm!

How could this be?!

After all these years, with Qing trapped inside the Forbidden Land, not only did her strength not decline—she’s actually advanced further?

He knew very well that the Forbidden Land was saturated with Demonic Qi.

Forget advancing in level—even maintaining one’s original power there was extremely difficult.

But Qing…

She truly deserves to be called the Ghost Race’s number one prodigy!

A sinister glint flashed through the Great Elder’s eyes, his gaze like a blade slicing toward Fei Yue and Qing Shuang, who stood behind Gu Xing.

Now everything made sense to him…

Qing must have come into contact with his daughter!

A miscalculation…

Sending that human in, he hadn’t considered this possibility.

After all, the Forbidden Land was vast beyond measure, and he’d even dispatched Monarch-level Ghost Race assassins…

Given those circumstances, he hadn’t thought that human would actually encounter Qing.

However…

As long as he captured those two Unicorn Ghost Race, would Qing still dare defy him?

A cold gleam flared in the Great Elder’s eyes, and Void Power surged frantically around him.

Since things had come to this, it was time to resolve the issue in the most direct way possible!

Just then—

“Shua shua shua!”

Nine figures suddenly tore through the Void, appearing above the sky.

It was none other than the nine remaining Elders who had lain in ambush for so long.

Their original plan had been to surround and kill Lilith, but the sudden twist threw all strategies into chaos.

“Qing, along with those criminals, broke the seal on the Forbidden Land and burst out from within!”

“The Forbidden Land is now practically lost!”

The Elders immediately reported all the information they had.

Upon hearing the situation, the Great Elder’s eyes darkened slightly. Then, he swept his gaze over the nine Elders and spoke slowly:

“You go delay Qing—I’ll handle things here!”

The nine Elders, hearing this, instantly transformed into streams of light heading for the Forbidden Land.

And as the Ghost Race on-site heard the name “Qing,” panic broke out instantly:

“What? Qing is still alive?!”

“Wasn’t she the traitor who allowed the Demon Race to invade back then?”

“It’s over, it’s over, a disaster is coming!”

To the Ghost Race masses, Qing’s reputation had already been molded by the Great Elder—someone irresponsible, who let the Demon Race attack, a villain.

Now that she had left the Forbidden Land, she would undoubtedly pose a threat to the entire Ghost Race!

Staring at the chaos unfolding, the Great Elder roared aloud—

“All clansmen, evacuate immediately!”

Upon hearing the Great Elder’s order, the Ghost Race audience scattered in terror.

And when the last Ghost Race member fled the scene, the Great Elder’s gaze became thoroughly cold and sinister.

He stared intently at Gu Xing, cloaked within the Golden Domain, at last gleaning something crucial.

This domain…

His gaze finally settled upon Liu Li.

This domain… had already begun to nurture the embryonic form of a Law!

The discovery sent a shockwave through his heart, murderous intent surging.

This Angel and this human… must not be allowed to live!

Give them any more time to grow, and they will surely become future calamities.

But for now, hindered by the bizarre domain, he couldn’t attack the Beast Master and could only target Liu Li instead.

However—

“So the mighty Great Elder of the Ghost Race stoops to such lowly tactics.”

Lilith positioned herself gracefully before Liu Li, scarlet eyes steeped in taunt and mockery.

She toyed with a strand of silver hair at her fingertips, every gesture exuding deliberate composure.

The Great Elder’s face darkened like storm clouds.

Among those present, only this Blood Race woman kept him guessing.

“You haven’t formed a contract with this human; you’re not his Guardian Beast…”

“As Blood Race, humanity is mere food for you—you have no reason to risk yourself for him!”

“Throwing your own life away here—what’s the point?”

He still clung to a final attempt.

If he could talk this Blood Race woman into leaving on her own, that would be best.

Only…

He was utterly unaware of the true bond between Lilith and Gu Xing.

Their lives were intertwined by more than mere contract!

“Throw my life away here?!”

Lilith’s red lips curled, revealing a smile colder than ice.

“And someone like you thinks you’re worthy to lecture me?”

“Boom!”

Dense blood energy erupted from her petite figure, like a volcanic explosion.

In the midst of this storm of blood, her body elongated, silver hair transforming into a lurid crimson…

The Blood Empress—her true form descended!

The Great Elder’s face went deathly pale the instant he saw Lilith’s true self.

“Blood Ancestor… Lilith!”

That name had echoed in his ears since before he ever became an Elder.

Even back then, Lilith was already a terrifying Totem-level existence!

“So you recognize me? How amusing~”

Lilith’s eyes glimmered with wicked playfulness.

Staring at Lilith, the Great Elder’s heart sank to rock bottom—yet suddenly…

He keenly detected Lilith’s current aura…

Only Monarch Tier Five?!

The realization made his sharp eyes burn with excitement.

If Lilith were still Totem-level, he’d flee without a second’s hesitation.

But now…

Even the former Blood Ancestor is merely Monarch Tier Five!

“Heh…”

The Great Elder’s Ghost Qi churned wildly.

“Even as Blood Ancestor, today you will never leave this place alive!”

On the viewing platform.

Yueli Tu Shan stood in utter shock, “Blood Ancestor” echoing in her ears.

This silver-haired girl who was always by Gu Xing’s side… was actually the founder of the Blood Race?!

Everyone knew the Blood Ancestor was a Totem-level existence, equal to her own mother!

Even more astonishing: as a natural-born battle species, the Blood Race meant Lilith’s actual combat power might even surpass her mother…

She swallowed with difficulty, eyes darting rapidly between Gu Xing and Lilith.

Now, the elite races accompanying this human included—

Elf, Angel, Ghost Race, Blood Race!

And the Blood Race itself was accompanied by its true Ancestor!

What did this signify?

If she could broker an alliance between Qingqiu and humanity, it would mean simultaneous ties with both humanity and the Blood Race!

Her heart raced further as the turmoil from the Forbidden Land hinted that Gu Xing had, apparently, already made allies among the Ghost Race opposition…

“Princess!”

A Half-Step Totem Level Qingqiu expert suddenly appeared.

“Civil war has erupted within the Ghost Race. Should we get out of here?”

Yueli Tu Shan gently shook her head, eyes shining with unwavering resolve:

“Aunt Xue, I’ve decided to ally with humanity.”

“You keep your eyes on the battle. If things turn, strike at the Ghost Race without hesitation!”

The woman called “Aunt Xue” nodded slightly at the command.

As Qingqiu’s only Princess, Yueli Tu Shan’s orders would be followed unconditionally.

After giving her instructions, Yueli Tu Shan gazed up at the battlefield stretched across the sky, lips unconsciously curving upward.

She had an intense feeling—

This mysterious human was destined to bring her even more unimaginable surprises!

Not just those unparalleled Guardian Beasts and that uncanny Talent…

There had to be more awaiting her!!
