The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 672 Blood Sacrifice at the Ancestral Hall

After dealing with the group of evildoers from the Blood Evil Sect, Yun Yao felt exhausted both physically and mentally, but she knew that there were still many things to be dealt with. She dragged her heavy steps and walked towards the Chu Mo family ancestral hall step by step.

As she entered the ancestral hall, she was overwhelmed by the solemn atmosphere, and the air seemed to be filled with the spirits of the ancestors. Yun Yao looked around, and her eyes finally fell on the empty space in the center of the ancestral hall, where the Hongmeng clan monument would be erected. She took a deep breath, circulated her spiritual power, and a stone monument exuding an ancient atmosphere slowly rose from the ground. On the monument, there was a faint image of flowing stars, which was the embodiment of the power of Hongmeng.

Yun Yao held the jade pen in her hand, the tip of the pen was filled with spiritual power and determination, and began to carve the names of the old housekeeper and others stroke by stroke. Every time she carved a name, a memory related to it emerged in her mind. The old housekeeper's simple smile, meticulous care, and the resolute figure who risked his life to protect the entrance to the secret room at the critical moment, all flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern. Tears unconsciously blurred her eyes, dripping onto the surface of the monument, blending with the spiritual power, making those names appear more and more shining.

“Old butler, have a pleasant journey. From now on, your name will be associated with the Hongmeng clan and will be revered by future generations.” Yun Yao whispered softly, her voice filled with endless sorrow and respect.

After carving the name, Yun Yao turned around and looked at Chu Moxuan, who was seriously injured and dying. At this time, Chu Moxuan's face was as pale as paper, and his breath was as weak as a candle in the wind. The wound on his chest that was pierced by the soul-piercing nail was still gushing out black blood, exuding a heart-pounding dead silence. Yun Yao was anxious and took out the Hongmeng Spirit Spring without hesitation. As soon as the spirit spring appeared, it emitted a brilliant light, and the rich vitality was like a materialized ripple, spreading to the surroundings.

She carefully fed the spiritual spring into Chu Moxuan's mouth. The spiritual spring entered his body and instantly turned into warm streams of light, flowing along Chu Moxuan's meridians, repairing his damaged organs and broken meridians. During this process, Yun Yao keenly noticed that there was an extremely weak but very familiar breath quietly surging in Chu Moxuan's body - that was the Hongmeng bloodline!

Yun Yao couldn't help but widen her eyes, full of astonishment. She hurriedly circulated her spiritual power and explored further, becoming more and more certain of this astonishing discovery. It turned out that the ancestors of the Chu Mo family had actually married into the Hongmeng clan. This precious bloodline was like a hidden fire, passed down from generation to generation in the Chu Mo family, until today, it appeared in Chu Moxuan.

"No wonder..." Yun Yao muttered to herself, and all her past doubts were instantly resolved. Why did the Galaxy Wheel pull her to Chu Mo's house? Why did she have such a deep and inexplicable bond with Chu Mochen? Everything had been quietly tied by the red thread of fate thousands of years ago.

At this moment, the silent system light man suddenly appeared. Its light was much dimmer than usual. Obviously, the previous series of changes also consumed a lot of its energy. The light man floated in front of Yun Yao and explained in a slightly mechanical but somewhat human voice: "Host, your time travel is actually the Galaxy Wheel sensing the call of the Chu Mo family bloodline. The catastrophe a thousand years ago almost destroyed the Hongmeng clan, but it also left this glimmer of hope. The Galaxy Wheel carries the last hope of the Hongmeng clan and has been looking for an opportunity to restart Hongmeng in the turbulence of time and space. When it sensed the hidden power in the Chu Mo family bloodline, it crossed endless time and space and pulled the modern you here, just to complete this predetermined destiny."

Yun Yao listened quietly, feeling mixed emotions. She looked at the sky outside the ancestral hall, her thoughts drifting away. She once thought she was just an ordinary woman who accidentally stumbled into the world of cultivation and struggled for survival, but now she knows that from the moment she was born, she has shouldered such a heavy and great mission.

Turning to look at Chu Mochen who was also immersed in shock, Yun Yao's eyes became soft and firm. In this complicated world of cultivation, they supported each other all the way, experienced countless life and death tests, from the initial unfamiliarity and suspicion to the current spiritual vein symbiosis and life and death. She suddenly felt that the gears of fate had never stopped. The cause thousands of years ago had produced today's result, and they were destined to work together to rewrite the fate of the Hongmeng Clan and even the future of the entire universe.

"Chu Mochen," Yun Yao called softly, breaking the silence in the ancestral hall, "It seems that our meeting was destined from the beginning."

Chu Mochen came back to his senses, his eyes full of affection and emotion. He took a step forward and held Yun Yao's hand tightly, as if he wanted to pass all his strength and determination to her through this grip: "Yao'er, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will walk side by side with you. Our ancestors paved this road for us thousands of years ago, and now it is our turn to shoulder this responsibility."

Yun Yao nodded slightly, with a faint smile on her lips, but behind that smile, she hid endless determination. She looked at the Hongmeng clan monument again, and silently vowed in her heart that she would restore the Hongmeng clan to its former glory and protect the hard-won peace and hope.

At this moment, a strange glow appeared in the sky outside the ancestral hall, which seemed to be the comfort of the ancestors' spirits in heaven, and also seemed to be the expectation for the future. Yun Yao knew that a new journey was about to begin, and she was ready to move forward fearlessly.

In the following days, Yun Yao devoted herself to taking care of Chu Moxuan. Every day, she would use the Hongmeng Spiritual Spring to nourish Chu Moxuan's body, and use spiritual power to help him dispel the blood stasis and residual evil spirits in his body. In her spare time, she and Chu Mochen studied the secret manuals and magic weapon fragments seized from the Blood Evil Sect, trying to dig out more secrets about the Hongmeng Clan and the Blood Evil Sect to prevent similar crises from occurring in the future.

One day, when Yun Yao was transferring spiritual power to Chu Moxuan, she noticed that the Hongmeng blood in his body was a little agitated. She quickly stopped what she was doing and observed carefully. She saw a faint star mark faintly emerging between Chu Moxuan's eyebrows, which echoed the Galaxy Wheel on Yun Yao's neck.

"Is this... a sign of bloodline awakening?" Yun Yao was surprised and delighted. She turned to look at Chu Mochen, her eyes full of anticipation.

Chu Mochen also looked excited. He walked quickly to the bedside, held Chu Moxuan's hand, and felt the weak but tenacious blood fluctuations: "It seems that my brother is destined to embark on this extraordinary path. When he wakes up, we will teach him everything about the Hongmeng Clan and let him become our right-hand man."

Yun Yao nodded gently, but she was a little worried. The awakening of the Hongmeng bloodline is certainly a good thing, but it also means greater responsibility and danger. Although the Blood Evil Clan has suffered a heavy blow, there is no guarantee that there will not be remnant forces that will come back and covet the new Hongmeng bloodline. Moreover, as she gets to know the Hongmeng Clan better, she understands more and more that there are countless forces in the universe that covet the power of Hongmeng, and the road ahead is destined to be full of thorns.

However, despite her worries, Yun Yao never backed down. She began to organize the Hongmeng skills, magic techniques, and scientific knowledge she had learned in modern times, preparing to compile them into a book for Chu Moxuan to study systematically after he woke up.

Time flies, and under Yun Yao's careful care, Chu Moxuan's injuries finally gradually improved. One morning, the sun shone through the window lattice and sprinkled into the ancestral hall. Chu Moxuan's fingers trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

"I... I'm still alive?" Chu Moxuan's voice was hoarse and weak, with a bit of confusion and astonishment in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yun Yao hurried forward and held his hand, her eyes full of joy: "Brother Xuan, you finally woke up! That's great, I'm glad you're okay."

Chu Mochen also walked to the bedside, patted Chu Moxuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, you have been sleeping for quite some time, and we were worried about you."

Chu Moxuan looked around at the familiar yet somewhat strange ancestral hall, and memories came flooding back. He remembered the Blood Evil Sect's surprise attack, the despair of being nailed to the ancient door, and the mysterious and warm power he felt when he was on the verge of death.

"It was you who saved me?" Chu Moxuan looked at Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, his eyes full of gratitude.

Yun Yao smiled and nodded: "Not only that, Brother Xuan, you have the Hongmeng bloodline flowing in your body. This is an opportunity given to you by God, and it is also a heavy responsibility. From now on, we will protect the Chu Mo family and the Hongmeng clan together."

As she spoke, Yun Yao handed a thick book to Chu Moxuan: "This is the cultivation information I compiled for you. It contains both the ancient exercises of the Hongmeng Clan and some modern knowledge. It will definitely be helpful for your future cultivation."

Chu Moxuan took the book, his hands trembling slightly, he felt the heavy trust and expectation. He held the book tightly, his eyes firm: "Brother, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will not let this blood down, I will fight side by side with you to protect the family!"

From that day on, Chu Moxuan began his arduous journey of cultivation under the guidance of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. He was extremely talented, and with the blessing of Hongmeng blood, his cultivation progressed rapidly. Every breakthrough in his spiritual power and every spell he cast made him more confident, and Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were deeply pleased.

At the same time, Yun Yao did not relax her attention to the external situation. She often used the Galaxy Wheel to explore the movements of various parties in the universe, and kept in touch with friendly forces such as the Xingxuan Sect to exchange information. One day, the Galaxy Wheel suddenly sent a violent wave, and Yun Yao hurriedly closed her eyes and concentrated to receive the message.

It turned out to be an urgent message from the Xingxuan Sect that traces of the remnants of the Xuesha Sect were found in a remote star system in the upper realm. They seemed to be planning something in secret, and had gathered a lot of independent cultivators, with a rather strange aura.

Yun Yao frowned upon learning about this. She knew that if the Blood Evil Sect was not eliminated, there would be endless troubles. She decided to go with Chu Mochen to investigate.

"Brother Xuan, you should practice well at home and consolidate your cultivation. Your elder brother and I will go to the upper realm. If anything happens, please contact us in time through the Galaxy Wheel." Yun Yao reminded.

Chu Moxuan nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm at home, you just need to be careful."

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stepped onto the teleportation array, and with a flash of light, they disappeared from the spot. When they reappeared, they were already in the mysterious galaxy in the upper realm. There was a thick fog here, the light of the stars seemed dim, and the spiritual energy around them was filled with a strange evil spirit.

The two of them moved forward cautiously, relying on their keen spiritual perception to search for traces of the remnants of the Blood Evil Sect. Suddenly, a violent spiritual fluctuation came from the front, accompanied by bursts of sinister laughter.

“Hahaha, when Yun Yao and Chu Mochen arrive, we will make sure they never return! This time, we have been blessed with the ancient evil power, and we will definitely be able to avenge that blood feud!”

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, their eyes full of coldness. They flashed and rushed towards the source of the sound. They saw a group of monks in black robes, surrounded by demonic energy, sitting around a blood-red magic circle. In the center of the magic circle, a glowing evil bead was suspended. The evil bead seemed to have sealed countless wronged souls, and they were constantly making shrill roars.

"You are indeed the remnants of the Blood Evil Sect. You still dare to use such evil methods to harm people. Today is the day of your death!" Yun Yao shouted angrily and summoned the Hongmeng Sword. The power of Hongmeng surged on the sword body, and the sound of the sword resounded through the sky.

Seeing this, the faces of the people of the Blood Demon Sect changed drastically, and they all sacrificed their magic weapons and set up a defensive formation. However, how could they be a match for Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. The two cooperated tacitly. Yun Yao used the Hongmeng spell to tear open the enemy's defense with powerful attack power, while Chu Mochen used the exquisite formation of the Chu Mo family to trap the enemy and weaken their spiritual power.

During the fierce battle, Yun Yao seized the opportunity and stabbed the core of the blood-red magic circle with a sword. The evil bead exploded instantly, and countless wronged souls were freed and turned into little spiritual lights and dissipated. The remnants of the Blood Demon Sect lost the blessing of the evil magic and were even more defeated. After a while, they were slaughtered by Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.

“Hmph, if the Blood Evil Sect dares to cause trouble again, we will wipe them out completely!” Yun Yao put away the Hongmeng Sword, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

After dealing with the crisis here, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen did not return immediately. They knew that the power of the Blood Evil Sect was like weeds, which could not be burned out and would grow again. They had to eliminate the trouble from the root. The two decided to conduct an investigation in the upper realm to find the secret nest of the Blood Evil Sect and the supporters behind it.

In the following days, they traveled through various galaxies and secret realms in the upper world, dealing with various forces and collecting intelligence. Every adventure was full of unknowns and dangers, but Yun Yao and Chu Mochen never backed down. With their wisdom and courage, they overcame danger again and again, and gradually uncovered the shocking conspiracy hidden behind the Blood Evil Sect.

It turns out that the Blood Evil Sect secretly colluded with a mysterious force in the upper world. This force attempted to use the Blood Evil Sect to break the barrier between the upper and lower worlds, seize the power of the origin of the universe, and rule the three thousand worlds. The appearance of Yun Yao and the Hongmeng Clan became their biggest obstacle.

"It seems that we must speed up our pace, improve our strength and stop their conspiracy." Yun Yao looked at the starry sky in the distance, his eyes as firm as a rock.

After returning to Chu Mo's home, Yun Yao shared the intelligence she had obtained with Chu Moxuan, and the three began to formulate a detailed response plan. They practiced day and night, constantly breaking through their own limits, and at the same time, actively contacted various friendly forces to form an alliance to jointly fight the impending crisis.

In the ancestral hall, the Hongmeng clan monument emits a soft light, as if witnessing their growth and determination. Yun Yao knows that the road ahead is still long, but as long as they work together and keep their guard up, nothing can stop them from moving forward. In this magnificent cultivation universe, their legend is still being written...
