Chapter 205: The Only Bloodline

Zhang Yang and Yuluan felt no sense of threat; they looked at Langya Yu as if he were a fool.

He had a good appearance but was completely brainless.

Who didn’t know that the Vast Forest stood against the entire Southern Region?

Let alone adding Langya Yu—the weakest among the four great forbidden areas, known as the cursed land of Langya. Even if there were three or four more like him, they still wouldn’t be a threat.

However, what annoyed them both were the words Langya Yu had spoken.

“Why does the Chi Dragon Royal Bloodline belong to your cursed land of Langya? You think too highly of yourself. She is from the Vast Forest and always will be; no one can take that away.” Zhang Yang said coldly. “And please use your brain. Don’t be so foolish as to not know your own worth. Your cursed land of Langya dares to threaten us? Do you really believe we couldn’t wipe you out entirely?”

Langya Yu, filled with shame and anger, retorted, “You of the Vast Forest rely solely on a single Chi Zhenyi. What else do you have? You’re simply not our match. We…” He suddenly paused, his eyes flashing with a fierce light as he looked at Yuluan. His right hand subtly delved into his storage bag, grasping something before pulling it back. Then, sneering, he said, “I can tell you the truth!”

“The truth about the cursed land of Langya!”

“The truth about why Yuluan wanders outside!”

Langya Yu leaned against a rock, panting as he took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth. “Do you want to know?” he asked.

Zhang Yang stared at him coldly.

Yuluan urged, “Speak!”

The internal situation of the cursed land of Langya had always been a mystery, even intelligence organizations like Moonview Tower and Embrace Moon Tower lacked detailed information.

Langya Yu caught his breath and began narrating a bloody history.

“The Langya Empire has existed for over ten thousand years and was once strong enough to rival the Ghostly Divine Platform. What a glorious past! Although in the past thousand years it faced continuous setbacks, with saints aging and dying or perishing in battle, there were still six or seven saints, including the last Langya Emperor.”

“It was his foolishness that brought ruin to the entire Langya Empire.”

“Although he ultimately realized his mistake and sacrificed his life to seal the Imperial Capital as a cursed land that no one dared to enter, he still paid the price—his death!”

“His death was divine retribution.”

“After he died, chaos erupted within the capital. The royal family’s saints paid the price for the curse, while other suppressed families seized the opportunity, joining forces to invade the palace.”

“Though they managed to kill a few saints, one saint regained his strength and counterattacked, wiping out all the invading families.”

“However, they had not anticipated that these noble families had deep roots. When they attacked the palace, they had already set up ambushes. They never truly perished; instead, they used their former connections to return unnoticed, rebuilt entirely new families, and coexisted with the royal family.”

“At that moment, both sides understood that only by temporarily setting aside their hatred could they grow stronger. Otherwise, if their saints were too few, they would be doomed to destruction.”

“After three hundred years of effort, saints arose once more. The royal family had them, and so did the other families.”

“Ambition finally erupted again.”

“Hatred blinded them.”

“More than a decade ago, infighting broke out once more, and in the end, the royal family was annihilated, their saints slain in battle. Only a few with impure bloodlines managed to escape, though they were hunted down one by one.”

At this point, Langya Yu’s expression grew increasingly sinister. With a fierce tone, he continued, “As far as I know, more than ten years ago, the only survivor was you. No one else. This means the royal family is basically extinct.”

“But let me tell you, not all the royal women were killed. They were kept alive and distributed among various families, used to bear children. Many men played with them daily, using the seed from each family to stimulate the Chi Dragon bloodline, hoping to strengthen it. Over all these years, there has never been a truly pure Chi Dragon bloodline, let alone the Chi Dragon Royal Bloodline.”

“And you, you’ve given us hope.”

“So, you can only belong to the cursed land of Langya!”

At that moment, not only could Yuluan no longer bear it, but even Zhang Yang revealed a strong killing intent.

He felt an impulse to crush the cursed land of Langya.

The people within this forbidden land had lost their humanity.

Langya Yu laughed wildly. “Yuluan! You have only two outcomes: first, you will be stripped of your bloodline; second, you will bear children for our families and give birth to—”

Slap!

Zhang Yang struck him hard.

Langya Yu’s face was left mangled, his mouth bleeding and filled with shattered teeth.

“Your woman, she will eventually—” Langya Yu attempted to speak again, only to be met with another resounding slap. This time, it sent him spiraling through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

As Langya Yu hit the ground, he felt dizzy, his vision darkening.

Zhang Yang stepped forward and crushed Langya Yu’s hand beneath his foot.

Langya Yu let out a piercing scream of pain, dropping what he had been holding—a beast bone intricately carved with Forbidden Law Patterns, part of an ancient teleportation array.

“Do you think you can escape in front of me just because you have an ancient teleportation array?” Zhang Yang said coldly. To use such an artifact in his presence required true strength—without it, there would be no opportunity to activate it.

He took the beast bone away.

The ancient teleportation array was still quite rare in the Vast Forest.

Only then did Langya Yu regain his senses, his face filled with horror as he stared at Zhang Yang, realizing it was all over for him.

Zhang Yang said, “Sister Yuluan, it’s up to you to deal with him.”

Langya Yu looked at Yuluan in terror and crawled forward to beg.

Before he could speak, a striking sword light flashed past.

Thud!

Langya Yu’s head flew from his body.

“Sister Yuluan,” Zhang Yang spoke softly, comforting her.

Yuluan closed her eyes and lay in his arms, neither crying nor speaking, just resting there.

She had learned some secrets about the cursed land of Langya from Yi Ren Zui, but not much. After connecting what she had heard with Langya Yu’s words, she began to grasp the tragic fate of her parents and relatives.

“Sister Yuluan, trust me. When I have enough strength to break into the cursed land, I will go in and slay everyone inside, avenging your family,” Zhang Yang vowed.

The cursed land of Langya was considered forbidden due to the terrifying curse; it was a true no-go zone. Even saints were wary and did not dare set foot there lightly.

To Zhang Yang, the so-called curse was merely a type of secret technique and forbidden law. He never cared about such things; as long as he was strong enough, he could break through with sheer strength.

“I know,” Yuluan replied. “You will help me. I want to grow stronger too. I will also break into the cursed land of Langya to uncover all the truths. If everything is as Langya Yu said, then let everyone in the cursed land perish alongside him!”

Once she voiced her thoughts, she released some pent-up emotions.

After a while, she regained her composure, her inner bandit nature resurfacing as she grabbed Langya Yu’s storage bag and collected his belongings.

Zhang Yang unleashed the Baxiang Divine Fire, reducing Langya Yu to ashes to avoid polluting the land.

Yuluan examined the storage bag, hoping to find evidence of Langya Yu’s claims, and unexpectedly discovered a Chi Dragon Jade Pendant.

This pendant resonated faintly with her Chi Dragon royal bloodline.

Zhang Yang fixated on the Chi Dragon Jade Pendant, sensing a connection, as if it could aid his Quasi-Holy Power.
