For Wang Ruoxie, who had mastered the Blood God Essence Blood, the blood souls of bloodline martial cultivators and the essence blood of demon beasts and all other living beings were considered the best cultivation resources.

In his previous life, after transforming into a Blood Demon, he killed without hesitation, devouring their blood souls. The speed at which his cultivation progressed was terrifying. In just half a year, his cultivation skyrocketed to the peak of the Celestial Monarch Realm.

At that time, he was only sixteen years old, yet he had already reached a level that many senior experts who had cultivated for thousands or even tens of thousands of years dreamed of.

This was enough to demonstrate how powerful the heaven-defying abilities granted to him by the Blood God Essence Blood were.

Therefore, Wang Ruoxie's devouring and refining of this drop of Black Tortoise Essence Blood could be said to be the greatest opportunity in this Black Tortoise Secret Realm.

Even the so-called true inheritance was far less significant to him than this drop of Black Tortoise Essence Blood.

Refining this drop of Black Tortoise Essence Blood greatly enhanced both his cultivation and bloodline tier, and naturally, his strength increased several times over.

He was now at the seventh layer of the Meridian Passage Realm; he had completely connected twenty-eight chakras within his body. He only needed to advance two more minor realms to fully connect all thirty-six chakras.

At that time, he would be able to form a Grand Cycle that aligns with the Celestial Spirit Number within his body, with True Essence cycling endlessly.

Even now, the chakras within his body were four times as many as those of others at the same tier, and his strength far surpassed that of a typical peer.

"My current strength is at least a hundred times greater than before. If I were to encounter the same type of puppet beast again, although I still wouldn't be able to confront it head-on, I wouldn't be as embarrassed as before," Wang Ruoxie mused silently. With his current strength, even those at the ninth layer of the Meridian Passage Realm or those at the Half-Step Essence Pill, he was confident he could fight them, and even if he couldn't win, he could retreat unharmed.

Wang Ruoxie took a step forward and walked out of the puppet beast's innards.

"Brother Wang, are you alright?"

Seeing Wang Ruoxie emerge, Xie Yuya quickly asked.

"I'm fine. Luckily, we finally got rid of that troublesome puppet beast."

Wang Ruoxie chuckled lightly and replied.

"If it weren't for you risking your life to enter that puppet beast and destroy it from within, I'm afraid both our lives would've been forfeited here," Xie Yuya smiled and said.

"The body of this puppet beast is made from special materials. Why don't we split it?"

Wang Ruoxie smiled and then directed his gaze at the enormous body of the puppet beast, saying.

"No need; you were the one who killed this puppet beast. Its body naturally belongs to you."

Xie Yuya shook his head and said.

Wang Ruoxie, hearing this, didn't say anything further and directly stored the enormous body of the puppet beast into his storage ring.

Xie Yuya gave a glance at the storage ring on Wang Ruoxie's hand with a look of surprise, seemingly not expecting Wang Ruoxie to possess such a storage treasure.

It's known that the body of this puppet beast is extremely large, and an ordinary storage pouch or even storage treasures might not be able to contain it completely.

"Let's head inside."

Wang Ruoxie said with a smile to Xie Yuya.

Xie Yuya nodded, and the two of them stepped into the inner hall.

Entering the inner hall, they found that almost all those who had entered earlier were lying in pools of blood, with only Zhou Wuji and a dozen others still standing.

As for those who weren't part of the three main families, not a single one was left alive.

"Zhou Wuji, what happened here?"

Xie Yuya glanced at the corpses of the Xie Family members on the ground, then looked at Zhou Wuji with cold, murderous intent and shouted angrily.

"Xie Yuya, you dare ask me?"

Covered in blood, Zhou Wuji also stared at Xie Yuya with a face full of anger, replying coldly.

"What do you mean by that?"

Xie Yuya looked coldly at Zhou Wuji and spoke again.

"Xie Yuya, it was your Xie Family who suddenly attacked and killed members of my Zhou Family and the Liu Family. If I hadn't come in early, nearly a hundred members of my Zhou Family would have been slaughtered by your Xie Family," Zhou Wuji said, his gaze icy as he looked at Xie Yuya.

"What... How can this be? Although our three families aren't exactly inseparable, we agreed that once inside the Black Tortoise Secret Realm, we wouldn't slaughter each other. Even if the true inheritance appeared, we'd still only seize it based on our own skills."

Hearing Zhou Wuji's words, Xie Yuya was momentarily stunned, then said with disbelief.

"Enough with the nonsense; for today's incident, your Xie Family must give both my Zhou Family and the Liu Family an explanation. Otherwise, your Xie Family should prepare to face the wrath of our families," Zhou Wuji said coldly.

Although the Xie Family was the strongest of the three main families, even regarded as the top family in Black Tortoise City, the strength of the Zhou Family and the Liu Family was not far behind. If the two families joined forces, they could easily contend against them.

"Indeed, members of your Xie Family killed dozens of my Liu Family. If we don't get an explanation, my Liu Family won't rest," said a young member of the Liu Family with Meridian Passage Realm sixth-layer cultivation, shouting harshly at Xie Yuya.

"Zhou Wuji, Liu Bo, although I'm not sure why this happened, I believe my Xie Family wouldn't attack your families without reason," Xie Yuya said, frowning as he looked at Zhou Wuji and the Liu Family youth. "Also, nearly a hundred members of my Xie Family were slaughtered by you. Shouldn't my Xie Family also demand an explanation?"

Listening to the three talking, Wang Ruoxie's gaze flickered. Clearly, the three main families had indeed made a prior agreement, but for some unknown reason, things had taken this turn.

Judging from Zhou Wuji and Liu Bo's expressions, it was evident they weren't lying; members of the Xie Family had indeed attacked members of the Zhou and Liu Families.

However, from Xie Yuya's reaction, it seemed he genuinely wasn't aware.

"Xie Yuya, you're truly shameless. Are we just to stand by and watch your Xie Family slaughter our families?" Zhou Wuji sneered mockingly.

"Zhou Wuji, there's no need for your words to be so mocking. Earlier, we agreed that you, Brother Wang, and I would jointly restrain the puppet beast, yet you suddenly withdrew into the inner hall."

Upon hearing Zhou Wuji's mockery, Xie Yuya's expression darkened as he said coldly, "Perhaps your intention was to ally with the Liu Family to slaughter my Xie Family."

"Good, Sentimental Young Master, I didn't expect your ability to fling baseless accusations would be just as formidable as your swordsmanship," Zhou Wuji retorted with an angry laugh.

"Xie Yuya, your Xie Family's sudden attack on our families is undeniable. Although you came in last, you are still implicated, being the leader of the Xie Family here," said Liu Bo coldly to Xie Yuya.

After speaking, he directed his gaze at Wang Ruoxie, taunting, "Kid, do you really think Xie Yuya is genuinely befriending you? His reputation as the Sentimental Young Master has spread throughout Black Tortoise City and even the entire Black Luo Kingdom."

"Everyone knows, the Sentimental Young Master's sword is the Heartless Sword, and the person himself is a heartless one. If he's befriending you, it surely harbors some unknown motive."
