No one had expected that within this Ancient Tower, not only was there no inheritance of Venerable Lan Yue, but they also encountered Venerable Lan Yue himself, who had disappeared a thousand years ago.

What shocked them even more was that Venerable Lan Yue intended to use their flesh and blood as energy for resurrection.

It must be known that Venerable Lan Yue was the foremost powerhouse of the Eastern Domain a thousand years ago, with terrifying strength.

Even though Venerable Lan Yue could no longer be considered truly alive now and his strength was far from what it was in the past, they still had no courage to oppose him.

At this moment, even Nangong Han, Dongfang Qiong, Ximen Yao, and Bai Yinyin, these four with First Layer Cultivation in the Essence Pill Realm, all wore expressions of horror.

They finally understood that all of this was Venerable Lan Yue's scheme.

Venerable Lan Yue had deliberately activated these Ancient Ruins to lure them here in order to obtain enough flesh and blood as energy for resurrection.

Furthermore, he used various Treasure Resources to entice them into killing each other.

In the end, he also unleashed those Blood-colored Demon Beasts to continuously attack and kill them.

Originally, nearly ten thousand people entered these Ancient Ruins, but now only a few hundred were left.

This meant that the flesh and blood of all those others had been transformed into the energy needed for Venerable Lan Yue to resurrect.

"I was wondering before why those Treasure Resources were so carelessly placed everywhere. It turns out it was all a trap set by the senior to make us kill each other,"

Nangong Han said with an extremely unpleasant expression.

Everyone's expression was equally as unpleasant at this moment.

While they had also doubted before why the Treasure Resources they fought over, mostly of Earth Tier, and even some Upper Grade Earth Tier treasures, were so carelessly placed in obvious locations, they could not have imagined that this was Venerable Lan Yue's trap to tempt them into mutual slaughter.

"This can only be blamed on your greed."

Venerable Lan Yue chuckled indifferently and said, "Isn't it your greed that brought you here?"

Upon hearing Venerable Lan Yue's words, everyone was at a loss for words without a way to refute.

In truth, they couldn't refute it at all, because Venerable Lan Yue wasn't wrong; they were indeed driven by greed, seeking to acquire more and better Treasure Resources, and even hoping to gain Venerable Lan Yue's inheritance, that led them into the Ancient Tower.

"Senior, since you have now resurrected, could you let us leave?"

At this moment, Dongfang Qiong slightly cupped his hands toward Venerable Lan Yue and spoke.

"Although I have resurrected, a thousand years have passed, and now only I remain in the whole Blue Moon Manor. Therefore, to restore the former glory of my Blue Moon Manor, I intend to take you all as disciples."

Venerable Lan Yue surveyed the crowd and slowly said, "Are you willing to become my disciples and join my Blue Moon Manor?"

Upon hearing Venerable Lan Yue's words, everyone fell silent.

It wasn't that they were unwilling to become his disciple, but they were uncertain whether this was another trap.

However, the four of Nangong Han had no interest in becoming the disciple of Venerable Lan Yue.

They were top talents from the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, with extremely powerful backing forces, and many of their elders possessed Qi Condensation Realm.

Even the Venerable Lan Yue at his peak in the past did not have the qualification to take them as disciples.

As for Wang Ruoxie, he never felt that anyone on the current Yuanwu Continent was qualified to be his mentor, much less take him as a disciple.

The most critical part was that he understood clearly that Venerable Lan Yue was not genuinely seeking them as disciples but rather scheming against them.

Furthermore, he could tell that the other party had not truly resurrected, but was in a bizarre state between life and death.

In fact, Venerable Lan Yue needed more flesh and blood to truly resurrect.

If so, they might still have a sliver of hope.

With this thought, Wang Ruoxie turned his gaze toward the four of Nangong Han and said, "He should not be fully resurrected yet, and the only reason he's telling us these things is to buy time."

"We must take advantage of the fact that he cannot act against us now and kill him swiftly, or once he fully resurrects and restores his strength, we're all dead."

Even though there were several hundred people present, only Nangong Han, Dongfang Qiong, Ximen Yao, and Bai Yinyin, these four with First Layer Cultivation in the Essence Pill Realm, were eligible to join forces against Venerable Lan Yue.

Because even if his guess was correct and Venerable Lan Yue wasn't fully resurrected, the opponent's current strength was at least equivalent to the Fourth Layer in the Essence Pill Realm, or possibly stronger.

Furthermore, even if he teamed up with the four of Nangong Han, there was no great confidence in overcoming him.

Those with Meridian Passage Realm Cultivation, no matter how many, would be meaningless.

"How can you be sure I haven't fully resurrected and cannot act against you now?"

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, a cold gleam flashed in Venerable Lan Yue's eyes as he responded.

"Because I know that the mighty Secret Technique you speak of is actually the Blood Refining Evil Technique."

Wang Ruoxie's gaze met Venerable Lan Yue as he continued, "Furthermore, I am aware that although you used the Blood Refining Evil Technique to set up the Blood Refining Array, converting the flesh and blood of countless beings into this Pool of Myriad Bloods, which allowed you to reverse life and death, you cannot fully integrate the vital essence contained within these flesh and blood for the time being, hence you haven't truly resurrected."

"Moreover, if you were capable of making a move now, how could you be wasting time talking so much with us? You would have already killed us and merged our flesh and blood into the Pool of Myriad Bloods."

As Wang Ruoxie's words fell, everyone's eyes brightened, as Wang Ruoxie's reasoning made sense.

"Who exactly are you to know the Blood Refining Evil Technique?"

Venerable Lan Yue's expression changed slightly, incredulously addressing Wang Ruoxie.

He had thought that he was the only one in the world who knew the Blood Refining Evil Technique but didn't expect there to be a second person who knew, and this person seemed to have a thorough understanding of it.

Unbeknownst to Venerable Lan Yue, in his previous life, Wang Ruoxie was a Blood Demon who had devoured countless beings.

It could be said that, in his previous life, before Wang Ruoxie, the mere Blood Refining Evil Technique was nothing of concern.

Moreover, when it came to understanding flesh, Venerable Lan Yue was not even qualified to be mentioned alongside Wang Ruoxie.

"If you don't want to die, act with me."

Wang Ruoxie ignored Venerable Lan Yue's question and addressed the four of Nangong Han.

"Alright, let's join forces and kill him."

Nangong Han pondered momentarily, then nodded.

"Not just us, everyone must act together."

Dongfang Qiong also spoke up.

"Exactly, let's all act together! Even if he was once the Eastern Domain's number one powerhouse, he's just a living dead now, and there's no reason to fear him."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

At that moment, without hesitation, everyone charged together at Venerable Lan Yue.

"Ah..."

However, the scene that unfolded next turned out to be extremely tragic.
