As the number of blood-colored beasts on the field dwindled to a few hundred, these beasts finally felt fear, each one revealing a look of terror, just as the lesser blood-colored beasts had feared the mysterious rusted sword in the past.
Then, it was unclear which blood-colored beast howled first, but following that, countless blood-colored beasts frantically retreated towards a dark hole in the great hall, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh!
Qin Chen hurriedly pursued them. Just as he reached the entrance of the hole, it suddenly closed with a hum. Qin Chen immediately slammed his fist against the closing entrance, only to feel a terrifying force transmitted back to him, yet the stone wall remained unmoved.
At the same time, a strange sealing rune lit up above, slowly dissipating, making it impossible to know where those blood-colored beasts had gone.
Qin Chen did not continue to attack. Firstly, he was exhausted; even with the Undying Sacred Body, after such a frenzied battle, he was utterly fatigued and his whole body ached.
Secondly, he vaguely sensed an extremely unsettling aura behind the seal. If he forced his way through, it would surely provoke some terrifying consequences.
Not wanting to think about anything else, Qin Chen sat down cross-legged to heal his injuries and digest the insights he had gained earlier.
"Young Hero Qin!"
The sound of rushing air rang out as You Qianxue and the others arrived just as the blood-colored beasts retreated. Upon seeing Qin Chen covered in blood, a pang of pain arose in their hearts.
"So many Blood Crystals."
At this moment, the sound of gasping could be heard from Yue Chaolun and Jia Yiyi. Looking at the blood-soaked Qin Chen and the ground full of blood-colored crystals, they were both shocked and grateful. They did not disturb Qin Chen but instead began collecting the blood-colored crystals for him.
As they collected, everyone gasped once more. Deep within the great hall, there were over two thousand blood-colored crystals. In other words, Qin Chen had just killed over two thousand blood-colored beasts.
What kind of number was this? If converted into over two thousand late-stage Martial Emperors, it would surely shake the entire Tianwu Continent.
Yue Chaolun and Jia Yiyi looked at Qin Chen in disbelief. They could not comprehend how a mere youth possessed such terrifying strength.
Soon after, other disciples from the Bloodline Sacred Land also hurried over.
After several hours, Qin Chen finally opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
"Young Hero Qin, you have finally awakened! I am Yue Chaolun from the Bloodline Sacred Land. This is Jia Yiyi, our Holy Daughter, along with many other disciples of the Bloodline Sacred Land. Thank you for your earlier assistance, Young Hero. This great kindness is something we will never forget."
Yue Chaolun hurriedly stepped forward, bowing respectfully, his face filled with sincerity and gratitude.
"You are from the Bloodline Sacred Land?" Qin Chen exclaimed in surprise. Then he showed a moment of realization. No wonder he felt a heavenly bloodline aura earlier; it must be from the Bloodline Sacred Land's bloodline formation!
In his previous life, Qin Chen was the continent's top genius bloodline master, so he naturally had a good impression of the Bloodline Sacred Land.
"Indeed, we are bloodline masters from the Bloodline Sacred Land. I am Yue Chaolun, the Internal Affairs Elder," Yue Chaolun replied respectfully.
In fact, with his status, he didn't need to show respect to a mere disciple from the Alchemy Pavilion. In this expedition of the Bloodline Sacred Land, he was akin to Situ Zhen from the Alchemy Pavilion, a leader-level figure.
However, since Qin Chen had saved all of them, he felt a heartfelt gratitude.
"Internal Affairs Elder?" Qin Chen was even more surprised. "May I ask which area of internal affairs you manage? Punishments? Personnel? Finance? Or coordination?"
In the Bloodline Sacred Land, elders were divided into many ranks. Of course, any elder was a top figure, but the real core elders were all Martial God level characters. Below the core elders of Martial God rank, there were two types: External Affairs Elders and Internal Affairs Elders.
