Chapter 723 – The Truth of the King’s Blood

　　As this Phantom Cross disappeared, hideous blood scars surfaced on the Snow Maiden’s body, and she took a weak step forward, the vitality in her eyes fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　　Flop!

　　Her body fell heavily to the ground.

　　The blizzard in the sky began to dissipate, and Lin Qiye slowly sheathed both of his Scourge of Zin blades as he let out a long breath of relief.

　　A flower bud blossomed on the Snow Maiden’s body, nearly completely submerging her body, and as the demonic flower opened, the Snow Maiden’s body withered rapidly.

　　An extremely pure power surged through the Forbidden Ruins and into Lin Qiye’s body.

　　He could clearly feel that under the infusion of this power, his realm began to rise once again, soaring all the way to the peak of the “Sea” realm, already hitting the bottleneck of entering the “Limitless” realm.

　　If it wasn’t for the fact that the [Eternal Secret Garden] itself had sucked away most of the power, Lin Qiye would have thought that he could have stepped into the Limitless Realm by now, after all, he had killed a Mystic of the Klein Realm and dozens of weaker demons.

　　Lin Qiye felt the state of his realm and was about to turn around when a warm and soft figure rushed over from behind and hugged him.

　　Lin Qiye froze.

　　”Jia Lan?” Lin Qiye turned back and saw Jia Lan who was hugging him tightly from behind and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with you?”

　　”Don’t talk.”

　　Jia Lan leaned her head against Lin Qiye’s back and hugged his hands a little tighter, she closed her eyes as if she was enjoying something and spoke in a small voice, “Let me hug you for a while longer ……”

　　Lin Qiye was a bit at a loss for words, but he didn’t push Caran away either, but just stood still, a gentle color surfacing in his eyes under the mask.

　　Wu Xiangnan and the knight, who had already basically resolved the other demons, walked over, and when they saw this scene in front of them, their expressions suddenly became odd.

　　”What is …… this?” Wu Xiangnan looked at Jia Lan who was tightly hugging Lin Qiye and refusing to let go and couldn’t help but ask.

　　Jia Lan still wouldn’t let go.

　　Lin Qiye touched his head somewhat awkwardly, took off that Monkey King mask, and said with a smile, “Vice team, long time no see.”

　　”Lin Qiye?!”

　　When Wu Xiangnan saw that familiar face, he first froze, then spoke in surprise, “So it’s you …… Oh no, I shouldn’t call you Lin Qiye now, I should call you Captain Lin.”

　　The current Lin Qiye was no longer the rookie of the 136th squad in Cangnan City back then, he was the captain of the fifth special squad of the Daxia Vigilantes, the new generation of Vigilantes leaders who carried an important mission.

　　Lin Qiye smiled helplessly, “Vice squad, you’d better call me Lin Qiye, how dare I call myself a captain in front of you ……”

　　In Lin Qiye’s heart, the only person who could afford to have Wu Xiangnan call out “captain” was the captain of Team 136 back then, Chen Muye.

　　Without Chen Muye, there would be no current Lin Qiye.

　　Wu Xiangnan carefully sized up Lin Qiye for a long time, an approving smile appeared on his face, he patted Lin Qiye’s shoulder and said, “You’re a good kid, you didn’t bring shame to our 136th squad, if Red Tassel Prayer Ink and the others saw what you’ve accomplished now, they’d definitely be very happy as well.”

　　The knight sheathed his western longsword and walked up to the two, asking suspiciously:

　　”This is ……”

　　”The fifth special squad of the Great Summer Vigilantes, [Night Curtain] squad leader, Lin Qiye.” Lin Qiye shook the knight’s hand and said, “You are the ‘Sentinel’ of the Upper Evil Society?”

　　Hearing the latter sentence, the knight keenly sensed something, “You know my identity? You’ve met the ‘paratrooper’?”

　　Lin Qiye nodded, “He’s over at the entrance.”

　　Lin Qiye briefly talked about what happened, only deliberately blurring the process of meeting with the ‘paratrooper’, after all, if this person knew that he had sent someone to violently beat up Wei Dong, there would always be a bit of shame on his face…….

　　After listening to Lin Qiye’s description, the knight realized why Wei Dong didn’t wait for them at the “gap”, he nodded, “Alright, then we’ll go and meet up with him first, and exchange information together.”

　　The Caran Knights and the others were in control of the information outside the “Human Circle”, while Lin Qiye Wei Dong was in control of the information inside the “Human Circle”, so as long as the two sides exchanged information, they would be able to make a preliminary assessment of the “Human Circle” destruction plan. As long as the two sides exchanged information, they could immediately make a preliminary assessment of this “Circle of Man” destruction plan.

　　Lin Qiye gave a hmmm and took two steps forward before his eyes were drawn to the black temple that stood above the ruins.

　　He hadn’t been distracted to pay attention to it during the battle earlier, and now that he saw the silver-colored sphere held in the idol’s hands, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity ……

　　”That’s ……” Lin Qiye frowned slightly.

　　Wu Xiangnan followed his gaze and realization surfaced in his eyes as he opened his mouth to explain, “That’s the idol of Amaterasu Omikami from Japanese mythology.”

　　In fact, Lin Qiye wasn’t asking about the stone statue itself, but the silver-colored ball of light in his hand, he frowned and gazed at the ball of light for a long time, finally remembering where he had felt this familiar aura.

　　It was the Origin!

　　Before Ni Lux left, she left Lin Qiye with the Black Night Origin, and it was this Black Night Origin that gave Lin Qiye the possibility to harbor his own laws, which was the most valuable gift Ni Lux had ever given him.

　　The silver-colored ball of light in front of him also exuded an aura of “origin”, but it wasn’t quite the same as Lin Qiye’s Black Night Origin.

　　This was a different kind of origin?

　　At this moment, Lin Qiye’s mind flashed, and many of the questions that had been troubling him became clear the moment he saw this silver-colored ball of light.

　　In his mind, he recalled the words of Amamiya Haruhui, “King’s blood is an extremely rare physique …… that unconsciously exudes an emperor-like aura when he raises his hands and throws his feet …… with an unusually handsome appearance and an extremely high IQ, able to be recognized without obtaining the approval of the Banezu Blade to use their power …… King’s blood can be acquired later …… Yuzuri Kurotetsu went to the ruins once and came out with king’s blood …… ”

　　Could it be that the so-called King’s Blood refers to the “Origin”?

　　Yuzuru Pear Kurotsuchi unintentionally touched this “origin” when he entered the ruins, and his own physique was very compatible with this “origin”, so he was not eroded by the “origin” and died. Instead of being eroded by the “Origin” and dying, there is a trace of the power of the “Origin” in the bloodline. ……

　　As for why there was only a trace, Lin Qiye also had an idea. Yuzuri Kurotetsu wasn’t Lin Qiye, he didn’t have Nyx to help him absorb the Origin, and before that, he hadn’t obtained a Divine Ruin that matched the Origin through the Asylum of the Gods, so he couldn’t completely absorb the entire Origin. But just this tiny bit of the “Origin” was not enough.

　　But just this trace of the power of the “Origin” was enough to change his physique, thus possessing the so-called “King’s Blood”.

　　And this was also the beginning of all the subsequent stories.
