The old woman’s actions immediately stunned everyone present. She had been menacing just moments before, leading the villagers of Gu Zhi to believe she was about to go mad. Yet, in the blink of an eye, her aura stabilized. She remained motionless even as Li Xiaotian and Gu Qing attacked her in tandem, showing no anger.
“Yue’e, what is the matter?” an elder who had just arrived asked, his tone laced with a hint of anger.
Li Xiaotian was a guest in their Gu Zhi village. If one of their own Dominator-level powerhouses suddenly lost control and attempted to abduct his wife and daughter in front of him, it would tarnish the reputation of Gu Zhi village once it spread.
Who treated honored guests in such a manner? Not to mention that Li Xiaotian had also benefited Gu Zhi village.
“You, move aside!” the old woman Yue’e said, ignoring the elder. She addressed Li Xiaotian, her voice trembling slightly.
Li Xiaotian remained still, looking at her warily.
Seeing his reaction, Yue’e’s voice softened. She then turned her gaze towards Ye Qingmei and her daughter, who were behind Li Xiaotian, and spoke.
“It was my impulsiveness, child. I mean no harm. Let me see them.”
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but reach out.
Li Xiaotian, seeing this, took a few steps back with his wife and daughter. He then turned to Gu Qing, his expression filled with confusion.
Gu Qing was also quite perplexed. Then, a moment later, he was struck with excitement. He looked at the old woman Yue’e and asked,
“Grandma Yue, are they of the Yue family bloodline?”
“Descendants of Lord Yue? This… Yue’e, have you sensed the bloodline power within them?”
The Dominator-level elder of the Gu family spoke, his face filled with astonishment, as he looked at the old woman Yue’e.
In ancient times, there was only one invincible family among the Human Race whose lineage was exceptionally sparse. Unlike other invincible families, this was the lineage of the invincible “Yue.”
Yue was the only female invincible of ancient times. Because her cultivation method was only suitable for women, only females could inherit her cultivation method among her descendants.
As for males, although they possessed the invincible bloodline, they could not cultivate Yue’s methods. Consequently, they were unable to fully utilize the power of their invincible bloodline.
Moreover, as only females could inherit the cultivation method, this led to the invincible bloodline within Yue’s descendants becoming increasingly diluted. By the late ancient period, many descendants no longer possessed the invincible bloodline at all.
However, this did not mean that Yue’s descendants were weak. Every woman who awakened the invincible bloodline possessed terrifying talent and speed in cultivation, and their strength placed them among the elite of their generation.
At one point, a woman from the Yue family had swept through the contemporary strong individuals of the Human Race, her power reaching the terrifying peak of the Heaven rank. In that era, who in the Human Race did not know of the Yue family?
As the strongest person in the Human Race despite being a woman, she had completely suppressed the male powerhouses of that time.
Unfortunately, that woman eventually failed in her attempt to achieve invincibility, resulting in severe injuries. She eventually died as her lifespan ran out.
Furthermore, the Yue family suffered a devastating blow in the late ancient period, being annihilated overnight. Only one Heaven-rank powerhouse and Yue’e, who was then at the late Imperial stage, survived because they were away on an outing.
It was precisely because of this that the personalities of the two surviving women of the Yue family changed drastically. During the great battle against the Demon Race in the late ancient period, they instilled such fear in the demonic beasts that they shivered.
Regrettably, the two women of the Yue family later searched multiple times for women with the Yue bloodline flowing in their veins, but they found none.
Upon awakening in this life, the old woman Yue’e had also gone out searching several times, but she found no women with the Yue bloodline, which made her temperament even more irritable. She had already lost hope.
But who would have thought that Li Xiaotian’s wife and daughter were descendants of Yue, and both had awakened the invincible bloodline?
“Let me see them, let me see them.”
Yue’e ignored the words of those around her, her gaze fixed on Ye Qingmei and her daughter. Her fingers trembled slightly, and her voice became much gentler, even carrying a hint of entreaty.
“Young friend, may Yue’e have a look at them?”
The elder from the Gu family spoke to Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian frowned. He still felt uneasy. After all, his wife and daughter were behind him, and the other party was a Dominator-level powerhouse. A mere flicker of aura from her could spell the death of his wife and daughter. He dared not gamble.
“Li Xiaotian, let Grandma Yue take a look at them. Don’t worry, if they are truly descendants of Lord Yue, Grandma Yue will absolutely not harm them,”
Gu Qing said to Li Xiaotian, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. After all, the fate of the Yue family evoked much sympathy.
“Mom, why is this grandma so sad?”
Tiantian said softly. Although she had been frightened by the old woman Yue’e before, seeing her like this now, she couldn’t help but feel pity for her.
“Xiaotian, let’s go over and try. I feel this senior doesn’t have any ill intentions towards us,”
Ye Qingmei said, gently patting Li Xiaotian’s shoulder.
Li Xiaotian relented. He looked at Gu Qing and the powerhouse from the Gu family. Both gave him reassuring glances. Even if Yue’e suddenly lost control, they would do their utmost to protect the lives of Ye Qingmei and her daughter.
Ye Qingmei, holding Tiantian, walked to the side of the old woman Yue’e, her expression tinged with apprehension.
“Child, don’t be afraid,” the old woman Yue’e said excitedly. Then, she extended a finger and gently touched the foreheads of Ye Qingmei and Tiantian.
Instantly, a ray of moonlight shone upon Ye Qingmei and her daughter. Following this, their bodies emitted a pure white glow.
“This… they are truly descendants of Lord Yue. Both of them have awakened their bloodline power!”
The person from the Gu family watched, his face filled with shock. Immediately thereafter, his expression became excited.
“The Yue family still has descendants in later generations, and two of them at that! Both have awakened the invincible bloodline. Heaven blesses the Yue family!”
Gu Qing was thrilled. Only those from ancient times understood how difficult it was to awaken the Yue family bloodline.
One must realize that even during the Yue family’s peak prosperity, only a few women in each generation could awaken it. There were even generations where only one, or none, awakened it.
Since they were all women, and women would marry and leave the Yue family, this led to the invincible bloodline becoming increasingly scarce.
And now, after an entire ancient era had passed, two descendants had appeared who had awakened the Yue bloodline. This shocked everyone present.
“Children, it’s you, it’s you! Finally, I’ve found you. Ancestors bless me, Heaven does not abandon my Yue family!”
The old woman Yue’e burst into tears on the spot. A Dominator-level powerhouse crying openly in front of everyone showed how much Ye Qingmei and her daughter meant to her.
“My aunt and I have been searching for ten thousand years, ten thousand years! I thought Lord Yue’s bloodline would end with the two of us, but unexpectedly, we have finally waited for you.”
Yue’e spoke, her body trembling. She extended her hands and hugged Ye Qingmei and her daughter tightly, tears streaming from her eyes.
“Grandma, don’t cry,” Tiantian said, reaching out to wipe away the old woman Yue’e’s tears.
“Child, thank you, thank you. You’re so good. Grandma won’t cry, Grandma won’t cry,”
Yue’e gently stroked Tiantian’s face and said softly.
