He would have suffered a great loss, but the event he feared did not come to pass; the attack from Ancestor Gu Hanyu was incredibly concentrated.

It transformed into an incomparably sharp blade of light that passed through the body of the Black Blood Fist Saint, instantly cleaving his body into two halves.

Boom! The Black Blood Fist Saint's body exploded, transforming into countless black blood threads that pierced through the void, fleeing into the distance from another dimension.

They vanished in an instant. Elder Tree said in a low voice, "He can still escape just the same."

Ancestor Gu Hanyu sheathed his battle blade, his body rapidly shrinking back to its normal size.

He looked at Elder Tree and asked, "Why have you come down? What is the situation up there?"

It sounded like an interrogation, but anyone could hear that his words were filled with concern.

At the same time, there was the joy of old friends reuniting after many years. Hearing this, Lin Moyu knew.

Ancestor Gu Hanyu must be a man with a cold exterior but a warm heart. Elder Tree chuckled, "I was able to come down."

"Naturally, it means I've already taken care of it. As for that guy up there, you've fallen behind this time."

"Tell me, how many times did he escape from you?" Ancestor Gu Hanyu snorted lightly. "As if an old guy like you could handle it."

"I'd be a ghost if I believed you." Elder Tree laughed. "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"It's the truth." Ancestor Gu Hanyu clearly didn't believe him. "Stop with the nonsense."

"Why did you come here?" Elder Tree said, "There's a young fellow who wants to see you."

"I'm just here to show the way." Lin Moyu walked over and bowed to Ancestor Gu Hanyu.

"Junior Lin Moyu greets Senior Gu." Ancestor Gu Hanyu looked Lin Moyu up and down. "You are only in the Dao Venerable 4th Realm."

"How did you get here? Who opened the formation for you?" Before Lin Moyu could speak.

Elder Tree had already snorted, "Old Gu, why are you so rude? The young fellow is, at the very least, my friend."

"You should be a bit more polite." Ancestor Gu Hanyu glanced at Elder Tree. "Where was I being impolite?"

Elder Tree scoffed, "Whether you were polite or not, you know yourself. Young Friend Lin, this guy's temper is a bit strange."

"After all, his surname is Gu, so it's normal for him to be a bit odd. Don't take it to heart. He is called Ancestor Gu Hanyu."

"You can just call him by his name, or call him Old Man Gu." Lin Moyu naturally understood.

In fact, Elder Tree was speaking up for Ancestor Gu Hanyu; he was afraid that Ancestor Gu Hanyu would be rude to Lin Moyu, causing him to turn around and leave.

Elder Tree knew very well that without his help, they would have a very hard time killing the Remnant Soul of the Black Blood Fist Saint.

As long as the Remnant Soul of the Black Blood Fist Saint was not eliminated, they would be unable to leave and unable to obtain their freedom.

Lin Moyu naturally wouldn't address him by his full name, and after knowing Ancestor Gu Hanyu's temper, he wouldn't get angry because of his words.

Lin Moyu said, "It was the Hanshui Holy Land. The current Holy Master, Gu Hanbing, opened the formation for this junior."

Ancestor Gu Hanyu raised an eyebrow. "It seems they still followed my instructions and established a force here."

The history of the Hanshui Holy Land was long and deep. Ancestor Gu Hanyu had existed for a very long time; the 9th-level glacier appeared during the Origin Catastrophe.

The Hanshui Holy Land appeared only long after the Origin Catastrophe had ended. During that period of time.

There were other forces outside the 9th-level glacier. After the Hanshui Holy Land appeared, those forces were driven away.

The 9th-level glacier truly belonged to the Hanshui Holy Land. Lin Moyu said, "The Hanshui Holy Land has been established for many years."

"The 9th-level glacier is within the Holy Land, and the Gu family members are all doing well. Nowadays, it has become a top-tier force among the human race."

"Senior, you do not need to worry." As he said this, Lin Moyu took out the bloodline jade pendant; it contained the bloodline left behind by Gu Hanbing.

Ancestor Gu Hanyu would definitely be able to sense it. Ancestor Gu Hanyu took the jade pendant and glanced at it, his expression unchanged.

He still looked at Lin Moyu. "Although I did not give any special instructions, however."

"The 9th-level glacier is not a place anyone can just enter. Why would the Gu family open the formation for you?" Lin Moyu said.

"This junior and the current Holy Master of the Hanshui Holy Land are in love and I wish to take her as my wife, but the Holy Land has a rule."

"The Holy Master is not allowed to marry. This rule is said to have been set by you, and the descendants of the Gu family dare not change it without authorization."

"That is why this junior came down to find you, hoping you could change the rule." Ancestor Gu Hanyu's expression changed slightly.

"Bullshit! When did I ever set such a rule?" Lin Moyu asked curiously, "You didn't set it?"

Ancestor Gu Hanyu said firmly, "Of course I didn't."

"When a man and a woman are in love, of course they can get married. What does that have to do with being a Holy Master?"

"It is commonplace to find a Dao companion in the Great Dao Realm. What is the matter? A Holy Master is not some one-of-a-kind treasure."

"Why can't she get married?" Elder Tree listened from the side and laughed heartily, "What you said."

"I love hearing that. Your temper is actually useful sometimes." Lin Moyu thought for a moment.

"The Hanshui Holy Land does indeed have this rule. It is said to have been passed down from the ancestors, so the source must be you."

"Please think again. What did you say back then?" Ancestor Gu Hanyu frowned.

Although countless years had passed, the memories of the Great Dao Realm would not be lost. He said in a low voice, "Could it be that sentence?"

Elder Tree asked with a smile, "What did you remember?" Ancestor Gu Hanyu said, "Back then, I only instructed them to do their best to ensure the inheritance of the bloodline."

"Could it be that this sentence caused the problem?" Slap, Elder Tree slapped his thigh. "That's right, this is the sentence that caused the problem."

Chapter 3374: But Why Should This Old Man Change It?

"Ensure the inheritance of the bloodline." The best way is intermarriage within the clan, not marrying outsiders.

Of course, this is not absolute; some with weak bloodlines can be married off to outsiders. As for those with strong bloodlines, they naturally cannot be married off to outsiders.

In fact, many families use this method to ensure the purity of their own bloodlines.

Although the human race does not possess special bloodlines like the demon race, the human race also pays attention to the purity of its own bloodline.

There is a saying among the human race: "Those who are not of our race must have a different heart." This saying can be applied to the entire human race, or it can be applied to a single family.

The rules of the Hanshui Holy Land were established and perfected generation after generation in this way. To become a Holy Master, one's bloodline must be strong and pure.

Then, to ensure the inheritance of the bloodline, the Holy Master must not be married off to an outsider.

Either they do not marry, or they find a clansman with an equally strong bloodline within the clan to marry. Ancestor Gu Hanyu was naturally not stupid.

He immediately understood what was going on. He said in a low voice, "That was not what I meant back then."

Lin Moyu said, "What you meant back then is actually no longer important. You could set the rules back then, and now you can also change the rules."

Elder Tree said, "Exactly. You set the rules, so why not just change them? It's just a matter of saying one sentence."

Ancestor Gu Hanyu nodded. "That makes some sense, but why should this old man change it?"

"Huh?" Lin Moyu and Elder Tree were both stunned for a moment, looking at Ancestor Gu Hanyu in utter confusion.

Ancestor Gu Hanyu's train of thought seemed different from what they had imagined. Ancestor Gu Hanyu said.

"I am, after all, the Ancestor of the Gu family. If you want to be my Gu family's son-in-law, you must at least let me know if you have the qualifications."

"So that's what it is." Lin Moyu breathed a sigh of relief. "How do you want this junior to prove it?"

Elder Tree scoffed, "Old Gu, Young Friend Lin managed to walk here—isn't that proof enough?"

Ancestor Gu Hanyu said, "There are many ways to walk here. Perhaps he has a powerful magical treasure to protect him, or perhaps he was escorted by others. This is not enough."

Elder Tree frowned and snorted angrily, "What is wrong with you? You were stubborn before, and after so many years, you've become even worse."

"I'll tell you the truth: the Black Blood Remnant Soul in the 8th-level region was cleared with the help of Young Friend Lin. Otherwise, do you think I could be here so freely?"

Ancestor Gu Hanyu looked at Lin Moyu. "He killed the Black Blood Remnant Soul?" He clearly did not believe it.

Even he, in the Great Dao Realm, could not kill the Black Blood Remnant Soul. What ability did a little fellow like Lin Moyu, in the Dao Venerable 4th Realm, have to do it?

"You don't believe it, right!" Elder Tree snorted coldly. "Young Friend Lin, show your Great Dao Essence Fire to this guy and let him take a look."

Lin Moyu flipped his palm, and a ball of flames rose up. The World-Burning Fire was different from ordinary flames; its unique aura was extraordinary at first glance.

Someone like Ancestor Gu Hanyu, in the Great Dao Realm, could naturally recognize it. He couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "Great Dao Essence Fire!"

Elder Tree chuckled, looking triumphant. "Now you know, right? Young Friend Lin can even control the Great Dao Essence Fire."

"Marrying your descendant is a blessing you accumulated in your past life. Being able to control the Great Dao Essence Fire means that Lin Moyu's talent, destiny, and future are all immeasurable."

Ancestor Gu Hanyu said, "Since ancient times, it is not that there haven't been those who could control the Great Dao Essence Fire, but only true powerhouses could do so."

"You have controlled the Great Dao Essence Fire while only in the Dao Venerable 4th Realm; this is indeed unprecedented. It's no wonder you were able to kill the Black Blood Remnant Soul."

Seeing the Great Dao Essence Fire, Ancestor Gu Hanyu finally completely accepted Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu said, "Senior, you still haven't said how you want this junior to prove it."

Ancestor Gu Hanyu said, "You have the Great Dao Essence Fire, which is enough to prove your ability. How about doing this old man a favor?"

Lin Moyu said, "Do you want this junior to find a way to kill the Black Blood Fist Saint?"

Ancestor Gu Hanyu nodded. "That's right. This guy is too cunning. Once he can't win, he will turn into blood and escape."

"I have chased and killed him for countless years and fought him countless times, but in the end, he has escaped time and time again."

Lin Moyu said, "This junior has a way to trap and kill him. Even if he turns into blood to escape, he won't be able to get away."

"However, this junior has one thing I don't understand. Shouldn't the Black Blood Fist Saint be trapped under the glacier? Why did it come out?"

"There is no glacier tea tree here. Logically speaking, the Black Blood Remnant Soul should have been suppressed under the glacier. How did it escape?"

Ancestor Gu Hanyu said, "The 9th-level region is different from the previous eight. The Black Blood Remnant Soul here is not suppressed by the glacier."

"That is why I am stationed here, so that it cannot escape. Elder Tree and I jointly drive a strange treasure."

"However, our abilities are limited, and our control over the strange treasure is also limited. The soul of the Black Blood Fist Saint was shattered."

"The portion in the Ice Glacier is slightly larger, so most of the power of the strange treasure is concentrated there."

"Next are the 9th-level and 8th-level regions. The power of the strange treasure we can drive can only suppress one of the two regions."

"My strength is slightly stronger, so I am stationed in the 9th-level region, while the Remnant Soul in the 8th-level region is frozen and guarded by Elder Tree."

Elder Tree immediately called out, "Old Gu, what you said is not fair. Where am I inferior to you?"

Ancestor Gu Hanyu did not argue. "I didn't say you were inferior to me." Elder Tree picked up his cane and pointed at Ancestor Gu Hanyu.

"You clearly said it! You said your strength is slightly stronger." Ancestor Gu Hanyu said, "I was telling the truth."

"You are in the mid-stage of the 8th-rank Innate Soul, and I am in the late-stage." Elder Tree said.

"Indeed, my cultivation level is a tiny bit worse than yours, but so what?"

"I am a glacier tea tree. If we really fought, you might not be my opponent."

Ancestor Gu Hanyu was noncommittal. "Your cultivation level is indeed not as good as mine." Elder Tree was so angry he yelled.

"I will fight you! Let's see who is stronger!"
