Zongman: I, the true ancestor of the blood clan, join the chat group

Minato Namikaze paused slightly, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he looked up into the distance, as if recalling the disturbing past.

"Six years ago, a man who called himself An Lushan came to Loulan. This man was Baizu's alias."

"He relied on his extraordinary wisdom and tactics to successfully become a minister of Loulan."

"At first, everything seemed calm, but as time went on, we noticed something was wrong."

Minato Namikaze's voice was low and solemn, with a hint of worry.

"We discovered that he was secretly developing a puppet army by leveraging the mysterious and powerful power of the dragon veins."

"These puppets, with their strange movements and astonishing power, have posed a serious threat to the interests of neighboring powers."

Having said that, Minato Namikaze clenched his fists tightly, and a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes.

"The situation between major powers is inherently delicate and complex, with every move affecting the entire system. His move is undoubtedly like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves."

"In order to prevent his conspiracy from expanding further and maintain peace and stability in the ninja world, we from Konoha have sent out elite ninjas to investigate and try to stop his evil deeds."

Minato Namikaze looked determined, with a sense of mission in his eyes.

Sarah's face became more solemn as she listened. She bit her lip slightly, her eyes full of worry and self-blame.

"Why... I didn't even notice An Lushan's conspiracy. What have I done all these years..."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and her self-blame was evident in her words.

Bai Ye gently patted Sarah's shoulder and comforted her:

"Don't blame yourself. Since he planned this so carefully, he must have done everything he could to hide his intentions. It's not too late to discover it now."

Bai Ye looked at Minato Namikaze and the others calmly, his expression showing calmness and confidence, and he said slowly:

"Next, I will take Sarah to find the people of Loulan. You can go and complete your mission."

His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the air with a reassuring power.

"In that case, I'll leave Queen Sarah in your care for now... We still have some important intelligence to investigate..."

Minato Namikaze's tone was very polite to Bai Ye.

After that, Minato and the other two put on their masks again, their movements coordinated and swift, like well-trained soldiers.

They disappeared in a flash like ghosts.

Only a cloud of dust was left, rising slightly in the air, and then it disappeared in an instant, as if they had never appeared.

Bai Ye looked in the direction where Minato Namikaze and others disappeared, turned slightly, and his eyes fell gently on Sarah.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly with a soothing smile: "It's time for us to set off. Come with me."

As he spoke, he naturally took Sarah's hand gently.

His palm was dry and warm, wrapping around Sarah's small hand, as if conveying a reassuring power.

Sarah was slightly startled, and a faint blush instantly appeared on her cheeks.

She subconsciously wanted to break free, but was inexplicably greedy for this warmth. In the end, she just bit her lower lip lightly and let Bai Ye pull her towards an unknown direction.

The two walked along a narrow alley, and the mottled sunlight shone on them through the gaps between the houses on both sides, forming patches of golden light.

Sarah secretly looked up at Bai Ye from time to time, her eyes full of curiosity and confusion.

Finally, she couldn't help but speak: "You seem too familiar with this place, as if... you have been here countless times."

Her voice was soft and inquiring, and it was especially clear in the quiet alley.

Bai Ye's mouth corners rose slightly, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, but he did not answer directly.

Instead, he stopped, gently let go of Sarah's hand, raised his hand, and gently placed his index finger on her brow.

His movements were gentle and slow, as if he was performing a sacred ritual. The warmth from his fingertips made Sarah's heart beat faster involuntarily.

"Don't worry, you will understand next."

Bai Ye's voice was low and magnetic, echoing softly in Sarah's ears.

In an instant, a wonderful power surged into Sarah's mind, and her eyes suddenly widened, flashing with surprise and shock.

"I saw it... I really saw it... This... This is simply amazing!"

Sarah cried out in shock, her face full of disbelief.

Her eyes looked through the scene before her, as if she saw the entire picture of Loulan.

Those corners that were usually shrouded in darkness were now exposed to her without reservation.

In that dark and damp secret room, the people of Loulan were working hard, their faces full of fatigue and helplessness.

On the high platform of the palace, the puppet queen was mechanically waving her wooden hands, signaling to her subjects, looking weird and terrifying.

Sarah's pupils suddenly constricted, and the expression on her face froze instantly. She unconsciously covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of fear and anger.

"How could this happen... How could An Lushan treat my people like this!"

Sarah's voice trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Her body trembled slightly, obviously deeply hurt by the scene before her.

Bai Ye gently put his arm around Sarah's shoulders, holding her slightly trembling body in his arms, and smiled softly:

"You are the queen of Loulan, how can you be so depressed?"

His voice was low and gentle, with just the right amount of teasing, and it echoed softly in Sarah's ears, his warm breath ruffling her hair.

Hearing Bai Ye's comfort, Sarah's originally dim eyes lit up instantly. There were still tears in her eyes, but she had become more determined and dependent.

She raised her head slightly and looked into the white night. Crystal tears hung on her long eyelashes, sparkling with tiny rays of light in the sunlight.

"I...I understand, but I really can't do it alone. Can you help me?"

Her voice was soft and coquettish, and her slightly pouty lips made her look even more charming.

Bai Ye's lips curled up into a wicked smile, which was a bit cunning and playful.

He slowly reached out his hand and gently lifted Sarah's chin with his fingers. His movements were gentle but carried an irresistible force.

The distance between the two of them instantly shortened, so close that they could feel each other's breath.

"It's no problem for me to help you, but...is there any reward?"

There was a playful glint in his eyes as he stared straight into Sarah's, as if trying to see through her thoughts.

Sarah's cheeks turned red instantly, spreading from her cheeks to her ears, even her small earlobes turned red.

She hurriedly avoided Bai Ye's fiery gaze, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes, lowered her head slightly, and whispered:

"What reward do you want?"

Her voice was as small as a mosquito's, but it trembled slightly due to nervousness.

Chapter 252 You... How could you do this...

A gentle breeze blew by, and the wild flowers in the alley swayed gently, emitting a faint fragrance.

Bai Ye's eyes were fixed on Sarah, with a smirk on his face, as he slowly approached.

There was a mixture of anticipation and a hint of mischief in his eyes, and when he was just inches away from Sarah, he turned his face slightly to the side.

Pointing to her own face, she said in a low voice, somewhat bewitchingly: "How about kissing here?"

Sarah's heartbeat suddenly quickened, like a rapid drumbeat.

Her eyes wandered around in panic, not daring to look directly into Bai Ye's burning gaze, and her pink tongue unconsciously licked her dry lips.

Her hands were tugging at the corners of her clothes, her fingertips turning white from the force, her heart filled with confusion and shyness.

After hesitating for a while, Sarah took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision, and slowly moved forward.

Her eyes were slightly closed, her long eyelashes trembled constantly, and her whole body was shaking with nervousness.

Just when her lips were about to touch Bai Ye's cheek, Bai Ye suddenly turned his head.

Sarah didn't have time to react before their lips touched.

Sarah's eyes widened instantly, her eyes filled with shock and panic.

Her hands subconsciously wanted to push Bai Ye away, but seemed to have lost the strength and rested limply on his chest.

Bai Ye's arms went around Sarah's waist, holding her gently tighter and deepening the kiss.

Sarah's cheeks were hot, as if they could burn. Her breathing became rapid and disordered, and the warm breath gently brushed across Bai Ye's face.

After an unknown amount of time, the two slowly separated.

Sarah lowered her head, not daring to look at Bai Ye. The blush on her face became more and more intense, like the gorgeous sunset in the sky.

"You...how could you do this..."

Her voice was small and filled with reproach, but there was not much anger in her slightly trembling tone.

Bai Ye smiled softly, reached out and gently lifted Sarah's chin, letting her look at him, his eyes full of tenderness and pampering:

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. But I will help you save Loulan. I mean what I say."

Sarah bit her lower lip slightly, her eyes flickering with a hint of shyness and sweetness as she nodded gently.

"Well...I believe you."

Bai Ye gently took Sarah's hand, and the warmth of his palm warmed Sarah's heart.

He lowered his head slightly and whispered in Sarah's ear, "Let's go to the dragon vein and uncover An Lushan's conspiracy."

Sarah's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded gently, letting Bai Ye pull her forward.

Along the way, the two figures shuttled through the mottled light and shadow. Occasionally, their eyes met, and then they quickly looked away. The air was filled with a hint of sweetness and shyness.

Soon, they arrived at the square where the dragon vein was located.

Bai Ye brought Sarah to a hidden exhaust vent. He squatted down, checked it carefully, then turned to look at Sarah.

"It's a little narrow here, and it might be a little uncomfortable. If you're scared, just hold on to my hand."

Sara bit her lower lip, a firmness flashed in her eyes: “I’m not afraid, as long as I’m with you.”

Bai Ye smiled slightly and went into the exhaust vent first. Sarah took a deep breath and followed.

It was dark and damp inside, filled with a pungent smell.

They moved forward cautiously, and occasionally drops of water fell from the wall of the pipe, making crisp sounds in the silent space.

Finally, they came to a spacious space.

The sight before her made Sarah gasp.

Countless ragged young or middle-aged men were huddled together, struggling to push the huge machinery and create puppet soldiers.

Their faces were full of fatigue and helplessness, their clothes were soaked with sweat, but they did not dare to stop moving their hands for even a moment.

“This…how could this happen!?”

Sarah's voice trembled, her eyes burning with anger. Her hands were clenched into fists, and her body was shaking slightly with anger.

"An Lushan, how could he be so cruel as to treat my people as slaves!"

Bai Ye gently put his arm around Sarah's shoulders, held her slightly trembling body in his arms, and comforted her softly:

"Don't get excited. Now that we're here, we won't let him continue to do evil."

His voice was low and firm, with a reassuring power.

Sarah leaned in Bai Ye's arms, feeling his warmth and strength, and the anger in her heart gradually turned into firm determination.

"We must stop him and rescue these innocent people."

She raised her head, a determined light flashing in her eyes, and looked at Bai Ye and said...

Bai Ye nodded lightly, his eyes showing determination:

"Don't worry, I'm here."

He patted Sarah's back gently, giving her peace of mind.

Then he took her hand and walked steadily towards the people who were working.

At this moment, a depressing atmosphere permeated the dim space.
