Three Years of Blood Servitude

In the Eastern Profound Continent, within the city of Yebei.

Inside a secret chamber of the Wang Mansion, a woman was opening a stone door. With a resounding creak, the door slowly swung open.

The scene before her eyes revealed a frail and gaunt young man. He was firmly bound by several black iron chains, and was securely fastened behind the stone door. The young man's complexion was pallid, devoid of any hint of color, and only faint sounds of breathing proved that he was still alive.

The woman advanced gracefully towards the weakened youth.

"Su Yang, today is the last time that I come for your blood. Actually, I've never expected that you would hold on for this long. It took me entire three years to completely drain the Supreme Blood within you. Truly, you have endured much," the woman remarked, and her tone was cold as ice.

"Wang...Wang Yiyi, even if you drain the blood within me... what difference does it make? That bloodline will never be yours. I, Su Yang, even in death, will not forgive you!"

The youth named Su Yang was originally the young master of the Su family in Yebei City, once the pride of the Su family and the most renowned young talent in the city. Possessing the Supreme Bloodline, he entered the Spirit Transformation Realm at the age of three, achieved the True Martial Realm at five, and astonishingly entered the Three Mysteries Realm at the age of ten.

With such a halo, Su Yang was expected to become the first person in Yebei City to break through to the Divine Martial Realm before the age of fifteen.

However, a marriage changed everything, and Su Yang also vanished from the eyes of the public.

In Yebei City, there were three major forces: the City Lord's Mansion, the Su Family, and the Wang Family. The appearance of the Supreme Bloodline, thanks to Su Yang, led both the City Lord's Mansion and the Wang Family to seek an alliance with the Su Family.

When Su Yang was twelve years old, the three families sat together and let him choose his future wife. They arranged the engagement, intending to hold the wedding after he turned fifteen.

It remains a mystery why Su Yang, at that time, chose the daughter of the Wang Family, who was exactly the woman now in the secret chamber, Wang Yiyi.

It wasn't until Su Yang was framed and betrayed by the Wang Family, locked behind the secret chamber's door with eight soul-binding iron chains, that he truly understood the so-called alliance was a massive conspiracy.

The Supreme Bloodline was rare in itself. Additionally, Wang Yiyi possessed the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix. If the two bloodlines could merge and complement each other, the Wang Family would undoubtedly give birth to a superlative expert, rendering the City Lord's Mansion and the Su Family insignificant.

Thus, for the past three years, Wang Yiyi would visit the secret chamber and extract a vial of the Supreme Blood from Su Yang every three days.

Su Yang could no longer recall how he had endured in these three years.

The entire Su Family fell into internal strife after he had disappeared. Su Yang's parents were betrayed by the ambitious elders vying for the position of family head and were exiled. Others related to him were either transferred elsewhere or publicly executed by the elders as a warning.

From then on, the Su Family completely declined, manipulated by the elders and becoming the puppet of the Wang Family.

"Su Yang, rest assure. I'm not someone ungrateful. Thanks to the blood you generously offered, I have successfully entered the Three Mysteries Realm. Today, after extracting your blood once more, I will be able to break through to the Divine Martial Realm. At that time, I will express my gratitude to you properly."

As she spoke, the woman retrieved a gleaming knife and mercilessly plunged it into Su Yang's body. Under the skin, one could barely see any flesh and blood.

Drops of the golden-hued fresh blood began to bleed at an extremely slow speed...

The woman took out a jade bottle and hastily moved it towards Su Yang's wound. The golden blood started to drip into the jade bottle, and the woman instantly became excited.

Just one more step, just one more bottle. As long as she absorbed the Supreme Blood one more time, she would become the most dazzling young talent in the history of Yebei City!!!

Su Yang could no longer feel pain; he had used to it from a long time ago, and his entire body was devoid of any strength.

His dantian had long dried up. There was not a trace of spiritual energy. And within his vain and meridians, only a tiny bit of blood was still flowing.

It was hard to imagine that, with such a frail body, Su Yang could still muster the strength to speak.

Observing Wang Yiyi's greedy expression, Su Yang couldn't help but let out a laugh, "He...hehe, hahaha!!!" Though the laughter was not loud, it clearly reached Wang Yiyi's ears.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yiyi frowned, unable to comprehend why Su Yang would laugh so heartily facing his imminent death.

Was he already out of his mind?

"Wang Yiyi, you are ruthless. I never thought that I, Su Yang, the young talent of the Su family, would be deceived by your sweet words. Not only did you deceive me, but you also stole my Supreme Blood, treating me like a living blood bag.

"You!! How ruthless you are."

Su Yang lifts his gaze, the pupils that were once hollow and lifeless now radiating an unprecedented murderous intent, glaring fiercely at Wang Yiyi.

Wang Yiyi, who was cautiously extracting the blood, was momentarily shaken by that gaze. Her hand trembled, and a drop of Supreme Blood fell to the ground.

Wang Yiyi never expected that Su Yang could still fix her with such a terrifying gaze. A sense of fear inevitably rose in her heart. However, this feeling quickly dissipated.

It was ridiculous. He was already a waste, and shortly after he would met his death. Why should she fear a dead man?

Yet, wasting a drop of Supreme Blood infuriated her. Her already cold face now exuded a chilling aura, "Su Yang, don't give me that look. The path of cultivation is inherently cruel; it's your own fault that you would actually believe me in the first place."

"Yes, it was indeed my own fault.

It's my fault that I was blind back then and didn't discover the conspiracy of your Wang family sooner. And it's also my fault that I actually believed your words and got ensnared by you so easily.

Wang Yiyi, remember this. If I, Su Yang, do not die today, you better keep your eyes open in your sleep. Otherwise, I will make sure the Wang family lives in constant fear, and all shall meet their demise!"

Looking at the malicious woman before him, Su Yang gritted his teeth with each word. The anger in his eyes was enough to ignite flames and reduced her to ashes.

"Enough with the nonsense; save your energy. Rest assured, I won't let you die easily. Even after draining your blood, I will make sure you end your life in the most agonizing way." Wang Yiyi's tone remains icy, while Su Yang remains silent.

His head lowered, and the furious glint in his eyes had already dissipated. Once again, they becoming hollow and lifeless...

"Hmm? There's not a single drop of Supreme Blood left?" Wang Yiyi frowned at the wound on Su Yang, which stopped bleeding.

She shook the jade bottle in her hand, and her frown deepening.

Glancing at the lifeless Su Yang, she once again picked up the small knife and stabbed at that body several times.

Su Yang remained motionless, as if he had already died.

No Supreme Blood flowed from the injured area.

Seeing this, Wang Yiyi coldly remarked, "This is despicable. There's only half a bottle left. You useless waste, even wasted a drop just now!"

Uncertain if Su Yang heard her, Wang Yiyi lifts his skull-like face. She still wanted to say more, but Su Yang's tightly closed eyes prevent her from speaking further.

At this moment, another figure entered through the stone door.

"Yiyi, how's everything going?" The newcomer's voice is robust, and looking to be around forty to fifty years old. He had a square face, a hooked nose, and a pair of eyes that flicker with a barely perceptible cunning.

"Father, it didn't went much smoothly. There's no more Supreme Blood in Su Yang's body. This time, I only managed to get half a bottle," Wang Yiyi said, and bowed slightly upon seeing the newcomer.

"Oh? Only half a bottle. What a pity." The newcomer couldn't help but furrowed in disappointment.

This person was none other than the head of the Wang family, Wang Lang. He was one of the top three experts in Yebei City, possessing the cultivation level of the Divine Martial Realm.

"But it doesn't matter. Now that your Fire Phoenix Bloodline and the Supreme Bloodline have almost merged, even with only half a bottle, it should be enough for you to break through to the Divine Martial Realm. Let's go; it's time to end all of this," Wang Lang comforted his daughter with a calm tone.

However, a glint of future grandeur flickered in his eyes.

As long as his daughter could successfully integrate the Supreme Fire Phoenix Bloodline and reached the Divine Martial Realm, the Wang family would undoubtedly secure their position in the Eastern Profound Continent!

"Alright, there shouldn't be a big problem."

"What about Su Yang..." Wang Yiyi seemed to want to seek her father's opinion.

"Su Yang's family assumed he was dead long ago. Besides, he's now just a useless person. It wouldn't be good to let him die in our Wang family. After all, I used to be his father's friend. You two also were engaged. If not for his sacrifice, how could you have achieved your current status? I'll have someone throw him into the Beast Mountain Range later." Wang Lang gave a final glance at the iron-bounded Su Yang with a smirk on his face.

"Everything is up to father's decision. However, I have one request."

"Oh? What request do you have?"

Wang Yiyi turned to Su Yang, who was half kneeling on the ground. Recalling the terrifying look he gave her earlier, she softly said, "I wish to sever his tendons and limbs."
