“Who exactly was communicating with me through their Divine Sense?!”
Lin Yazhu was somewhat uncertain.
She would not usually trust such a person who hides themselves, but for some reason, she felt a sincere sense of trust after hearing this voice.
It seemed like the person behind the Divine Consciousness Transmission was trustworthy, someone who would never harm her.
Although they had never met, she had a natural impression of trust. This feeling was very baffling.
“Could it be that there’s something really wrong with Old Ancestor Bloodshadow’s cave?”
A hint of brightness flashed in Lin Yazhu’s beautiful eyes.
Frankly, she had her suspicions about this Nascent Soul’s cave originally because her top-grade magical item, Gold Thunder Bamboo, sometimes warned her of some impending danger, suggesting there might be something extremely evil hidden inside.
She initially thought it was something Old Ancestor Bloodshadow left behind, which was why the Gold Thunder Bamboo was on guard.
After all, Bloodshadow being a demon cultivator and a notorious killer three thousand years ago, it was only natural that he hid sinister things.
“Never mind, it’s better to believe it than risk disbelief.”
“I should be more careful.”
Lin Yazhu quickly made a decision.
As the Sect Master of the Qingmu Sect, she bore the future of the entire Sect and naturally had to be cautious. Carelessness could lead to the extinction of the whole sect, so she had to tread carefully.
“Who’s there?!”
Almost at the same time, Shen Biqian heard Zhou Sui’s mental transmission too. Like Lin Yazhu, she used her Golden Core Divine Sense and tried to identify the person communicating with her telepathically.
But the result was the same — she found no suspicious person.
“Strange, why does this voice sound so familiar, as if we have met before?”
Shen Biqian blinked, her instincts telling her that the man communicating telepathically must be someone she knew; otherwise, she wouldn’t experience such a sense of trust.
Almost instantly, the voice of a man emerged in the depths of her sea of consciousness. The man appeared imposing and handsome, seeming to descend from the heavens and was irresistibly charming.
“It can’t be him. He is merely a cultivator in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment.”
Shen Biqian shook her head, immediately dismissing her absurd thoughts.
It seems she had been alone for much too long and was crazily longing for a man.
“But this person doesn’t seem to bear any ill intentions. He seems to merely be warning me.”
“It seems this Nascent Soul’s cave is indeed unusual, I need to be more careful.”
Shen Biqian touched her smooth chin.
Although she was impulsive in her actions without thinking through the consequences, she wasn’t a fool.
She wouldn’t knowingly rush into danger and seek a path to her own death.
So, she ordered some disciples from the Danding Faction to retreat first.
A few days later.
Under the joint assault of numerous Golden Core cultivators and Foundation-building cultivators, Old Ancestor Bloodshadow’s cave was on the verge of collapsing.
The Fourth-Order array that had been covering the whole cave also collapsed with a bang.
Seeing this, all the cultivators were overjoyed.
After attacking for eight years, they had finally destroyed this Fourth-Order formation.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
Without wasting any words, these Golden Core Masters and the Foundation-building cultivators from the various major forces in the Immortal Mist Island immediately flew into the cave.
They were all afraid of being outpaced by others, losing the abundant treasures in the cave.
Whoosh—
At this moment, a bloody mist was released deep inside the cave. In a blink of an eye, it enveloped an area within a three-mile radius.
This blood-red haze contained a terrifying corrosiveness and was imbued with a chilling property.
When stones on the ground came into contact with it, they instantly corroded as if doused in sulfuric acid.
What was more was that the fog had an incredibly potent poison. Ordinary cultivators who got a whiff of it would become paralyzed by the toxin, and they would collapse to the ground, unable to move, silently awaiting death.
“Damn it, we’ve been had; this is a trap! This isn’t the hermitage of the Blood Shadow ancestor at all—it’s a relic where some demon had been imprisoned. Everyone hightails out of here!”
A Golden Core Master barked loudly, quaking with fear and rage.
Having delved deeper into the hermitage, he realized he had been duped. A blood-red towering tree stood inside, its menacing and preternatural aura enveloping it from top to bottom, sending chills down the spine.
“This is the Qiankun Demon Suppression Array, a seventh-order formation specifically employed to confine and seal demons. We’ve walked right into a trap.”
“How can this be happening? Why is a peerless demon sealed here?!”
Several Golden Core Masters began to sweat profusely, sensing the enormity of the crisis at hand.
They were desperate to escape this place and get as far away from this peerless demon as possible.
“Hehe… I’ve finally waited for you to arrive.”
“Thanks for helping me break the array.”
“As a token of my gratitude, I’ll let you all become part of my body.”
Right at that moment, the terrifying Blood Demon Tree suddenly spoke.
Suddenly, branches burst forth from it, like god-slaying spears, aiming to pierce.
Boom, boom, boom!!!
One by one, the Golden Core Masters and Foundation-building Cultivators were unable to resist—they were all skewered by these tree branches, their bodies showcasing gory gaping holes, blood dripping profusely.
In just a blink of the eye, the blood inside these cultivators had been sucked dry, their mortal shells reduced to a pile of mummies.
Rumble—
However, the remaining cultivators refused to just sit around and await their fate. Each of them unleashed their most potent strategies and launched an assault on the gruesome Blood Demon Tree, resulting in the release of terrifying destructive power.
Of course, all of this escaped the notice of the outside world, including Zhou Sui.
He was hiding deep within the region—about ten miles from the Nascent Soul hermitage—employing the power of his Heart Eyes to observe every single movement around him.
In order to evade being detected by the demon concealed inside, he dared not use his Heart’s Eye Power to peek.
Boom
Sure enough, soon after, multiple figures rather unceremoniously came running out of the hermitage.
Among them were Lin Yazhu and Shen Biqian.
Having received warning from Zhou Sui, they were more cautious and weren’t in a hurry to proceed into the hermitage.
This turned out to be a wise choice as when the Blood Demon Tree erupted, they immediately escaped using their maximum potential.
However, the other Golden Core Masters weren’t as lucky.
Especially the more greedy ones among them. In an instant, they were all killed and became fodder for the Blood Demon Tree.
Whizz, whizz, whizz!!!
They all exchanged a glance and without wasting a moment, they swiftly flew towards the distant horizon.
After all, this wasn’t a safe place.
No one could predict how much power the demon contained inside could unleash.
The sound of rushing water —
In a matter of few breaths, a ten-mile radius was covered by the blood-red fog, and a towering tree emerged, emanating a malevolent air.
It seemed as though it was going to make a bid for escape.
However, right at that moment, chains of gold burst forth from the depths of the earth and in an instant, the tree was yanked back down, plunging deep into the ground.
Boom, boom, boom!!!
In the sky above, countless black clouds converged, and a terrifying bolt of purple lightning struck the blood-red tree unmercifully.
“Aaaahhhhh!!!”
Instantly, the blood-red tree let out a piercing scream. It seemed unwilling to accept its fate but still retreated back into the depths of the hermitage..
