Deep in the Blood Hall, on the broad road shrouded in weak candlelight, figures were rushing forward one after another, fearing that the power of pus and blood would suddenly burst out at some point and turn into wax mud and melt like the people in front of them.
A group of people were running for their lives, and suddenly they heard Zhu Chaoqun's surprised voice: "No, these candlelights are weakening."
Shi Chishang was running at the front. When he heard her question, he subconsciously turned his eyes to the railings on both sides, and then his face froze.
Under normal circumstances, there will definitely be some consumption when the candle burns.
When they entered, these candles that looked like blood candles were already burning in the temple. Now nearly an hour has passed, and more or less half of it has been burned.
Moreover, Shi Chishang was keenly aware that the deeper one went, the longer the candle would be. In other words, if the burning speed was the same, the candle in the area just behind them would burn out earlier.
Before he could finish this thought, Shi Chishang suddenly sensed several extremely powerful forces. He looked back in shock. Sure enough, at the end of his field of vision behind him, the originally dense candlelight was quickly extinguishing, which also caused the layer of invisible force that had originally isolated the darkness to The scene disappeared quietly.
In an instant, vast darkness surged out from the depths on both sides, flooding the wide walkway. Several huge waves of ominous power had already crossed the blood-patterned columns on both sides and invaded the walkway.
After losing the barrier of the blood-stained cylinder, the many underworld kings present finally sensed those ominous powers. Especially when they sensed the tyranny and cruelty of those ominous powers, their expressions couldn't help but change violently. Without the slightest delay, everyone fled to the end of the road like a desperate maniac.
Shi Chishang relied on his ability to wander as he pleased, so he simply retreated to the end of the team, observing the dark dynamics behind him while following the people in front.
As if a certain mechanism had been triggered, as everyone fled frantically, the candles behind them continued to extinguish at a faster speed. As the candlelight dissipated, more and more darkness poured onto the road, and more ominous force emerged from the darkness. Swimming from the depths, following everyone like a bloodthirsty shark.
"What's in there?"
The talisman between Shi Chishang's eyebrows that represented the mirror soul seal shone brightly, and as his soul power burned fiercely, his insight, truth, and falsehood were stimulated to their peak.
At this moment, in his field of vision, the endless darkness gradually became false and transparent, and his soul consciousness condensed into reality, constantly penetrating into the darkness, trying to understand the true form of the fierce power hidden in the depths of the darkness. .
Boom! Suddenly, Shi Chishang stumbled to the ground as if someone had hit him on the head with a stick.
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly. As soon as he fell to the ground, he kicked off his feet and caught up with the team extremely quickly, avoiding the surging darkness that had spread.
Rubbing his sore forehead, Shi Chishang's face turned ugly. Even if he activated the Three Gates Avenue to the extreme, he could not spy on the true form of Jiwei, and even suffered a violent backlash. If it weren't for his soul and true body, His spirit was strong enough, and the backlash just now was enough to tear him to pieces on the spot and leave him stunned.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Chishang shrank his damaged soul body into a ball, opened his mouth and spat it out as if he was coughing up blood. Then he shrank and stretched his body, crossing over a dozen casual cultivators in front of him, and returned to the Yin Yang Sect. Several people in the queue.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, Shi Chishang sighed: "We can't see clearly what's going on inside, but it is definitely a ferocious beast that is invincible to us. Run away!"
"Do you even need to say that?" Youquan ran very fast on his short legs and shouted angrily, "Hun Yan, are you gloating about your misfortune?"
"How can there be..." Shi Chishang said with a bitter smile.
On the road, more than twenty figures were running forward like fleeting figures, and darkness swept in from behind like a tide, chasing closely behind them.
There is clearly something inside this Blood Lord Palace, and it is obviously only about three hundred acres in size from the outside. But now everyone has been fleeing for three hours, but they still can't see the end.
During this period, four Hades have already turned into wax mud and melted out of thin air.
Even if Shi Chishang enveloped everyone with his soul consciousness at all times, he still couldn't clearly see the process of this change.
Obviously one moment they were running normally, and the next moment they melted and became limp like wax clay. There was no transformation process at all.
However, after several people died in a row, Shi Chishang roughly figured out the pattern. Let’s not say how the power of pus and blood was contaminated, but the targets of the attack were from weak to strong. So far, a total of eight people have melted like wax mud. , all of them are in the middle and late stages of Mingjun. I think they will all be safe before the remaining late stage Mingjuns die.
"Look! Ahead!"
Qian Yixiao was running fast in the shadows. Leng Buding saw a faint light in front of him. The light was not as weak as a candle. Judging from its outline, it looked like a door.
When everyone heard this, they quickly looked forward, and then they were all ecstatic. They all accelerated their speed and rushed towards the light as if they were desperate.
As if it sensed that everyone was about to escape, the speed at which the candlelight behind them was extinguished suddenly increased, causing the darkness to spread at a greatly increased speed, surging towards everyone, and the number of fierce men who had increased to nearly seventy was rushing towards them crazily. The edge of darkness caused the spread to spread even faster.
As they fled desperately, everyone finally approached the end of the road and saw clearly the bright true body. It was a hexagonal platform with a height of one hundred feet. There was a piece of black jade painted directly above it. The throne with strange blood-colored patterns, the light that everyone saw before was the two light balls suspended on the armrests on both sides of the throne.
"No!"
Before there was time to carefully observe the details of the high platform, several wailing sounds suddenly sounded from behind the crowd. It was astonishing that several underworld kings who were lagging behind were finally overtaken by the dark wave and completely submerged in it.
In such a close situation, even if the darkness can obscure their perception, everyone can clearly feel the ferocity and joy of the countless ferocious true forms behind the darkness. It is the joy of finally finding blood after being trapped for thousands of years.
"Quick! Quick!" Cui Shuangyin's face was twisted and ferocious. The terrifying darkness and despair almost swallowed up his sanity. He directly drew his sword and cut away the two Mingjun monks blocking the way in front of him, almost touching the bodies of the Yin family father and son. One after another they rushed up to the high platform.
Bang! The violent darkness rushed over, and after submerging several Hades Lords who were left behind, they charged against the high platform several times before slowly falling into silence in an unwilling mood.
However, everyone knows very well that even though the darkness seems to have fallen into silence at the moment, those terrifying creatures are still lurking in the darkness, surrounding the high platform. As long as they dare to leave the high platform and enter the darkness, they will immediately become the blood of these terrifying beings. .
After staring into the darkness for a long time, Shi Chishang slowly withdrew his gaze and looked to the left and right.
When they first entered the Lixue Hall, there were thirty-eight people, but now there were only twenty-three left.
At first glance, it seems that only fifteen people died, but they only walked one path!
I don’t know how many people will be left here when the inheritance finally appears.
While Shi Chishang was feeling emotional, the atmosphere on the high platform was also quite solemn.
Zhu Chaoqun and others naturally gathered around him. The Yin family father and son stayed silently in the corner. Xueyi led the two surviving Xueguandao descendants, a man and a woman, and looked at the throne on the high platform with complicated expressions.
On the other side of the casual cultivators, the situation was tense. Zhizhi led the six Ming Lord casual cultivators and clearly distanced themselves from the three wind-plundering bandits headed by Cui Shuangyin. They looked quite indifferent to each other.
"Look, there's internal strife." Qian Yixiao gloated and whispered, while Youquan took out a bag of melon seeds from his pocket and proudly gave a large handful to Qian Yixiao, acting as a melon-eating crowd.
Shi Chishang took a look and knew that Cui Shuangyin's action of killing his teammates in order to escape had aroused the dissatisfaction of Zhizhi and others. However, he was not interested in paying attention to this group of people, but turned to stare at the statue at the top of the high platform. Throne, after a moment he chuckled and said: "Fellow Blood Daoist, can you explain to us the situation here?"
Xueyi was talking softly with two junior brothers and sisters. Leng Buding heard Shi Chishang ask and looked over with a surprised expression: "Senior Brother Hunyan, are you calling me?"
"Otherwise!" Shi Chishang spread his hands and said with a smile, "You are the only blood cultivators here, so you must know something about Lixue Hall, right?"
Xueyi was silent for a moment, then laughed dryly and said, "Senior brother, I was joking..."
"I'm not kidding!" Shi Chishang said calmly.
"Senior brother, why do you need to force others to do something difficult?" Xueyi couldn't help but look cold when he saw his tough attitude, "This place is the City of Divine Blood after all. Taking advantage of this geographical advantage, my bloodline cultivator's strength is far beyond what we can compare to at ordinary times. I'll be polite and call you senior brother. If you are not a guest..."
Clang! A fierce light flashed in Shi Chi Shang's eyes, the mighty sword power surged up, and he pointed the sword in the distance. The bloody clothes were holding his neck with an arrogant expression. Everything in front of him suddenly changed. Everything he could see was chaotic and twisted. Xu Wuchang, even his own blood energy and the great avenue he cultivated, were all dissipated under the cover of this sword power, like a child and a weak chicken.
Uh-huh! Shi Chishang wiped the blood-stained cheek with his sword finger and disappeared into the darkness outside the high platform behind him.
"What if you're not welcome?" Shi Chishang stared at him and smiled.
Faced with Shi Chishang's inquiry, Xueyi was stunned for a long time. Suddenly his body trembled and he said with a smile: "Senior brother is joking, how dare I disrespect my senior brother? I know a little bit about Lixue Hall, so this has nothing to do with me." Please elaborate..."
"A face-changing wizard!" Hu Zhebin shook his head.
Xueyi's face turned red, and he ignored the disdainful glances of others, and told all the information he knew with a smile on his face.
It turns out that although Li Xue Tang is just an inconspicuous small sect in the periphery, in ancient times, when it was still called Li Xue Sect, it was one of the top ten first-class sects in the Blood Red Empire. With its way of Li Xue, it dominates the world. , and even expected to reach the top of the top ten first-class sects several times.
However, the Li Xue Cult's practice philosophy was too cruel and cruel. Even in the ghost world, which has always been dominated by cruelty, this cruelty was too outrageous, and eventually provoked all forces to jointly target it.
First, he lured the two underworld emperors of the Li Xue Sect into a trap, and they were besieged and fell, completely shattering the backbone of the Li Xue Sect.
Then there were joint attacks through various channels, resulting in the Lixue Sect's situation declining continuously, its resources gradually drying up, and a large number of disciples being killed or injured or running away. However, in more than three hundred years, the Lixue Sect, which used to be the first-class sect in the three realms, has been eliminated. The Lixue Hall declined and became the lowest level, living on the outskirts of the Divine Blood City, lingering on.
"That's not right!" Cheng Baihe heard something strange and frowned, "If they were really so cruel, after the two Hades emperors were killed, shouldn't they have been exterminated without their backers? Could it be that the various forces at that time were soft-hearted? Already?"
"How is it possible?" Xueyi shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "How can we, the ghost world's ghosts, be so merciful? It's just that they have another backer, and they managed to survive by relying on the prestige of that backer."
Seeing Chi Shang look over, Xue Yi knew that he could not hide anything, so he explained: "The Blood Red Empire has three sacred beasts that protect the country, the wingless eagle, the night mist lion, and the magical insect. Among them, the night mist lion was once a close friend of the founder of the Li Xue Sect. , so when the two underworld emperors of the Lixue Sect fell, Yelong Lion stepped forward to protect the Lixue Sect."
