"Ji ji ji …"
Suddenly, the frightening old man opened his palm. At that moment, an extremely disgusting worm was entrenched in his palm, wriggling slowly.
The worm was blood-red in color, as if it was made of condensed blood. It emitted a blood-red aura, and it was extremely disgusting, so disgusting that it would make one want to puke.
However, when it let out that 'ji ji ji' sound, it was no longer something that could be described as simple disgust. To be precise, it was terrifying.
It was definitely a terrifying fellow. At the very least, Xing Jue could sense how terrifying it was.
"No!"
Xue Mei's expression changed drastically when she saw the worm. She screamed hysterically and pounced at the old man as she spoke, as if she wanted to stop him.
"Ji ji ji …"
However, it was too late. The worm shot out like an arrow. Its speed was far above Xue Mei's, and it arrived before Xing Jue in the blink of an eye.
"Pfft …" A muffled sound was heard, and a stream of blood splattered from his chest. The worm had actually burrowed its way into Xing Jue's chest.
"Ughhh …"
At that moment, a heart-wrenching pain came from his body, making him wish he was dead. The worm was still burrowing deeper into Xing Jue's body.
"Damn it!"
At that moment, Xing Jue panicked. He could clearly feel that the worm was passing through his aura sea and burrowing into his soul origin.
No matter how he circulated the Soul Devouring Law, no matter how much he resisted, he could not stop the worm at all. In the end, he could only watch as it entered his soul origin.
"Ughhh …"
However, something even more terrifying soon happened. Xing Jue felt that the blood in his body was rapidly disappearing. He could not stop it from burrowing into his soul origin, and it was being absorbed by the terrifying worm.
"Haha, kid, enjoy it slowly. This is the Blood Mark Poisonous Worm, the most venomous creature in the world that cannot be killed.
"It will feed on your blood and use your body as a vessel. It will accompany you for the rest of your life until you die, when it will look for a new vessel."
While Xing Jue was suffering in agony, the terrifying man's words entered Xing Jue's ears. His words pushed Xing Jue to the bottom of the abyss.
Plop!
Finally, Xing Jue fell to the ground like the corpses of the disciples beside him. His appearance was no different from those who had died.
His skin was pale and his body was withered. It was as if all of his life had been sucked away, as if he was already dead.
"Brother Xing Jue!!"
Xue Mei panicked when she saw Xing Jue in this state. She flew to Xing Jue's side and picked up Xing Jue, who was as thin as firewood. She then burst into tears.
Her cries were so miserable that it was as if her closest kin had already died. It was a pitiful sight.
However, despite this, the terrifying old man still had a sinister and strange smile on his face. There was no trace of pity in his heart.
"Don't worry, my adorable disciple. He's not dead.
"However, I have to tell you this. If you dare betray me one day, I'll definitely make your life a living hell!"
The smile on the old man's face became even more sinister and strange when he saw how much Xue Mei cared about Xing Jue. It was as if he was happier the more she acted this way.
"Give that to me!"
After a long while, Xue Mei wiped the tears off her face. She stood up and pointed at the old man's wrist. There was a storage bracelet that had been enchanted with a restriction.
"No problem!" The man removed the bracelet and removed the restriction. The bracelet then slowly floated towards Xue Mei.
Xue Mei accepted the bracelet and used it to collect the high-grade venerable weapons of the two Dao Tribe elders on the ground.
She then placed the bracelet by her lips and whispered a few words before putting it on Xing Jue's wrist.
Xue Mei sat beside Xing Jue and stroked Xing Jue's face, which had changed beyond recognition. Her blood-red eyes became moist again.
"Alright, my adorable disciple. It's time to go. Don't be so reluctant. Only by following me can you truly embark on the path of a powerhouse!"
Xue Mei glanced at Xing Jue reluctantly before walking over to the old man's side with tears in her eyes.
Then, the winds and clouds in the sky changed. Two streaks of blood-red light shot into the sky, and the two of them left the world in an instant.
At this moment, the entire Fire World was silent. When such a vast world was devoid of any signs of life, the horrifying scene was unimaginable.
Rumble!
After an unknown period of time, the sky started to darken. Ferocious lightning danced in the sky, and heavy rain began to fall from the sky.
More and more clouds gathered, and the rain grew heavier until it covered the entire world and every corner of it.
It was as if the sky was crying, mourning for the countless lives that had died, sending them off in the form of crying.
The rainwater hit the corpses that did not react at all, making their faces even paler.
This lasted for a long time until the ancient Space Gate of the Fire World shone with dazzling light once again, breaking the silence.
…
The Sacred Alliance had originally headed to the Fire World and the Earth World to hunt for evil spirit bodies.
However, they never expected that the 10,000 disciples and elders of the Fire World would be massacred by the Blood Demon.
This matter had already spread like wildfire in the Sacred Alliance, and the people's hearts were in chaos.
That was because the Blood Demon was synonymous with terror. It could be said that many top factions in the Sacred Region didn't dare to provoke such an existence, including the Sacred Alliance.
The reason why they knew that the massacre wasn't the work of the evil spirit bodies, but the Blood Demon was because when the Alliance's army from the Earth World headed to the Fire World …
They discovered two huge words formed by the blood-red clouds in the sky: Blood Demon!
It was a tragic battle. The 10,000 disciples were all elites among the intermediate disciples, but they were all buried in the Fire World.
Although joining the Sacred Alliance meant that they had to give their lives to the Sacred Alliance, the Sacred Alliance still compensated them accordingly.
They paid a certain amount of medicinal pellets to the families or clans of the deceased disciples.
Although the Sacred Alliance's actions appeased some of the resentment, the reappearance of the terrifying Blood Demon became the hot topic of discussion in the Sacred Alliance.
Of course, other than the Blood Demon, there was another person who was pushed to the heart of the struggle. That was the only disciple who came back alive from the 10,000 disciples, Xing Jue.
In the Sacred Alliance's Punishment Department, there was a wooden bed made of immortal grass in the most majestic palace.
The wooden bed was very special as it constantly emitted strong medicinal power. It was a treasure for healing injuries.
A man was lying on the wooden bed. It was Xing Jue. After several days of recuperation, Xing Jue's withered body had finally recovered. At the very least, he looked like a human.
"Ugh ~ ~"
In a daze, Xing Jue opened his eyes and looked around the unfamiliar room. He didn't know what to do. His mind was blank and he couldn't remember what had happened.
"You're awake!"
Just at this moment, an old man's soft call caused Xing Jue's mind to clear up a little.
"Senior, you are?"
Xing Jue asked respectfully as he looked at the gray-robed old man who had an unfathomable strength and a kind smile on his face.
"I was the one who gave the Punishment Order to Elder Li to protect you." The gray-robed old man smiled faintly.
"So it's Lord Penal Officer. Disciple Xing Jue greets Lord Penal Officer!" Xing Jue came to a sudden realization. He quickly jumped off the bed and wanted to pay his respects.
"Sigh, you don't have to be so courteous. Your body has just recovered. You should rest well!" Lord Penal Officer stopped Xing Jue and helped him back to the bed.
Facing such a kind Lord Enforcer, Xing Jue didn't force him because he could feel that his body was indeed very weak.
"Xing Jue, did you see the Blood Demon?" Lord Penal Officer asked after he helped Xing Jue back to the immortal grass bed that was emitting medicinal power.
"Blood Demon?"
Xing Jue was stunned when he heard the term again. Then, there was an obvious change in his expression. This was because the name reminded him of everything that happened in the Fire World.
Lord Penal Officer didn't ask any questions. He just smiled and looked at Xing Jue, waiting for Xing Jue to sort out his emotions.
"So it was the Blood Demon? I did see a face that covered the sky. At that moment, none of us could move. We could only let the blood in our bodies be sucked dry by an unknown object before we lost consciousness. "
Although Xing Jue didn't know how Lord Penal Officer knew about the Blood Demon, he still lied because he wanted to absolve Xue Mei of any crime. He didn't want her to become the public enemy of the Sacred Region.
The Sacred Region was too big and there were too many unknown powerhouses. Both he and Xue Mei were too insignificant in front of true powerhouses.
"Sigh, I didn't expect the Blood Demon to attack the Sacred Region Union. However, it is a miracle that you survived. This is a blessing in disguise!" Lord Penal Officer suddenly sighed.
"Lord Penal Officer, who exactly is the Blood Demon?" Xing Jue couldn't wait to find out the identity of the person who had kidnapped Xue Mei.
"The Blood Demon can be said to be the oldest living being in the Sacred Region. He has lived for tens of thousands of years!"
"However, rather than calling him a living being, it would be better to call him an undead. He is like an undead wandering the Sacred Region, an existence that the entire Sacred Region can't tolerate."
"However, the Blood Demon is too powerful. There are no more than 10 people in the entire Sacred Region who can contend against him."
"Furthermore, he is alone and acts without scruples. Hence, he is a special existence that no power in the Sacred Region wants to offend."
"However, the Blood Demon has disappeared from the world for thousands of years and has already faded from the sights of the various races. Who would have thought that he would reappear in the western part of the Sacred Region and carry out a senseless massacre?"
Lord Penal Officer's words gave Xing Jue a vague understanding of the Blood Demon. However, this answer made Xing Jue even more fearful of the Blood Demon.
The oldest living being in the vast Sacred Region was an existence that the various races in the Sacred Region couldn't tolerate, yet they didn't dare offend. How terrifying was this person?
Xing Jue couldn't understand why they had provoked such an existence. How had Xue Mei fallen into the hands of such a person?
"Xing Jue, besides that face that covers the sky, did you see any other people or objects?" Lord Penal Officer suddenly asked solemnly.
