The phenomenon of a sea of blood that suddenly appeared enveloped the sky above Mount Heavenly Dragon and even the entire enormous city once more. Moreover, it was even more ferocious this time, and it blotted out the sun, leaving behind less than 20% of the sky that wasn't drowned by the sea of blood. And no matter how one looked at it, the last bit of space seemed to be swallowed by the Blood Sea at any time.
This was the human world, the place where the human race had lived and multiplied for countless years. From ancient times to the present, people had long been familiar with the days of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. They were also familiar with the world where the earth was beneath their feet and the sky above their heads.
The sky could be sunny or hazy, windy or rainy, exposed to snow and ice, spring, summer, autumn, or winter. People had seen everything and were already used to it. However, no one had experienced and seen the Blood Sea hanging upside down in the sky. It looked like it would collapse and destroy the entire world at any time.
No matter how one looked at it, it seemed to be the doomsday aura that only the devil hell had.
Therefore, although nothing had happened for the time being, there were many people who were very disgusted by this Blood Sea phenomenon. The well-informed Fuyunji sent a report the next day. It clearly pointed out that after the appearance of the Blood Sea phenomenon, the number of people leaving the Immortal City suddenly doubled.
Of course, most of those who didn't want to stay in this strange place because of disgust, fear, or simply because they didn't want to stay in this strange place were rogue cultivators and mortals outside the True Immortal Alliance. In Zhenxianmeng, which occupied this prosperous city and had unparalleled strength, there was no such phenomenon of people fleeing.
Most people stayed here. The rules in the huge Immortal Alliance were strict. It was a serious crime to leave rashly. At this special time, it was more likely that they would be charged with the crime of shaking people's hearts. If that happened, they would suffer in the future.
Of course, there were people who left the Immortal City in the Immortal Alliance. In fact, there were quite a number of them. However, everyone said that those who left had all kinds of special tasks. They were leaving the Immortal City to do something outside the city and not fleeing.
Although there were many women and children among the people who left, there were also some familiar people. Anyway, those who were really powerful and had a way to leave, or at least let their families leave first, even if there were strict rules in the Immortal Alliance.
This had been the case since ancient times.
Lu Chen and Old Ma stood in a secluded place at the top of Mount Celestial Dragon. They looked up at the surging sea of blood in the sky. As the strong wind blew in the sky, the blood-colored clouds rose and fell, looking like the rolling waves of the sea. It was a very spectacular scene, but it carried a dark red aura, which made people's hair stand on end. They were afraid that the endless sea of blood would fall on their heads in the next moment.
Old Ma gasped as he looked at the scene and said, "What the hell is this? It's actually so terrifying. I'm afraid that even the evil Devil Cult didn't create such a disgusting thing!"
Lu Chen didn't agree with him. Instead, he thought about it carefully for a while and shook his head at Old Ma. "That's not it."
Old Ma was startled and said, "Why? Have you seen something more powerful and more terrible than this before?"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, in the battle of the barren valley, the Devil Cult Yun … Shou Yang and the other masters, including the Southern Barbarian Fire Shaman, opened a kind of 'God Subduing Spell' in the barren valley. At that time, the weather changed greatly, the sky broke, and there seemed to be evil gods descending in the violent wind and thunder. The scene at that time was much more terrible than it is now. "
Old Ma was a little surprised. He looked at Lu Chen with a somewhat complicated expression and said, "At that time, I was on the periphery and didn't enter the barren valley, so this is the first time I've heard of this. Well, for so many years, why haven't I heard you mention it … "
Lu Chen looked at him and smiled. "Even the dead baldy knows about this. Have you heard him mention it to others?"
Old Ma immediately pursed his lips and shook his head without saying anything more. However, there was still an unconcealable doubt in his eyes. Obviously, he was puzzled by Lu Chen's sudden mention of this matter today.
However, Lu Chen didn't seem to have any intention of clearing up his doubts. He glanced at the sky and said, "If I'm not wrong, this is probably just the beginning. More and more terrible things are yet to come."
Old Ma rolled his eyes and said snappily, "You make it sound so easy." After a pause, he said gloomily, "I should have hidden in the Western Continent and lived a carefree life. In the end, that errand was taken by Chen He. Now, I can't go, and he can't go either. Now, he's staying at home all day, looking like he's out of his wits. He looks quite pitiful. "
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and frowned slightly. It was unknown if he was thinking of the scene he saw at the door of the bedroom that night. Even with his heart of stone, a look of displeasure appeared on his face. After shaking his head slightly, he sighed and said, "Regardless of what kind of person Chen He is, his wife and child died unjustly … This matter is quite strange and treacherous. We have to investigate it carefully."
Old Ma glanced at him and said, "So, that's why you made that promise to Chen He that day?"
Lu Chen said lightly, "He should have trusted the dead baldy more than me." After saying that, Lu Chen didn't seem to want to continue this topic. He changed the topic and said, "By the way, has White Lotus been looking for you recently? I feel like I haven't seen her for a while."
Old Ma said, "No, I haven't seen her recently either. When I just came back a few days ago, I saw that she was in a bad mood. She was a little depressed. Since then, she has been locking herself in Su Qingjun's house and rarely comes out. "
Lu Chen was slightly surprised and said, "This is rare. If it was in the past, she would have appeared long ago when such a big thing happened. Anyway, she has some friendship with us. Let's go and see her. "
Old Ma nodded and said, "Okay, she should still be living in Su Qingjun's house. Let's go and see."
After saying that, the two walked side by side in the direction of the house where Su Qingjun lived. Behind them, the blood clouds in the sky were rolling and the blood sea was surging. It seemed to be brewing to set off an even bigger wave.
…
The blood sea phenomenon in the sky of the Immortal City was overwhelming, but there didn't seem to be much change in the Blood Moon City below the Immortal City. Even though the two looked very similar and were vaguely connected in countless ways, the Blood Moon City didn't seem to have changed much.
What had changed in some details was that the mysterious aura that suppressed the cultivation of human cultivators in the Blood Moon City had become stronger recently. Ordinary cultivators who came here felt like they had entered hell. Their spiritual power was rolling in the opposite direction and it was very uncomfortable.
So now, except for some necessary personnel, almost no one came to the Blood Moon City. Most of the time, it was empty, like an uninhabited ghost town.
But in fact, there was still life here.
There were no plants, no animals, but there were two people.
Under the dry well in the backyard of the mansion, White Lotus, who was tied up with a rope and unable to move, was pale and curled up into a ball. There was a trace of pain on her face. It seemed that she was suffering the suppression of the omnipresent power here. But other than that, for some reason, there seemed to be a trace of secret pleasure in the depths of her eyes.
Because not far from her, on the other side of the dry well, there was a figure who was suffering ten times or a hundred times more. His body was lying on the ground, his hands tearing at his skin and flesh. The ground was dripping with blood.
