On Sky Dragon Mountain, swords were drawn and bows were drawn, undercurrents were surging, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
In contrast, the Immortal City at the foot of the mountain had become very deserted due to the large decrease in population. It didn't look so tense, but in the cold wind, inside and outside the empty streets, there was still a cold murderous aura drifting in the air.
Looking at such a situation, probably no one would have thought that just a year ago, this was the most prosperous and lively place in the world. It was the holy land that all the cultivators in the world yearned for, and it was also the center of power in the cultivation world of the Central Plains.
All of this was probably due to the mysterious and unfathomable blood sea phenomenon in the sky above them. Now, there was an even more bizarre blood moon.
The Blood Moon shone down, silently covering the entire huge Immortal City. In the dim red light, there seemed to be a thin mist floating on a certain deserted street.
After a while, a slender figure slowly walked out of the mist. It was a young girl with an otherworldly beauty. It was White Lotus.
Her complexion seemed to be a little better than before, and there was a trace of redness on her cheeks. Although her body was still a little thin, one could still see that she was a little more energetic and lively. It was probably because her body was still young after the serious injury, and was gradually recovering.
There was no one on the street, and it was deserted. In the distant corner of the street or in the dark corner of some alley, there would occasionally be a figure passing by, looking more like a beast than a human.
White Lotus's gaze kept looking forward. For some reason, although her expression had been very calm and unchanged, there was a kind of chaotic and interweaving emotion in her pupils. It was like a mess, but also like several different colors of light, constantly changing.
Just like this, she walked through half the street, and it was very calm. Nothing unusual happened.
Of course, if everything around her looked different from usual, it seemed that the abnormality would also become normal. Those eyes hidden in the dark, bright or dark, at this time, all noticed this single girl walking over. Her beauty, her frailty, and her loneliness all made White Lotus so eye-catching and dazzling on this deserted street.
Like a sheep entering a pack of wolves, like a chicken crossing a fox mountain.
There seemed to be some commotion in the silent atmosphere, echoing from the shadowy corners. Every time they faced such a desperate and dangerous situation, there would always be some dark side of human nature that would come out and be tested.
Most people couldn't stand the test.
White Lotus didn't seem to notice those prying eyes, or maybe she didn't care. She seemed to have a lot on her mind, her brows furrowed, as if there was a huge doubt pressing on her heart, forcing her to rack her brains to figure it out.
However, even then, she didn't have the slightest hesitation towards the direction she was heading. She seemed to have decided where she wanted to go a long time ago, and she'd never stopped to think about the direction she was heading towards. She'd always walked resolutely towards a certain place in this city.
Far away on the street, the majestic White Tiger statue was enveloped by the light of the blood moon. Its strange eyes seemed to be staring at this place.
…
When White Lotus walked halfway down the street, she passed by an inconspicuous alley. Because the alley was indeed a little narrow, the light on that side was a little dim. White Lotus didn't even look in that direction and strode past the alley.
But at this time, a tall and strong figure suddenly sprang out from that dark alley. It was a burly man, and just the thickness of his arms alone was comparable to White Lotus's waist.
With such a huge difference in physique, White Lotus also seemed to be surprised, but before she could react, the behemoth-like man picked up White Lotus. He let out a low "wu wu" sound and carried White Lotus on his shoulder. At the same time, his eyes were faintly red, and he fiercely looked around.
On the opposite side of the street, in the surroundings, and in the distance, there seemed to be a few figures moving at the same time. It seemed that the people on that side also couldn't bear it and were getting restless. But there was no doubt that the strength of this strong man hiding in the alley was extraordinary. He even intimidated those potential enemies. Under his fierce gaze, the surroundings still remained quiet, and those moving figures also stopped, then disappeared into the shadows.
The man let out a beast-like laughter, and his body retreated. In the blink of an eye, he brought the seemingly powerless White Lotus back into that dark alley.
On the long street, it was a desolate scene, only a gust of cold wind blew, sweeping a burst of chill.
Bone piercing cold!
…
The long street was quiet for a while.
Then suddenly, there was a strange sound, somewhat abruptly drifting on the street. That sound wasn't loud, nor was it high-pitched, nor was it clear and sharp. It sounded like a person crying in a low voice, slowly, slowly suppressing something. There was a vague kind of crazy pain, but it was suppressed by another kind of power.
The street became even colder.
All of a sudden, the shadows in the dark and in the light became motionless.
The wind gradually carried a new sound, as if someone was drinking water, but also like someone was talking to himself, telling an ancient story that no one was listening to, a faint cry. That sound made people's scalps tingle, and their hearts beat faster. Not long after, everyone's eyes fell on the entrance of the alley.
The sound came from inside.
"Pa da!"
There was a light sound, like the sound of footsteps on the ground, and then a figure could be seen swaying. A person walked out, slightly staggering. It was White Lotus. Her footsteps were a little unsteady at first, but she quickly found a way to maintain her body's balance, and steadily walked to the street.
Her complexion looked … a little better.
Her face was ruddy, and her clothes were intact. Other than her eyes that still looked a little lost, this girl seemed to be a little better than when she came. Her clothes were clean, as if there was not a speck of dust on them. Only after a careful look, would one find that on her pure white cheeks, there were a few faint red spots.
They looked like the traces of blood splashing.
This girl raised her head to look at the sky, and then continued to walk forward. Her direction was still very clear, she was walking towards the entrance of the tunnel.
After walking a few steps, White Lotus seemed to feel something. She stretched out a white palm, gently wiped it on her cheek, and then looked at it in front of her eyes. There were traces of blood on her palm.
White Lotus stared for a moment, opened her mouth, and stuck out her small tongue. She gently licked it, and then continued to walk forward without changing her expression.
Behind her, in that dark alley, there was a dark corner. After an unknown amount of time, from that dark corner, there was suddenly a dark red thick blood, slowly spreading out, submerging the stone tiles on the ground, like a devil's smile, slowly seeping into the long street.
The color of the blood moon in the sky seemed to become even more intense at this moment.
