Seeing Sha Yue's expression, Xiang Long immediately understood.
"Looks like the water of the immortal pond … is lost …"
Sha Yue's face was abnormally pale, her arms were trembling and she didn't dare to make a sound.
The immortal pond was extremely important to the Immortal Court. The mission of the immortal pond was given to Xiang Long, and it was Xiang Long who obtained it through his own means. This was the best opportunity to nurture a confidant. As long as he was in charge of the immortal pond, he would definitely be able to recommend someone to enter the immortal pond. In order to gain a stable footing in the Immortal Court, Xiang Long had spent a lot of effort and connections to obtain this mission.
But he didn't expect such a change to happen to the immortal pond, and … so many people from the Immortal Court had died.
In fact, there was still room for redemption. After all, there were countless immortals who coveted the Celestial Pool, and all kinds of beings could exist. However … if the Celestial Pool's water disappeared just like that, not to mention the fact that he would not be able to explain it to his superiors, just the fact that he had planned for so long and put in so much effort only to end up with nothing in the end, how could he be willing to accept that?
"Who is it that wants to make things difficult for me, Xiang Long??"
Xiang Long took a deep breath and said faintly.
Although his expression didn't change much, Sha Yue felt that Xiang Long was incomparably furious.
"Sha Yue."
"Yes."
"Don't tell anyone about this for now. Understand? Keep it under wraps for now. Let me handle it. When the results are out, I will personally announce it to the Immortal Court. "
"Understood, Lord," Sha Yue hurriedly said.
"Mm."
Xiang Long nodded and didn't say anything else. He turned and left.
Sha Yue heaved a sigh of relief after he left.
For some reason, she felt inexplicably uneasy. Xiang Long was a rank three envoy after all. This matter still affected him greatly.
Sha Yue looked at Xiang Long's gradually disappearing figure, then turned and hurried back to her cultivation area.
… …
… …
The Immortal Court seemed calm, but in reality, a storm was brewing. Over at the Celestial Pond, it wasn't peaceful either.
Although the Immortal Court was mysterious and powerful, it wasn't an impenetrable wall. The news that the Immortal Court had locked onto the location of the immortal pond spread like wildfire in the following days. More and more Immortals set their sights on the Immortal Court. Whether it was in the open or in the dark, the Immortal Court had been thrown into chaos by various Immortals in just a few days.
However, the main focus of the Immortal Court was to solve the problem at the Immortal Pond. Although Xiang Long said that he would report this to his superiors and let them make a decision, he didn't leak this matter or tell any other Immortal Court members about it.
After making some preparations, he led all his elites and the experts assigned to him by the Immortal Court towards the location of the Immortal Pond.
If the celestial pool water was still there, then everything could still be salvaged. But now that the celestial pool water was gone, if he went up to report it, the consequences could be imagined. Thus, Xiang Long decided to settle this matter first before reporting it to his superiors. Since the matter was already done, what he could do was not to change it, but to try his best to salvage the losses.
However, Xiang Long didn't know what he was going to face.
At the Immortal Pond.
The tunnel, which should have been sparkling and resplendent, was now completely blood-red.
The air was filled with the thick stench of blood that could make even Immortals faint. The ground and walls were covered with minced meat, and the air was filled with wailing and crying souls. The scene was extremely tragic, like purgatory.
And in the center of this "purgatory", the place that should have made countless Immortals crazy, was now flooded with large amounts of blood.
The Limitless Sword Sheath fell to the side of the Immortal Pond. The person in the sword sheath looked at the figure standing beside the Immortal Pond through the sword sheath, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
The cocoon that Shangguan Mei Yang and Su Qing 'er had transformed into was still on the right side, and Su Qing' er, who was in the cocoon, was still in a deep sleep, not moving at all, her body curled up, her body releasing waves of light, it was this layer of light that maintained the cocoon's existence, but Shangguan Mei Yang, who was inside, did not faint, she had always been awake, she hugged Su Qing 'er tightly, her eyes wide open, looking at everything outside through the cracks of the cocoon.
"Is that person really Su Yun?"
She muttered, looking as if she had lost her soul. Her eyes were empty, and her small face was extremely pale.
She had naturally seen everything that Su Yun had done outside. She could not believe that these immortals, who were usually high and mighty, would actually be like ants, completely crushed and killed by others.
That cruelty.
That ruthlessness.
That coldness.
That cold-bloodedness …
It struck straight at her soul, straight at the depths of her heart. She knew that she would never forget this terrifying and soul-shaking scene for the rest of her life, and it was even difficult for her to walk out of this shadow. She was also an existence that had walked out of the Immortal Pond, but she realized that there was still a world of difference between her and Su Yun.
Furthermore, the current Su Yun seemed to have lost all humanity! Just like a true demon, all of these people from the Immortal Court were wiped out by him without exception!
Their blood was poured into the Immortal Pond, and the originally dried up Immortal Pond had now turned into a blood feud.
Shangguan Mei Yang opened her eyes wide, she looked at the person standing beside the Immortal Pond, only to see him glance at the blood pool, and actually … He directly walked down.
"Su Yun, what happened to Su Yun?"
She felt that the person she was looking at right now was not the Su Yun she knew in the past. Why did he change so much? Could it be that he was affected by the Immortal Pond?
Crash …
He had already submerged into the blood pool, and then the blood pool returned to its calm state. There was no longer any movement, just like stagnant water without any wind, without any ripples …
Shangguan Mei Yang stared blankly at all of this, her heart filled with panic and fear. She seemed to have thought of something, her gaze turned, and she immediately noticed the sword sheath beside the Immortal Pond.
"Ling Qing Yu must know about Su Yun's current state."
She gasped for breath a few times, calming her turbulent heart. A moment later, she carefully walked out of the cocoon.
Although the cocoon was extremely hard and outsiders could not enter, it was as if there was nothing inside. Shangguan Mei Yang endured the discomfort in her heart and carefully went over. When she got close to the sword sheath, she anxiously reached out and picked it up, then quickly ran towards the cocoon.
However, she was blocked outside by the cocoon.
Helpless, Shangguan Mei Yang could only lean on the cocoon and curl up her body. She wanted to leave, but she could not bear to abandon Su Qing'er and Su Yun.
What should I do?
Shangguan Mei Yang bit her lips, she was completely at a loss of what to do.
"You have yet to digest all of the power of the Immortal Pond. Right now, you only have cultivation, but your foundation is unstable. If you don't quickly go into closed door cultivation, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to enjoy half of the good fortune that the Immortal Pond has given you."
Just then, Ling Qing Yu's voice came out from the sword sheath that Shangguan Mei Yang was holding.
Hearing that voice, Shangguan Mei Yang's uneasy heart finally felt a little relieved.
"Sister Qingyu, you're finally out." Shangguan Mei Yang immediately asked: "What's going on now, Su Yun, he, what happened to him?"
"The power of the Immortal Pond is not a small matter, you should have a deep understanding of it, but the Immortal Pond does not raise everyone to the same realm, but it varies from person to person, your foundation is shallow, so the increase in your strength will not be too strong, but it should not be a problem for you to protect yourself, but Su Yun and Su Yun are different, Su Qing'er is the reincarnation of a supreme expert, the energy of the Immortal Pond is most likely the energy of her reincarnation, the substance that you see wrapping around Qing'er, is definitely formed from Qing'er's own Qi, in the face of danger, her body naturally reacted, protecting her and you, Qing'er might need a long time, but fortunately, she should be able to move, but Su Yun's situation is a little complicated."
"Could Su Yun also be the reincarnation of a supreme expert?"
"Of course not, how can there be so many supreme expert reincarnations?" Ling Qing Yu's voice came out from the sword sheath: "The reason why Su Yun is like this, I guess it has something to do with the blood in his body."
"Blood? What's so special about his blood? "
"I know a spell that is related to the limit of blood. When Su Yun was injured once, I healed him and discovered that the blood in his body was not something he was born with. That is to say, Su Yun had changed his blood once before, as for whose blood he changed, I do not know, this blood is very mysterious, it is not human blood, it is difficult to analyze."
Hearing that, Shangguan Mei Yang was stunned, she had never heard of such a thing.
"There's such a thing as blood exchange?"
"There are all sorts of strange things in this world, this kind of thing is not considered rare, but I don't know if it's intentional or not, but to Su Yun, this blood should have a different meaning. For example, right now, the reason why he is like this, is also because of that blood."
Ling Qing Yu flew out from the sword sheath and stood beside Shangguan Mei Yang. Looking at the inside of the immortal pool, she said indifferently: "Previously, when Su Yun was like a pool, the water of the immortal pool started to reject him, but Su Yun was stubborn and refused to come out of the immortal pool no matter what. In order to force him out, the water of the immortal pool almost bit his body to pieces, but when the water of the immortal pool just bit off his skin and blood flowed out, the situation became different. This blood, actually directly swallowed the water of the immortal pool!"
Ling Qing Yu had been watching from the side the entire time. She had naturally seen the entire process of the three of them enjoying the water of the immortal pool.
"Swallowed the water of the immortal pool?" Shangguan Mei Yang felt that her mind was unable to digest all this information.
"The reason why Su Yun is like this now, is probably because the blood in his body is transforming into the water of the immortal pool. Maybe, that's it." Ling Qing Yu said indifferently.
