"Splash!"
Gu Zheng could vaguely hear the sound of the sea water. He did not know what was going on. It seemed to be right beside his ears, but it also seemed to be at the edge of the sky.
He could even feel that there were puddles of water under his body, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He wanted to get up and see where he was.
However, he was in a daze. Not to mention standing up, he could not even control his pinky. He could only let the water soak his clothes.
"Where is this? Pan Xuan should be safe. No matter what, at least she rushed out of the spatial storm. "
Gu Zheng thought of his last encounter and thought in a daze.
"Tap, tap, tap."
The crisp sound of footsteps came from beside his ears. Soon, he heard the noise of some people. However, he did not hear it clearly. He only understood a few key words that occasionally leaked out.
"Help!"
"Village!"
After feeling that the people around him were discussing for a while, Gu Zheng felt himself being lifted up. After an unknown amount of time, the clothes on his body were taken off. The soft feeling let him know that he was lying on a bed.
"These people are not bad. I must thank them."
Gu Zheng wanted to thank them very much. However, he was still powerless. His eyelids were like jacks, and he could not even lift them up.
Not long after, a bowl of warm water was poured into his mouth and rushed to his abdomen. A warm current also spread from his abdomen to the surroundings, making Gu Zheng feel very comfortable.
In the next moment, Gu Zheng finally could not bear the fatigue in his mind and fell asleep.
.....
Under the silver sky, the entire earth seemed to be covered in a layer of silver. The first time one saw it, they would feel a strange sense of beauty from the bottom of their hearts. However, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, there would be a moment when one would get tired of it.
In the middle of a city, a courtyard was already smoking. The surroundings were in a mess. Many people wanted to watch from afar and see what was going on, but they were blocked outside by pairs of guards. They could not get close at all.
Many things around the courtyard had been destroyed, but no one was worried. Some people came and went, extinguishing the flames that had not yet been extinguished, turning them into wisps of smoke.
Behind the courtyard, in a place that was not affected, a woman was holding a baby. She was coaxing the baby. After seeing that the baby had fallen asleep, she set up a soundproof barrier around the baby. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief. It was too noisy outside, and it would be easy to wake the baby up again.
"Miss Pan, thank you for helping me again. Otherwise, I do not dare to imagine the consequences. I did not expect the enemy to be so bold as to sneak into the mansion..."
The woman's eyes reddened as she spoke, and her voice became choked with sobs. She glanced at the baby in her arms, and her eyes were filled with boundless tenderness.
"Madam Xue, this is what I should do. After all, you let me live here and even found me some precious soul crystals. Otherwise, my injuries would not have healed so quickly." Pan Xuan smiled and said to Madam Xue.
Although the soul crystals were very precious, it was a pity that she could not use them. She had to use the ammunition she had brought to return to normal. However, she would not tell anyone about this. After all, in the eyes of the enemy, she was only a yao soul.
"No matter what, if not for you, the consequences … Our entire Cheng family owes you a big favor." Madam Xue wiped away her tears and said.
"Madam Xue, we have found traces of the enemy's death. All the evidence points to the fact that the enemy is a famous Dark Shadow Lone Ranger. At the same time, we have also captured the servant he bribed.
At this moment, a few people dressed as guards were holding down a middle-aged man with a frightened expression. One of the guards stepped forward and said.
"Madam Xue, Madam Xue, please spare me. I did not want this to happen either. The enemy planted a curse in my body. I did not notice before, so I was used. I did not know at all." After being escorted here, the middle-aged man immediately fell to his knees and pleaded to Madam Xue.
"You can be considered an old member of our family. We trusted you, so we let you take care of everything. You are quite capable, but you failed to live up to our trust." Madam Xue sighed as she looked at the old man in front of her, who was begging her bitterly.
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. I really did not do it on purpose. Seeing that I have worked hard for the Cheng family for tens of thousands of years, please forgive me." The middle-aged man's face showed a trace of ecstasy, but he quickly concealed it and begged again.
The guard next to him did not say anything. He only looked at him with a pitiful gaze, but he did not notice.
"Butler Xin, you keep saying that it was the other party who controlled you and that you couldn't help but let the other party in. Why are you saying that you're wrong?"
Madam Xue gave Pan Xuan an apologetic look, then looked sharply at Steward Xin. The latter stepped back slightly, not intending to get involved.
Madam Xue no longer had any cultivation base, and could only rely on a magical item to survive in the complicated Black Dungeon. However, when Steward Xin looked into her eyes, he couldn't help but shiver. He thought back to how heroic she had been a long time ago. It was almost as if he could see her again.
"Steward Xin, why are you so stunned? Did you let them control you because you wanted to help them?" Madam Xue's voice woke him up.
"In all honesty, I did not mean that at all. Madam Xue, please investigate." Steward Xin came back to his senses and cried.
"I also think you were forced to do this, but I'm sure they have other accomplices. Otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. That's why I'm here to ask if you know anything, or if there's anyone suspicious," Madam Xue said kindly to Butler Xin.
"I don't know, but I think there are a few people who are suspicious." Steward Xin said innocently and mentioned a few people.
At this moment, a guard behind her looked delighted and immediately walked up to Madam Xue and whispered something to her.
Madam Xue nodded and looked at Steward Xin. The light in her eyes made him feel uneasy. He didn't know what she was talking about.
"In that case, let me ask you, Shui Xing, Miao Yuqing, and that Kong Feng, what's going on with them?" Madam Xue's face suddenly changed and her eyes were cold.
"How did you know?"
Hearing the three familiar names, Steward Xin's body trembled and he couldn't help but ask.
As soon as he said that, he realized that he had said too much and tried to salvage the situation.
"Madam Xue, it's not that I don't want to say, but the enemy put a curse on me. I can't speak or I will die. I want to go back and give the list to you."
At this moment, Steward Xin was speaking without thinking. He just wanted to get through this and then think of a way to escape.
He knew how dangerous it was and was fully prepared. But before he could do anything, he was captured. Now, he just wanted to avoid this disaster. With Madam Xue's personality, she would find out sooner or later. But by then, he would be long gone.
Steward Xin kept thinking of a way to escape, but his face was still the same as before. He looked like he had been ordered by someone and had no choice.
But when Madam Xue mentioned the familiar names, he couldn't keep up the facade. He could only force himself to explain.
"No need to quibble. I know what you're thinking. Since you've been found, you're useless. Take him away and break him." Madam Xue's face flashed with disgust and she waved her hand.
"Madam, please spare me. I know many things. Give me a chance. Give me a chance." Steward Xin knew what she meant and hurriedly cried out.
It was a pity that his cultivation had been completely sealed. The guard next to him immediately restrained him and dragged him out of this place.
"I've made a fool of myself. It's unfortunate for my family." Madam Xue ignored the increasingly weak cries and apologized to Pan Xuan.
"It's okay. When we fought, I knew she wasn't your senior sister. She might come again." Pan Xuan looked at the baby in Madam Xue's arms and said.
During this time, Madam Xue had revealed many things to him.
Although this baby had paid a great price, it was still a demon soul. It didn't have a soul. Perhaps it was just a continuation of her bloodline.
"Even if she comes again, she won't appear now. The elders in seclusion have already come out. I've prepared everything you asked me to. It's in the warehouse in the south of the city. Aside from a few people, no one knows about it." Madam Xue brushed her hair behind her ear and said seriously.
"Thank you for your trouble. Since that's the case, I'll go now. If you need help, come find me."
Pan Xuan nodded. After leaving this sentence, she disappeared from the sky.
Madam Xue only shook her head. She was curious as to why she needed so many things, but she threw it to the back of her mind. There were so many things to do in the family right now.
There was an empty space in the south of the city. It was not much different from the surrounding area. It could be said that it was a completely barren land. There was nothing out of the ordinary around. Perhaps no one would pass through here for hundreds of years.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the sky. Seeing that there was nothing suspicious around, he descended.
The ground that was originally a wasteland suddenly turned into a small black hole when the other party landed, which happened to surround the figure. When the figure disappeared from the black hole, the wasteland returned to its original appearance. No one would have thought that there was actually another world beneath the wasteland.
Pan Xuan walked through the empty underground space. Aside from the fact that the entire space was large, there was only a layer of array formation covering the surroundings. Aside from that, there was also a small mountain-like object placed in the middle of the space.
Taking a closer look, she saw that they were all ordinary crystals. They were very difficult to find here. Fortunately, they were not useful here. Apart from being rare, they were not very expensive. That was why she had found enough materials.
Pan Xuan casually set up an Alert Formation on top of the mountain, then poured out the things in her hands. Soon, another small mountain appeared next to the small mountain.
When all the materials were gathered, she walked to the center and sat down cross-legged.
Red light shone from her body, illuminating the dark cave. At the same time, a blood-red flame burned in the air.
Under the illumination of the red light, the materials actually began to move. It was as if a pair of hands were carefully sorting them, and bit by bit, they sank into the blood flame. The entire blood flame became even more intense. Like a fire snake, the flame continued to soar into the sky, swaying in the air.
All of this was under Pan Xuan's control. Soon, streams of blood-red flowed out of the blood-red flame. They landed in a predetermined position behind a formation.
As the materials slowly disappeared, a huge blood-red pool appeared in the open space. It occupied almost all of the space behind it.
At this time, Pan Xuan stood up from the ground. Her face showed a trace of exhaustion. In order to refine the other party, she had spent a lot of effort. However, this was only the beginning.
She came to the side of the blood-red pool. Seeing that the blood-like liquid was less than a third full, she could not help but frown. But soon, she relaxed. She stretched out her white arm. A blood mark appeared on her wrist without any warning.
A large amount of blood flowed out like a spring.
Although the blood flowing out seemed to be little, when it fell into the blood pool, the blood water below rose up. Pan Xuan's face was pale. The blood pool was almost overflowing. Only then did the blood stop flowing out.
Pan Xuan stood in front of the blood pool. She began to chant. The surface of the blood pool flashed with countless blood-red runes. Even the blood-red water in the pool had some blood-red talismans. They stood in the middle of the blood pool.
"Gulp! Gulp!"
As the light became brighter, the entire blood pool was like boiling water. Bubbles constantly emerged from the bottom. The bubbles exploded on the surface and turned into wisps of blood mist above the blood pool. Soon, the entire blood pool was completely shrouded by a layer of blood mist. Only the flickering light of the talismans could be vaguely seen.
"Blood Sea Origin Seeker respectfully greets Old Ancestor!"
Pan Xuan suddenly shouted. At the same time, countless blood mist burst out from her body. She rushed towards the blood pool in front of her. Because she had exhausted too much of her strength, she actually laid on the ground softly. However, her spirit was extremely good. She lay on the ground and looked at the blood pool.
After the blood mist rushed to the top of the blood pool, there was no movement. But after a few breaths, all the blood mist gathered towards the center. Even the blood water in the blood pool was evaporated. It reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye. It turned into blood mist and rushed up.
A blood-red figure slowly appeared in the air. As the blood mist covered, the figure gradually solidified.
When more than half of the blood water in the blood pool was consumed, it finally stopped evaporating. The figure in the air slowly raised his head and looked at Pan Xuan in front of him. He casually pointed his finger, and a blood light came out from his finger. It flashed in the air and disappeared into Pan Xuan's body.
"Greetings to Old Ancestor!"
It was as if Pan Xuan had eaten a great tonic pill. Her originally pale cheeks quickly became rosy, and her declining aura also rapidly rose. In less than a breath of time, she had completely recovered all the losses. She immediately stepped forward and saluted, respectfully saying.
Although it was only an illusion of the Old Ancestor, the worship in the bottom of her heart did not decrease.
"What is the matter with calling this lord here?"
The face of the blood shadow above could not be seen clearly. Even the body was somewhat illusory. However, when it stood there, it was like heaven and earth. It made people not dare to be angry or have the slightest intention of blasphemy.
"Old Ancestor, I have completed the matter you asked me to do. It is in this place of the Black Prison. I feel that our future location will be here. However, this place is a little strange, so I specially asked Old Ancestor to check it out." Pan Xuan maintained her bow and said without raising her head.
"Oh? Is that so? Let me check it out! "
The Old Ancestor's tone was clearly surprised. Then, he no longer spoke, as if he was investigating something.
"Haha, so that's how it is! So that's how it is! My Asura Clan has finally obtained an opportunity. Looks like it is here. "
After a long time, Pan Xuan did not say anything. Suddenly, a burst of laughter rang out in the air. It made her feel relieved. She opened her mouth and congratulated.
"Congratulations, Old Ancestor! Congratulations, Old Ancestor! "
Although this place was very strange, the blood stone on her body reacted. After confirming it, she summoned the Old Ancestor. After all, this was her mission.
Although she didn't know what this mission was for or what it meant, she soon understood.
"Get up. How did you find this place? Tell me," the Old Ancestor said to Pan Xuan.
Pan Xuan also honestly revealed everything, including her actions with Gu Zheng, some of her own guesses, and even everything that she had gathered here. She told him everything in full detail.
"I knew it. The origin of those Demonic Souls is a little mysterious. They have been trying to stop us from entering, but in the end, we still came in. Hmph, we want this place! This time, you have done a great service. "The Old Ancestor was clearly in a good mood.
"But why did we come here? Didn't we do well in the Blood Sea?" Pan Xuan was a little confused when she heard the Old Ancestor's words. However, she quickly reacted and continued with a little fear.
"Old Ancestor, I have offended you."
"It's fine. Do you know why I have been in seclusion? No matter how the outside world changes, we have gradually become less involved. We have gradually retracted our strength. Everything is our Asura Clan. Otherwise, I would have let those rascals know how powerful I am. Back in the day, I was also a powerful figure."
As the Old Ancestor spoke, he seemed to be lost in his memories. However, he quickly recovered.
"Ever since I created the Asura Clan, I thought that I would be able to seize the fate of that place. However, the foundation is still different. Moreover, the Blood Sea is not so perfect. They were born in the Blood Sea and disappeared without a soul after they died. This is against the will of the Heavenly Dao. The Asura Clan is my other path. Now, they can't achieve my Great Dao. This is the place where we live, in case those Untainted Land races come to kill us."
"And I feel that the opportunity for the Asura Clan is coming. Although I am not too sure, the only thing I am sure of is that we must all move here."
Pan Xuan was stunned. She did not expect the Old Ancestor to have such a big plan. He actually wanted to move the entire clan.
"Since it was that kid who brought you here, I am indebted to him. I will let bygones be bygones. However, as a clone formed by a drop of blood, your strength is indeed a little weak. I will increase your strength a little. Build a buoy for me here and wait for the arrival of the Asura Clan."
After the Old Ancestor finished speaking, he did not wait for Pan Xuan to respond. His entire body turned into a cloud of blood mist and surrounded her along with the remaining blood water in the Blood Sea.
At this time, Pan Xuan was completely dumbfounded. She was not happy that her identity had been exposed, nor was she excited that her strength had increased. It was also not because she had helped the Old Ancestor find this place.
It was because she felt that she and Gu Zheng would never be together.
