"This punk has chosen a different path. He's even walking by himself. He's courting death. Let's wait and see him evaporate!"
Many of the Azure Wood Manor separatists saw Yi Yun walk into the Blood Desert. Yi Yun had been hiding behind them to watch them make a fool of themselves. They were already infuriated, and now, it was finally Yi Yun's turn to walk through this land of peril.
"The Blood Desert has a thousand steps, and a single wrong step is beyond redemption. With his bit of skill, he's just courting death," said the purple-robed elder.
The purple-robed elder said. It was inevitable to make mistakes when inferring the forces of the world. The purple-robed elder refused to believe that Yi Yun could see through the mysteries of the Blood Desert. To cross the Blood Desert alone, even having nine lives was insufficient.
"Yue Yingsha, follow me." Yi Yun said to Yue Yingsha after taking a few steps.
"I …" Yue Yingsha felt a little apologetic. How could she let Yi Yun scout ahead while she followed him safely from behind?
"It's fine. This Blood Desert may look boundless, but it's actually not that big. We will soon be out."
As Yi Yun spoke, he turned around and proceeded forward.
He would soon be out?
Wasn't it too easy for Yi Yun to describe it?
Yi Yun's walking speed was about the same as a mortal's walking speed. As for the other Azure Wood Manor disciples, they were afraid of entering a land of peril, so their walking speed was as slow as a tortoise's.
Under the watchful eyes of many, Yi Yun walked ten or twenty steps without encountering any danger. It was as though he was walking through an ordinary desert.
How … did he really find a path of survival?
The Azure Wood Manor separatists found it unbelievable.
"Maybe it's just luck."
A young man said indignantly. His eyes subconsciously glanced at the purple-robed elder.
However, he saw that the purple-robed elder's expression was extremely ugly. The purple-robed elder knew very well that what Yi Yun was doing was definitely not as simple as luck. He had gone through all sorts of divinations, and he had made two mistakes in the thirty-plus steps. As for Yi Yun, he had already taken more than twenty steps. Yi Yun had walked down in a stable manner. Together with his accurate prophecy from before, it meant that Yi Yun had truly seen through the Blood Desert's worldly forces.
How did he do it?
In a blink of an eye, Yi Yun had already taken more than forty steps. This distance had exceeded the distance that the Azure Wood Manor had previously traveled. Although Yi Yun and the Azure Wood Manor had chosen two different paths, they were headed in the same direction. Now, Yi Yun was walking in front of the Azure Wood Manor separatists.
At that moment, the people from the Azure Wood Manor who did not believe in Yi Yun were rendered speechless. The truth was right in front of them. They had relied on the Art of Invisibility to infer a path of survival, and had risked their lives to find it. Yet, it was inferior to the path that Yi Yun had casually taken.
"Elder Dagu, this …"
"I'm not blind. I saw it!" The purple-robed elder said in a deep voice. He felt a deep blow from being surpassed so easily by Yi Yun.
"Elder Dagu, why don't we change our route and take the path that Yi Yun previously took?"
Seven Plume suddenly said. Their present location was only a few dozen steps away from Yi Yun. If they were to cut across and take the path that Yi Yun had taken, wouldn't that be equivalent to walking out of the Blood Desert?
"This … Alright …" The purple-robed old man nodded. Although this was a little cowardly, it was indeed the most effective and safest method.
"Wait! Bring us along! We can send a group of people to help you scout the path. Bring us along! "
A voice suddenly sounded from not far away. The person who spoke was the Immortal Rain Sect's Marquis Wu Yun.
The few Immortal Rain Sect disciples were filled with despair after witnessing the deaths of their companions. In the Blood Desert, they did not dare move at all. Now, they could only rely on the people from the Azure Wood Manor to leave this place.
If they knew that the interior of the Door to the 33 Skies was so dangerous, they would not have come even if a knife was pointed at them. The trip to the Azure Wood Great World was basically a disaster that had befallen them.
"Bring them along. Let them scout the path," said Seven Plume. The purple-robed elder nodded. "Come over by yourselves. It's your good fortune to be able to make it this far. If you can't, then it's your fate to die!"
…
"Yi Yun, these people want to follow us." Yue Yingsha said angrily when she saw the scene behind her.
At that moment, Yi Yun was already more than fifty steps ahead of the rest. As for the Azure Wood Manor separatists and the Immortal Rain Sect disciples, they had finally arrived at the path that Yi Yun had taken after paying a considerable price.
"Don't you have any shame? Seven Plume, you were the one who forced Yi Yun to scout the path for you. Yi Yun did not listen, so you forbade Yi Yun from following you. But now, Yi Yun has taken a path of survival. Yet, all of you shamelessly follow Yi Yun. How shameless! "
Yue Yingsha said from the front. Seven Plume chuckled and said disdainfully, "Junior Sister Yingsha, you are too childish. The path of martial arts is one where one is unscrupulous. What's the use of face? Can it help your cultivation level improve further? "
"Besides, which eye of yours saw that I was deliberately following you? It was just a coincidence that the path that Elder Dagu had divined was similar to yours. You might not wish for me to follow, but I don't wish for you to block my path!"
The more Seven Plume spoke, the more smug he became. He was not afraid that Yi Yun would switch paths. Wherever Yi Yun went, they would follow. Every step they took, every footprint they took, would be taken by Yi Yun. He refused to believe that there would be any danger.
"This person is too shameless!"
Yue Yingsha never expected that there would be such a shameless person in this world. Ignoring the fact that Yi Yun was following them, he had even said such shameless words.
Yi Yun said, "Why bother with such people? Let them follow us."
Seeing Yi Yun swallow his anger, Seven Plume gave a disdainful smile. This was the absolute suppression brought about by strength. He could not allow Yi Yun to follow them because they had the strength. If Yi Yun followed them, they would be destroyed.
But what could Yi Yun do? Didn't he just obediently accept it?
"Junior Brother Seven Plume, I wonder what mystic technique this Yi Yun knows. He is actually able to do so well in the Blood Desert. The Door to the 33 Skies is fraught with danger.
We might still need him, "said a man with a large, flesh-colored mole on his cheek. The way he looked at Yi Yun had a glint in his eyes. He was scheming against Yi Yun, thinking of a way to completely dominate Yi Yun.
Seven Plume nodded. "I know what you are saying. Although this Yi Yun is a little unorthodox, his strength is his weakness. As long as we grasp this point, he will still be of use to us."
"Junior Brother Seven Plume, it's good that you know what to do." The man with the mole said with a nod. Suddenly, the muscles on his face stiffened as his expression froze completely. Even his footsteps came to a halt.
"Oh? Senior Brother, what's wrong? " Seven Plume was taken aback as he came to a halt. He looked at the man behind him. Although the Azure Wood Manor disciples had been following Yi Yun, Seven Plume did not lower his guard.
The man with the mole did not answer Seven Plume at all. He had remained motionless for about five seconds. It was truly strange.
If this were the first time they stepped into the Blood Desert, Seven Plume would have distanced himself from the man if he saw such a situation. However, the man with the mole's situation was completely different from the few people who had been vaporized. Those people had instantly melted, so it was impossible for them to remain motionless for so long.
Just as Seven Plume was hesitantly releasing his senses to find out what was going on, he saw a horrifying scene.
Countless ice crystals slowly seeped out of the man's body. The ice crystals pierced through his skin, but not a single drop of blood flowed out. The blood had long been frozen. Countless ice crystals bloomed like plum blossoms as they quickly spread across the man's body.
The man did not notice it. In fact, although he was still maintaining his standing posture, there was no vitality in his body. In just a few seconds, the man was completely covered in ice crystals, turning into an ice sculpture!
The man's face was constantly hung with a shocked and strange expression. Through the distortion and refraction of the ice, it was hair-raising.
