Chapter 723 Blood Lake Changes
While the Xumi Sect's Shi Xiang was meeting with Feng Tianshu on behalf of the Xumi Sect to discuss the cooperation, the Xiao family and the Cai family were also busy. They were very proud during this period.
In addition to Xiao Xuelian, the Xiao family also had two Nascent Soul cultivators, one of whom was Xiao Xuelian's father, the current Xiao family's Grand Elder Xiao Bo, and the other was the original head of the Xiao family, the current Great Elder Xiao Hai.
Xiao Xuelian was now far away on the Soul Refining Island. After the Liehai City Incident, he had not returned to the Blood Demon Island. The Xiao family had been ruled by the brothers Xiao Bo and Xiao Hai. The two knew that they could not defeat Xie Yunya with their abilities, so they did not dare to think about invading the Blood Demon Palace. However, for the territory outside the Blood Demon Palace, the Xiao family was taking advantage of the chaos on the Blood Demon Island to encroach on it.
The main purpose of fighting for territory was to fight for the ownership of several blood rivers. The source of the blood river, the Blood Lake, was naturally the object of the two families' current competition. They could not take the Blood Lake for themselves, but they could quietly place special magic weapons in the Blood River, and take this opportunity to frantically swallow the blood flowing out of the Blood Lake and store it for future cultivation.
The cultivators guarding the Blood Lake seemed not to notice that the surface of the Blood Lake was quietly dropping. Anyone with a little bit of mind should be able to notice that less than a year has passed, and the blood source of the entire Blood Lake has at least dropped by several feet.
Now, the Xiao family occupies three branches, and the Cai family occupies two branches. The Xiao family is made up of two Yuanying cultivators and one late Jindan cultivator, and the Cai family is made up of two Yuanying cultivators, each occupying a blood river.
In order to prevent being noticed, they only choose to sink to the bottom of the Blood River at a certain time every day, and use the space treasure that can store blood source to frantically swallow the blood source of the Blood Lake. The rest of the time, they wander around the Blood Lake as if nothing happened.
On this day, when Xiao Bo and others sank to the bottom of the blood river again and were about to take out the treasure to absorb the blood source, they suddenly discovered a terrible thing.
The water level of the blood river was constantly decreasing, and the blood spirit energy in the blood river was also rapidly drying up!
None of them knew what had happened, and they hurriedly escaped from the blood river, floating above the blood river, and looked down in doubt.
However, they saw that the blood source water in the blood rivers was getting less and less, gradually approaching drying up, and the blood spirit energy contained in the blood source water completely disappeared when the blood source water was about to dry up!
The five people were shocked at the same time, and they fled to the periphery of the blood lake without going up from the source, and started to check. At this sight, the five people were stunned in place, looking at the blood lake where the water level was sinking rapidly, and they were at a loss.
At this time, the blood ban above the entire blood lake suddenly sounded a sharp and strange whistle. This sound, for the entire Blood Demon Sect's cultivators, naturally understood what it meant!
The blood ban is the ban contained in the Divine Blood Lake itself, which has the power to protect the entire Divine Blood Lake. And the blood ban can only emit a strange roar when its power ban is about to be broken.
This kind of scene has only happened twice in the entire Blood Demon Sect. One time was when the founder of the Blood Demon Sect, the Blood Demon Ancestor, took the Nine Profound Linglong Tower to ascend to heaven, and the other time was when the former Blood Demon Sect leader took the Nine Profound Linglong Tower to ascend.
And the only thing that can cause the blood ban of the blood lake to fail is the Nine Profound Linglong Tower. Once the Nine Profound Linglong Tower leaves the blood lake, the ancient well of the Divine Blood at the bottom of the blood lake will completely close and disappear, and the blood ban will naturally become invalid.
The originally extremely calm blood lake was completely boiling in an instant because of the strange roar. Hundreds of escape lights whistled in succession, all condensed in the void outside the blood lake, and looked at the blood lake with different expressions.
The water of the blood lake was sinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. It seemed that there was a terrifying beast swallowing the water of the blood lake, causing it to disappear madly.
In just a few minutes, the blood lake with a radius of a thousand miles dried up completely, revealing the hideous blood-colored rock layer and mud at the bottom of the lake.
The mud was also drying up and solidifying rapidly. The blood source and blood spirit energy in it were quickly drained by some terrible force, gradually turning into red and black stones, attached to the rock layer at the bottom of the lake.
And the legendary God Blood Ancient Well, looking at the entire blood lake with a radius of a thousand miles, there was no trace at all. There was nothing else except a huge tiankeng thousands of feet deep.
Not only was there no trace of the God Blood Ancient Well, but there was also no trace of the mysterious Nine Mysterious Linglong Tower that had been rumored.
At this moment, all the cultivators who had been guarding the Blood Lake and coveting the treasure and the treasure under the ancient well of the Divine Blood were completely stunned.
Not only were the people of Xumi Sect completely stunned at this moment, but Ni Daoming, Feng Tianshou, the cultivators of the Xiao family, the cultivators of the Cai family, and all other disciples of the Blood Demon Sect were also dumbfounded at this moment.
The drying up of the Blood Lake meant that the Blood Demon Sect either had a divine ancestor who was about to pass the tribulation and ascend to heaven, or someone had stolen the treasure inherited by the sect. But no matter which possibility it was, it meant disaster and catastrophe for the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect.
The most bizarre thing was that such a catastrophe occurred in the Blood Lake and made such a big noise, but the entire Blood Demon Palace was silent and unresponsive. It seemed that Xie Yunya, who was sitting in the Blood Demon Palace, did not notice any abnormality at all.
Such a strange scene immediately made everyone turn their eyes to the direction of the Blood Demon Palace. Some high-level monks even couldn't help but probe their spiritual senses and spy on the Blood Demon Palace, wanting to see if there was any abnormality in the Blood Demon Palace.
Could it be that Xie Yunya was kidnapped or killed? Her treasure was taken away?
At this moment, almost all people had this question in their hearts. However, the meaning behind this question was too difficult for everyone to accept, and even too scary!
The person who could take away the treasure of the cave heaven directly must be an existence at the level of the Emperor Buddha Patriarch. This made everyone think of the disaster that happened in Liehai City last time! Think of the disaster that happened in the Taoist Palace Secret Realm!
Could it be that this was done by the same person? He didn't know when he entered the Wuliang Xumi Cave Heaven, and had been eyeing the best treasures and treasures in this cave heaven. He would not be satisfied until he took them all away?
These three things were obviously not done by the Emperor Buddha Patriarch. Whether it was the cultivators of Xumi Sect or the cultivators of other sects or families, they could all confirm this. In order to deal with the great catastrophe of the realm, the Emperor Buddha Patriarch had only come out of the mountain once in the past hundred years. Since then, he has been busy on the top of Xumi Mountain, refining a treasure powerful enough to fight against the great catastrophe of the realm.
And the only one who was capable of doing this was the unicorn beast that had been hiding in Liehai City, the white dog Di Ting!
When everyone thought about this, their faces were shocked and panicked. They kept looking around, but still found nothing.
At this moment, a beam of light suddenly broke through the restriction outside the Blood Demon Palace, rushed out of the Blood Demon Palace, and fled to the south.
Seeing this scene, everyone did not react for a while. At this time, a very shrill female scream suddenly came from the Blood Demon Palace: "Oh no! Someone broke into the Blood Demon Palace, killed the eldest lady, robbed the treasure of our sect and ran away!"
This shrill female scream immediately brought everyone back to their senses, and they all looked at the figure who was running away to the south in shock.
Even the highest-level Yuanying cultivators hesitated at this moment, not knowing whether to chase after him.
How could they be able to deal with a cultivator who could kill Xie Yunya and take away the treasure of the Blood Demon Palace?
"Damn you Xuanyuan Jie! My eldest daughter sincerely invited you to stay in the Blood Demon Palace temporarily. I never thought that you, a thief, would harbor evil intentions and secretly harm my daughter and steal the treasures of my Blood Demon Palace! I, Xie Xiaoqing, must go to Yanfu Island to tell the sect master about this matter. I will avenge my daughter no matter where I go!"
Just as everyone was hesitating, a beam of light shot out from the Blood Demon Palace. Inside the beam of light was an inconspicuous Pegasus beast carriage. At the front of the beast carriage, a woman in green with a gruesome expression on her face was gritting her teeth and looking at the direction where the light had just left, cursing non-stop.
The door of the beast carriage opened a crack, and there was a woman in green inside. Indistinctly, she seemed to be holding Xie Yunya's body and crying loudly.
The woman at the front of the car was shocked to see so many monks watching. When she came to her senses, she showed a frightened expression on her face. She waved the long whip in her hand and drove the beast cart into a light, rushing in the opposite direction, and disappeared in an instant.
The people who were still hesitating suddenly woke up when they heard the words of the green-clothed maid driving the car. Several Yuanying great monks showed extremely excited expressions on their faces. How could they bear it?
Suddenly, the first person to react turned into several lights and chased in the direction of the previous light. The others who reacted slowly, after the lights disappeared, shouted and chased in that direction.
More foundation-building and core-forming cultivators, and even some Yuanying cultivators who knew it was useless to chase, such as the four Yuanying cultivators from the Xiao family and the Cai family, looked in the direction where the beast cart had just fled.
Even if Xie Yunya was really killed by Xuanyuan Jie, Xuanyuan Jie must have stolen the blood demon sect's inheritance treasures, and he had no time to search Xie Yunya's body for treasures. And Xie Yunya is the eldest daughter of the blood demon sect, how could she have few treasures on her body?
After a moment of hesitation, the group of people gritted their teeth and chased madly in the direction where the Tianma beast carriage disappeared.
In just a moment, the four palaces on the four sides of the entire blood lake became silent and completely empty.
The people chasing Xuanyuan Jie were the six Arhat Dharma-phase monks of the Xumi Sect, as well as Ni Daoming and Feng Tianshou.
It is unknown whether Xuanyuan Jie, who was fleeing in front, was injured in the fight with Xie Yunya or because it was inconvenient to escape with the blood demon sect's treasures, so in his panic, his escape speed was not very fast.
Although he escaped first, he was caught up by the eight people behind him after only escaping for more than a thousand miles.
The eight people had communicated with each other through their minds during the pursuit, and now surrounded him from all directions, and immediately blocked the person who seemed to be Xuanyuan Jie.
The escaping light saw that he was surrounded and felt that he could not escape, so he retracted his escaping light and revealed his appearance. It was indeed Xuanyuan Jie. But he fell to the mountains below without hesitation. The eight people saw Xuanyuan Jie appear, and they were overjoyed. How could they let him escape? They couldn't help but retract their escaping lights and chased him down.
