"Tai He, don’t panic, I’m here to help you."
Xi Ling’s voice suddenly rang out.
She had already dealt with the Blackwater Spear that had been shot at her.
Under her control, the ten blades of her Mother-Child Blades seed to be connected by an invisible force.
The Mother-Child Blades rapidly rotated around the Blackwater Spear, cutting it into countless tiny droplets without even touching it.
They continued to divide the spear until it was reduced to a cloud of black mist floating in the air.
At this mont, Xi Ling saw that Tai He was threatened by two Blackwater Spears and imdiately activated her Mother-Child Blades, repeating the sa technique to encircle one of the spears.
Seeing this, Tai He stopped using the Minor Teleportation Talisman.
Although he had drawn the talisman himself, it was extrely costly, and he didn’t have many left. It was better to save it for ergencies.
Tai He continued to activate the Plaguefall Banner, releasing a massive amount of green poisonous mist that surged toward the other Blackwater Spear.
With their combined efforts, Tai He and Xi Ling successfully destroyed both Blackwater Spears.
"Yin Shuo, how dare you set up? You’re asking for death!" Tai He was furious.
The green poisonous mist surged like an angry dragon, charging straight at Song Wen.
Song Wen quickly retreated, fleeing into the sky.
"Fellow Daoist Tai He, hold on! With a great enemy before us, how can we fight among ourselves?"
"You despicable scoundrel, how dare you talk about ’not fighting among ourselves’? Keeping you alive is the greatest danger!" Tai He shouted.
His words were not just for Song Wen but also for the other eight Nascent Soul cultivators.
He had always intended to kill Song Wen and take the Bronze Key Coffin from him.
Song Wen’s attempt to shift the bla had given him the perfect excuse to act.
By killing Song Wen now, neither the righteous nor the demonic Nascent Soul cultivators would have anything to say.
"The cultivation technique I practice is best suited for close combat. That Blackwater is too strange, and I dare not let it get close to , so I had to ask for your help, Tai He. Please don’t take offense!" Song Wen hurriedly explained.
At the sa ti, he suddenly transford into a three-zhang-tall Giant Corpse, preparing to withstand the onslaught of the poisonous mist.
"May the Buddha have rcy. Fellow Daoist Tai He, be lenient where you can. With strong enemies surrounding us, why must you be so aggressive?" Mi Hai, who had just blocked a Blackwater Spear aid at him, took a mont to speak up in Song Wen’s defense.
He had a deep grudge against both Tai He and Xi Ling, and if he could win Song Wen over with just a few words, why not?
"Mi Hai, this matter has nothing to do with you. It’s best if you don’t interfere," Xi Ling said.
"Xi Ling, Tai He. Stop fighting among yourselves. With just , Mi Hai, and Mo Yexue, we can’t hold off the Calamity Scorpion and the Dragon Leech," Lan Chen’s voice ca through.
At this mont, the Calamity Scorpion and the Dragon Leech launched another round of attacks.
Seeing the six below gradually turning against each other, Gou Jun’s voice suddenly rang out from high above.
"Stop! What are you doing? Settle any grievances after we’ve killed Xiao Yue!"
With Gou Jun’s warning, the previously aggressive Tai He imdiately cald down, reluctantly glaring at Song Wen before focusing on dealing with the attacks of the two beasts.
With the combined defense of the six, the Calamity Scorpion and the Dragon Leech were unable to interfere with the four high above.
anwhile, under the combined assault of Gou Jun and the others, Xiao Yue gradually weakened and was finally killed by a sneak attack from Gui Ni.
With the death of Xiao Yue, the Calamity Scorpion and the Dragon Leech regained their freedom, ceasing their fierce battle and burrowing into the underground caves to escape.
Gou Jun used his Spiritual Power to drag the massive corpse of Xiao Yue over to where Song Wen and the other five were standing.
"What’s going on with you all? Why are you fighting amongst yourselves when facing a powerful enemy?" Gou Jun demanded sternly.
Tai He quickly spoke up, "Brother Gou Jun, it was Yin Shuo who—"
"I don’t want to hear any excuses!"
Gou Jun cut off Tai He, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Song Wen.
"Your personal grudges are none of my concern. However, there must be no infighting when we are collectively facing an external threat. If anyone dares to undermine us at a critical mont again, don’t bla for being ruthless!"
Chastened by Gou Jun’s rebuke, Tai He said no more, but his cold gaze remained fixed on Song Wen.
Next, the ten of them began to distribute the spoils of the battle.
Although Xiao Yue was a beast, it also possessed a Storage Ring, which contained a considerable amount of Spirit Stones and high-grade spiritual herbs.
However, these treasures had little to do with Song Wen.
Throughout the entire battle, he had contributed almost nothing and ended up only receiving Xiao Yue’s soul. Nevertheless, Song Wen was extrely satisfied with this outco.
After all, it was the soul of a peak fourth-tier beast.
Once the spoils were divided, the ten of them began to ditate to restore their Spiritual Power, quietly awaiting the opening of the secret realm.
Five days later.
The blood-red light on the cliff grew increasingly intense, almost dyeing the surrounding mountains within a radius of dozens of miles in a crimson hue.
Suddenly.
The cliff began to shimr with rippling waves of light.
At that mont, it seed as though the cliff was no longer a solid wall of stone, but rather a vertical pool of blood.
Gou Jun, who had been floating in mid-air with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, a flash of brilliance in his gaze.
"Everyone, the Divine Blood Hall has opened. By using the Bronze Key Coffin, you can pass through the cliff and enter the Divine Blood Hall."
Upon hearing this, the other nine all stared intently at the cliff, but none dared to make the first move to enter.
Yang Yu spoke up, "Brother Gou Jun, among us, you are the only one who has entered the Divine Blood Hall before. And yet, you have always been tight-lipped about the details of its interior. Isn’t it ti you shared so information with us?"
Gou Jun replied, "It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I myself know very little about the Divine Blood Hall. Three hundred years ago, I was only at the late Nascent Soul stage and entered alone, with limited strength. The Divine Blood Hall is fraught with dangers, and I only managed to explore a very small area."
"The interior of the Divine Blood Hall is divided into countless regions by restrictions and formations. Back then, I only explored four regions before sustaining severe injuries and being forced to retreat."
Yang Yu asked, "Brother Gou Jun, could you elaborate on the four regions you explored?"
Gou Jun said, "After passing through the stone wall, the first region you enter is the main gate of the Divine Blood Hall. Apart from a large square, the gate area is completely empty. In the northeast corner of the gate, there is a small teleportation formation. Stepping into the formation will take you to a snowy mountain. There are so beasts on the mountain, but the strongest are only at the third tier, posing no threat to us."
"At the southern foot of the snow mountain, there is also a small teleportation array. Through this array, one can reach a palace called the ’Soul Hall.’ The palace is filled with a large number of ghostly creatures, ranging from first to fourth tier. This hall is extrely dangerous; even a slight misstep could lead to the demise of us Nascent Soul cultivators."
"Through the teleportation array in the southwest corner of the Soul Hall, one can be transported to a place called ’Blood Corpse Mountain.’ It was on this mountain that I was severely injured by the elusive Blood Corpses. In the end, I was forced to retreat from the Divine Blood Hall."
