Seeing this scene, Master Shao Ze forgot to catch the thrown iron for a moment, and the falling iron caused a crack to appear on the ground.
"What's written in it?"
The demon lord asked hurriedly.
"See for yourself."
The Spirit Master said calmly.
"... ..."
The evil master was silent for a while. He reached out and took the handwritten letter, opened it and took a look, with a strange look on his face.
"What do you mean?"
The Demon Lord turned to look at the Evil Lord, his anxiety evident in his words.
"There is no information about this matter. There is not even any mention of the Blood Lord." The Demon Lord put down the handwritten note, turned his head slightly to look at the Zither Demon Girl, and then continued, "It's about the Saint Girl."
"What?"
Lord Shao Ze and Lord Demon showed astonished expressions. They did not expect that this earth-shaking event that shocked the four regions of Jiuzhou was still not as great as the Saint Girl's affairs in the eyes of Lord Saint.
"The Lord Saint said that from now on, Su Yiyao has resigned from the position of Saint Maiden and will no longer be the Saint Maiden of the Yinling Temple." The Lord of Evil said, "Besides that, there is no other news."
"That's it?"
Lord Shaoze snatched the imperial edict from Lord Sha's hand and examined it carefully.
The Demon Lord also came over to look, and the more he looked, the weirder their expressions became.
"No more?"
The demon lord turned his head and looked at the witch who was plucking the strings of the zither.
The Witch of the Qin ignored him.
"Sister Qin," the Spirit Master asked at this time, "Saint Lady... Oh no, Su Yiyao, who is she?"
The Witch of the Zither stopped playing and hesitated for a moment, as if she was thinking about how to answer.
"have no idea."
She said.
"The Holy Lord specifically told us this matter through a written order. Is there any other deeper meaning?"
The evil master said in a deep voice.
"have no idea."
"Does the Holy Lord mean that Su Yiyao betrayed the Yinling Temple?" Lord Shaoze frowned slightly.
"have no idea."
"I don't know this or that," the demon master said anxiously, "Lady Qin, what do you know?"
The Zither Witch looked up at the Demon Lord, her pure white eyes devoid of any emotion.
She looked down at the piano in front of her and said,
"have no idea."
"... ..."
The four pulse masters were silent for a while.
They had not spent much time with the Zither Demon Girl, and they only knew that she was the Holy Lord's confidant and the one most trusted by him. Almost all of the Holy Lord's orders came from her.
The Holy Lord has not appeared for a long time. Only his power remains in the temple, intimidating everyone at all times.
"Where did Su Yiyao go?"
The Spirit Master looked at the Zither Witch and said.
Unexpectedly, the Zither Witch did not continue to say that she did not know, but directly answered the Spirit Master's question.
“Sea of blood.”
"Sea of blood?"
All the vein masters exclaimed in unison.
"She... is planning to go back?"
The evil master frowned slightly.
"Maybe she has already done what she wanted to do." The Spirit Master said lightly.
"So, what exactly does she want to do..."
The demon lord scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, his brows furrowed into a knot.
Master Shao Ze also looked like he was deep in thought, recalling what the Saint had done after she appeared in the world.
"Luo Xue, where have you been?" the Spirit Master asked at this time.
"Luo Xue?"
Several clan leaders were stunned at first, as they were unfamiliar with the name, but they soon remembered it.
Luo Xue was the target of the huge bounty issued by the Saint Maiden before she left the Yinling Temple, the disciple of the Juexiao Sect who had little cultivation.
Although the leaders knew this news, they were more concerned about why the Saint made such a ridiculous decision rather than how special Luo Xue was.
There is no way. Luo Xue’s resume is too clean and clear at a glance. There is no detail worth pondering at all.
It was not until the Spiritual Master pointed this out that the various Vein Masters suddenly reacted.
I'm afraid... Luo Xue is not as simple as they think.
“Sea of blood.”
The Witch of the Qin replied.
"Could it be that she also came from the sea of blood?" the evil master murmured.
The boundless sea of blood located in the center of the four realms of the Demon Abyss is one of the most mysterious secrets in this world.
The only person who has emerged from the sea of blood in thousands of years is Su Yiyao. Her ancient and heavy heritage further proves that there are shocking secrets hidden deep in the sea of blood.
Perhaps, this is also the case with Luo Xue.
After all the vein masters pondered in vain, they could only leave one after another.
Compared to the saint, they have more important things to do.
For this matter, they used all their strength to kill the Blood Lord and had been preparing for a thousand years.
Only the Zither Witch remained alone, playing leisurely solo.
"Master Saint, have you... seen Luo Xue?"
The Zither Witch asked softly, not knowing who she was talking to.
But soon, she slowly opened her mouth, but with another extremely cold voice.
“No.”
"What about the previous times?"
“None.”
Chapter 120: Ten Thousand Years of Withering Body
Located deep in the four realms of the Demon Abyss, it is a place that no cultivator has ever been able to reach.
This place is like a corner forgotten by the whole world, gathering all the desolation and gloom of the fairyland and the devil abyss. No creature can survive in this extremely harsh environment.
Countless people have wanted to explore the mysteries of the depths of the sea of blood, but no one has ever succeeded. Even the Nascent Soul cultivators who entered the sea of blood when they were near their death had not been able to come out again.
The blood sea never spreads, but just absorbs the decay from all things in the world. It seems to have no effect on the world, but... no one dares to ignore the existence of the blood sea.
When Luo Xue stepped on the blood-red soil, she did not feel any discomfort.
This was not because of her resistance to poison or her poisonous body. In addition to the dense and omnipresent Yin aura, there was also scorching hot air that almost burned her skin.
When Luo Xue breathed in and out, the hot air instantly filled her whole body, but this heat only brought her warmth.
It's not even as uncomfortable as the temperature at the core of the Evil Spirit Gate's refining formation, although the temperature here is definitely much higher than that of the core of the formation.
This... shouldn't be a problem of heat resistance.
Luo Xue slowly opened her eyes and squatted down tiredly.
She looked inward and finally discovered why she was so abnormally tired.
At this moment, her sea of consciousness and spiritual orifice had fallen silent, with only a drop of purple-red blood swimming restlessly.
"True Phoenix Blood..."
Luo Xue’s vision returned to the real world and her pupils shrank slightly.
She looked towards the sea of blood and could vaguely feel the connection between the True Phoenix's blood and the sea of blood. It was because of this that she would not be burned by the heat.
In a sense, Luo Xue, who has absorbed some of the true phoenix's essence and blood, is already half an ancient mythical beast.
When a real phoenix spreads its wings in its true form, it can fly more than ten thousand miles!
Not to mention essence and blood, even if ordinary blood were integrated into a tiny human body, it would be enough to cause earth-shaking changes.
This subtle influence was particularly obvious to Luo Xue because she was previously an ordinary human being with no bloodline.
Moreover, for a body that has just stepped into the path of immortality, the suppressive power of the True Phoenix Blood is too strong, which is not a good thing either.
When she was in the outside world before, there was a seal restricting the True Phoenix's blood essence, allowing Luo Xue to absorb it slowly and gradually transform her physique.
Now that they had arrived at the sea of blood, the True Phoenix's blood essence was more active than ever before, causing Luo Xue to feel extremely tired.
She could not bear the active True Phoenix blood essence, and even her silver hair was stained with purple and red, and her delicate and tender face showed a strange charm.
A True Phoenix Dao pattern vaguely appeared on Luo Xue's body, and there was a virtual shadow of a True Phoenix shrouding Luo Xue, performing a peerless posture to the fullest. One glance would make one indulge in its boundless Dao aura.
"Are we there yet?"
Luo Xue couldn't help but ask.
"Not yet."
She heard hallucinations in her ears.
This seemed to be the voice of Feng Yin Zhenren, but also seemed to be that of another strange woman.
"Do we have to continue westward?"
"Um."
"Oh well."
Luo Xue perked up a bit and continued to move forward.
She took one step deep and one step shallow, and the heavy sea of blood reached her knees.
Not far away, several figures looked at her silently.
"How could a young cultivator of the Yunling Spirit actually make it to this point?"
"When Su Yiyao emerged from the depths of the blood sea with the cultivation base at the peak of foundation building, it was shocking enough... What happened today was not unexpected."
"So, why are there two doors? The legacy of the gatekeeper... shouldn't there be only one?"
"Perhaps, this time the catastrophe... will be different..."
Four voices were discussing silently and calmly, but no one except them could hear their conversation.
A little further away, a beautiful little girl was carrying a coffin and approaching the sea of blood with difficulty.
From somewhere, an imperceptible gaze fell on them, and then looked at the four people standing outside the sea of blood.
"Liu Lian."
"Slave... is here."
"Bring them back," her red eyes slowly closed, "some things should be said."
"... As you command."
