"Bai girl, come to grandpa."
Tao Fengnian smiled kindly. Jiang Yuebai looked at him steadily and walked over slowly.
When he got close, Tao Fengnian reached out to touch Jiang Yuebai's head.
"Let grandpa see how much you have grown over the years."
Jiang Yuebai's misty eyes suddenly became sharp, and he pulled out the bone knife and slashed it down.
"Who's grandpa?! I'm your grandpa!"
Jiang Yuebai stepped hard on the ghost on the ground. Long before she set out, she warned herself in her heart that if she was invaded by the blood evil, the people most likely to see it would be her grandfather, parents and younger brother, and they would all be killed without mercy!
"noob!"
Lu Nanzhi's hand patted on her shoulder, and Jiang Yuebai suddenly came back to her senses. She saw the hay on the ground that she had flattened, and touched her face awkwardly.
"This is my first time dealing with a blood demon and I have no experience."
Lu Nanzhi said, "There are three fires in the human body that can drive away ghosts, the shoulders and the center of the eyebrows. If you visualize these three places and keep your mind focused, you will not be confused by the blood evil and have hallucinations."
Jiang Yuebai nodded, and after the visualization, she felt clear-headed and had good vision. However, as the bloody aura around her became increasingly dense, she began to feel a sharp pain like scraping bones.
The bloody evil energy is like thin needles, constantly invading the body from all parts, and you have to resist it with all your strength.
Lu Nanzhi looked calm, without even any way to protect herself. She let the blood wash over her body without even frowning.
Noticing Jiang Yuebai's gaze, Lu Nanzhi looked at the blood sea whose water level was dropping rapidly, "I'm used to it. I've been using it to train my body over the years. I learned it from you."
Jiang Yuebai was stimulated, and immediately wanted to put away her protective qi and start strengthening her body, but she was not a magic cultivator, and the bloody evil spirit would not do her any good, so she quickly suppressed her desire to win.
"The entrance to the secret passage has emerged."
Miaoyin pointed to the sea of blood, and Jiang Yuebai saw a zigzag staircase extending downwards on the cliff-like shore. As the water level dropped, a sealed stone door on the cliff was revealed.
Miaoyin took the lead and her ghost body went straight through the stone gate, with half of her body emerging after a moment.
"There's no one inside. How did you get in? This stone door is a ton of weight and a foot thick. If you force it, it will make too much noise."
Hearing this, Lu Nanzhi put the half-drawn sword back in, and Miaoyin looked at Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai moved her fingers slightly. How did Miaoyin know that she had a way? She didn't look at or ask Lu Nanzhi, but looked directly at herself.
"Let me do it." Jiang Yuebai grabbed Lu Nanzhi's arm, "Don't resist."
Black ghost smoke swirled up from under Jiang Yuebai's feet and enveloped the two of them in just three breaths. A huge pulling force pulled them out more than ten feet and went straight through the stone gate into the passage inside.
It used to take about ten breaths to activate the Five Ghosts Movement Technique, but after switching to high-level ghosts, it only takes three breaths, and Jiang Yuebai can also control the distance at will.
Luo Yan Dun is different from the Five Ghosts Moving Technique and cannot ignore obstacles.
The passage was deep and dark, filled with a faint red mist. On both sides were carvings of evil spirits with ghost faces and fangs, staring down at the people passing by, looking eerie and terrifying.
Lu Nanzhi felt it carefully and said, "As long as I don't use force, it won't be a problem to resist this level of blood evil for an hour."
"Time is running out, let's go quickly." Miaoyin urged, walking in front to lead the way.
The mechanisms in the passage were all destroyed by ghost treasure hunters in the early years. Occasionally, a few wandering souls would be encountered, and Miaoyin would easily deal with them.
There were many forks in the road all the way down, each leading to a different place in the city. Jiang Yuebai walked while checking the map given by Miaoyin.
Lu Nanzhi concentrated on resisting the bloody evil energy, using it to cleanse and temper his body, without saying a word the entire time.
Jiang Yuebai didn't want to disturb her, so he walked over to Miaoyin and said, "Senior Miaoyin, although Guanghan Sword Lord is not good at speaking, he is not a pedantic person. You don't have to be afraid of seeing him. He will be happy to see that you are still alive."
Miaoyin was visibly nervous, "Maybe it's been too long. I don't know what to say when we meet."
Jiang Yuebai asked tentatively, "Do you have any other concerns?"
Miaoyin clenched her hands that were hanging by her side. "I've been in Shura Domain for nearly four hundred years. My hands are already stained with blood. It was a fluke that I survived the Golden Core Tribulation. I may not survive the Nascent Soul Tribulation. Why should I keep thinking about him? I heard from Yuan Xin that he has lived a good life these years. It's enough to know this."
"What about your obsession? If you didn't have feelings for him and were obsessed with him, how could you have survived?"
Miaoyin had a complicated expression. "Actually, I didn't become a ghost cultivator because of obsession. The specific reason is strange to me. It was me who made Guanghan abandon me and escape with Canghuo. I was willing to die, so how could I have obsession?"
"Senior Miaoyin, have we met before?"
Miaoyin was stunned, stopped and looked at Jiang Yuebai, "How could we have met before? Why are you asking?"
Jiang Yuebai smiled, "I don't know. Most of the time I feel like we're meeting for the first time, but sometimes, I always feel like the way you look at me seems to be very familiar with me."
At the fork in the road, Miaoyin looked left and right to identify the route and walked into one of the roads. "Yuan Xin has often mentioned you over the years, so I am not completely ignorant of you."
"But I remember she once said to Xie Jingshan, don't talk about things that are known to everyone, and never tell about things that you know only to yourself. She can't tell you that I know the Five Ghosts Moving Technique, right?"
Miaoyin suddenly stopped and stared ahead. A black shadow stood in the blood mist, with black flames burning all over his body, full of murderous aura.
Lu Nanzhi rushed in front of the two men in one step, drew his Bingpo sword, and was on full alert.
"who?"
Jiang Yuebai walked to the side of Lu Nanzhi and squinted to look at him. The man had disheveled hair and a bone mask on his face. His black clothes were tattered, revealing the rotten, blue-black flesh underneath. He didn't look like a living person at all.
He held two bone swords in his hands, and the black fire on the swords gave off a frightening aura, and even the bloody evil around him was burned to ashes in the black fire.
The man said nothing and stood there motionless like a statue, with only his tattered clothes and messy hair flying in the black fire.
Lu Nanzhi and Jiang Yuebai looked at each other. Lu Nanzhi stepped forward to test the situation. Jiang Yuebai held her back and winked at her, then stepped forward himself.
At the end of this road is the Blood Prison where they are going, and it is also the only way to the Blood Prison.
"ah!"
Miaoyin's voice suddenly came from behind. Jiang Yuebai turned around immediately, only to see a hand reaching out from the wall and suddenly pulling Miaoyin in.
"Senior Miaoyin!"
Lu Nanzhi swung his sword with all his might, and the entire wall froze and exploded instantly. Behind the wall was only rock, and no one was to be seen.
"careful!"
A fierce wind struck with force like thunder. Jiang Yuebai pushed Lu Nanzhi away and tried to block it, but his body was split in half by the bone sword stained with black fire. The black fire spread throughout his body, and the white vine clone turned into ashes in an instant.
Lu Nanzhi looked at the corpse-like man in surprise. The speed of his attacks was like teleportation, making it impossible to defend against them.
Jiang Yuebai's real body rushed out from the darkness, and with a white dragon spear, he rushed towards the man from behind like a dragon emerging from the sea. Seeing this, Lu Nanzhi drew his sword and attacked him from the front and back with Jiang Yuebai.
