Leaving the cloud peak, the three of them traveled dozens of thousands of meters. When they reached the sea where they couldn't see Cloud Prefecture anymore, Bloodthirsty stopped. Then, his Blood Qi surged. The sky was red, the clouds in the sky were fiery red, and the sea on the ground was blood. In this Blood Qi Domain, Qin Shi couldn't help but frown. He felt pressured. However, as his Blood Qi surged, three muscular silhouettes appeared in the empty sky. They were all tall and muscular. Behind them was a blood space torn by two bloody hands. In the center was a blood vortex that led to an unknown place.
Walking to the three of them, Bloodthirsty introduced them. "Demon Venerable, these three are my most reliable subordinates in the past dozens of thousands of years. You can trust them all. They are Zhang Chen, Shi Zengyu, and Meng Xianlong."
Evil Devil raked his eyes through the three of them. No doubt, they had the World Realm cultivation base. He nodded in satisfaction. "Seems like they've inherited your legacy."
"Yeah, they're very talented in using Blood Qi. You know that my Blood Qi isn't something ordinary people can inherit. It's not easy to find three talented ones. Of course, I won't let them go."
Then, Bloodthirsty turned to the three of them. "Why are you standing there?
Come and greet Demon Venerable! "
The three of them were bewildered, exchanging looks. They knew Heaven Devouring Demon Venerable, but today, they found that it was different from what they had imagined. They said awkwardly, "Greetings, Demon Venerable."
"No need to be so formal. I hate to be tied down. Since you three are Bloodthirsty's subordinates, I trust you one hundred percent. Is the Space Transmission Formation ready?"
"Yeah, it's ready. The other side is the island where the Immortal Ridge appeared."
"Then, let's go." Evil Devil didn't linger, taking the lead and stepping into the blood-red Space Transmission Formation.
Bloodthirsty lived up to his name. Even his Space Transmission Formation was filled with Blood Qi. Evil Devil couldn't help but scold him. "You really don't know how to improve. Will the Blood Qi in the Space Transmission Formation affect my Demon Blood?"
"Demon Venerable, don't worry. If it's ordinary Demon Blood, I'm afraid they would explode and die in the passage. However, I can't affect your Demon Blood." Bloodthirsty smiled wryly.
"Scram, stop flattering me here. It's fine as long as it doesn't affect me. Also, there's something I want to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Now that we've reached the Longevity Ridge, there's no need for you to follow me back to the Cloud Province."
"What?" Bloodthirsty was bewildered. He didn't get it. "Why?
In the past tens of thousands of years, I have never fallen behind in every confrontation with the Chi Group. Now that you have just returned, how can I not go back? "
"That's settled then. I have more important things to arrange for you."
The evil spirit ignored Bloodthirsty's retort. Just as he was about to say something, his demon eyes suddenly flashed strangely as he stared at the area outside the spatial wall. Bloodthirsty seemed to have noticed this. After a quick glance, his face grimaced and his blood aura exploded. "Hey, how bold! Someone dares to follow us?"
"Zhang Chen!
You and Shi Zengyu go kill them! "Then, Bloodthirsty ordered.
"No need!"
Unexpectedly, the Nefarious Devil stopped them at this moment. Then, his devil soul scattered slightly, and a remnant soul tore open a crack in the spatial tunnel. Endless darkness immediately covered the sky outside. Only then did he discover to his shock that there were three figures outside the spatial tunnel, using the same spatial tunnel to follow the Nefarious Devil's group.
However, under the Heaven Devouring Baleful Qi, the spatial passage was directly devoured.
"Who are they?
Could they be from the Chi Group? "Bloodthirsty roared.
The evil spirit sneered and shook his head. "Of course not. Although the Chi Group is bold, they aren't stupid. These people are from the Cloud Province."
"The Cloud Province?
Yun Kuang's people?
That bastard!
What does he want to do? Why did he send people to follow you? "
"It's hard to say. Let's ignore them for now. I've already moved them away, so there's no need to pursue this matter. I asked you to stay because I can only trust you now. So, this matter must be done by you."
"Demon Sovereign, please tell me. What is it? I will do my best."
"Okay, help me stay on the island and look after this kid. We haven't even reached the island yet, but someone has been watching us. I'm afraid that while I'm not here, someone will harm this kid. Moreover, this kid has some things that the Chi Group wants but can't. Now that I've returned to the Devil World, the Chi Group will definitely know about it. With the Chi Group's style, they won't let this kid go. I can't let anything happen to him."
Hearing this, Bloodthirsty pondered for a while. Qin Shi could feel that the evil spirit was very unwilling, but in the end, he nodded and agreed. Qin Shi thought that this must be the tacit understanding between him and the evil spirit.
Bloodthirsty replied, "Demon Sovereign, don't worry. As long as I'm not dead, nothing will happen to this kid. I haven't fought with the Chi Group for tens of thousands of years. If they dare to come, I will settle the score with them!"
The evil spirit exhaled in relief and didn't talk more. He didn't need to arrange anything for Bloodthirsty. He just needed to do what he needed.
The rest of the journey was relatively quiet. The evil spirit didn't say anything. On the contrary, Bloodthirsty looked worried. Eventually, he hesitated for a while and then said, "Demon Sovereign, there's something I don't know if I should tell you or not."
"What can't you tell me?"
"About this kid … I think you know that Human and Demon have different paths. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to protect this kid like that. In the Demon World, it's a taboo. I think even if you can subdue the Demon Blood in his body, the Demon World won't be able to tolerate him. If you do this, you will have many enemies. You will even lose the overall situation," Bloodthirsty tried to probe.
Hearing that, the evil spirit forced a smile as if he had guessed that Bloodthirsty would say that. "I know, but I don't have a solution. The Human World can't tolerate this kid anymore. If I don't help him, I'm afraid he won't have a place to stay in this world. Let's take one step at a time. First, we will subdue his Demon Blood. As for the overall situation, I don't care about it anymore."
Bloodthirsty shook his head begrudgingly and didn't ask more.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. After staying in the blood-red space tunnel for three days, the evil spirit's group finally saw the end. When they got out of the space tunnel, the outside world was a vast blue sky and a blue sea. It was strangely beautiful. Qin Shi stayed in the evil spirit's embrace, overlooking the translucent blue sea and the protruding rocks. Sometimes, the waves hit the rocks and created beautiful waves. Schools of fish swam and flew. The beautiful scenery made Qin Shi feel relaxed and happy.
He couldn't help but feel a little distracted. All of a sudden, a petite figure flashed in his head. That figure's blue hair matched the sea very well. He remembered the promise he made with Qin Xue Xin to watch the sea together … Today, he saw it, but he didn't know where Qin Xue Xin was. Had she returned to the Blue Snow Sect? How was she feeling now?
Qin Shi clenched his fists. Suddenly, he felt an indescribable desire to live. This desire was the strongest he had felt in recent days.
He wanted … to fulfill his promise with that girl.
After leaving the bloody cave, at the end of the jade-green sea and blue sky, there was an isolated island covered in lush greenery, appearing somewhat desolate on the surface of the sea. At the center of the towering mountain range that was meandering like a dragon's spine, there was an extremely faint illusory figure. That illusory figure was akin to a mountain peak that towered into the clouds. Gigantic energy fluctuations radiated from the four corners of the mountain peak, causing the surface of the sea to continuously ripple in all directions. Qin Shi could clearly sense that there was an abnormally dense Spiritual Energy present within the mountain peak. The strength of the Spiritual Energy was even more terrifying than the Hundred Times Spirit Convergence Array. He guessed that this should be the Longevity Ridge.
The evil spirit looked at the illusory mountain valley and sighed. "It really is the Longevity Mountain Range. How familiar."
"The Longevity Mountain Range has just appeared and no one has discovered it yet. Otherwise, it would cause another storm in the Demon World. I wonder what kind of rare treasures will appear in the Longevity Mountain Range this time."
"That's not important. Let's send this brat into the Longevity Mountain Range first."
Bloodthirsty nodded his head in agreement. Without further ado, he turned around and said to Zhang Chen and the other two, "In a while, I will enter the Longevity Ridge together with the Bloodthirsty Demon Venerable. The three of you will seal this archipelago with an ominous aura and expose your blood aura. Tell the world that this place has been occupied by me, the Bloodthirsty Demon Venerable, and that no one can disturb us."
"Yes!" The three of them replied in unison. Shortly after, everyone leaped towards the island.
However … after they entered the island, a space that no one noticed suddenly shattered. The location was right next to the bloody hole they had just appeared in. A figure emerged from the crack in the space. The figure was very faint and translucent, giving off an illusory feeling. In fact, even if someone was next to him, they might not be able to detect him unless they were meditating and meditating.
The figure appeared and snorted disdainfully. "Hmph, the Heaven Devouring Demon Sovereign is only so-so. He only sensed the spatial fluctuations of those cannon fodders and didn't notice me. I really overestimated him."
At this time, a mass of chaotic ominous aura appeared behind the figure and a man in a blood-red robe appeared. If Qin Shi was here, he would definitely be alarmed. Wasn't the blood cloud embroidered on the blood-red robe the Puppet Group?
The person from the Puppet Group appeared next to the figure and sneered. "What a big tone. Even our master doesn't dare to look down on the Heaven Devouring Demon Sovereign in the Demon World!"
"Twelfth Hall Master?" Seeing the figure next to him, the young man was startled and quickly said respectfully, "Greetings, Twelfth Hall Master."
"Alright, stop pretending in front of me. Go back and tell your master that we've received his message. Just do as he said. Our Puppet Group will do our best to cooperate with him. Tell him not to worry."
The young man lowered his head and revealed a cunning expression. Then, he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Twelfth Hall Master!"
