"Chu Huanyu, Song Yunfei."
"Do you still think that Chu Feng was lying to you—that he was only stopping you because he didn't dare to go in himself?"
Suddenly, a pleasant voice rang out.
However, upon reaching the ears of Chu Huanyu, Song Yunfei, and the others, the voice was far from pleasant.
After all, it was dripping with sarcasm.
And the person speaking was none other than the supremely positioned Chu Lingxi.
"Hmph, the difficulty of the Blood Mist is plain for all to see. There was no need for him to remind us."
"Sure, we failed to obtain the Immortal Armament, but at least we went inside. At the very least, we had the courage to do that. But what about that Chu Feng?"
Chu Huanyu said mockingly.
Even though he had personally experienced the terror of the Blood Mist, he still refused to believe that Chu Feng's warning had been all that important.
Whoosh— And just then, the unconscious juniors, under the treatment of the various experts, began to regain consciousness one after another.
After waking, their faces were all filled with lingering fear. Having personally experienced such an illusion, there was simply no way they could remain calm.
"Where are Chu Zhong and Chu Ban?"
Suddenly, a junior of the Chu Heavenly Clan asked.
He clearly remembered that those two had entered the Blood Mist alongside him. How come he couldn't see them now?
"Yeah, where are Chu Zhong and Chu Ban?"
"Huh, some of my Starfall Holy Land disciples are missing too."
Soon, others also noticed that a few figures were gone from their group.
"They're dead," someone said.
"What?! Dead?!"
Those words sent a shock through everyone—not just the others, but even Chu Ruoshi, Ren Xiaoyao, Song Yunfei, and Chu Huanyu himself all had their expressions change.
Only now did they truly realize that they had brushed past death itself.
Looking up at the Blood Mist overhead once more, even their eyes were filled with a trace of lingering fear.
Hummm— And just then, the Illusory Dream Blood Lotus began to close.
This time, just as before, the blooming Illusory Dream Blood Lotus folded inward.
However, the Blood Mist did not dissipate, nor was there the slightest sign of it weakening.
Before long, the Illusory Dream Blood Lotus bloomed once more, and this time, the density of the Blood Mist had risen yet again.
The aura of danger was pressing in on them now, and every person present could feel the sheer terror of the Blood Mist.
But at this moment, no one could spare a thought for the increasingly dangerous Blood Mist.
Right now, everyone's gaze was deeply drawn to the center of the Illusory Dream Blood Lotus.
The treasure there had changed. The peerless Immortal Armament from before had vanished, and in its place now sat a short sword.
The short sword was entirely black, roughly three chi in length.
At first glance, there was nothing particularly special about it—among Immortal Armaments, it could even be considered mediocre.
However, engraved upon this short sword were three characters, and those three characters drew the gaze of everyone present.
Chu Hanxian!!!
Engraved upon the black short sword were the characters Chu Hanxian.
