"I can track the Seven Illusion Demonic Immortal." This single sentence from Tie Mianshen instantly relaxed Wu Yong's furrowed brows.
It turned out that ever since the Tie Family captured the current generation's Seven Illusion Demonic Immortal, they had already begun making preparations against the Seven Illusion True Inheritance.
Among the many Southern Border-level families, the Tie Family was undoubtedly the force that struck the harshest against the Demonic Path. Especially after the establishment of the Tie Family Demon Suppression Tower, the Tie Family had risen to become a pillar of the Righteous Path in hunting down Demonic Path Gu Immortals.
Without delay, Tie Mianshen activated his Immortal Killer Move to investigate the traces on the scene.
"This way!" After determining the direction, Tie Mianshen immediately flew eastward at great speed.
Wu Yong and Qiao Zhicai exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.
The trail came and went intermittently, but under the experienced tracking of Tie Mianshen, the three immortals made excellent progress.
Half an hour later, they arrived once again at the Blood Tide Heavenly Pit.
Qiao Zhicai was astonished: "How did we end up back here?"
Tie Mianshen let out a cold laugh: "The most dangerous place is the safest place, after all..."
Qiao Zhicai realized what he meant and couldn't help but silently admire: "What boldness."
Wu Yong's gaze swept across the area, cold light radiating from his eyes. After a few breaths, his gaze locked onto the depths of the Blood Tide Heavenly Pit.
ROAR!
The originally calm surface of the blood tide suddenly surged violently, and countless blood beasts burst forth from within.
A massive number of Desolate-level blood beasts, interspersed with a smaller number of Ancient blood beasts, numbering in the hundreds and thousands, fierce and terrifying, lunged toward Wu Yong and the other two immortals.
Blood beasts were a type of Path Beast.
They were not born through reproduction, but rather formed naturally, condensed by Blood Path Dao Marks.
Similar to blood beasts were Snow Monsters, Mud Monsters, Cloud Beasts, Soul Beasts, Year Beasts, and Stone Dragons.
"The Blood Tide Heavenly Pit holds such mysteries? It's a breeding ground for blood beasts?" Tie Mianshen murmured in a deep voice, looking toward Wu Yong.
Wu Yong also showed a faint look of surprise.
The Blood Tide Heavenly Pit contained one of the true inheritances of Blood Sea Ancestor, which had been obtained by a mortal Gu Master named Shang Yanfei. Later, the Wu Family took it over. After incorporating the Blood Tide Heavenly Pit into their territory, the Wu Family had explored it before and never discovered anything unusual. In the years that followed, they had simply treated it as an ordinary resource point.
"With so many blood beasts lying in ambush, no wonder the Seven Illusion Demonic Immortal hid here." Qiao Zhicai suddenly understood.
The blood beasts formed a massive army, surging forward. Their appearances were bizarre and varied — some had tiger heads and horse bodies, some had snake bodies and rabbit heads, some had turtle backs and dragon tails, and some resembled great trees bearing fruit shaped like monkey heads...
The putrid stench of blood assailed their nostrils, and their ears were filled with the blood beasts' savage roars, grotesque and terrifying.
Such a force, erupting without warning, could catch even a major family off guard.
However, neither Qiao Zhicai nor Tie Mianshen changed expression, showing no intention of retreating.
Because at this moment, Wu Yong had already stepped forward to stand before them both.
"A bunch of trash." Wu Yong snorted coldly, anger flickering in his eyes.
He was furious.
In recent times, he had been stationed at the Wu Family, commanding troops, blocking from left and right, barely managing — already feeling incredibly stifled. Now this Seven Illusion Demonic Immortal had appeared with sinister intentions and treacherous plots, even killing two Wu Family Gu Immortals, Wu Yuanju and Rong Hao!
A wisp of gentle breeze began to brew around him.
The emerald breeze, imperceptibly, also began to circulate among the charging and howling blood beasts.
The blood beasts continued to surge forward, their charging speed not diminished in the slightest.
Just as they were about to reach the three immortals, suddenly, blood beasts began to self-destruct!
This self-destruction was not like a thunderclap, but rather extremely gentle, as if soap bubbles were popping one after another.
Blood beasts self-destructed one after another, right before the three immortals' eyes, yet they possessed no destructive power at all, unable to harm a single hair on the three immortals.
The previous roaring and charging now seemed like a joke.
Hundreds of Sixth Transformation combat-level forces, dozens of Seventh Transformation combat-level forces, crumbled and disintegrated before Wu Yong, fragile as if they were toys made of paper.
This was the might of an Eighth Transformation!
"What kind of Immortal Killer Move is this... its aura is concealed to the extreme, completely undetectable!" Qiao Zhicai's face was filled with shock.
Tie Mianshen's gaze was deep and profound as he watched Wu Yong's back.
Wu Yong's face was as calm as still water, his gaze tightly locked on the blood tide below.
The formation of the blood beasts had not been without cost — the blood tide had dried up. The blood tide that had once nearly overflowed from the heavenly pit was now completely drained to the bottom.
Qiao Zhicai sighed, secretly lamenting. He sensed that the once-dense Blood Path Dao Marks had actually dissipated into nothing. From this point on, the Blood Tide Heavenly Pit no longer existed, leaving behind only the most ordinary heavenly pit terrain.
Wu Yong paid no heed to any of this.
To ordinary people, the bottomless heavenly pit was impenetrable, but in his detection, it was laid bare before him.
A figure cloaked in seven-colored mysterious light appeared within Wu Yong's detection range.
"So you're the one audacious enough to challenge the Wu Family's dignity." Wu Yong spoke lightly, but anyone could hear the fury and killing intent in his tone.
The mysterious Gu Immortal stationed at the bottom of the heavenly pit smiled bitterly: "Lord Wu Yong, I was forced into this with no other choice. Next... I ask your forgiveness for the offense!"
"Hmm?" Wu Yong's expression shifted slightly.
The next instant, the environment around him underwent a drastic transformation!
The previously azure sky and mountainous terrain had all vanished. In every direction — above, below, left, and right — everything had turned into a purple-red hue.
The three immortals could not tell near from far; their sense of spatial distance was severely disrupted here.
Crash, crash, crash...
The sound of waves filled their ears. The remnants of the blood beasts they had just defeated had all turned into blood water, condensing into a great river that flowed ceaselessly beneath the three immortals.
At the tips of the blood-colored waves, blood-colored spray blossomed. Countless purple thoughts, like a torrential rain, came sweeping toward the three immortals.
