Chapter 499 Incident (1/2)
Chapter 499 Incident (12)
A few days later, Yu Guihai returned to the Blood Demon Pass. Looking from afar, he saw a solemn scene inside the pass. He could vaguely see some collapsed buildings and traces of large areas of smoke and fire.
He was shocked. Could it be that the Blood Demon Pass had been attacked in the past few days?
Yu Guihai hurriedly flew to the fortress.
A disciple on the wall asked, and Yu Guihai showed his identity token. The disciple hurriedly opened a corner of the magic circle and let Yu Guihai in.
"What happened in the city?"
Yu Guihai asked expressionlessly.
"Report to the True Lord, starting from ten days ago, a large number of blood demon monsters suddenly emerged from the fortress. True Lord Leng Yue disappeared. The True Lords led their disciples to resist, but suffered heavy losses. They persisted for many days, but it seemed that they would not be able to hold on. The Blood Demon Pass Fortress, which had stood for a thousand years, was about to be destroyed by the blood demon monsters.
At this critical moment, fortunately, another True Lord from the sect arrived and saved the situation, leading everyone to kill the monsters. The new True Lord was really powerful, he..."
This disciple was still a chatterbox, chattering non-stop, like a storyteller.
"."
Yu Guihai had no time to pay attention to him, and turned around and flew to the battle hall.
As soon as he returned to the battle hall, True Lord Bishui, who had received the news, came to meet him.
"Master Yu Feng, you are back. I received your message and was about to rush there, but I didn't expect to see that the Blood Demon Pass was in trouble, so I didn't have time to find you. Fortunately, you returned safely."
True Lord Bishui explained sincerely.
"You don't have to do this, Master. Saving the Blood Demon Pass is a matter of great importance, and I have nothing to do."
Yu Guihai waved his hand casually, indicating that he didn't care.
Originally, he crushed Master Bishui's sound transmission talisman before entering the Blood Demon Secret Realm, just to be on the safe side. Later, the situation was under his control, and it didn't matter whether Master Bishui went or not.
"Thank you for your understanding, Master. Please." Master Bishui bowed and invited Yu Guihai into the Battle Hall.
After sitting down, Yu Guihai asked in surprise: "What is going on with this Blood Demon Pass?"
"Ten days ago, a large number of blood demon monsters suddenly appeared in the city. Master Lengyue disappeared, and the disciples of the Master were leaderless and caught off guard, suffering heavy losses. I received your sound transmission and was investigating other things. When I passed by here, the fortress was almost falling. That's why I had to help." Master Bishui shook his head and sighed.
"The fortress is protected by a magic array, so how could a large number of blood demon monsters pour in? There must be something fishy about this." Yu Guihai frowned and said.
"What the peak master said is right."
True Lord Bishui's face became solemn, and he told the story in detail.
"According to the subsequent investigation, these blood demon monsters all ran out from True Lord Leng Yue's cave and the residences of several of her trusted subordinates."
"And True Lord Leng Yue disappeared, and according to the investigation, her trusted subordinates were also contaminated and turned into blood demon monsters. So I guessed that True Lord Leng Yue had a big problem. After searching her cave, we found a lot of blood demon auras. Leng Yue may have fallen into a monster."
"However, a few days ago, the sect suddenly sent an urgent message saying that Leng Yue's soul stone was broken and she had fallen. I took the opportunity to report the matter of the Blood Demon Pass and the results of the investigation, and asked for help from the sect."
"So that's it, Leng Yue is indeed controlled by the Blood Demon King."
After listening, Yu Guihai pondered for a while and said.
He originally didn't plan to tell Leng Yue about it. After all, she was an old and powerful person, and he was just a newcomer. If there was no evidence, the sect might still be suspicious of him.
But now, since Leng Yue herself has been exposed, there is nothing to worry about. Not only will she not be suspected by the sect, but she will be rewarded.
"Oh? How do you know? Did you meet her?" Bishui Zhenjun said in surprise.
"Yes, when I went out this time, Leng Yue gave me an ancient fairy leather scroll about the legend of the Blood Demon King, saying that there is a place deep in the Blood Red Ridge where the ancient Blood Demon King was sealed. The traces of the Blood Demon King may be related to this place."
Yu Guihai nodded and replied.
"There is this matter?" Bishui Zhenjun looked surprised.
"Yes, I also suspected that this matter was false at first, but after I found this place, I found that there really was an ancient secret realm there. I decided to enter the secret realm to explore. Before entering, I sent you a message."
"I met Leng Yue in the secret realm. She took me all the way to the deepest part of the secret realm, the seal place of the ancient blood demon king. I found that the ancient blood demon king had fallen long ago, and the source of power left behind took advantage of the seal to decay and created a new blood demon king.
Leng Yue had been controlled by the blood demon king and wanted to kill me, but I used the remaining power of the ancient seal to kill the blood demon king first. Leng Yue also fell because of the soul involvement. After that, I came back."
Yu Guihai deleted and reduced his experience, telling it half-truthfully. There was no mention of the Soul-Purifying White Lotus, the Blood God Flower, and Bai Zihan.
"So that's it. You mean, the blood demon king really exists and was killed by you? Is there any evidence?" asked True Lord Bishui.
"Yes."
Yu Guihai reached out and took out a round ball, and saw a trace of strong bloody aura flowing in the ball.
"This is a trace of the Blood Demon King's aura, which I sealed and retrieved."
Bishui Zhenjun took it and examined it carefully, and immediately sensed the bloody and strange power, and it was stained with the aura of death, like a tree without roots.
He then said with a look of shock: "It is indeed a trace of the original power of the Blood Demon King. Yes, its body has indeed fallen."
Yu Guihai smiled and kept silent.
This trace of bloody breath is actually not the residual power of the Blood Demon King, but the bloody breath left by the sludge monster, which he extracted.
This bloody breath and the power of the Blood Demon King come from the same source, and it is generally impossible to distinguish. He used it as a token to kill the Blood Demon King in exchange for the sect's reward.
In fact, he only needs to take out the Demon Heart to complete the task, but the Demon Heart is precious and has great use for him. He is worried about causing unnecessary trouble. So he used the power of the sludge monster instead.
If someone really asks about the Demon Heart, he can also shirk that he destroyed the Demon Heart in order to completely kill the Blood Demon King.
"In that case, I will help you ask for credit from the sect. The reward for killing the Blood Demon King and the traitor Leng Yue Zhenjun is quite generous." Bishui Zhenjun smiled.
"Thank you very much, Zhenjun." Yu Guihai thanked. Then he reminded.
"Oh, there is one more thing. After I killed the Blood Demon King, the ancient secret realm also collapsed, the earth collapsed, and finally formed a blood lake. It is very similar to the blood lake described in the ancient leather scroll that leads to the blood sea.
I personally explored it, and the blood lake is very strange, emitting a bloody smell, with strong toxicity, and it is difficult to resist. I suspect that place will form a new monster invasion channel."
"If this happens, I will report it to the sect immediately." Bishui Zhenjun looked surprised.
"Yes." Yu Guihai nodded in agreement.
