His affairs within the Yin Soul Bureau were completely finished—no one could rescue him anymore!
This isn't a laughing matter; the Yin Soul Bureau's punishment would be utterly intolerable for him. Should he go back now, the most favorable result would be transformation into a Ghost Soldier.
…
Meanwhile, beyond the ruined Blood Pool cavern, Liu Zai Xian—the Foundation Establishment Ancestor from the Qingli Dynasty's Liu family—furrowed his brows tightly while detecting Evil Qi and Blood Evil Qi emerging from the mountain's depths.
The Liu family ranks among the six Immortal Cultivation Families of the Qingli Dynasty, and Lotus Heart Valley serves as a shared workshop set up by these families, where they rotate Foundation Establishment Cultivators for duty.
For the last decade, Liu Zai Xian had handled the posting at the Lotus Heart Valley workshop.
The unfolding events left Liu Zai Xian deeply uneasy, as though a malevolent force lurked under the mountain, with Evil Qi at a level he had never before witnessed.
“How come Evil Qi and Blood Evil Qi are so thick around Lotus Heart Valley?”
Liu Zai Xian remained baffled.
One key reason the six Qingli Families selected Lotus Heart Valley for their workshop was its nearness to the Yunxiao Mountain Range, providing easy reach to abundant resources; another was the presence of a second-order lower-grade Spirit Vein for numerous cultivators to use in practice.
In theory, a location with a Spirit Vein shouldn't harbor Evil Qi, much less Blood Evil Qi.
Nevertheless, this foreboding Evil Qi had now surfaced close to Lotus Heart Valley, defying all logic.
After careful consideration, Liu Zai Xian resolved to clear away the fallen slope for a closer look.
“All of you, excavate everything for me!”
He commanded.
A group of cultivators then started shifting the tumbled stones.
Unlike mortals who rely on tools to shatter and haul rocks, Earth Attribute Cultivators merely stepped forward and cast the Mountain Shifting Skill, rapidly relocating massive rock sections far away.
Before long, viscous blood plasma emerged into view, with ominous Qi steadily diffusing outward.
Terror etched across the faces of those nearby, prompting them to fall back, as if the blood plasma embodied pure horror.
And truly, this blood plasma was profoundly alarming.
Should an ordinary individual touch it, they'd immediately devolve into a soulless blood zombie. For a Qi Refinement Cultivator making contact, results varied by their cultivation strength and possession of a Magic Barrier; with the barrier active, no instant harm occurred, but without it, they'd likewise become a blood zombie.
Liu Zai Xian's face shifted through various shades as he stared at the dense blood plasma.
Evil Qi alone might suggest natural causes, yet this blood plasma screamed artificial origin.
Furthermore, it appeared freshly made, not some ancient remnant.
He scrutinized the scene under the debris and extended his spiritual sense to track shifts in the surrounding Qi flows, his expression turning graver by the moment.
“Array formations? A Blood Pool?”
“Who could have done this?”
Though the full picture eluded him, he detected the rune array inscribed below the rocks, coupled with the enormous volume of coagulated blood plasma.
Evidently, someone had conducted activities here, only for them to fail spectacularly somehow.
This realization heightened Liu Zai Xian's caution; he scanned the area sharply and broadened his spiritual sense to probe every inch nearby.
Nothing unusual turned up, however. After some reflection, he ignited multiple Communication Talismans.
These second-order Communication Talismans could relay messages across a thousand miles.
As Lotus Heart Valley was a collaborative workshop of the six Qingli Families, any issues demanded a united response.
Uncertain about the implications of the array formation and Blood Pool, Liu Zai Xian felt this incident was far from minor and might conceal grave threats, prompting him to summon reinforcements.
