Everyone was puzzled, wondering how someone could bring a child along at such a critical moment.

Nangong Ling'er, however, agreed without hesitation, "I need someone to help me out, so take them along!"

Bai Yao, standing to the side, was flattered. Although she was unaware of the dangers of this trip, she felt guilty towards her master and was happy to stay by Xiao Yuhan's side to take care of him.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded: "Placing the female lead in danger, the host is awarded 2000 points based on the level of danger, which is consistent with the villain's character setting."

"Holy crap!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan had a flash of inspiration and immediately thought of a solution. Indeed, the protagonist never dies, which is an ironclad rule in most novels. As long as he puts Bai Yao in danger time and time again, he can gain points. If he can't kill Senior Brother Liu and can only lose 10,000 points, there is still room for redemption.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuhan felt a renewed sense of hope. Wasn't this just exploiting a bug?

With the 2,000 points awarded earlier, Xiao Yuhan now has 6,000 points left. As long as she finds some opportunities to farm points on her way to the Blood King's Cave, there won't be any problem. Thinking of this, Xiao Yuhan finally felt much more at ease.

At this moment, Ye Qingyun spoke up, "There's no time to lose, let's set off immediately! Junior Brother's poisoning is urgent, we need to find the antidote as soon as possible! If there's any emergency, immediately crush the sect's communication talisman to notify me!"

Without any delay, the group set off immediately.

They prepared a horse-drawn carriage, and the four of them headed south.

Blood King Cave was once the headquarters of the Blood God Cult. This evil cult, which once wreaked havoc in all directions, was enough to make all the immortal sects in the world tremble with fear in its early years. Fortunately, a great war a hundred years ago saw the righteous alliance led by the Heavenly Sword Sect launch a major invasion into the Southern Wilderness and destroy the Blood God Cult.

That sect was called a cult because their signature technique involved blood. They would absorb the blood and energy of others to enhance their strength and heal their own injuries. Every year, they would capture fifty young boys and girls, slit their veins, and throw them into a blood pool to sacrifice to a blood god that was artificially created.

Today, that sect has become active again. Xiao Yuhan, who has read the novel, knows that it was all Long Tu's conspiracy. Now, thinking about it, if the black-clad masked man who attacked Bai Yao on the mountain in the original work was Long Tu, then his target should not be Bai Yao, but Ye Jiantang.

Because he was determined to avenge his father, and most importantly, he had his eye on Liu Jiantang's unparalleled sword embryo, which he had cultivated over many years of sword practice.

The Blood God Cult has a technique called the "Blood King Scripture," which was originally a method of healing and saving lives passed down by an ancient medical sage. However, in the hands of these people, it has become a method of killing, and they have even developed a kind of human gu called the Blood Corpse.

According to the original work, Liu Jiantang has cultivated the way of the sword for many years. In terms of sword comprehension alone, he can be called the number one person in the world. If he were really refined into a blood corpse, then there is no doubt that even the sect leader would not be his match.

Therefore, Xiao Yuhan was filled with anxiety as he traveled. He couldn't guess how many traps Long Tu had prepared for them to fall into. The main reason was that the idiotic author had always told the story from the protagonist's perspective, and the plot of Ye Jiantang's confrontation with Long Tu was only briefly mentioned.

Moreover, Xiao Yuhan was only focused on the main character at that time, so even if it was described, she probably wouldn't remember it very clearly.

Half a month later, the group of four entered the border of Nanzhou. Fortunately, Nangong Ling'er accompanied them and was able to suppress the toxins in Xiao Yuhan's body at all times, otherwise Xiao Yuhan would have been dead long ago.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Southern Wilderness have been the most mysterious place since ancient times. There are countless demons, monsters, and evil spirits here. Monsters and vengeful spirits are everywhere. Occasionally, you might see a living person, but they might be a ruthless old monster who kills without blinking an eye.

There are many different schools of cultivation in this place, and they are all very mysterious. There are all sorts of strange schools, such as witchcraft, sorcery, and spirit mediumship. So the group kept a low profile throughout their journey. Even though the three of them were already powerful enough to roam freely in the Central Plains, they still dared not be too ostentatious here.

The largest sect in the Southern Wilderness today is the Five Immortals Sect. They are a Miao sect that rose rapidly after the Blood God Sect. They have never interacted with the Central Plains. Their members are both righteous and evil, and they act independently, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
