After they dealt with the Blood Demon, the town finally returned to its original appearance, no longer shrouded in blood mist, but instead showing the desolation and ruin unique to those ravaged by war.

Without the concealment of the Blood Demon's aura, the ancient city was filled with resentment, which made Hua, who was always sensitive to resentment, feel extremely uncomfortable walking through it.

This is already like this on the outskirts of the battlefield. What must it have been like inside the battlefield of gods and demons back then?

"Huahua, you're finally back!"

"Sister Hua, if you don't come back soon, we're all planning to go looking for you!"

"Liao Liao, are you alright?"

As soon as they returned to the courtyard, everyone rushed over in a panic, asking about their situation.

"Liao and I were led into a secret realm by the Blood Demon, and it took us a while to resolve the situation."

Wan Ke nervously grabbed Hua's hand, checking her over as she asked, "Liao Liao, are you alright?"

Are you hurt anywhere?

Hua affectionately took Wan Ke's hand and led her inside, reassuring her as they walked, "Sister Wan Ke, don't worry, I'm fine, everything's resolved. But speaking of which, how long have we been gone?"

"Sister Huahua, you've been gone for a full ten days!"

After Qi Lian finished speaking, he exaggeratedly gestured with his hands. Seeing how lively and cute he was, Hua couldn't help but reach out to touch his head. Only when she reached out did she realize that the current Qi Lian was no longer the Qi Lian she knew. He was now more than a head taller than her.

Qi Lian noticed Hua's slight embarrassment and leaned closer to let her touch him. Hua's hand was halfway out when Chu Yu grabbed it and took it away, saying, "Alright, men and women shouldn't touch each other!"

"And you, Qilian, are much older than us. You should act like an elder, not only in your behavior but also in your words!"

"Don't let me hear those inappropriate names again!"

"Well..."

Chu Yu was indeed a master at ruining the atmosphere. What was originally a joyful gathering was instantly turned to freezing point because of Chu Yu's words.

The girl gently squeezed Chu Yu's hand, which was holding hers, and whispered, "Chu Yu, it's okay, we're all... friends..."

The sound gradually faded away under Chu Yu's gaze, and even the word "friend" could no longer be heard. Hua could only awkwardly change the subject, "Um, so much time has passed, and Chu Yu and I didn't even realize it...hehe."

I never knew that time in dreams was so different from time outside!

Ten thousand years inside is equivalent to one day in the outside world!

After confirming that everyone was alright, the group immediately set off for the ruins of the battlefield between gods and demons. They had already wasted a lot of time and had to hurry.

The closer they got to the ruins, the stronger the resentment became. The resentment even gradually absorbed their souls, and the deeper they went, the more spiritual energy they needed to fight against it.

None of them looked relaxed, but Tu Er and the others turned to look at Chu Yu and Hua, who were walking briskly ahead, and asked in surprise, "Chu Yu, how come you two seem to be completely fine?"

"Huh? What is it?"

Hua turned around and looked at Tu Er and Gu Xi, still quite puzzled, "What's wrong with you guys?"

Tu Er and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Gu Xi asked in confusion, "Hua Hua, don't you feel that these resentful spirits are like maggots clinging to your bones?"

Hua glanced at Chu Yu, then slowly shook her head. "No, I don't feel any discomfort. Chu Yu, what about you?"

"I'm fine."

That means they could sense it. The group was puzzled. Even Chu Yu, who had the highest cultivation level among them, could sense these resentful energies, but Hua seemed completely oblivious to them.

What's going on?
