"You all stay here and wait for them to wake up. I'll go outside and see what's going on."

"I want to go too!"

"Liao Liao, we don't know what the situation is outside right now. It would be very dangerous for you to go out with us!"

"That's precisely why I'm going with you! Chu Yu, you know that the current situation isn't as dangerous for me; you need to be more careful than I am!"

Hua looked at Chu Yu stubbornly. She couldn't let Chu Yu go alone, and besides, she could help if anything happened.

Chu Yu also considered the special nature of the flowers, and after much hesitation, he decided, "Alright, then Liao Liao will come with me. Tu Er and Qi Lian, you two wait here for us to come back!"

"Okay, don't worry!"

"Alright, did you bring the executioner?"

Hua pulled her sleeve up a little, revealing the bracelet on her wrist. "I always wear it."

He swayed a couple of times as he spoke.

"Now I'm relieved. Let's go."

As soon as they left the magic array, those things stuck to them immediately. Chu Yu and Hua worked together seamlessly, one with a sword and the other with a zither, and quickly cleared a path.

The two followed the trail deeper and deeper until they came across a magnificent temple!

Everything suddenly lit up: green hills and clear waters, birdsong and fragrant flowers, and a temple with burning incense—it all looked eerie.

"Chu Yu".

"Okay, be careful."

The sudden appearance of the temple made Chu Yuhe frown deeply; something was definitely amiss!

Moreover, just moments ago they were chasing the Blood Demon, but in the blink of an eye, the Blood Demon's aura vanished completely, and instead, a thriving temple appeared out of nowhere.

Chu Yu dared not be careless at all and immediately used the "Never Leave" technique, so that even if something happened, Liao Liao would be by his side.

"Alright, let's go see what kind of deity is enshrined inside!"

The two strolled leisurely up the steps. When they reached the door, they looked up at the plaque above. Chu Yu sneered, "These days, even monsters dare to pretend to be gods and Buddhas!"

As soon as they stepped inside, they felt a strong sense of Buddhist nature, but unfortunately, it was all fake!

No matter how convincingly it's disguised, it can't change the bloody nature of it!

"Who comes here? What do you want?"

The sudden sound drew their attention, and the two of them stared at the enormous Buddha statue in front of them.

It's truly a hodgepodge, a complete mishmash!

"Don't you know you're not convincing at all?"

"What kind of Bodhisattva looks like this? The blood and qi between your brows haven't even dissipated yet!"

It only took a moment to expose the true nature of that fake bodhisattva.

But ironically, it became addicted to pretending.

"Where did this arrogant brat come from, daring to speak so rudely!"

"Pfft!"

This demon dressed in human skin looks so fake!

"Tell me, why did you lead us here?"

Hua smiled and continued, "You're not trying to convert us, are you?"

"So unruly and insolent, I shall teach you a lesson!"

The giant Buddha's hand pressed down on them, but the two nimbly dodged it. Even after several attempts, the fake Buddha couldn't gain the slightest advantage.

"So this is all you've got?"

"It seems to be nothing special!"

The flower's tone immediately provoked the Buddha statue to the point that it could no longer contain itself, instantly transforming into a huge ball of red blood energy. This one was clearly different from the previous unconscious blood demons; this one could truly be called a blood demon!

While the Blood Demon was sizing them up, Hua, whose Broken Illusion Harp was already prepared, provoked it with words, raising an eyebrow and "kindly" asking, "What? Not pretending anymore? Weren't you quite fond of pretending just now?"

"Or are you just angry and embarrassed?"

Hua's face darkened instantly. "So you've finally realized that you're just a dirty, shameful thing?"

Before the conversation had even ended, the door slammed shut with a "bang," and the hall was completely filled with dark red blood energy!

For a moment, it was difficult to discern the true nature of the object!

"That's it!"

"clear!"

Hua sat on the ground, her slender fingers slowly plucking the strings of the zither, completely immersed in the music, undisturbed. Chu Yu's Compassionate Sword blocked all the attacks for her, and the two cooperated perfectly.

At first, the two sides were evenly matched, but as time went on, Chu Yu gradually could not hold on.

This thing is really troublesome; it takes qi as its essence and is practically all-pervasive!

Fine wounds gradually appeared on Chu Yu's body, and the blood emanating from the wounds caused a stir throughout the entire hall.

"How dare you disrespect me! As a small punishment, you shall remain here forever!"

Chu Yujin's white robe was instantly pierced by a deep, bone-revealing wound. What was more troublesome was that these wounds, exposed to the air and in contact with the blood and qi, were extremely difficult to heal, and the spiritual energy in his body was also rapidly draining away.

"puff!"

"That's it!"

The Broken Illusion Zither had little effect on suppressing this thing. As Chu Yu was injured, the blood energy took advantage of the gap and attacked Hua. Hua was unable to avoid it. Even though she had a lot of treasures protecting her, although it was not fatal, she was still seriously injured!

The blood dripped onto the Broken Illusion Zither, but neither Hua nor Chu Yu noticed. The Broken Illusion Zither, made of divine wood, shone even brighter!

The Broken Illusion Zither is no longer of much use. He put it away, stood up, and said, "Chu Yu, you know my..."

"Liao Liao, we've said it before, unless it's a matter of life and death, never do that!"

However, the current situation is not optimistic, but judging from Chu Yu's expression, Hua did not continue speaking.
