Old Zhou recalled for a while before remembering some things: "I don't know the specifics, but according to legend, the first seal is for 'suppressing,' the second seal is for 'sealing,' and the third seal is for 'annihilating.'"
"The fourth seal governs 'burning,' the fifth seal governs 'purification,' the sixth seal governs 'driving,' the seventh seal governs 'crossing,' the eighth seal governs 'prohibition,' and the ninth seal governs 'extinction.'"
"Each Demon-Suppressing Seal contains a unique supernatural power. Only by combining them into one can their strongest power be unleashed."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded thoughtfully: "So, my Azure Jade Seal is for 'suppressing,' and Mo Bai's Golden Seal is for 'sealing.' Should we then follow these clues to find other Demon-Suppressing Seals?"
Old Zhou raised his head: "My guess is this: since the Demon-Suppressing Seals can resonate with each other, there must be some kind of connection between them. You can use this connection to find the whereabouts of the other seal holders."
Mo Bai pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. I was holding the golden seal before, but it didn't respond to the jade seal at all."
Everyone fell silent. The previous jade seal had obviously exhausted its energy when it was damaged, and was suppressed and covered up by the demon spirit using the array and blood pool. So, would the remaining seals be in a similar state?
Rong Jiaojiao suddenly thought of something and took out the small seal, saying, "Is it possible that the reason you were trapped in the Blood Pool Formation is because the formation, or rather the demonic spirit, sensed the arrival of the seal holder and therefore attacked the person carrying the small seal?"
Mo Bai's eyes flickered slightly: "That makes sense. There's another possibility: there might be other blood pools like this on the battlefield, just hidden away, secretly nurturing demonic seeds."
Li Li exclaimed with delight, "Perhaps we can find other small seals and Xuan Yin Jade Marrow!"
Old Zhou said, "The priority now is to recover. If some demonic spirits or something comes along, we'll have no choice but to run away."
Everyone laughed and immediately took out pills to recover.
An hour later, Rong Jiaojiao and Mo Bai were the first to recover.
Seeing that the two seniors were still recovering, Rong Jiaojiao immediately took out her talisman-drawing tools and began to draw talismans.
Purification talisman, Heavenly Thunder talisman, Vajra Defense talisman...
Mo Bai, however, was fiddling with various metal materials; it was unclear what he was up to.
More than an hour passed before the two seniors woke up.
Li Li forgot to report the conversation earlier, but as soon as he woke up, he quickly reported Xiao Yin's situation.
Not long after, I received only two words: "Wait!"
Rong Jiaojiao asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Li: "Perhaps someone from above will be sent over."
Mo Bai looked at Rong Jiaojiao and said, "Why don't we go to the battlefield and maybe we'll encounter a blood pool like that again!"
He was somewhat hopeful that if more blood pools were destroyed, would the main soul of the immortal mountain fall into slumber sooner?
This way, they can focus on finding the other small seals and collect all nine Demon-Suppressing Seals as soon as possible.
Rong Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded: "Okay!"
She turned to Li Li and Elder Zhou: "What do you two think? Is this alright?"
Li Li stood up: "Of course, eliminating one more demon spirit will lighten the pressure on the Immortal Mountain."
Old Zhou, his longsword hovering in the air, jumped up and said, "What else is there to say? Let's go!"
Zi Ling excitedly jumped onto Rong Jiaojiao's shoulder, her whole body crackling with lightning: "Master, I smell the scent of a demonic seed! There's something strange five miles to the east!"
The four of them immediately sped off in the direction indicated by Zi Ling.
Li Li found a skeleton puppet at the foot of a cliff. It was only at the Earth Master level. Li Li shattered it into pieces with a single sword strike. The demonic seed was swallowed by Zi Ling. Li Li also obtained an ancient spear.
After searching several more places, they found only one demon spirit at the peak of the Earth Master realm, which was quickly annihilated by them. Ling Mei was then taken into a small secret realm by Rong Jiaojiao.
Several hours later, Zi Ling pointed into the distance and said, "Master, I can sense a faint aura of a demonic seed over there."
Everyone rushed there immediately, but after several miles, Zi Ling still could not quite sense the presence of the demonic seed.
They all thought of a formation, exchanged glances, and sped up.
After passing through a scorched forest, a valley shrouded in blood-red mist suddenly appeared before us.
"Be careful!" Li Li stopped Rong Jiaojiao. "There are restrictions on the ground."
He gathered a golden light at his fingertips and gently touched the ground.
Instantly, countless crimson runes emerged from the soil, weaving together into a massive net.
Old Zhou snorted coldly: "A trick by the Blood Fiend Sect."
With a swipe of his longsword, sword energy surged like a rainbow, instantly creating a gap in the barrier.
As soon as the four stepped into the valley, the surrounding scenery changed abruptly.
The already dark sky instantly became even darker, and mournful howls echoed from within the blood mist.
"Illusion Array!" Li Li immediately summoned a bronze mirror, its surface emitting a clear light that dispersed some of the blood mist.
Old Zhou said, "If it weren't for the divine sense cultivation of the Celestial Master realm, I probably wouldn't have been able to discover the restrictions here. I don't know if it was the demon spirit or the Blood Fiend Sect who did this."
Zi Ling pointed her little paw at the valley ahead: "The aura of the demon seed is right there."
Following the directions, the group soon discovered a hidden cave.
The cave entrance was sealed by blood-red vines, on which hung several mummified corpses.
Zi Ling grinned, "Such a strong aura of bloodlust!"
The group entered the cave, where a huge pool of blood was filled with countless black-robed figures.
Rong Jiaojiao immediately started gagging, and Mo Bai quickly covered her mouth and pulled her behind the rock wall.
At this moment, Rong Jiaojiao was actually glad that she hadn't eaten anything since arriving at the ancient battlefield, otherwise she probably would have vomited bile.
Old Zhou and Li Li immediately concealed themselves, and the four of them held their breath and observed the situation inside the cave.
In the blood pool, dozens of men in black robes sat cross-legged, their bodies shrouded in a thick aura of bloodlust.
The pool water churned continuously, and countless white bones could be vaguely seen piled up at the bottom.
"They are performing a blood sacrifice ritual," Li Li transmitted his voice, his expression grave. "Judging from this, there are at least forty-nine people."
Zi Ling nestled against Rong Jiaojiao's shoulder, her tiny paws gripping her collar tightly: "Master, at the bottom of the pool...there's something at the bottom absorbing this blood energy..."
Rong Jiaojiao suppressed her nausea and quietly took out the small jade seal.
The seal was slightly warm at the moment, and the dragon pattern on its body shimmered with a faint light.
"The Demon-Suppressing Seal is reacting!" Her eyes lit up. "Could it be... they're suppressing the Lesser Seal?"
Mo Bai pressed her hand down and gently shook his head: "Don't act rashly. Look over there—"
Following his gaze, everyone saw a hunched old man standing on a high platform behind the blood pool.
The old man, holding a bone staff, was chanting obscure incantations.
Even more chilling was that three monks, chained together, were kneeling at his feet, each with a long, blood-red nail stuck between their eyebrows.
"They're human sacrifices!" Old Zhou's eyes burned with rage. "These evil cultivators truly deserve to die!"
Just then, the old man on the high platform suddenly stopped chanting and turned sharply towards the cave entrance: "Who dares to trespass into the Blood Fiend Holy Land?"
