Xiang Sheng was surprised by Yin Zhu's attitude.
How come this person acted like he wanted the mysterious woman to fail even more than she did?
As if seeing through Xiang Sheng's thoughts, Yin Zhui sneered and said, "The saints and saintesses of these ancient tribes are not good people. That Saintess Yingzhao looks down on us demons. She always beats and scolds us. If I wasn't afraid of death, I would have refused to serve her long ago."
At this point, Yin Zhu suddenly remembered what happened before and immediately said, "Quick! Go to Lengzhuhai! Saint Yingzhao has poisoned Si Wuli with the Heart-Breaking Poison. If we go too late, we'll all be doomed!"
Xiang Sheng's expression changed slightly, and he made a quick decision: "Si Yan, leave some people to watch over him and the Sky-peek Mirror, find out about the Broken Heart Poison, and notify Yuan Mo to go to Lengzhuhai immediately!"
After saying that, Xiang Sheng returned to the passage without looking back.
After Si Yan tied up Yin Zhu and the Sky-Viewing Mirror together, he followed closely.
"You guys are just leaving like that?!"
Yin Zhu's eyes widened. "I've said everything I need to say. Let me go! You don't keep your word!!"
The Yin Su's howling echoed in the underground space, but no one responded.
As soon as Xiang Sheng and Si Yan emerged from underground, Yuan Mo came up to them with a pale face, "Something terrible has happened to the master!"
Xiang Sheng ignored Yuan Mo and looked around seriously. He could indeed see that the bamboo forest was a little different from usual. There was a very light red mist in the air, but it was not noticeable unless one looked closely.
After calming down, Xiang Sheng asked calmly, "Explain clearly."
"The master heard what the underground dog demon said through Si Yan, but he was still a step too late."
Yuan Mo's face turned grim. "The Heart-Breaking Poison has contaminated the entire Bamboo Sea's underground. Before the master passed out, he activated the Divine Tree barrier and used the power of the Divine Tree to seal himself in, slowing the spread of the poison. Even I was driven out."
"You can't get in either?"
A flash of thought appeared in Xiang Sheng's eyes, and she immediately understood the purpose of the Holy Lady Yingzhao's deliberate use of her to bury the iron sheet.
At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from near the sacred tree in the distance.
Yuan Mo's expression changed drastically. "Saint Yingzhao is attacking the barrier! What should I do? I'm no match for Yingzhao."
Xiang Sheng's face darkened slightly. "Si Yan, did you find out?"
"He said so."
Si Yan's low voice was filled with panic. "The Broken Heart is an ancient poison, brought by the Saint Yingzhao specifically to target the Master. This poison... has no antidote."
Xiang Sheng was shocked, "Can't even solve the Xuantian Tree?"
Si Yan said in a low voice: "If the master planted the Xuantian tree in the heart sea, there might be a way, but the Xuantian tree roots were given by the clan. The master is afraid that someone has tampered with it, so he planted it outside."
"At the beginning, the master was forced by his clan to release his heart overseas to prove his true intentions. I knew that someone would use this flaw to deal with the master."
Yuan Mo gnashed his teeth, "Saint Yingzhao, she must want the master's ancestral blood, damn it!"
"Now is not the time to complain."
Xiang Sheng took a deep breath and said sternly, "Yuan Mo, even you can see that this is a flaw, how could he not? He must have left himself a way out."
After being scolded, Yuan Mo calmed down a lot and stared at Xiang Sheng blankly.
This stern yet shocked tone really resembles the master's.
"I see."
Si Yan suddenly said, "When the master opened the Heart Sea, he left a buffer zone. It connects to the Cold Bamboo Sea outside, and allows one to enter the innermost part of the master's Heart Sea."
After being reminded, Yuan Mo immediately remembered, his eyes shining, but soon his face turned pale and he shook his head, saying, "This won't work. That was a backdoor that the master opened for me back then. He casually set up four life barriers. I have to cultivate the "Ancestral Seal" to at least the fourth level before I have a chance to break through.
Si Yan and I are both from the demon clan, and neither of us has practiced the Ancestral Seal. How can we get in?"
"Ancestor's seal?"
When Xiang Sheng heard Yuan Mo's description, his eyes suddenly focused and he formed a spell, "But this seal?"
Yuan Mo's eyes suddenly widened.
Didn’t this spirit from heaven lose its memory? How come it still has the ancestral seal?
No, even if she still remembered the ancestral seal passed down to her by her master, not everyone can practice it. One has to go through the test of life and death before one can get started.
“This is indeed the ancestral seal.”
Si Yan replied as quickly as ever, "It's just the second level of the ancestral seal, which is far from enough."
"It's good as long as it's the ancestral seal."
Xiang Sheng glanced at the bamboo forest where the red mist was becoming increasingly dense, then sat down cross-legged on the spot, "You two, protect me!"
She said this, quickly put aside all distracting thoughts, put her hands together and formed a spell.
Yuan Mo watched and understood, and was shocked beyond words.
Is this to practice the third level of "Ancestral Seal" on the spot?
…
While Xiang Sheng was seizing the time to practice the "Ancestral Seal", outside the sacred tree barrier, Saint Yingzhao was almost going crazy with anger.
Si Wu Li's reaction was as quick as she expected. Without saying a word, he sealed himself with the sacred tree and opened the Xuantian barrier.
When she came over and saw it, she was overjoyed. Without saying a word, she cast a spell to detonate the forbidden blood buried under the sacred tree. It was a small piece of dirty blood left after the death of the forbidden person in ancient times.
Although it was only the size of a fingernail, its contaminating power was astonishing, enough to shake the sacred tree's barrier, allowing her to break it easily.
She had almost seen herself digging out Si Wu Li's ancestor's blood, but after detonating the blood, she only saw the white gauze dress that Xiang Sheng had placed under the tree turn pitch black. Apart from that, nothing happened.
Saint Yingzhao was stunned for three full breaths before she realized what had happened. She flew into a rage and frantically bombarded the sacred tree's barrier.
Unable to open the barrier of the sacred tree, she could only watch Si Wu Li die. After his death, the ancestral blood would also wither away.
