"You can talk now."
Xiang Sheng suddenly spoke, but Lu Zhu was not frightened. Instead, he felt as if he heard a heavenly sound, and his whole body softened and relaxed.
After panting twice, Lu Zhu said sullenly, “Sister Shen, please leave the city now.”
Xiang Sheng glanced at him and said, "The Blazing Flame Sect has committed such a shameful act that goes against the righteous path. If you were Shu Gaoming, would you allow the wandering cultivators hiding in the city to escape and spread the news?"
Lu Zhu was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned grim. "The way down the mountain is blocked? Even if I can make it out of the ancestral land alive, won't I still be caught by them in the end?"
Xiang Sheng remained silent.
This secret room is extremely well hidden, and even the consciousness of a Jindan stage cultivator cannot sense it. She originally wanted to hide here and wait until it rains to practice the "Breath Concealment Technique", find ways to improve her cultivation, and then try to leave the city.
But now...
Xiang Sheng looked up at the ray of light coming through the gap above his head, his eyes dim.
That was the gap created by the explosion of the blood sacrifice formation.
With this gap, the secret room can no longer be isolated from spiritual detection.
If Shu Gaoming and others had not been in a hurry to leave and enter the ancestral land and had not entered the inner room, she and Lu Zhu might have died just now.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng took a deep breath and asked, "Lv Zhu, how much do you know about the ancestral land?"
Lu Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sister, have you changed your mind?"
"Do I have any way out?"
Xiang Sheng sighed softly, "Instead of waiting to die in the city, it's better to go in and fight for the unknown."
"Very good!"
Lu Zhu was overjoyed. Although he knew that Xiang Sheng's cultivation level was not much different from his, he felt inexplicably relieved when he could go in with her.
"I don't know what the ancestral land is like, but...this is for you."
Lu Zhu took out a blood-colored emblem from his storage ring and handed it to Xiang Sheng. "This is a bloodline emblem I made. It was originally intended for Chief Steward Lin. With this item protecting you, you should be much safer in your ancestral land."
Xiang Sheng nodded, took it, kept it close to his body, then opened the secret room mechanism and left with Lu Zhu.
…
The ancient streets were deserted and filled with the sound of wind. Blood was splattered everywhere, as well as corpses killed by formations.
Xiang Sheng and Lu Zhu hurried on their way and soon arrived near the North City. From afar, they saw the entrance to the ancestral land wide open, and there were many corpse puppets wandering aimlessly nearby.
Xiang Sheng hid in the ruins and observed for a moment, then picked up a handful of stones on the ground and threw them away.
Snap! Snap!
The stones collided with each other, making a crisp sound. Some of the corpse puppets heard it and immediately left the area around the entrance and followed the sound. However, after a while, they returned to their original position, with no space left to pass through.
Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes, picked up another handful of stones, looked at Lu Zhu, and whispered softly.
"Three breaths."
Lu Zhu nodded nervously, then grabbed a handful of stones and threw them at Sheng while trying his best to throw them in the opposite direction.
The moment the stone was thrown, Xiang Sheng did not hesitate at all. He jumped out with Lu Zhu and rushed towards the entrance of the ancestral land at the fastest speed in his life.
The crisp sound of collision and the sound of the figure breaking through the air sounded almost at the same time. The mentally retarded corpse puppet seemed to be in a dilemma at this moment. It was stuck for nearly a moment before swarming towards the two of them.
But even with a little more time, Xiang Sheng and the others were still a long distance away from the entrance to the ancestral land.
Seeing that the corpse puppet was about to catch up with him with its fangs bared, Lu Zhu's heart almost jumped into his throat and his mind went blank.
Xiang Sheng, however, was much calmer. She reached out to touch her storage ring and threw a handful of ordinary talismans to bombard the corpse puppet, while shouting loudly, "Return to your senses!"
The corpse puppet was bombarded but was unharmed, but its body paused for a moment.
Lu Zhu was brought back to his senses by Xiang Sheng's scolding. He suddenly shuddered and threw whatever he took out from the storage ring into the pile of corpse puppets as soon as it was activated.
The third item he threw, which was an unknown magic weapon, exploded with a loud bang, scattering the corpse puppets.
Xiang Sheng's pupils condensed instantly. He grabbed Lu Zhu's shoulders and flew far away with the help of the shock wave of the explosion, and fell directly in front of the entrance to the ancestral land.
"roar!!"
The corpse puppets were blown to pieces and suddenly went into a frenzy, attacking at an even faster speed.
Without time to think, Xiang Sheng stood up and kicked the drowsy Lu Zhu into the entrance of the vortex. Before he could enter, a strong wind suddenly came from behind, and a strong stench of corpse rushed into his nose. The corpse puppet was very close!
In the split second between life and death, Xiang Sheng's pupils suddenly shrank. Before his thoughts could become clear, his body had already reacted. He suddenly turned around, and a white light flashed in his hand, blocking his chest.
boom!
The sharp black claws slapped the white blade, and the bone knife shattered.
Xiang Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood and disappeared into the whirlpool.
