Blood pact communication doesn't mean the message is sent with blood; rather, it means that only a designated person can open the message using a blood pact. Otherwise, the message content will be destroyed the moment it is opened.
This method of communication is widely used by cultivators to transmit secret messages. It is very safe as it can only be activated by the individual in question, and it is useless no matter how high one's cultivation level is.
Si Youfeng's use of this method to send messages clearly indicates that she has discovered some secret.
Liu Yunqing put away the communication talisman without opening it to check it on the spot. Instead, he went into the cultivation room and entered the Golden Crow Space before opening the communication talisman.
"The calamity of heretical cultivators is beginning to unfold; within three months, the red moon will show signs of change."
There really are evil cultivators within the Tai Xuan Sect.
Judging from Si Youfeng's message, which did not mention any senior, only the time and place, it seemed that he was told to make the trip himself.
Thinking of that incomparably powerful old man, Liu Yunqing frowned, hoping that he wouldn't go all out to kill her.
Seeing the message in his hand burn out, Liu Yunqing still decided to make the trip.
After checking the location of Red Moon City, she forced herself not to think about the old man and focused on meditation and cultivation.
The path to immortality, though long, is also fascinating.
Having abandoned all distractions and immersed themselves in cultivation, the two naturally forgot about the old man.
But the old man did not forget about them as they wished.
The bad news is that the old man is more interested in and curious about Liu Yunqing.
The good news is that, whether the old man was intimidated by the force that repelled him or had some concerns, he did not immediately search for Liu Yunqing.
"Just who is that little child? Not only can she drink nine jugs of Reincarnation Wine, but I can't even see her dreams?"
"Who exactly is this person...?"
The old man muttered to himself, racking his brains, but when he suddenly thought of something, he was jolted awake and began to tremble with excitement.
"It can't be, it can't be..."
The old man didn't say what it was, but with a flick of his sword finger, a clone exactly like himself appeared before him.
In the blink of an eye, the clone transformed from an old man with white hair and beard into a handsome young man.
The young man opened his arms, looked himself over, nodded with satisfaction, and then calmly said to the old man:
"Alright, then I'll go."
Before the old man could nod, the young man's figure had already vanished into thin air like ripples on water.
...
"You're going to Red Moon City? I'll go with you!"
In Liu Yunqing's cave in Luoxia City, when True Person Mingxin heard Liu Yunqing's words, he immediately stood up to express his opinion.
Liu Yunqing quickly waved his hand and said:
"I have some personal matters to attend to. I just wanted to let you know. If you are comfortable staying here, you can continue to stay in my cave. After I finish my business, I will come back and invite you to join me on my training."
Mingxin Zhenren was still wary of the old man, and seeing that Liu Yunqing had just recovered and was about to go out again, she was not at ease.
“I’m free anyway, so I’ll go to Red Moon City with you. Once we get there, you can take care of your personal matters. After that, we can set off directly from Red Moon City to continue our training.”
Since the other party had put it that way, Liu Yunqing didn't refuse anymore.
She originally planned to wait in Luoxia City for Chunyu Changfeng, or for Wuchen's reply, before going out.
Chunyu Changfeng had disappeared without a trace, and Wuchen had not replied either. The three-month deadline mentioned by Si Youfeng was drawing ever closer, and Liu Yunqing had no choice but to set off.
It can only be said that fate has its own plan.
The day after Liu Yunqing and his companion left Luoxia City, a young and handsome male cultivator with deep eyes stepped into the city.
"Speaking of which, I've never been to Red Moon City before. I've heard that the annual Red Moon spectacle is quite grand, so this is a good opportunity to witness it."
On the flying boat, Liu Yunqing and his companion were studying the map of Red Moon City. Master Mingxin pointed his long finger at Red Moon City and looked at the strange yet beautiful red moon, saying with great interest.
Red Moon City is a desert city.
Not belonging to any faction makes it a good place for evil practitioners to thrive.
Watching the crimson moon gradually fade away, Liu Yunqing nodded and said:
"Besides the Red Moon spectacle, I've heard that the Red Moon City's arena is also very famous, which should be a place that you sword cultivators like."
Sword cultivators are warlike, and this lawless place is indeed a good place for them to fight freely.
Compared to other cities and regions in the cultivation world with relatively strict laws and relatively peaceful public order, Red Moon City is truly a place where might makes right.
Therefore, although Red Moon City is located in the desert, people come and go in an endless stream.
The two piloted their flying boat, traveling non-stop from Sunset City to Red Moon City, which would take about two months.
The two had no intention of resting along the way and kept a low profile while traveling, so their journey was relatively smooth.
This smooth sailing began to be disrupted when Red Moon City was only three to five days away.
The cultivators within this area are mostly heading towards Red Moon City, which also indicates that these cultivators are not exactly benevolent, naturally leading to more and more conflicts.
Liu Yunqing and his companion were sitting in the flying boat, and they could hear the sounds of fighting coming from several places at the same time from time to time.
Even though the two of them had transformed their robes into the most understated and simple gray Taoist robes in an attempt to keep a low profile, and the flying boat was also disguised, people still came to provoke them from time to time.
During the first month or so of the journey, the two fought a handful of times, but in the last three to five days of the journey, they fought so many times that they couldn't be counted on both hands.
Fortunately, the two were both very strong, worked well together, and never caused trouble, so they managed to reach Red Moon City smoothly.
...
The two stood outside Red Moon City, gazing at the endless expanse of yellow sand.
Red Moon City, on the other hand, stands like an ancient and powerful castle amidst the unchanging scenery, like a jewel set in a giant piece of gold.
The way to enter Red Moon City is also different from other cities.
In other cities, you can get a temporary identity token by paying spirit stones.
To enter Red Moon City, no spirit stones are required, but each person needs to pay thirty corpses of Singing Sand Scorpions.
That's not difficult to understand. The Singing Sand Scorpion is a unique monster in this desert, and it's no exaggeration to say that it's rampant at night.
The only downside is that Liu Yunqing and his companion cannot enter the city today. They must wait until the Sand Scorpions appear at night and hunt them down before they can enter the city the following day.
Therefore, experienced cultivators would choose to arrive outside Red Moon City before dawn, and after hunting down the Sand Scorpions, they could enter the city.
Furthermore, the sand scorpions that appear before dawn are easier to hunt.
There are many experienced people, but even more inexperienced people.
Seeing a large group of people outside the city heading in one of the directions, Liu Yunqing and his companion exchanged a glance and followed the crowd.
Upon arriving at the location, Liu Yunqing discovered it was a temporary resting place. From the conversations of the people around her, she learned that it was a place for first-time visitors to rest overnight.
As soon as Liu Yunqing and his companion found a place to sit down, they noticed that they were being watched from time to time.
One of them even walked over to the two men, sat down, and started talking to them.
"Since this is your first time here, do you know the requirements for hunting the Sand Scorpion?"
