The reason why Shen Yunhao was able to guess the white-bearded old man's identity as a member of the Blood Sect so quickly was, to be honest, largely thanks to Shuang'er.
Having been fooled by an "old man with a white beard" not long ago, how could Shen Yunhao possibly fall for it a second time?
Moreover, after this so-called Ancestral Dragon's Will appeared, it didn't mention the matter of the evil soul's blood energy at all, and immediately asked him for the Vast Ocean Heart...
This intention is far too obvious!
However, upon hearing that the other party was a veteran Blood Sect expert with Void Realm cultivation, Shen Yunhao couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Because Mo Yan's current condition... is really bad.
Blood Soul stood in mid-air, his blood-red robe fluttering without wind. With a light stroke of his withered fingers, dozens of blood lines appeared in the air, twisting and writhing around him as if they were alive.
"Little girl, you've got some sense." Blood Soul Master chuckled sinisterly. "Since you've heard of my reputation, why don't you quickly hand over the Heart of the Vast Ocean? Perhaps I'll be in a good mood and spare your lives..."
Mo Yan sneered, "Old man, starting to act all high and mighty again? The feeling of being invaded by demonic energy isn't pleasant, is it?"
Shen Yunhao was taken aback when he heard this, and then he noticed a faint purple light on Xuehunzi's chest, which was the wound left by Moyan's sneak attack earlier.
Illusory Demonic Qi... is a terrible poison for all living beings in this world who need spiritual energy, even the Demonic Sect is no exception!
Blood Soul Child's expression darkened, and his eyes flashed with a blood-red light: "You're courting death!"
He suddenly flicked his sleeve, and dozens of blood lines shot out, weaving into a blood-red net in the air, enveloping the two of them.
Mo Yan dared not be negligent. She formed hand seals, and purple demonic vines sprouted from the ground, forming a vine barrier.
The blood-red web collided with the wisteria, and the purple and blood-red mist devoured each other, emitting eerie bubbling sounds.
"You brat, stay away!"
Mo Yan let out a low shout, and another huge wisteria vine lifted her up, activating her battle form.
It took Shen Yunhao a moment to realize that the "brat" was being called at him, and he immediately stepped back.
Even a small aftershock in a battle between Void Realm cultivators could obliterate him.
At this moment, Blood Soul Child suddenly laughed, "I remember now! You are the Dark Abyss Demon Vine that Ghost Wood has been searching for! Interesting! Interesting! Capturing you back might allow me to ask Ghost Wood for quite a few good things!"
The next second, nine blood holes appeared out of thin air around the man in the blood-red robe, and nine giant pythons formed from blood sprang out of the holes, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Mo Yan.
"Nine Pythons Blood Slaughter Formation!"
Instead of retreating, Mo Yan advanced, and the thick vines condensed into vine pythons in the air, attacking the blood python!
However, these blood pythons didn't seem to be particularly aggressive. They circled around the vine pythons in the air, and neither could gain the upper hand!
Seeing that Mo Yan was not at a disadvantage, Shen Yunhao breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, some doubts also lingered in my mind...
Such a major event occurred in the Ancestral Dragon Land, could it be that Zhu Xuan was completely unaware of it?
"Never mind! Let's try contacting Sister Li'er with the White Dragon Lantern first and tell her about the situation here! As long as Zhu Xuan arrives, none of these Blood Sect elders will be able to escape!"
However, just as he took out the White Dragon Lamp, he suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon.
Blood Soul's attacks seemed fierce, but he himself appeared very unhurried, always hovering in front of the totem pole, never rashly making a move even if there were other opportunities to attack.
It seems like... they're stalling for time?
"They have no reason to delay, right? I'm waiting for Zhu Xuan to arrive, what are they waiting for?"
Just then, a flash of inspiration struck Shen Yunhao...
When I was clearing away the evil spirits and blood energy just now, he could have easily snatched the Heart of the Vast Ocean. Why did he wait until now?
Mo Yan was badly weakened by the Bone Dragon, and the situation was clearly in his favor. Why did he still pretend to be the will of the Ancestral Dragon and try to coax and deceive him?
"No! They must have another plan!"
Shen Yunhao's gaze shifted to the totem pole, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
The dragon patterns on the surface of the pillar, which had been purified, were now being slowly stained with blood again, and the blood was even deeper than before, as if it were alive and wriggling in the patterns.
"Oh no!" Shen Yunhao exclaimed in sudden realization, "His real target is still the totem! He wants to corrupt the totem and then control those bone dragons?!"
There's definitely no time to call Zhuli now. Once the other side takes control of the totem, the situation here will become one-sided!
Shen Yunhao gritted his teeth and circled around to the totem from the side.
At this moment, Mo Yan in the sky noticed Shen Yunhao's movements and immediately intensified its attack, not giving the opponent a chance to hinder Shen Yunhao!
"Oh? Interesting little fellow, daring to try and shake a tree like an ant!"
The observational skills of a Void Realm cultivator were certainly not something Shen Yunhao could evade. Immediately, two blood-red blades were unleashed, aimed directly at the fleeing Shen Yunhao...
Fortunately, it was intercepted by Mo Yan!
"Old man, your opponent is me!"
"Ridiculous! How long can a mere Soul Condensation Realm kid like him last!"
Seeing that his attack had failed, Xuehunzi didn't care and focused all his attention on dealing with Moyan.
However, if someone were observant, they would surely notice that the wound on Blood Soul Child's chest... was slowly widening!
Clearly, it wasn't that he didn't want to stop Shen Yunhao, but that stopping him now... would come at a great cost!
"This kid isn't a dragon, so even if he fights to the death to release his blood essence, it'll be useless... Once that old thing inside is completely corrupted, the North Sea Dragon Clan... will be wiped out!"
Shen Yunhao quickly arrived next to the totem and mobilized the remaining spiritual energy to activate the Vast Sea Heart!
The blue light emitted stopped the spread of the blood-red color.
At this moment, Shen Yunhao once again took out a top-grade spirit stone from the bronze ring and secretly absorbed it in his palm.
Although it's slow, it's barely enough to sustain the consumption of the Vast Ocean Heart...
"Luckily, I managed to get a lot of spirit stones from those people from the Tai Xuan Dao Sect, otherwise we'd be in real trouble now..."
Even so, Shen Yunhao still frowned deeply.
Why isn't Blood Soul Child in a hurry at all right now?
Based on the previous contact with the White Dragon Lantern, Zhu Li must have gone to ask the elders in the clan. If she asks enough, she will surely find out that this place is the Ancestral Dragon Land.
As long as the situation here remains deadlocked, it's only a matter of time before someone in Beihai notices something amiss.
With Han Haixin holding them back and their blood energy unable to spread, their plan... should be declared a failure...
"etc!"
Shen Yunhao frowned. "Where did the Blood Soul Child come from? What was it doing before it came out?"
After a moment of thought, Shen Yunhao looked at the totem in front of him.
Blood Soul Child clearly did nothing, yet the blood energy on the totem kept gushing out...
What is the source of this blood and energy?
The Land of the Ancestral Dragon is where the descendants of the dragon race train to obtain the blood of the Ancestral Dragon... But where is that training? And where is the blood of the Ancestral Dragon?
And... why did Blood Soul Child impersonate the Will of the Ancestral Dragon before? Did he actually see it?
Thinking of this, Shen Yunhao felt a chill rush straight to his head!
