The cave was no longer as chaotic as it had been when Shen Yunhao first entered the secret realm. The bloody aura that filled the sky had vanished without a trace, and even the bone dragons that had lost consciousness had disappeared without a trace.
"Where...where are they? Blood Soul Child and Zi'er, where did they go?"
"Could it be... that we came out too late?"
Zhu Li, standing to the side, said with a worried expression, "It took too much time to get through that Heavenly Staircase..."
Shen Yunhao shook his head, "The Heavenly Rank isn't actually that far, and it won't take long!"
"Huh? But I feel like we've been walking for a long time!"
"The long walk is just an illusion!" Shen Yunhao said in a heavy tone. "We can see the extent of the contamination of the crystal ball containing the Ancestral Dragon's will. If we had really walked on the Heavenly Stairs for several hours or even days, the Ancestral Dragon's will would have been completely contaminated long ago. How could we have waited until now..."
"As for this place..."
Shen Yunhao stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "I guess that since the Ancestral Dragon's will has returned to normal, those bone dragons have also awakened, or launched an attack on Xue Hunzi and Zi'er. In any case, they should be back in the same place now! But... where did Xue Hunzi and Zi'er go? Even if something happened, there should be traces left here!"
Thinking of this, Shen Yunhao frowned even more deeply, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
Just then, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly rang out.
"The Sacred Soul of the Ancestral Dragon? Interesting..."
Shen Yunhao and the other man were both startled and immediately turned around to look at the source of the sound. They saw a pale-faced scholar standing on the top of the black totem.
Startled for a moment, Zhu Li was overjoyed.
"Father... Father! You've come!"
"Uncle...Senior!"
Shen Yunhao also breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
The appearance of Zhu Xuan also meant that the Blood Sect's plan had completely failed, and the matter had come to a complete end.
But he was still very worried about Mo Yan's safety, and asked in a panic, "May I ask if you have seen a vine demon here, senior?"
"Ivy demon?"
Zhu Xuan glanced at Shen Yunhao, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Of course I've seen him!"
"Where is she? Where did she go?"
"He's dead..."
"die……"
boom--
Shen Yunhao felt a loud bang in his head, and his consciousness went blank in an instant.
Dead?
My little sister... is dead?
That girl...she's dead?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Shen Yunhao instinctively shouted, "You're lying to me! She's the Dark Abyss Demon Vine, she can only be sealed, how could she possibly die!"
"oh?"
Zhu Xuan raised an eyebrow and said, "So you're saying I can't kill her?"
"!!!"
"But the truth is, she made a mess of this place, so I had no choice but to kill her..."
"you!"
In an instant, a surge of overwhelming rage welled up in his heart. Coupled with the fact that he had been tricked by the will of the Ancestral Dragon not long ago, his anger accumulated and exploded instantly.
"You killed her? We worked so hard to delay the Blood Sect and purify the blood energy for your dragon clan, and then you killed her? That brat didn't hesitate to use her evil soul blood energy to invade herself in order to save me. If it weren't for her, this damned Ancestral Dragon Will would have been destroyed long ago. And now you're telling me you killed her?"
Upon hearing that Mo Yan was dead, Zhu Li was also filled with disbelief, so much so that she did not stand up to stop Shen Yunhao as he became more and more carried away.
"You're the Dragon King of the North Sea! The Blood Sect came to attack your lair, and where the hell were you? Zi'er risked her life to hold off the Blood Sect for you, and the moment you appeared, you killed them!"
At this point, Shen Yunhao took a deep breath.
"You think you're the Dragon King of the North Sea?! I'm asterisking... mmm mmm..."
The next second, Shen Yunhao's upper and lower lips joined together, and he couldn't utter a single word afterward, turning into a series of "mmmmmm".
Zhu Li then realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "Father, please have mercy! Yun Hao was just... too heartbroken and too anxious. Please don't take it to heart!"
Zhu Xuan raised his hand and rubbed his temples. "Too hasty?"
"Mmm...mmm..."
Shen Yunhao's eyes were blazing with anger, and even with his mouth sealed, he kept making muffled noises.
If looks could kill, Zhu Xuan felt he would have been killed a hundred times over by now.
"Zhao...you brat, that's some really foul language!"
The scholar simply waved his hand, and Shen Yunhao was instantly thrown off balance by a force, landing face down against the wall, unable to move.
"Father, no!"
Zhu Li thought Zhu Xuan was angry, and instinctively wanted to run over to protect Shen Yunhao.
However, she didn't know that Zhu Xuan's real target was actually her!
The next moment, a beam of light shone down, imprisoning Zhu Li in place. Zhu Xuan flashed and appeared directly in front of her. With a gentle lift of his palm, the azure soul fire that had been floating in front of Zhu Li appeared in his palm.
"Hmm? Ugh—"
Upon seeing this, Shen Yunhao began to scream wildly again.
Although he couldn't speak, Zhu Xuan seemed to have heard what he was saying.
That shameless bastard even dared to steal Li'er's soul fire...
Several veins bulged on Zhu Xuan's forehead, clearly indicating that he was quite angry.
But he still raised his palm and pushed, sending that wisp of soul fire into the Candlelight Eyebrow Spirit Platform.
The next second, Zhuli's eyes suddenly became empty, and then she fell straight down...
An invisible force dragged the girl to the side. After doing this, Zhu Xuan turned around and looked at Shen Yunhao, who was still cursing not far away.
"Mmm...mmm..."
Shen Yunhao couldn't see what Zhu Xuan did to Zhu Li. When he saw Zhu Li collapse and faint, his eyes were bloodshot, and he started cursing again!
“If I were you, I would choose to endure, then use this opportunity to gain the favor of the dragons, and continue to grow until one day I have enough power to make a move against me… instead of being here in a helpless rage.”
"..."
Shen Yunhao was stunned, and sure enough, there was no further movement.
The atmosphere remained silent for a long time, but then Zhu Xuan suddenly laughed.
“But if you really do that, I definitely won’t let Li’er stay with you anymore… because I won’t let this silly girl continue to like someone who could hurt her at any time. You two are not suitable…”
"..."
"On the contrary, your current actions, though a bit foolish, have made me look at you in a different light! In these thousands of years, you are the first person to dare to scold me like this, which puts you ahead of 99% of people in this world, doesn't it?"
"???"
What kind of thought process is this? You think you can get away with just a couple of insults?
At this moment, Zhu Xuan waved his hand again.
The Vast Ocean Heart between Shen Yunhao's brows separated uncontrollably and slowly floated in front of Zhu Xuan.
Zhu Xuan then opened his right palm.
A thin, purple vine, tinged with a scarlet blood aura, floated in his palm...
Clearly, Mo Yan is not "dead" as Zhu Xuan claimed.
