Ye Wushuang’s gaze swept across the surroundings. Although it was night, the bright moonlight still allowed him to discern the outlines of the ancient city.
If something felt off…
The Blood-Bone People! They were gone!
Ji Ou immediately said, “Since sunset, these Blood-Bone People have been retreating one by one. At first, when the sky just darkened, you could still see the vast expanse of dark red light under the night sky…”
Those dark red lights were the gleams emitted from the eyes of the Blood-Bone People.
“Now, in the deep of the night, the blood-red lights have vanished,” he continued.
“Could it be that the Blood-Bone People have withdrawn? Do you think the seal on this ancient city has been lifted?” someone else speculated.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s eyebrows shot up in surprise.
Then, he spoke up, “The blue light pillar won’t dissipate in a short while. Let’s stay here for now. I’ll go out and take a look.”
“I’ll go with you!” Ji Ou and Jiang Yihan both chimed in.
Ye Wushuang shook his head. “This blue light pillar is ownerless. If we all leave, others might come and seize it… That would be disastrous.”
“Senior Ji Ou, you come with me. Senior Mu and Senior Jiang, you two stay here. We’ll have peace of mind knowing you’re in charge,” Ye Wushuang suggested.
After reaching an agreement, Ye Wushuang and Ji Ou set off under the cover of night.
Mu Zi Li and Jiang Yihan stood on the rooftop of the pavilion, watching the two figures disappear into the distance, their hearts filled with concern.
However…
Simply waiting here was not a solution either.
Going out to seek opportunities was the only way to survive and leave this place.
Ji Ou, now at the third level of the Myriad Methods Realm, and Ye Wushuang, at the second level, moved forward along the street.
At this moment, those who were still alive in the ancient city must be hiding in various places, cautious and vigilant. If the two of them were to fly through the air, they would likely be ambushed halfway.
Choosing to stay close to the ground was clearly the safest option.
Soon, the two figures arrived at the city gate.
Ji Ou swung his blade with a slash.
Clang!!!
The seemingly empty space in front of them was actually an intangible barrier that absorbed all of Ji Ou’s attack without making a sound.
“It’s still sealed,” Ji Ou muttered. “This Tianlin Ancient City is really eerie this time!”
With a leap, Ye Wushuang landed on the city wall and gazed at the vast ancient city. He couldn’t help but say, “Right now, the most critical thing might be that blood-red light pillar.”
A ten-thousand-foot blood-red light pillar rose from the ground.
Within a radius of several miles around the blood-red light pillar, everything was shrouded in blood mist.
It was very clear during the day.
Even now, at night, from a distance, one could still see the blood mist swirling around the light pillar under the night sky.
What on earth was it?
“Let’s go and see!” Ye Wushuang made up his mind.
“Huh?” Ji Ou, who always thought he was quite bold, was taken aback by Ye Wushuang’s words.
Go and see?
That place was very likely the lair of the Blood-Bone People. If they ran into those creatures head-on, they would be in big trouble.
“Staying here and waiting is extremely dangerous too. It’s better to take a look now while we still have some room to maneuver and find out what’s really going on,” Ye Wushuang reasoned.
“If we encounter danger and really provoke those Blood-Bone People, we’ll just retreat back to where we were.”
“Alright!” Ji Ou nodded in agreement.
The two of them set off again under the cover of night.
On the vast street, the moonlight shone down, making the surroundings cold and desolate. The houses, shops, and high-rise buildings around them looked eerie and terrifying under the moonlit night.
An occasional gust of wind would send a chill down one’s spine.
Ye Wushuang was cautious and led the way, while Ji Ou followed closely behind, always on guard.
Suddenly, in an instant.
“Watch out!” Ye Wushuang shouted, his body instantly retreating as he grabbed Ji Ou and both of them leaped into the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
The next moment, the street where they had been standing shook violently, with the rumbling sound echoing incessantly.
The surrounding streets within a radius of several miles all trembled at this moment.
The silent ancient city was jolted by this earth-shattering roar.
Many people, who had been in a daze, suddenly woke up, clutching their spiritual weapons and cautiously looking around from their hiding places.
What was happening?
Had the Blood-Bone People appeared again?
Who was so unlucky to be targeted?
Many of the survivors were filled with astonishment.
Boom! Boom…
With the roar still echoing, the two figures were blasted away and crashed into a mansion within a market district.
“Ji Ou!” Ye Wushuang quickly got up from the rubble and called out.
“I’m here,” came Ji Ou’s voice.
Ye Wushuang followed the sound and took three steps forward when an extremely dangerous killing intent suddenly approached.
Buzz…
Accompanying the buzzing sound, fierce sword auras roared down from the sky, slashing directly at Ye Wushuang.
“Get lost!” With a deep roar, Ye Wushuang clenched his fist and punched out, a rumbling thunderous sound accompanying his strike.
