Chapter 249: Blood Pillar Piercing the Sky

In the distance, an unknown distance away, a pillar of blood-colored light shot up into the sky, piercing through the heavens.

The blood-colored light pillar looked soft and even curved; at first glance, it resembled a blood sausage, which was very eerie.

The crowd exclaimed in unison: "What is that?"

The blood-colored light pillar lasted for ten breaths of time before suddenly vanishing, as if it had never appeared at all.

Just then, a majestic voice rang in everyone's ears: "This blood pillar rose from the planet of the Yaoshou Senlin; some kind of incident must have occurred in the Yaoshou Senlin."

"However, rest assured, we are all waiting outside the Yaoshou Senlin. If there is any great danger, we will certainly intervene. You may proceed with your trial without worry."

The one who spoke was Dongfang Shu.

The moment he saw the blood pillar, he knew what was going on.

He had agreed with the others that in this extraordinary situation, they would remain behind to handle any accidents and ensure the trial proceeded normally.

However, Dongfang Shu's expression was grave: "The Emperor Realm cultivators from the Guangmu Xingyu surely have the same thoughts as us; there may be conflict between us."

Tian Dingkun let out a cold snort: "We are enemies to begin with; clashes are inevitable!"

"Last time they had the slight upper hand, but this time it might not be the case!"

Murong He was also full of confidence: "We haven't been idle all these years; how could we fear them?"

Su Zichen frowned slightly: "It didn't seem like that last time; I feel they weren't even taking it seriously."

"Our overall strength is still inferior to theirs; we must be careful."

Dongfang Shu also nodded in agreement: "Indeed. The Guangmu Xingyu dared to strike hard against our students this time; they must have devised means to deal with us."

"We must act with caution and not underestimate the enemy!"

Guan Jiande also expressed his agreement: "That's right, we must be careful!"

"The Great World Struggle depends mainly on these students; their safety is of utmost importance."

"Notify the Law Enforcement Team immediately, tell them to be vigilant. Once they discover people from the Guangmu Xingyu, kill them immediately without mercy!"

"If we encounter them later, we must also not hold back; strike with the force of thunder!"

He looked at Dongfang Shu: "That kid's Emperor Venerable Spirit Sealing Talisman is in your hands; you must not be stingy when the time comes to use it!"

Dongfang Shu shook his head slightly: "The Spirit Sealing Talisman is his, not ours; I cannot use it without authorization."

"If it really comes to it, I will send him a voice transmission to ask for his opinion; I believe he will certainly agree."

"However, if we use his Spirit Sealing Talisman, we must provide him with equivalent compensation!"

Guan Jiande nodded: "That is excellent! If we encounter uncontrollable situations, it is better to use it first if there is no time to notify him."

"If we are in danger, we will be unable to protect them."

At critical moments, his mind remained very clear.

If they encountered a situation they could not handle, Lu Tianyu's Spirit Sealing Talisman would become the key.

But if they knew that this Spirit Sealing Talisman was useless to them, and that the Tribulation Transcendence Stage Spirit Sealing Talisman remained in Lu Tianyu's hands, one wonders what they would think.

Half an hour later.

Lu Tianyu, who had been closing his eyes, opened them.

He felt the flying boat slow down and knew they must have reached their destination.

In the view ahead, a planet wreathed in white mist appeared, similar in size to the planets outside the Bahuang Xingyu.

At this moment, the clouds and mist were already very thin, and one could vaguely see the pitch-black interior.

It was currently noon, and the sunlight was abundant.

However, as the sunlight shone onto the planet, it seemed to be swallowed up, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

At this moment, Dongfang Shu's announcement sounded: "We have arrived at the Yaoshou Senlin."

"This entire planet of the Yaoshou Senlin is covered in forest. Remember, do not fly over the forest; the target is too large and easily attracts attacks from predatory Yaoshou, which is very dangerous."

"Torrents of miasma appear in the Yaoshou Senlin from time to time; be sure to guard against them."

"Additionally, I must remind you of one thing: the Yaoshou Senlin has undergone an abnormal change this time, and it is possible that the Blood Demon Clan has appeared. Remember to stay on the periphery; you must not venture more than two hundred miles deep."

"Take care of yourselves."

As soon as his voice fell, the flying boat stopped, and the Restriction opened.

Seeing the excited and thrilled expressions on the students' faces, Dongfang Shu knew his words had been in vain again.

Every Yaoshou Senlin selection was like this; the things he repeatedly emphasized were often ignored by the students due to their youth and curiosity.

It was fine in previous years, but this year was different from the past and would be extremely dangerous.

All Dongfang Shu could do was urge the Law Enforcement Team to pay more attention to these students and keep them from running around.

The Yaoshou Senlin had a Restriction that prevented Great Vehicle Stage cultivators from entering, or they would be attacked; if not for this, Dongfang Shu would have gone in himself.

However, Great Vehicle Stage cultivators had a large attack range and could still intervene in special circumstances.

They just could not enter within ten miles above the forest.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~

Watching the figures fly toward the Yaoshou Senlin like locusts, Lu Tianyu stood up slowly and did not enter immediately.

Guo Zhuying, Liu Qingyan, Shangguan Wan'er, and the others all looked at Lu Tianyu, waiting for him to speak.

Lu Tianyu smiled slightly: "No rush to enter; let them pave the way first."

Shangguan Wan'er rolled her large eyes: "No rush?"

"By the time others have hunted all the Yaoshou, we'll go in to drink the soup and won't get any rewards."

Lu Tianyu shook his head slightly: "The Yaoshou Senlin is full of Yaoshou; they cannot kill them all."

"Our goal is the Yaoshou herds. When the herds appear, we only need to work together to hunt a few times, and that will be enough."

He pointed to the planet of the Yaoshou Senlin: "You all should have seen it just now; a blood pillar appeared from here, so it can be confirmed that the Blood Demon Clan has appeared."

"There are people from the Blood Shadow Sect among the students selected this time; they are skilled in blood poison, and the blood poison of the Blood Demon Clan is even more formidable."

"If the demonic beasts in the Yaoshou Senlin are infected with blood poison, they will become bloodthirsty and crazed; if you are scratched while fighting them, you will be infected with the blood poison, and the victim will turn into a bloodthirsty demonic beast just like them within ten breaths, attacking their own people."

"Those who enter first will inevitably suffer the crazed attacks of the demonic beasts and will never be able to rest; as long as we follow behind them, we will save ourselves a lot of trouble."

This information was all told to him by the Qian Gu Nu Di, who advised him not to enter too early.

Shangguan Wan'er blinked her large eyes and immediately thought of the crux of the matter: "You said they can never rest, so wouldn't that be dangerous?"

"The demonic beasts are bloodthirsty, so if that's the case, we won't be able to rest either; wouldn't we just be worn to death?"

Guo Zhuying's expression also changed: "The demonic beasts are bloodthirsty, and their sense of smell becomes exceptionally keen; as soon as we enter the Yaoshou Senlin, they will come following the scent of blood."

"Then if we don't rest, wouldn't we have to turn back before long?"

The expressions of Murong Xue, Lu Wenbin, Liu Qingyan, and the others all changed drastically.
