Chapter 341: Blood Pool

While the two were still on their way back to Hope City, everyone in the City Lord's mansion had long been waiting anxiously.

Diana in particular was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth.

"Could it be that Chen Fan hasn't advanced yet? You have to know that the effect of the Blazing Sun Flower is about to wear off."

"This guy should have advanced by now, right? After all, the good don't live long, while scourges last for a thousand years. This guy is so bad, he surely can survive this hurdle, right?"

Seeing her incredibly nervous, Luo Yao couldn't help but comfort her: "Sister Diana, don't worry anymore. Chen Fan's talent is unmatched; he will certainly break through smoothly."

Diana's face turned slightly red, and she hummed softly: "I'm not worried about that guy; I'm just worried that if he can't hold on, there will be no one to accompany me to find Mo Wuya."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Luo Yao chuckled, not exposing her true thoughts.

Just as the sky was growing dark, seeing that Chen Fan had still not returned, everyone was becoming impatient.

Diana said with an anxious look: "Does anyone know where Red Thunder Mountain is? I'll go look for him."

Just at this moment, two figures landed like meteors in the huge courtyard of the City Lord's mansion.

"Chen Fan, you're back!" Seeing who it was, Diana hurried over.

"Did you advance?" she asked nervously, grabbing Chen Fan's arm.

Rarely seeing her like this, Chen Fan couldn't help but tease: "The great beauty can actually be nervous about someone?"

"I'm nervous about you?" Diana immediately widened her beautiful eyes, refusing to admit it.

"Look at your smug expression, you must have advanced." Diana looked him up and down, then pursed her lips and gave a mischievous smile: "Chen Fan, I have advanced to Grandmaster; you won't be able to beat me from now on!"

Saying this, she raised her leg to attack Chen Fan; she had been bullied by Chen Fan for so long that she had long wanted to take revenge.

Before breaking through to Grandmaster this time, she had swallowed ten Soul Spirit Fruits in a row, her Soul had been greatly strengthened, and her strength could be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds.

She was confident she could handle Chen Fan.

However, the leg she kicked out was caught by Chen Fan with one hand by the ankle and held in the air.

Such a posture was somewhat embarrassing, and for a moment, Diana's pretty face flushed slightly.

She hurriedly spun in the air, broke free from Chen Fan's palm, and attacked Chen Fan again.

Yet after a few moves, her hands were bound behind her back by Chen Fan with one hand.

The next moment, *slap! * A crisp sound rang out from Diana's backside.

"Hehe, wanting to be stronger than me, that's impossible for you in this lifetime." Chen Fan chuckled.

"You!" Diana's face flushed red to her ears.

"Chen Fan, let go! Let go! So many people are watching!" She was both shy and angry, her voice sounding like a coquettish reprimand.

"Uh... sorry." Chen Fan hurriedly released Diana.

Seeing the two of them playing around, everyone smiled without a word.

Chen Fan had indeed been a bit uncomposed just now; after his vow poison was lifted, he had no burden in his heart and felt much more carefree.

Coupled with the rarity of seeing Diana return to her usual liveliness, he couldn't help but tease her for a moment.

Chen Fan smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "Great beauty, not only did my cultivation advance on this trip, but even the vow poison was accidentally lifted."

"Really?!" Diana was somewhat pleasantly surprised, but after the surprise, she quickly revealed a lonely expression.

Chen Fan comforted her: "Don't worry, I will accompany you to see Mo Wuya; I have something to ask him anyway."

"Mm! Thank you, Chen Fan." Diana lowered her head to look at her toes and said softly.

Of course, Chen Fan did have business with Mo Wuya; this person mastered many methods related to the use of the Soul, and he wanted to learn a thing or two. After all, with the news of the Ghost Race, he was placing more and more importance on Soul-based methods.

To the side, Luo Yao walked over and said with a smile: "My mother is calling us to have dinner."

"Alright, coming." Chen Fan and Diana responded and hurriedly followed Luo Yao side-by-side.

At the dinner table, when Mo Yichen learned the news that Chen Fan's vow poison had been lifted, he felt it was incredible.

He exclaimed that Chen Fan had obtained a heaven-defying stroke of luck.

Chen Fan took the opportunity to ask: "Senior Mo, I wonder where Senior Mo Wuya is?"

Hearing this, Mo Yichen put down his chopsticks and recalled: "A few months ago, he came to Youlan Valley to find me; he asked me about the whereabouts of the Other Shore Flower."

"Other Shore Flower?" Chen Fan and Diana both showed puzzled expressions.

"The Other Shore Flower is a peculiar Spirit Medicine that grows on the corpses of the dead. Legend has it that after swallowing it, one can dream of their previous life! And after waking up, one's Soul power will greatly increase!"

"So magical?" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

"Mm!" Mo Yichen nodded.

And Chen Fan recalled the scene when he parted with Mo Wuya.

This person had once said that he was going to look for a more potent Spirit Medicine to use in formulating the antidote for the Beast God Pill.

"Could the Other Shore Flower be the Spirit Medicine Mo Wuya was looking for?" Chen Fan thought of this possibility.

Soon, his idea was confirmed.

Mo Yichen continued: "This type of Other Shore Flower was first discovered on the corpse of a pharaoh in a pyramid, and the Other Shore Flowers discovered later also all came from pyramids. Mo Wuya believes that this Spirit Medicine is conceived by absorbing the essence and Soul of the dead, so it will be of great use in treating Soul injuries."

"So Senior Mo Wuya went to look for pyramids?" Chen Fan asked with a frown.

"Yes! Mo Wuya went to the Sahara!" Mo Yichen said in a deep voice.

"Sahara... Desert?" Chen Fan and Diana looked at each other, and an unusual look flashed in their eyes.

The Sahara Desert is located in northern Africa and is home to numerous pyramids, but it is the most dangerous place on Blue Star.

It is an endless desert where Strange Beasts hide underground and are not easily discovered, so walking in the desert, you never know if the next step you take will be into the giant mouth of a Strange Beast.

Caution flashed in the eyes of Chen Fan and Diana as they looked at each other.

At this time, Mo Yichen said again: "Actually, the danger of the Sahara Desert, besides coming from Strange Beasts, also comes from some primitive tribes there. They like to capture living people for live sacrifices, so if you see primitive tribes in the desert, you must stay far away."

Chen Fan and Diana listened silently. After dinner, the group rested in the City Lord's mansion for the night. The next day, declining Luo Jingyun's escort, Chen Fan, Diana, and Black Crow set off early.

Now, Chen Fan was very confident in his own strength; even if he encountered a Sea Beast tide, he was confident he could lead people to break through.

Qingyou carried everyone across the sea and successfully returned to Youlan Valley, but the scene before them made the three of them feel a shock in their hearts.

In the valley, the corpses that had originally been scattered all over the ground had vanished, and in their place appeared a Blood Pool.

The Blood Pool was about a hundred square feet in size, with some kind of eerie Array Technique carved around its perimeter, and the Water of blood inside bubbled and surged, with bones not yet fully dissolved still vaguely visible within.

At this moment, four men dressed in blood robes were sitting at the four cardinal directions of the Blood Pool, chanting incantations.

And beside the Blood Pool, there stood another man with dragon horns growing from his head.

This person appeared to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a hint of evil upon his handsome face.

The appearance of Chen Fan and the others immediately alerted these five people.

The hand movements of those four blood-robed men stopped, and the previously stable Array Technique nearly collapsed.

The dragon-horned man hurriedly shouted, "Do not lose focus!"

Having said that, he looked toward Chen Fan and the other two, a murderous intent rising sharply in his eyes.
