700. Chapter 698: Heart of the Blood Moon Demon

In my view, this is merely an appearance.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan both became deeply interested in the demon cultivator's words.

They drew a little closer, waiting patiently.

The demon cultivator continued, 'The true goal of the Blood Moon Sect is to seek the legendary treasure—the Heart of the Blood Moon Demon.'

Hearing that name, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan both blinked in surprise.

The demon cultivator then explained, 'Rumor has it that the Heart of the Blood Moon Demon possesses immense power; whoever obtains it can grasp the mysteries of heaven and earth.'

'We demon cultivators believe that only by possessing this treasure can we reach the true pinnacle of power.'

Su Liyan furrowed her brows, 'Then what exactly is this Heart of the Blood Moon Demon?'

'Has anyone seen it?'

The demon cultivator shook his head, 'So far, no one has been able to find its existence.'

'But the Blood Moon Sect has been searching diligently; we believe it definitely exists.'

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, his eyes showing determination.

'If so, let us also strive together.'

'Perhaps we can join forces to find the Heart of the Blood Moon Demon and unravel its mystery.'

Under the explanation of the Blood Moon Sect demon cultivator, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan developed a strong interest in the existence of the Heart of the Blood Moon Demon.

Immediately afterward, they exchanged some of their cultivation insights and experiences, achieving a deeper understanding.

Just as they were immersed in discussing the Dao, a sudden strong vibration came.

A terrifying demonic aura surged like a flood, causing everyone to frown.

'What's going on?'

Su Liyan vigilantly looked around; she felt the surrounding space beginning to twist and change.

At that moment, a figure swiftly flew from afar.

His hair was disheveled, hanging to his waist, his face worn out, and he bore a long sword that gleamed with a blue light.

'It's Mo Di!'

Seeing that figure, the demon cultivator immediately shouted.

Mo Di stopped before the crowd, coldly sizing up Lu Yuan and the others, 'So this is the truth!'

'You actually came for the Heart of the Blood Moon Demon.'

'Mo Di!'

Su Liyan gritted her teeth, 'Since you know our purpose, don't stop us.'

'I won't let anyone obtain the Heart of the Blood Moon Demon.'

Mo Di's expression was cold, 'You will regret coming here.'

'Don't overestimate yourself!'

Lu Yuan showed no weakness, stepping forward, 'Although the Heart of the Blood Moon Demon contains immeasurable power, it inevitably comes with great danger.'

'We just want to uncover the truth and find a safer way.'

'Since you already know so much, why won't you listen to our voices?'

Mo Di's eyes flickered; in his anxious and conflicted gaze, a hint of hesitation showed.

Just then, Zi Xi'er and Zi Cui Ling also rushed to the battlefield.

Seeing the situation, they quickly stood beside Lu Yuan and the others, and unleashed a highly coordinated and powerful cooperative attack.

Surrounded in the center, Mo Di could barely fend off the attacks of the four, but he was clearly beginning to struggle.

'Mo Di!'

Zi Xi'er shouted angrily, 'Don't sacrifice yourself pointlessly; we are cultivators, we ought to seek the truth, not engage in blind conflict.'

Mo Di's face changed unpredictably, his eyes showing conflict and struggle.

He instinctively wanted to retort, but deep down he felt somewhat shaken.

The battle between the two sides continued, the surrounding space becoming ever more distorted.

Lu Yuan sensed a powerful force about to be released.

He knew that if he could not win this battle and make Mo Di submit, the road ahead would be fraught with peril.

'Junior Sister Su!' Lu Yuan transmitted mentally.

'We must join forces to defeat Mo Di! Then we can continue to persuade him.'

Su Liyan nodded in agreement, and the two launched a stronger attack in unison.

On the battlefield, dark red moonlight shrouded the abandoned temple, and bloody demonic qi filled the air, making one feel suffocated.

Lu Yuan gripped his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly, sweat continually dripping from his forehead.

He fixed his gaze on Mo Di, his eyes showing determination and resolve.

Su Liyan stood beside Lu Yuan; her Cold Jade Ice Shard emitted a faint light, providing her with a solid shield.

She gathered her entire aura, preparing to unleash a final strike.

Mo Di fell into a predicament from which he could not escape.

He saw his long-held persistence and beliefs begin to turn pale and powerless; before these young cultivators, he tasted a confusion he had never known.

'Rest easy, Mo Di.'

Zi Xi'er calmly said, 'We are not trying to seize the Heart of the Blood Moon Demon.'

'We only want to protect the world from its harm and seek the truth.'

As Zi Xi'er's words fell, another figure flew in.

That was an expert sent by the Spirit Stone Mine, his figure agile, a light blue robe fluttering as he moved.

"Elder Fengxuan!" Su Liyan exclaimed in surprise and joy.

Fengxuan is a Nascent Soul Stage expert of the Spirit Stone Mine, renowned throughout the Xiuzhen Jie for his superb magical techniques.

At this moment, he launched an attack against Mo Di, leaving trails of cool sword light in the air.

Mo Di was surrounded by attacks from all sides, the crisis deepening.

He knew he could no longer continue to resist.

"Enough!"

Mo Di let out an angry roar, his demonic energy surging, a terrifying aura emanating from his whole body, "It seems only by using true power can I make you shut up!"

Mo Di suddenly swung the long sword in his hand toward the sky.

Lightning fell from the heavens, enveloping him.

He unleashed a sword strike of ultimate power with all his might.

Lu Yuan's heart gave a sudden thump.

He felt death approaching, "Not good!"

Seeing the situation turn bad, Su Liyan immediately abandoned her plan to attack Mo Di, transforming into a frost that shielded Lu Yuan.

A massive bolt of lightning struck Su Liyan's frost, the violent explosion deafening.

Su Liyan bore almost all the damage and collapsed to the ground.

Lu Yuan hurried to Su Liyan's side, embraced her, and with all his might executed the Five Elements Escape Armor Art, hiding them in a dark passage.

"Don't think you can escape!"

Mo Di let out an angry roar and rushed over.

He had just wanted to pursue when he suddenly felt an indescribable terrifying aura coming from another direction.

Everyone saw a huge and imposing figure appear in midair. It was the patriarch of the Ziyun Clan, Zi Cui Ling.

Her noble and alluring bearing inspired awe.

She wielded the Ziyun long sword in her hand, weaving in the air an endless, gorgeous and deadly sword dance.

"Mo Di!" Zi Cui Ling's eyes flashed, "Do you think you can shake us?"

Mo Di's face turned extremely grave. He felt his power could not be compared to Zi Cui Ling's.

Mo Di lowered his head, his mind in turmoil.

"I admit I was once deceived." Mo Di said in a deep voice, "But can you guarantee that the 'Blood Moon Demon Heart' will not bring disaster?" (End of chapter)
