Chapter 585: Do not misunderstand
The two had just escaped from the "Heaven-Reaching Pavilion." In his joy, Song Qingming had actually forgotten for a moment that he was still holding Huo Feng's jade hand tightly.
Hearing Huo Feng's reminder, Song Qingming, who had reacted, saw the trace of displeasure that had begun to slowly emerge in Huo Feng's eyes and hurriedly let go of her.
Then, he pulled a little distance away from her before taking off the bronze mask on his face.
"Just now, in my anxiety, I was also afraid that the old demon had some other tricks up his sleeve, so I had no way to explain the situation to you clearly. Before..."
"Alright! Do not explain first. It is not safe enough here. We must leave immediately. Otherwise, if those old fellows chase us out, once we are found by them, we still won't be able to escape."
Before Song Qingming could explain why he had suddenly appeared, Huo Feng put away the "Mysterious Spirit Pill" in her hand and immediately waved her hand to interrupt him.
At the moment, although the two had escaped from the "Heaven-Reaching Pavilion," the space on the ninth floor was not very large, and added to the fact that they did not know when the Heaven-Reaching Tower would close, hiding here was indeed still a bit too dangerous.
Once those Nascent Soul cultivators fighting for treasures inside all came out, hiding under their noses like this, once discovered, it would certainly be difficult to escape.
Seeing this, Song Qingming also nodded immediately. Just as he was preparing to follow Huo Feng to leave this place,
he discovered that after Huo Feng finished saying those words, she did not move her figure. Instead, her phoenix eyes looked at him, and her left hand had also begun to be raised slightly unnaturally.
"I... I still have quite a lot of blood poison in my body now. Forcibly breaking through the space might aggravate my injuries. Let's use your method just now and go down to hide first!"
Although she had escaped from the Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu's blood prison, in the big battle just now, Huo Feng had already had quite a lot of blood poison invaded into her body, added to the fact that she was later injured by the backlash of the "Golden Thunder Bead," her injuries were also not light.
Looking at the few faint blood-colored fine threads that had already emerged on Huo Feng's face due to the erosion of the blood poison, Song Qingming also understood immediately.
At this moment, Huo Feng's injuries were probably a bit severe, and it was no longer convenient for her to forcibly take action to break through the passage from the ninth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower to the eighth floor.
"I... that method of mine can only be used once. Now I have no way to transmit again!
This place is relatively remote. Even if those people come out, they might not be able to find it. If we set up a few more concealment restrictions here, we should still have a chance to avoid them."
Although Song Qingming also really wanted to use the transmission method just now to take Huo Feng to the eighth floor below together, it would be safer.
However, at this time, he indeed had no other way. Being able to save Huo Feng from the hands of the Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu just now was already the limit he could achieve while risking his own life and death.
"Counting on the few low-tier formations in your hands to hide under the noses of these Nascent Soul old monsters, do you think you can have such good luck every time?"
Huo Feng quickly put away her jade hand, glanced at Song Qingming with some disappointment, turned around, chose a direction, and flew away quickly.
Seeing this, Song Qingming revealed a somewhat awkward smile on his face. Without saying much, he immediately turned into an escape light and followed.
Outside the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, after two white lights flashed, the figures of the Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu and Mo Yunting appeared in mid-air out of thin air.
"Brother Blood Demon, it looks like Old Demon Gu has already left the ninth floor. Do you think we should go down and look for him now, or wait until we go out?"
The Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu smiled and looked at Mo Yunting beside him, shaking his head lightly:
"Just now inside, you also saw that there were quite a few people chasing him. Going to look for him at this time, if we are targeted by that lunatic Wang Yan, this is not a good thing for the two of us. I think we had better forget it."
"Hmm! Brother, what you say also makes sense. Then let's wait until we go out. I will take my leave first!" After Mo Yunting finished speaking, he cupped his hands slightly to the Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu and turned into a black light, instantly disappearing from the spot.
After the black light completely disappeared from his eyes, the look of relaxation on the Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu's face slowly converged, and a group of blood mist suddenly surged from his body.
Gathering a group of blood mist in his hand and carefully looking at the spiritual light that lit up in the blood demon, a trace of a sinister smile appeared on the Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu's mouth again.
"Hehe! Sure enough, still outside. Let's see where else you can hide!"
After the Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu muttered to himself in mid-air, he set up the blood mist and flew towards another direction.
After flying for about several dozen miles in the air, the Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu fell from the sky and came to an empty piece of land.
Scanning the spot, immediately four or five black lights flew towards this side from different directions.
"Greetings, Master!"
After the Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu took a look, he discovered that among the sect disciples he had brought in, it seemed that two people were missing. With an unhappy face, he asked: "Are they two still not out yet?"
"Reporting to Master, Junior Brother Jiang has not returned yet; he should still be in the trial. Yucheng died unfortunately at the hands of a somewhat powerful opponent while competing for treasures inside."
Hearing Ma Wuchen's answer, the Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu furrowed his brows slightly: "Oh! What is the identity of this person, actually killing my sect's disciples?"
"The disciple went to pursue this person, but in the end, he still ran away. I... I didn't find out his identity! This person's cultivation is not high, only about the third layer of Jin Dan, but he has an object in his hand, it seems... it seems to be the Heaven-Reaching Token.
At that time, after the disciple cast a spell to trap him, it was because he used this magic treasure that he was finally able to escape." Ma Wuchen replied carefully and somewhat awkwardly.
"Oh! A third-stage Jin Dan cultivator actually possessing the Heaven-Reaching Token. This is truly a bit interesting!" The Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu looked at Ma Wuchen with a calm face, a trace of suspicion slightly revealed in his gaze.
However, a moment later, he shifted his gaze, gathered a group of blood mist from his hand again, and then divided a small group from it into the hands of the few disciples in front of him.
"Don't worry about the others first. Just now, someone was poisoned by my blood poison and is hiding in a certain position on the ninth floor. You come with me to find her.
Although this person has already been poisoned by the blood poison, she is also a Nascent Soul cultivator. After finding her, you must not act rashly; just use the Blood-Guiding Talisman to notify me.
No matter who it is, as long as they find the position where this person is hiding, Master will reward them heavily!" The Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu looked at the blood mist in his hand and said excitedly.
"The disciple obeys!" Hearing the Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu's instructions, Ma Wuchen and the others who had taken the blood mist immediately nodded and replied.
After the few disciples had left in different directions, the Blood Demon Chen Chen Laozu also changed directions with the blood mist and began to search nearby.
——
One stick of incense later, in mid-air on the eighth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, a golden light suddenly flashed, and a semi-circular golden light circle appeared.
A moment later, a white light flashed, and two figures appeared outside the golden light circle.
Having just passed through the space passage and not yet standing firm, Song Qingming was quickly rolled into a cloud of fire by Huo Feng, turning into a red light and disappearing from the spot.
The two flew forward for several hundred miles before Huo Feng, whose face had already turned somewhat pale, stopped on a high mountain. Then, she turned and flew directly into a cave that was not very conspicuous on the mountainside.
After entering the cave, Huo Feng dropped Song Qingming and then sat down directly in a corner of the cave.
"I want to clear the blood poison from my body first. If there is nothing, do not disturb me!" After Huo Feng finished speaking, she closed her eyes directly, and a burst of red light immediately began to emerge on her body.
Just now, in order to break through the space passage leading to the eighth floor, Huo Feng had forcibly used the magic power in her body that had been suppressing the blood poison, and very quickly, she suffered a backlash. At this moment, her situation was already somewhat dangerous.
Seeing the pale color on Huo Feng's face, Song Qingming, who was very worried in his heart, hesitated for a moment before not saying much. He took the initiative to walk to the cave entrance and took out the formation flags on his body to first set up a concealment array.
Although the eighth floor was much larger than the ninth floor, wanting to find them here all of a sudden was certainly not an easy matter. However, Song Qingming would still not be negligent about the necessary responses.
After setting up the array and seeing that the entrance had been shrouded by a group of mist, Song Qingming turned around with satisfaction and walked towards the depths of the cave.
Just as he walked to a distance of about ten-odd zhang from Huo Feng's side, Song Qingming suddenly felt a subtle spiritual power fluctuation emerge from a mountain wall in front of him.
Sensing that something was wrong, Song Qingming's face changed, and the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in his body immediately appeared beside him.
Before Song Qingming was ready to speak, a voice came from in front of him.
"Hehe! Unexpectedly, the Daoist's cultivation is not high, but your spiritual sense is not weak, actually being able to detect the place where I, the Chen Chen Laozu, am hiding so quickly."
Immediately following, from the mountain wall in front, a figure draped in a green robe suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Song Qingming looked closely and discovered that this person's cultivation had already reached the sixth layer of Jin Dan. Most of his face was covered by the green robe, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
Judging from the situation of this person hiding here alone, it did not look like the work of cultivators from other large sects; he should be a Jin Dan cultivator from a loose cultivator background.
At the moment, Huo Feng was fully healing and dispelling poison, and she certainly could not take action easily. Otherwise, once she suffered a backlash from the blood poison in her body again, the situation would probably be even worse.
Relying on Song Qingming alone, he also did not have much confidence that he could block the other party. He could only try to see if he could avoid a conflict with the other party.
"The two of us mistakenly entered this place and had no intention of disturbing Your Excellency. I ask that the Daoist not misunderstand."
Song Qingming glanced at Huo Feng, who was still fully dispelling the blood poison not far away, and took the initiative to explain to the green-robed person.
