Something’s wrong?
Su Mo looked at Bai Yun in confusion.
This was clearly the aura of an Evil Demon, and an extremely powerful one at that.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to emit such a dense aura.
What’s wrong about it?
Bai Yun explained, "This is indeed the aura of an Evil Demon, but it’s leaking from the Demon Venerable Burial Ground. It’s not being emitted by an Evil Demon."
"What?"
Su Mo said in surprise.
No wonder the Evil Demon’s aura was so dense.
So it was leaking from the Demon Venerable Burial Ground.
Bai Yun said excitedly, "This is a sign that the Demon Venerable Burial Ground is opening! Elder Su, let’s get going. We can’t be late."
The Demon Venerable Burial Ground holds countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and it only opens once every hundred years.
If we’re late, others will get there first.
"Really?"
Su Mo’s eyes lit up. He immediately led the members of the Xiao Family toward the place where the Demon Venerable Burial Ground was opening.
At that moment, all the Martial Artists in the small town poured out.
In the blink of an eye, the town became deserted.
Soon, Su Mo and the others arrived at a mountaintop, gazing at a portal not far away.
From the portal, the aura of an Evil Demon continuously seeped out.
Beside it were many spatial rifts, from which void storms would occasionally blow out.
BOOM!
A void storm blew out from a rift and landed on a mountain peak, which instantly exploded into dust.
This scene made everyone tremble in shock.
Liu Wuxie said with lingering fear, "Elder Bai, this portal doesn’t seem very stable."
"Of course not!"
Bai Yun explained, "The Demon Venerable Burial Ground was forced open by Mo Taishang and the others. The space is unstable, so naturally, many spatial rifts have formed."
With that, Bai Yun pointed to the horizon.
There were several spatial rifts there, all connected to the Demon Venerable Burial Ground.
Bai Yun said, "The powerful can enter the Demon Venerable Burial Ground through those spatial rifts, but there’s no telling where they’ll end up."
Liu Wuxie looked at the rifts with a terrified expression.
’Enter from those places?’
’That’s a death wish!’
Xiao Zhan grasped the key point. "So, you’re saying there’s more than one entrance to the Demon Venerable Burial Ground?"
"Correct!"
Bai Yun nodded.
Although forces from other Profound Domains are nominally forbidden from entering the Northern Profound Domain on a large scale, some will definitely use this opportunity to sneak in through the various spatial rifts.
Moreover, those who can pass through the spatial rifts are the strongest of the strong.
Su Mo, however, wasn’t worried in the slightest.
His target was the Burial Ground Blood Flower.
’If anyone dares to snatch my Burial Ground Blood Flower, I’ll slap them to death.’
Hmm?
Just then, someone rushed in ahead of the others.
However, just as the man entered the portal, he was spat back out, landing miserably on the ground and coughing up blood.
"A Martial Monarch?"
Liu Wuxie exclaimed in surprise.
Logically, a Martial Monarch shouldn’t be weak, yet he couldn’t even get through the portal.
However, this didn’t dampen the crowd’s enthusiasm.
"Let’s go!"
An old man flicked his sleeve, and a giant hand of energy enveloped his disciples, carrying them into the Demon Venerable Burial Ground.
The others quickly followed suit.
Xiao Lang suggested, "Young Master, we should go in too."
"Let’s go."
Su Mo nodded and led the members of the Xiao Family swaggering into the portal.
They were very lucky and didn’t encounter any spatial storms.
When they opened their eyes, they had arrived in a strange, new space.
All around them was black earth, as if it had been dyed with ink.
Evil Qi surged to the heavens.
"It’s so cold!"
Shi Lei shivered, hastily pulling out a fur coat to put on.
"Cold?"
Xiao Lang said, "I don’t feel anything."
Shi Lei was speechless. "If I were a freak like you Xiao Family members, I wouldn’t feel it either. Damn it, why is this Evil Qi drilling into my body?"
"I’m freezing to death, too."
Liu Wuxie said, his teeth chattering.
Xiao Lang gave Liu Wuxie and Shi Lei a strange look.
’Are these two that afraid of the cold?’
’Kidney deficiency?’
Just then, Chen Ge walked over. "Elder Su, I finally found you."
"Why are you here again?"
Su Mo looked at Chen Ge suspiciously, thinking, ’This guy is as persistent as a ghost. He just won’t go away.’
Several young men followed behind Chen Ge.
These men had all participated in the Holy Spirit Competition. The moment they saw Su Mo, they instinctively lowered their heads, appearing very fearful.
The impression Su Mo had left on them was simply too terrifying.
Chen Ge chuckled. "Elder Su, don’t look so displeased. I’ve come to bring you a fortuitous encounter."
"A fortuitous encounter?"
Su Mo looked astonished.
Chen Ge nodded. "Yes. I don’t know what kind of Treasure you’re looking for, Elder Su, but I know the locations. I can point you in the right direction."
"The Burial Ground Blood Flower!"
Su Mo said directly.
Chen Ge was surprised. "Isn’t that an item for blood sacrifices? What do you want that thing for? Don’t tell me... you want to become an Evil Demon?"
At these words, everyone jumped in fright and looked at Su Mo warily.
"None of your business!"
Su Mo was speechless. "If you know where it is, tell me. If you don’t, then get lost. Stop being so suspicious."
The Burial Ground Blood Flower was indeed an item for blood sacrifices.
A mature Burial Ground Blood Flower needed to be constantly irrigated with fresh blood for a hundred years.
It was something that could only be found in the Demon Venerable Burial Ground, a place teeming with Evil Demons.
"Alright, I won’t ask anymore!"
Chen Ge knew when to back down. "As far as I know, the Burial Ground Blood Flower is in the Bloody Mountain Range, deep within the Demon Venerable Burial Ground. That place is full of Evil Demons and monsters. It’s extremely dangerous. Elder Su, are you sure you want to go?"
"I have to go!"
Su Mo said decisively.
Without the Burial Ground Blood Flower, he couldn’t refine the Nine Dragon Venerable Pill and break through to the Martial Artist realm.
"Well..."
Chen Ge was at a loss for words.
He had originally wanted to adventure with Su Mo for a while, but since Su Mo was heading to such a dangerous place, he could only give up on the idea.
"Brother Chen, are there any Treasures that would suit me?"
Xiao Lang asked curiously.
Chen Ge quickly replied, "Yes, of course! I know of a Dan Immortal Pool. If you’re willing, you can come with me."
"The Dan Immortal Pool?"
Xiao Lang’s eyes lit up.
Chen Ge explained, "It’s the only place not contaminated by the Evil Demon’s aura. It can not only strengthen one’s physical body but also their Divine Soul. It’s the most suitable place for your Cultivation."
"Alright, I’ll go with you!"
Xiao Lang turned to look at Su Mo.
Su Mo waved his hand. "Go if you want to. It’s a good opportunity for you all to get some experience. You won’t get anywhere by always following me around."
"Young Master, I want to go too."
"Me too!"
"Is there Immortal Qi in the Dan Immortal Pool? If I absorb even a little, wouldn’t I become an immortal? No way, I have to go!"
The Xiao Family disciples all looked toward Su Mo.
Su Mo said helplessly, "Fine, you can all go. But someone must protect you. Let the Grand Elder and Elder Bai accompany you."
"This old man obeys!"
The Grand Elder and Bai Yun said respectfully.
Su Mo instructed, "Just protect them from the shadows. Don’t interfere when they fight with others, or they’ll never grow up."
"What if someone kills me?"
Xiao Wan asked, feeling wronged.
’Kills you?’
Chen Ge couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
’Who could possibly kill you?’
’Others should be burning incense and thanking their lucky stars that you don’t kill them.’
Shi Lei said, "Brother Liu and I will go along too. That way we can look out for each other. Besides, I’ve called for a few bodyguards."
"What bodyguards?"
Liu Wuxie asked.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Just then, three figures streaked over from the distance.
Shi Lei pointed at the three and said, "That’s them."
’Martial Kings?’
Liu Wuxie said in astonishment, "You actually hired three Martial Kings as your bodyguards?"
