"I didn't expect a true immortal to pursue us like a mad dog. But rest assured, as long as the elixir lasts, he won't be able to harm us either." Upon hearing this, the Six-Winged one opened his eyes, speaking with a touch of resentment. "That's because your earlier words greatly stirred him—he now holds you in deep resentment, which is why he's so determined to chase us." The Ice Phoenix sniffed, commenting. "What do you know? If it weren't for my words causing you to lose your composure, how would you have even had the chance to cast your secret technique and gain distance? If all else fails, we'll have to leave this continent and return to Fengyuan. I simply don't believe he'll keep chasing us all the way to other continents." The Six-Winged one replied coldly. "Leaving Blood Sky is indeed a sound strategy. A true immortal coming to Blood Sky must have a specific matter at hand. Once I escape back to Fengyuan, with his concerns in mind, he may well stop pursuing us." Upon hearing this, the Ice Phoenix brightened, her eyes gleaming. "Then it would indeed be ideal." Six-wing nodded gravely. Thus, after resting for half a day, the three of them dared not remain deep within the mountain and, transforming into two streaks of dazzling light, surged out of the small mountain, continuing their journey of escape. But this time, as the two figures' light glimmers had only just completed a circular motion in the sky, sudden waves of disturbance rippled outward, and in a flash, four faint human silhouettes emerged, radiating an overwhelmingly terrifying aura. Six-wing and his companion were startled, immediately drawing back their light glimmers to reveal their forms, and hovering motionless in the sky, gazing intently at the four newcomers. They observed that the four wore varied attire—two men and two women—and each clearly possessed the qualifications of a Great Immortal. "Good morning, esteemed friends," Six-wing said, narrowing his eyes, "What is your intention? Have you come specifically to meet us?" "Yes, it is indeed Six-wing, isn't it?" said a young man dressed in a crimson robe, his face pale and somewhat eerie. "We have been waiting specifically for you." "Oh," said Six-wing, "you truly recognize "I've never offended any of my peers at Xue Tian, have I?" Six-wings' expression slightly stirred, yet he spoke coldly. "Do not misunderstand, this visit is not to bring any trouble to you. It's merely to request a small favor from Six-Wings." The man with a green face replied with a half-smile. "A favor! Have you ever heard of asking someone to help like this? What if I refuse?" Six-wings had been simmering with frustration ever since he'd been relentlessly pursued. Seeing now that these four Xue Tian's late-stage cultivators came with an air of hostility, he could no longer suppress his rising wrath, flashing a fierce glare and bellowed. Should these people fail to offer him a satisfactory answer, he might very well rise to fight them immediately. After all, with his powerful elusiveness, even if he were to fall short against the combined strength of these four, he would still be able to escape with the Ice Phoenix easily. "Six-Wings, please don't be alarmed. The favor we're asking you to render is not only highly beneficial to us, but also truly serves your own interests." Is it true that your six-winged companion has been continuously pursued lately?" The man with a green face remained utterly composed, instead calmly posing the question. "What do you mean by that?" Six wings was startled, and the faint grimness on his face vanished entirely. "It's simple—we ask your companion to guide the one who has been chasing him to a specific location. As soon as he reaches that place, he will have no chance to return. Isn't that a mutually beneficial arrangement?" The man with a green face said calmly. "You intend to ambush him?" Six wings was genuinely surprised. "Indeed, that is our intention. However, to achieve this, your two companions must assist us in some way." The man with a green face admitted openly. The ice phoenix, listening nearby, was deeply astonished. "Do you know who the pursuers are? Just with these four of us?" Six wings remained puzzled, only finally breaking into a cold laugh after a moment of hesitation. "Who says only these four of us are involved?" Hehe, regardless of who this person is, as long as he dares to carry out such a blood sacrifice involving hundreds of millions of souls on our Blood Sky Continent, even if a true Immortal descends from the heavens, he won't make it out alive this time. The man with the green face spoke with a touch of pride. Ha ha, excellent! Very good. With your words here, I hereby accept your request. The six-winged being burst into hearty laughter and immediately agreed. Though the man with the green face found the six-winged being's demeanor slightly odd, once he heard that the latter had firmly committed to helping, he didn't feel the need to dwell on it further. With a wave of his sleeve, a jade scroll soared across to the other side. "The scroll contains the precise location where the ferocious demon will be drawn. As long as he is guided there, he will surely meet a certain death. I have full confidence that the six-winged being will not let us down." The man with the green face spoke with evident intention. Rest assured. Even if it's merely for my own life, I won't fail in this task. "Six Wings regained his usual composure, took the jade scroll with a steady hand, and replied calmly. "Well, then, I shall wish you all the best. We four have other matters to attend to, so we shall be off now." The man with a green face nodded and bowed respectfully. "As for the words just now—'Even if a true immortal descends, he won't make it off the Blood Sky Continent'—they must have prepared ample contingency plans, given how bold they were. Yet they never expected to face a true immortal. That's fortunate. If they dare to use me as bait, let them fight it out until both are exhausted." Six-Winged smiled with a touch of scorn. "What if that mad immortal from the Celestial Realm breaks through the ambush? He surely wouldn't fail to see the trap. Once enraged, he'll no longer pursue us in that patient, cat-and-mouse fashion. If he truly commits himself, our situation will be far worse than it is now." Ice Phoenix pondered, still expressing concern. "I've thought this over as well. Even if he is a true immortal, he's one whose powers have been largely sealed." Under such unexpected assaults from so many Mahayana disciples, even if he possessed boundless strength and managed to break through the encirclement, he would surely suffer tremendous exhaustion. In this condition, merely recovering would take an indeterminate amount of time—how could he possibly spare the energy to pursue us? Thus, this unforeseen opportunity, born of careful planning yet unanticipated by us, presents the perfect chance for us to escape their pursuit. It is absolutely worth taking some risks to seize it." Six Wings spoke with a subtle smile of contempt. This time, Ice Phoenix seemed completely convinced, and after a moment's thought, finally nodded in agreement. "Very well. Since you're on board, I'll first check where they've set up their ambush." As he spoke, Six Wings placed the jade scroll against his forehead and delved his divine awareness into it. "Come on. I now know the location. That madman from the Immortal Realm is likely nearing this very spot as well." Upon lifting the scroll, Six Wings immediately declared without hesitation and took the lead, ascending into the air and swiftly moving forward as a streak of brilliant light. After taking a deep breath, the ice phoenix rolled onto the ground and instantly transformed into a shimmering ice phoenix, trailing behind. High in the sky, at a distance not far off, a seemingly slender young man in a black robe was calmly steering a vibrant cloud toward the same direction. "Don't worry. According to the Blood Sky Map, the entrance to Xiao Ling Tian is no longer on the Blood Sky Continent—it's deep within the ocean, far from the mainland." Han Li recalled the entire map of the Blood Sky Continent and compared it with the new coordinates he had obtained, frowning slightly. "Deep in the ocean? That entrance must be difficult to locate," Alu Guo said, startled by this news. "Rest assured—I had anticipated such a situation. Huashi, you'll need to exert yourself more than usual." Han Li smiled gently and turned to the elder Huashi, who stood by, motionless, and gave a simple command. "Master Han, please rest assured. For us, the underwater realm is as familiar as land. I will handle the search for the entrance." Huashi respectfully replied. Satisfied with this, Han Li nodded and then rolled a glow of light across his body, lifting himself and the other two into the sky. After a few flashes, they arrived at the great vessel. A moment later, the black giant vessel hesitated slightly, then surged forward with a resonant hum. …… Seven days later, in a desert so secluded it was nearly invisible, a man wearing a mask stood on a dune, arms folded, gazing coldly toward the sky. Below the dune, however, the ground had already been magically excavated, and thousands of blood-path elite disciples stood densely arranged, silent and motionless. At their gathering point, a colossal magical array spanning nearly half the desert had been fully inscribed, embedded with thousands of premium spiritual stones, and a group of special disciples, each holding an array console, sat quietly at the vicinity of various array focal points. In the vast expanse of the sky, where the heavens appeared shrouded in endless clouds, another superlative luminous array had also been fully prepared, yet it was completely concealed by an intricate, intangible restriction. Within this luminous array, several blood-heaven cultivators of the Grand Attainment stage remained patiently waiting for something.
