After hearing the words that the Qiling White Crane conveyed in his mind, Shen Xu couldn't help but recall the scene he had perceived through the Blood Intent, and immediately felt that the words spoken by the Qiling White Crane were highly credible.
He felt that what was chained up was the True Blood Palace, not the World Spirit within it, and that the enormous blood beast that blotted out the sky was probably the fusion of many Blood Saints. No wonder it almost killed him with just a glimpse of it!
"But how do we get back after killing the World Spirit?" Shen Xu couldn't help but ask.
"Lord Dongling can help us," Qiling Baihe replied.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell the human saints on the True Origin Continent about the True Blood Heavenly Palace's activities in the Blood Central Realm when I get back?" Shen Xu asked seriously.
"I have already contacted Tushan through the True Spirit Blood Stele and told the clan leader the location of the True Blood Heavenly Palace. I estimate that a powerful demon will arrive soon, and you won't have time to inform him." At this moment, Tushan Chuchu's voice suddenly entered his mind.
Upon hearing Tu Shan Chuchu's words, Shen Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that he was to kill the combined entity of the Realm Spirit and many Blood Saints!
"So what we need to do now is just wait for the arrival of the powerful demons, right?" Shen Xu asked with a smile.
Come to think of it, with his meager cultivation level, he wouldn't even be enough to feed them a single dish!
"It's too late. Unfortunately, some of the authority controlled by those Blood Saints is the True Blood Path of the Fox Clan. They have probably already discovered our existence and are preparing to fight to the death like cornered beasts."
Moreover, the help it brought this time is even stronger than the last one. Lord Dongling is in great danger now, and we must get to Lord Dongling's side as soon as possible!" Tu Shan Chuchu's tone was somewhat urgent.
"Help? Last time?" Li Xiaoyi's image suddenly flashed into Shen Xu's mind.
It seems that Huo Yan and Li Xiaoyi were both deceived by the spirit of the Blood Central Realm.
However, it is also possible that the Eastern Spirit Lord mentioned by the White Crane is lying, and the answer Li Xiaoyi received from the Realm Spirit is the truth of history.
Shen Xu fell into deep thought, but he quickly made a decision: he had to see Li Xiaoyi no matter what. If what Qi Ling Baihe said was true, then Li Xiaoyi was in great danger, and the scene in his mind seemed to confirm what Qi Ling Baihe had said.
Most importantly, the powerful demons will soon arrive in the Blood Central Realm, and he can no longer disembark from the pirate ship. Fortunately, the pirate ship he boarded is the bigger one!
"Senior, I might know that helper, Qi Lingbaihe. I want to go and meet her. Maybe she's not our enemy."
"Shen Xu, you mean the helper the Realm Spirit found is Xiao Yi? But how could she possibly get in? Except for special cases like our clan, the True Blood Heavenly Palace doesn't allow outsiders to enter." Qi Ling Baihe was immediately shocked.
"I don't know how she got in, but I'm sure she's already in."
“That’s not appropriate. She’s still with the Realm Spirit. It would be suspicious for you to go there now, and you can’t explain how you entered the True Blood Heavenly Palace. You’ll be in great danger then.” Tu Shan Chuchu’s voice carried an undeniable force.
“I can choose not to see her, but you must promise not to hurt her. I think she has been deceived by those Blood Saints.”
"I cannot make such a guarantee. If Lord Dongling is killed, then even if the saints of the demon race come to the Blood Central Realm, it will be of no use. The True Blood Heavenly Palace will be taken over by the Blood Race, and the entire void will be plunged into turmoil. I hope you understand the seriousness of the matter."
“She possesses a spiritual treasure and is also a disciple of a sword saint. I don’t think you, senior, are entirely confident of defeating her!” Shen Xu said in a deep voice.
"Lingbao! She is indeed a great threat. Are you confident you can get her to stand on our side?"
"I'm not sure. She's not someone who's easily swayed by others, but I want to give it a try and gather some information along the way."
"What do you plan to do?" Tu Shan Chuchu raised her small head but only saw Shen Xu's chin.
Shen Xu's gaze fell on the white crane on his shoulder.
"Shen Xu, why are you looking at me like that?" Qi Lingbaihe asked, somewhat puzzled.
"There's something I'm afraid I need your help with!"
……
Following He Yu, who was possessed by the spirit of the realm, their footsteps echoed in the empty passage. However, her attention was not on the road in front of her, but on communicating with Yun Yao.
"Sister Yunyao, what do you think of the World Spirit's explanation?"
"There are some doubts. First, why did the True Blood Palace hit the gate of the Blood Central Realm so accurately? If the demon race did this on purpose, then they have too much confidence in the sturdiness of the True Blood Palace. They can even do something like hitting a stone with a gemstone."
Secondly, the spiritual blood within the True Blood Heavenly Palace was stored there by various demon races for their continuation and future. The spirit of the True Blood Heavenly Palace probably doesn't have the authority to distribute their spiritual blood to the human race in the Blood Central Realm without authorization.
Finally, given the reputation of the True Blood Heavenly Palace in the void, even if its artifact spirit was severely weakened, it was not something a mere realm spirit could provoke, let alone one that had been entangled with the artifact spirit of the True Blood Heavenly Palace for thousands of years.
"This kind of talk can only fool a hot-blooded, inexperienced girl like Huo Yan," Yun Yao scoffed.
"Then why is it lying? What is it trying to hide? And should we help it?" Li Xiaoyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"It's probably the only thing in the Blood Central Realm that can send you back to the True Origin Continent, but it's unreliable, so it's quite difficult."
"But since it's blaming everything on the spirit of the True Blood Heavenly Palace, let's go with it and have a chat with the spirit of the True Blood Heavenly Palace," Yun Yao said with a smile.
Just then, Li Xiaoyi suddenly heard the cry of a crane. She immediately withdrew her consciousness from the jade hairpin Yun Yao and turned around to look behind her.
The white crane flew from the passage behind her to her side and then slowly landed on her shoulder. Li Xiaoyi was stunned when she felt the weight on her shoulder. In the past, the white crane would only stand on Shen Xu's shoulder.
Even though it only briefly stopped above her head last time in Peach Blossom Village before flying away immediately, what did it encounter this time that made it so affectionate towards her?
The scene before him caused the spirit of the realm to stop in his tracks. He knew from the crane's memory that the white crane in front of him should be recognized by a man, but why would it come to find Li Xiaoyi?
The white crane used its wings to point in a direction for Li Xiaoyi, indicating that she should go there.
Seeing the behavior of the Qiling White Crane, Li Xiaoyi was immediately puzzled, and then looked at the crane feathers in front of him.
"There are priorities, so we should take care of the important matters first," the Realm Spirit said slowly.
The White Crane looked at Crane Feather with some confusion. It didn't understand why Crane Feather seemed like a different person, but it quickly realized that Crane Feather was probably also part of the World Spirit's scheme.
Thinking of this, the white crane cried out anxiously and pointed in the same direction again.
“I think you’d better be careful. The True Blood Palace has a great influence over demonic beasts. It’s possible that this white crane has already been controlled by the True Blood Palace. That direction is likely a trap set by the True Blood Palace for us,” the Realm Spirit said quietly.
