The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Afterwards, He Lian'er took heavy steps and slowly walked towards one of the stone chambers.

When the stone door slowly opened, the scene before her was extremely strange.

The layout of the stone chamber was extremely simple, even crude. Apart from a worn-out, dusty cushion, there was no other object.

This minimalist style forms a sharp contrast with the intricate, gorgeous, elegant and exquisite layout of the hall outside, as if they were two completely different worlds.

He Lian'er stood quietly at the door, staring at everything in the room, her eyes becoming increasingly deep and gloomy.

Thinking about what she was going to face next, she felt more and more resentful towards the owner of the Shadow Tower.

As she moved her footsteps, she stepped into the stone chamber and walked straight to the open space in the center of the stone chamber.

He Lian'er just lightly pinched her fingers and a mysterious magic power instantly surged out and hit the ground.

In an instant, the originally empty ground disappeared without a trace, revealing a tunnel entrance hidden underneath. It was obvious that some kind of illusion had just been set up here.

He Lianer slowly walked into the tunnel, and her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Time passed minute by minute, and she didn't know how long it had been before a huge cave finally appeared in front of her.

However, the environment in this cave is really spectacular and terrifying.

The cave was filled with piles of corpses, which was horrifying.

And on the dome of the cave, there was a blood-red gourd hanging.

Countless slender and twisted tentacles extended from the mouth of the gourd. These tentacles, like poisonous snakes, tightly wrapped around the corpse on the ground, as if they were greedily absorbing some nutrients.

The whole scene seemed weird and eerie, making people shudder.

"Oh? You're finally back, but have you captured that Skyroc?"

A sharp, piercing and uncomfortable voice suddenly sounded in this quiet and silent environment.

The sound came from a gourd hanging from the top of the cave.

"It failed. The monster didn't fall for it and begs the master to take action." He Lian'er knelt on the ground and answered respectfully.

After saying this, He Lian'er's body suddenly changed at an astonishing speed.

The skin, which was originally as delicate and fair as white jade, was instantly dyed into a blood-red color, and the entire exposed skin appeared bright red.

"You actually want me to take action? What use do you have?"

Following an angry roar from the gourd, He Lian'er, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately began to tremble all over.

The next moment, she let out a heart-wrenching scream and then collapsed to the ground. Her bloody face became distorted and hideous due to extreme pain.

"Master... Master, please spare my life. The leader of the Blood Sea Sect is dead... Now I am the only one who can help you... Please spare my life!"

It seemed that He Lian'er's begging for mercy worked, and the heart-wrenching pain in her body finally gradually eased.

Whoosh!

At this time, He Lian'er's body was completely pressed against the cold ground, her chest heaving violently, and she was breathing heavily, as if she had just experienced a life-and-death struggle.

After a long while, she managed to prop herself up and stood up shakily. However, not long after she stood up, her legs softened and she knelt down.

"Master... I successfully lured that evildoer into the cave last time. I had planned to trick him into staying here for a few days, and then wait for you to come and devour him."

"But the evildoer didn't fall for it at all and just left."

"No matter how I tried to persuade him, he refused to come again. He even refused me many times. It was not until today that I found out that the evildoer already had a partner."

"This evildoer has endless tricks and is impossible to seduce. I really have no other choice but to ask the master to do it himself."

As He Lian'er spoke, her body trembled slightly. She seemed very afraid of being punished again, so she recounted the whole incident in detail, not daring to leave out anything.

The voice in the gourd just kept listening and didn't interrupt her.

After He Lian'er finished explaining all the details, the mysterious owner of the gourd finally asked:

"So, where is that evildoer now?"

Hearing this question, He Lian'er was as if she had been pardoned, and hurriedly replied:

"Reporting to the master, the evildoer is currently repairing the ascension platform in the Ascension Valley. He is the only one there now, and the other Divine Transformation cultivators have been driven away. This evildoer wants to repair the ascension platform by himself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tentacles that stretched out from the gourd quickly retracted back into the gourd.

"Then take me there."

As the words fell, the gourd suddenly flew towards He Lian'er.

Moreover, during the flight, the gourd was slowly getting smaller.

By the time it flew in front of He Lian'er, the gourd that was originally as big as a person had become the size of a palm.

Seeing this, He Lian'er immediately reached out and caught it.

"If we can win... it will also be beneficial to me. Maybe I can even regain my freedom!"

Thinking so in her heart, He Lian'er held the gourd with an extremely respectful expression, turned around and returned to the tunnel.

In the gourd.

The entire space inside is extremely vast, as if there is no end in sight.

A huge blood-red crystal was hanging in the sky, shining with dazzling red light like a bright ruby. It became the only light source in this space, bringing a faint light to the originally dark environment.

However, even with this ray of light, the entire space was still dim and filled with a strong smell of blood, making people feel endless depression and fear.

Below this space is a bottomless and boundless pool of blood, flowing violently, forming a huge and terrifying sea of ​​blood.

The blood had a strange dark red hue, as if it contained endless evil and curses.

Whenever the blood gushed out, it would make waves of creepy sounds, as if countless wronged souls were wailing and crying, which made people shudder.

At this moment, a huge figure is slowly emerging from the blood.

It was a bloody head, and his upper body looked no different from that of a human.

However, his lower body was like a worm, with a tail made up of segments of flesh.

The tail is covered with tentacles, which are exactly the same as those that just stretched out from the gourd.

The strange creature in front of him was exactly the master that He Lian'er had mentioned.

This image is very similar to the "Blood Demon" from outer space that Li Qing had seen before, except for the lower body.

Xue Wuliang was hovering on the scarlet sea of ​​blood as if he was walking on flat ground. He was tall, his lower body was strange and twisted, and he exuded a strong bloody smell.

At this moment, he was tightly holding a blood-colored crystal in his hand. The crystal exuded a strong aura of Tianpeng, which made his eyes flash with greed.

"As long as I swallow this Sky Peng, my injuries will be mostly recovered!" Xue Wuliang murmured to himself in a low voice, his voice revealing an irrepressible desire.

He stretched out his long tongue and gently licked the blood-colored crystal, as if he had already tasted the delicious flavor of Tianpeng.

As he licked, a liquid like blood actually flowed from the corner of his mouth, dripping into the sea of ​​blood, splashing scarlet ripples.
