Looking at the crowd on the ground rushing towards the giant red tree as if they were courting death.

Chu Luobai suddenly realized what was happening.

Qiu Jun, that old bastard, is setting a trap for himself; his methods are quite ruthless.

"Senior sister, I'll go down and stop them."

Although Qiu Lin did not know the origin of the giant red tree, he instinctively felt that he should not allow his people to get close to it.

"How many people can you stop by yourself?"

Chu Luobai circulated his spiritual energy, pouring a large amount of spiritual energy into Lingxiao, which then transformed into a sharp sword aura.

The sword energy slashed towards the people below.

Watching this scene from a distance, Qiu Jun smiled slightly.

The white sword energy landed just in front of the fastest runner.

A deep crack was instantly slashed into the ground.

Bang!

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The fast-moving crowd couldn't stop in time and fell into the deep pit one by one, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

"Although he is only a disciple, his alertness is quite good."

Seeing that the sword energy did not directly strike the mortals, Qiu Jun's face showed obvious disappointment.

"Old fox."

Chu Luo glanced at him dismissively and whispered to Qiu Lin.

“We can hold them off for now. Go check out that sedan chair. These mortals are of unknown origin and must be related to that sedan chair.”

"I'll find a way to wait for you here, Qiu Jun."

Qiu Lin felt somewhat unwilling, but he also knew very well that with his current strength, he had no way to resolve the situation.

"Yes, I'll go check out the situation. I'll do anything to save Qiu Guo."

After saying that, Qiu Lin gave Qiu Jun a deep look and flew towards the sedan chair.

"Hmm? He can still stay calm at crucial moments. I'm actually a little reluctant to use his blood for the sacrifice."

Qiu Jun watched Qiu Lin's resolute back and couldn't help but sigh.

His gaze then fell on Chu Luobai, and he said with a half-smile.

"Do you really think you can stop these people with just a small ditch?"

"They will always return to Mother Tree's embrace; you can't stop them unless..."

"You killed them."

Chu Luobai stared at the mortals below who were trying to climb out of the deep ditch, pondering deeply.

A moment later, she touched the ring on her finger.

With a flash of light, a white, lustrous bead fell into Chu Luobai's left palm.

She brought her right index and middle fingers together and lightly touched the beads.

Spiritual energy flowed from her fingertips into the bead, activating the two talismans embedded within it.

Chu Luobai flicked her wrist, and the spiritual energy at her fingertips drew up a white light, with mysterious runes constantly appearing at her fingertips.

The bead began to vibrate continuously, and as the runes continued to penetrate it, the color of the bead began to change.

It gradually turned from white to gray.

As the last rune disappeared into the bead, the entire bead turned black.

Chu Luobai exerted a little force with her left hand, and the bead shattered instantly in her hand.

Qiu Jun watched Chu Luobai's actions from a distance, with no intention of making a move.

What trouble could a mere disciple from a small sect possibly cause?

When faced with disciples who like to resist, Qiu Jun prefers to manipulate them rather than simply eliminating them.

Watching them gradually lose their fighting spirit, unable to live or die.

The so-called righteous path refers to cultivators who absorb the pure energy of heaven and earth and transform it into their own spiritual power.

These righteous cultivators should not attack ordinary people.

Once these cultivators kill mortals, they will inevitably become tainted with human blood and energy.

If one absorbs too much of the life force of the human world, one will fall into the demonic path.

Now, any mortals who get close to the Tree Mother will be absorbed and become nutrients that make the Tree Mother powerful.

They wanted to stop these mortals who had been completely brainwashed.

Qiu Jun looked up at Chu Luobai, his eyes full of mockery.

What else can a sword cultivator who focuses on killing do if he doesn't kill everyone and fall into the demonic path?

Chu Luobai stared at the broken beads in his hand, and a golden light gradually rose.

Immediately, a vortex appeared in the void.

The vortex expanded rapidly, and a figure emerged from it.

"You actually found a helper."

Qiu Jun's eyes were deep as he raised his hand and unleashed a blood sacrifice, causing several vines to sprout from the tree.

The vines split into two groups, one attacking Chu Luobai and the other rushing towards the mortals on the ground.

"Helpers or mortals, which side do you plan to help?"

..............................................................

a moment ago.

Gu Lin, who was rushing towards Qiu Kingdom using a flying artifact, was shocked when he saw the sky in the distance that was dyed red.

Within the blinding red light, Gu Lin could vaguely see a blurry tree shadow.

He immediately thought of the legend of the Blood God Tree on the southern border.

"Senior brother, that's the capital of Qiu Kingdom over there. I hope Chu Luobai and the others won't get into trouble."

Xiao Lin was unaware of the rumors surrounding the Blood God Tree, and couldn't help but feel worried.

Gu Lin circulated his spiritual power, just about to increase the speed of the magical artifact's flight.

The next second, a golden vortex appeared from the bottom of his feet.

Before Gu Lin could react, he had already vanished from the spot.

"Brother!"

Xiao Lin's eyes widened, and he only had time to shout once.

"Who is responsible for the designated teleportation array?!"

Gu Lin had never been so surprised in all these years.

He subconsciously lit up the talisman, and after the darkness passed, he saw a familiar face just as he was about to make a move.

"Chu Luobai? Why...?"

"Form ranks! Hold them off!"

Before they could even ask, Chu Luobai shouted.

The red vines that attacked him were severed by Chu Luobai's sword!

Gu Lin subconsciously formed an array, and a white wall of light fell to the ground.

Boom!

On either side of the wall of light, mortals and red vines collided with it.

Several talismans rose into the air and affixed to the white wall of light.

"Array, get up!"

As Gu Lin spoke, the white light wall instantly extended outwards.

The two walls of light connected to form a circular array that encircled the entire palace.

Outside the formation, the mortals seemed to have gone mad, constantly ramming their bodies against the light wall of the formation.

"As expected of a prodigy who is rare in the history of the Talisman Sect, but I actually intended for you to form an array to trap those mortals."

Chu Luobai gave Gu Lin a thumbs up.

"Anyway, the goal is to separate the blood vine from mortals. It doesn't matter who gets trapped, right?"

Gu Lin shrugged, somewhat helplessly.

"I was asked to form an array as soon as I arrived. It's already quite good that I was able to react in time. Please don't be too demanding of me, Great Sword Immortal Chu."

That familiar tone made Chu Luobai feel as if she had returned to the time when she was familiar with Gu Lin in her previous life.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, do you recognize this?"

Chu Luobai pointed to the Blood Sacrifice Tree behind her and asked, "According to Gu Lin from my previous life, he should be investigating this thing right now."

Gu Lin then realized what was happening, followed Chu Luobai's fingertip, and was startled.

"This is... the Blood God Tree of Southern Xinjiang?"
