The number of black insects is decreasing.

The once densely packed black walls have transformed into a sparse sea of ​​insects.

Now, only a small portion remains, like mosquitoes gathering in the mountains at night.

The buzzing sound of the wings flapping annoyed Chu Luobai.

She channeled her spiritual power into the Lingxiao Longsword, causing the sword energy to vibrate and instantly fill the sky with sword light.

Countless black insects landed on the ground, and this patch of land above the sea of ​​flowers became eerily silent once again.

Just as Chu Luobai was about to continue investigating, a clear bell sound suddenly rang out.

jingle.

The sound was too crisp and ethereal, completely out of place amidst the sea of ​​blood-red flowers.

"The sound of bells?"

Chu Luobai lowered his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

She hadn't noticed the sound of bells in the sea of ​​flowers before.

jingle.

jingle.

jingle.

Before Chu Luobai could get close to the source of the sound, the sound of the bell shaking became noisy.

It looked as if countless bells were suspended on the same line, constantly swaying.

"Red line?"

Chu Luobai looked down at the bell ringing from her feet; the bronze bell was hanging on a red line.

The tip of the sword gently tugged at the red thread.

Ring... Ring... Ring...

The sound of the bells ringing gradually increased as they moved from near to far.

"this..."

Chu Luobai couldn't help but frown.

She hadn't seen this thing before when she was exploring.

Could it be that it just appeared?

Chu Luobai immediately released his divine sense to survey his surroundings.

After confirming that she had not entered a hallucination, she couldn't help but squat down and begin to examine the bells closely.

There was no spiritual power on the bell; it was just an ordinary bell that could ring.

There appears to be no danger.

If it were anywhere else, Chu Luobai wouldn't even give it a second glance.

But precisely within this Immortal Fall Secret Realm...

In such places, the most ordinary things are often the most terrifying.

These bells...

puff.

The tip of the sword sliced ​​through the air.

That seemingly extremely fragile red line could not be severed by the sword blade reinforced by Chu Luobai's spiritual power!

"A magic weapon? Or..."

Chu Luobai's gaze darkened slightly as he looked up at the sky.

The opening she made in the flight restriction has been repaired.

Such a rapid recovery left Chu Luobai speechless with astonishment.

"The secret realm that can be called 'the place where immortals perish' truly lives up to its name."

Just as Chu Luobai was pondering whether he should fly into the air again to check the surrounding situation.

A familiar voice suddenly rang out behind Chu Luobai.

Chu Luobai frowned slightly involuntarily; she hadn't sensed any presence approaching.

"Senior sister, long time no see."

The moment Chu Luobai turned around, she saw her junior brother, Jiang Yuzhe, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Why did you come to such a dangerous place alone without calling me?"

Jiang Yuzhe had a very gentle smile on his face, dressed in white like snow.

His figure overlapped with that of the genius swordsman of the Qingyun Sword Sect in his previous life, who was supported by thousands of cultivators.

"An illusion...?"

Chu Luobai's eyes flickered slightly, her mind filled with doubt.

In principle, the formation of any illusion is accompanied by fluctuations in spiritual energy.

However, Chu Luobai did not detect any fluctuations of spiritual energy in this area.

"How on earth is it done?"

"What are you saying, Senior Sister? This place is dangerous. Your cultivation is not high enough. Please don't take such risks again and make me worry."

Jiang Yuzhe, still smiling, reached out and walked towards Chu Luobai.

Before he could even get close, a long sword had already pierced through his chest.

"Senior sister, why?"

Jiang Yuzhe looked at the long sword in his chest, then stared at Chu Luobai with disbelief.

There seemed to be tears glistening in his eyes, and he had an expression of utter grief and betrayal.

"With my current cultivation level, I could kill you ten times over."

Chu Luobai sheathed her sword with a cold expression.

After a long absence, she once again felt murderous intent towards Jiang Yuzhe.

Previously, within the sect, Chu Luobai saw that both Zhao Jingren and Qiu Lin had the idea of ​​avenging her, so she delayed her decision to deal with Jiang Yuzhe.

Seeing this person again now, Chu Luobai's old anger surged up once more.

The moment the longsword left his body, Jiang Yuzhe's wounds began to emit specks of fluorescent light, which gradually dissipated into the air.

"Well done, Chu Luobai."

Just as Chu Luobai breathed a sigh of relief, a familiar voice came from behind him again.

"Zhao Jingren?"

Chu Luobai turned around and, as expected, saw the person she had anticipated.

"Why are you joining in this fun?"

“This place is too dangerous. As your fellow Daoist, it is only natural that I should protect your safety.”

Zhao Jingren shrugged, his tone unusually gentle, even carrying a hint of doting.

"you..."

Before he could speak again, an extremely sharp sword light cleaved him in two from above.

Chu Luobai couldn't help but lower her head, gently rubbing her brow with her fingertips.

"That kid never speaks human language."

"Fellow Daoist Chu."

The familiar voice rang out again, and in that instant, Chu Luobai felt a headache coming on.

She stood still, then turned around once more.

Behind him, Gu Lin was looking at Chu Luobai, about to say something, when he was cut in half by a sword aura.

Like Jiang Yuzhe, his body and mind gradually dissipated.

"A formation that can read people's minds?"

Chu Luobai muttered to himself, channeling his spiritual power into the Lingxiao sword in his hand, before the sword sank into the ground.

The sword energy exploded underground, instantly cracking the ground.

From within the crack, countless red lights shone, intertwining with the white sword light.

Jingle bell, jingle bell.

Countless bells rang at once.

boom!

Suddenly, the ground in the very center of the flower field rose up, and a dark shadow burst through the ground.

Chu Luobai quickly retreated to the edge of the sea of ​​flowers, carefully observing the enormous creature that had suddenly appeared.

She had guessed beforehand that there was something beneath the flower sea.

But she never imagined it would be like this...

A giant manjusaka flower bloomed from the ground, with black, vine-like objects wrapped around it.

Countless corpses were also entangled with those black figures on the stem of the Manjusaka flower, forming a twisted tree.

The vibrant red flowers blooming at the very top contrasted sharply with the corpses below.

The ends of the vines writhed incessantly, as if they were about to attack Chu Luobai at any moment.

A red thread had emerged from the head of each corpse, running through the flower at the top.

It's like the soil nourishing the Manjuscarida little by little.

The red line was so vibrant that from a distance it looked like thin streams of blood.

Chu Luobai stared at the horrific scene, his eyes filled with shock.

"This is... the Blood Path?!"
