I have the face of a great demon.

Meiying'er was restrained by the great demon and could not move. She could only watch helplessly as everything happened before her eyes.

She still clung to a sliver of hope, wishing that the demonic cultivators on patrol would realize what was happening and quickly report the news.

However, what happened next completely chilled her heart.

Just as she was attacked, a complex array pattern appeared beneath the feet of the patrolling demon cultivators. The pattern quickly spread out, enveloping them all.

Before the patrolling demonic cultivators could react, they were trapped by the formation, each one frozen in place, unable to move.

"An array? They've set up an array?" Mei Ying'er was shocked, and a hint of despair flashed in her eyes.

Liu Qingfeng, Ye Sisi, and Monk Zhizhang also jumped up from the ground and charged towards the demonic cultivators who were trapped by the formation.

"You demonic cultivators, who have committed countless evil deeds, today is your doomsday!" Liu Qingfeng's sword flashed like a dragon, swiftly reaping the lives of the demonic cultivators.

Ye Sisi gripped her longsword tightly, a cold glint in her eyes: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and do it, lest things get complicated."

The monk Zhizhang put his hands together, murmured "Amitabha," and then joined the battle.

The demonic cultivators on patrol were trapped by the formation and had no strength to resist. They could only watch helplessly as Liu Qingfeng and the others rushed over and dealt with them one by one like harvesting straw.

As Mei Ying'er watched this scene, her heart turned ice-cold.

She had originally hoped that these patrolling demonic cultivators would report the news, but to her surprise, they were wiped out before they even had a chance to resist.

"It's over... This time, we don't even have a messenger left..." Meiying thought desperately, her eyes filled with fear.

She had intended to grab Tiezhu and lure the great demon into a trap, but instead, she had let the wolf into the house, and now she was in the great demon's hands.

It's all over.

Liu Xingchen, disguised as the great demon, stared coldly at Meiying'er, as if he could penetrate her soul, and asked with unquestionable majesty, "Meiying'er, where is Tiezhu?"

The powerful pressure made it almost impossible for Mei Ying'er to breathe, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

She gritted her teeth, trying to resist, but ultimately gave in and whispered, "Tiezhu... is locked up in the Blood Pool Hall."

"The Blood Pool Hall?" The great demon's voice carried a hint of sarcasm. "You demonic cultivators' methods are all the same."

Meiying lowered her head, not daring to look the great demon in the eye, but a glimmer of hope secretly ignited in her heart.

"There are traps set by the Demon Lord in the Blood Pool Hall. As long as the Great Demon enters, he will definitely fall into them! Then, I will have a chance to escape!"

The great demon seemed to see through her thoughts, and sneered, his tone carrying a hint of threat: "Take me there."

Meiying'er's heart trembled, but on the surface she dared not disobey in the slightest and could only nod obediently: "Yes."

So, Mei Ying'er led the way, with Liu Xingchen, disguised as the Great Demon Lord, following behind her, followed closely by Liu Qingfeng, Tie Zhu, Ye Sisi, and the monk Zhizhang. The group escorted Mei Ying'er towards the Blood Pool Hall.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the Blood Pool Hall. Meiying'er stopped, pointed to the hall's door, and whispered, "Tiezhu is inside."

The great demon gave her a cold look, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Phantom, you'd better not try anything funny."

"I wouldn't dare, my lord." Mei Ying'er quickly lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly, but secretly hoping, "Great Demon, please go in, please go in! Once you go in, you're finished!"

Unexpectedly, the great demon pointed at Meiying'er and said, "You come in with me."

Meiying'er secretly groaned, but had no choice but to comply.

After arranging for Liu Qingfeng and others to wait outside the door, Liu Xingchen, with Meiying'er in tow, pushed open the door of the main hall and stepped inside.

Inside the Blood Pool Hall, the atmosphere was gloomy and terrifying. The walls were covered with the skulls and hides of demonic beasts, and the floor was covered with strange runes. In the center was a huge blood pool, the blood in which was so thick that it seemed to have solidified. Every now and then, a few bubbles would rise to the surface and make a "gurgling" sound.

In the center of the blood pool, a huge soul orb floated in the air, emitting an eerie light.

Next to the Soul Pearl stood a pillar, and tied to the pillar was an iron rod.

"Tiezhu!" Liu Xingchen was overjoyed, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He looked around carefully and found that there was no one else in the Blood Pool Hall, and the Demon Lord was nowhere to be seen.

"Great! With the Demon Lord gone, it's the perfect time to save them!" Liu Xingchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface, he remained calm and continued to escort Meiying'er toward Tiezhu.

Meanwhile, Tiezhu was tied to the stone pillar, his head bowed, plotting how to escape.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps, looked up, and froze.

"Brother Xingchen?" A hint of surprise flashed in Tiezhu's eyes, but then he became worried. "No, I have to inform Brother Xingchen immediately and tell him to be careful and not fall into the Demon Lord's trap."

He opened his mouth, wanting to shout, but his throat was sealed by a strange force, and he couldn't make a sound.

Tie Zhu was sweating profusely as he struggled desperately to break free of his restraints, but to no avail.

Seeing Tie Zhu struggling, Liu Xingchen felt a pang of anxiety and quickened his pace.

As Liu Xingchen drew closer to Tie Zhu, his gaze never left Tie Zhu's face.

He noticed a hint of urgency flash in Tie Zhu's eyes, and he even blinked slightly.

Tie Zhu blinked repeatedly, which even Mei Ying'er noticed, but she only wondered if Tie Zhu's eyes were too dry.

Liu Xingchen suddenly realized that Tie Zhu might be using this method to remind him of something.

However, time was of the essence, and Liu Xingchen kept walking until he reached Tie Zhu, just inches away from the enormous soul bead.

The Soul Bead emitted a dim light, with runes flowing across its surface, as if countless souls were struggling and wailing within it.

Standing before the Soul Pearl, Liu Xingchen felt an immense pressure and was terrified.

If you fall into this soul bead, your soul will surely be scattered, and you won't even have a chance to be reincarnated.

Without thinking twice, Liu Xingchen rushed forward to rescue Tiezhu.

However, the moment he took a step, a loud noise suddenly came from the blood pool, and a figure flew out like lightning. It was none other than the Ghost Nether Demon Lord!

The Ghostly Demon Lord's figure traced a strange arc in mid-air, heading straight for Liu Xingchen.

The Demon Lord's appearance instantly froze the atmosphere in the entire hall. His eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent as he laughed loudly, "Great Demon, today is your death day!"

As he spoke, the Demon Lord leaped forward, exerting force with both hands, and instantly pushed the astonished demon into the Soul Pearl.
