“No, we have to stop them!”
Gu Zhanlin came back to his senses and shouted anxiously, “We can’t let them control the Blood…”
Buzz!
The empty air suddenly surged.
Ripples that were visible to the naked eye suddenly swept out upwards, downwards, left and right with the tall and thin man as the center..
The dim underground space suddenly became brighter.
The source of the light, the Bloodseeker Seal in the lanky man’s hand automatically floated into the air for some reason.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Under the guidance of the strange energy, the Bloodseeker Seal spun continuously.
At first glance, it looked like a giant light bulb. As it spun, it shot out beams of bright light that pierced through the darkness.
But!
These strong beams of light lasted for less than five seconds before they began to flicker and then extinguish.
Then—
Bam!
There was a loud bang.
The floating Bloodseeker Seal exploded with a loud bang, turning into a ball of white light that filled the underground space.
These white lights seemed to be corporeal and spread to become terrifying rays of light.
Everywhere they passed, protective true essence and Martial Art True Intents were instantly penetrated.
For this, the tall and thin man closest to it was the first to bear the brunt. The light penetrated his body, and his entire body was like a sieve, spurting out blood and falling to the ground like a porcupine.
The other Ghost Ride members were also, to varying extents, pierced by the light, lost control, and collapsed.
Su Jingxing and company, who were standing on the steps of the entrance, managed to escape the calamity by retreating into the passageway in time.
After the light disappeared, they returned to the steps to check on the situation.
They found that everyone from Ghost Ride had fallen into the ground and were fighting fiercely with the Bloodseeker Beasts that had escaped.
As for the Bloodseeker Seal, it had already disappeared.
“What… what’s going on?” asked Gu Zhanlin, stunned.
“The Bloodseeker Seal is fake?” asked Lu Wuchang, his eyes shining as he looked at Pu Mingyue.
Pu Mingyue was stunned. “I… I don’t know.”
“To be honest, I can’t confirm if the rumors about the Bloodseeker Seal are true. I’ve only read about it in the ancient books of the sect. As for the exact details, | don’t know what flaws and drawbacks this seal has.”
The few of them fell silent.
The sudden explosion of the Bloodseeker Seal was unexpected for everyone.
They had thought that the Ghost Ride was about to succeed, and would be able to control a terrifying power that even a Martial Sage would fear.
n the end, it ended as soon as it started.
This turn of events was both shocking and delightful.
Delightful because despite the fact hat Ghost Ride had exhausted all its schemes, in the end, they achieved nothing, and had even gotten themselves implicated.
The explosion of the Bloodseeker Seal could have been due to this rare treasure being damaged after thousands of years.
tt could also be that the tall and thin man had mismanaged the activation sequence.
tt was more likely that the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu, had deliberately left behind a backup plan!
When he was alive, the Great Martial Sage Yue had guessed that someone would break his seal and release the Bloodseeker Beasts for their own use. Therefore, he had tampered with the Bloodseeker Seal. Once true
energy was injected to activate it, it would explode!
The final possibility was quite likely.
Of course,
following the self-destruction of the Bloodseeker Seal, these possibilities were no longer important.
Ghost Ride’s plan failed. Everyone fell into the ground and were fighting it out with the Bloodseeker Beasts.
It was still unknown whether they could kill their way out and escape.
To Su Jingxing, Pu Mingyue, and the others, this outcome was exactly what they wanted.
“Man proposes, God disposes.”
Gu Zhanlin took a deep breath and shouted, “Let’s go. We have to leave this place first and intercept the Bloodseeker Beasts outside. We can’t let these ferocious creatures out of the underground palace!”
“Let’s go!”
Zhao Fengxian growled and motioned for Fan Qi to carry him away.
Ghost Ride’s plan had failed, but the threat of the Bloodseeker Beasts remained.
Once these ancient ferocious creatures escaped the underground palace, they could similarly cause countless casualties.
Immediately, the seven of them turned around and hurried back through the passageway.
When they returned to the fourth level, they were surprised to find that the dome of the originally empty space of the fourth level had lit up with light. Drawings had appeared on it.
They were about how to stop the Bloodseeker Beasts and trap them in the underground palace!
“It’s Yue Dongliu! Martial Sage Yue left behind a backup plan!”
Pu Mingyue shouted happily as she dashed over and looked up at the dome.
Yue Dongliu was too suave.
Because of the Bloodseeker Beasts, he had considered everything.
His noble character had it that people would sincerely address him as “Martial Sage”.
“I see. So there is such a operation method for the Dragon Slaying Platform.”
Zhao Fengxian looked at the dome and murmured.
“Martial Sage Yue is worthy of admiration. Unfortunately, we can only trap the Bloodseeker Beasts in the underground palace for two hours!”
Gu Zhanlin looked up at the dome and shouted indignantly.
“Where are we going to find so many experts to stop the Bloodseeker Beasts in two hours?”
Lu Wuchang gritted his teeth.
The reason why the drawings on the fourth level’s dome had appeared was mostly because because they were activated after the seal was broken.
Yue Dongliu had made all kinds of preparations.
When they entered, there were three checkpoints stopping them.
When they left, with the guide of the drawings, they could temporarily close the Dragon Slaying Platform on the third level and reopen it to intercept the Bloodseeker Beasts.
This huge underground palace could even turn into a cage and trap the beasts for two hours!
The roar of the Bloodseeker Beasts penetrated straight into one soul. If one was not in the fourth-grade and had true fluid to nourish the soul, it would be impossible to resist.
Therefore, to intercept the Bloodseeker Beasts, one had to be at least in the fourth-grade!
In two hours, where could they find hundreds of fourth-grade martial artists?
There were perhaps a total of 300 fourth-grade martial artists in the entire Changyang Prefecture.
The problem was that the cities these people were in were too far away.
Only those in the nearest Qinghe City and Treasure Elephant City could arrive in time.
But how could there be so many fourth-grade martial artists in Qinghe City and Treasure Elephant City?
“Wait!”
Su Jingxing suddenly realized that there were more than a hundred experts in the fourth-grade and above nearby.
“Sigh…”
Gu Zhanlin sighed. As he rushed on, he sighed. “If only we could reconstruct the Flying Lion Ring. Back then, the Flying Lion army of the Rising Dragon Saber King, Liu Chenglong, had 108 experts who were minimally
the fourth-grade. Their seal location isn’t that far away from here.”
“If we can awaken them, we’ll have more than a hundred helpers to stop the Bloodseeker Beasts.
“Unfortunately, I only have half of the Flying Lion Ring. I don’t even know where the other half is…”
“I have it,” interrupted Su Jingxing in a low voice.
Chi!
Gu Zhanlin stopped abruptly. The inertia caused his feet to rub against the ground, producing sparks and leaving a clear mark.
Su Jingxing, who was already prepared, stopped steadily.
Pu Mingyue, Zhao Fengxian, Lu Wuchang, Fan Qi, and Bu Qing also followed. They put some distance between them and stood on the ground, looking at Su Jingxing in shock.
Gu Zhanlin’s lips trembled as he asked, “What… what did you just say?”
“I have the other half of the Flying Lion Ring.”
Su Jingxing replied calmly.
Gulp!
Gu Zhanlin swallowed his saliva and suppressed his excitement. His voice trembled with excitement. “In… in other words, we can immediately reconstruct the Flying Lion Ring and go to the seal location to awaken the
Flying Lion army?”
“Yes!”
