Perfect Double Agent

"What the hell is that thing..." a group of people screamed and retreated frantically.

But that chaotic youth was too terrifying. Without the obstruction of the gods, he was like an unrestrained god of death. He held a broken plate in each hand, his right arm flashing with golden light. His vast and holy spear ignored their defenses and arrived in an instant, piercing through the two of them.

Two sword embryos flew out from the cross-shaped pupil in his left eye, one dark and misty, the other silver and brimming with murderous aura. As they slashed past, a true god was still roaring and wielding his treasure, but the fire of his soul had already been extinguished.

The last remaining true god was splattered with blood. He tried to run, but a talisman flew at him and engulfed him.

"This……"

The old blind man was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. These two children looked so peaceful on the outside, but who knew they would be so crazy when they started fighting? In such a short time, a large number of the enemies had died. Only the Blood Demon was outside the hall, trembling with anger, his eyes almost spitting fire.

The situation changed in an instant, and the duck that was about to be eaten flew away, which is probably unacceptable to anyone.

"Old blind man, very good, you are really good. My Feng family will remember what happened today." Blood Demon glared fiercely at the old blind man and Bai Ye, and then decisively retreated.

"Is he from the Feng family?" Bai Ye asked.

"No, that's not it. The no-man's-land is known for its abundant resources. Some longevity families infiltrate small towns and secretly cultivate and support certain individuals. Blood Demon is considered one of the Feng family's lackeys. Ordinary people are unwilling to make enemies with him, and even if there is competition, they will choose to give up," the old blind man explained.

The same applies to small towns and imperial passes. The Changsheng Clan is like the heavens themselves in the Nine Heavens, and indeed, no one dares to provoke them.

But in reality, most of the immortal families have also been infiltrated, and the entire Nine Heavens is like a sieve full of holes.

However, at this stage, the people from other realms have not yet arrived.

"Does your older sister do this often too? You seem very skilled at it."

"Not really. I used to do it occasionally, but I've gotten a bit rusty now."

Two beautiful figures moved with exceptional skill, rummaging through the corpses. Even the Qilin Insects were using their short legs to dig out the treasures hidden beneath the bodies.

Poor child, so young and already knows how to be self-reliant, it really makes things so easy for him.

As a result, it had only just picked up a piece of broken equipment when Bai Ye grabbed its body, its round little eyes full of cuteness.

"Stop eating. We'll give you fruit when we get out. Now, keep using your spiritual senses."

"Crack!"

The Qilin worm bit off a chunk from half of the true divine artifact, and while chewing, it pointed westward, "There's more..."

"There's a miracle drug?" Bai Ye was shocked. He picked up the little guy and looked him over. "Have you gone astray? You're a gold hunter, what are you thinking about miracle drugs for all day long!"

Nevertheless, after tidying up, the group headed west.

This immortal abode is extremely vast, and divine sense is limited, unable to explore too far. Moreover, there are blood vines in the shadows, and no one knows if there are other dangers lurking there.

Bai Ye led the way, while the old blind man kept watch behind. They moved extremely fast, traveling several miles through the complex of buildings before stopping in front of a calm, still pond.

The pool was no more than six zhang deep, and it was extremely eerie. The surface of the water was as still as an ancient well, like a piece of black magic ice, with wisps of black smoke rising from it. Just getting close to it made people's bodies stiff.

However, in its center, there is a black lotus that resembles a small tree. It is rooted in the pond, vigorous and powerful, exuding a rich Yin energy. When it sways slightly, it seems to freeze the entire world. On the other side of the pond, several corpses frozen into ice blocks can be vaguely seen.

This is a Taiyin Divine Lotus. Over the long years, it has evolved into a divine medicine. The Taiyin Water in the pool is mostly the result of its repeated growth to its peak, just like the Tribulation-Crossing Divine Lotus of the Celestial Academy.

"Don't go any closer... there's something inside!" the old blind man hissed, warning him.

It's so quiet here, not a sound to be heard, and the corpses are so conspicuous. No one would believe there's nothing fishy going on.

But at that moment, ripples suddenly appeared in the six-zhang-deep pool, and blood-red vines emerged, but they were not coming this way; instead, after climbing out, they began to retreat.

Faintly visible, among the eight spider-leg-like blood vines, is a two-meter-long blood-red tumor. It has not retreated too far, but stands quietly in the distance, motionless.

This scene was too bizarre. The old blind man wanted to make a move because the strange creature was not strong; its aura seemed to be only at the True God level.

“It shouldn’t mean any harm…” Bai Ye raised his hand to stop the old blind man from moving and gestured for Jiang Qingyue to retrieve the Taiyin Divine Lotus.

"No malice? Are you sure? The holes in my body haven't healed yet!" The old blind man pointed to his chest, which, although no longer bleeding, was transparent from front to back.

"It's alright." Bai Ye glanced at his right arm, where the golden light was still shimmering. Within it, a golden spear was faintly visible, radiating a unique aura of immortality.

For beings from other lands, this is the best symbol of identity, more effective than any token.

At this moment, Jiang Qingyue had already returned. She acted quickly, not only taking away the Taiyin Soul Lotus, but also the pool water. The witch found her increasingly pleasing to the eye. This woman was easy to get along with, and like her, she was a capable homemaker who would surely manage a household well.

"Let's go." Bai Ye had no intention of communicating with the blood orb, and instead led the three of them westward.

But then, the blood sphere followed on its own, neither moving away nor retreating, like a docile spider.

"What's going on with it?" The witch kept turning her head back, and even the old blind man muttered to himself.

However, Bai Ye knew that the reason the other party followed him was probably related to him. It was very likely that the other party mistook him for a descendant of the imperial family.

However, they did not notice that deep within the distant fog, pairs of blood-red eyes were also shining, like the guardians of the strange spider, always secretly following them.

Chapter 241 Even Immortals Die

More than ten days have passed, and the entire western district has been explored. However, there is less to find than expected. Apart from some dilapidated palaces and the occasional corpse that has been drained of its life force, there are hardly any living creatures to be seen.

Before a nearly dried-up amber-colored pool, the witch looked at the figure sitting cross-legged in the pool, her gaze falling on three incredibly conspicuous streams of immortal energy. It was hard to imagine that the mysterious substance here could actually enhance immortal energy.

My junior brother absorbed the energy there for more than half a month, until the pool dried up. He seemed to have undergone a tremendous change. Each strand of immortal energy was incredibly thick, similar to primordial energy, as if he had reached a limit and was about to develop. However, the fourth strand of immortal energy never appeared.

"I think this thing is most likely a menace, probably a creature that ran in from the depths of the no-man's land, maybe even from those forbidden zones. We should kill it as soon as possible!" The old blind man had just finished speaking when he suddenly realized that he was surrounded by a cold, gloomy aura. The bloodthirsty aura that devoured human marrow made his chest ache slightly.

"Let it be, just ignore it." The figure in the pool slowly rose, and with his movement, the whole world crackled and creaked. If this were not a celestial abode with protective array patterns, it would be hard to imagine what it would look like if it collapsed.

"Where do we go next? Are we going to meet up with the Great Sun True Lord?" The old blind man pointed to the eastern sky, where a faint mark of the Great Sun still remained. It was a signal that the people of Black Cloud City were gathering there, probably because they had encountered some troublesome matter.

"It would be good to go and take a look..."

But, no sooner had Bai Ye finished speaking than the fleshy ball spoke for the first time, sending a hazy divine thought directly to Bai Ye, "There are immortals... who will die..."

"Immortal?" Bai Ye paused, glancing at his right arm where the Book of Time and Space was located. As long as the King's Spear didn't manifest, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

"There's no use in you staying here. Why don't you come with me to the outside world?" Bai Ye reached out his hand, but the meatball shook its head and didn't follow. Instead, it started to retreat.

……

The eastern and western parts of the Immortal Abode are like two extremes. If the west is shrouded in mist, then the east is incomparably sacred.

Golden celestial light rose from the ground, reaching up to knee-high, with countless auspicious rays floating in the sky. Ancient palaces seemed to be displaying their past glory, each one dazzling and radiant, as if igniting endless celestial flames and releasing terrifying power. Ordinary people could not even get close, let alone enter.

No matter how you look at it, this place feels like a true celestial abode, with ever-changing and extraordinary scenery.

“Something’s not right here. The more sacred a place is, the more likely it is to be haunted by powerful demons,” the old blind man said cautiously.

As if to confirm his words, no sooner had he finished speaking than a rumbling sound came from a palace near them, accompanied by the howling of a demon, as if some peerless ferocious demon was about to break free from its seal, which startled the group.

Faintly visible through the cracks in the tightly closed door, it seemed as if countless streams of blood were surging forth, turning the entire palace gate blood red.

"Damn it... Is this a celestial abode or a demon's lair?!" Someone screamed in the distance, the sound carrying far and wide.

Some people were even fleeing in panic towards this side.

"Senior, don't make a move, they're one of our own!" The newcomer emerged from behind a palace and greeted them as soon as they met.

“They’re from the Wei and Xu families…” The old blind man frowned.

The two young men and women, covered in blood, had lost their initial high spirits and instead looked like wilted eggplants.

"Brother Bai, thank goodness you're still alive. It's wonderful to see you again." Wei Dong said eagerly, wiping the blood from his face as he tried to come closer, but Bai Ye stopped him with a raised hand.

He and Wei Dong weren't that close.

"Brother Bai, don't be like that. I, Wei Dong, am quite famous in this area. Everyone who sees me praises me. Brother Wei, you are a free-spirited and unrestrained gentleman, and your four cousins ​​are as beautiful as fairies."

"Have some shame, okay? Stop using Sifeng to glorify yourself all the time, acting like you're so successful!" A petite and charming girl next to him spoke without any mercy, seemingly extremely disliking Wei Dong.

"Xu Jiaying, my sister's name is Yaoyue, the most beautiful woman under the moonlit night. I think you should know her," the girl said.

Goodness, Wei Dong looked at Xu Jiaying strangely. "I'm Xuanmei, you're Xuanjie, aren't we the same kind of people?"

"Princess Yaoyue's younger sister? My apologies, I didn't know you were the little princess..." Bai Ye cupped his hands, his face gentle.

But the witch transmitted her voice, "You know her?"

"do not know."

Witch: "..."

"Gentlemen, did you encounter something? Could you tell me?" Bai Ye asked. These two were from the Changsheng family and had brought many people with them, but now they were all alone. It was hard not to wonder.

"The Xu family and the Wang family are natural enemies. She was stubborn and fought with the Wang family in the South District. As a result, Blood Vine took advantage of the situation, and both families were wiped out."

"Get lost! If it weren't for your interference, I would have beaten that slutty bitch Wang Ru to death long ago. Would I be in this state now?" Xu Jiaying was like a grumpy little hen, which made Wei Dong involuntarily take a step back in fear.

"Are there blood vines in the South District too?" the old blind man asked seriously.

“Except for the East District, all the places are occupied by blood vines. Even some of the palaces here are suppressed with commander-level blood vines. I don’t know what those powerful people are up to. Instead of cleaning up the blood vines, they’re doing something deep in the East District.” Wei Dong’s face was grim as he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Let's go and see first. If things don't work out, then we'll leave," Bai Ye said. Wei Dong and Xu Jiaying didn't want to go, but they had no choice. They were already alone and couldn't survive outside.

The absence of divine sense restrictions in the East District allowed them to move much faster; however, as they continued to traverse the area, they encountered an increasing number of corpses.

Some were killed by human hands, some fell in front of the palace, and some had half their bodies torn off, their mutilated corpses lying in the half-closed doorway.

They even saw an acquaintance.

"It's Wang Qing... He died here!" Wei Dong and Xu Jiaying felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the corpse on the ground, which looked like a dried-up corpse.

Wang Qing died a terrible death. His life essence was drained by an extremely vicious spell. His mouth was wide open and his fingers were raised. Before he died, it was as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"It wasn't the Blood Vine that did it, it was someone else... Who would be so bold as to attack a member of the Longevity Clan?!" The old blind man exclaimed in horror.

"Although you are blind, your eyesight is still intact... It's a pity you shouldn't have come to the East District."

A red-haired man emerged from behind, blocking their retreat. But unlike before, this man had a patch of blood-red demonic markings on his face, like thousands of intertwined, fine vines—it was incredibly eerie.

"The Blood Demon?"

Chapter 242 World Tree Roots

This person is too sinister, completely different from the Blood Demon I've seen before. If the previous Blood Demon could still judge the situation and had reason, then the current Blood Demon is like a human puppet, without any emotion.

"Could he be possessed by the powerful blood vine in the palace?" The group couldn't help but back away, remembering the palace they had passed by before, where some doors were half-open, and perhaps something had really escaped from inside.

"You're overthinking it... This feeling is better than ever before. You'll never understand how powerful I am!" The Blood Demon licked his lips, and the lifelike blood-red patterns on his profile made him look incredibly eerie.

The Blood Demon strode in, his steps unsteady, his gait arrogant as if he didn't recognize his own family. Accompanied by a vast and boundless pressure that seemed to sever all ties with him, the crowd gasped and their hearts skipped a beat.

But at that moment, the old blind man suddenly felt a piece of broken plate being shoved into his hand. Before he could even look at it, the people behind him had already pushed him out.

This left the old blind man completely bewildered. Although he was prepared to fight to the death to cover the retreat, you can't just push me out like that. At least let me say goodbye to my granddaughter.
