CHAPTER 384: CHAPTER 371: REACHING THE SKY SWORD MARK_2

However, most of these islands were relatively small, and what was surrounded by them at the center was a landmass that could be called a continent. From the countless mountains around, figures transformed into tunneling lights and headed towards the largest island in the middle, while numerous cultivators also scattered from within towards all directions.

It amazed Su Youyi that, right in the middle, the island was distinctly in the shape of a skull, looking fierce and terrifying.

Yet, Liang Yi showed no surprise, he had seen this scene in his previous life. Even the Blood Control Sect attracted many players because of this skull-shaped island.

"There’s nothing good to see, let’s move on." The island only seemed majestic at first glance, but Liu Rouxin had gotten sick of it after seeing it for who knows how many years.

Indeed, she had visited almost every small island floating in the Blood Sea.

The island where the Sect Leader of the Blood Control Sect resided was set apart from this area, floating independently on the outermost side.

Even Liang Yi didn’t know why the Blood Control Sect had isolated such an important place outside, as normally, sects would surround their Sect Master.

Zhou Yuqing followed behind, frowning silently; she really disliked this place.

Although the owners of this blood might have been dead for two epochs, the death aura hidden within was becoming denser. If it were a slightly weaker aura of death, she might not have reacted, but the quantity here was extremely enormous and incredibly pure.

This made Zhou Yuqing feel terrible, wishing she could set fire to this sea area immediately.

Old Man Ju’s spirits were also somewhat dampened since coming out from that cluster of islands; he did not have a good impression of this place either.

Moreover, thinking back to the Blood Demon from the First Epoch, he felt that its death seemed a bit too mysterious.

After all, that was a Ninth Realm Blood Demon who had grown up; if he didn’t want to die, there were very few in that era who could kill him.

Yet, those capable of killing him were busy dealing with the Abyss and had no time to pay attention to the Blood Demon.

The Blood Demon himself was also very cunning, perfectly timing his actions just when those powerful beings were enduring strain, causing them headaches but unlikely to abandon the Abyss to deal with him.

So, in such a situation, the Blood Demon practically had no natural enemies. His vitality and regenerative abilities were astonishingly fearsome, so Old Man Ju subconsciously did not believe such a Blood Demon would die by someone else’s hand.

But now, let alone the Blood Demon, corpses were dismembered and turned into various Magical Treasures, leaving him no choice but to believe.

Thus, Old Man Ju currently seemed a bit dispirited.

"Hm?"

While flying, Liang Yi and Su Youyi suddenly sensed something simultaneously and stopped, puzzled.

"Is this feeling... Master?"

Liang Yi looked down towards the source of this inexplicable feeling; before his eyes was a tremendously large fissure.

The fissure spread from one end of the sea to the other, with seawater pouring into it on both sides, but seemingly never filling up, forming a waterfall that spanned the entire Secret Realm!

"It is definitely Master!" affirmed Su Youyi, she could not be mistaken.

Liang Yi noticed that Liu Rouxin’s expression seemed a bit upset, and couldn’t help asking: "Is it from that time?"

"What else could it be?" Liu Rouxin said irritably, turning her face away.

It was no wonder that the disciples of the Blood Control Sect harbored such hostility towards the people of the Taoist Sect. Such a long scar was blatantly displayed before all the disciples of the Blood Control Sect; no one could forget it.

"How formidable..." Zhou Yuqing said solemnly.

Even after such a long time, she could still feel the earth-shattering Sword Intent from Banished Immortal emanating from that sword mark. Because it was so massive and majestic, she couldn’t even distinguish what kind of Sword Intent it was at first.

However, it was also for this reason that Zhou Yuqing felt even more shocked in her heart. She knew Banished Immortal was strong, but had not expected him to be this powerful.

That man always appeared carefree and jolly in front of her sister, yet he possessed a power that made the world take notice.

You should know, when Chen Hua forcefully entered the Blood Control Sect, the Immortal Path hadn’t been renewed yet, and at that time, Chen Hua was still in the Seventh Realm.

But if the current Zhou Yuqing were to face the Chen Hua of that time, she couldn’t guarantee she would win.

"Should I say, truly worthy of being a Banished Immortal, meow?" Uncle Orange was also amazed, the strength ceiling of this epoch surely belonged to Chen Hua. Such a figure, even if placed within the First Epoch, would be renowned for establishing a sect and praised through generations.

"So, this rift was caused by Master..." Liang Yi’s expression was complex. Though he had guessed it, he was still somewhat puzzled about the reasons.

Did Master ask him to come to apologize for this sword strike? Or was it for something else? What was Sect Leader Xu Yi’s attitude towards them from the Blood Control Sect?

Su Youyi noticed the anxiety and confusion in her senior brother’s heart and subconsciously grabbed his left hand.

Liang Yi looked up and saw his junior sister’s bright and gentle smile. After being momentarily stunned, he also smiled, the gloom in his heart already dispersed.

Overthinking was useless; facing and solving the problem was the fundamental approach.

Realizing this, Liang Yi tightened his grip on Su Youyi’s hand, holding her hand even firmer.

The group didn’t stay much longer at the rift because not far from it lay the small island Liu Rouxin had mentioned.

There was no barrier, and Liang Yi and his companions stepped onto the island quite ordinarily.

The island wasn’t large, and many areas were formed from red rocks creating cliffs and precipices. After investigation, Liang Yi found no living beings here, just piles of various stones.

"Look there, meow." Uncle Orange suddenly pointed to the center of the island.

Following the direction Uncle Orange pointed, Liang Yi and the others saw a delicately crafted wooden door standing quietly there, as if eternal.

What surprised Liang Yi and Su Youyi even more was that this door was exactly the same as the three combined doors of the external Blood Control Sect Mountain Protection Array. Apart from being comparatively small like a child not yet a full month old, other aspects were entirely identical.

Zhou Yuqing looked around and found this place truly quiet, unable to hear any sound at all.

"Stop looking, it’s right there." Liu Rouxin led the way, guiding everyone through the strange, jagged red rocks directly to the front of the door.

"How should I put this?" Liang Yi examined the still door, noticing that there was not the slightest fluctuation.

If it weren’t for this place being a forbidden area of the Blood Control Sect, appearing here certainly wouldn’t be something trivial and elusive, Liang Yi would have tried to open it directly.

"Creak~"

Before Liang Yi could continue questioning, the sudden sound of the door opening startled him, causing him to swiftly retreat several steps.

A pair of hands wrapped in bandages suddenly stretched out from the crack of the door, grasping the doorframe and pulling oneself out bit by bit. First the head, then the body, and finally it seemed as if the whole person pulled himself out.

The burly man with both hands wrapped in bandages moved his limbs, his eyes sharp as an eagle’s, sweeping over the people in front of him.

The burly man was tall and well-built, dressed in a blood-colored uniform. In his right hand wrapped in bandages, he held a large knife dripping with red liquid.

Unlike the long knife used by Ling Ye, his knife was more akin to a large cleaver. Coupled with his fierce and daunting gaze, it was extremely intimidating.

"Ha! Why didn’t that bastard Chen Hua come himself and only sent two youngsters over, could it be that he is scared?" The man holding the cleaver showed a trace of disdain in his eyes upon not seeing Chen Hua among the newcomers.

"Sect Leader Xu, our master is currently guarding at the Abyss Seal and temporarily unable to leave, so he instructed the younger generation to handle this matter," Liang Yi, being aware of who this person was, respectfully greeted and responded.
