Chaos

The invasion of the Red Tree Clan into the Blood River Secret Realm cast a shadow over the hearts of several Spirit Transformation Blood Race.

After a long silence, the young-looking Spirit Transformation Blood Race said solemnly, "Prepare for battle. The Red Tree Clan is different from the Myriad Forms Sect; they know of the Blood Source's existence and will definitely come to seize it..."

Boom!!

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a deafening roar echoed through the Dark Space. Several Spirit Transformation Blood Race looked up and saw cracks resembling spider webs slowly appearing in the sky, from which several Red Tree branches emerged. A battle was about to break out!

In Lingbei Commandery, on the Guangli Plains, stands Secret Realm Portal that reaches to the heavens and the earth, with a magnificent Palace suspended in mid-air before it.

Each of the Eight Directions Forces controlling the Secret Realm has a Spirit Transformation powerhouse expert guarding its Palace.

Suddenly, the once peaceful Palace was suddenly filled with terrifying and unusual energy.

Then, a dozen or so Spirit Transformation powerhouse stormed into the Secret Realm's Portal, leaving the other cultivators outside the Portal puzzled and bewildered.

But soon, a message spread, answering their questions.

The Red Tree Clan has invaded the Blood River Secret Realm!

Within the Formation Space of the Inheritance Hall, Yang Tianyou and several clansmen emerged from the mountains.

With the help of Zhiming and the Illusion God Pearl, they successfully avoided the terrifying Blood Beasts and left the Island.

Riding the Flying Shuttle upwards, it soon flew out of the middle layer of the Blood River and arrived at the surface area. At the same time, Zhiming also noticed the dense Red Tree branches overhead.

The dense, blood-red branches resembled a cage, trapping them within the Blood River.

Yang Tianyou's expression turned solemn. After a moment's thought, he activated the Flying Shuttle and sped off towards the exit of the Secret Realm.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about the suspicions of the Eight Great Forces. Besides, given the current situation, many had already left, so a few more wouldn't make a difference.

However, the Flying Shuttle had only traveled a little over a thousand miles when Zhiming issued another warning, "Master, the road ahead is completely blocked by Red Tree branches; we can't go any further!"

"Charge!" Yang Tianyou commanded coldly and decisively.

Upon hearing this, the others did not hesitate at all and poured their Law Power into the Flying Shuttle beneath them.

Boom!!

With a flash of light, the defensive, flight, and attack Formations on the Flying Shuttle were fully activated. Combined, they transformed it into an unstoppable cone, pushing aside the vast river water and crashing fiercely into the wall made of Red Tree branches in front of it.

Laugh!!

The Flying Shuttle was unstoppable, tearing the Red Tree branches to shreds as easily as a sharp blade cutting through tofu, and breaking outwards.

Fifteen minutes later, a dimly lit Flying Shuttle emerged from within the thick Red Tree walls.

"Finally out!" Inside the Flying Shuttle, Yang Danglong breathed a sigh of relief, and the solemnity on the faces of the others also dissipated considerably.

But just then, Zhiming's words made their hearts sink again. "A hundred miles ahead, a large number of Red Tree branches are surging towards us!"

"Not just in front, but behind too!" Yang Tianyou added after glancing behind him.

"How about we fly upwards?" Wang Shan suggested.

"Give it a try!" Yang Tianyou did not refuse, turned the Flying Shuttle around, and flew upwards.

Half an hour later, they proved with their own actions that escaping from above the Blood River was even more difficult than escaping from inside it.

At least within the Blood River, they could suppress their senses, and with the power of Zhiming and the Illusion God Pearl, they were still able to entangle themselves with the Red Tree Clan.

If they leave the Blood River, the Red Tree Clan's perception will be fully restored, and with the inescapable Heavenly Net they've already set up, escaping will be nothing short of wishful thinking.

"Dive downwards and return to the Formation Space of the Inheritance Hall. We'll leave from there!" Yang Tianyou's expression changed as he decided to leave through the Formation Space, regardless of the suspicions of the Eight Directions Forces.

Because of the sudden appearance of the Red Tree Clan, he had plenty of excuses he could use to cover things up.

The Flying Shuttle sped through the Blood River, with large quantities of Middle-Grade Spirit Stones burning fiercely in the Formation Furnace. Behind them, dense Red Tree branches coalesced, resembling a giant red python frantically chasing after them.

The branches wriggled, like a giant python opening its blood-red maw, suddenly accelerating and swallowing the Flying Shuttle whole.

After a while, a somewhat tattered Flying Shuttle emerged from the encirclement of Red Tree branches.

Yang Tianyou put it away and instead took out a Fourth-Tier High-Grade Flying Shuttle, allowing everyone to ride on it.

Next, he released the Dragon Tortoise and had it pilot the Flying Shuttle.

Boom!!

Having ascended two levels, the Flying Shuttle's speed indeed increased dramatically, leaving the Red Tree branches behind far behind, before plunging into the Blood River below and disappearing from sight.

An hour later, while dodging a Flying Shuttle that was dodging a Spirit Transformation Blood Beast, it suddenly changed direction.

Not long after, an elderly man, trapped inside Red Tree branch and almost wrapped up like a dumpling, came into view.

It was none other than my old acquaintance, Old Man Taiwu.

At this moment, the old man was holding Snake-Patterned Staff in one hand and controlling Flame Flying Sword in the other, desperately trying to defend against the attacks of the Red Tree branches.

However, faced with an increasing number of Red Tree branches, he gradually began to feel weak, and his movements became increasingly sluggish and stiff.

Just as the Old Man Taiwu was in despair, a dazzling and chilling golden light shone down, opening a gap in the encirclement formed by the Red Tree branches.

The Old Man Taiwu was overjoyed. He quickly circulated his magic Law Power, took out an Escape Technique Talisman escape, and activated it. With Escape Light, he broke through the encirclement in the next moment.

"Senior, come on up quickly!" A familiar voice entered his mind. The Old Man Taiwu was first stunned, then overjoyed. He hurriedly boarded the Flying Shuttle and followed the Yang Household Member away from this place, flying towards the Island.

Behind it, the Red Tree branches tried desperately to catch up, but the Flying Shuttle them further and further away, gradually exceeding their perception range, and they had no choice but to give up in despair.

Inside the Flying Shuttle, the Old Man Taiwu was panting heavily, his white beard flying wildly in the wind, which looked quite amusing.

"Senior, you really owe me a huge favor this time!" Yang Tianyou walked over with a smile.

"Hmph, favors are favors, but that brat Yang Xuangang, dreaming of marrying both of my precious disciples is just a pipe dream!" Old Man Taiwu said angrily. Mentioning this matter made his teeth itch, and he had an urge to hit someone.

"Don't worry, senior. These things are all about mutual consent. My Yang Household has its own principles and will not use personal connections to force you," Yang Tianyou waved his hand and smiled.

"Really?" The Old Man Taiwu looked on with suspicion.

"Of course!" Yang Tianyou patted his chest and assured him.

"That's good!" Old Man Taiwu smiled. "As long as it's not this, everything else is negotiable!"

"Is what you say true, senior?" Yang Tianyou's Shen Yi lit up.

The Old Man Taiwu immediately became wary again, "What mischief are you plotting now?"

"Senior, what are you thinking? I simply wish to invite you to become Guest Elder of my Yang Household. In fact, this is the fourth time I've extended an invitation. You won't refuse again, will you?" Yang Tianyou asked expectantly.

"Guest Elder..." The Old Man Taiwu frowned. He had already refused the Yang Household's request several times.

However, this time it was not an easy time to refuse.

He, the Old Man Taiwu, would repay even the smallest kindness with boundless gratitude, let alone such a life-saving act.

Moreover, the Yang Household has been extremely kind to him over the years, granting his every request. Furthermore, his two disciples are constantly entangled with Yang Xuangang...

Although he didn't want to admit it, the Old Man Taiwu knew his two disciples' temperaments well; they were the type to never give up until they hit a brick wall, and changing their minds would be extremely difficult...

After a flurry of thoughts, the Old Man Taiwu finally sighed softly and nodded in agreement.
