Yunxi's face darkened slightly. After replacing the Hong Energy Block, she sat cross-legged on the ground and waited for Immortal Yuan Force to flow through her body again before raising her eyes to survey her surroundings.
This was the core of Shattered Soul Valley, where the gale winds were at their fiercest and most violent. That was why the buildings here were all constructed from a special kind of purple stone. Yunxi merely twitched her nose and caught the smell of blood.
She rose and entered the room where the stench of blood was strongest. What met her eyes was a pool of dark red blood, nearly black. Bubbles still rose from its surface. A sweep of her divine sense revealed that the people who had previously been imprisoned in the same room as her had all sunk to the bottom of the blood pool. More than half the flesh on their bodies had dissolved. Had she come in any later, not even bone fragments would likely have remained.
Yunxi's brows knitted tightly. She turned her Immortal Yuan Force into threads and fished the corpses up from the bottom of the pool. In the next instant, a strand of Resentful Evil Qi climbed along her Immortal Yuan Force, seeking to burrow into her body.
Yunxi's eyes turned cold. Ziyan had already struck on its own initiative, winding around that strand of Resentful Evil Qi and following its aura down into the blood pool.
In less than a breath, the entire blood pool seemed to have been set ablaze. Purple flames over ten feet high instantly spread across the hundred-square-foot pool, accompanied by wave after wave of wails and shrieks.
Yunxi gave a calm order:
"Ziyan, do not waste your source power. Temporarily suppressing it will be enough."
"Yes, Master."
Ziyan
