Blood Li sighed. "I admire your courage. But you are no match for the Sect Master. He is at the Peak Late True God stage, while you are only an early True God. Going there would be throwing your life away. Take my advice and turn back. Leave while you still have your life."
Lin Feng shook his head. "I won't turn back. Since I've come, I must see Blood Heaven Ancestor. If he doesn't dare come out, I'll fight my way in."
Blood Li fell silent for a moment, then said, "The Sect Master is in seclusion. He was wounded and is recuperating. He cannot come out right now. His injuries are worse than you imagine. Heavenly Sword True Lord's sword strike damaged the meridians around his heart. Although he recovered using the Blood Sacrifice Life-Renewal Art, hidden injuries remained."
Something stirred in Lin Feng's heart. Blood Heaven Ancestor was injured? When did that happen? He remembered Azure Profound True Person saying that Blood Heaven Ancestor had once been stabbed by Heavenly Sword True Lord, even cracking his sword heart. Although he had healed his injuries with the Blood Sacrifice Life-Renewal Art, a secret art like that surely had lingering side effects. Perhaps his wounds had never fully healed.
"Then all the better," Lin Feng said. "Strike while he's sick and take his life."
Blood Li's expression changed. "Lin Feng, don't force my hand. The Sect Master has shown me kindness. I cannot let you pass. If you insist on going in, you'll have to get past me first."
Lin Feng looked at him and said, "Blood Li, you are an opponent worthy of respect. I don't want to be your enemy. But today, I must see Blood Heaven Ancestor. If you intend to stop me, make your move."
