On the road.
Tao Kun spoke in a low voice. "What about the Blood Robe Gate?"
"After today, there will be no more Blood Robe Gate in this world." The woman answered flatly, her eyes flashing red as she swept a glance over Tao Kun. "This is the only time. There will not be a next."
"Yes."
Cold sweat beaded across Tao Kun's forehead.
The instant that red light swept over him, he felt as though a primordial beast had fixed its gaze upon him, leaving him unable to breathe.
The Blood Robe Gate's exposure was already an established fact.
Next, the Heavenly Realm Division of Jizhou and the major sects would surely mobilize everything they had to hunt down the Blood Robe Gate.
He had actually been foolish enough to think of rescuing them.
No demon or devil would like a foolish slave.
Having understood everything, Tao Kun tightly shut his mouth and followed behind the woman, vanishing into the depths of Yandang Mountain.
After setting the corpses of the Blood Robe Gate disciples ablaze, everyone's gazes turned to Wei Qing again.
Tantai Yue was the first to speak. "Is there any clue in the Central Hall about how to get out?"
Wei Qing had just been about to shake his head.
"I know about that."
Yun Tianheng's voice suddenly rang out.
"Great! Brother Tian, what should we do next?" Joy rose in Wei Qing's heart.
"Go directly to the Heavenly Demon's seal. There, they forcibly opened up a teleportation formation leading to the outside world. You can leave through that formation, but..."
At this point, Yun Tianheng paused slightly and did not continue.
"Is there some danger?"
"Danger? Not really. It's just that activating the formation requires demon blood and their soul power as a medium before it can be opened." Yun Tianheng gently shook his head and explained.
"This..."
Wei Qing was momentarily speechless.
That requirement would not have been difficult in the outside world.
But where was he supposed to find a demon now?
"I have a way to deal with the soul power. As for demon blood, the blood of those traitors who have not yet burned to ash should be worth trying." Luo Liuli's voice sounded deep within his sea of consciousness.
"This junior understands."
"Wei Qing?"
Seeing that Wei Qing had not answered her question and was instead standing there in a daze, Tantai Yue could not help speaking again.
When Wei Qing came back to his senses, he flashed over to the burning pile of corpses.
With a swing of the Soul Severing Blade, he cut off Qin Yang's right arm from where it lay amid the corpses. Purple blood slowly flowed from the severed end, and as it dripped onto the ground, it actually gave off a corrosive sizzling sound.
"Wei Qing, what are you doing?"
Tantai Yue witnessed the scene and looked at Wei Qing, who held the severed arm, with a heart full of confusion.
Wei Qing pointed at the still-dripping purple blood. "This is one of the keys to getting out."
"A way out?"
"We can really leave."
The moment those words were spoken, everyone present was shaken, their gazes converging on Wei Qing.
"At the place where the Heavenly Demon is sealed, there is a formation connected to the outside world. Opening it requires two things—demon blood and demon soul power."
"We do not have pure demon blood, but the half-demon blood in these human traitors should work." Wei Qing raised the severed arm in his hand. Purple blood slowly dripped from its cut end onto the ground.
"As for the required soul power, once we reach the sealing site, I have my own way."
"Since that's the case, there's no time to lose. Let's go."
"Let's move."
"We're getting out!"
After Wei Qing explained the method, the previously oppressive atmosphere immediately became lively.
Everyone followed Wei Qing through the crumbling ruins. The closer they drew to the Heavenly Demon Seal, the thicker the demonic aura in the air became.
"We're here."
Wei Qing stopped before a stone platform covered in blood vines.
The Soul Severing Blade swept across it. Foul-smelling liquid spurted from the broken vines, revealing a formation below covered in ancient runes.
At the center of the formation was a sunken blood groove shaped like a palm.
The severed arm was pressed into the blood groove. Purple blood flowed along the rune channels, and wherever it passed, the runes turned a shocking crimson!
The next moment.
The entire stone platform suddenly sank! The ground split open with a massive crack, and four bronze pillars burst from the earth.
Each bronze pillar was carved with a ferocious demon.
As the four demons opened their eyes, bloodthirsty light flashed within their scarlet pupils.
Four terrifying currents of demonic aura swept over them like crashing waves. The black mist condensed into grotesque ghost faces in the air, releasing piercing shrieks.
"Guard your minds!"
Wei Qing shouted sharply, holding the Soul Slaying Blade before him. Golden light rose from the blade and split the oncoming demonic aura in two.
The crystal ball in Nangong Ruyan's hand lit up. Ice-blue True Essence formed a barrier around everyone, and as the demonic aura struck the ice barrier, it gave off corrosive sizzling sounds.
"Senior."
As the words fell, a red gleam flew from Wei Qing's brow and condensed into a hazy feminine figure in midair.
Luo Liuli did not wish to reveal her existence yet. Of those present, only Wei Qing could see her figure.
With a light lift of her delicate hand, a terrifying suction force pierced through the Heavenly Demon sealing formation a hundred meters away and plunged straight into the earth.
"Who dares spy upon this king!"
The earth shook violently. The seal erupted with towering demonic aura, and a furious roar made everyone's eardrums ache as the sand and stones across the entire wasteland rattled and bounced.
"Qingzi, what's happening?" Jun Wushang and the others changed expression sharply, drawing their weapons one after another. "Could the Heavenly Demon be about to break free from the seal?"
"Noisy."
Luo Liuli snorted coldly and suddenly curled her slender jade fingers. The suction force instantly surged, and a heart-rending scream immediately came from within the seal. "Ah—! Luo Liuli, how could it be you... Back then, you should have..."
The voice cut off abruptly, as though its throat had suddenly been seized.
Luo Liuli's gaze turned cold. Her eyes pierced through layer upon layer of formations and locked directly onto the Silver Moon Demon King deep within the seal.
The latter's scales stood on end, and its three demonic pupils trembled madly—it would never forget how, two hundred years ago, Luo Liuli had cut away half of its true body with a single sword strike!
If another Demon Emperor had not rescued it then, it would have long since perished at her hands.
"Looks like you know something." The corners of Luo Liuli's lips curved slightly, but the smile never reached her eyes. "Very good."
"No... I don't know anything."
The Silver Moon Demon King felt as though it had fallen into an ice cellar, desperately shaking its head in denial.
Back then, not a single demon targeted by this female god of slaughter had been left with an intact corpse.
It wished it could rip apart its own rotten mouth. Why had it spoken so much in front of this baleful star?
Luo Liuli said coldly, "The soul power. Will you do it yourself, or should I do it?"
"I... I'll do it myself."
The once world-shaking Heavenly Demon King Silver Moon now stood before Luo Liuli like a mouse that had seen a cat, obedient to the extreme.
"Hiss..."
Silver Moon pressed its sharp claws against its brow, and a wisp of silver-gray mist was slowly drawn out.
The extraction process was clearly agonizing beyond measure. Its massive body convulsed without end, and bloodshot veins filled its three demonic pupils.
"Is... is it enough?"
Silver Moon lay weakly prone on the ground, without even a trace of its former Heavenly Demon majesty.
