Red Plum

The entire Desolate Clan had anticipated that the battle at the Soul Tomb would be a fight to the death, and everyone who entered the Soul Tomb was prepared to die in battle, including Jiang Xiaorou.

Jiang Xiaorou knew that seven years ago, Yi Yun entered the Empress Secret Realm and never came out again.

Yi Yun is currently in seclusion in the Empress Secret Realm, while Blood Moon has already offered a Yi Yun bounty for his life.

After inheriting the legacy of the Ancient Empress, Yi Yun has been designated as a target for the Blood Moon to eliminate.

Now, Jiang Xiaorou only hopes that Yi Yun will stay in the Empress Secret Realm for over a hundred years and only emerge after he has truly gained absolute strength. At that time, Yi Yun might have the ability to fight.

During this century, Jiang Xiaorou decided to fight the Desolate Clan to the death.

Jiang Xiaorou was just an ordinary girl. She never thought about saving the world; she didn't have such lofty pursuits.

She fought only for her family. In this life, she now only has two family members left: Yi Yun and her mother.

She faces two Reincarnator of the Snake Ji and the Qiongqi all by herself, which is destined to be a bitter battle.

Moreover, among the Reincarnator, there is an unfathomable Zhulong!

Zhulong stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly unconcerned about the upcoming battle.

Around him, five flames of soul energy floated and rose and fell.

These are members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance who were just killed by the Great Evolution Array. Their souls, bound by the power of the Law of the Dead, remain united and do not disperse, allowing them to witness this great battle.

This greatly boosted the confidence of the Heavenly Blood Alliance members.

People are always afraid of death, but now that they have this way out, they will fight much more bravely.

They risked their lives, even if it meant their sacrifice, but as long as they made great contributions, they had the possibility of being Reincarnator.

Jiang Xiaorou could even sense a mocking tone emanating from those five flames of soul.

These five people were waiting to see the Reincarnator and the Heavenly Blood Alliance avenge them, waiting for all the prodigies of the Desolate Clan to be wiped out, and waiting to see Jiang Xiaorou used for alchemy.

Jiang Xiaorou took a deep breath, gripped the long whip tightly, and her aura rose higher and higher. At that moment, she was like an unapproachable snow mountain.

Divine runes slowly emerged and appeared on Jiang Xiaorou's face.

This is the Divine Descent Mark. When Jiang Xiaorou stepped onto the Divine Bone Altar and awakened the ancient bloodline of the Desolate Clan, she gained the recognition of the Desolate Tribe Sacred Spirit.

A portion of the Holy Spirit's power has remained in Jiang Xiaorou's bloodline.

"Young Master!"

When Chen Fei saw the divine markings covering Jiang Xiaorou's face, he clenched his fists, his heart aching.

The power of the Desolate Tribe Sacred Spirit is extremely strong and cannot be used lightly.

Jiang Xiaorou, in particular, has been cultivating for too short a time. Although her bloodline is extraordinary, her cultivation level is insufficient. Every time she uses the power of the Holy Spirit, it greatly depletes Jiang Xiaorou's vital energy.

It's like burning the very essence of life.

Seeing Jiang Xiaorou burn her life essence to fight, Chen Fei naturally felt bad.

Chen Fei gritted his teeth, glaring resentfully at the Heavenly Blood Alliance members before him, and gripped the bone sword in his hand tightly.

"Kill! Kill them all!"

While the prodigies of the Wilderness Clan were engaged in a fierce battle with the members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance, many human geniuses in the rear had not yet had time to pass through the spatial gate.

The number of members in the Heavenly Blood Alliance was much greater than that of the Heavenly Fox Alliance, and they were divided into many small teams during their trials in the Soul Tomb.

Birds of a feather flock together; within the Heavenly Blood Alliance, some powerful individuals spontaneously form small teams.

These small teams walked at the very front of the procession.

The further ahead you are, the greater your chances of hunting down spirits, achieving better trial results, and obtaining more rewards.

As for some marginalized members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance, their teams could only wait their turn and get the leftovers.

The worst of all the squads was undoubtedly the one led by Yu Chi Wei and the Chu Sisters.

Their team only had seven people. Their only leader Yi Yun, was not there, and the remaining six were not very strong. They were so marginalized that they couldn't even get a share of the spoils.

They were a full ten miles behind the trial teams in the leading group.

But what's most deadly is that they have a malevolent spirit following them.

The Masked Man, who inspired fear in everyone, followed them closely.

In the eyes of the six, this Masked Man was more terrifying than a vengeful ghost.

The Soul Tomb was already a gloomy, dark place, and now there was a vengeful ghost following behind it, which was a great test of the six people's mental fortitude.

Especially for Chu Qing'er and Chu Ke'er, who were already timid, the moment the Masked Man approached, both sisters felt a chill run down their spines, their hair stood on end, and their calves cramped when they took a step.

"Why is this jinx always following us?!"

"We've all signed Soul Contract, so there's no way we can betray the Martial Arts Alliance. What's the point of him watching us? If we're going to follow anyone, it should be the direct descendants, like Gongsun Hong and his ilk. They're the Martial Arts Alliance's real sons!"

Yu Chi Wei and the others were all inwardly grumbling. They couldn't understand the Masked Man's intentions at all, but they didn't dare to ask.

The thought of a vengeful ghost following them made them uneasy in everything they did.

At this moment, they arrived at a spatial portal, where the previous members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance had all entered the portal.

The six people dawdled, clearly not wanting to go in. They had already anticipated the outcome of this trial; they were destined to get nothing at all.

Just then, a sudden surge of energy emanated from the spatial portal, causing a slight stinging sensation on their faces.

"Huh? A fight broke out up ahead?"

Yu Chi Wei was taken aback.

This energy surge even penetrated the spatial portal; it seems the battle is quite intense.

Other members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance got excited at the sight of battle, but Yu Chi Wei and the others wished they could stay as far away from it as possible.

Seeing that the Masked Man, this menacing figure, was following them, the group had no choice but to enter the spatial portal, even though they were extremely unwilling.

As soon as they entered the spatial gate, they felt a terrifying storm coming. Even though the six of them were prepared beforehand, they were still violently pushed away by the storm. Chu Ke'er and Chu Qing'er, whose cultivation was weaker, were even pushed away by the storm!

What's going on?

All six were astonished. Previously, they had only encountered spirits along the way, and the battles had been minor skirmishes, nothing serious. But this time, it was so intense?

Having finally regained their footing, the six of them were completely stunned by the scene before them.

The battle before them was even more intense than they had imagined!

The members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance have all come out in full force, setting up multiple battle formations to fight against the other side.

Both sides suffered casualties, and the scene was extremely tragic.

Most strikingly, in the center of the standoff between the two sides, a girl in red stands atop a giant skeletal serpent.

She held a long whip, facing the Reincarnator of the Martial Arts Alliance and hundreds of members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance!

Her long hair was disheveled, and blood stained the corner of her mouth, making her look like a blood-soaked red plum blossom, exuding a poignant and beautiful aura.

"Who is she?"

Upon seeing the girl in red, Yu Chi Wei and the others couldn't immediately recall her identity.

But behind them, the Masked Man had remained expressionless and silent the entire way froze upon seeing the girl in red.

He stared at the girl in red through his cold mask and silent, empty eyes; time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Sister? Jiang Xiaorou...
