Huo Hai's cultivation had already made him the equal of a Seventh Heaven expert. Even without the battle strength his Spirit Insects could unleash, he was still terrifyingly powerful. With the Blood Lotus Saintess, whose explosive force was immensely formidable, at his side, the two of them were anything but ordinary.
With the two joining forces, unless a Ninth-Heaven Spirit Saint stepped in to stop them, even Eighth Heaven experts could not hold them back. As for those Ninth-Heaven Spirit Saints, they had been regarded as the greatest threats when the scramble first began, so every one of them had suffered injuries. The most severely wounded among them was in particularly bad shape. Thus, as soon as they emerged, those people had already left.
Working together, the pair quickly carved their way out from the center of the battlefield. Once they had gone far enough, they were basically safe. At this point, those people did not want to keep fighting—they simply could not stop.
Therefore, once they left the battlefield, there was nothing more to worry about. "Thank you for this time." The Blood Lotus Saintess's voice slowly rang out. Huo Hai was startled. He had not expected the Saintess to actually thank him.
"No need for courtesy. You helped me once before as well, so this makes us even." Huo Hai did not know why the Blood Lotus Saintess had helped him before, but no matter what, she had been of great help to him. Had she not appeared, he could only have given up that cluster of Heavenly Refining Fire. Later on, he probably would not have been able to kill Qingyun at all. That was a tremendous favor.
After the battle just now, Huo Hai more or less understood the origin of the Blood Lotus Saintess's title.
