Calamity Star vs. the Regressor and the Child of Fortune
Blood Devil Ridge was once the mountain gate of the Blood Devil Sect.
This place seems to be soaked in blood, every inch of it, even after ten thousand years.
The rolling mountains still bore a shocking dark red hue, and the air was thick with the lingering stench of blood.
The trees in the mountains are strangely shaped, and when the wind blows, their branches and leaves sway like ghostly claws, making a rustling sound.
Su Yuxuan stood in mid-air above Blood Devil Ridge, her gaze sweeping over her surroundings.
Before long, ripples appeared in the void ahead, and a silver spatial gate suddenly appeared, from which Bai Qianqian's figure stepped out.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, you've arrived." Su Yuxuan spoke first.
Bai Qianqian nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, "Fellow Daoist Su, let's go."
"Good."
Su Yuxuan transformed into a streak of light and flew swiftly towards a valley deep within Blood Devil Ridge.
Bai Qianqian moved swiftly and followed closely behind.
A moment later, Su Yuxuan stood in mid-air, her gaze sweeping across the valley below. She was certain that this was the entrance to the Blood Devil Secret Realm.
In his previous life, the birth of the Blood Devil caused a great uproar, drawing attacks from both the righteous and demonic paths.
Many more people flocked to Blood Devil Ridge to find a way into the Blood Devil Secret Realm, and eventually discovered the secret of this valley:
Every three months, a spatial rift will open in the valley, leading to the secret realm, but it will close after only ten breaths.
The news spread, and treasure hunters flocked to the location.
She had also entered the Blood Devil Secret Realm in search of treasures to improve her cultivation.
Unfortunately, the secret realm had already been searched several times by then, and despite her best efforts, she only managed to find ten Bloodline Fruit.
In this life, she not only arrived earlier, but also had Bai Qianqian, the Child of Fortune, by her side.
Su Yuxuan believed that this trip would be very fruitful.
She looked at Bai Qianqian and explained, "Fellow Daoist Bai, this is the entrance to the Blood Devil Secret Realm."
The spatial rift opens once every three months, lasting only ten breaths.
According to my calculations, the spatial rift will open in three hours. We must enter immediately, or we will have to wait another three months.
There are also spatial turbulences within the spatial rifts. We must be careful not to get hit by them, or it will be dangerous.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqian nodded calmly. "Okay, I understand."
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, the void in the center of the valley twisted violently, and a spatial rift tore open.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, let's go in!"
Su Yuxuan let out a low shout, and her True Power shield instantly rose. The High-Grade Spirit Artifact, the Mysterious Light Pagoda, flashed with spiritual light, protecting her entire body.
He transformed into a streak of light and was the first to rush into the spatial rift.
Bai Qianqian did not hesitate. She activated her True Power shield, and another third-grade white lotus Present Self. She then rushed into the spatial rift.
In the blink of an eye, the two passed through the spatial rift and entered the Blood Devil Secret Realm.
The scene before me was chilling.
The world was ablaze with crimson; the earth, mountains, and even the vegetation were all a shocking shade of blood.
The overwhelming stench of blood was almost suffocating.
Su Yuxuan was filled with surprise. Even though the Blood Devil Secret Realm was close to the outside world, spatial rifts could still cause spatial turbulence.
You might even get grazed by the spatial turbulence if you're not careful.
If you're unlucky, you might even be struck directly by the spatial turbulence, ending up dead.
She had prepared herself for her Law Treasure to be damaged, but she was completely unharmed.
You should know that in her previous life, she had to damage Law Treasure to enter the Blood Devil Secret Realm.
Could it be that they avoided spatial turbulence because they were traveling with Bai Qianqian?
Hiss!
That must be it; the Child of Fortune is truly terrifying.
Just as the spatial rift was about to close, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from the depths of the rift.
Immediately afterwards, a disheveled figure emerged from the bell-shaped Law Treasure hanging from his head.
"Damn it! I was caught in the spatial turbulence and almost didn't get into the secret realm!"
Looking at the dimmed spirit of the precious bell, the man lamented, "My newly forged Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact, the Immeasurable Bell, is ruined like this! What bad luck!"
When Su Yuxuan felt this powerful aura and looked up to see the person's face clearly, she was utterly terrified and her soul seemed to leave her body.
"Misfortune, Mei Kong! How could it be you!"
What are you doing here?
It's over, it's completely over! Why am I so unlucky?!
Bai Qianqian keenly caught the words "jinx" and heard the despair in Su Yuxuan's tone.
His brows furrowed instantly, his aura hardened, and he stared warily at the newcomer.
"Did you follow us in?"
Mei Kong reacted extremely quickly. Sensing someone nearby, a flash of spiritual light enveloped her, and her previous disheveled state vanished instantly, restoring her dignified and otherworldly appearance.
His gaze swept over Su Yuxuan, whose face was filled with despair, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Su, I never expected to meet you here. It is truly fate."
He then turned to Bai Qianqian, whose face was full of vigilance, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, there's no need to be so wary. I didn't follow you in, and I have no ill intentions towards you."
"Fellow Daoist Bai, run! Get away from him!"
Su Yuxuan, however, seemed to have seen a ghost and shouted loudly:
"Don't talk to him! You'll get bad luck from him!"
Last time, he really got me into trouble. If Liu Yi hadn't come to my rescue, I don't know how much more suffering I would have endured!
Fellow Daoist Su, you are mistaken.
Mei Kong's smile remained unchanged as he retorted, "Your previous calamity was solely due to your own karma; you cannot blame it on me."
Su Yuxuan dared not answer, fearing she would be tainted by bad luck. She turned and transformed into a streak of light, flying away into the distance without looking back.
When Bai Qianqian heard Su Yuxuan mention Liu Yi's name, a glint flashed in her eyes.
Although he had doubts, seeing how wary Su Yuxuan was, he dared not be negligent and immediately turned around and followed her away.
Her intuition told her that this person named Mei Kong was no good, and was quite sinister.
Mei Kong watched Su Yuxuan and Bai Qianqian leave in a hurry, but did not stop them. He simply stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.
"This Bai Qianqian... the dragon of destiny coils around her, she is actually a Child of Fortune!"
That's interesting, really interesting.
I wonder if she can withstand my bad luck?
That can't be right!
After all, not everyone is like that monster Liu Yi, able to ignore my bad luck.
The thought of Liu Yi made him grit his teeth.
"It's all that bastard Liu Yi's fault! He stole my fortune accumulated over hundreds of years."
I invited him to explore the Blood Devil Secret Realm together, but he refused. With him here, I'm safer, and I don't need to risk coming in alone to search for the Immortal Artifact!
He then thought of the two people from earlier, "Could it be that Liu Yi really didn't come in with Su Yuxuan?"
Only Su Yuxuan and Bai Qianqian entered the secret realm?
However, Su Yuxuan's luck has also become much stronger, which is really strange.
Does defeating Zhu Yizhou and washing away the shame really enhance one's fortune?
That seems unlikely!
Unable to figure out the details, he simply shook his head, stopped worrying about it, and flew towards the depths of the secret realm.
Only when she was completely away from Mei Kong did Su Yuxuan dare to stop, her back already soaked with cold sweat.
"Finally... away from that jinx!"
She patted her chest, still shaken, her voice trembling slightly.
"What bad luck! We ran into him as soon as we entered the Blood Devil Secret Realm. This trip is probably going to be extremely dangerous."
She entered the system with her Divine Sense, and after a thorough check, a look of relief appeared on her face.
She looked at Bai Qianqian and said urgently, "Fellow Daoist Bai, fortunately the system's Spatial Teleportation function is still working and has not been affected by the Blood Devil Secret Realm."
Let's get out of this secret realm quickly!
Now that this jinx Mei Kong, has entered, and we've even run into him, it's too dangerous for us to stay here.
"Let's wait until our bad luck dissipates before we come in!"
