Seeing the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect easily deal with those Righteous Path disciples, Luo Yan felt a chill in his heart. He turned to the leader and said, "Leader, shall we continue to the Central Hall? So many people from the Righteous Path have come in; we need to hurry. The thing that controls the Demon Tomb can be wielded by anyone, regardless of their cultivation level."
"Hmph! I hope you are not behind all this, or else..." The leader of the Evil Ridge Sect shot a glance at Luo Yan, threatening him.
Luo Yan quickly smiled and replied, "How could that be possible? After all, I am one of the Evil Path. Even if I wanted to inform the Righteous Path about the emergence of the Demon Tomb, they would probably just see it as my scheme to harm them!"
Hearing Luo Yan's explanation, the leader looked at him with some doubt. Could it really not be him who spread the news? What he said was indeed correct; as an Evil Cultivator, if he were to leak such information, no one from the Righteous Path would believe him.
Luo Yan was also somewhat puzzled. He initially intended for both sides to come, so he had planned to pass on the message to the Righteous Path. However, he couldn't send it directly; he intended to arrange for his subordinates to pretend to have a conversation that accidentally let the Righteous Path hear about it. But by that time, he realized he had no one left to use.
Naturally, he could no longer use members of the Heavenly Demon Sect since they had spies planted by the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect. But aside from them, who else did he have at his disposal?
Thus, he truly hadn't informed anyone from the Righteous Path. Now that so many of them had entered here, it left Luo Yan feeling somewhat strange.
"Let's go; take me to the Central Hall. Since so many people have entered the Demon Tomb, we need to hurry. I just hope these fools don't provoke us like those few did earlier; otherwise, I'll have to waste time dealing with them!" Just as Luo Yan was lost in thought, the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect spoke up.
Luo Yan quickly regained his focus. He knew that they had already covered almost all of the Demon Tomb under his guidance with the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect and couldn't afford to go around any longer; otherwise, it might raise suspicions.
Therefore, Luo Yan could only lead the leader toward the true direction of the Central Hall, feeling somewhat anxious. He hoped that Ling Mo Xie and the others had already escaped from Star Pavilion and made their way to the Central Hall. However, since there hadn't been any changes in the Demon Tomb yet, it seemed that no one had gained control over it.
Meanwhile, Ling Mo Xie and his companions found their journey much easier with a sect leader among them. Any formidable formations or traps they encountered were easily dispelled by him.
After traveling for a while, they finally arrived before a grand hall.
This was a lavishly decorated palace-like structure with its doors wide open. Inside was a spacious area with a high platform in the center topped by a grand chair carved with dragons and phoenixes. However, the entire hall was adorned in dark red colors, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
The sect leader was relatively unaffected due to his high cultivation level, but Ling Mo Xie and his companions felt suffocated by the heavy ambiance.
Noticing their discomfort, the sect leader released his aura to envelop them, which alleviated their distress significantly.
"This is what Luo Yan referred to as the Central Hall? Although it's wide open, it seems no one has entered yet. It's quite eerie and intimidating," Ling Mo Xie remarked with a frown as he gazed at the hall before him, seemingly speaking to himself but also addressing Xu Qingfeng and others.
The Daoist Sect Leader, perhaps emboldened by his skills, appeared much calmer as he looked around the grand hall and said, "No wonder it's the Heavenly Demon Sect. The aura of its presence still lingers in this hall, which must make you feel quite oppressive. There should be traps set here as well, but how come I haven't detected a single one?"
Upon hearing the Daoist Sect Leader's words, Ling Mo Xie glanced at him in surprise. How could it be possible that even the Daoist Sect Leader had not found any traces of traps? The Heavenly Demon Sect surely wouldn't neglect to set up some traps in such a crucial location.
The group stood at the entrance of the grand hall for a while, and finally, the Daoist Sect Leader said, "Regardless, as you mentioned, the Evil Ridge Sect Leader should also be on his way here. We don't have much time to waste; we'll find out if there are any traps once we go in."
With that, he took the lead and walked into the grand hall. Xu Qingfeng and Ling Mo Xie exchanged glances and followed suit. Since the Daoist Sect Leader had entered, they had no reason not to follow.
To their surprise, it seemed there were indeed no traps. They smoothly made their way into the grand hall, and once inside, the oppressive aura dissipated. It seemed that there was something special about this hall that neutralized that feeling.
Just as they were feeling relieved and preparing to search for whatever controlled the Demon Tomb within the hall, they suddenly felt a shift before their eyes; everything around them turned dark as if they were no longer in the grand hall.
Once they adjusted to the darkness, they realized it wasn't complete blackness but rather a very dim dark red hue. The surroundings were filled with this extremely oppressive and evil color. Just as they were puzzled by this change, a Red Light streaked past them, vivid like blood.
As that Red Light passed by, the entire space seemed to awaken from its silence. Countless Red Lights shot across like meteors but offered no sense of beauty; instead, they created a feeling of confusion and panic.
"Awoo!" "Roar!" After the dazzling Red Lights passed by, a series of beastly roars echoed through the air.
Ling Mo Xie then noticed that at some point, these Red Lights had completely formed into numerous ferocious beasts. These beasts had sharp claws and fangs, their bodies a bright red color as if blood could still flow from them. Their eyes were also crimson, exuding an aura of brutality reminiscent of primordial beasts. Being surrounded by so many ferocious creatures was truly terrifying.
The Daoist Sect Leader was undoubtedly the calmest among them. Looking at the blood-red beasts before him, he explained to the others, "I didn't expect that the Heavenly Demon Sect would prepare these things here; this truly invites hatred from the demon race."
"What are these?" Ling Mo Xie asked curiously.
The Daoist Sect Leader looked at the blood-colored beasts and replied, "These creatures originally had no name but later came to be known as Blood Beasts. They are created from the blood of demon beings who died filled with resentment due to their grievances."
"The Blood Beasts carry with them the hatred of their former demon race. Since demons themselves are inherently violent beings, when combined with their resentment, Blood Beasts become incredibly savage—devoid of any thought except for their instinct to kill. Right now, these Blood Beasts haven't charged at us yet; they must be restricted by this space created by the Heavenly Demon Sect."
"This strange space is also a creation of the Heavenly Demon Sect? How do we get out? While these Blood Beasts are still under control, we need to think quickly about how to escape!" Ling Mo Xie said urgently after hearing the Daoist Sect Leader's explanation.
However, the Daoist Sect Leader shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That's impossible. I've already figured it out—the only way to exit this space is to kill all of the Blood Beasts!"
Hearing the words of the Daoist Sect Leader, Ling Mo Xie was somewhat taken aback. What kind of joke was this? Looking at the nearly endless sea of red Blood Beasts before him, it was clear that there were not just one or two, but countless numbers. Moreover, judging by the Daoist Sect Leader's tone and the fact that this was the work of the Heavenly Demon Sect, these Blood Beasts were certainly not simple.
"Get ready, there are too many Blood Beasts here. I might not be able to pay attention to you all later, so be careful. The Blood Beasts can absorb your blood to recover themselves, so it's best not to get injured. If you do get hurt, quickly seal the wound with Spiritual Energy; in short, do not let your blood be exposed to the air." The Daoist Sect Leader spoke calmly, giving instructions to Ling Mo Xie and the others, showing confidence in his ability to kill these Blood Beasts.
Ling Mo Xie felt a bit relieved and began to circulate his Spiritual Energy, ready to act at any moment. Since his System was still upgrading, he could only use his skills as Spells and had to channel his own mana. This was a bit unfamiliar for Ling Mo Xie, who was used to casting skills with just a thought.
Thus, his skills felt somewhat awkward to use. In this situation, mistakes were not allowed, which made Ling Mo Xie feel a bit tense.
"Roar!" With a collective roar, all the Blood Beasts seemed to have gained their freedom and rushed towards Ling Mo Xie and the others with excitement gleaming in their eyes.
There were many Blood Beasts, each with different forms due to being made from various demon species. Some crawled like snakes on the ground while others flew like birds in the sky. At this moment, they attacked from all directions, making it difficult for them to decide whether to deal with those in the air or those on the ground.
Fortunately, they were not alone. The group quickly divided their tasks. The Spell Ling Mo Xie obtained in the Heavenly Sound Secret Realm came in handy as he unleashed a Fire Bull Charge against the Blood Beasts charging directly at them.
These Blood Beasts were indeed formidable creations of the Heavenly Demon Sect—not only were there many of them, but they were also quite powerful. Although the Fire Bull Charge trampled countless Blood Beasts and evaporated many due to their blood composition, causing their sizes to shrink significantly, the overall damage inflicted on them was still minimal. Only two or three Blood Beasts were killed; most were merely pushed back or had lost some mass.
Xu Qingfeng and Hong Chi faced similar situations; their area-of-effect Spell caused only minimal casualties among the Blood Beasts.
While single-target Spells generally had greater power, facing such a large number of Blood Beasts rushing towards them inevitably led to some confusion about which one to attack first.
