"Since the Blood God becomes stronger afterward, why don't you all become Blood Gods as well?" Che Ma asked, voicing his confusion.
"That's because after becoming a Blood God, you are no longer yourself. Those who become Blood Gods gradually lose their sanity and become increasingly mad. Only a few can maintain their rationality," Tori Xue explained.
Without a doubt, she was a clever little girl, even more courageous and wise than Tori Mu.
"Is that so? Then have you never resisted afterward? Have you ever seen a true Blood God?"
"Of course we have. Even now, we are still resisting. Each time we do, it leads to fewer of our pure Three-Eyed Beast Clan. We have thought about leaving this secret realm, but the entire place is tainted by the Blood God, making it extremely difficult to escape."
"Can you take me and my sister away from here? As long as you help us leave, I would face any danger without hesitation!" Tori Mu looked at Che Ma with hopeful eyes.
Che Ma also felt a sense of crisis regarding this altered secret realm and had considered leaving immediately. However, he ultimately shook his head firmly.
He had come here for the trial; if he couldn't advance his strength further, then even if he returned now, he would be powerless against the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony in just over ten days.
Rather than that, it was better to continue exploring this secret realm. Although it had become more dangerous and bizarre, there would surely be benefits as well. The growth of the Soul Devourer was proof of that.
If he could kill more Blood-Eyed Three-Eyed Beast Clan members here and allow the Soul Devourer to fully recover, it would be a tremendous boost to his strength.
"Take me to see your king. I will help you deal with the Blood-Eyed Three-Eyed Beast Clan."
Although Tori Mu felt disappointed in her heart, she nodded nonetheless.
"Alright, I will take you to see our king."
She knew that this was her only option at the moment. She took Tori Xue's hand again and led Che Ma in a specific direction.
Along the way, she kept orienting herself until half an hour later, they stopped beneath a majestic peak.
"Sir, our tribe is nearby. Because of the Blood-Eyed Three-Eyed Beast Clan, our people are very wary of outsiders. Can you let my brother go back first to report?"
"What a smart girl," Che Ma thought.
Che Ma immediately saw Tori Xue's intention; she was afraid that once he reached his destination, he would kill her and Tori Mu.
"No problem."
"No! Sister, you go back. I will stay here with the adult."
Tori Mu quickly understood Tori Xue's intention as well and expressed his willingness to stay with Che Ma.
"Alright, your sister wants you to return and report the news, so just go back without any more nonsense."
Upon hearing this, Tori Mu gritted his teeth, cast a deep glance at Tori Xue, and swiftly entered the depths of the mountains.
Chen Moxuan did not wait outside; instead, he concealed his presence and followed closely behind Tori Mu as he continued forward.
Tori Mu wound through the mountains for a while, ensuring he was far from Che Ma before finally entering a cave at the foot of the mountain.
The cave was pitch black and twisted downward, with numerous side passages branching off. If one were not familiar with the area, it would be nearly impossible to find the correct path; they could easily get lost inside.
Tori Mu walked for half an hour before finally emerging into an underground cavern.
As soon as he stepped out, he was blocked by two burly members of the Three-Eyed Beast Clan.
"Who goes there?"
"I am Tori Mu; I have important matters to report to the king."
The two guards of the Three-Eyed Beast Clan checked Tori Mu and found no issues before allowing him to enter.
It was surprising that these members of the Three-Eyed Beast Clan were hiding underground; was it to avoid the blood moon shining in the sky?
What exactly was that blood moon?
Although the Blood Emperor had been killed by him, the Blood Sea possessed its own will. Could the situation here be related to the Blood Sea? Or perhaps it had something to do with that disciple mentioned by the Blood Emperor?
The Blood Emperor had once devised a method of magic; though he had failed himself, he spoke of having an exceptionally clever disciple who might succeed.
In that moment, Chen Moxuan thought of many things. He had a premonition that here he might uncover secrets hidden by the Blood Emperor.
Tori Mu was very familiar with this underground cavern and quickly made his way into a grand hall.
The walls of this hall were adorned with various mysterious symbols carved into them.
At the end of the grand ceremony, a man radiating a sense of power was flipping through a book. This man was none other than Tori Fa, the current king of the Three-Eyed Beast Clan!
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report," Tori Mu rushed in, speaking urgently.
"It's you, Tori Mu. Just tell me what's on your mind," Tori Fa replied, clearly recognizing Tori Mu, his tone gentle and calm. He remained unaffected by Tori Mu's anxious demeanor, exuding a tranquil strength.
Having led the Three-Eyed Beast Clan to hold their ground against the corruption of the Blood God within the secret realm, Tori Fa was no ordinary figure. He possessed not only formidable strength but also considerable wisdom.
"I encountered someone from another world outside. He hasn't been tainted by the Blood God at all. Perhaps we can use his presence to escape this secret realm and avoid being trapped here forever!"
Upon hearing this news, Tori Fa finally showed signs of interest. The thought of leaving this secret realm had crossed his mind during their resistance against the Blood God. Unfortunately, having lived in this realm for so long, even without direct corruption from the Blood God, their bodies had already been tainted.
Whenever they thought about leaving the secret realm, they would be targeted by it; the Blood-Eyed Three-Eyed Beast Clan would immediately detect their location and come charging at them like madmen. Furthermore, the entire realm resisted their attempts to leave, and any previous exits had long since changed.
"I understand. You may go now," Tori Fa said after a moment of shock, returning to his earlier calm demeanor.
"This could be our greatest chance to escape this secret realm! Your Majesty, you must not miss it! The person who came from outside is very powerful and willing to stand with us against the Blood-Eyed Three-Eyed Beast Clan!"
"Yes, I will consider it carefully. You may leave now; I will ensure you are well rewarded," Tori Fa replied. Tori Mu seemed eager to say more, but Tori Fa urged him to depart.
With no other choice, he left.
"Now that my friend has been gone for so long, shouldn't he reveal himself?" Tori Fa suddenly addressed the empty hall after Tori Mu exited.
