Hearing this, the rest of the team members turned to look at the dark cave behind them, puzzled.

“Don’t you think it’s especially quiet back there?” The team leader deliberately asked this question, and then said a few more ambiguous points, which immediately made the atmosphere in the darkness feel particularly strange.

“Could it be that there are those kinds of creatures here?” One of the team members was so frightened by his imagination that his face turned pale and his legs trembled.

The others looked at each other, and one of the muscular men sneered disdainfully, “Xiao Liu, what are you thinking about every day? Even if there is such a thing, with our boss’s ability, he can kill all of them!”

“Yeah, with boss’s psychic blade, no matter what comes, the other party will definitely lose…”

“It’s all thanks to the boss that our team can rank among the top ten in the Black Flood Dragon Gang, which is why we were lucky enough to receive this treasure-hunting mission!”

“Speaking of which, this mission is quite strange. It only said that we should enter the cave and keep walking further in. After we reach that place, we have to set up an array, and that’s all.”

“Who cares? After we finish this job, we can go to the brothel and enjoy ourselves again!”

“We were the ones who sent that sissy in there last time. I wonder if he’s still alive after these few days…”

“Haha, what kind of bitch does the brothel not have?”

“…”

Just as the dirty words of the team members were getting out of hand, the team leader interrupted, “Stop dawdling and hurry up!”

He retracted his gaze and continued to lead the team forward with a plate-shaped treasure in his hand.

It seems like he had been here for too long and was thus hallucinating.

Less than ten meters away, a man and a butterfly were communicating in secret.

“Fei Nuo Shao, why do I feel that team leader has a layer of yin energy around him?” Chu Feng’s face looked eerie because of the green light around him.

Moreover, the team that they were following had obviously been circling around the same spot for more than ten minutes, yet no one had noticed it.

“It can’t be that they’ve run into a ghost, right?” Just as Chu Feng was thinking such, he suddenly heard a sharp scream.

“Ah!”

Then, the team was in a mess for some time before they continued to move forward in bewilderment.

Through Fei Nuo Sha’s vision, Chu Feng could see a mass of reddish green yin energy spread out and attach themselves to the backs of the eight people. Some of the yin energy tried to attach to Chu Feng and the Mirage Butterfly as well, but with a flash of the spatial blade, they dissipated.

Chu Feng raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect this special derivative creature to be so weak. It made the unsuspecting team look especially weak.

It was reasonable though, after all, the stronger ones in the team were all already under control.

After that inexplicable scream, the eight-man team was unusually silent. As if more than two kinds of willpower were fighting for control in their bodies, the team would occasionally make contradictory actions. To speed up their progress, Chu Feng would help them break the illusion whenever they started circling the same place.

They were silent all the way until the sky suddenly brightened up.

“We’re finally here!”

“Xiao Liu, what are you doing? Didn’t we say that we should listen to the arrangements of the mission publisher?”

“What mission publisher? Isn’t it time to break the array?”

“…”

The friction between the teammates along the way was thus exposed. Chu Feng watched coldly from the side. He watched as fresh blood of various colors sprinkled on the empty cave, then flowed and formed an intricate and strange array diagram. With a flash of red light, all existences that did not belong to this area vanished.

At the same time, everyone in the sky region and even the entire eastern divine region received the news.

[The Bloody Pagoda has been opened. Seven days later, those who kill the most blood souls will receive an opportunity.]

[The Pagoda does not ban killing. Cultivators from the immortal level to the God King realm can all enter.]

A coordinate that was located somewhere desolate was sent along with the willpower that sent out the news. After receiving this message, Richardson, who had left the sky region, turned around and returned. At this moment, if someone was by his side, they could hear him muttering, “Strange. How did the temple know that I’m near the sky region? They even asked me to team up with the other temple’s officials to take down that pagoda.”

Compared to the order to seize the pagoda, what made him more intrigued was that the temple seemed to be very familiar with the Blood Pagoda. Richardson suppressed his thoughts and continued to head there.

At the same time, many factions were also moving, racing against time to reach their destination.

In the original location of the Nine Gods Council in the sky region, several immortals were gathered, their expressions abruptly changing.

“Cullen, we still can’t contact the sovereign?” Melda’s voice was heavy.

The Mountain God shook his head, “The sovereign has probably entered the Bloody Pagoda. His condition is exactly the same as written in old books of history.”

The other immortals were shocked and panicked.

“Wasn’t the Bloody Pagoda sealed long ago? Why did it suddenly appear in the sky region?!”

“The Eastern Temple was the one who sealed it back then. Could it be…”

“Isn’t the most important thing now the Bloody Pagoda’s appearance?”

“Logically speaking, every time the Bloody Pagoda appears, the Holy Tower will appear as well. Why didn’t the Bloody Pagoda tell us where the Holy Tower is this time?!”

“I heard that when the tower appeared last time, the region it was in was affected by the Bloody Pagoda’s killings, and that place is still a dead area!”

“According to the secret records, the more blood souls killed in the Bloody Pagoda, the more blood debts one would have. Although the treasures one would obtain would be better, the backlash will be several times greater than the slaughter one has done! Moreover, even God Venerables might not be able to deal with the evil spirits that are hatched at the end!”

“Last time, a God Emperor had made a move, but he only managed to save less than a hundred people who entered the pagoda.”

“After the hundred gods came out, they suffered from the backlash as well. They killed all the living beings around the pagoda and even the entire region!”

“After encountering such a tragedy, it’s no wonder that no one dares to approach those regions until now…”

“So what should we do now? It can’t be that the sky region is going to turn into a hell on Earth, right?”

“Why don’t we hurry up and move our races away so that we won’t be exterminated!”

The gods were panicking. Only the Mountain God managed to remain calm. “We can’t do much here. We have to wait and see what the temple says.”

Hearing this, the immortals finally calmed down. The temple had always ruled the eastern divine region. After this sudden incident, they might even announce that they would deny entry to the Bloody Pagoda. This way, even if the Bloody Pagoda was opened, there might not be too many casualties.

Melda had been frowning as he was looking for someone to help investigate. Not long after, he received a reply.

“The temple doesn’t intend to stop the cultivators this time, and they have already arranged for people to enter the pagoda. As for what they will do after entering, we don’t know for now,” Melda repeated with a frown, sighing in disappointment.

“Sigh, now we can only pray that the sovereign doesn’t blindly kill, or else he will definitely suffer a backlash.”

The Mountain God Cullen also said, “I hope that the temple will send people in to explain the situation, so that some of them will give up early, so as to prevent more casualties. If a hundred maniacs appear, the sky region will most likely be doomed!”

The Bloodthirsty Vine Yorkie knew little about it, so he could not help but ask, “Can’t we take the Bloody Pagoda for our own use?”
