Jiang Hao stood on the Blood Pool and looked in the direction where he heard Qian Chen’s voice.
He couldn’t help but sigh.
The other person had completed the task, which meant his plan had failed. “It’s time to leave. It seems we can’t wait for the task to be completed.”
Under normal circumstances, these people would surely wait for the mission to be completed. However, these were not normal times.
Qian Chen had chosen a path that was in opposition to the Heavenly Note Sect, and the sooner he completed it, the better.
Jiang Hao looked at the Blood Pool and sighed.
He thought of going inside to see if there was a way to find Senior Qian Chen, as he seemed to have a certain connection with the Blood Pool.
As he walked further inside, Jiang Hao felt that the Blood Pool became clearer. The changes were suppressed by the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
After about an hour, Jiang Hao felt ripples in the blood beneath his feet, like a tide rising and falling. This change puzzled him because it had remained still before.
After making sure that his golden ring was activated, he walked toward the source of these ripples.
The deeper he went, the larger the ripples became. Jiang Hao looked deeper and felt something eerie.
Where he stood, the Blood Pool was covered in a blood-red hue, while the area beyond the ripples seemed to lack the crimson color. It appeared gray in an overcast sky. This meant that he was approaching the source.
Jiang Hao recognized the large green sphere in the sky. It was the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl that The End of All Things was after.
“I didn’t expect it to be here, and it seems to be trying to absorb the Blood Pool,” he muttered.
What puzzled him was why the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl couldn’t absorb the Blood Sea. Logically, it should absorb flesh and blood. The fact that the Blood Pool remained relatively unaffected was strange.
Jiang Hao turned back. The Earth Extreme Silent Pearl was probably in a sealed state, but it would be best to keep a distance from it.
During his observation, he glanced down to the edge of the Blood Pool and saw that it extended down for hundreds of feet.
This was no longer a pool. It was a Blood Sea.
‘I found the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, but…’
This was not good because once The End of All Things found it, the Heavenly Note Sect would become the center of a storm. He might be in danger.
‘I need to find a way to contact someone from either Bright Moon Sect or Clear Sky School and urge them to take it away.’
These two sects were reliable. The only concern was whether they would destroy the Heavenly Note Sect to ensure the safety of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. The probability of that happening was quite high.
Jiang Hao sighed. If that were the case, going there would be akin to asking for disaster.
He needed to find a way to obtain the pearl before The End of All Things and give it to Xing for safekeeping.
However, obtaining it was not an easy task. The real entrance was definitely not here.
‘I should ask Hong Yuye about it when I get back.’
Jiang Hao began searching the area to see if he could sense the connection between the Blood Pool and others.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. He realized that he had been in the Blood Pool all along. It was difficult for him to sense connections with the Blood Pool. To do that, he needed to enter the Blood Pool.
Jiang Hao didn’t hesitate. He held the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl and entered the Blood Pool.
As soon as he entered, he felt the blood water transmitting information and merging with him. This was due to the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
In just a few breaths, Jiang Hao sensed three connections related to the Blood Pool.
One was weak. It was likely Senior Qian Chen.
One had a strong presence. That must be Liu Xingchen who was controlled by the Blood Demon.
The last one felt vast and close. It was likely Gu Jin.
With that confirmed, Jiang Hao left the Blood Pool and quickly headed toward Senior Qian Chen’s location.
Entering the Blood Pool had changed his perception of the surroundings, and he could even influence the Blood Pool’s changes.
It seemed that he was gradually gaining control over the Blood Pool.
In Devil’s Den, a group of people in black robes had captured many disciples, and these captives were looking at the black-robed individuals in surprise.
“Are you all insane?” a disciple at the Late stage of Foundation Establishment Realm shouted angrily.
“Senior Brother Xu Feng, there’s no need to struggle. We brought you here, and we’ve thought about the consequences,” said a black-robed woman calmly.
They were currently standing in front of a forest and waiting for someone to come out.
“Senior Sister Liang Yue, are you trying to destroy everything, including yourselves?” Qi Yang asked. He was unwilling to accept what was happening.
They had never expected that their senior sister, who had always been close to them, would actually turn against them. She even claimed she needed them for a sacrifice.
“Junior Brother Qi Yang, given the current situation, there’s no need for more words. You don’t understand us,” Liang Yue said.
“Do you remember Jiang Hao? Your friend from the outer sect.”
“I remember,” Qi Yang said.
“We intended to capture him this time. He is truly exceptional and ranks at the top with remarkable achievements, and his rapid cultivation progress is astonishing. At such a young age, he has already reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and we need such a genius,” Liang Yue said with a sigh.
Both Xu Feng and Qi Yang were taken aback. They remained silent.
Naturally, they had been keeping an eye on Jiang Hao’s progress, even though they didn’t discuss it openly.
“It seems like you do regret it. Who would have thought that the person everyone tried to ignore like the plague back then would now be on an important journey? We can only look up to him,” Liang Yue said with a wry smile. “Fortunately, I met Senior Brother Qian Chen. Otherwise, I might have just died somewhere.”
At that moment, a streak of blood-red light appeared, and Liang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
“Senior Brother Qian Chen is here..”
