Chapter 689: Chapter 365: Searching the Soul, Enemy from Beyond
The 726 Blood Disciple actually didn't hesitate to retreat directly, which was beyond Xu Yan's expectations, especially since that last strike was extremely powerful, so powerful that even after he had broken through to the minor achievement stage of the Divine Skill Realm, it was still somewhat strenuous to resist.
As he moved to block the path of the 726 Blood Disciple, the latter seemed to have anticipated this and turned into a streak of blood light that instantly escaped into the depths of the Azure Sea.
He was determined to flee, with no regard for the lives of those Blood Slaves.
The 726 Blood Disciple felt a heavy weight on his heart. Xu Yan was already so terrifying; what if there were a dozen or more Xu Yans in this Domain?
Once they grew in power, they would pose a tremendous threat.
He must report this matter and formulate a plan to eradicate them.
Apart from Xu Yan, the other three people and one tiger were not to be underestimated; in the same realm, perhaps no one in the Netherworld could match them!
With his mind set on fleeing, Xu Yan knew it would be difficult to stop the 726 Blood Disciple, especially after the great battle they just had, and particularly after withstanding that last strike, Xu Yan had expended quite a bit of energy.
Even with his prodigious martial arts foundation, which was rapidly recovering, he had not yet returned to his peak condition, so Xu Yan didn't insist on stopping the Blood Disciple.
Instead, he followed closely behind, wanting to see what the Heavenly Grotto in the Azure Sea Abyss was all about.
The figure of the 726 Blood Disciple had already reached above the Azure Sea Abyss and was about to enter the Heavenly Grotto when suddenly the Domain darkened, and space itself seemed to freeze.
The figure of the 726 Blood Disciple instantly froze, unable to move at all, as if space itself had bound him in place.
"What is this?"
The 726 Blood Disciple was shocked.
A powerful being!
Could it be that a strong figure from the Divine Realm has come to aid us?
The Divine Bridge had collapsed, and even if a powerful being came to help, they would need to restore the Divine Bridge to reach the Spiritual Realm in such a short time!
However, the Divine Bridge had not been repaired!
A massive hand reached down, as if scooping up the space the disciple occupied along with him.
The Great Sky Hand!
"Master!"
Xu Yan paused, recognizing the Great Sky Hand!
"The same Great Sky Hand, my understanding of it is far too inferior compared to Master!"
Xu Yan sighed to himself.
When Li Xuan saw that the 726 Blood Disciple was not continuing the fight and instead fleeing in haste, he would not let him get away, so he directly made a move and captured him.
The emergence of the Ice State Grotto had caused a disaster, and the Heavenly Grotto of the Azure Sea Abyss was far more threatening than the Ice State Grotto; the 726 Blood Disciple had even destroyed the Divine Bridge and killed a Heavenly Venerable.
And to understand the existence of the Heavenly Grotto, the 726 Blood Disciple was undoubtedly a clue.
What precisely was the Netherworld?
For this reason, Li Xuan personally took action and captured the 726 Blood Disciple.
With his current strength, capturing the 726 Blood Disciple was merely a matter of thought and as effortless as blowing off dust.
The 726 Blood Disciple was terrified. In the blink of an eye, he found himself before a young man.
The man sat leisurely in a chair.
Next to him stood an incredibly beautiful woman, seemingly a beauty from the Sea Spirit Tribe.
"You..."
The 726 Blood Disciple's face showed disbelief. Was there such a powerful being in the Spiritual Realm?
An Immortal Heavenly Venerable?
The Netherworld Blood Child was at the level of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable and could easily capture him without effort.
But the person before him seemed to be much more than just an Immortal Heavenly Venerable.
"Netherworld?"
Li Xuan looked down at the 726 Blood Disciple with a tone that seemed somewhat disdainful of the Netherworld.
He lifted a hand and pressed it directly on the 726 Blood Disciple's head.
There was no need for interrogation; direct soul searching would be more efficient.
He hadn't used the Soul Searching Secret Technique since acquiring it, and regardless of what damage it might cause the 726 Blood Disciple, he naturally didn't care.
This was an invader; this was an enemy.
The 726 Blood Disciple felt his consciousness roar, as if he had fallen into a strange state, with memories and consciousness being sifted through, and he was profoundly shocked!
Realizing something was wrong, he roared in his heart, trying to resist this terrifying power.
However, he could not muster even a hint of resistance.
Li Xuan's gaze was indifferent, and as he searched through the memories of the 726 Blood Disciple, they began to unfold until a sudden surge of blood light appeared, as if a mysterious force had sealed off the secrets deep within the 726's consciousness.
In an instant, the 726 Blood Disciple burst into a cloud of blood mist and dissipated completely.
Li Xuan's eyebrows twitched. The memories of the 726 Blood Disciple that involved some secret seemed to be protected by a kind of seal.
Once touched, it instantly ignited, completely collapsing the disciple's consciousness, collapsing the 726 Blood Disciple.
"Very powerful."
Li Xuan's heart chilled slightly. The one behind the scenes who could collapse the consciousness of the 726 Blood Disciple in an instant, under his soul searching, was certainly not as simple as an Immortal Heavenly Venerable.
"The Netherworld Blood Lord?"
Li Xuan mused.
Although he had not managed to uncover the core secrets of the 726 Blood Disciple's consciousness, he did obtain a lot of useful information.
The Netherworld seemed to be a certain Domain.
The 726 Blood Disciple was a servant or perhaps a disciple of the Netherworld Blood Lord, and above the Blood Disciple was the Xuezhi.
As for the Netherworld Blood Lord, he was enigmatic and mysterious. Li Xuan only saw this name in the memories of the 726 Blood Disciple, and as for the appearance and other details, perhaps they were core secrets, now inaccessible due to the collapse of the 726's consciousness.
"The Netherworld Cave?"
Li Xuan murmurs to himself.
The 726 Blood Disciple had plotted for a long time for this day, but in the end, he still failed.
