After returning from the Lingxian Trial Tower, Duan Litang, Su Xueli, Ling Xianer and Tang Xiaotang have all improved their strength significantly, but the mystery of the blood contract still looms over their minds. One day, Su Xueli heard from the elders of the academy that there is an extremely rare spiritual plant growing in Qingyan Mountain - the Red Flame Lotus. This lotus is not only beneficial to cultivation, but may also be inextricably linked to the blood contract. After discussing, the four decided to form a team to go to Qingyan Mountain to explore.
Qingyan Mountain is located thousands of miles away from Lingxian Academy. From a distance, the whole mountain is covered by a thick red fog. From time to time, thick smoke rises from the top of the mountain, like a dormant red dragon, exuding a chilling breath. At the foot of the mountain, the heat waves are rolling, and people who get close can feel the scorching heat. Duan Litang and his four companions stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the mysterious and dangerous Qingyan Mountain in front of them, but their eyes were full of determination.
"This Qingyan Mountain looks very dangerous, everyone must be careful." Su Xueli looked solemn and reminded softly. She was wearing a light yellow gauze dress, her wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, her hair fluttering slightly in the heat wave, but it did not reduce her gentle temperament at all.
Tang Xiaotang nodded vigorously and took out a small sachet from her waist, which was filled with special spirit powder: "Don't worry, my spirit powder will definitely come in handy." She was wearing a light spirit outfit today. The hem and cuffs of her skirt were embroidered with lively spirit butterfly patterns, which flashed a faint fluorescence under the sunlight. Her playful ponytail swayed gently with her movements.
Ling Xian'er tightened the ice sword at her waist and swept across Qingyan Mountain with a cold gaze: "With me here, I will be able to protect everyone if there is any danger." She was wearing an ice-blue dress, like an ice fairy, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were cold enough to keep people at a distance, but when she looked at her companions, a hint of imperceptible concern flashed across her.
Duan Litang took a deep breath, feeling the warmth from the blood-red pendant on his chest, and encouraged himself and his companions: "The four of us can overcome all difficulties together." He was dressed in black tights, with an upright figure, and his eyes under his sword-like eyebrows were full of determination. After this period of experience, he became more calm and confident.
The four of them looked at each other and walked towards the depths of Qingyan Mountain. As soon as they stepped into the mountain, a strong smell of sulfur hit them in the face. The ground was scorching hot, and they could feel the soles of their shoes melting with every step. The surrounding trees were all red, and the bark was twisted and cracked as if it had been burned by fire. Occasionally, a few hot rocks rolled down from the mountain and hit the ground, splashing sparks.
As we went deeper, a huge fire ant nest appeared in front of us. Countless fire ants were busy around the nest. These fire ants were huge, as big as a palm, and their bodies were red, emitting a hot breath of fire. Their eyes flashed red, and once they noticed an outsider, they would attack without hesitation.
"Everyone be careful, these fire ants are not easy to deal with." Duan Litang said in a low voice, and at the same time, blood-colored wings slowly emerged behind him, ready for battle.
Tang Xiaotang walked forward, opened the sachet in his hand, and shook it gently. The spirit tribe's incense powder slowly floated out, forming a strange fragrance in the air. The fire ants smelled the fragrance, and their originally restless emotions instantly became even crazier. They rushed towards the four people at an extremely fast speed. Wherever they passed, the ground was burned by their flames.
"Quick, follow the plan!" Su Xueli shouted, quickly forming seals with both hands. A soft golden light appeared around her body, which quickly spread and formed a circular shield around the four people. It was the Lingxian Heart Protection Formation. The shield could not only resist external attacks, but also stabilize everyone's mind and prevent them from being disturbed by the flames.
Ling Xian'er was not to be outdone. She waved the ice sword in her hand, and a flash of ice-blue light flashed. The originally hot air instantly became cold, and a thick layer of ice quickly condensed on the ground. When the fire ants rushed over, they slipped on the ice and their movements became slow.
Duan Litang took advantage of the chaos of the fire ants, swung his blood-colored wings, and rushed towards the fire ants. The strong wind brought by the wings blew away the surrounding fire ants. He saw the right moment, condensed spiritual power in his hands, and attacked the core of the fire ants' nest. The powerful spiritual power instantly blasted a big hole in the nest, and the fire ants lost their command and became more chaotic.
Tang Xiaotang kept releasing the colorful butterfly arrows that flew through the fire ant swarm, each of which could accurately hit the fire ants and turn them into ashes. After a hard fight, the fire ant swarm was finally repelled. The four of them were a little out of breath, but their eyes were filled with the joy of victory.
"Huh, these fire ants are really troublesome." Tang Xiaotang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.
"Is everyone okay?" Su Xueli looked at everyone with concern and put away the Lingxian Heart Protection Formation.
"It's okay, thanks to everyone's concerted efforts." Duan Litang said with a smile, his eyes full of gratitude as he looked at his companions.
Ling Xian'er nodded slightly: "Keep going, the Red Flame Lotus should be just ahead."
The four of them continued to move forward, and the mountain road became more and more rugged and difficult to walk on. Suddenly, a huge volcanic crack appeared in front of them. The magma in the crack was rolling, steaming, and emitting a suffocating high temperature. The crack was several feet wide and bottomless, and it was extremely difficult to get through.
"What should I do?" Tang Xiaotang looked at the crack and frowned.
Ling Xian'er walked forward, staring at the crack with a focused look. After a moment, she formed seals with her hands and muttered something. A chill filled her body, and the ice sword in her hand shone brightly. As she moved, the magma in the crack began to cool gradually, and a thick layer of ice condensed on the surface. The ice layer continued to extend to the opposite side, and finally built an ice bridge across the crack.
"Everyone, be careful when you cross." Ling Xian'er said, and took the lead to step onto the ice bridge. The ice bridge trembled slightly under everyone's feet, but fortunately it was strong enough. The four of them walked across the ice bridge carefully and successfully reached the other side of the crack.
On the other side of the crack, a fiery red light came into view. On a huge rock, a beautiful red flame lotus was quietly blooming. The red flame lotus was fiery red, and its petals were as agile as burning flames. The stamens emitted powerful spiritual power fluctuations, and the surrounding air was distorted by the high temperature it emitted.
"That's it, the Red Flame Lotus!" A hint of surprise flashed across Duan Litang's eyes, and he walked forward quickly. When he approached the Red Flame Lotus and prepared to pick it, suddenly, a black flame spurted out from the center of the lotus without any warning. The black flame was extremely hot, and it instantly ignited the surrounding air, making a "sizzling" sound.
"Be careful!" Su Xueli, Ling Xian'er and Tang Xiaotang exclaimed at the same time. Duan Litang instinctively wanted to retreat, but the black flame was extremely fast and enveloped him in an instant. Just when everyone thought that Duan Litang was about to be swallowed by the black flame, the blood-colored pendant on his chest suddenly emitted a strong blood light. The blood light and the black flame intertwined with each other, and the pendant actually began to absorb the power of the black flame. As the pendant absorbed, the black flame gradually weakened and finally disappeared.
"Litang, are you okay?" Su Xueli ran to Duan Litang anxiously and looked him up and down.
Duan Litang took a deep breath and felt that there was nothing wrong with his body, but the pendant became unusually warm: "I'm fine, thanks to this pendant." He secretly wondered why the black flames emitted by the Red Flame Lotus were absorbed by the pendant. Could it be that this black flame was also related to the blood contract?
At this moment, Su Xueli, Ling Xian'er and Tang Xiaotang suddenly felt a slight vibration on their waists. They each took out the family's special jade slips, and saw a strange light flashing on the jade slips, revealing the secret letter from the family.
Su Xueli looked at the contents of the jade slip, and her face gradually became solemn: "News came from the Immortal Realm. Recently, there have been some rumors about the 'blood-colored descendants of the gods', which seem to be related to the blood contract. The family asked me to be careful and find out the truth as soon as possible." She looked at Duan Litang with worry in her eyes. In her mind, Duan Litang's life experience has always been a mystery. Is this rumor about the "blood-colored descendants of the gods" related to him?
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
Ling Xian'er tightly grasped the jade slip in her hand, frowning: "News came from the Demon Realm that a traitor appeared in the Ice Palace. This person seemed to know some secrets about the blood pact and was colluding with a mysterious force. My family asked me to go back and investigate immediately." A trace of anger flashed in her eyes. The Ice Palace was her home, and now that a traitor had appeared, she would never tolerate it.
Tang Xiaotang also finished reading the secret letter, her eyes full of anxiety: "There's something wrong with the sacred tree of the spirit tribe, and the spiritual power fluctuations are disordered. The tribe asked me to go back immediately to assist the elders in solving the problem." The sacred tree of the spirit tribe is of vital importance to the spirit tribe. Now that there is a problem with the sacred tree, she is extremely anxious.
The four of them looked at each other, their eyes full of worry. They originally thought that they were only coming to Qingyan Mountain to collect red flame lotus, but they didn't expect that it would lead to so many urgent matters concerning the family, and they were all inextricably linked to the blood contract.
"It seems that our trip to Qingyan Mountain this time is far more complicated than we imagined." Duan Litang said, his eyes firm, "But no matter what, we can't lose our composure. Since these things are related to the blood contract, we must face them together."
Su Xueli nodded slightly: "You are right, let's go back and deal with our family affairs first, and then we can explore the secret of the blood contract together after we have resolved the matter."
Ling Xian'er and Tang Xiaotang also agreed. After a brief rest at Qingyan Mountain, the four of them set out on their respective journeys home. Duan Litang looked at the backs of his companions leaving, silently praying that everything would go well for them. He knew that this was just a small episode in their adventure, and there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future. And the bond between them would become deeper through these challenges.
After returning to Lingxian Academy, Duan Litang was always thinking about what happened in Qingyan Mountain and the family affairs of his companions. He decided to use the library of the academy to look for clues about the blood covenant and the "blood-colored descendants of the gods" again. In the library, he flipped through countless ancient books, but still could not find any useful information. Just when he was disappointed, an ancient scroll caught his attention. The scroll depicted an ancient war. In the picture, a mysterious man in a blood-colored robe held a blood covenant and fought against a group of powerful enemies. The mysterious man's face was blurred, but the aura he exuded gave Duan Litang an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Duan Litang carefully observed the scroll and found a line of blurred words on the edge of the scroll: "The Blood God's descendants have come to the world, and the power of the blood covenant has rekindled hope." He was shocked. Could this be the clue about the "Blood God's descendants"? He continued to study the scroll, trying to find more information from it. However, there were no more text descriptions on the scroll. He could only rely on these few words to guess the relationship between the "Blood God's descendants" and the blood covenant. He looked at the scroll over and over again, not missing any details, and even tried to touch the scroll with spiritual power, hoping to trigger the hidden information, but all in vain. But he was not discouraged, but became more determined to solve this mystery.
Meanwhile, after Su Xueli returned to the fairyland, she immediately discussed with the elders of her family. The elders told her that the rumor about the "blood-colored descendants of the gods" suddenly appeared recently. It is said that people with the blood of the "blood-colored descendants of the gods" will have powerful powers, able to awaken the power of the blood covenant and save the world. But they don't know the specific situation. Su Xueli decided to start from the intelligence network of the fairyland and investigate the source of the rumor. She sent many fairy servants to inquire about the news everywhere, and she also went to the major ruins of the fairyland in person to look for clues that may be related to the blood covenant and the "blood-colored descendants of the gods".
In an ancient fairyland ruins, Su Xueli felt a strong force of restriction coming at her as soon as she stepped into it. She walked forward cautiously. The surrounding environment was gloomy and silent. Only her footsteps echoed in the empty passage. Suddenly, a huge guardian beast rushed out from the darkness. The guardian beast was shaped like a unicorn, with golden flames all over its body. Its eyes were like burning stars, full of majesty and murderous intent. Su Xueli was shocked, but she did not panic. She quickly drew out the Lingxian Sword, and a layer of soft golden light appeared on the sword. The guardian beast roared and rushed towards her. Su Xueli flashed and avoided the guardian beast's attack. At the same time, she swung the Lingxian Sword, and a golden sword energy slashed at the guardian beast. The guardian beast flexibly avoided the sword energy and attacked again. Its claws cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound. Su Xueli fought fiercely with the guardian beast. With her superb swordsmanship and powerful fairy power, she gradually gained the upper hand. In the end, she successfully defeated the guardian beast and continued to go deeper into the ruins. Deep in the ruins, she found an ancient stone tablet covered with runes. She studied the runes carefully, trying to find clues related to the "Blood Descendants of the Gods".
After Ling Xian'er returned to the Demon Realm, she went straight to the Ice Palace. She reported in detail to the Palace Master of the Ice Palace, who was also her father, what happened in Qingyan Mountain and the contents of the family secret letter. The Palace Master looked solemn. He told Ling Xian'er that the traitor of the Ice Palace was named Han Ye, an elder of the Ice Palace. Recently, Han Ye suddenly disappeared, and some important books of the Ice Palace disappeared with him. They suspected that Han Ye colluded with mysterious forces from the outside world and attempted to seize the power of the blood contract for their own personal gain. Ling Xian'er took the initiative to volunteer to investigate Han Ye's whereabouts. Relying on her connections and strength in the Demon Realm, she began to track down Han Ye's whereabouts.
During the investigation, Ling Xian'er discovered that Han Ye seemed to be related to a mysterious organization called "Shadow Pavilion", and this organization seemed to have a great interest in the blood covenant. She followed the clues and found a secret base of "Shadow Pavilion" in the Demon Realm. The base was hidden in a valley, surrounded by traps and restrictions. Ling Xian'er carefully avoided the traps, broke the restrictions, and sneaked into the base. Inside the base, a group of men in black were discussing something. Ling Xian'er quietly approached and heard them mention the blood covenant and Han Ye's name. Just as she was about to inquire about the news further, she was discovered by a man in black. The man in black sounded the alarm, and in an instant, the men in black in the entire base surrounded her. Ling Xian'er snorted coldly, waved the ice sword in her hand, and a stream of ice-blue sword energy instantly repelled the surrounding men in black. She started a fierce battle with the men in black. The ice sword was waved in her hand, and the cold air was overflowing. The men in black fell under her sword one after another. However, there were so many men in black that Ling Xian'er gradually felt a little tired. At this moment, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure - Han Ye. Han Ye stood in the distance, looking at her coldly, his eyes full of mockery. Ling Xian'er was furious and rushed towards Han Ye desperately, wanting to catch him and ask him questions.
After Tang Xiaotang returned to the Spirit Tribe, she immediately came to the Spirit Butterfly Valley where the Spirit Tribe's sacred tree was located. Around the sacred tree, the Spirit Tribe's elders were casting spells around the sacred tree, trying to stabilize the spiritual power fluctuations of the sacred tree. Tang Xiaotang walked up and asked the elders about the situation. The elders told her that the abnormality of the sacred tree suddenly appeared recently. They suspected that someone had secretly tampered with the sacred tree, and all this might be related to the blood covenant. Because the Spirit Tribe is one of the guardians of the blood covenant, the spiritual power fluctuations of the sacred tree have a subtle connection with the blood covenant. Tang Xiaotang decided to assist the elders and protect the sacred tree together. She used the special abilities of the Spirit Tribe to communicate with the sacred tree and tried to obtain some information from the sacred tree.
In the communication with the holy tree, she felt that the abnormality of the holy tree seemed to be related to a dark force from the outside world. Tang Xiaotang and the elders arranged a powerful protective array around the holy tree to try to resist the erosion of this dark force. However, the dark force was extremely strong, and cracks gradually appeared in the array. Tang Xiaotang was anxious, and she kept injecting spiritual power to try to repair the array. At the same time, she communicated with the holy tree again, hoping that the holy tree could give them some guidance. The branches and leaves of the holy tree swayed slightly, as if conveying some kind of information. Tang Xiaotang concentrated her mind and tried to interpret the information of the holy tree. Finally, she got a key clue-in an ancient ruin of the spirit race, there may be a way to fight against the dark force. After discussing with the elders, Tang Xiaotang decided to go to the ancient ruins to explore.
As the days passed, Duan Litang, Su Xueli, Ling Xian'er and Tang Xiaotang were busy in their respective families. Although they were in different places, they always cared about each other. They knew that only by solving the problems of their respective families could they better explore the secret of the blood covenant and save the world. In the process, they gradually discovered that the secret of the blood covenant was far more complicated than they imagined, and there seemed to be a huge conspiracy behind it. This conspiracy will involve the three realms of the fairyland, the demon realm, and the spirit realm, and the four of them will become the key to unraveling this conspiracy. Can they successfully solve the family's problems, uncover the secret of the blood covenant, and prevent the impending crisis? Everything is still unknown. But they are not afraid, because they have firm beliefs and support each other. They believe that as long as they work together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and protect everything they cherish.
On a full-moon night, Duan Litang stood alone on the roof of Lingxian Academy, looking at the bright moon in the sky, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He remembered every bit of his experience with Su Xueli, Ling Xianer and Tang Xiaotang, their mutual support in the Lingxian Trial Tower, and their life and death together in Qingyan Mountain. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they would go hand in hand. At this moment, he felt the blood-colored pendant on his chest slightly warm, as if foreshadowing something. He looked down at the pendant, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
