In the chat group, with the disappearance of the Blood Demon Dao Saintess Xin Sulu, all the masters of Immortal Artifacts went online.

Wei Suyi, Dou Sujiu, Gui Suki, Jing Muan…

Excluding the invisible Li Muyang, only four masters of Immortal Artifacts remained in the chat group at this point.

The sudden death of Xin Sulu had rendered these masters tense and grave.

Li Muyang, with keen interest, watched the chat group, eager to see what they would discuss next.

Could it be that a disaster would strike if the number of Immortal Artifact masters decreased?

However, Wei Suyi abruptly spoke up, halting everyone’s discussion.

[Wei Suyi: Given the circumstances, I propose that we all meet up once more]

[Wei Suyi: There are some matters that can only be discussed face-to-face]

Wei Suyi’s proposal quickly gained approval from the other group members.

[Dou Sujiu: Seconded]

[Gui Suki: Seconded]

[Jing Muan: I have no objections]

[Wei Suyi: Good! In that case, let’s meet at the old place on August 15]

After saying this, Wei Suyi went offline immediately, and his avatar went dark.

The other members also logged off one after another, without uttering another word.

These masters of Immortal Artifacts had obviously met in person before.

It seemed they were well acquainted with the procedure.

Only Li Muyang, utterly confused, was left speechless.

“…August 15, the old place?”

Where exactly is this old place?

This old fox Wei Suyi is still so cautious.

Even though, in the eyes of others, Li Muyang was most likely already dead, Wei Suyi still refused to let down his guard.

But if these masters of Immortal Artifacts had met in person before, why didn’t Jing Muan, Qing Hui, and Gui Suki, Xie Liuyun recognize each other?

Huh… Quite peculiar indeed.

Li Muyang waited a little longer, making sure that all the members had logged off and wouldn’t speak again, before he too exited the chat group.

Although he was very curious about the secrets of these masters, at that moment Li Muyang just wanted to meet Yan Xiaoru as soon as possible.

Then, together with Yan Xiaoru, go to the Ark Beyond the World to search for Li Damu and his wife.

In the night sky, Li Muyang ascended and continued flying towards Yunxiao City.

But he had only been flying for an hour when he saw a group of cultivators, panic-stricken, flying over and desperately escaping.

“Run! The Ancestor of Demon Refinement is nearby!”

“If he sets his sights on you, you’re doomed without a burial place!”

One cultivator after another frantically fled through the night sky, their escaping lights scattering in all directions.

Following these cultivators, on the ground below, were groups of mortals holding lanterns, also frantically fleeing.

Approaching them, Li Muyang discovered these were groups of mortals holding lanterns, herding cattle and sheep, and fleeing in panic.

Seeing Li Muyang descend, some of the mortals kindly warned him.

“…This minor Immortal, please turn back, you can’t go this way.”

“Yes, Immortal! There are terrifying mad demons wandering ahead; every living creature seen by the mad demon will be devoured!”

“Even those Immortals dare not provoke it! Little Immortal, you better run too.”

While fleeing, the mortals continued to advise Li Muyang.

Probably because Li Muyang’s youthful appearance was deceiving, looking non-threatening, these mortals dared to gather the courage to warn him.

Li Muyang, who was levitating in the air, heard the reminders from the mortals and looked up at the night sky ahead.

In that direction, from a distance, he could faintly see a fierce red light that dyed half the sky red.

Combining the observations along the way, Li Muyang understood the dangers ahead.

The Ancestor of Demon Refinement, this old creature who had fallen into a state of frenzy and insanity, had gone completely mad after the destruction of the Refinement Demon Sect, running through the wilderness in tattered clothes.

However, behind the Ancestor of Demon Refinement, there was a gigantic blood pupil.

Anyone who was seen by the Ancestor of Demon Refinement would be devoured by the blood pupil.

This terrifying legend had been talked about by many people along the way, yet Li Muyang did not expect to encounter it here.

He sprung into the air, distancing himself from the group of mortals below.

Li Muyang did not immediately flee; instead, he stood in the dark sky, gazing at the direction where the red light lit up the night sky.

A complex emotion flashed through his eyes.

“… daring to provoke the corpse of the Thousand-Eyed Blood God.”

This Ancestor of Demon Refinement truly was tired of living.

The most brutal ancient deity, notorious far and wide.

Had he known that the divine corpse beneath the Refinement Demon Sect was this one, Li Muyang would never have been tempted and would have left long ago with Yan Xiaoru.

Had he left earlier, none of what followed would have happened, and the current Li Muyang could have continued to be an inconspicuous cultivator in the cultivation world… alas…

“Fate plays tricks on people.”

Li Muyang murmured softly, seeing that the red light had already spread this way, he dared not linger any longer, fearing that he would catch the eye of the Thousand-Eyed Blood God.

Though he had the protection of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword and the corpse of the Ink Immortal, everyone in the world was after him; at this moment, Li Muyang could not afford to reveal his tracks.

He also did not want to engage in an unnecessary struggle with the Thousand-Eyed Blood God here.

It was unknown whether the insanity of the Ancestor of Demon Refinement was related to the Thousand-Eyed Blood God.

Although the corpse of the Thousand-Eyed Blood God was thoroughly dead, for some reason, Li Muyang always felt that the blood pupil was extremely malicious, giving him a very uncomfortable feeling.

He had also heard that there were legends of divine bloodlines transmitted in the world, only not walking among humans.

“This world is becoming more chaotic.”

Li Muyang shook his head and quickly moved away from the area where the red light was, heading toward Yunxiao City in great haste.

Meanwhile,

as the land where Li Muyang was located darkened and the moon climbed high in the sky, far away on the seashore of the Misty Sea, tens of thousands of miles away, the scene was still covered with crimson twilight, and the sun was about to set.

The blood-red twilight bathed the entire sky in red.

Fiery clouds, one after another, floated in the firmament.

And flying above these fiery clouds, ascending continuously to an altitude where cold, deadly silence prevailed—even the fierce winds high above had completely vanished, and one could clearly see the rounded contour of the distant horizon—there was an ice-cold, solemn majestic temple quietly floating.

The cosmic starry sky extended above the temple all the way to the ends of the starry sea.

Compared to that dazzling starry sky, the earth below the temple seemed as insignificant as dust.

This altitude had already exceeded the reach of human cultivators.

An invisible barrier of heaven and earth sealed the planet, preventing any cultivator who ascended to a sufficient height from going further.

In the ten thousand years since the dark era, this altitude in deep space had lost all visitors.

The temple floating in the icy darkness also seemed abandoned, and from afar, there were no signs of activity.

But at a certain moment, within the silent grand temple, a grating bell toll suddenly rang out.

The deep and massive sound of the bell echoed in the uninhabited deep space, as if awakening something.

On the tall steps at the entrance of the temple, a colossal stone statue hundreds of feet tall slowly stirred to life.

It turned its body and knelt respectfully toward the temple behind it.

In the void, an indifferent and distant voice sounded, as if looking down from a great height.

“… the Thousand-Eyed Blood God has appeared in the world.”

“You go down there and take a walk.”
