At the same time that Su Wanyan cried out in surprise, Gu Liuyun was not nervous at all. Just as the blood shadow was about to pounce on him, the Red Heart Sword that was floating beside him suddenly shone brightly and slashed fiercely at the blood shadow.
"Tsk!"
Like a hot knife cutting into butter, the Red Heart Sword cut the blood shadow into two without any resistance. The blood shadow turned into a pool of dirty blood and fell to the ground.
This sudden scene made the three women who witnessed the whole process very surprised. Su Wanyan and Su Xiao Yue quickly walked to Gu Liuyun's side to check if he was injured.
Gu Liuyun shook his head gently and said,""It's fine. It's just an ordinary monster.”
After saying that, he looked around and reminded the three women,"This blood shadow is very fast. Be careful when you move forward later. Pay attention to the dark corners behind you and don't be ambushed.”
Su Xiao Yue and Bloody Rose became much more vigilant when they heard this. Su Wanyan thought for a moment and directly formed a seal with one hand, waving it at everyone.
"Buddhist Dharma, Lotus Protection Seal!"
With a soft shout, a circle of faint golden lotus phantom appeared around everyone and slowly rotated.
"Eh, what's this?" Su Xiao Yue looked at this scene in surprise and asked Su Wanyan.
"This spirit skill can slow down the speed of an approaching enemy, and it also has a damage reduction effect.”Su Wanyan replied.
Gu Liuyun noticed this scene and became even more curious about Su Wanyan's talent. The " Lotus Protection Seal " was not a spiritual skill that the disciples of the Buddhist Sect could learn. It seemed that she had triggered a special opportunity.
At this moment, Bloodrose suddenly waved her long robe and dispelled the lotus phantom around her.
This action caused Su Wanyan to be slightly stunned. She asked in confusion,""Rose, what are you doing?"
Gu Liuyun smiled and said to Su Wanyan,""Any cultivation method of Buddhist cultivators will conflict with ghost cultivators. You can't use this spirit skill on her.”
" Yes." Bloody Rose nodded and said," The Buddhist Sect's techniques are a blessing to you, but to my profession, it's a negative blessing."”
Hearing the two people's explanation, Su Wanyan had yet to speak when Su Xiao Yue put on an expression of sudden realization: ""No wonder those ghost cultivator players didn't want Buddhist cultivators at the entrance of White Emperor City. So this is what happened.”
Gu Liuyun smiled." Maybe this is the balance system of the Nine Realms. The Ghost is very strong in the early stages of the profession. It's interesting to let the weaker Buddhist cultivators restrain them in the early stages."”
The other three women felt that this explanation was very reasonable and nodded.
Su Xiao Yue looked around and asked Gu Liuyun,""How are we going to walk next? We can't see the surrounding dark roads clearly.”
Gu Liuyun thought for a moment and felt that he had been delayed here for long enough. If he continued to dawdle, he might not be able to complete the first clear of the arcane realm by nightfall. He had to speed up.
So he thought of an excuse and said to the three women,"Next, I'll follow the path given by the cultivator guarding the array. If the blood shadow appears, I'll take care of it. All you have to do is follow me closely and be careful not to be ambushed by the blood shadow.”
Hearing his words, the three women naturally had no problem.
Then, Gu Liuyun used the Red Heart Sword to open up a path and began to move forward quickly. As he ran, he explained to the three women behind him.
"The path ahead of this cave has to be close to the right side. Turn at any corner without hesitation.”
"After the third turn, choose the middle one.”
"Alright, stop here for a moment. There's a stalk of Blood Bat Grass on the protruding rock on the right. Xiaoyue, go and pluck it.”
"Yes, there's a vine here. We'll follow it up and then move to the left.”
Just like that, the three women followed Gu Liuyun and advanced at a high speed. Although there were a few blood shadows that appeared, they were all killed by Gu Liuyun's sword the moment they showed their heads. They were not affected at all.
By the time Gu Liuyun stopped in front of a cliff, they had already been running for nearly an hour. During this time, they had killed more than 20 blood shadows and more than 30 bat monsters, and collected more than 10 stalks of blood bat grass.
"Eh, there's no way out? Has this mystic realm ended?"
Su Xiao Yue tilted her head. She felt that she did not encounter any difficulties along the way.
Gu Liuyun flicked her forehead helplessly and said,""This is just the beginning. It's just a maze ahead.”
Gu Liuyun then turned to Bloody Rose and Su Wanyan and asked,""Do you remember the route we took just now?”
Bloody Rose and Su Wanyan nodded.
Gu Liuyun nodded in satisfaction and said,""Very good. In the future, if you want to bring in new people, follow this route. It can save a lot of time.”
After saying that, he walked to the edge of the cliff and flew the Red Heart Sword down the steep cliff on the opposite side.
"Look over there."
The three women stepped forward and looked in the direction of the Crimson Heart Sword.
At the bottom of the steep cliff, about fifty meters above the smooth cliff, there was a huge bat embossed. The relief sculpture was lifelike, and its blood-red wings were filled with strange patterns. There seemed to be blood dripping from its sharp teeth.
What was even more surprising was that there was a blood-red stone door embedded in the bloody mouth of the bat embossed. There were three ancient characters on the stone door: Blood Bat Palace!
