94: The reconstruction of the Blood Spirit Realm failed and was investigated.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that his cultivation was about to be unsealed, Jiang Yan silently counted down the seconds in his mind.

The instant his cultivation was unsealed, a domineering and savage force of qi-blood suddenly erupted from within his body.

Feeling such a powerful aura, he instinctively began to inspect his Dantian internally.

This look was no small matter; an expression of shock was written directly on his face.

'Holy crap! What's going on?'

Inside Jiang Yan's Dantian at this moment, a blood-red crystal floated, entwined with golden runes, looking extremely bewitching.

After checking the character attribute interface and finding no abnormalities, he immediately fell into deep thought.

His body showed no abnormalities, and his Qi was flowing normally... 'What on earth is this?'

'Forget it, as long as it doesn't affect my body, I'll ask Revered Master once I return to the Qingyun Sect.'

Jiang Yan felt that since he couldn't figure it out, he should ask someone who would; after all, there were too many strange occurrences in the world of cultivation.

Just as he was stretching his body, Lü Yue arrived at the small courtyard where he lived.

Jiang Yan was no longer a Blood Son, yet he wasn't quite a Vice Peak Master either, so his living quarters were not particularly fancy.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Yan asked.

"I'm here to see if you're getting used to living here," Lü Yue said, bringing out a rocking chair. "This is a personal gift for you; I heard you really like this kind of chair."

Seeing the rocking chair Lü Yue brought out, Jiang Yan smiled. He walked over, took the chair, placed it by the window, and lay down on it.

Watching Su Chen's delighted look, Lü Yue spoke up to remind him, "In a few days, our Blood Son will be going to Blood Fiend Peak."

"Mm, I know," Jiang Yan waved his hand dismissively.

"What do you plan to do?" Lü Yue asked.

"Once I complete the Vice Peak Master Candidate mission, I'll help her figure something out," Jiang Yan replied.

"Fine, in that case, I'll wait for your answer," Lü Yue said, turning to leave the courtyard.

After Lü Yue left, Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes, and at this moment, his gaze was dark and terrifying.

To be honest, he didn't want to wade into these muddy waters, but he owed Su Qingyan a debt of gratitude, so he had to try no matter what.

If he failed, he could only say he did his best. If he succeeded, then his identity as 'Su Chen' would be hunted by the entire Blood Cloud Sect.

Although this was just a fake identity, the Su family of Great Li would suffer a disaster because of it.

'Sigh, this is really difficult.'

'It would be great if someone could help.'

Inside the Sect Master Hall, the Old Man in Red Robe sat in the seat of honor.

"We pay our respects to the Sect Master." Wang Bozhao and the others all knelt on one knee.

"Rise. Today we shall reconstruct the Blood Spirit Secret Realm. In a moment, Zhu Xiaoyun will be responsible for locating the collapsed Secret Realm core, while the rest of you follow me to expand the Secret Realm space," the Old Man in Red Robe commanded.

"Yes," the four Peak Masters acknowledged the order.

As the Old Man in Red Robe raised his hands, a rift in space was slowly torn open within the Sect Master Hall. Immediately after, countless streaks of crimson qi-blood filled the entire hall.

Feeling the savage force of the qi-blood, Chen Tianhe immediately deployed a protective barrier, enveloping Zhu Xiaoyun, Feng Xiaoyu, and Wang Bozhao within it.

"Enter!"

As the Old Man in Red Robe's voice fell, the four of them quickly followed him into the dark and bloody space.

Boom...

The crimson qi-blood surged like a tide, and the entire Sect Master Hall seemed to have been dragged into another world.

Chen Tianhe's protective barrier made overburdened 'crackling' sounds as fine cracks spread across the light shield.

"Keep close!"

With a wave of his sleeve, the Old Man in Red Robe forcibly tore a rift through the distorted space ahead.

Within the blood mist so thick it wouldn't dissipate, one could vaguely see scenes like shattered mirrors and overturned mountains and rivers—the wreckage of the collapsed Blood Spirit Secret Realm.

The compass in Zhu Xiaoyun's hand spun frantically, but the needle could not find the location of the Secret Realm core.

"Zhu Xiaoyun, what's wrong?" Chen Tianhe asked anxiously.

Zhu Xiaoyun was very anxious at this moment because she didn't know what was going on either.

After waiting for a long while, Zhu Xiaoyun spoke helplessly, "I don't know why, but the compass is consistently unable to find the Secret Realm core."

Hearing that the core couldn't be found, Wang Bozhao also quickly took out a compass to search.

This wasn't their first time reconstructing a Secret Realm; they could be said to know this Blood Spirit Secret Realm like the back of their hands.

"There is no Secret Realm core here!" Wang Bozhao spoke in horror.

Hearing this, the Old Man in Red Robe's face darkened. He knew very well that without the Secret Realm core, there would be no reason for the Blood Cloud Sect to exist!

"Watch out! Space fragments!" Feng Xiaoyu quickly pushed Zhu Xiaoyun aside, while Chen Tianhe performed a hand seal to reinforce the barrier.

Bang!

A violent impact caused a gap to instantly appear in the barrier.

"Go, retreat!" the Old Man in Red Robe said in a heavy voice. He grabbed forward with both hands, and a rift was instantly torn open in the dark space.

Chen Tianhe and the other three were only in the Core Formation Realm; without a Secret Realm core, they couldn't last long in this kind of space.

When the four of them returned to the Sect Master Hall, the Old Man in Red Robe hurriedly closed the spatial rift.

Once the rift was closed, the Old Man in Red Robe waved his sleeve, and the savage qi-blood force that had leaked into the hall instantly dissipated.

"What exactly is going on?" the Old Man in Red Robe questioned.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, we are also unaware," Zhu Xiaoyun hurriedly knelt on one knee and said.

"Sect Master, could it be that the power of Ye Qingfeng and Lu Xing's tribulation was too great and shattered the core?" Chen Tianhe speculated.

"Absolutely impossible!" the Old Man in Red Robe immediately denied with a firm tone. "The Secret Realm core is a qi-blood construct; no matter how strong the Heavenly Punishment is, it would only destroy the Secret Realm itself."

Hearing the Sect Master's words, Wang Bozhao and the other three fell silent. They truly didn't know how to explain this situation.

"Go, bring the four surviving Blood Sons here. I will question them personally," the Old Man in Red Robe said deeply.

"Yes, your subordinate will go at once." Wang Bozhao did not dare to delay and turned to fly out of the Sect Master Hall.

When Jiang Yan received the summons, he became nervous. Although he didn't know why he was being summoned, he felt that something wasn't quite right.

As Jiang Yan and the other three arrived at the Sect Master Hall, they knelt below the steps.

"Was there any movement on the compass?" Chen Tianhe asked via voice transmission.

"No," Zhu Xiaoyun shook her head, her expression somewhat disappointed. "The compass needle is quite normal."

"Then could it have been put into a Storage Pouch by them?" Feng Xiaoyu asked.

"That is a Secret Realm space core; even if you have a Storage Ring, you cannot put one space inside another," Wang Bozhao said.

The Old Man in Red Robe didn't speak; he just quietly closed his eyes to sense something.

But to his surprise, the breathing of the four was quite steady, and there were no signs of panic.

How could this be?

The Old Man in Red Robe withdrew his Divine Soul and pointed at Zhou Ling, saying, "You, come with me!"

Zhou Ling kowtowed, stood up, and followed the Old Man in Red Robe into a room.

After a long while, Zhou Ling walked out unsteadily; his head felt particularly painful at this moment.

"You, come in with me!" the Old Man in Red Robe pointed at Jiang Yan and said.

When Jiang Yan passed by Zhou Ling, he could clearly feel the residual imprints of a Divine Soul around Zhou Ling.

'Crap, this old guy isn't thinking of Possession, is he?'

He knew very well that once one's cultivation reached the Nascent Soul Realm, they could possess someone to live another life.

The Old Man in Red Robe seemed to see through Jiang Yan's thoughts and immediately said, "Don't be nervous, I won't possess you!"

Jiang Yan gave a respectful bow: "Sect Master, what do you want me to do?"

"You don't need to do anything, just let your thoughts go and don't resist," the Old Man in Red Robe said.

Hearing the Sect Master say this, Jiang Yan became even more nervous. Did he want to read his memories?

But before he could even think about how to defend himself, it felt as if something had been stuffed into his brain.

"Soul Calming Incantation?"

The Old Man in Red Robe was surprised, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, he wasn't performing a Possession, so this thing couldn't harm him.

But just as he prepared to cast the 'Soul Inspection Technique', a massive repulsive force instantly squeezed his Divine Soul out.

The Old Man in Red Robe was dazed; it was his first time encountering such a powerful Divine Soul will.

Jiang Yan blinked, looking at the Sect Master in front of him with a face full of confusion.

'Is that it?'

The Old Man in Red Robe was somewhat embarrassed at this moment. He certainly couldn't say that his Soul Inspection Technique had failed; after all, he was a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse.

However, at the same time, he became curious about the Su Chen before him.

A powerful Physical Body and a strong Divine Soul—such a person was definitely the kind of seedling their Blood Fiend Sect liked most.

Moreover, he had learned some secrets from Zhou Ling's Divine Soul that they hadn't mentioned—that the Su Chen before him was very strong, perhaps even comparable to a Saint!
