216: Chapter 216 Demon Suppression City

"Su Mo!!"

Su Mo stood with his hands behind his back on the head of the Phoenix, his green robes fluttering and black hair flying, as he offered a faint smile to Luo Qingxue.

"Su Mo... is it really you?"

Luo Qingxue's voice trembled with disbelief.

The man before her, who had annihilated the Blood Beasts with a mere gesture, was identical to the youth she had longed for day and night, deeply engraved in her mind.

Su Mo leaped down from the Phoenix's head, landing lightly in front of Luo Qingxue, and smiled slightly:

"Long time no see, Bibo Sword Immortal~"

His slightly teasing tone instantly made Luo Qingxue feel extremely shy and annoyed, and she raised the long sword in her hand.

"You... you still dare to mock me!"

She made a gesture to strike, but the raised sword never fell, instead dropping to the ground with a "clang".

The next second, amidst the astonished gazes of the surrounding Cultivators, this Bibo Sword Immortal, known for her cold and aloof demeanor, actually threw herself directly into Su Mo's arms.

"Bastard... why didn't you come back to find me... do you know how worried I was about you..."

Her voice was choked with sobs, her fists constantly pounding on Su Mo's chest; there was no trace of the Sword Immortal's demeanor left.

Su Mo let her vent her emotions, gently patting her back:

"Alright, alright, am I not fine?"

The surrounding Cultivators looked at each other, all very tactfully turning their heads away.

Who could have imagined that the Bibo Sword Immortal, who had just fought her way in and out of the Blood Beast horde, would have such a girlish side.

However, they also became a bit curious about the Male Cultivator who could make the Bibo Sword Immortal fall for him.

After a long while, Luo Qingxue blushed and broke free from Su Mo's embrace, wiping the corners of her eyes:

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure..."

"It's fine, anyway, only I saw it. As long as I don't say anything, no one will know, and you are still your Bibo Sword Immortal."

Su Mo's words didn't help; once said, they immediately made Luo Qingxue's earlobes turn red.

She punched Su Mo hard, then took a deep breath to regain her composure.

"What is this..."

Su Mo's gaze swept across all the Cultivators present.

There were thousands of Cultivators in various attires, and one could tell at a glance they were Loose Cultivators. Moreover, not all of them were Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators; most were at the Nascent Soul Stage, which was why they had struggled so much to deal with the Blood Beasts just now and could only barely hold on.

"These are all Loose Cultivators gathered from various places."

Luo Qingxue explained:

"The major Sects are either protecting themselves or sending Cultivators to support Demon Suppressing City. We were on our way to Demon Suppressing City when we encountered this batch of Blood Beasts..."

Su Mo didn't need to be told what happened next.

However, the fact that so many Blood Beasts could break through the defense line was enough to show how serious the situation was.

"Fortunately you came, otherwise we might have..."

Looking at Su Mo, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Seeing her rare, charmingly naive appearance, Su Mo couldn't help but smile:

"It seems I came just at the right time."

His gaze swept across the devastated, blood-stained battlefield and the heavily injured Loose Cultivators, and a thought crossed his mind.

Tens of thousands of insect swarms appeared behind him, rushing towards the injured Cultivators, draining their own vitality and transferring it into their bodies.

This sudden scene stunned everyone.

"This... this is..."

Luo Qingxue's beautiful eyes widened.

"Just a small trick."

Su Mo said indifferently:

"I am preparing to go to Demon Suppressing City now, will you come with me?"

Luo Qingxue looked at the black ants that were constantly transferring vitality into her body, then turned to look at Su Mo:

"Of course I'm going."

"Then let's go, the situation at Demon Suppressing City is probably not very optimistic."

The two of them leaped onto the Two-Headed Phoenix, and amidst the awe-struck gazes of thousands of Cultivators, the Two-Headed Phoenix let out a heaven-shaking cry and sped towards the direction of Demon Suppressing City.

Not long after, Su Mo saw the boundless blood-colored soil, and his eyes instantly narrowed.

Something was wrong!

For someone who had been to the Immortal Burial Battlefield once, having only covered half the distance, he shouldn't be able to see the iconic blood-colored soil of the Immortal Burial Battlefield yet.

If he could see it now, it meant that the Immortal Burial Battlefield had already covered nearly one-third of the Central Region's territory.

This rate of expansion was completely beyond his imagination; at this rate, it wouldn't be long before the entire Central Region was swallowed.

The further they went, the stronger the smell of blood in the air became, and occasionally they could see some scattered Blood Beasts wandering around.

Su Mo could already feel the intense spiritual power fluctuations coming from ahead; that was definitely not something one person could cause.

Soon, a shocking scene came into view.

On the blood-colored land ahead, a blood-colored wave spanning thousands of miles was advancing forward.

Within the wave were millions of Blood Beasts, roaring and galloping, and wherever they passed, everything was annihilated.

And in front of the blood-colored wave, countless Cultivators had formed a defense line.

The light of various Magic Treasures flickered, but they couldn't even make a splash among the Blood Beasts.

Behind the Cultivators was a city, and whenever a Cultivator was injured, they would return to the city to recuperate.

The moment the Mahayana Stage Two-Headed Phoenix appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.

Before Su Mo could land, a figure appeared before his eyes without warning.

"I am Heavenly Valley, Old Ancestor of the Tian Family. May I ask for Fellow Daoist's name?"

This old man, who called himself Heavenly Valley, had white hair and beard, wore a simple gray robe, and looked unremarkable, but Su Mo could feel that this was a Mahayana Stage Cultivator, only with an aura of decay about him, likely because his Lifespan was nearing its end.

Su Mo cupped his hands and said:

"Junior Su Mo, and Heaven Battle..."

Before he could finish, Heavenly Valley revealed a kind smile:

"So it's you. Tian Qiong has mentioned you to me. Now it seems you are truly a promising youth."

A trace of surprise flashed in Heavenly Valley's eyes. He had assumed that someone who could command a Mahayana Stage Phoenix must be a Cultivator of the same level, but he hadn't expected it to be a Soul Transformation Stage junior.

And this junior was one of his own, which made him even more overjoyed.

"Little Friend Su, you have come just at the right time. The Blood Prison Sacred Land has used some unknown secret technique to make the birth speed of the Blood Beasts extremely fast, almost endless."

"We old guys can't just make a move casually. If this continues..."

Hearing this, Su Mo's mind turned and he understood.

The opponent's Mahayana Stage Cultivator hadn't made a move yet. If they made a move, the opponent's Mahayana Stage Cultivator would definitely make a move, and then the defense line might collapse even faster.

It was better to maintain a stalemate for now.

"Does Senior know where the problem lies?"

Heavenly Valley shook his head and sighed:

"We have sent people to investigate deep inside several times, but they never returned. We only know there is an altar deep inside, where a Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivator from the Blood Prison Sacred Land is stationed."

"So that's it."

Su Mo continued to ask:

"What about Chi Yu?"

He had arrived here but hadn't felt Chi Yu's aura at all; logically, he should have been here.

Heavenly Valley was stunned upon hearing this, his expression becoming strange:

"You are talking about the Nether Abyss Dragon Emperor, right? He is the one who went deep inside to investigate, but I don't know why he hasn't returned. I'm afraid..."

Su Mo raised an eyebrow:

"That shouldn't be."

The connection formed by the Heavenly Dao Oath still existed; Chi Yu must be fine.

"Did he betray me?"
