Chapter 657 Sudden
As soon as Wen Guying finished speaking, Jiang Mei landed in front of them and said, "The ground has returned to normal."

"How many people did it swallow?" Wen Guying asked.

"There were about 300 cultivators, both independent and evil, and a few who looked like they were from sects. Although these cultivators didn't listen to advice and believed that wealth and honor come from risk, some of them had good intuition and took a break, so more than 100, but less than 200, took the initiative to enter. Before the rift closed, a few of them suddenly opened and closed again, swallowing a dozen independent cultivators and 37 half-demons. In addition to these 37 half-demons, some others were injured, but they all survived." Jiang Mei described the situation on the Cangwu wilderness in an orderly manner. He said, "Fortunately, it only lasted for three days. It would be hard to say if more people heard the news and came later."

"What about those independent cultivators?" Wen Guying asked.

"Some are gone, some are still here, and we can't take care of them." Jiang Mei paused, her tone serious, and said, "Fellow Daoist Yao is in trouble. She has been investigating the secrets of the demon ruins, and has traced them to Xu Ming Mountain, where there is an almost complete palace built by the demons. What may have happened to her there is still unknown. What we know now is that she escaped at the risk of her life, and Sect Master Chu received a message for help from fellow Daoist Yao on the way, so he rushed over. Elder Cang Ming of Xuan Yue Sect is rushing over with sixteen disciples."

"Are we there yet?" Li Chuan asked.

"It's almost there." Jiang Mei said.

"The demon spirit is in Xuming Mountain." Wen Guying said, "This means that she and Chi Lin have met before. Maybe we are wrong. The danger is not in Luoxia Secret Realm, but in the demon ruins."

"Which Chi Lin?" Li Chuan asked.

"Blood Pond." Wen Guying said, "Chi Lin from Youxi Valley should be joining her."

"Let's go over there quickly, before he runs away." Li Chuan said.

Wen Guying asked the spiritual master: "Are there any changes in Youxi Valley?"

The spiritualist closed her eyes, and after a while, she opened them and said, "Nothing has changed."

"He has left." Wen Guying said.

"What do you all know?" Jiang Mei asked.

Then, Wen Guying told Jiang Mei in detail everything they encountered underground and in the blood pool, and also told her some of his guesses. After Wen Guying finished speaking, Luo Xueli took over and told her in detail what happened in Songdu.

After listening to this, Jiang Mei thought for a while and made the same judgment as Wen Guying, saying, "He should have left."

"So what should we do now?" Li Chuan asked.

"Let's go to Youxi Valley." Wen Guying said.

"Let's go," said Li Chuan.

"Don't worry, let's take the Qingye Boat over there, take a short rest, and discuss what happened in Songdu, the Blood Pond, and Youxi Valley." Wen Guying said.

Wen Guying took out the green leaf boat and everyone boarded. The boat sailed slowly in the sea of ​​clouds.

Li Chuan looked at the sea of ​​clouds for a while and said, "Before Chi Lin fell asleep, he gave the key to the demon spirit. In his prediction, the demon spirit would come out again after a certain opportunity. But now, that opportunity has not appeared, so the demon spirit cannot wake up Chi Lin even if he has the key."

"So, the demon spirit came to me. She thought I could wake Chi Lin up. So the key fell into my hands and merged with the butterfly spirit. And through the butterfly spirit, I can control the blood pool." Li Chuan frowned and said, "In the dream of the Ruiling beast, when Chi Lin was fighting with me for control of the blood pool, he also hid something. That is to say, I came here with the key, and finally woke up the sleeping Chi Lin as the demon spirit and Chi Lin wanted?"

He recalled everything that happened during the fight with Chi Lin, and said, "No, when I integrated the key into the butterfly spirit, I also roughly knew some information about the door. I am sure that I did not see the door when I was in the blood pool."

"Chi Lin cannot control the blood pool." Wen Guying thought from another angle, "When he first came, he might have discovered this. So after the great catastrophe of gods and demons ended, he could only use the power of the sacred tree and the blood pool to fall asleep. His other clone, after failing, could only semi-parasitize in the blood pool." Wen Guying analyzed and said, "In other words, the original ancestor of the half-demon, the root consciousness, did not agree with what Chi Lin did."

"But the sacred tree is closely connected to the blood pool. Any changes in the blood pool will definitely affect the sacred tree and the sleeping Chi Lin's clone. So when Chi Lin realized that he couldn't trick you into opening the door with the key, he chose to find another way..."

"Wait a minute," Li Chuan thought of something and said, "One hundred and sixty-six blood shadows, one is him, and one is still him. I was deceived by him again, and he escaped."

"You mean, the 168th blood shadow in his plan does not include you, but the sleeping him?" Wen Guying asked.

"That's right." Li Chuan said, "So, the White Walker escaped." He secretly hated, "We should have gone to Youxi Valley immediately, maybe we could have stopped him in time."

"Brother Li, don't be anxious," Wen Guying comforted him, "Chi Lin didn't plan everything out, he just had the habit of keeping some tricks up his sleeve. If the half-demon woman hadn't died, he might have chosen to continue lying dormant."

"Is he really dead?" Li Chuan asked. He was actually not sure.

Jiang Mei nodded and said, "Yes, Gong Wuguang came in person."

"Oh," Li Chuan nodded and said, "Master Wen, please continue."

Wen Guying said: "After the great catastrophe of gods and demons ended, Chi Lin's strategy was to wait for the opportunity to appear. The task he gave to the demon spirit was also mainly to wait. Using the abyss silk to send the aliens into the world was a secondary task. So you see, neither the demon spirit nor his clone could wake him up. Whether the opportunity appears is the most important. Only when the opportunity appears, he will have a chance. If the opportunity does not appear, no matter how much the clone and the demon spirit do, no matter how well they do, it will be useless."

"After the evil spirit left the Heart Abyss, it has been trying to wake him up. His clone may have lost the memory of this during the many reincarnations, so he also began to be obsessed with doing something. Therefore, the awakening of Chi Lin who is sleeping in Youxi Valley at this time... may be a good thing for us." Wen Guying said.

"Is that so? If I had known this, I would have opened the door directly." Li Chuan said.

"That's not necessary. Okay, we're here." Wen Guying said.

After getting off the Qingye Boat, they followed the road in their dream, along the river, and walked towards the Youxi Valley. Along the way, they encountered nothing. When they approached the Sun and Moon Spring, some tiny dark red liquids appeared in the river. They gathered in the center of the Sun and Moon Spring, bubbling. In the spring, there were also some light red leaves floating - the leaves of the sacred tree.
