Chapter 135: Chapter 136: The Blood Infant's Revenge
"Danger! Run quickly!"
In the courtyard, just as Ziluo was about to step into the hall, she suddenly saw several blood-red tentacles emerge from the blood pool in the hall. She couldn't help but shout anxiously into the hall.
"Danger? What danger?"
Hearing Ziluo's anxious cry, the female soul masters in the hall were still confused.
But suddenly, the blood-red tentacles from the blood pool shot out violently, instantly wrapping around the necks of three female soul masters in the hall and dragging them toward the blood pool.
"Ah!"
Amidst a series of screams, the two female soul masters closest to the blood pool were immediately pulled into the blood pool by the tentacles and sank into it.
The last female soul master, being farther from the blood pool and having a beast martial soul, immediately activated her martial soul possession state when she felt something wrap around her neck. She dug her sharp claws into the floor, momentarily resisting the pull of the blood-red tentacles.
Even so, the immense strength of the tentacles meant she wouldn't last long.
"Ziluo, help me!"
Struggling to hold on, the female soul master anxiously called out to Ziluo in the courtyard.
"Aqiu, hold on! I'm coming to save you!"
Hearing her cry, Ziluo immediately ran over. Standing at the door, she summoned her Purple Lightning Vine martial soul, controlling it to wrap around the female soul master's waist and desperately pulling to drag her out.
However, the strength of the blood-red tentacles in the blood pool was overwhelming. Despite Ziluo's efforts, she couldn't overpower their pull.
In the end, Ziluo herself was nearly dragged into the hall.
At that moment, the Purple Lightning Vine Ziluo had summoned finally gave way and began to break apart.
"No!!"
As the vine snapped, the female soul master named Aqiu let out a scream before being instantly dragged into the blood pool.
"Aqiu!"
With the vine broken, Ziluo fell to the ground. Watching her last friend get pulled into the blood pool, she screamed in despair, trying to crawl forward to grab Aqiu's hand, but her body refused to cooperate.
"Damn it! What is this thing?!"
Looking at the blood pool before her, Ziluo's face was filled with anger.
Despite her fury, she knew the blood pool was so sinister that it was beyond her ability to handle.
"I must inform the teacher. Aqiu and the others were just pulled into the blood pool. If the teacher comes, there might still be a chance to save them."
Taking a deep breath, Ziluo muttered to herself and quickly stood up, ready to inform the teacher near the blockade.
Suddenly, an eerie laugh echoed from the blood pool. "Little girl, where do you think you're going?"
Hearing the voice behind her, Ziluo turned her head in alarm.
From the blood pool, a sinister blood-red face slowly emerged, grinning wickedly at Ziluo.
If Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo were here, they would immediately recognize the face.
It was none other than the evil soul master Contra, Blood Infant, whom they had supposedly killed. However, it seemed they hadn't completely eradicated this malicious soul master.
After revealing a wicked smile, the blood-red face controlled by the Blood Infant shot toward Ziluo with a sharp whooshing sound.
In the blink of an eye, the blood-red face enveloped Ziluo's body, and countless streams of blood seeped into her.
As the blood entered her body, Ziluo's body stiffened, and she collapsed to the ground.
Minutes passed.
Suddenly, Ziluo, lying on the ground, moved her hands. Then, her eyes opened, and she abruptly sat up with a spring-like motion.
"Having a body feels wonderful, though it's a pity it's someone else's body—and a woman's at that..."
Looking at her pale, tender hands, Ziluo's face emitted a sharp, eerie voice.
This voice belonged to the blood-red face—or rather, the Blood Infant.
"Kehehe, I was so close to being killed before. But they didn't expect me to survive. Although my strength has dropped to the Soul King level and I've reverted to an infant form, I can recover quickly as long as I have blood!"
"Ziluo's" face twisted into a sinister smile.
"From this girl's memories, it seems the Spirit Hall wanted to use us evil soul masters for training. Quite the plan, but they underestimated me."
"Oh? Even the Holy Son and Holy Maiden have been sent here? Kehehe, Spirit Hall, since you've caused us such heavy losses, it's only fair I return the favor. This girl knows the Holy Son and Holy Maiden—time to pay them a visit!"
After briefly closing her eyes to review Ziluo's memories, the Blood Infant chuckled to itself.
Using the blood left within the evil soul masters, the Blood Infant quickly pinpointed Lin Ye and the others' location, smirking darkly.
Leaping to its feet, the Blood Infant controlled Ziluo's body and dashed toward the forest outside Guhe Town.
…
Meanwhile, in the forest surrounding Guhe Town—
"Swish!"
With Xie Yue's blade slicing through the air, a burst of silver light flashed, and blood sprayed out. Several evil soul masters' bodies wavered before collapsing to the ground.
"Another four!"
After killing more evil soul masters and collecting evidence, Xie Yue smiled faintly.
"Brother, how many have we killed so far?"
Beside him, Hu Liena asked.
"Over twenty, I think," Xie Yue replied after some thought.
"Hehe, we must be in first place by now, right?" Yan chuckled.
"Of course! With Tangyuan helping us locate targets, we've found the most people. And because of our strength, we can quickly deal with any group of evil soul masters we encounter."
"If it were someone else, even if they found multiple evil soul masters, it would take them a lot of time to deal with them—assuming they could even win."
Lin Ye spoke calmly.
"True!"
Although Yan wasn't fond of Lin Ye, he had to admit he was right.
"Alright, let's keep going."
After securing the evidence, Xie Yue stood up and spoke.
"Rustle…"
Just as the group was about to leave, a sound came from the distance.
It was the noise of something moving through the bushes. The sound was too loud to be an animal.
"Someone's coming!"
Hearing the noise, Lin Ye whispered.
"Form up!"
Xie Yue quickly reacted to Lin Ye's words, instructing everyone to get into formation.
Yan and Xie Yue stood facing the source of the sound, while Lin Ye and Hu Liena took up positions behind them, their eyes fixed on the direction of the noise.
As the rustling grew louder, the sound of hurried breathing reached their ears.
Just as tension peaked, a purple figure suddenly emerged from the forest.
"Holy Son!"
Upon seeing Xie Yue and the others, the figure exclaimed in joy.
