You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

With an endless stench of blood spreading, a sudden surge of blood light filled the entire barrier in an instant. The endless blood light undulated like the sea, and in a moment, coalesced into a stunning woman dressed in imperial attire.

"Blood Sea Saint Mother?"

"It's the Blood Demon Ancestor!"

"How could the Blood Sea Saint Mother appear here?"

"This..."

The many Great Cultivators all recognized this towering figure of the Demon Path who had taught across the world, and couldn't help but change their expressions.

In terms of infamy, the Blood Sea Saint Mother was much more terrifying than Tian Ku Bodhisattva.

Even the Buddhist Holy Land had one of its locations destroyed by the Blood Sea Saint Mother, and her disciples were numerous throughout the world.

"Hmm?"

Tian Ku Bodhisattva's expression also changed, but he soon smiled amiably, "Saint Mother, why have you come?"

"I've come to retrieve my disciple," said the Blood Sea Saint Mother in a calm voice. "Had I not come, I fear my disciple would have been killed by you, right?"

"Your disciple?" The Bodhisattva couldn't help but glance at Hong Xi, "Is she your Direct Disciple?"

The one suspected to be Prince Xun, who was already at the peak of Great Cultivation and had carved his own path, obviously couldn't be the disciple of the Blood Sea Saint Mother.

So, could it be this Ninth Prince's granddaughter?

Only a Direct Disciple would merit the Blood Sea Saint Mother personally coming for a rescue, right?

"What does my taking a disciple have to do with you?" the Blood Sea Saint Mother retorted.

Tian Ku Bodhisattva frowned.

Although he wasn't afraid of the Blood Sea Saint Mother, he also didn't wish to make an enemy of her.

If Hong Xi had ordinary talent, he wouldn't care, but being a Prince's granddaughter with such aptitude, if he didn't kill her now, she could become a threat in the future.

Not to mention the even more talented Prince Xun.

"Tian Ku Bodhisattva, surely you aren't thinking of letting them go?"

Just then, Prince Xun's Divine Thought Transmission sounded in Tian Ku Bodhisattva's mind: "Bodhisattva, don't forget, when you destroyed the remnants of Linwang Mansion without mercy, if Prince Xun achieves Harmonization and becomes a Saint in the future, he will surely be a defy-the-heavens existence. By then, do you think you can escape?"

"Prince Xun, this poor monk also understands the danger of Prince Xun and did not plan to let them go, it's just..." Tian Ku Bodhisattva replied, "The Blood Sea Saint Mother is indeed troublesome. If I kill her disciple right in front of her, it would provoke great enmity."

"Do you think that by merely sparing Hong Xi, the Blood Sea Saint Mother will leave?"

Prince Xun's sneering Divine Thought Transmission came: "Yes, perhaps after sparing Hong Xi, the Blood Sea Saint Mother might agree to leave, but since Prince Xun dares to show up, it means he's confident the Blood Sea Saint Mother will protect him."

He scoffed, "Moreover, even if we kill Prince Xun today and spare Hong Xi, with Hong Xi's talents, and now that she has entered under the tutelage of the Blood Sea Saint Mother, she may still become a threat once her Cultivation is established."

"...Fine."

Tian Ku Bodhisattva replied via Divine Thought Transmission: "But Prince Xun, do you have a way to delay the Blood Sea Saint Mother? This poor monk could take the opportunity to kill Xiahong Wuyuan and Hong Xi."

"The avatar of the Blood Sea Saint Mother is slightly stronger than the average Saint." Prince Xun replied, "If the Green Blood Sealing Heaven Array is fully activated, it should, for a short time, suppress the Blood Sea Saint Mother, allowing her to exhibit only a portion of her power. The rest will depend on the Bodhisattva's means."

Tian Ku Bodhisattva's thoughts raced, and he immediately transmitted, "Fine."

The Divine Thought Transmission was but a fleeting moment.

In the blink of an eye, the crimson, blood-like barrier suddenly burst forth with a blood-red mist, swirling around the Blood Sea Saint Mother from all directions.

At the same time, Tian Ku Bodhisattva launched a heavy palm strike towards the firelight and Hong Xi.

"Making a move?"

The Blood Sea Saint Mother suddenly smiled radiantly and gently spread her arms wide. In an instant, she transformed into a towering blood sea tide. Even if a portion of her Power was suppressed by the barrier's mist, she still managed a Return to Origin, turning into a Blood Sea.

In no time, the entire barrier filled with blood-red water, suppressing everyone within the Array Barrier.

"Going all out right from the start?" Tian Ku Bodhisattva found it barely believable.

This Return to Origin, turning into a Blood Sea, was the Blood Sea Saint Mother's strongest move, consuming her avatar's essence. Once used, the avatar would greatly weaken and have to recondense in the Blood Sea.

The Blood Sea was an all-encompassing suppression, making even the operation of Heaven and Earth Law laborious, and Divine Thoughts unable to spread.

"Bones form the wilderness, Heaven and Earth weep blood."

The Void around Tian Ku Bodhisattva suddenly shook, and a fantastical Heaven and Earth with him at the center descended into reality, vaguely revealing a land with bones exposed, souls flitting about in dark clouds, a landscape piled high with corpses.

This was the Inner Heaven and Earth of a Saint.

However, under the suppression of the Blood Sea, the arrival of this world was extremely difficult.

"Splash!"

The Blood Sea kept crashing against this world, allowing it to display only a fraction of its might.

Tian Ku Bodhisattva frowned; the Blood Sea Saint Mother's move indeed was as mystifying as the legends claimed, managing to suppress his Inner Heaven and Earth with just the Blood Sea?

"The mighty Power of Heaven and Earth, converge within me."

In an instant, within this hellish world, the invisible force completely focused on Tian Ku Bodhisattva.

However, at that moment, suppressed by the Blood Sea, his Inner Heaven and Earth Power could only manifest forty to fifty percent of its strength.

"Forty to fifty percent strength is enough."

Tian Ku Bodhisattva's expression turned icy, "It's still easy to kill a Great Cultivator."

He immediately propelled the Lotus Platform beneath him, breaking through the surging sea of blood and heading straight towards the firelight below.

"Your Highness."

The Divine Thought Transmission of the Blood Sea Saint Mother sounded in Lin Yue's mind: "Tian Ku Bodhisattva's strength is about thirty to forty percent, but this is Cangzhou. Do you have the confidence to deal with him?"
