Chapter 1025: The Pursuit Has Arrived
Pu Yunyuan was filled with doubts, but she didn't say much. She just followed Gu Heng toward the Blood Lake.
The two walked through the blood mist. Pu Yunyuan, who was injured and exhausted, was naturally not as relaxed as Gu Heng. However, she did not feel sorry for herself. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to keep up with Gu Heng's pace.
Before long, the two of them returned to Blood Lake.
"What is this place?"
Pu Yunyuan was shocked.
The blood lake before her was almost calm and still, but she could feel an incredibly terrifying chaos of power. The magical protection on her dress shattered instantly, making her face even paler and more panicked than before.
Fortunately, this magical artifact can still hold up, and Pu Yunyuan still has some treasures she can use.
Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to stay in this place for long.
It's definitely safer to stay inside the blood mist.
But Pu Yunyuan saw that Gu Heng was equally relaxed and unaffected here, just like before. She didn't detect any power in Gu Heng resisting the surrounding chaotic forces...
"Take a look for yourself. If you ask me, it's not something I can explain in a short time."
Gu Heng pointed to the sky.
Pu Yunyuan looked up and saw that there was an eye-like siphon in the sky, from which blood energy was continuously drawn and flowed into the blood lake.
A bitter smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she slid down onto a relatively smooth, dark red rock by the lake, her gaze sweeping over the eerie, pristine blood lake before turning to the churning blood mist around her.
Without much effort, she realized that the Blood Lake, though seemingly calm, was actually the true core of this bloody region! "The source of the blood energy seems to be outside?"
Although she had fled in a disheveled state, she now had a chance to calm down, and Pu Yunyuan immediately realized that there must be something fishy going on.
With such a massive amount of blood energy gathered here, whatever they intend to do will likely be an earth-shattering act!
"That's true, but I'd like to know how Inspector Pu ended up like this."
Gu Heng stopped paying attention to the blood lake.
He wanted to know even more what Pu Yunyuan had encountered and who she had just escaped from.
Pu Yunyuan was being stared at by his calm gaze, which seemed to possess a strange power that calmed her wildly beating heart slightly. She took a deep breath to suppress the metallic taste in her throat and the throbbing pain in her limbs.
"In my shallow and short-sighted view, you couldn't have been chased to this state by the Eternal Beast, right?"
Gu Heng stared at her. "Hehe, Young Master Gu is right."
When Pu Yunyuan had some free time, she took out a few pills and stuffed them haphazardly into her mouth.
"As an inspector, it is my duty to patrol the boundary. The starry sea beyond the heavens is where the eternal beasts may suddenly appear."
"Young Master Gu must have witnessed the beast tide that attacked the Junling Immortal Realm, right?"
Gu Heng nodded.
With such a massive beast tide, it's quite difficult to ignore.
"That's it. But then we discovered several figures within the incoming beast tide. They were mixed in with the Eternal Beasts, yet they weren't attacked at all. What do you think of this, Young Master Gu?"
Pu Yunyuan smiled helplessly.
"There are people mixed in with the Eternal Beasts, so I can't really say..." To be honest, Gu Heng didn't have any opinion on this.
When his ship was navigating through the beast tide, it didn't get attacked, at most it was bumped, and there were no subsequent attacks from the eternal beasts that seemed intent on tearing the ship apart and devouring them.
Gu Heng simply felt that the Eternal Beasts were aiming for the ultimate goal, so he didn't waste his energy on them.
Of course, you should choose the fattest and largest piece of meat to eat, why bother with the scraps?
But according to Pu Yunyuan, the Eternal Beast seems to spare no living being...
That would be strange.
Why were they let go?
"The Eternal Beast and all living beings are natural enemies. Whenever they meet, they will inevitably fight until only one side survives. It is impossible for the two to live in peace!"
Pu Yunyuan stared intently at the blood lake, as if she were about to be sucked in: "There must be something fishy about this. I originally intended to report this to the authorities, but our existence has already been discovered, and we have been chased all the way here."
"I can't use the Heaven-Protecting Talisman or the Void-Escape Shuttle I have. The space here is too chaotic, and any spatial treasure will be affected. So the others stayed behind to delay their pursuit so I could find a way to escape."
She wiped the blood from her face, her voice trembling.
The lingering fear only now rushed to her mind, and even Pu Yunyuan herself seemed to have no idea how she had managed to hold on until now.
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow and casually sat down on a rock opposite her, his posture still exuding a leisurely air that seemed out of place in this dangerous situation: "To be so bold as to touch the apple of the eye of the Pu family of Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain, those people must be very powerful."
Pu Yunyuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and she gave Gu Heng a deep look.
He now knew who she was.
"I'm not blind. A mere inspector has several cultivators more powerful than you by his side, and they all follow you. You don't think I can't see that, do you?" Gu Heng shrugged.
Pu Yunyuan remained silent; it seemed pointless to say anything now.
She did reveal her identity, but the other party remained unmoved. Even the name of the Pu family of Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain couldn't suppress her. Pu Yunyuan really couldn't figure out who the other party was.
Her ancestor was, after all, a giant in the Concept Realm; he couldn't just be ignored like a nobody!
However, at present, this abnormality is the least important detail that Pu Yunyuan needs to pay attention to.
Her life was in grave danger.
Looking back now, those people of unknown origin who were able to mingle with the Eternal Beasts must have been incredibly powerful!
As the only one in all realms, Seventh Grandfather had been at the peak of the Nirvana Realm for a long time and was likely to break through to the Concept Realm at any time, but he was still defeated after only a few moves!
But they didn't intend to kill everyone immediately; instead, they forced their way into this strange place, which must mean they had something else in mind. "Young Master Gu, do you also know what's going on with this place?" Pu Yunyuan said dejectedly.
"I don't know either, but there's a secret involved, and it's related to the gods of the era."
Gu Heng was annoyed just thinking about it. If it weren't for the divine-level power restriction in this blood lake, Gu Xitong would have already uncovered all the secrets inside!
Dogs that block the road are so annoying!
"I..." Pu Yunyuan was about to say something when her expression suddenly changed drastically. She looked sharply into the depths of the blood mist, her voice becoming shrill with extreme fear: "They're here! So fast!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Heng turned his head and saw three figures exuding a chilling killing intent, as if they had stepped out of the Netherworld Blood Sea, appearing at the edge of the Blood Lake like ghosts as they pierced through the thick blood mist!
The leader was tall and imposing, with an aura as deep as the sea. His entire body was covered in a tightly fitted, black, menacing armor, with only a pair of emotionless, blood-red eyes visible beneath his mask. The other two were similar in appearance.
If it weren't for the difference in their positions, Gu Heng wouldn't have been able to see any difference.
But they definitely don't have good intentions!
