The key lies with the Eternal Songstress, who knows too many of my secrets. Once she is rescued, those secrets might be exposed.
My plan would be greatly disrupted.
She not only knows that I intend to use her as a sacrifice to summon the Blood Demon God, but she also knows of the Corpse Speaker’s activities in turning the heroic souls dormant in the ground into corpse puppets.
Fortunately, the Eternal Songstress doesn’t know where my base is, giving me some time to buffer.
Otherwise, even if Blood Demon Du Bo perceived some flaws, he would still summon the fifty-third pillar demon god, Blood Demon God Cain, to Blue Star to start a massacre.
Although Blood Demon Du Bo was furious, he cowardly retreated in the face of the many high-tier Pet Beast Masters in the South Heaven Gate Fortress.
Yet in his heart, he considered it a strategic retreat.
After all, an egg doesn’t clash with a stone.
He would be a fool to face so many high-tier Pet Beast Masters.
"Corpse Speaker, don’t blame me. Better you than me—who told you to desecrate those heroic spirits buried underground?"
"All I need to do now is bide my time until I gather enough blood, then I can summon the Blood Demon God."
While the current Blood River is enough to summon an eighth-tier Blood Demon God, an eighth-tier Blood Demon God is not invincible.
He wants to summon the ninth-tier form of the Blood Demon God, a form powerful enough to sweep everything aside.
He let out a cold snort and transformed into countless blood mists that surged into the Blood River.
The Blood River was full of Blood Demon Du Bo’s imprints. Even if his body were destroyed, he could quickly resurrect by putting a Blood Core into the Blood River.
As someone who follows the path of a survivalist, Blood Demon Du Bo adheres to the principle that a man must learn to survive.
At this moment, Lan Fa appeared, staring blankly at Zhang Jie and Ye Bai, who suddenly appeared in the room.
His gaze fell on Zhang Jie; this person seemed very familiar.
Suddenly, a spark of realization flashed in Lan Fa’s mind; he seemed to know where he had seen this person before.
"Isn’t this the Eternal Songstress?"
The Eternal Songstress, as an extremely positive figure, had her stories widely known.
Even her statues could be seen everywhere. Thıs content belongs to NovelHub(.)net
This person, who had been dead for over a decade, suddenly appearing before him, gave Lan Fa a great shock.
"Could this be the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm transformed?"
Lan Fa poked Zhang Jie’s cheek with his finger, finding it rather resilient.
Could the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm’s transformations be so realistic?
Lan Fa knew that the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm had the ability to split into clones and perform mimicry.
Unfortunately, Lan Fa guessed wrong.
Zhang Jie was also angered by Lan Fa’s rude actions.
"Lan Fa, I can very solemnly tell you, she’s not the work of the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, you’ve offended her."
At this moment, Lan Fa suddenly felt the world spin around him, his body slammed hard onto the ground, having been thrown by Zhang Jie with an over-the-shoulder technique.
"See, Lan Fa, I did warn you. Who told you to be so bold?"
Ye Bai shrugged, wearing a mischievous grin; the Eternal Songstress is a tier seven Pet Beast Master, naturally not someone Lan Fa could compare to.
"Since you have resurrected from death, and both the Blood Demon and the Dark Night Blood Bat King are hunting you, you must have heard some big secret. We should report immediately to the highest commander guarding the South Heaven Gate."
Ye Bai intentionally said this to the Eternal Songstress; he knew from the intelligence system about the schemes of the Blood Demon and the Corpse Speaker and had to report immediately to the high authorities of South Heaven Gate.
Anyway, Jiao Mu Flood Dragon is my martial uncle. If the intelligence reported by Zhang Jie fails to attract the attention of the high authorities of the South Heaven Gate Fortress, Ye Bai would take the opportunity to report to his grandmaster.
Zhang Jie nodded: "Then I’ll trouble you. I have very important information to report directly to the highest commander of the South Heaven Gate."
"This concerns whether the South Heaven Gate Fortress might be breached from within."
At this moment, Lan Fa suddenly chimed in.
"Ye Bai, grandmaster has already arrived at the South Heaven Gate Fortress and is currently the highest commander."
Ye Bai was delighted. Although he didn’t know the extent of his grandmaster’s prowess, having him stationed here promised stability this time.
He immediately used the Hellfire Ring to contact his grandmaster.
Zhang Dashan instructed him to head directly to the South Heaven Gate Fortress’s operations meeting room.
Ye Bai promptly made his way to the operations meeting room without delay.
Just as he was about to reach the meeting room, a familiar voice came from behind.
Ye Bai turned his head and saw Zhang Lingxue, dressed in combat attire.
Her long black hair cascaded over the well-tailored clothes, with a butterfly-shaped silver hairpin tucked into her hair.
The hairpin occasionally twitched; it was the Sword Butterfly.
Zhang Lingxue’s talent allowed her to endlessly contract similar exotic beasts, and the Sword Butterflies she cultivated had become her adornments.
The successful rapid propagation experiment of Sword Butterflies had garnered Zhang Lingxue significant international fame.
At this moment, Zhang Lingxue was a rising star in the Flame Country’s research field.
The Poison Dragon Butterfly and the Light Goddess Butterfly guarded Zhang Lingxue like two gate deities.
Purple and silver-white powder wafted in the air, exuding an indescribable sanctity and eeriness.
Zhang Lingxue’s lips curved into a smile, a joyful reunion emanating from her.
A trace of surprise flickered in her deep eyes, she noticed Zhang Jie behind Ye Bai.
This person looked remarkably like the Eternal Songstress—Zhang Jie, who had sacrificed herself sixteen years ago.
Zhang Lingxue blinked, her gaze shifting between Zhang Jie and the statue.
