The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 796 - 302 Blood Spread

"Her injuries are too severe; at this rate, I can’t save her."

Removing the seal was much simpler than applying it, yet Qian Qian’s divine power was still nearly depleted.

But Tai Bai’s divine power remained within Zhen Li, continuously destroying her vitality.

Demons and Gods are not immortal, they just possess more robust life forces compared to ordinary people, and the Demon Race’s life force is even stronger. However, they cannot withstand the relentless devastation of the flesh caused by the power left by a Divine Emperor.

Even with the seal removed, Zhen Li was still not out of danger.

Her blood had not stopped flowing, incessantly dripping.

On the other hand, Yu Jiaolong’s condition had stabilized. Qian Qian was exhausted when she struck in anger, and Yu Jiaolong’s Gold armor was sufficiently strong to spare her from death.

With the care of the Snow Maiden, it was quite normal for her to survive by chance.

What troubled them now was Zhen Li’s injury.

From start to finish, Zhen Li was the most innocent, which made it hard for Qian Qian to calm her feelings.

Had she not suggested sealing Zhen Li, this disaster would not have befallen her.

If Zhen Li were to die, she would never forgive herself.

"There’s only one way now."

Qian Qian steeled her heart and conceived a bold idea.

"What way?"

The Snow Maiden asked in confusion.

"Send her to the Demon Land."

Qian Qian said resolutely.

Zhen Li was a demon, that much was certain. If she were to return to the Demon Land, like a dying fish returning to water, perhaps there would still be a glimmer of hope for her.

This idea was indeed audacious; previously, Qian Qian and the Snow Maiden were hesitant to let Zhen Li return to the Demon Land, fearing it would be akin to releasing a tiger back into the wild.

But now, they had no other choice.

Moreover, Qian Qian trusted Zhen Li.

The Snow Maiden, not one to overthink, was agreeable and adaptable, and she also agreed with Qian Qian’s proposal.

"My divine power is insufficient; you take her!"

"Okay."

Time was urgent. The Snow Maiden picked up Zhen Li and stepped to the edge of the barrier.

However, the barrier had undergone some subtle changes today.

It was originally a colorless film, with a distinct division between the two sides—one side grey and gloomy, the other snow-white.

Today, the barrier film was red, casting the snow beneath Snow Maiden’s feet as if it had turned into blood.

This sudden change puzzled the Snow Maiden, but with Zhen Li’s breath growing weaker, saving her was the priority.

Without the luxury of time to hesitate, the Snow Maiden embraced Zhen Li and attempted to cross through the barrier.

Though Zhen Li might recover upon reaching the Demon Land, the Snow Maiden was unaware of what lay there, and with Zhen Li devoid of any power to resist, she had to follow and protect her.

Yet, upon touching the red barrier, she was quickly repelled, while the Zhen Li in her arms was swallowed up by the barrier like it had devoured her in one gulp, vanishing without a trace.

"This is bad!"

This situation was completely beyond the Snow Maiden’s expectations.

Isn’t the barrier supposed to allow anyone to pass through?

Lin Yun had passed through it with ease; why was she the only one being repelled?

What if Zhen Li encountered danger on the other side?

The Snow Maiden tried again, enveloping herself with her power as she approached the barrier. This time, she was repelled even further away.

It was because she was knocked so far that the Snow Maiden finally noticed something odd.

Looking down from a high vantage point, she could see that a vast expanse of the snowfield was dark red.

Was it all reflected by the red film of the barrier?

No, that wasn’t right—it was the original color of the snowfield itself. The red color of the barrier wasn’t even this deep.

Rather than saying the barrier was reflecting the land, it was more accurate to say that the barrier was dyed red by the land itself.

The Snow Maiden hurriedly flew higher, and from her elevated position, she could clearly see that Xuanwu’s entire head had turned into a dark red area, and moreover, after it connected with the barrier, the blood red was even spreading relentlessly.

"What is this..."

The Snow Maiden was somewhat puzzled; she had no idea what was happening. She only had an ominous hunch that this shade of red did not bode well, likely linked to something evil.

Besides, the blood red had already connected to the Demon Land barrier, separated from the Demon Land itself by only a thin membrane.

Had the barrier undergone some calamity, and the Demon Land was about to strike through?

Wouldn’t Zhen Li, who had suddenly appeared on the other side of the barrier, encounter the Demon Race army? Wasn’t that extremely dangerous?

Anxiety filled the Snow Maiden’s heart, and she struggled to make a decision.

Her thoughts then turned to Lin Yun; if he were here, he would surely have a way.

Right, think about what Lin Yun would do!

The Snow Maiden forced her mind to work rapidly, and soon, she had an answer.

Alert someone!

Lin Yun would certainly try that first and, upon finding it useless, he would seek out his teammates.

Now, the only person the Snow Maiden could rely on was Qian Qian.

With her mind made up, the Snow Maiden stepped forward and appeared outside the Divine Temple.

At that moment, the Divine Temple presented a hellish scene, with blood-red hands clutching Qian Qian tightly, attempting to drag her down into the blood-red earth. With her Divine Power exhausted, Qian Qian could not break free and was already half-submerged.

The Snow Maiden hadn’t expected that, in her brief absence, such a drastic change would occur.

There was no time for her to ponder too much; she quickly went to grab Qian Qian.

"Don’t touch the ground, be careful of contamination!"

Qian Qian’s face was twisted in agony, and it was only then that the Snow Maiden noticed the streams of blood energy surging towards the top of Qian Qian’s head.

This must be the contamination Qian Qian had mentioned.

Unable to touch the ground, the Snow Maiden still had a way. She activated her own Divine Power and, bit by bit, pulled Qian Qian out from the mire-like blood-red snow, much like pulling up a radish.

Qian Qian’s body was smeared with copious amounts of dark red "mud," which continued to surge upwards, seemingly trying to envelop and bury her alive.

"Get away from here fast!"

As Qian Qian moved away from the source of contamination, her consciousness partially recovered, and she urged the Snow Maiden to flee.

"What has happened?"

The Snow Maiden wanted to ask Qian Qian how to save Zhen Li, but realized she had to first attend to her own temple that was on the brink of destruction.

"It’s Zhen Li’s blood."

As soon as Qian Qian noticed something was wrong, she identified the root of the problem.

The origin of the blood-red muck was precisely where Zhen Li’s blood had splattered.

Initially, Qian Qian had simply thought that Zhen Li’s blood contained a powerful force but hadn’t thought too much about it. By the time she realized, it was already too late to stem the tide of events.

"Where is Lin Yu?"

The Snow Maiden looked around but could no longer find any trace of Lin Yu.

"She has been devoured."

This answer caused the Snow Maiden’s heart to sink as well.

Being consumed by such an aberrant thing, she must be done for, right?

If Lin Yun knew that Lin Yu had died just like that, he would be devastated.

The Snow Maiden felt a surge of sorrow when suddenly, the pool of blood-red muck began to bubble furiously. Accompanied by the roar of a tiger, a clump of blood enveloped in thunderbolt surged out of the muck.

As one of the Four Spirits, the Snow Maiden instantly recognized this power.

It was the blood of the White Tiger!

Lin Yu must indeed be dead, leaving behind only this vital blood.

Feeling a pang of sadness, the Snow Maiden reached out for the White Tiger Blood. As one of the Four Spirits, she could temporarily safeguard this blood and later hand it over to Lin Yun as the only remnant of Lin Yu.

However, the clump of blood didn’t fly towards her; instead, it shot towards the distance and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Thousands of miles away, on Purple Cloud Mountain, a thunderbolt struck Lin Yu...
