Chapter 1361

A trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

"So."

"What was Nanxu's final outcome?"

Huo Jilin asked.

His voice was low.

Qilian slowly opened his eyes.

His deep gaze seemed to have traveled through a thousand years of time and space.

"My resentment and unwillingness before my death became the fuse of his failure."

"He was attacked by my soul when the forbidden technique was about to be completed."

Hu Bayi clenched his fists.

"You mean."

"Because of your strong resentment..."

"That's right."

Qilian interrupted him.

"My resentment interfered with the forbidden technique."

"It made Princess Huayang unable to revive."

"And Nanxu himself was attacked by the forbidden technique."

Wang Kaixuan swallowed his saliva.

"That guy...what happened in the end?"

A faint smile appeared on Qilian's face.

"After the failure."

"Nanxu was overwhelmed by the huge disappointment and anger."

"He died of suffocation."

Huo Jilin's eyes became cold.

The smell of decay and resentment in the blood lake was suffocating, and under Qilian's calm face.

What unknown secrets were hidden?

"We must find the source of the blood river."

Huo Ji said directly.

Wang Kaixuan nodded in agreement.

But he still felt scared.

"The blood river... sounds very unlucky."

Hu Bayi frowned and thought.

"The blood river is diverted... There must be something wrong here."

The four people carefully walked through the dark and damp tomb passage.

Every step seemed to step on a ball of wet moss.

Slippery.

Huo Jilin was in the front.

Holding a sharp dagger in his hand.

Be alert to the possible dangers around.

Suddenly.

Shirley Yang slowly crawled to the shore of the Blood Lake.

After being possessed by the Soul of Life-stealing, her whole person became extremely strange.

Qi Lian glanced at her.

A complex flashed in his eyes.

"Wait!"

Hu Bayi shouted loudly.

But it was too late.

Qi Lian pushed Shirley Yang into the Blood Lake again without hesitation.

Shirley Yang fell into the blood-red lake.

There was no struggle.

The soul trapped in Shirley Yang's body began to cry in pain again.

Huo Jilin did not stop Qi Lian.

Because Shirley Yang herself would not be hurt

--She was now just a shell under the possession of the Soul of Life-stealing.

Wang Kaixuan took a few steps back in fear.

"This... This is too scary!"

As Shirley Yang was pushed into the Blood Lake.

The originally calm water surface began to ripple.

The souls transformed by the endless resentment of those craftsmen and Qi Lian himself seemed to have found their target.

Ripples formed on the water surface.

But they didn't know that the blood river that flowed out from the blood lake had not yet revealed its true horror.

--It not only existed physically in the tomb.

It was also somehow connected to the unsettled anger and resentment in the deepest part of everyone's heart.

Huo Jilin's eyes passed through the dim torchlight.

Staring at Shirley Yang, who was moving slowly in the center of the blood lake.

After Qilian pushed Shirley Yang into the blood lake.

Huo Jilin felt an unusual energy fluctuation.

"Is it you? Nanxu..."

Huo Jilin muttered to himself.

A trace of insight flashed in his eyes.

Qilian seemed to hear his whisper.

Turned around.

His eyes were as sharp as a knife.

He didn't say much.

He just stretched out his hand to drag Shirley Yang out of the blood-red water.

The phantom soul-stealing soul on Shirley Yang seemed to be bound by invisible chains.

Struggling in the blood lake.

Hu Bayi frowned.

His eyes moved back and forth between Huo Jilin and Qilian.

"What do you two know?"

Wang Kaixuan stood aside.

His face was full of horror and confusion.

He looked at Shirley Yang, who was just pulled up and still covered in blood.

A chill passed through his heart.

"Nanxu left a last trick before he died."

Qilian finally spoke.

"This soul-stealing is the tool he left behind to continue his plan."

Huo Jilin's hand holding the dagger trembled slightly.

"So it attached itself to Shirley Yang?"

"That's right."

Qilian nodded.

"It needs to absorb enough life force to fully revive Nanxu."

The four of them were silent for a moment.

The air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Huo Jilin took a deep breath.

"We can't let this happen."

Hu Bayi gritted his teeth.

"Damn it! This bastard is so sinister!"

Huo Jilin looked around the gloomy tomb passage.

"Nanxu must have left behind more than these."

Qilian gentlyNodding.

No words.

Huo Jilin's eyes moved away from the center of the blood lake.

They fell on Qi Lian's face.

Under the flickering light of the torch.

His face looked particularly deep.

Although Shirley Yang had been dragged out of the water.

But she still showed no signs of waking up.

"You brought us here."

"Is there something you want us to do?"

Huo Jilin looked at Qi Lian and said.

Qi Lian raised his mouth.

"I hope you can help me unlock the seal of the black box."

"Just consider it an exchange for my saving Shirley Yang."

"Remove your seal?"

Huo Jilin's tone was calm.

But it revealed an unquestionable tone.

"Is this your only condition?"

Qi Lian nodded.

A hint of expectation flashed in his seemingly indifferent eyes.

"Only in this way."

"I can get real relief."

Wang Kaixuan rubbed the goose bumps on his arm.

He looked at Qilian with sympathy.

"Because he saved Shirley Yang."

"I think we should help him."

Hu Bayi didn't buy it.

He retorted bluntly.

"Can you grow some brains?"

"Qi Lian has been tortured for so long."

"What should I do if Kuang Xin Dafa is unblocked?"

Huo Jilin was silent for a moment.

Weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Finally he looked up.

"We don't really have a choice."

He said to Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.

"Shirley Yang is still in a coma."

"If we don't help him."

"Shirley Yang may never wake up."

"So we have to take a gamble."

The three thought for a long time.

Huo Jilin was the first to break the silence.

"Let's go to the center of the blood lake."

So.

In the shadow of the flickering torches.

The four people carefully passed through the tomb passage full of traps.

When they reached the edge of the blood lake.

Huo Jilin stopped.

"I hope we can wake up after we unlock the seal."

"Shirley Yang can wake up."

He warned Qilian.

"Is there something wrong with the lake water?"

Huo Jilin's eyes stayed on the bloody lake water.

"Yes."

"You can't touch it once you see it!"

Wang Kaixuan drooped his face.

Hu Bayi also frowned and looked at Qilian.

"You are not kidding us."

"How are we going to get through?"

Qilian answered with a cold face.

"This lake water is extremely evil."

"Ordinary people naturally can't touch it."

He paused.

Continued.

"But as long as you eat the human face flower here, you can resist the erosion of the lake water."
