Chapter 460: Chapter 305 Breaking the Formation

The Blood Demon Cave, a corridor, was already shrouded in a haze of blood mist.

"Drip..."

"Drip..."

"Drip..."

Bai Muxi, clad in a purple gauze dress, paced back and forth in the darkness, her delicate fist clenched tightly beneath her wide sleeves, and the tension on her exquisite little face made her look extremely troubled.

During the escape led by Li Qingyan, she had witnessed the destruction caused by the battle between the Barbarian King and the Third Young Master.

Such devastation, capable of almost obliterating the landscape, she didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if it occurred within the Underground City...

The events of the past ten days had shattered all the views she had formed within the Underground City.

The strength of the ghost creatures...

The strength of the Barbarian Tribes...

And, the Ghostification of the Young Master...

Even though the Third Young Master had only appeared briefly before she was dragged away by Li Qingyan, through the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant she still sensed how severe the Ghostification of his body had become.

If the Young Master were to completely turn into a ghost creature...

At this thought, Bai Muxi’s breathing grew slightly more rapid. She looked towards the red-robed woman sitting quietly with her legs crossed on the ground, eyes closed and refining her spirit, and suggested:

"Your Highness Princess, these spatial rifts are appearing so strangely, should we not..."

"Shut up."

Li Qingyan was already wearing her favorite red robe, while channeling her Cultivation Technique to recover from the injuries she had sustained in the fight with the Ink Serpent. Her voice was cold and resolute, showing no sign of nervousness:

"We’ll wait here."

Bai Muxi bit her lip:

"Aren’t you worried at all if something happens to the Young Master?"

"...."

A moment of silence.

The red-robed woman with closed eyes gave a straightforward response:

"If something happens to him, this palace will die here with him in the Underground Palace."

"......"

Bai Muxi looked away, slightly dejected, and continued pacing back and forth in the cramped corridor.

Time stealthily passed amidst Xiao Bai’s anxiety.

After an indeterminate amount of time,

suddenly.

"Drip."

A man in bloodied clothes appeared out of nowhere between the two women,

Li Qingyan immediately opened her eyes,

and Bai Muxi, who had been pacing with her head down, accidentally collided with him head-on. With a puzzled lift of her gaze and upon meeting those crimson eyes devoid of whites, she instinctively shrank her neck before her eyes immediately brightened with joy, and she embraced the blood-clad man:

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Feeling the softness pressing against his chest, Xu Yuan casually embraced Xiao Bai’s boneless waist and chuckled:

"There is trouble, and it’s big."

Li Qingyan got to her feet, holding the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant in her hand and studying him for a moment before her lips curved up slightly:

"It seems quite significant indeed."

As they spoke, a ripple spread from the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant.

Then,

Xu Yuan felt as though he had established a strange connection with the red-clad woman before him.

Xu Yuan narrowed his crimson eyes, feeling his consciousness clear up quite a bit, and upon meeting her gaze, he unconsciously cracked a slight smile:

"It seems you’ve already figured out how to use this jade pendant?"

Li Qingyan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled:

"Naturally, if you do turn into a ghost creature, this palace was prepared to take advantage of this item to become your master, Third Young Master."

"Wow... that’s quite ambitious."

Xu Yuan chuckled softly, walked towards Li Qingyan while still holding Xiao Bai by the waist, and reached out a hand towards her: "Come."

Li Qingyan glanced at Xiao Bai, whose head was buried in his chest, took his hand with a laugh in her voice:

"Has the situation become so dire that you need to enjoy the blessings of both?"

"Look at how you’re putting it...."

Xu Yuan let out a light chuckle, then his expression turned serious:

"Qingyan, the Barbarian King is about to break through into sainthood."

"....."

The air suddenly fell silent.

Li Qingyan quickly came to terms with the reality and, after a brief moment of reflection, asked softly:

"So, you’ve struck a deal with that ghost creature?"

"Our princess is as clever as ever."

Xu Yuan gave a slight tug on her hand, pulling Li Qingyan into his embrace. He inhaled the fragrance of her hair, saying, "We need to hurry to the Blood Nest to get the Demon Crystal. I’m holding onto Bai Muxi because you’re too slow; she’s merely a means of transport."

Li Qingyan wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his shoulder, laughing softly:

"I didn’t say anything. Why explain yourself?"

"Heh... it’s always necessary to explain a little."

As they talked, Xu Yuan’s figure soared into the air, carrying two beauties with him as he turned into a blood-red afterimage and dashed towards the depths of the Underground Palace...

...

...

...

Unable to use the Step Void Slash, a teleportation-like method of travel, because he was carrying two extra people, Xu Yuan’s speed, with his newly-transformed body, wasn’t much slower than before.

About fifteen minutes later,

Xu Yuan arrived with the two women at the corridor that Luo Xiran had caused to collapse earlier to prevent him and the Barbarian King from venturing further into the Underground Palace.

At that moment, several sinister-looking Primordial ghost creatures were crawling outside, guarding a constricted corridor about ten meters in diameter.

When they felt Xu Yuan’s approach, the ghost creatures didn’t stir until the blood light with the two women swept past them; it was then that the creatures began to act.

They frenziedly attacked the rather sturdy corridor, forging a path outward, and the corridor that had initially been excavated once again collapsed, completely cutting off the path from the Underground Palace to the Blood Nest.

"Thunderous noise—"

As sounds of collapse echoed behind him, Xu Yuan rushed through the dark and narrow corridor.

With the blackness speeding by on either side, the corridor gradually widened from the initial ten meters into a vast and magnificent expanse.
