Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

"Senior Sister, are you okay?"

Ever since leaving that blood-red world, Luo Rou had been completely out of it.

Luckily, Jiang Yuzhe remembered the route they had taken.

If Luo Rou had still been leading the way, they would have been in trouble long ago!

Luo Rou didn't answer Jiang Yuzhe. She just stared blankly ahead.

Before they left, Ye Chen had yelled at her, his voice harsh and his expression severe. It left a bad taste in her mouth.

Normally, she wasn't one to sweat the small stuff.

Despite being the young lady of the Luo family and used to a life of privilege, she wasn't difficult to get along with. In fact, she came across as quite approachable.

"Senior Sister, watch out!"

Just then, Jiang Yuzhe suddenly cried out in alarm.

Luo Rou snapped back to reality. She finally realized she had taken a wrong step, and a bloody wave from the adjacent sea of blood was crashing toward her!

The dense, bloody Evil Qi was enough to make one tremble!

But she was, after all, a battle-hardened Cultivator. She reacted quickly, dodging the blow just in time and getting back on the correct path.

Seeing the surrounding sea of blood calm down again, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior Sister, what are you doing?"

"Why are you so distracted!?" Jiang Yuzhe frowned.

"I…" Luo Rou bit her red lip. "Junior Brother, are you fed up with me now, too?"

"That's not what I meant at all!" Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhe quickly waved his hands. "Senior Sister, you're not still upset about what Fellow Daoist Ye Chen said, are you?"

"From what I saw, he only said that because he cares about you. People get flustered when they're worried, right?"

'People get flustered when they're worried?' Luo Rou repeated, stunned for a moment.

"Yeah. That final look Fellow Daoist Ye Chen gave you… he was clearly still very worried about your safety."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed behind by himself to cover our escape, would he?"

Jiang Yuzhe said.

"…You're right. For our sake, he's still in there fighting those hell-spawn. He's in grave danger!"

"We have to get out of here and find reinforcements as quickly as possible!"

Luo Rou's spirits suddenly lifted.

Jiang Yuzhe's words had put her mind at ease.

'Ye Chen wasn't annoyed with her; he just didn't want her to run into danger!'

'People get flustered when they're worried! Her own distraction earlier… wasn't that also because she was worried about Ye Chen?'

'Since she was worried he was in danger, she had to leave this sea of blood immediately and report everything to Mo Tianyun!'

At this thought, Luo Rou's movements became sharp and efficient once more.

It was as if she had reverted to her old self, the capable Senior Sister, leading Jiang Yuzhe decisively through the bloody passage toward the outside world.

Jiang Yuzhe followed behind, his gaze toward Luo Rou turning a little strange.

'Senior Sister couldn't possibly…'

Jiang Yuzhe shook his head, not daring to think about it further.

Besides, this wasn't the time for such thoughts.

They couldn't be considered completely out of danger yet. They couldn't truly relax until they saw Mo Tianyun and the others.

"Great, we're here!"

With her mind clear again, Luo Rou quickly led Jiang Yuzhe to the entrance of the bloody passage.

The two were just about to leave.

But just then, the bloody passage suddenly began to shake.

The entire sea of blood was churning, throwing up turbulent waves. At a glance, it looked as if it was about to pour down onto Kunlun Mountain below, teetering precariously and striking fear into the hearts of all who saw it!

"What's going on?!"

Luo Rou and Jiang Yuzhe's expressions changed drastically.

"You two are finally out?"

A familiar voice rang out from outside the bloody passage. Mo Tianyun's figure had appeared there!

His face was stern, but his eyes held a trace of bewildered surprise.

Seeing Mo Tianyun, Luo Rou and Jiang Yuzhe immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.

But the constantly shaking passage behind them, which seemed about to collapse at any second, kept them on edge, making it impossible to remain calm!

"What are you waiting for? Get out here, now!"

Mo Tianyun's brows knitted together as he shouted.

He struck out with his palm. A powerful Palm Force landed on the sea of blood before him, barely managing to stabilize the entrance to the bloody passage.

Seeing their chance, Luo Rou and Jiang Yuzhe quickly took a step and left the sea of blood!

Moments after they left, the bloody passage behind them was completely submerged by crimson waves. The sea of blood roiled, its waves surging as an astonishing amount of bloody Evil Qi shot into the sky, threatening to engulf the heavens and the earth!

"That was close!"

"One more second and we would've been done for!" Jiang Yuzhe gasped, still shaken.

"By the way, why is it just the two of you?"

Mo Tianyun looked Luo Rou and Jiang Yuzhe over. Seeing that neither was injured, he breathed a small sigh of relief.

"Right, where's Ye Chen? Wasn't he in there too?"

"How come we didn't see him come out?"

The World Spirit, Song Yubing, and their group rushed over.

Behind them were the experts of the Huo family!

The other experts on the scene also turned to look when they heard this.

They had thought this bloody passage was a way out of Kunlun Mountain, but now it seemed it was incredibly dangerous inside.

Thankfully, they had listened to Ye Chen and hadn't rushed in, obediently staying outside.

But now the bloody passage had collapsed, and it seemed Ye Chen... hadn't made it out?

At these words, Luo Rou's expression darkened. She looked at the World Spirit and Song Yubing with a complicated gaze and sighed. "He… He stayed behind to cover our retreat. He didn't make it out!"

"What?!" Song Yubing's face turned pale.

Even the World Spirit, who was usually unflappable, had a sharp glint in their eyes, as if they couldn't believe it.

"Ye Chen… didn't make it out? How could…" Huo Susu's pretty face changed, and her voice began to tremble.

"Tell us, what exactly is the situation inside?"

"Why did young friend Ye Chen have to cover your retreat? Could it be there was some other shocking danger inside?"

Mo Tianyun's brows were tightly locked.

As the Grand Deacon of the Demon Exorcism Institute and the person with the highest status and strength present, he did his best to keep his voice steady to soothe Luo Rou and Jiang Yuzhe's emotions.

"HAHAHA… How utterly foolish!"

"Did you really think I didn't know that you lot from the Demon Exorcism Institute could break the Great Blood-Evil Formation?"

However, before Luo Rou could speak, a loud laugh suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.

The Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable trod upon the void, waves of Evil Qi rolling off him. He was like a Demon God descending, his might boundless!

And before him, a Daoist-robed elder stood in a remote standoff.

Clearly, if the Daoist-robed elder hadn't been tying him up, Mo Tianyun would not have been able to free himself to lend a hand and rescue Luo Rou and Jiang Yuzhe from the Great Blood-Evil Formation.
