Three figures stood outside of Mount Xuefeng, three hundred li away. Among them were the two sisters, Xiangyin.
The Xuan Yu's body trembled slightly. Although she had long heard of the terrifying power of the red talismans forged by the Small Folk, seeing it with her own eyes was a completely different experience. Under such terror, Yue Yao's cultivation in the later stages seemed incredibly fragile, easily obliterated at will.
Xiang Yin's face flickered in the blood moon's light, her eyes flashing with a hint of shame before being replaced by determination. In this place, under these circumstances, everything she did was just for survival, unrelated to personal grudges. Besides, she and Lu Ye didn't have any grudges against each other.
Standing before the two sisters was a man dressed in a blood-red robe, covering his face and head. He couldn't be seen clearly. When Xuan Yu came to this place with Xiang Yin before, she had already seen this person.
Although I don't know this person, his attire speaks volumes—he's undoubtedly a cultivator from Mount Blood!

Meng Xu had previously told Lu Ye that they had been betrayed before. The betrayers were not just those with weak minds, but also those whom they once regarded as brothers. Before coming here, these cultivators had undergone years of tests by the Xiaoren clan and were trusted by them.

Hu Dequan was right, the resources brought in from outside are limited. Once one's own resources are depleted and the consumed power cannot be replenished, the pain of cultivation declining day by day is unbearable for many people.
The only vein of Spirit Jade in this world is located at Mount Blood Saint. If you want to obtain the resources, you can only pledge allegiance to them.
>Because of the painful experiences over the years, Hu Dequan and others decided to eliminate Lu Ye after learning that he had been tainted by holiness. This is all due to historical reasons.
"You did well, follow me back to the peak, the Saint Venerable has rewards." The red-robed cultivator spoke slowly, his breath very weak.
Even if he was a late stage Yue Yao, with all his power driving a red talisman, the consumption would be enormous.
Especially this red talisman had been warming within his body for nearly a thousand years.
To be able to achieve a one-hit kill against Lu Ye, he dared not hold back in the slightest. According to Xiang Yin's information, as well as intelligence gathered from two nearby wandering cultivators, this newcomer who had arrived not long ago possessed an extremely terrifying level of sanctity. It was a level that even Saint Venerables could not match.
That is why even the Heavenly Saint Venerable would be willing to pay any price, and dispatch him to use the red talisman to deal with this matter. Otherwise, how could such a strategic weapon of mass destruction as the red talisman be used so easily?
If it weren't for the concern of their holiness, wouldn't it be more secure if I had taken action myself?
Now the entire Tingxue Peak has been leveled, and those cultivators only at the Yueyao mid-stage who were residing there must have perished without a burial place.
"Thank you, Daoist brother. Thank you, Saint Lord." Xiang Yin pursed her dry, crimson lips, showing little joy.
"I need to recover for a bit, you guys protect me." The red-robed cultivator gave an order and was about to sit down cross-legged.
At this very moment, he suddenly felt a pang of intuition. He turned his head and glanced to the side. In that direction, a figure was slowly approaching. It seemed unfamiliar, a young man with a long sword strapped to his waist, revealing his identity as a warrior cultivator. His aura wasn't particularly strong, only reaching the level of Yue Yao's middle stage.
<<< It's nothing special to be in the middle stage of Yueyao, after all, in this ghostly place, late-stage Yueyao cultivators are commonplace. >>>
The red-robed cultivator was slightly taken aback because he didn't know who had come.

"But the sweet aroma, instead of being welcomed, was met with a sharp gasp from Xi Yan. Her voice trembled with disbelief and fear."
Then, the red-robed cultivator heard Xiang Yin shout urgently, "Sister, run!"
When the magical power fluctuated, the Xiangyin sisters' clothes fluttered wildly. They hurried away into the distance, as if they had encountered some ferocious beast or terrible flood.
It's a pity, it can't go back anymore!
Streams of blood, transformed from the essence of lifeblood, surged in from all directions. As Lu Ye's figure approached, they enveloped the area, transforming it into a blood-choked ring.
Xiangyin still struggled, but the few blood rivers suddenly swelled and merged into one, directly transforming into a huge blood sphere that enveloped this vast area tightly.
The blood in the center of the cells was colorless. The same applied to the faces of the sisters, Xiaoyin and Xiangyin. Realizing they couldn't escape, the two could only fall to the ground, their eyes filled with fear as they stared at Lu Ye standing not far ahead. Xiaoyin's body trembled, her clenched fists turning white with the strain.
<<< I really can't figure this out. Under the might of that red talisman, how could Lu Ye, who only has the cultivation base of a mid-stage Moon Yao, have escaped? And looking at him, he doesn't seem to have been affected by the power of the red talisman at all. >>
The red-robed cultivator hadn't known who Lu Ye was originally, but after seeing the reactions of the Xiangyin sisters, he immediately had a guess.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The red-robed cultivator's eyes, fixed on Lu Ye who stood not far away, flickered with a hint of shame.
He could have been on the same side as Lu Ye, calling each other brothers. Unfortunately, they now met in such a terrible way.
"Which one?" he asked, a hint of calmness in his expression.
<<>>
< < ??????????? Moreover, he was currently depleted of strength and his power had significantly diminished. >< br / >< br / >
For many years, he lived in pain because of that unavoidable betrayal. Perhaps dying was also a kind of relief.
Lu Ye casually replied, "East!"
The red-robed cultivator nodded slightly: “I’m from the South. My Dao companion is…”
Lü Yè raised his hand to stop her. "No need to say it, I won't take your message out."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ?
The crimson-robed cultivator was taken aback, then let out a knowing smile. "So be it!" As soon as the words left his mouth, the remaining trace of his spiritual energy roared with a hum, and purple fluorescence bloomed from within him.

As expected, he was still unwilling to die like this. If he could truly face death with ease, he wouldn't have chosen to join the Holy Blood Peak back then.
He has already used the red talisman, but he still has a purple one!
After so many years of cultivation, although the power unleashed by the purple talisman is not as powerful as that of the red talisman, it is absolutely not to be underestimated. As long as he can unleash the power of the purple talisman, he can resolve the crisis at hand.
As he activated the purple talisman, he roared, "Let's do this together!"
This remark was undoubtedly directed at the sister, Xiangyin.
<<>>
Even if he were at his peak, let alone now when he's past his prime, under this kind of terrifying pressure, it's doubtful he could even exert 30% of his true strength.
The red-robed cultivator's eyes widened in disbelief. It was simply unimaginable how someone could possess such terrifying sanctity!
The sanctity of heaven compared to the feeling at this moment is like fireflies and the full moon competing for brilliance.
He already had some understanding of the matter from Xiangyin, and even personally inquired with two nearby cultivators, but what he heard was completely different from his own personal experience.
Some cognitions are impossible to imagine without firsthand experience.
Suddenly, the world went dark. When he lifted his head again, Lu Ye was right before him. A flash of blade light passed by, and the red-robed cultivator's vision flipped upside down before slowly fading to black.
<<>
Xiang Yin's face turned as white as paper, her eyes dimmed to the point of being almost invisible. Xuan Yu wasn't much better either. Both sisters knew that today was likely a day of peril and hardship.
When it comes to cultivation, both sisters surpass Lu Ye. However, the suppression of the Blood Race's sanctity is so unreasonable. They had already experienced this once before. Now facing Lu Ye, who had killed the crimson-robed cultivator, they didn't even have a sliver of rebellious thought.
Fortunately, Lu Ye didn't immediately strike them down.
He stared at Xiangyin, and said, "You gave me a map of this realm, with a specific area marked. You implied that I should go there to seek out the Crimson Talisman Society. Was it your intention all along to use them to kill me?"

Even saying that Xiang Yin was highly likely aware of Hong Fu's setup of many traps from Sheng Xue Feng in that area, Lu Ye would have been killed long before meeting Hu De Quan if he hadn't had a clone to respond and the Void Spirit Rune for teleportation.
On hearing this, Xuan Yu was startled and looked at Xiang Yin, clearly clueless about the matter. He couldn't understand why his sister would harbor such intense hostility towards a complete stranger.
"Yes," Xiangyin said in a dry voice.
Lu Ye nodded, agreeing with him.
He had never understood why Xiang Yin led him to that area before. He thought the other party was well-intentioned, but now it seemed otherwise.
After parting ways with Hu Dequan and the others, Lu Ye had some guesses and came back to find Xiangyin sisters. On the one hand, he didn't have anywhere else to go, on the other hand, he also wanted to verify some things.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have to come to Xuefeng's side at all.
<<>>
"Yes!" Kaori acknowledged once more.
"Do we have a grudge?" Lu Ye looked at her.
"There's no grudge, no animosity," Xiang Yin replied. She, who had been keeping her head bowed all along, suddenly raised it, locking eyes with Lu Ye, and said with a pursed mouth, "This is just a little girl's way of surviving!"
"Things have come to this. Any explanation or argument is useless. From Lu Ye's decisive and ruthless actions before, Xiang Yin knows that she cannot escape death today, so her expression has become much calmer. "I plotted against you, betrayed you, all I wanted was to live a better life, that's all!"
