Devouring Soul Emperor

"What in the world happened in the Blood Sect ruins? Why is everyone inside fleeing? And what's the deal with those dark red people and Demon Beasts?"

Upon seeing Chu Qingyun and the other two, Qi Hao fired off a series of questions.

Chu Qingyun and Mu Xiaoxiao, in turn, were thrilled to run into Qi Hao. With a Martial King Level expert protecting them, escaping the Blood Sect ruins would be no problem at all.

"Qi, don't go in! It's extremely dangerous inside. A Martial Emperor Level dried corpse has awakened. We should get out of here first!"

Chu Qingyun said to Qi Hao in a grave voice.

Hearing "Martial Emperor Level," Qi Hao's pupils shrank, and his heart trembled.

Last night, he had seen three beams of light break through the seal and knew something was wrong. But the seal hadn't been completely broken back then, so those outside couldn't get a clear look at the beams.

"Alright, let's get out of here first."

Without hesitation, Qi Hao rushed out of the ruins with Chu Qingyun and his two companions.

The appearance of a Martial Emperor Level being proved that this matter was completely beyond his ability to handle.

Qi Hao was no fool; he had no interest in a suicide mission.

On the way out, Chu Qingyun glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao and Dai, then at Qi Hao. A plan began to form in his mind.

"Qi, is there a way to quickly contact the Sect from Blood Abyss City?" Chu Qingyun asked Qi Hao.

Qi Hao nodded. "Yes, there's a Sound Transmission Array that allows for quick communication with the Sect. However, it's not to be used unless it's for a particularly important matter. I was only given a chance to use it this time because of the discovery of the Blood Sect ruins."

Hearing this, Chu Qingyun's eyes lit up. "That's great! Qi, we must use the Array to notify the Sect about what's happened here as quickly as possible!"

He then turned to Mu Xiaoxiao and Dai. "Mu Xiaoxiao, once we're out of the ruins, we'll split up. You two shouldn't enter the city. Go straight to Celestial Martial City from outside Blood Abyss City. Qi and I will go into the city, and I'll fill him in on what happened in the ruins."

Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment but still nodded.

She understood that Chu Qingyun was doing this to look out for them.

Mutants and Mutated Demon Beasts had already burst out. One could only imagine how quickly they would spread to Blood Abyss City, which had a very dense population.

Therefore, under these circumstances, the safest option was to not enter the city and to get away from here as quickly as possible.

Mu Xiaoxiao knew that Chu Qingyun's strength had already surpassed hers and Dai's. Even if they stayed with him, they would probably just be a burden. It was better to leave first.

With Qi Hao's help, their pace quickened significantly.

In less than five minutes, the four of them rushed out of the Blood Sect ruins.

After leaving the ruins, Mu Xiaoxiao and Dai didn't linger, heading straight for Celestial Martial City. Meanwhile, Chu Qingyun and Qi Hao rushed toward Blood Abyss City.

Along the way, Chu Qingyun told Qi Hao everything he could about what happened in the Blood Sect ruins.

After hearing everything, Qi Hao was greatly surprised and exclaimed how lucky he had been.

It was a good thing he had run into Chu Qingyun right after entering the ruins. Otherwise, if he had charged in recklessly without knowing anything, even a Martial King Level expert like him would have likely suffered a terrible fate.

If he had been scratched or bitten, he probably would have been done for in there.

"Junior Brother Chu, this matter is of the utmost importance. I must report it to the Sect at the earliest possible moment!" Qi Hao said, his expression grave and his voice low.

By this point, they had already rushed into Blood Abyss City.

In the middle of the night, a small number of Mutants and Mutated Demon Beasts had already emerged from the ruins, chasing after the people fleeing from inside.

By now, some parts of Blood Abyss City were already beginning to be overrun by the mutated monsters.

People who were scratched, bitten, or had their blood drawn by a Mutant or Mutated Demon Beast would turn into new Mutants within just a few minutes.

So, by the time Chu Qingyun and Qi Hao returned to Blood Abyss City, the spread of the strange disease had already become somewhat uncontrollable in many parts of the city.

And Qi Hao, after casually obliterating two groups of Mutants and seeing even more people get infected, finally understood what Chu Qingyun had meant by "highly contagious."

He wasted no more time and sped toward the communication Array.

"Junior Brother Chu, Blood Abyss City is probably done for. It'll take time for me to activate the Array and explain the situation to the Sect."

"You don't need to wait for me. Head to Celestial Martial City first. With your strength, you should have no problem reaching it safely!"

Qi Hao said to Chu Qingyun, now that he understood the full scope of the situation.

Chu Qingyun nodded, bid farewell to Qi Hao, activated his Profound Celestial Divine Pattern, and rushed out of the city at top speed.

As for Qi Hao, he casually smashed through a wall, charged into a courtyard, and—in his frantic hurry—couldn't even be bothered to open the door, crashing his way through to contact the Sect.

Besides Qi Hao, many other Martial King Realm disciples from other sects near Blood Abyss City also began to understand what was happening. One after another, they rushed into Blood Abyss City to inform their respective sects.

After notifying their sects, Qi Hao and the other Martial King Realm experts took action within Blood Abyss City, attempting to turn the tide and resist the onslaught of the Mutants and Mutated Demon Beasts.

Meanwhile, in Blood Abyss City, the few Martial King Level experts who had originally been in Death Sealing because of the Sects' Forbidden King Order also rushed out.

With disaster looming, they could no longer care about any Forbidden King Order. They all took action, moving to exterminate the infected.

Qi Hao and the other Sect Disciples tacitly approved of this.

A great calamity had befallen the area around Blood Abyss City; this was no time to rigidly enforce the Forbidden King Order.

With more than a dozen Martial King Realm experts fighting together, they couldn't stop the masses from being infected, but they did eliminate a great number of Mutants and Mutated Demon Beasts.

Martial King Realm experts were simply far too powerful compared to those in the Martial Spirit Realm.

A casual strike from Qi Hao and the others could effortlessly suppress and annihilate all Mutants within a several-hundred-meter radius in a single move!

Moreover, with their heightened vigilance, the low-level Mutants had no way of harming them.

The dozen or so Martial King Realm experts gathered together, striking out repeatedly. Soon, they had completely cleared a large section of the city, slaughtering every last Mutant, leaving behind only some faint red, diamond-shaped crystals on the ground.

Those who had just been infected and mutated would not have these crystals in their bodies.

Only after they had been infected for some time, when their ordinary Primordial Power had turned into blood-colored Primordial Power, would these crystals form in their heads.

Although they didn't know what these things were used for, Qi Hao and the others still collected all the crystals, with each person gathering over a hundred.
