Chapter 367 – If everyone is killed, then no one will oppose.
Ten basins of fresh blood, still warm, were splattered onto the bronze stone door.
There followed the Grand Priestess, who displayed a look of tension, her gaze fixated on the tall stone door.
Time passed second by second.
But even after a stick of incense burned down, the blood on the door was nearly congealed, and nothing happened like before.
The carvings on the door remained unresponsive, as if in a deep slumber.
Seeing this, Li Wu spoke up, “I’ll summon more fresh blood.”
Li Mo shook his head to stop her, “No need, this method won’t work.”
If it had any effect, there would have been a reaction as soon as the blood was poured.
But now, after so long, there was still no movement.
This could only indicate that this method was ineffective; even pouring more blood and soaking the bronze giant door again wouldn’t result in any change.
Fei Yan looked at the bronze giant door, observing it for a while before saying, “Perhaps it has something to do with the blood; Donghuang Taiyi’s blood is different from ordinary blood.”
Not just her, the Grand Priestess and Li Wu also noticed this earlier.
When Donghuang Taiyi was injured, the blood he shed was black, like ink, rather than the typical bright red of an ordinary person.
Li Mo pondered thoughtfully, “Donghuang Taiyi was once chosen by the Chiyou Evil Spirit; the blood within him could resonate with the Evil Spirit.”
As he spoke, he approached the bronze giant door, reaching out to touch its icy surface.
He continued, “This door was originally forged using the war demon gods fashioned by Chiyou and carries Chiyou’s aura, which is why it can receive Donghuang Taiyi’s blood.”
“Common blood does not possess such conditions; pouring more will be futile. We need to think of another way.”
At this point, Li Wu’s eyes brightened.
She stepped forward and came to his side, saying, “I was also once chosen by Chiyou; my blood might be useful.”
Just like Donghuang Taiyi, Bai Xianwu was the second body chosen after Donghuang Taiyi broke free from the Chiyou Evil Spirit.
In theory, this method should be feasible.
However, there was a prerequisite: this body was now Li Wu’s, not the lifeless Bai Xianwu.
At present, Li Wu was fully alive.
She had body heat and breath.
The body had already been completely occupied and altered in its state.
Therefore, her blood had become that of a normal living person.
After listening to Li Mo’s explanation, Li Wu couldn’t help but show a hint of regret.
At this moment, Li Mo asked, “How much gunpowder do we have left?”
Li Wu immediately replied without hesitation, “Less than ten percent.”
They had brought quite a bit of gunpowder with them initially.
But along the way, they encountered several powerful storms, and by the time they reached Loulan, they had lost fifty percent of it.
Some were also used for ambush just now.
Now, there was hardly any left.
Li Mo clasped his hands behind his back and pondered for a moment before asking, “Where does this stone door lead to?”
This question was naturally directed at the Grand Priestess.
She promptly responded, “To the Abyss, an unending abyss.”
Li Mo frowned and asked again, “What’s above the abyss?”
Any place, after all, has both a beginning and an end.
Since the entrance was blocked, and they didn’t know where the tail led to, there must surely be a location for the head, right?
However, the Grand Priestess showed a bitter expression and shook her head, saying, “Inside, it’s like another world; we have no idea where it was excavated from.”
Initially, Li Mo thought that he would find it hard to understand.
But to his surprise, he realized the truth right after she finished speaking.
This wasn’t the first time he had heard of a separate world.
During the theft of the Reverse Scale Sword in Han State, the sword spirit had turned that attic into a separate small world.
In there, time and space differed from the outside.
“So it seems, it’s impossible to dig in from above,”
Li Mo sighed and shook his head, abandoning that idea.
Seeing this, Fei Yan stepped forward to comfort him, saying, “Husband, there’s no need to be anxious; there will surely be a way. Let’s head up and rest for the night.”
She carefully arranged Li Mo’s messy hair, her jade fingers brushing across his face, wiping off the dust that had smeared his cheek.
Li Mo was fine himself; he hadn’t been injured in his recent encounter with Donghuang Taiyi.
But they had been rushing without a break to get here, and even if he didn’t need rest, Fei Yan and the others did.
He knew even more that if he didn’t go up, Fei Yan would definitely not leave him to rest alone.
She was just that kind-hearted yet stubborn.
“Station troops to guard the cave entrance. Once there’s any unusual movement, report directly to me.”
The group arrived on the ground, and Li Mo personally issued orders to everyone.
This included the Qin soldiers, members of Luo Network, and all from Liu Sha.
Here, only he could command these three different factions on his own.
Quickly, the well-trained troops of the three forces formed a tight encirclement around the cave entrance.
The people from Loulan immediately changed their expressions upon seeing this.
They shouted, “The temple is our Loulan’s forbidden ground; outsiders are not allowed to enter!”
The Moon Goddess and Fei Yan chose to ignore the noise from these people.
Wei Zhuang and Tian Ze would not be so lenient with them.
Tian Ze surveyed the ruins around him and sneered, saying, “Temple? Where’s the temple?”
The once grand Loulan Temple had long been turned into ruins during the battle, and now, as he looked around, it was all an eyesore.
Hearing his taunts, the citizens of Loulan immediately bristled.
They rebuked, “Isn’t it because of you Central Plains people that our temple was destroyed? You have defiled the divine, and the Mysterious Lady will punish you!”
“You brought disaster to Loulan!”
“That’s right! It’s because of your arrival that our Loulan has become like this. You’re not welcome here!”
Before he could finish speaking, a cold long sword was already pressed against his throat.
People around gasped in surprise: “What do you want to do?”
“Put down the sword!”
Wei Zhuang held his sword with one hand, standing immovable.
With no emotion, he said, “If I kill you all, no one will oppose.”
This method was simple and crude, yet highly efficient!
