"Blood Robed Man?"
Chu Chen tiptoed, his eyes wide open, as his gaze floated over Chu Xin’s head, finally catching sight of the scene ahead.
They were in a larger blood-colored cave where shallow openings dotted the bloody stone walls surrounding the cave. At these openings sat cultivators cloaked in blood robes, their eyes tightly shut as strands of blood-colored energy rose from the flowing scarlet liquid beneath the ground and entered their bodies. Clearly, these Blood Robed Men were in the midst of cultivation.
"They are like the Blood Robed Men in Lang City, but their aura seems weaker," Chu Chen blinked his large eyes and asked in confusion, "Sis, there are so many Blood Robed Men here, did we accidentally run into their home?"
"We probably did."
Chu Xin nodded and then put her snow-white finger to her lips, whispering in a lower voice, "Keep it down, little brother, don’t let them hear us."
"What’s there to be afraid of? They’re even weaker than the ones in Lang City, they definitely can’t beat us," Chu Chen said carelessly.
Smack!
Chu Xin lightly slapped the top of Chu Chen’s head, her voice low and exasperated, "Idiot brother, we still don’t know if there are more and stronger Blood Robed Men around. What if you alarm them and attract other, more powerful Blood Robed Men? We should only fight after we’ve taken all their treasure, understood?"
"Got it, Sis."
Chu Chen rubbed his forehead and mumbled, "And you say keep it down, your slap was loud enough."
"What was that?"
Chu Xin’s eyes widened.
"Ah! Nothing, let’s hurry up and go before they discover us," Chu Chen quickly changed the subject.
"Hmm!"
Chu Xin nodded and then took out two talismans, affixing one each to herself and Chu Chen. Then their figures gradually became transparent until they vanished completely.
"Let’s go!"
Chu Xin raised her little feet, crouching as she tiptoed forward. After each step, she would stop, look around to make sure that the Blood Robed Men were undisturbed, then proceed with the next step.
Chu Chen followed behind, mimicking each of his sister’s movements with perfect precision.
Although they had stuck Invisibility Talismans on themselves, they were still only at the Holy Level, and it wasn’t certain if they could fool the Blood Robed Men, so they dared not make too much noise.
Luckily, the strength of these Blood Robed Men wasn’t that great, and they didn’t sense anything amiss, allowing the siblings to smoothly pass through this Blood Cave and enter a narrow, long, solitary passage once again.
After traversing this passage, they entered another Blood Cave.
Like the previous Blood Caves, there were many openings on the bloody walls of this cave, and at each opening sat a Blood Robed Man in cultivation. They absorbed the blood-colored energy at a faster rate, and the aura they emitted was also somewhat stronger.
"Walk quieter," Chu Xin looked back and cautioned softly once more.
"Got it, Sis," Chu Chen responded quietly.
Then, the two siblings proceeded to tiptoe forward, one after another, still not alarming any of the Blood Robed Men.
Thus, the brother and sister passed through one Blood Cave after another.
After crossing countless Blood Caves, the siblings arrived at one that was bigger than all the previous ones combined. At the center of this cave was a gigantic stone suspended in the air, like an enormously huge mountain peak inverted in the sky. Atop the giant stone stood a blood-colored palace.
Chu Chen looked at the blood-colored palace, his face full of excitement, "Wow! Sis, look, there’s a big palace there, there must be treasures inside."
"Shush! Keep it down," Chu Xin quickly covered Chu Chen’s mouth, her eyes falling on the Blood Robed Men sitting at the openings in the blood-colored stone walls.
Regrettably, it was already too late.
"Who’s there?"
Some of the Blood Robed Men suddenly opened their eyes, a fierce killing intent erupting, their bodies swirling with a cold and sinister blood-colored energy.
"Sister, they can’t see us, right?"
Chu Chen whispered.
"They should, can’t they?"
Chu Xin was also somewhat uncertain. After all, this was just a Holy Level Invisibility Talisman.
"Death to those who trespass into the Blood Demon Hall!"
At that moment, a Blood Robed Man bellowed, and with a wave of his blood robe, the flowing blood-colored liquid from beneath the ground rose up, transforming into a giant blood-colored dragon in the air, coiling towards the location where Chu Xin and Chu Chen were.
"Sister, he’s just trying to scare us, right? Just like how Dad used to pretend to find us and then trick us into coming out," Chu Chen whispered again.
"They are not Dad, where would they get the time to be so crafty. Silly little brother, we’ve really been discovered."
Chu Xin rolled her eyes, flicked her Sword Point, and a dazzling golden Sword Qi sliced through the air, extinguishing the blood-colored giant dragon.
"Oh!"
Chu Chen scratched his head, his gaze landing on the blood-colored hall above, excitedly said, "Sister, since we’ve been discovered, let’s go grab the treasures in that hall first."
"Okay!"
Chu Xin nodded, took out the Divine Coffin with a wave of her hand, and, pulling Chu Chen, jumped into it. Then, she steered the Divine Coffin directly towards the blood-colored hall.
"Seeking death!"
All the Blood Robed Men awoke from their cultivation and launched their attacks.
Ghastly and malevolent blood-colored energy gathered into various attacks, relentlessly bombarding the Divine Coffin, causing deafening booms.
Above the Divine Coffin, golden light twinkled, blocking all attacks from the outside, and its speed was not affected in the slightest.
"They can’t break through?"

The Blood Robed Men were stunned. Those who could cultivate around the Blood Demon Hall were all at the pseudo-Emperor Level.
Apart from not having undergone the Heavenly Tribulation to condense a Martial Emperor’s body, their cultivation was not much different from that of a Martial Emperor.
Yet, even so, their combined efforts could not damage the eerie coffin at all, which was outrageous.
Boom!
The Divine Coffin crashed into the prohibition of the Blood Demon Hall, making a thunderous noise, and the entire Blood Cave trembled violently.
"How dare you!"
Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m freewebnσvel.cøm.
Angry roars echoed from inside the Blood Demon Hall, and the next moment, ten figures soared into the sky and stood suspended in the air. They too wore Blood Robes, but their aura was even more terrifying.
"Greetings, Elders."
All the Blood Robed Men paid their respects to the ten figures.
The ten Great Elders of the Blood Demon Hall were all at the Martial Emperor Level.
"A coffin?"
The ten Great Elders had thought it was some of the Martial Emperors from the Jiuzhou Empire breaking in, but they did not expect to see only a coffin.
Hum!
As they were puzzled, golden energy surged from the top of the Divine Coffin, gathering into a large golden "Suppress" character.
The Divine Coffin vibrated, tore through the air, and struck the prohibition once more.
Crack!
Thin cracks appeared on the surface of the prohibition.
"Stop!"
The faces hidden under the Blood Robes of the ten Great Elders changed drastically. That was a Prohibition laid down by the Blood Demon Envoys and themselves. Even a Peak Martial Emperor would struggle to break it in a short period of time. To their shock, cracks had appeared from the impact of this mysterious coffin.
