Red Heart Patrols the Sky
Chapter 2461 - 91: No Second Door
Jiang Wang remembered this dialogue in his heart.
It was during the battle against Evil Observation, one of the many dialogues he had with Xu Ximing.
"They are here for revenge."
"Revenge?"
"Because we created them—greed, desire, sin, war, killing..."
For some reason, he recalled this conversation as he stepped through the Door of Mortal World.
The Door of Mortal World, leading to the human world.
Although the Door of Mortal World forms a world of its own internally, it is just an expanse without any existence within it.
Passing swiftly through with Si Yu’an’s sword light, he already crossed the Door of Mortal World.
What appeared before Jiang Wang was a huge circular plaza, entirely paved with red bricks. Although it was inside the Bitter Sea Cliff, it was not dark.
The heavenly light seemed to come from the special array patterns in the dome, naturally hanging down, as bright as outside.
Previously, when he arrived at Saint Water, he was brought by Si Yu’an’s whistling sword light, without properly passing through the Door of Mortal World.
So it was the first time Jiang Wang saw this place.
The dense array patterns on the floor tiles suggested the complexity of this plaza.
The subtle fluctuations of power were already awe-inspiring to Jiang Wang, and this was only the part he could perceive.
In places he couldn’t detect, who knows how many methods are hidden. The Blood River Sect’s accumulation of over fifty thousand years definitely prepared many measures at the exit of the Door of Mortal World—perhaps reflecting one or two through Astray Path’s warnings of danger. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Of course, due to the special nature of the Door of Mortal World, all major forces of the world might send people through it... Therefore, all measures here are clear to major forces.
Simply put, the Blood River Sect couldn’t use the methods here at the Door of Mortal World to threaten the strong ones of other top forces. They could only use it against Evil Sea.
Currently, in this plaza, teams of Blood River Sect disciples were already assembled, seemingly ready to join the battle in Evil Sea at any time.
Most of the cultivators among them were unlikely to defeat even a single ordinary Evil Observation. Yet their aggregated power was efficient enough to cleanse Saint Water.
The head of Twilight Drum Academy, Chen Pu, the Geometer Palace Master Wu Bingyi, the Sword Pavilion Master Si Yu’an, top figures of the present world had not left.
All were stationed here.
But True Monarch Xuehe Huo Shiji could never return.
The only information the Blood River Sect disciples could see about their strong figure was a blood vessel, with the unconscious Peng Chongjian lying on it.
The second most pivotal figure in the Blood River Sect, True Man of Moving Mountains Peng Chongjian, had become like this!
Where is the Sect Master?
Some perceptive Blood River Sect disciples might already suspect something, with faces turning grim.
Right at this moment, a young man, very youthful in appearance, wearing Star Map Robe, strolled onto the plaza. His eyes were calm yet vast, and the Moyu hairpin slanted into his hair bun gave this plaza a touch of the cool feeling of a summer night street.
It soothed Jiang Wang’s restless anxiety a bit.
The Qintian Monitor of the Great Qi Empire, Ruan Qin, was finally here!
Upon seeing this scene, he vaguely guessed something and exchanged a glance with Jiang Wang, with his expression suddenly not looking great, but quickly composing himself.
He didn’t say much but slightly nodded to Si Yu’an: "Many thanks to Pavilion Lord Si for taking care of our Marquis Wu An."
"How dare I." Si Yu’an said indifferently: "Should the ones sent by Qintian Monitor have any mishaps, I fear Heavenly Eye Peak might not last two or three months."
"I still need to declare what should be declared." Ruan Qin stated seriously: "Some words were not taught by me."
Jiang Wang: ...
He was tempted to step back behind Ruan Qin, yet felt that place might not be safe either.
What kind of people are these!
Fortunately, throughout the journey, Si Yu’an had been tapping it well, merely giving a cold snort: "Quite fast you’ve arrived."
Ruan Qin seemingly surveyed the place, took two slow steps, and said: "I can’t be blamed. Receiving news takes time, arranging relative affairs takes time. If you ask me, it’s time for the Sword Pavilion and our Nanxia Governor’s Mansion to establish a long-distance communication channel, thus not delaying important matters. Pavilion Master Si, what do you think? Of course, the Blood River Sect needs to as well..."
He glanced around: "Who can take charge here at the Blood River Sect now?"
Si Yu’an gestured towards the blood vessel with his mouth: "Once he wakes, it’s settled."
He didn’t directly refuse Ruan Qin’s suggestion about establishing a long-distance communication channel between the two sides; it could all be discussed gradually later.
Watching the interaction between these two figures now, Jiang Wang really felt it was relaxed and pleasant, not the anticipated tense and aggressive situation.
He vaguely understood the significance of him visiting Sword Pavilion to ask for guidance.
Because the tense part was already completed when he went to Heavenly Eye Peak.
Ruan Qin followed the gaze towards the still comatose Peng Chongjian on the blood vessel.
Standing beside the blood vessel, Chen Pu spoke first: "With Sect Master Huo sacrificing his origins for protection, True Man of Moving Mountains won’t die, just need to recover for three or five years."
Jiang Wang thought, this Chen Pu, the head of Twilight Drum Academy, had started echoing Huo Shiji’s last words, caring for the Blood River Sect.
First preventing Qi Country’s Ruan Qin from probing Peng Chongjian’s body again, avoiding any secret measures or hindrance to Peng Chongjian’s injury.
Though now he’s a People of Qi, naturally standing on the People of Qi’s side. The Blood River Sect supports Liang Country, one of the Major Sects worldwide, also the largest obstacle for the Nanxia Governor’s Mansion in taking over Jin’an County. His stance is very clear.
