Rise of the Demon God-Chapter 1466 1466: Bloodwater

　　Looking up, their gazes fell on the dark ceiling. Even after watching the ceiling, they remained confused as there was none there.

　　”Did you all hear someone speaking as well?” The young man in the middle asked, frowning.

　　”I did as well. It was as if someone was above us,” Another man replied. “What about you, Zhu Lei?”

　　”Zhu Lei?! Where did he go?”

　　Amongst the three youngsters, only two were left now. The third one seemed to have disappeared out of nowhere.

　　”Zhu Lei! Where are you?! Answer me!”

　　The two men called out for the young man again; however, they couldn’t find him. They received no response either. It was as if Zhu Lei was swallowed by the darkness.

　　”He… I feel like there’s something wrong. We shouldn’t stay here. We should get going and stay alert.”

　　”We can’t leave Zhu Lei behind. He was just here; we need to find him!”

　　”You think we can find him now? He wouldn’t have gone on his own. If he isn’t here, that just means that something happened to him. It could be a trap or something that got him. We risk ourselves if we stay here, so we need to leave now!”

　　”Come!” The man started walking ahead, keeping his eyes ahead. “You keep an eye on the back; I’ll protect the front. Understood?”

　　After taking a few steps, the man stopped. He could only hear his own footsteps and nothing more. It was as if no one was walking behind him.

　　He slowly turned back. “Why aren’t you coming? I told you, leave him, focus on yourself!”

　　”Hmm?” His jaws dropped slightly as soon as he turned back. The second man had also disappeared there, leaving him alone.

　　”He too? What is happening? Where did he go now?”

　　A dark figure appeared behind the man silently, not making even the tiniest noise.

　　”He went to a place from where he couldn’t come back. Don’t worry; you’ll be sent there as well,” the dark figure said, flashing a bright smile.

　　The young man didn’t look back, even after hearing that voice. His face twisted as he understood that there was someone here for sure. And it was that person who was behind the disappearance of his friends.

　　From the tone of the man, it was clear that he had killed his friends. He understood that if he turned, he was going to be killed as well.

　　”Won’t you look back at me?” The dark figure asked, cackling.

　　”Who says I won’t?” The young man finally responded as he swiftly turned back, but this time there was a sharp soul sword in his hand.

　　The sword came slicing with him, cutting even the winds in the process.

　　The swords reached the dark figure, who raised his hand to block the sword.

　　The figure caught the sharp edges of the man’s swords, blocking the sword mid-way.

　　”A Soul Weapon is good, but as you know, if you’re not strong, your soul weapon isn’t going to be strong either,” came the reply of the dark figure.

　　Taking a step back, the dark figure pulled the Sword of the young man and tossed it far away.

　　The Soul Weapon of the young boy flew away. The young boy tried to step back as he prepared to jump after the sword, only to be stopped once again as his neck was grabbed by the dark figure.

　　”Now, let’s get talking…”

　　…

　　One month later~

　　In an unknown place, a young blue-haired woman reached the river.

　　The crystal clear river was so clear that even the stones at the bottom of the river could be seen clearly.

　　She looked around her, making sure no one was here before she started taking off her clothes. She wrapped a thin piece of clothing around her body before she stepped inside the water.

　　”It feels so good.” She let out a sigh of comfort as she entered the water, submerging her entire body inside, leaving only the head out.

　　”Hmm?” She stopped suddenly as she noticed something strange. The water was so clear, but she felt a red droplet coming to her, following the flow of water.

　　At the start, it was only a single droplet of water which became multiple droplets of water soon after. The crystal clear water was covered in blood before the woman could realize it was.

　　The stark white towel of the woman had turned red because of all the blood that was floating around her.

　　The woman looked around in confusion as she started swimming towards the edge. She stepped out of the water, filled with confusion as to why the crystal clear water was certainly so dirty. Initially, she didn’t even realize that the red spots were blood.

　　Stepping out of the water, She observed the river as far as she could see and started wearing her clothes urgently.

　　Within seconds, the woman finished wearing her clothes and even dried her body entirely before she placed front entire focus on what really mattered: the origin of this blood.

　　”What is happening here? This is the first time I’m seeing something like this.”

　　Ten minutes passed, but she didn’t leave. The river became only more red with the flow.

　　”I must look for the origin of this. Where is this coming from? What happened.”

　　She started walking towards the origin of the river, trying to find the source of this blood.

　　Staying near the edge of the river, the woman soon reached a waterfall. The river water seemed to be coming from the top. The waterfall didn’t have that much blood, unlike what she saw before; however, she could still see some droplets of blood even here.

　　”It’s coming from the top, it seems.” She started climbing up the mountain, which didn’t appear hard for her in the least. She just spread her arms and jumped.

　　Jumping from stone to stone, she reached the top of the mountain in less than a few minutes.

　　The woman landed on the top of the mountain.

　　Even as she reached the top, she still couldn’t find the source of the blood as the river continued even longer.

　　She continued her journey, trying to find the origin of the blood.

　　”How long do I have to walk? I’m already getting tired. Just where exactly is the source of this?” She exclaimed, sighing.

　　Finally, after walking for two more hours, she stopped as she looked straight ahead. “It’s because of that…?”
