“All!”
The man screamed in agony and fell backward.
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Bai scratched and stomped on his face several times.
He swung his weapon and yelled, “What are you? Get away!”
Xiao Bai agilely dodged his blade, leaped into the air, and landed heavily on the man’s lower body.
“All!”
The man let out a piercing scream.
Footsteps approached rapidly.
Feng Tianlan flashed past, and in an instant, everyone was on the ground, unable to get up.
“Save me! Please, save me! I don’t want to die!”
In a nearby cell, a woman rushed between the pillars, her eyes bursting with dazzling light.
“Please save us!”
“Save us!”
Others also begged for help.
Gu Qingluan turned to Feng Tianlan and asked, “Are you staying to save them?” “There are definitely more enemies ahead, and I don’t feel comfortable leaving you alone. I’ll leave this place to Xiao Bai.”
Gu Qingluan rushed to rescue people without wasting any time, instructing Xiao Bai to stay behind and help the prisoners.
She retrieved a set of keys from the man whose face had been scratched by Xiao Bai and handed them over to Xiao Bai.
“After you release them, do your best to lead them away from the enemies. I’ll go rescue Xiaonan and Yuanxi.”
Xiao Bai squeaked twice.
He was determined to save his young master!
“Good, be sure to protect yourself.”
Gu Qingluan patted Xiao Bai’s head.
Then she had Bai Mengning lead the way.
Blood Pool.
The raging flames dyed the surroundings red.
Not far from the blood pool, there was a jade throne.
A fair and beautiful young woman leaned against the jade throne.
She was dressed in a black dress that tightly wrapped her entire body, even her neck.
At this moment, she stared at the flames above the blood pool with disbelief in her dark eyes.
“d.a.m.n it! Why is the blood pool on fire? Put it out for me quickly!”
Beside the jade throne, Bai Ronghuan’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. “Ancestral Granny, I… 1 can’t extinguish it.”
“How is it possible that you can’t extinguish it? What have you done?”
The woman questioned sharply.
An invisible pressure bore down on Bai Ronghuan.
His legs trembled, and he almost fell to the ground.
“I… I didn’t do anything.”
Smack!
The woman’s palm struck the jade armrest.
Crack!
The armrest instantly showed cracks.
“You dare lie to me! If you didn’t do anything, why is the blood pool on fire?”
A cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and Bai Ronghuan trembled, “I just followed your previous orders, threw two children into the blood pool, and then, the blood pool caught fire!”
The woman listened to this seemingly unbelievable statement, filled with incredulity.
“Do you know the consequences of lying to me?”
“Ancestral Granny, please calm down. Even if you gave me a thousand or ten thousand guts, 1 wouldn’t dare lie to you.” Bai Ronghuan hurriedly knelt down and begged for forgiveness.
The woman examined him for a moment, realizing that he probably wouldn’t dare to deceive her under the circ.u.mstances.
Right now, the most important thing was to put out the fire.
She glanced at him sideways. “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and find a way to put out the fire!”
Knowing that he had temporarily escaped a disaster, Bai Ronghuan breathed a sigh of relief, replied with a “yes,” and then got up from the ground to instruct people to put out the fire.
However, the contents in the blood pool were too precious, and he didn’t know how to extinguish the blaze without damaging the pool.
There weren’t many people in the underground palace to begin with, and they were at a loss when faced with the fire.
They had tried using arcane power to cut off the flames.
But those flames were extremely sinister.
The moment they came into contact with arcane power, they seemed as excited as wolves encountering sheep, swiftly devouring the arcane power and lunging toward them.
Several people had already been burnt to ashes.
The woman had just awakened from her slumber, and when she saw the situation with these people trying to put out the fire, her face turned even grimmer.
She called Bai Ronghuan back.
“Where are the two kids?”
Bai Ronghuan hesitated for a moment, then pointed at the blood pool. “They are in the blood pool.”
The woman squinted her eyes as she looked at the blood pool.
The dazzling flames covered the top of the blood pool, making it impossible to see inside.
“Ancestral Granny, what if we add some water to it? Perhaps that might extinguish the fire?” Bai Ronghuan cautiously suggested.
The woman immediately vetoed the idea without hesitation. “Adding water would destroy all the blood inside!”
Bai Ronghuan silently cursed in his heart. Now that they were on fire, the blood pool was likely to be ruined as well.
Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan rushed to the blood pool and smelled a strong scent of blood from a distance.
Both of them had serious expressions as they increased their pace to get there.
What they saw was a sea of flames.
Upon seeing this, Bai Mengning exclaimed, “How did the blood pool catch fire?”
The blood pool, which was highly valued by the Ancestral Granny, was actually on fire?
Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan completely ignored the state of the blood pool. They scanned the area but didn’t see their two sons. When they finally noticed the blood pool, their hearts sank slightly..
