Chapter 3114 - Deadly Blood Path

The blood path was in a very concealed location hidden deep within the Darkfiend Den. Without someone to lead the way, it would be impossible to find it among so many caves.

The cultivators from Bluemaple Swordvalley pointed toward the blood path. "Here’s the entrance."

"Got it!" Tianming only wanted to remember the location. Hearing that the blood path was so dangerous, he certainly didn't want to go in himself. However, he could let Yin Chen go in and explore. After all, it wouldn't die.

"You wait here for me," Tianming said, then headed toward the blood-red cave.

"Sir!" Yue Lanfeng called out, "Can you please listen to my advice? Please don't go in, it's really dangerous!" They had been the guides and if anything happened to the Myriadpath Valley disciple, they couldn't bear the consequences when Myriadpath Valley investigated.

"I didn't say I'm going in. I'm just going to take a look." Tianming smiled.

"That's good then." Yue Lanfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Tianming stood at the entrance. The cave was much quieter than the others, with no sound of wind or darkfiend roars. However, the bloody smell was even more intense, assaulting his senses.

"Soul power!" Tianming could acutely feel it, as the Skysoul Tower in his head was quite sensitive. It trembled slightly, as if warning him.

"It feels a little terrifying." He stood on the blood-red inner floor. In his lifebound space, a large number of Yin Chens turned into invisible cockroaches that swarmed out and headed toward the blood-red cave.

Just as Yin Chen came out and hadn't gone far inside, it informed Tianming, "People here!"

"People?" Tianming raised his head and looked into the blood-red cave. The next moment, four figures rushed out from the blood mist, directly facing him.

"It's you all?" Tianming was slightly startled. The people who came out of the blood-red cave were Cang Jue, Mo Guhe, Sun Xiaoyue, and Jiang Xiu'er.

When they’d separated earlier, Tianming had some Yin Chen follow them. However, Yin Chen wasn't skilled at tracking, and its coverage wasn't vast enough, so it lost track of them. But he didn't expect them to know about this blood path and to come out at this moment.

"You shameless asshole, were you following us?" Jiang Xiu'er saw him and instantly felt a surge of anger. She wrapped her clothes tight around her and shrank behind Cang Jue and Sun Xiaoyue.

"Still being insolent? Didn't I teach you enough of a lesson last time?" Tianming coldly said.

Sun Xiaoyue had been getting more and more annoyed during the recent period of time. However, when he really encountered Tianming, he could only grit his teeth and endure it. He said to Jiang Xiu'er, "Don't bother arguing with trash like him. He'll be destroyed by House Huang sooner or later. Just treat him as a dead man."

"Fine! You're such a coward, you must be afraid of him," Jiang Xiu'er irritably said.

"You!" Sun Xiaoyue was furious. "He's fast, I'm afraid that lunatic will really kill you!"

"I don't care. Anyway, I'm being bullied, and it's your incompetence," Jiang Xiu'er coldly said.

"Stop arguing." Cang Jue stepped forward, and Jiang Xiu'er finally gave some face. "Yes, Brother Cang Jue."

Tianming hadn't said anything yet and the couple was already arguing again. However, he really didn't want to associate with that group of people and said, "Just get lost, you all are really annoying!"

"You!" Jiang Xiu'er's chest heaved with anger, gnashing her teeth.

Cang Jue said, "Li Tianming, why were you following us? We’re all disciples of Myriadpath Valley carrying out tasks here. There were some conflicts before, but they’ve been resolved. There's no need to make things difficult for each other."

"Who was following you?" Tianming was really annoyed with them. He was just laying his 'eggs' here!

"You could find this blood path and you say you weren't following us? Heh." Jiang Xiu'er didn't believe it.

Just then, both she and Sun Xiaoyue saw Jian Qinghe and the other Bluemaple Swordvalley cultivators not far away.

"This shows that Li Tianming didn't really follow us but was brought here by people from Bluemaple," Cang Jue said.

"Oh!" Jiang Xiu'er pursed her lips. There was no way she would admit that she was wrong.

"Jiang Xiu'er." Mo Guhe lightly nudged her, suggesting something with her eyes. It made Jiang Xiu'er's eyes light up. "Brother Cang Jue, we didn't dare to go deep just now, but now we have a guide. Why not let them lead the way and continue deeper?"

"Right!" Sun Xiaoyue nodded and said, "As expected of my clever wifey!"

"Fine." Cang Jue glanced at Tianming. He didn't know what that guy was doing here, nor did he care. He led the other three toward Yue Lanfeng's group.

Yue Lanfeng was shocked to see four more disciples of Myriadpath Valley, and two of them were gold ring disciples. The golden brilliance of the myriadpath ring signified a higher status, and they were even more untouchable.

"I, Yue Lanfeng from Bluemaple Swordvalley, along with my fellow junior brothers and sisters from Bluemaple Swordvalley, pay respects to the esteemed disciples of Myriadpath Valley!"

As a tenth-level cosmic cartographer, Yue Lanfeng naturally knew that Cang Jue was the strongest member of his group. He might not be a match for Cang Jue. Of course, even if he were stronger than them, he would still have to kneel and show the utmost respect.

"Mm." Cang Jue nodded, his gaze indifferent, and said, "I'll be using you."

His tone and attitude were completely different from Tianming's. This was the Myriadpath Valley disciple they remembered—domineering, arrogant, and even... disregarding human life.

Using them? The words carried a sense of oppression.

However, Yue Lanfeng could only bow his head and nod along with the other sword cultivators. "Yes! It's our honor to serve the esteemed disciples of Myriadpath Valley."

"Just behave yourselves!" Jiang Xiu'er took over, gesturing and ordering, "When we enter the blood path later, you’ll lead the way. If anything seems wrong, report it immediately. Understood?"

"Enter the blood path?" Yue Lanfeng was startled, and the other Bluemaple Swordvalley cultivators frowned, their faces turning pale.

Yue Lanfeng hurriedly said, "Esteemed disciples, forgive my directness. Although the blood path has few darkfiends, it's extremely dangerous! Not even foundationeers dare to go deep! Many people who enter, even if they only go a short distance, come out with brain damage, becoming idiots!"

Sun Xiaoyue sneered, "Is that a scare tactic you Bluemaple people made up? Why do I hear that some people who went in actually didn't become idiots but instead grew in strength, directly breaking through?"

Yue Lanfeng bitterly smiled. "Esteemed disciple, that's just a rumor. I didn't expect it to spread to Myriadpath Valley. It’s caused tens of thousands of people to lose their lives by entering this blood path. At least on Bluemaple, there hasn't been a single person whose order has gained strength from the blood path."
