Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

"This is it."

Zhou Yiqiao stopped and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Even without him saying anything, the two of them could already feel the strong and dangerous aura emanating from the cave.

"Let's go."

Li Mubai took the lead, stepped over Zhou Yiqiao, and entered the cave first.

The blood mist in the cave became lighter, and one could even see the stone walls and the ground inside.

At the end of the cave, a tall stone door appeared.

The stone gate is several meters long, about three meters high, and nearly twenty feet wide. The heavy stone gate exudes a sense of vicissitudes.

The stone door was engraved with strange runes. These runes seemed alive, emitting a faint blood-red light, echoing with the blood mist in the cave, giving people an ancient and mysterious feeling.

In the center of the door, a huge animal head statue opened its mouth ferociously, as if it was going to devour any life that dared to approach.

Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai stood in front of the stone gate. They could feel a strong sense of oppression coming from behind the stone gate, as if something was awakening behind the gate.

The two looked at each other and saw the vigilance and determination in each other's eyes.

"Behind this door is probably the mysterious existence that controls the Blood Refiner."

Zhou Yiqiao said in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity in his voice.

Li Mubai nodded. He had grasped a long sword in his hand without knowing when. A faint light was flowing on the sword. It was obvious that he was ready for the battle.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao took a few steps forward and carefully observed the runes on the stone door, trying to find clues to open it.

These runes were complex and ancient, and contained some unknown power. He secretly speculated that these might be the key to unlocking the secret of the stone gate.

"These runes seem to be an ancient sealing technique..."

Zhou Yiqiao pondered, his fingers lightly touching one of the runes. A weak energy wave passed through his fingertips into his body, making him frown.

This power was very magical, not painful, but it struck Zhou Yiqiao's mind directly, as if countless ancient voices were whispering in his ears, making him feel dizzy for a moment.

He quickly withdrew his hand, closed his eyes and concentrated, trying his best to calm the sudden impact.

"Brother Zhou, are you okay?"

Li Mubai saw Zhou Yiqiao's face suddenly turned pale and asked worriedly.

As soon as he finished his words, he heard a "click" sound. The stone door that was originally intact suddenly made a crisp sound, and the eyes of the animal head statue on the stone door lit up, and two blood-red rays of light shot directly at Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai.

Both of their bodies were instantly locked in the light, unable to move.

"Oh no, there is a ban on this door!"

The two were startled and immediately tried to break free from the light, but found that their own strength was like a drop in the ocean and was not shaken at all.

"Damn it, I spent all day hunting geese and finally got pecked by them. I didn't expect to end up like this!"

Li Mubai's face looked even uglier. He had many self-defense magic weapons left by his great-grandmaster, but at the moment he was completely unable to use them. He was in a completely embarrassing situation where he was unable to use his strength.

The runes on the stone door began to flash violently, and the entire cave began to shake, as if some powerful force was awakening.

The animal head statue rotated a circle, and the heavy stone door made a low roar. A powerful suction force sucked Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai into the door.

When their vision cleared again, they had arrived at a huge underground space.

The place was filled with bloody fog, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was almost suffocating.

In the center of the space, there was a huge pool of blood, and the blood in the pool was rolling like boiling water.

There are some strange magical instruments placed around the blood pool. These instruments are also engraved with runes and are emitting powerful spiritual fluctuations.

And above the pool of blood, a figure was floating quietly.

His body was wrapped in a thick layer of blood mist, leaving only a pair of blood-red eyes exposed, which revealed endless evil and madness.

"Welcome to my territory, little monk."

A low and hoarse voice echoed in the space. The voice was like a whisper from the underworld, carrying with it irresistible majesty and evil. It made Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai's hearts shudder and they stopped struggling involuntarily.

"Who are you? Why are you controlling these monks and refining them into blood refiners who have lost their souls?"

Zhou Yiqiao tried to remain calm and questioned.

His voice echoed in the empty underground space, but failed to arouse the slightest echo, as if it was swallowed up by the thick blood mist.

"who am I?"

The figure chuckled, and the blood mist fluctuated, as if even the laughter was bloody.

"I am a blood demon, born in chaos, raised in the underworld, I feed on blood and take pleasure in souls."

"This Blood Valley is just a paradise for me to find fresh blood and souls."

The Blood Demon's voice echoed in the cave, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai's hearts hard.

They felt their consciousness beginning to blur, as if they were about to be swallowed up by the magic of the voice.

"Haha, give up, become my blood demon's slave, and you will gain eternal life."

The blood demon's voice was full of temptation, and his eyes were filled with blood. The blood mist in the entire cave began to surge wildly, as if to completely submerge the consciousness of the two.

Li Mubai felt that his consciousness was gradually becoming blurred, and an unprecedented fear surged in his heart.

He tried hard to concentrate, but found that his resistance seemed so insignificant in the face of such powerful force.

Zhou Yiqiao's condition was not much better. Even though he was determined, the blood demon's bewitching was like an invisible poison, silently eroding their will and reason.

At this moment, the reincarnation monument in Zhou Yiqiao's body suddenly emitted a faint light, and a cool force surged out from his dantian and quickly spread throughout his body.

At the same time, the Changsheng Gate in the moonstone space in his body seemed to sense the danger and spontaneously emitted a mysterious power that calmed his mind.

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes suddenly regained clarity and his consciousness became clear again.

He turned his head and saw that Li Mubai was still struggling under the bewitching power of the Blood Demon. He knew that he had to take action as soon as possible to prevent Li Mubai from becoming one of those blood refiners.

An extremely sharp cold light flashed in Zhou Yiqiao's eyes, and the spiritual energy in his body surged wildly.

The Dusk Sword came alive at that moment. The light flowing on the sword was like a clear spring, washing away the blood mist around it and bringing a hint of vitality to this dead underground space.

A sword intent condensed from the invisible, like the unpredictable clouds in the sky, sometimes gentle as the wind, sometimes violent as thunder.

The ever-changing sword intent suddenly took shape!

At a certain moment, the sword intent suddenly erupted like a hidden storm, with a devastating force, pointing directly to the place where the blood demon was hiding.

The sword flashed, and the blood mist was split into two. The blood demon's originally blurry figure could not escape the sword light.

The Blood Demon was caught off guard by Zhou Yiqiao's sudden attack. He obviously did not expect that Zhou Yiqiao could resist his temptation and launch such a powerful attack.

"puff!"

The Blood Demon's body was hit by Zhou Yiqiao's sword intent, making a muffled sound.

His body shook violently, and the bloodshot in his eyes dimmed noticeably. He had been seriously injured.

Zhou Yiqiao succeeded in his attack, but he did not relax at all. He took a deep breath and circulated the spiritual power in his body to the extreme. The Dusk Sword emitted a dazzling light again and went straight towards the Blood Demon again.

"Buzz!"

The sword body trembled slightly, making a crisp sword sound.

This time the sword light was more condensed and sharper than before, like a white lightning, cutting through the blood-colored mist and directly hitting the blood demon's body.

A trace of panic flashed in the Blood Demon's eyes. He obviously did not expect that Zhou Yiqiao could launch such powerful attacks continuously.

His body moved quickly in the blood mist, trying to avoid the fatal blow.

However, Zhou Yiqiao's sword light seemed to have spirituality, locking tightly onto the Blood Demon's figure. No matter how he dodged, the sword light always followed him.

"boom!"

The sword light hit the blood demon again, and this time the power was even greater. The blood demon's body was torn into pieces under the impact of the sword light, turning into a ball of blood mist, and slowly dissipated in the air.

As the blood demon dissipated, the blood mist in the entire underground space began to gradually fade and eventually dissipated completely.

The originally blood-red space returned to its original color, and the bloody smell in the air gradually disappeared, replaced by a fresh breath.

The blood in the blood pool also stopped tumbling and gradually calmed down, as if everything had returned to normal.

The runes on the magic weapon no longer glowed, and the entire space became unusually quiet.

However, Li Mubai's situation was not optimistic.

Although the blood demon had dissipated, he was still in a coma and showed no signs of waking up.

Zhou Yiqiao walked quickly to Li Mubai and carefully checked his condition.

After an investigation, Zhou Yiqiao breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Mubai was in a state of confusion, his vital signs were stable and he had not suffered serious injuries.

He took out a pill from his storage bag and fed it into Li Mubai's mouth to help him regain consciousness.

After settling Li Mubai, Zhou Yiqiao walked towards the place where the Blood Demon disappeared, wanting to check the Blood Demon's body to confirm whether the other party was really dead.

However, when he walked to the place where the blood demon disappeared, he found a scene that shocked him.

The blood demon who was supposed to be dead turned out to be just a bat demon in the middle stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.

The bat demon's body was already badly shattered, obviously injured by Zhou Yiqiao's sword.

Zhou Yiqiao was full of doubts. How could this bat demon have such powerful strength that it could affect the entire Blood-sucking Valley and even control so many monks?

As if to answer Zhou Yiqiao's question, a scarlet light flickered in the gradually dissipating blood mist.

He looked up and saw a huge blood stone suspended in the air. The blood stone emitted powerful spiritual fluctuations. The scarlet light seemed to have some kind of magic that made it impossible to look away.
