Qin Chen soared forward, rapidly heading toward the Blood River ahead. Fei E respectfully walked in front of Qin Chen.
Seeing this scene, the Divine Phoenix Fairy and the others suddenly stiffened, feeling a bit anxious. They were all too aware of how terrifying the Blood River was. This Blood River was one of the most mysterious places in the Dark Ancestor Land. If encountered, it must be avoided at all costs. If one rashly ventured into it, they would surely be annihilated by the Blood River, leaving no trace behind.
Once, a king-level Heavenly Prodigy, accompanied by his heavenly venerable experts, attempted to take a shortcut when they saw a decomposing Blood Grave on the other side of the Blood River. As soon as they entered the Blood River, they were directly obliterated by the terrifying waters, their bodies turning to nothingness, dying on the spot.
Now, with Qin Chen and the others wanting to force their way into the Blood River, how could everyone not feel bitter and alarmed?
Although Qin Chen's strength was formidable and his status extraordinary, the Blood River was rumored to be a special forbidden area left behind by a top-tier expert in the Dark Ancestor Land, not something that these prodigies could easily trespass.
Let alone them, even the ancestors of their forces would not dare to recklessly enter, fearing to provoke the other party.
"My lord, perhaps we should reconsider," the Divine Phoenix Fairy hurriedly advised as Qin Chen and the others were about to enter the Blood River.
As they approached, terrifying blood halos suddenly erupted from within the Blood River, and a heart-stopping aura spread out.
The once calm Blood River seemed to awaken, releasing countless intense blood lights and emitting an ominous power.
"Boom!"
Blood lights surged forth, wanting to envelop Qin Chen and Fei E.
"It's over."
The Divine Phoenix Fairy and the others instantly turned pale.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Endless blood energy roared, and a thunderous sound resounded as the swirling waves of blood, akin to a boiling tsunami, directly wrapped around Fei E and Qin Chen.
As the Blood River served as the outer guard of Sikong Zhen's mobile palace, its power was injected periodically by Sikong Zhen himself. Its might was unimaginable; even a pinnacle heaven venerable would be injured if they rashly stepped in.
Seeking death… The thought flashed through the minds of the Divine Phoenix Fairy and the others just as their eyes widened in disbelief.
Faced with the approaching Blood River, Fei E extended his arms and pushed his palms gently to the sides.
In an instant, the Blood River stopped boiling and roaring; even the heart-stopping power and aura vanished completely.
"!?" The Divine Phoenix Fairy, the holy son of Tianhe, Huai Kong, and the others stared wide-eyed, their murmurs stuck in their throats, their hearts nearly stopping.
This was unbelievable.
"My lord, this Blood River is a protective restriction left by Lord Sikong. With the Blood River here, it signifies that Lord Sikong's mobile palace is nearby. My lord, please."
Fei E opened his arms, and the roaring Blood River suddenly fell silent, parting to create an invisible path as if welcoming him.
After doing all this, Fei E immediately bowed respectfully to Qin Chen.
"Interesting."
Qin Chen lifted his head and looked at the Blood River, stepping into it.
In an instant, Qin Chen felt an invisible force enveloping him, but because Fei E was present, this force did not harm him in the slightest.
"My lord, please."
Fei E raised his hand, indicating for Qin Chen to walk to the other end of the Blood River.
However, Qin Chen did not rush to act; instead, he reached out, plunging his hand into the Blood River.
"My lord, be careful." Fei E quickly said, "This Blood River is personally set up by Lord Sikong. The reason I can walk safely is because I am an inspector under Lord Sikong. The Blood River can sense the inspector's aura on me, which is why it does not attack me. But if you rashly touch the inside of the Blood River, I fear…"
