Chapter 113: An Altar in a Lake

”We've rested enough,” said Meng Hao coolly ”Get up You walk in front”

Chu Yuyan said nothing Grinding her teeth, she struggled to her feet As she did, her clothes shi+fted, revealing more of her body Her face just now had been pale white, but was now cri Hao was even greater than that felt by wang Tengfei

But she had lost access to her Cultivation base, and was now just a tender woh he had started out as a scholar, the strength and toughness of his body were far beyond that of an ordinary Cultivator

Heas those Cultivators who focus on body training, but in terth, he was far from ordinary Otherwise, he would not have recovered consciousness so much more quickly than Chu Yuyan

She could only endure and comply with his de deeper and deeper Meng Hao naturally are of this He walked behind her, looking at her graceful figure The rips in her gare portions of the skin on her back

The reason he had Chu Yuyan walk in front, however, was because he still felt at danger in this place Chu Yuyan would act as a wind vane; she would be able to provide advance notice of any potential threat

TheyHao would change their course by pointing and giving new instructions Chu Yuyan had no choice other than to clench her jaw and co Hao had seeped into her bones Yet she could only obey hi time passed by, and it seemed as if soon they would have explored everywhere they could Everything was cliff face, with no exits

Strange rocks littered the landscape, as did the skeletons of various birds and beasts Was this place sorew more silent Chu Yuyan's mood slowly fell, until despair showed in her eyes

They followed the cliff face, eventually coe circle Soainst the cliff face for a while before continuing One day they reached an area that seee aht of a lake

The shores of the lake were piled with countless bones, many of which were human It was impossible to tell how ruesome, and also seemed to be filled with the stink of blood

In fact this lake, was a lake of blood

As Chu Yuyan approached the lake, the foran to ripple As soon as the tiny waves began to spread out, Meng Hao stopped

Chu Yuyan's face drained of blood, and her body began to quiver An intense sense of danger filled her, as if so at her

”Walk back slowly,” said Meng Hao softly He stood a bit further away from the lake ”Don't panic One step at a ti her lip, Chu Yuyan slowly an to roil, and a piercing shrieking sound could be heard co from within it Chu Yuyan moved backward as quickly as possible

Areen altar suddenly rose up from within the lake Waves swelled across the surface of the lake of blood Figures appeared from within the blood It was difficult to tell which were male and which were female, because they had no skin, only bloody flesh They carried the dark stone altar on their shoulders as it rose out of the lake

The altar was over one hundred fifty meters in diameter, and as it rose out of the surface of the lake, it elow On top of the altar was a throne reen stone the altar was for on the throne was a corpse A death aura wafted around it, and its face was covered with aHao's pupils constricted and he stood motionless Chu Yuyan stood there pale-faced, equally unwilling to h time passed to take about ten breaths, and then the stone altar slowly began to sink back down Once again, the bloody surface of the lake grew still, and everything returned to quietness

Meng Hao let out a long breath and walked backward slowly Chu Yuyan did the sa When the two of them had retreated about three hundred er in their hearts slowly faded

”What was that” said Chu Yuyan, the first words she had spoken voluntarily in days Her voice eak and hoarse

Meng Hao didn't reply Instead, he turned and walked off Chu Yuyan hesitated a moment, then followed silently They returned to the cliff face, to a place where earlier they had discovered a natural cave Inside, Meng Hao sat down cross-legged Chu Yuyan leaned back against the cave wall, her ars She stared blankly outside

She was a proud woman, but what had happened now, coupled with the suppression of her Cultivation base, the presence of the detestable Meng Hao, all of this, gradually filled her heart with pernicious despair Her only hope was that the Violet Fate Sect would somehow be able to track her down here

But this place was very strange, and apparently could suppress Cultivation bases Most likely, it also suppressed the brand of the Violet Fate Sect in her body, which would make it impossible for them to knohere she was

Her clothes were in tatters, and couldn't even cover her sufficiently More than half of her body was exposed, especially when she sat in this posture Als were visible

Tione, Meng Hao placed a rock into a s to his calculations, eight days had passed
