Chapter 708: The Red Lotus Appears

”Why do I find you familiar?” A man in dark red robes suddenly looked at Su Rou'Er with a frown.
Su Rou'Er's heart started to palpitate in fear. Even if this man in front of her had turned to ash, she would still recognize him. This fella was the manager of the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao Merchant House at Sharphorn Immortal Ruins - Fu Zhensong. Back then, her Senior Brother Bian and her were captured by this exact person. If Yi Lan didn't manage to obtain the help of Sect Head Mo, then she would have lost her life a long time ago.
She had been careful this entire time; she never expected that she would be recognised by this Fu Zhensong.
Naturally, Dou Hualong also recognised Fu Zhensong. His back was already drenched in sweat as he started to regret opening his mouth just now. Even though he knew that it was entirely out of coincidence that Fu Zhensong appeared here, he could not help but curse his luck.
”I remember now. You're that survivor from Tian Ji Sect. I caught you back then, I didn't think that I would see you again today, hahahaha…” Fu Zhensong chuckled.
Just at this instant, the crowd started to stir. Grand Emperor Jin Yu's speech had come to an end, and the fourth level was officially opened. At the very first instant, Su Rou'Er grabbed Dou Hualong and charged straight into the Broken World's fourth level.
Su Rou'Er had been in hiding for all these years; when compared to Fu Zhensong, she was much better at grasping the right moment. With so many people flooding into the fourth level, even if Fu Zhensong's guts were multiplied by a million, he also wouldn't dare to take out his magic treasure and do anything here. Seeing Su Rou'Er and Dou Hualong enter the Broken World, Fu Zhensong was infuriated and he sprinted in after them.
”Senior sister, what should we do?” The moment they entered the fourth level, Dou Hualong asked anxiously.
”Follow me.” Su Rou'Er's figure flashed as she found a direction to speed towards.
The entrance of the fourth level was filled with fog, and spiritual will was also dampened within that space. After Fu Zhensong rushed in, he found that his spiritual will had already lost track of Su Rou'Er's and Dou Hualong's trail. This left his heart pounding in anger. He definitely wasn't going to let these two people escape.
”Senior sister, the direction that we are moving seems to be in the direction where spiritual energy is weakest. Big brother said this before, usually when a secret domain opens, places brimming with immortal spiritual energy would be the places where there are treasures.” After moving for some time, Dou Hualong could not help but say.
He felt that the direction Su Rou'Er was travelling towards was gradually diminishing in spiritual energy. The surrounding immortal herbs looked to be bleached and of low quality; even he wasn't interested in taking them.
Su Rou'Er said seriously, ”Junior Brother Hualong, we're currently being pursued by that Fu Zhensong. He is a Grand Yi Immortal. Even if the two of us joined forces, we wouldn't be a match for him. The fourth level has just opened; everyone would be heading towards the places where spiritual energy is rich. If we go in the same direction, we would easily be noticed. Hence, we should move towards the direction where spiritual energy is weakest. There would definitely be few people who would come in this direction.”
”Senior sister is right. I am too inexperienced,” Dou Hualong said in admiration.
As the two continued moving, the immortal spiritual energy in the surroundings for weaker and weaker. A few days later, the two of them couldn't even find low tiered immortal herbs. That's when Su Rou'Er slowed down. ”For this short period of time, there shouldn't be anyone here. We will hide around here for a period of them. Thereafter, we will slowly move towards the places rich in immortal spiritual energy. Our abilities are limited; so we could only try to find what other's have miss out.”
Su Rou'Er also sighed. There were so many people that entered the Broken World's fourth level, but now they were aiming to pick up the treasures that others have left behind. That was simply too difficult.
Dou Hualong clenched his fists and said hatefully, ”No matter what, I must take revenge for big brother. Those shameless b*stards from Great Sword Path and Lightning Sect, they actually sent multiple Grand Emperors to attack big brother…”
When Dou Hualong got here, he suddenly paused. Immediately, he pointed in front of him and exclaimed in shock, ”Senior Sister, what's that?”
Not far away, there was a dried up lake in front. Right at the center of the lake, there was a floating red lotus. The lotus only had 11 petals and it was especially dazzling.
”Red Karmic Fire Lotus…” Su Rou'Er's voice quivered. She was sure that this was a Red Karmic Fire Lotus.
”Hurry, let's hurry and collect that Red Karmic Fire Lotus. If this thing ever gets revealed, the two of us wouldn't even be left with our bones.” Su Rou'Er's voice was trembling heavily. She never expected that she would actually encounter the Red Karmic Fire Lotus at a place where there wasn't spiritual energy at all.
”I know. It should be because the Red Karmic Fire Lotus has sucked away all the immortal spiritual energy in the surroundings. This is why the spiritual energy here is especially sparse.” Dou Hualong was also incomparably excited.
…
Mo Wuji stood on a spacious beach of shredded rocks. His eyes were filled with disappointment. He had left his spiritual will imprint here, but no matter how he tried to activate his transfer array talisman, he wasn't able to connect with the transfer array discs that he left outside.
From the looks of it, it was only a pipedream to use the transfer array discs to leave this place.
If he wanted to leave Sword Prison, he could only go to Sword Qi River.
Multiple days later, Mo Wuji came back to the edge of Sword Qi River. Ever since the Vine Mountain of Safety disappeared, there didn't seem to be a single person that came to collect water.
