Ch. 956 - Inside The Blood Rune Space

Hearing the words of the Lord of Destruction, Xu Zimo did not deny it and simply nodded.

This was his purpose for coming to the Land of Destruction.

"You should already know the general situation. The Blood Rune Space cannot be opened easily," said the Lord of Destruction. "First, because if the seal is opened, there is the risk that Blood Rune Beasts will take the chance to escape. Second, it would damage the natural completeness of the Sealing Domain."

"Is the City Lord here to persuade me otherwise?" Xu Zimo asked with a smile.

"Not at all," the Lord of Destruction shook his head slightly. "I know you must go in and see for yourself, so I thought of a method for you."

"What method?" Xu Zimo asked.

"Devouring," the Lord of Destruction replied. "Let the Sealing Domain devour and assimilate you inside. That way, the seal’s natural state will be preserved to the greatest extent, and you can still enter."

Seeing the Lord of Destruction hesitate slightly after saying this, Xu Zimo said, "Continue."

"It's just that there’s a drawback," the Lord of Destruction said thoughtfully. "You can go in, but you cannot come out. You’ll have to find your own way back."

"No problem," Xu Zimo nodded, agreeing without any hesitation.

"Just don’t go destroying the Blood Rune Space for me," the Lord of Destruction reminded.

Xu Zimo smiled but did not answer that.

In truth, whether the Blood Rune Space survived or not meant nothing to him. But since the Lord of Destruction was helping him enter, he naturally would try not to damage it unnecessarily.

"Let’s go to Mountain City first," said the Lord of Destruction.

That was where he lived. Ji Ruobing had also guessed before that the seal of the Blood Rune Space should be there.

The group left the Lion Mansion. At first, the Lord of Destruction still bore the appearance of the steward Red Lion, but as they stepped outside, his features began to change.

A square face, stern features, hair neatly combed without a strand out of place.

A tall, sharp nose bridge, and most of all, his eyes, carrying a strong oppressive aura. His presence naturally radiated the air of one in authority.

As they walked into the northern city district, midway along the road, Xu Zimo saw a woman directly ahead.

Miss Jing.

She seemed to have changed her look again today.

Her long gown was a translucent blue, like seawater, layered in a flowing, glass-like design.

The azure dress perfectly outlined her slender waist, leaving nothing to the imagination.

She wore light makeup today, just enough to be fitting.

Her eyes were lively, her long hair braided into many small strands, with a few soft wisps dancing by her temples in the breeze.

On her fair earlobes hung a pair of pale blue, amber-like earrings.

Right now she was smiling as she looked at the approaching group.

The Lord of Destruction paused slightly, then greeted respectfully, "Lady Jing."

It was clear he held this Lady Jing in high regard.

"I’m here to see him," Lady Jing said, pointing at Xu Zimo.

"Then you two talk, we’ll wait over here," the Lord of Destruction said with a casual smile.

At the side, Ji Ruobing shot Lady Jing a sharp glare before stepping away as well.

"Do you need something?" Xu Zimo asked, sounding rather weary.

"Young Master, it’s been a few days. Did you miss me?" Lady Jing smiled.

"Didn’t we just see each other the day before yesterday?" Xu Zimo replied flatly.

"In your words, isn’t it ‘a day apart feels like three autumns’?" Lady Jing laughed.

"If you have something to say, then say it," Xu Zimo said impatiently.

"You heartless man. I know you’re going into the Blood Rune Space, so I came especially to warn you," Lady Jing said, giving Xu Zimo a reproachful glance.

Her tone was full of charm.

Like a lotus in full bloom, her expression was just right, any ordinary man would already be lost in her allure.

"What warning?" Xu Zimo asked. "Your information network is truly impressive."

He had killed those three Blood Rune Beasts and had only just finished speaking with the Lord of Destruction, yet this woman was already waiting for him, knowingly or not. Such a channel of information was striking. Unless the Lord of Destruction had told her beforehand, Xu Zimo found it hard to imagine otherwise.

"Because I care about you, I naturally pay more attention," Lady Jing said. "I know the inside of the Blood Rune Space. Do you want to hear?"

"You know?" Xu Zimo asked, surprised. "You’ve been inside the Blood Rune Space?"

"Anyway, just answer me, do you want to hear or not?" Lady Jing smiled, and her smile was beautiful.

"Yes," Xu Zimo nodded.

"Then give me a kiss, and I’ll tell you," Lady Jing said, closing her eyes slightly.

Her eyelashes trembled lightly, her cheeks tinged with blush, pale skin flushed pink, her lips like little cherries.

Her delicate brows arched softly.

"Seriously?" Xu Zimo shook his head, turned, and walked away.

"Hey, you!" Lady Jing quickly grabbed his arm, helplessly saying, "You really are my destined nemesis. Fine, I’ll just tell you. The Blood Rune Space was left behind by the Holy Progenitor. Inside, aside from Blood Rune Beasts, there is also the Ancient Celestial Court."

"You know of the Ancient Celestial Court?" Xu Zimo asked in surprise.

"Listen first. The Ancient Celestial Court is surrounded by formations, so the Blood Rune Beasts can’t get near. For you, the formation isn’t much of an obstacle, but inside the Celestial Court, there are two guardian divine beasts." Lady Jing continued, "Their strength is great, at least at half-step Nirvana Void. And among the Blood Rune Beasts, there should also be some at half-step Nirvana Void, perhaps even true Nirvana Void."

Hearing this, Xu Zimo pondered for a moment.

No matter what, he would have to try.

"Thank you, Lady Jing," Xu Zimo nodded.

Whatever her motives, she had at least genuinely helped him.

"Just call me Jing’er," Lady Jing said with a shy glance.

"That act of yours works well on those who think with their third leg. I’m not the type," Xu Zimo shook his head.

Watching his departing back, Lady Jing bit her lip, stamping her foot a few times in frustration.

……

When Xu Zimo returned, the Lord of Destruction smiled and said, "Holy Son Xu seems quite close with Lady Jing."

"Just acquaintances," Xu Zimo shook his head.

"There’s no harm in befriending her," the Lord of Destruction said with a smile. "In this world, there’s little she doesn’t know. I once sought her out over the matter of the Blood Rune Beasts, but my efforts were clumsy compared to yours."

Xu Zimo replied half-heartedly, not wanting to engage further.

He truly wasn’t close with her.

Yet she always acted so intimate.

Mountain City, the inner city where the Lord of Destruction resided.

From the outside, it looked like a towering, majestic mountain, hence its name.

The surroundings of Mountain City were heavily guarded, full of patrolling soldiers in armor, not daring to relax for even a moment.

Following the Lord of Destruction, they entered Mountain City.
