"Don't come down!" Su Xuan urgently shouted a warning.

The Blood Immortal Vines not only emitted a strange fragrance but also scattered dazzling lights and shadows. This combination generated an extremely terrifying power that could directly bewitch a person's mind.

Even though I have a strong will and my Mind Control Technique is at the maximum level, when I first saw these Blood Immortal Vines, I couldn't resist for a moment. An endless greed filled my heart, making me want to claim all of them for myself! And I'm a Longevity Realm Expert! If those Trialists up there come down, they will inevitably succumb to the temptation, and the consequences will be unimaginable!

"There are so many Blood Immortal Vines down here!"

"Those Blood Immortal Vines are clearly top-quality!"

"Everyone, get them!"

But Su Xuan's warning came too late. With greedy gleams in their eyes, people began jumping down one after another, the scene akin to dumplings being dropped into a pot.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of people had jumped from the pit walls to the bottom, where they began recklessly picking the obviously problematic Blood Immortal Vines.

Even worse, some didn't bother to descend slowly, instead leaping straight from midair to the bottom of the pit. Amidst the sound of snapping bones, they collapsed to the ground. But even that couldn't stop their greed; they crawled on the ground with their hands, desperately reaching out to pick the Blood Immortal Vines.

"These Blood Immortal Vines are mine! They're all mine!"

"Get the hell away from me! Don't you dare steal my Blood Immortal Vines!"

"Die! Die! Die!"

More terrifyingly, a brutal battle for possession had begun. To occupy as many Blood Immortal Vines as possible, the crowd started to fight savagely, and soon, the pit's floor was soaked in blood.

During the battle, they completely disregarded the consequences, even willing to trade life for life if needed.

One man faced an approaching broadsword without dodging, letting the blade chop into his shoulder before he stabbed the attacker's belly with his own sword.

Others directly used spiritual techniques to ignite themselves, intending to take their attackers down with them.

There were also those who continuously detonated poison pills, spreading toxic mist around themselves and causing more people to fall within it.

"My Blood Immortal Vine!"

"It's my Blood Immortal Vine!"

Someone clutched a Blood Immortal Vine as if holding a bride about to enter the nuptial chamber, the greed in their eyes reaching an absolute extreme.

SMACK!

Su Xuan slapped away a Trialist charging at him, his brow furrowed deeply.

This scene is too horrifying. Is it possible the Yu Xian Sect is unaware of this? They seem to ask for nothing in return for hosting such a trial. Why? Could this be a trap?

Suddenly, Su Xuan poured his cultivation power into his eyes and stared intently at the ground. His heart skipped a beat.

He saw that the ground was covered in a network of vein-like conduits, spreading and intertwining. They pulsed as if something were flowing inside them. The entire floor of the pit seemed to have a life of its own—it was alive!

The Trialists' blood, spilling onto the pit floor, was swiftly absorbed by these conduits, causing them to pulsate even more frequently.

If these conduits are part of a grand array, then the blood of the Trialists is nourishing it! Did the Yu Xian Sect create this? And the rule forbidding Longevity Realm Experts from entering... was it to prevent them from resisting this terrifying array and destroying it? If that's the case, the Yu Xian Sect is definitely not a righteous sect!

Su Xuan couldn't figure out what was happening, nor did he want to anymore. The Blood Immortal Vine was already in his possession. He bent his knees and leaped into the air, latching onto the higher part of the pit wall, clearly intending to escape.

"You, Wu! Get the hell out of my way!"

"Don't even think about stealing my Blood Immortal Vine!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice made Su Xuan freeze. He saw Zhu Hongyun struggling with Wu Bo over a Blood Immortal Vine.

"Zhu Hongyun, I was just living under your roof back then!" Wu Bo snarled. "I'm not afraid anymore! Move aside or I'll kill you! You piece of trash, I've had it with you for a long time!"

Wu Bo, showing no regard for Zhu Hongyun being his master, kicked him away and hugged the Blood Immortal Vine to his chest.

Su Xuan's lips twitched as he leaped back down from the pit wall.

At first, I truly saw these two as mere tools. How could I not have seen their disloyalty? But later, they sincerely became my followers. I can't just stand by now!

"Old Wu, snap out of it!"

Appearing beside Wu Bo, Su Xuan clapped him hard on the shoulder and shouted sternly, "There's something wrong with these Blood Immortal Vines! Throw it away, quickly!"

"Mind your own business!" Wu Bo retorted, completely ignoring Su Xuan's warning. "Are you trying to steal my Blood Immortal Vine?" He even swung his fist toward Su Xuan's chest.

But before his fist could connect, he was slapped hard across the face.

Wu Bo's body was sent flying, flipping a full rotation in the air before crashing heavily to the ground. The impact seemed to clear his head for a second. He looked at Su Xuan and gasped, "Boss, save me!"

But it was only a moment of clarity. Soon, Wu Bo leaped up from the ground and lunged at Su Xuan, baring his teeth and claws.

"Mind Control Technique!"

Su Xuan sidestepped, kicked Wu Bo's knee to force him to the ground, then pressed a finger to Wu Bo's forehead. He executed the technique to manipulate a person's mind and spirit. This time, however, he encountered a powerful spiritual resistance emanating from the depths of Wu Bo's soul. But fortunately, he succeeded.

Wu Bo opened his mouth and said to Su Xuan, "Master..."

"Take Zhu Hongyun and get out of here!" Su Xuan commanded, then dashed off in another direction.

His roommate, Min Chun, was there.

Min Chun had been lucky. Because of a previous leg injury, he had trouble moving and had only just slid down the pit wall. But the moment he reached the bottom, he too began to greedily and frantically scramble for the Blood Immortal Vines, completely out of control.

THUMP!

Su Xuan punched away a Trialist who was swinging a knife at Min Chun and pressed his finger onto Min Chun's forehead. "Follow Old Wu and get out of here!"

Min Chun blinked and replied, "As you command!"

Meanwhile, Wu Bo had forcibly hauled Zhu Hongyun onto his shoulders and began to quickly climb the pit wall.

It looks like few of these people will make it out alive.

Glancing at the chaos below, Su Xuan leaped up, intending to leave as fast as he could. But something unexpected happened.

A blood-red tentacle suddenly burst from the earth, wrapping around his ankle as if to keep him from leaving. At the same time, other tentacles shot toward Wu Bo, who was still climbing the pit wall.

This place won't let anyone leave!

SLASH!

With lightning-fast reflexes, Su Xuan summoned his Fire Spirit Sword and sliced the tentacle in two.

He then flew over to Wu Bo, helping him break free. He also grabbed Min Chun by the collar and tossed him onto a higher ledge on the pit wall.

His actions seemed to have angered something at the bottom of the pit, and an astonishing event followed immediately...
