"Thank you!"
Mu En's heart soared with joy as he heard the words of gratitude. He could only watch all of this in silence.
"Blood sacrifice, voice of the soul, sacrificial formation, rise!" Mu En silently kept chanting in his heart until no more figures in the sea of blood remained.
At this moment, there were no more ripples on the surface of the sea. Instead, there were monstrous waves.
The descendants of Arnia, who were sleeping in the blood coffin, woke up from their slumber.
They couldn't help but wake up. The monstrous waves smashed the blood coffin into pieces.
Even the altar that Arnia was cultivating upon could not withstand a single blow.
"What's going on?"
"Is it an enemy invasion? How did they invade our clan's sacred land?"
"Where's father? Didn't father wake up already?"
"Could it be that even father...?"
The people who woke up from the blood coffin were deeply shocked by the scene before them.
This was their clan's sacred land for cultivation. In the end, when they woke up from their slumber, they discovered that their group was surrounded by a blood formation.
This made them feel a deep sense of unease from the bottom of their hearts. Did this mean that the Arnia clan had already been destroyed? Otherwise, how could they have invaded this place?
"All of you shut up! Father will definitely be fine!" A tall and sturdy man from the middle shouted angrily.
It seemed that this man had a lot of prestige amongst the group of people. The situation immediately stabilized.
However, Mu En was still not in a hurry. The formation had already been set up. No matter what, the group would not be able to escape.
Moreover, in order to prevent others from noticing the abnormality underground, Count Arnia had set up quite a number of barriers along the way.
As a result, the people outside could not detect the movement inside at all. Layers of fog, blood-red in color began to appear around Mu En's body.
This was the terrifying aspect of the sacrificial array; it sacrificed all the living beings within the array.
Regardless of whether it was their life, blood, spirit, or soul.
As time passed, the people within the array would become weaker and weaker. Eventually, they would be swallowed by the sea of blood and become a part of it.
Mu En would become stronger and stronger. Both his blood qi and spiritual power would increase by leaps and bounds.
"Big brother Artiz, what should we do next?" Someone in the sea of blood asked the tall and sturdy man in the middle.
"Don't panic. If we concentrate all our strength and attack one area, we will definitely be able to break through this blood formation." Artiz didn't have any confidence in himself.
The sacred place that he had relied on to cultivate in his clan had actually unknowingly been barricaded in by a powerful blood formation.
Worst of all, he and the others didn't know about it at all.
Either Mu En had many people and was extremely good at hiding, or his spiritual power was strong enough to deceive everyone's senses.
In his heart, he hoped that it was the former. Although Mu En had many people, it could only mean that he had used some sort of secret method to sneak into this place when his father wasn't paying attention.
As long as they broke through this layer of the blood formation, there was nothing to worry about.
If it was the latter, where Mu En's spiritual power was strong enough to deceive everyone... then it was very likely that there was some kind of great change happening outside, and it was even likelier that even his father... had fallen.
Meaning that, even if they broke through the blood formation, they would still have to face an enemy with terrifying strength.
At this time, did they really have the strength to deal with the Mu En?
However, the most important thing now was to break through this layer of the blood formation. If they could not even break through it, then anything after that would be out of the question.
...
"Aries, you old man. It's not easy for you to wake up, yet you're in such a hurry to spread your branches and leaves."
"You're really not any better than me! Haha." At this moment, Count Arnia was meeting a few good friends outside.
Due to this ancestral worship ceremony, many old friends had also woken up from their deep slumber.
"How can I compare myself to you? The strength of your family's descendants cannot be underestimated. Not to mention the others; just the eldest son, Artiz alone, is enough to suppress my clan's useless members to the point where they can't raise their heads."
"Yes, yes. If Artiz is given some time to grow, he will almost catch up to us elders."
"And as the boss, Artiz is mature and steady. Not only is he obedient, but he is also very patient when teaching the other clansmen. It can be said that you are a model of being respectful to your clansmen."
"No... No! Artiz is still far from being ready." Although he said this, the expression on Aries Arnia's face showed that he was actually enjoying the jovial atmosphere.
At this time, he did not know that his descendants had already been surrounded by Mu En and were about to be wiped out.
He could not imagine that someone had the strength and courage to break into the most sacred place of the clan, right under his nose.
...
Under the castle, Artiz's expression was abnormally ugly.
He attacked the blood-red light curtain that covered his head time and time again.
However, he failed again.
"Big brother Artiz, I feel that my power is continuously being sapped away. What's going on?"
"Yes, Big brother, I feel it too."
"Don't panic, we are about to rush out." Artiz comforted his fellow clansmen around him, but only he knew how difficult it was to deal with this blood formation.
Mu En was calm and composed. He felt that his strength was increasing at a terrifying speed while watching the group of people in the sea of blood struggle desperately.
The blood-colored light screen only blocked the line of sight of the people inside, but it did not prevent Mu En from observing their situation from outside.
"Big brother Artiz, I..." However, before the person could finish his words, Artiz saw a wave of blood coming towards him,
it wrapped him up and pulled him under the sea of blood.
"Afel!" The people around Artiz cried out in unison, but there was nothing they could do.
Artiz reached out to grab Afel, but the moment he touched him, his expression changed, and he quickly let go.
The moment they made contact, he felt as if the power in his body had been sucked away by something.
Only now did he finally understand the terror of this blood formation. This endless sea of blood could absorb all the power in their bodies.
"No." Artiz couldn't stop them in time. One of them tried to pull Afel out, but he fell into the sea of blood as well.
"Everyone! Don't go near this sea of blood. It can devour our power." Artiz realized that it was too late to save them, so he could only take the rest of them and leave.
They were the ones who initially drew power from the sea of blood. Now, it had become what sucked the life out of them.
It truly was ironic.
If this continued, all of them would die in the sea of blood.
Artiz's eyes flashed as he looked around at his clansmen.
