The expressions of the Xie family members turned sour when they learned that Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others had left in such a manner.
Even though they had no evidence, they were convinced that Xie Qiyi's disappearance was definitely related to Bai Li Hongzhuang and Di Beichen.
However, the Xie family was already busy dealing with their business affairs, fearing that the Yuan family would take advantage of this opportunity to target them.
If they were to act against Bai Li Hongzhuang and Di Beichen now, it would only give the Yuan family a reason to punish them. Therefore, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.
After Bai Li Hongzhuang and Di Beichen left, Yuan Chengshuo and Yuan Hongyang exchanged a glance. It was time for them to prepare for dealing with the Xie family's matters.
The Blood Abyss was still a distance away from Yuanwu City. Bai Li Hongzhuang and Di Beichen traveled northward and found that the path was filled with ruins, faintly outlining the contours of a city.
Surprised, Bai Li Hongzhuang looked around and asked, "Was this place a city before?"
Di Beichen nodded slightly. "This used to be a city of the Snow Source Kingdom. But since the appearance of the Blood Abyss, the population here has decreased, gradually disappearing and relocating as a whole."
Originally, Yuanwu City was not the northernmost city of the Snow Source Kingdom, but now it had become the northernmost city.
Understanding Di Beichen's words, Bai Li Hongzhuang realized that there was more to this than meets the eye.
"I see, it seems that there is a long history behind this."
Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled lightly, as the passage of time could be seen through these ruins, indicating that many years had passed.
"There are many wicked and evil people in the Blood Abyss. Initially, the people living near the Blood Abyss suffered greatly, with many casualties. As a result, the Blood Abyss has become a relatively special region, with no cities around."
Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded slightly. The Blood Abyss was too dangerous, and if ordinary people approached, it would truly be a one-way road to death.
After several days of traveling, Bai Li Hongzhuang's gaze caught sight of a city in the distance. Her bright black eyes sparkled with brilliance.
The city was also covered in white snow, but from a distance, it appeared to be a vivid red, giving off a creepy yet strangely beautiful sensation.
"Is that the Blood Abyss?" Bai Li Hongzhuang looked at the distant red city and asked.
Di Beichen's gaze also focused on the distance as he faintly smiled. "Yes, that is the Blood Abyss."
"My lady, are you mentally prepared?" Di Beichen shifted his gaze to Bai Li Hongzhuang. Along the way, he had told her a lot about the Blood Abyss, hoping that she would be mentally prepared.
Otherwise, if they were to enter and she became frightened, they would have to return empty-handed.
Upon hearing his words, Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled and said, "Don't worry, my mental resilience isn't so weak."
In her previous life, she had experienced many bloody storms, but she just hadn't mentioned it to Di Beichen. She had long prepared herself mentally and wouldn't fear any cruel situation.
Radiating confidence from her peerlessly beautiful face, Di Beichen nodded slightly, feeling reassured by Bai Li Hongzhuang's calmness.
"We will soon arrive at the Blood Abyss. Let's find an inn to rest for today and start our training tomorrow, how about that?" Di Beichen spoke up.
After traveling continuously in this icy land for several days, they must be quite exhausted.
