Ning Cheng had long heard that the waters of the Blood River were extremely corrosive, but now he had nowhere to escape. His first instinct was to enter the Xuan Huang Origin bead. But in the instant the waves crashed towards him, Ning Cheng did not enter the bead; instead, he used True Yuan to raise a protective barrier.
If the True Yuan barrier could not withstand the onslaught of the blood waves, he would then enter the Xuan Huang Origin bead.
Many disciples from large sects came to the Blood River Mountain, and should the aura of the Xuan Huang Origin be exposed, he would definitely be guessed upon. Being a demonic cultivator was merely an unsavory reputation; without any interests involved, he would not provoke the pursuit of powerful beings. However, should the Xuan Huang Origin bead or its aura be revealed, even if he fled to the ends of the earth, someone would still pursue him.
