A blood-red figure, shrouded in a crimson mist, burst out from the crowd.
Billowing clouds of blood surged skyward as it made a powerful move, attempting to intercept and seize the orb of light formed by the Four Saints Illusion.
At the same time, a host of Human-Faced Banners, wreathed in a bloody haze, shot up from the ground.
They let out chilling, unnerving cackles and charged in unison toward Jiang Lan, who stood atop the hill, seemingly intent on stopping him from obtaining the Four Saints Ancient Celestial Skill.
This sudden turn of events instantly threw the area into chaos. No one had expected that someone would dare to intervene at a moment like this.
Then again, who else but the Blood Immortal Sect would have such audacity?
"Protect the Young Master!"
The expressions of Li Daoyi, Ao Xu, and the others changed. They rushed to act, forming a barrier in front of Jiang Lan to block the approaching crimson figure.
