Hearing this, the Blood Demon felt slightly reassured and was about to say something more when suddenly—
Five beams of light shot straight into the sky, emanating from the east, south, west, north, and center.
Although these beams of light were far from the Blood Demon's underground palace, both the Blood Demon and Demon Pu were at the Dragon Transformation Realm, so such a distance meant nothing to them. They could see everything clearly.
The two demons' expressions changed drastically upon seeing the light.
"This is the warning light of the Demon-Reflecting Mirror! It only activates when the Blood God's Seed escapes the Demon Suppression Prison. How could this happen? Did Gu Qingfeng fail? Did he not devour the Blood God's Seed?" Demon Pu exclaimed in horror.
The Blood Demon's face turned extremely grim, as the appearance of these light beams indicated that things had taken the worst possible turn.
First, the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Bureau now knew about his plans to resurrect, and they would undoubtedly send people to investigate.
Second, the remaining Blood God's Seed would be guarded even more strictly and likely relocated, making it nearly impossible to obtain.
Finally, and most critically, Gu Qingfeng had sworn the Heavenly Demon Blood Oath, but since he failed to devour the Blood God's Seed, he was doomed to die.
And with Gu Qingfeng's death, the Devouring Heavenly Demon Body would also be lost.
This was truly a case of losing both the battle and the spoils.
Demon Pu's heart was also bleeding. He knew Gu Qingfeng must be dead, but what about his Qiankun Ring?
"You said it was foolproof!" The Blood Demon, now enraged by the failure of the plan, completely lost his composure. His face was filled with bloodlust and madness, and his crimson eyes glared furiously at Demon Pu.
Seeing the Blood Demon in such a state, Demon Pu was so terrified that he immediately dropped to his knees, kowtowing repeatedly like pounding garlic. "Lord Blood Demon, please calm down! I truly don't know what happened! Li Qianren was already lured away, so it should have been effortless for Gu Qingfeng to devour the Blood God's Seed..."
"Then why did it fail?!" the Blood Demon roared, condensing a thick blood-red light into a long whip. Crack, crack, crack!
The whip lashed mercilessly at Demon Pu.
Demon Pu dared not dodge and could only wail in agony. The whip inflicted not just physical pain but also soul-rending torment. Each strike brought double the suffering—both body and soul.
"Ahhhh! Lord Blood Demon, spare me! I'll investigate this immediately!" Demon Pu screamed in misery.
"Investigate?" The Blood Demon's anger flared even hotter. "What's the point of investigating now? We didn't get the Blood God's Seed, Gu Qingfeng is dead, and everything is lost! My grand plan to ascend to godhood has been ruined by your incompetence!"
The Blood Demon was in the midst of his furious tirade when he suddenly stopped, the whip freezing in his hand.
Demon Pu, noticing the abrupt halt, was momentarily stunned. He cautiously looked up at the Blood Demon, only to find him staring intently to the east.
"Someone is bringing the Blood God's Seed through space," the Blood Demon said with a grave expression.
"What? Could it be someone from the Demon Suppression Bureau?" Demon Pu exclaimed in shock.
As soon as he spoke, both of their gazes snapped to an empty spot in the underground palace's main hall.
As experts of the Dragon Transformation Realm, they could sense a spatial fluctuation.
In the next moment, space tore open, and a figure emerged.
It was Gu Qingfeng!
Gu Qingfeng had used a Minor Teleportation Talisman to traverse space. Upon arriving, he took one look around and froze.
What was going on?
A blood-red figure was holding a whip, while Demon Pu knelt nearby, covered in lash marks.
Gu Qingfeng wasn't a fool. He immediately recognized the blood-red figure as none other than the Blood Demon.
The scene was rather abrupt.
Why had he arrived just in time to see the Blood Demon whipping Demon Pu?
"Gu Qingfeng? You're not dead?" Demon Pu cried out in disbelief.
At that moment, Demon Pu felt his worldview shatter. How could someone who violated the Heavenly Demon Blood Oath still be alive?
The Blood Demon was also visibly shaken. So this was Gu Qingfeng? He was still alive?
