CHAPTER 1261: CHAPTER 1261: BLOOD RAVEN IMMORTAL

Ao Qingzhou shuddered and slowly turned his head.

He saw a blood-stained phantom floating in the air.

"You..."

This blood-colored illusion was simply too terrifying, even a Fifth Grade King Realm cultivator like Ao Qingzhou was scared into a cold sweat, instantly soaking his clothes.

From this blood-colored illusion, he felt an evil presence and murderous intent.

Ao Qingzhou forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and immediately took out the Blood-colored Token.

"I have the token, you are my servant, kneel immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the blood-colored illusion laughed heartily, the laughter full of mockery.

"Young one, this token is just a bait I threw outside."

"I have thrown out thousands of such tokens; over the course of several thousand years, at least hundreds have brought these tokens here."

"They all eventually became my Blood Food."

"They nourished this Residual Soul of mine, allowing me to survive to this day."

Hearing this, Ao Qingzhou was utterly terrified.

What???

Was this token actually a trap set by this terrifying figure?

At this moment, Ao Qingzhou only felt his legs turn to jelly.

"You... Who exactly are you?"

Ao Qingzhou trembled as he spoke.

The blood-colored illusion gave a sinister smile and said:

"I am the True Blood Crow, ambushed by that old Five Thunders and suppressed here."

"Just now, I had already sensed it; the aura of that old Five Thunders has completely vanished into thin air. In this millennia-long struggle, it seems I have outlived him after all."

At this moment, Ao Qingzhou was completely dumbfounded.

True Blood Crow? True Five Thunders?

Millennia-long struggle?

Were they... Ancient Cultivators?

He had actually seen a living Ancient Cultivator?

At this moment, Ao Qingzhou suddenly became very excited and knelt down on the ground, lying prostrate at the feet of True Blood Crow.

"True Blood Crow, I greatly admire the elegance of Ancient Cultivators. Please consider taking me as your disciple for freeing you."

"I have great influence outside and can do many things for you."

Seeing Ao Qingzhou kneeling in front of him, True Blood Crow sneered.

"Young one, you’re clever, but your little tricks are far too naive before me."

"Do you think that will make me spare you?"

"I am currently in a Residual Soul state and am in need of a body."

"This is why I have kept you alive until now."

"Alright, I’ve told you everything you need to know. Surely you have no doubts now."

"Hand over your body to me, and regarding any regrets in your heart, I will resolve them for you."

As he spoke, the Residual Soul of True Blood Crow lunged at Ao Qingzhou in an instant.

Ao Qingzhou was terrified, his expression drastically changing. Instinctively, he reached for the unremarkable jade stone at his neck.

However, his hand froze halfway there.

He instantly lost all his spirit, becoming like a living corpse.

This scene lasted for about three minutes.

After three minutes, Ao Qingzhou suddenly moved.

However, at that moment, his eyes had completely changed.

From the previous fear to a deep and ancient gaze filled with endless killing intent.

With the change in his gaze, Ao Qingzhou’s entire demeanor changed completely.

If before, Ao Qingzhou seemed elegant, wise, and calm, now he was filled with murderous aura, making one shudder at first glance.

True Blood Crow flexed his body a bit, then snorted coldly:

"This body is truly awful."

"If I had a choice, I really wouldn’t have seized such a worthless body."

"Whatever, since it’s like this, I’ll have to make do."

"However, I didn’t expect the grudge in this youngster’s heart to be so intense. To control this body, I must first eliminate his grudge..."

"Zhou Yu... haha, a mere youngster not even considered a Human Immortal, yet he made Ao Qingzhou so wretched, how laughable."

"Alright, I’ll take a trip and resolve this grudge for this youngster."

With that said, True Blood Crow glanced around, quickly locked onto a direction, transformed into a blood-colored illusion, and vanished.

...

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu, Li Qinglong, and Wing King were chatting, recovering from their injuries.

Soon, their injuries were almost completely healed. Just as the three stood up, preparing to leave the cavern, Zhou Yu’s expression suddenly changed. Immediately after, he wore a very solemn expression, staring into the distance.

Seeing Zhou Yu’s reaction, Li Qinglong and Wing King were both taken aback.

"Zhou Yu, what’s wrong?"

Zhou Yu’s face was tense like never before, even his tone changed.

"I sense an extremely evil aura rapidly approaching."

"Extremely evil?" Li Qinglong was momentarily puzzled.

What does an evil aura mean?

Just as he was about to ask, suddenly, all the hairs on his body stood up.

Li Qinglong’s expression drastically changed. Looking back, he saw a blood-colored illusion streaking across the sky like a meteor, closing in on them instantly.

Seeing this blood-colored illusion, Li Qinglong couldn’t help but tremble.

Beside him, Wing King had gone pale, and even his legs had begun to weaken.

In the blink of an eye, the blood-colored illusion appeared in front of Zhou Yu and the others.

It was only then that the three of them could clearly see the person within the blood-colored illusion.

"Ao Qingzhou???"

Li Qinglong exclaimed.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Zhou Yu say:

"Old Li, this person is not Ao Qingzhou!!!"

Li Qinglong also sensed that while this person looked exactly like Ao Qingzhou, the aura was entirely different.

At this moment, Zhou Yu gave a cold shout.

"Who... are you?"
