Chapter 313: 313. Blood God Array and Blood God Mask

Du Ruxue led Qiao Sen straight into the red glow. Qiao Sen felt his power suddenly enhanced significantly, while Du Ruxue showed a strange expression.

"Aunt Du, are you okay?" Qiao Sen asked with concern.

Du Ruxue shook her head.

This layer of red light is the Blood God Array; the descendants of the Qiao Clan inside the array have their power enhanced. The closer to the center, the stronger they become.

However, outsiders entering the Blood God Array have their power suppressed. The nearer to the center, the greater the suppression.

This is why General Yaksha cannot enter; although she is in the Innate Realm, approaching the central area would suppress her strength to less than the Qi Refining Realm, allowing anyone to defeat her easily.

Du Ruxue’s power is naturally suppressed by the Blood God Array, but the reason for her strange expression is the suppression effect on her, which is evidently halved and continues to decrease.

Du Ruxue clearly understands the reason: it’s because the Blood God Array is linked to the Chu Kingdom’s fate.

The stronger the Chu Kingdom’s fate, the better the Blood God Array’s effect. If the country’s fate weakens, the array also diminishes.

Furthermore, the country’s fate requires the Zhao Clan to sit on the throne to be effective, as the array was set by their ancestor.

The Qiao Clan inherited the Zhao Clan’s bloodline and can activate the array’s effect; as long as Chu Kingdom’s fate endures, with the Qiao Clan on the throne, the Blood God Array will continue to exist.

This is why General Yaksha supports Di Ao’s rebellion; once the throne changes hands, the Blood God Array disappears immediately.

Currently, Di Qingying’s revolt seriously affects the Chu Kingdom’s fate, causing the array’s effect to weaken.

As for why General Yaksha didn’t overturn the table earlier, it’s because Emperor George continuously threatened her with the Blood God Mask.

...

As Du Ruxue and Qiao Sen entered the underground city, General Yaksha who left behind Yu Qing and the others, had already arrived at the Heavenly Altar in the Imperial Garden.

Upon initially discovering that the Blood God Mask might be hidden in the underground city beneath the Chu Kingdom’s Imperial Palace, General Yaksha struggled greatly with the entrance of the Altar, taking a long time to crack open the entrance mechanism.

At that time, fearing violent methods would completely seal the entrance, there was hesitance. Now, however, the concern is gone, as General Yaksha struck the entrance stone explosively, revealing a deep tunnel.

She flew straight down, then passed through the long staircase, arriving before the Blood God Array in the underground city.

This blood god array is what General Yaksha despises most, nothing compares.

She wasted half a year trying to crack it through usual means, but ultimately had to overturn the table to achieve it.

Initially, General Yaksha had only heard of the Blood God Array and was unaware of its specific effects. Her first visit involved bringing a large amount of explosives for a forceful destruction.

Unexpectedly, the explosives had no effect on the Blood God Array, and had to be used on the city gates instead.

General Yaksha plunged headfirst into the Blood God Array, her power immediately suppressed to the Foundation Establishment realm, as this array is legendary to be set by a Divine Soul realm senior, while she’s merely Innate realm, having no chance to resist.

The further inward, the weaker General Yaksha’s power grew, even being pressed down to the Qi Refining Realm upon nearing the central area.

But soon, General Yaksha’s strength suddenly recovered rapidly; she paused slightly, then burst into laughter, springing into the air and shooting forward.

...

Du Ruxue led Qiao Sen into the central area of the underground city.

Here, Du Ruxue’s power was suppressed by the Blood God Array to around the Qi Refining Realm, unable to use the golden ring to fly with Qiao Sen; they had to walk on the ground.

However, Du Ruxue could feel her power slowly restoring, indicating the Blood God Array’s effect was dissipating.

They quickly arrived at the underground city’s central location, unlike the Imperial Palace above; there appeared a small square with a giant stele six zhang high at the center, filled with inscriptions.

A middle-aged woman stood in front of the stele, looking up at it.

Upon hearing the sound, she turned around, revealing a face remarkably resembling Qiao Sen.

"Mother!"

Seeing his living mother again, Qiao Sen was almost moved to tears.

This woman was indeed Emperor George; seeing Du Ruxue bring Qiao Sen here, she was shocked and urgently asked, "Ruxue, is the situation truly this critical?"

Considering Du Ruxue brought Qiao Sen here, both looking hurried, meant the situation above was critical enough for Du Ruxue to plan an escape with Qiao Sen.

Du Ruxue nodded, quickly and succinctly said, "Yaksha prompted Di Qingying to rebel, she’s chasing from behind, the Blood God Array is weakened, we can’t stay here any longer, we must go."

Emperor Qiao Zhi was both shocked and angry: "Doesn’t she fear I’ll destroy the Blood God Mask?"

Du Ruxue calmly replied, "Di Ao has already failed, Yaksha has nothing to gain by holding back, she must take a desperate gamble."

Qiao Sen looked at his mother and Aunt Du in confusion, unable to grasp their conversation.

"Qiao Sen."

Emperor Qiao Zhi looked at his transformed daughter, sighed, "Mother owes you, hid many things from you..."

Du Ruxue urged aside, "Talk later, don’t linger, let’s go quickly."

Emperor Qiao Zhi hurried to the stele.

Qiao Sen’s focus had been entirely absorbed by his mother, now noticing a snow-white mask embedded beneath the stele.

The mask looked as if crafted from a larger-than-average skull, with two slender, long fangs that didn’t resemble human bones.

Upon seeing the mask, Qiao Sen faintly felt something was attracting her, a compelling urge to approach and wear the mask.

Du Ruxue snapped and tightly grasped Qiao Sen’s arm, shouted, "Stay calm!"

Qiao Sen then regained clarity, the surge of impulse vanished, fleeing as quickly as it arrived.

Henceforth, she grew wary towards the mysterious mask.

Emperor Qiao Zhi cautiously removed the mask, during which she several times exhibited a slight desire to wear it but forcibly refrained, stowing the mask into her clothing.

"Go!"

Du Ruxue led mother and daughter, running towards the underground city’s back exit, where a secret passage allowed escape.

Halfway, Du Ruxue noticed her power returned to the Foundation Establishment Realm signaling the rebellion above had escalated, attacking the Imperial Palace.

Now she could barely use the golden ring; Yaksha must have already recovered to her flying capability.

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly laughter echoed behind them; Du Ruxue quickly turned, seeing General Yaksha appear in the sky, locking onto their position, rapidly approaching.

Du Ruxue pushed Qiao Zhi and Qiao Sen forward, turning to face General Yaksha.

"Run, I’ll hold her off."
