Chapter 116 Hua Yu
Walking forward along the dark passage, soon a little light appeared in front.

“There is a light.”

Tang Xiao quickened his pace, and soon the two of them walked out of the passage.

The situation in front of them really shocked the two of them. There was nothing in front of them, only a platform, and then a passage that went straight upwards. Apart from that, it was all rocks, and the passage was very narrow. It could only accommodate one person, and if the person was too strong, it would be easy to get stuck.

"This..." Tang Hao looked up in astonishment. They couldn't get up this passage because it was too narrow.

"It looks like this passage was prepared specially for Hanayo."

Huayang is not very strong, but he can easily pass through the passage above.

Tang Hao thought of the huge colorful lotus.

"Brother, do you think this passage could be connected to the colorful lotus on Baihua Mountain?"

"It's very likely. Let's go to Baihua Mountain." Tang Xiao turned around and walked back. Tang Hao took a look above and followed him. If this passage could accommodate them, there would be no need for them to go back.

If the Clear Sky Hammer alone were to hit the mountain, it would very likely collapse. There are still many people on the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, Di Hong sat cross-legged. The starry sky was as beautiful as a painting, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Although it was late, everyone was full of energy and waiting for midnight to come, just to be the first to see the scenery of flowers in full bloom.

Tang Yuehua walked lightly to his side.

"I don't know where Hanayo went."

After meeting him once before, Tang Yuehua never saw him again, nor did she see him go down the mountain.

Di Hong pointed to the lotus behind him.

"It's probably in there."

Tang Yuehua looked at the lotus, then walked around it curiously. She saw a small door on the other side. Although she was curious, she did not open the door to see what was inside, but chose to go back.

"There's a little door there."

Di Hong nodded.

Not long after, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao arrived at the top of the mountain, and they saw Di Hong and Tang Yuehua in the crowd at a glance.

"We found a passage in the City Lord's Mansion. This passage leads to the Baihua Mountain below us." Tang Hao went straight to the point and told Di Hong directly about the passage.

Di Hong didn't say anything, Tang Yuehua said: "There is also a small door on Cailian's side, according to what we learned before."

"This lotus is usually hidden inside the mountain, which means the upper part of Baihua Mountain has been hollowed out."

"The upper part of Baihua Mountain is actually empty. It's not easy for Huayang to carry out such a big project." Tang Xiao was a little surprised. He was surprised that Huayang was willing to spend so much effort on such a project.

But now it seems that he was successful, and the Hundred Flowers Festival is also well-known in the mainland. At this time of year every year, the Flower City is one of the most lively cities in the mainland.

However, in his opinion, this project was not for others, nor for enjoying the flowers. Everything was probably just for covering up.

Tang Xiao also told them about the situation in the City Lord's Mansion.

After listening, Di Hong stood up.

"So, Huayang did all this."

"Then hurry up and act. I'll go with you." Tang Hao looked at him with strange eyes.

"Brother-in-law, you seem to be in a hurry."

Di Hong nodded: "Finish the work early and leave early."

"Okay then, let's go now." Tang Hao didn't want to waste too much time in this Flower City.

The four of them came to the small door, opened it while no one around them was paying attention, and then quickly closed the door.

After entering the lotus platform, a staircase leads directly downwards, and a strong smell of blood fills the surroundings.

"Such a strong smell of blood." Tang Yuehua frowned and took out a handkerchief from the soul guide to cover her mouth and nose, then took out another one and handed it to Di Hong.

The four of them walked down the stairs.

There are mechanisms all around, but these mechanisms are not used for attack, but for maintenance. Without these mechanisms, it would not be easy to send such a huge lotus up.

At the end of the stairs is a huge space, with a round hole in the center that leads directly downwards. This is the passage leading upwards that Tang Hao and his friends had seen before.

After arriving here, the smell of blood became stronger, and it was mixed with fluctuations of soul power.

"This soul power fluctuation doesn't seem to be emitted by Hua Yang." Tang Xiao looked around and found a passage where the soul power fluctuation came from.

At the end of the passage is a tomb chamber, which contains nothing except a sarcophagus.

But at this moment, on the sarcophagus, there was a young man sitting cross-legged. The young man was dressed in blood-red clothes, exuding a strong smell of blood. Blood-red soul power lingered around his body, and a black lotus was suspended on the palm of his hand. The difference from the black-lined lotus was that the patterns on his lotus were blood-red.

Around the sarcophagus, there lay more than a dozen dried corpses, both male and female, but as expected, all of them had been drained of blood and were now nothing more than mummies.

Hanayo looked at the young man with eyes full of love.

The young man was his son who died in the eyes of outsiders, named Hua Yu.

Just as Di Hong and the others thought, his son was indeed not dead. The reason why he faked his son's death and did so many things to cover it up was for Hua Yu.

When his martial soul awakened, it mutated from a black-veined lotus to a black-veined blood lotus, but his innate soul power was only at level two. However, after the martial soul mutated, there was an effect, which was that it could absorb the blood of others to enhance its own strength.

In other words, the more blood he absorbs, the better the quality of his martial soul will be, and his cultivation speed will also become faster.

Especially the blood of the soul master, after absorbing it, his cultivation speed became faster.

However, it has a flaw, which is that it must suck blood once a year, otherwise the martial spirit will suck his blood until he is dry.

This kind of martial soul is already an evil martial soul. Compared with this martial soul, Bibi Dong's martial soul cannot be considered an evil martial soul. This is almost completely unacceptable on the mainland, especially since he is the city lord of the empire. But he does not want to hand over his son. After all, only death awaits him.

He also thought about sending people to the City of Slaughter, but that place was a place with no way out, so he couldn't bear it. In the end, he made this decision. He let his son fake his death and hide in the Hundred Flowers Mountain to practice. The Hundred Flowers Festival was just a cover.

In fact, at the beginning, he could secretly abduct people here under the guise of banditry, but with the strict order from above, he could no longer use this excuse.

So, he began to sneak around, first targeting homeless people, then orphans, until these years when he started to choose those who had only orphans and widows at home, or soul masters from other places.

But he only secretly brought in a dozen people every year, and there were only two or three soul masters.

But now he is gradually unable to satisfy his son's thirst for blood. Hua Yu is now a Soul Emperor and not far from becoming a Soul Sage. He needs the blood of a more powerful Soul Master.
