Those seemingly offered as tributes were a total of nine items, mostly spiritual materials, each exuding an astonishing aura.

"That black lotus is the Underworld Water Immortal Lotus! One of the top ten immortal lotuses in the True Immortal World. Taking it will not only greatly enhance one's cultivation, but also transform the physical body into an Underworld Water Immortal Body, making it ten times easier to comprehend the laws of the water element than ordinary cultivators."

"That's Celestial Gold Diamond! A legendary treasure of the metal element. Immortal artifacts crafted from it are indestructible!"

"Am I seeing things? That small blue bottle contains Essence of Profound Truth, so pure, and so much of it! Enough for two people to advance to the Grand Luo realm!"

"And that..."

Everyone was stunned upon seeing the items on the stone table, then erupted into chaos. Those who recognized the items exclaimed in shock and disbelief.

Wang Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement as he looked at the items on the stone table. However, he frowned again as he gazed at the surrounding walls and ground.

Jin Liu stared intently at the Underworld Water Immortal Lotus and the Celestial Gold Diamond beside it, his eyes burning with desire as he strode forward.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, hold on!" At that moment, a figure appeared out of nowhere in front of him, raising a hand to block his path. It was Wang Yu.

"Shi Daoyou, what are you doing?" Jin Liu, thinking Wang Yu was going to compete with him for the Underworld Water Immortal Lotus, said with a dark expression. At the same time, he moved to pounce forward and seize the treasure.

"Take a look at the surroundings of the stone table," Wang Yu said calmly.

Hearing this, Jin Liu's eyebrows twitched, and he stopped in surprise and suspicion. He glanced around, his expression immediately changing slightly.

Seven dark red patterns were engraved on the walls around the stone table. Each was about a foot in size, with rough lines and traces of time erosion visible at the corners, exuding a sense of desolation.

The seven patterns seemed to depict seven deity figures. However, they didn't appear to be any orthodox deities. They were all strangely shaped, some with three heads and six arms, others with human bodies and beast heads, radiating an evil and ferocious aura, likely evil gods.

The seven patterns were arranged in a certain pattern on the surrounding walls and ground. However, the dark red patterns were quite dim, and the surrounding walls were also made of a reddish material, making them difficult to notice.

Some of the others were also eager to try. Hearing Wang Yu's words, they all stopped and looked around, soon discovering the seven patterns on the walls.

"It seems to be some kind of restriction formation," Wen Zhong muttered, carefully examining the seven patterns.

The others looked at each other, and no one spoke for a moment, as if they didn't recognize them.

"I think instead of speculating randomly, we might as well try it and see," Jin Liu said, waving his hand.

"Jin Liu, don't be impulsive," Su Anqian tried to stop Jin Liu, but it was already too late.

A blue light flew out from Jin Liu's sleeve, heading towards the stone table.

As soon as the blue light approached the stone table, the seven patterns immediately shone brightly, with rays of blood-red light blooming from them, forming a layer of blood-colored light curtain.

At the same time, the light curtain rippled, and a huge head suddenly emerged, one of the seven fierce god patterns, opening its mouth wide and swallowing the blue light.

After swallowing the blue light, the fierce god's head did not immediately disappear. It roared at Wang Yu and the others, as if trying to break free from the blood-colored light curtain and devour them all in one gulp.

A violent and ferocious intent erupted from the fierce god's head, transmitting into the minds of everyone present!

Everyone's eyes turned red, and images of mountains of heads, rivers of blood, and thousands of miles of scorched earth vaguely appeared in their minds. Boundless killing intent devoured their souls!

Fortunately, the cultivators present were all highly skilled, and their soul power was strong. They quickly dissolved the killing intent.

The fierce god's head roared a few more times, but ultimately failed to break free from the blood-colored light curtain and retreated into the light curtain. The blood-colored light curtain then flickered twice and disappeared without a trace.

Wang Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he watched this scene.

Although he didn't recognize the blood-colored formation, he saw some clues. This formation seemed to be some kind of blood path formation, similar to the Blood Weeping Formation within the Scale Accumulation Void, but with more killing changes.

As for how to break it, he was also at a loss.

"What a powerful fierce formation. It seems that obtaining the treasures inside will not be possible without some effort," Lei Yuce murmured.

"Hmph! Who cares what kind of fierce formation it is? With so many of us here, I don't believe we can't break it," Jin Liu snorted, his eyes fixed on the treasures on the stone table, filled with greed, wishing he could immediately collect all the treasures into his bag.

Although Jin Liu's method of breaking the formation was a bit crude, the others nodded in agreement.

This method was the simplest, and they didn't have much time to waste here.

Hearing this, Wang Yu frowned slightly.

Although he hadn't seen through this blood-colored formation, he was afraid that the method of breaking the formation with brute force would not work.

"If you want to get the treasures inside, you'd better not use brute force to break the formation," a voice suddenly rang out. It was Lan Yan, who had been silent all along.

The others were surprised and looked at Lan Yan.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, what do you mean by this? Do you recognize this formation?" Lei Yuce asked with a happy expression.

"Sort of. I have some knowledge of formations. I once saw a record of this formation in an ancient book. This formation is called the Seven Killing Blood God Formation. It belongs to the blood path formation and contains the power of the seven fierce gods of the blood path. If you don't know the method and use brute force to break it, the power of the seven fierce gods in the blood formation will collide and explode. Although I don't know how powerful the explosion will be, destroying the treasures inside will definitely not be a problem," Lan Yan said calmly.

Wang Yu's eyebrows twitched, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The others' expressions changed upon hearing this.

Jin Liu's face darkened, almost making a big mistake due to his impulsiveness.

It wasn't his fault. The Underworld Water Immortal Lotus was extremely compatible with the cultivation method he practiced. As long as he could obtain this item, he would be confident in breaking through his current bottleneck.

The Celestial Gold Diamond was also something he had been craving for many years, which was of great use to him. Wang Yu and the others had taken the lead in entering the golden gate, where the metal elemental energy was extremely rich, and it was possible that one or two Celestial Gold Diamonds had been conceived.

He later targeted Wang Yu on the second floor because he suspected that Wang Yu had this treasure on him. He didn't expect to encounter it here.

"Since Fellow Daoist Lan recognizes this formation, you must also know the method to break it. Please don't hesitate to teach us," Lei Yuce said sincerely, looking at Lan Yan.

"Fellow Daoist Lei wants me to help for free?" Lan Yan smiled slightly, chuckling.

"Fellow Daoist Lan wants some reward? How about this, after breaking this formation, Fellow Daoist Lan can prioritize selecting one of these treasures as the price for your help, how about that?" Lei Yuce was stunned, then immediately said.

The others were also determined to get the treasures inside. Hearing this, their expressions changed slightly, but they didn't say anything.

"I can help you break this Seven Killing Blood God Formation, but I don't want these treasures inside. Instead, I want to exchange for a condition," Lan Yan said, then glanced at Wang Yu.

Wang Yu noticed Lan Yan's movements, his expression unchanged.

"Oh, what condition does Fellow Daoist Lan want to exchange for?" Lei Yuce asked again, stunned.

"My senior brother is currently in Shi Daoyou's hands. I want Shi Daoyou to release him," Lan Yan said slowly, looking at Wang Yu.

"Your senior brother..." Lei Yuce's expression changed, and the figure of Lan Yuanzi appeared in his mind. Then he looked at Wang Yu.

The others also looked at Wang Yu upon hearing Lan Yan's words.

Wang Yu immediately understood Lan Yan's intention. Using this opportunity, she wanted to use the power of the crowd to force him to hand over Lan Yuanzi. She was good at seizing opportunities.

He sneered inwardly, but did not speak, standing aside with his hands behind his back. He was a little strange. How did Lan Yan know that he had not killed Lan Yuanzi, but had imprisoned him?

"Shi Daoyou, is that senior brother of Fellow Daoist Lan in your hands?" Lei Yuce turned his gaze to Wang Yu and asked.

"That's right. This Fellow Daoist Lan and her senior brother joined forces to deal with me. After being captured by me, they were imprisoned," Wang Yu said faintly, narrowing his eyes.

Since Su Anqian met Lan Yan on this floor, she guessed that she might have had conflicts with Wang Yu before. Now that she heard Wang Yu say this, she thought to herself that it was indeed the case.

Then, the woman's eyes kept wandering between Wang Yu and Lan Yan, wondering what she was thinking.

Although Lei Yuce guessed that there were some conflicts between the three, he didn't expect it to be so intense. His heart sank.

"I don't know what grievances you three have, but now that everyone is in a dangerous situation, we need to work together to move forward. Can Shi Daoyou release Fellow Daoist Lan's senior brother?" He muttered secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he said earnestly to Wang Yu, acting as a peacemaker.

"Fellow Daoist Lei, I have a deep hatred with these two, an irreconcilable one. If I release her senior brother, what if they deal with me again?" Wang Yu replied coldly.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, what do you say?" Lei Yuce felt that Wang Yu's words made sense, so he frowned and turned to Lan Yan.

"As long as Shi Daoyou releases my senior brother, I can swear that I will never attack Shi Daoyou in this secret realm. Moreover, Shi Daoyou's strength is far superior to me and my senior brother. Why would we do such an unwise thing?" Lan Yan said immediately.

"I never believe in oaths, even if they are made with inner demons, there are ways to break them. I will never put my safety in the hands of others. Don't mention this matter again," Wang Yu shook his head.

Although he had defeated Lan Yuanzi and Lan Yan before, he always felt that the Nine Yuan Temple's pursuit of him was not over, and he felt a vague sense of unease somewhere in his heart. That's why he captured Lan Yuanzi instead of killing him directly.

With Lan Yuanzi as a trump card in his hand, Lan Yan would not dare to do anything to him, so why would he hand him over so easily?

"Fellow Daoist Shi, Fellow Daoist Lan has already said so much, showing enough sincerity. You are still clinging to past grievances, as a man, you are too stingy. Besides, we are now abandoning our grievances and acting together. Your actions are openly opposing us and you aren't taking our words seriously." Jin Liu was eager to break the restriction, and he didn't like Wang Yu, so he naturally stood on Lan Yan's side, putting pressure on Wang Yu in his words.

Wang Yu frowned, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He had saved Jin Liu before, but he didn't expect this person to have no gratitude at all and be so opportunistic. It was really disgusting.
