Chapter 141: Purgatory
Chu Wuyao stepped forward and started walking through this red land, always remaining alert and being ready to fight against any possible attack.
She didn't dare to fly in the air, afraid that doing so would prove to be dangerous.
After all, the Demon Cult should have a goal in setting up this trap and transporting them to this place.
At the very least, Chu Wuyao didn't believe that this place was harmless and contained no threats.
Even though she didn't choose to fly, she was still able to cover a large distance with each of her steps and her speed was still very fast.
Time slowly went by, but Chu Wuyao discovered that no matter how much she walked, the red land under her feet always remained the same.
The red land seemed to be endless and no matter how much distance she covered, it looked as if she had stayed in the same place.
If it were not for the fact that she could sense that this place was different, she would have thought that she had been walking in circles all this time.
Just when she felt that this would continue going on and was starting to get irritated, she noticed that the space ring on her right hand suddenly shook.
When Chu Wuyao saw this, she extended her thoughts into it and after taking a look inside, she found the source of this change and took it out.
It was the Blood Flag, or to be more accurate, it was Li Ruoshi.
The moment she appeared in the outside world, Li Ruoshi's indifferent transparent figure appeared right above the Blood Flag.
However, in the always calm Li Ruoshi, Chu Wuyao could now sense a feeling of excitement and longing.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that her current condition was very strange, looking like a hungry beast that was smelling blood.
"What's the matter?", Chu Wuyao couldn't help but ask, and her words jolted Li Ruoshi away.
As she recovered, she hid the excitement that filled her eyes and turned her head to look at Chu Wuyao before speaking up:
"I can sense that there is something attracting me in that direction.", she said and pointed with her finger and then continued:
"I can feel that if I swallow that thing, I will not only be able to advance, but it will also be very beneficial to me in the long-run."

As Li Ruoshi said this, she unconsciously licked her lips.
However, Chu Wuyao didn't pay attention to her strange movements.
She had already accepted that she was the only normal person in this world and everyone else was crazy, Li Ruoshi included.
Compared to Li Ruoshi's attitude, she paid more attention to the contents of her words.
The fact that something was attracting Li Ruoshi not only did not make her worry, but also made her quite excited.
She felt that she had finally found the ticket to leave this damn place!
With that in mind, she looked at Li Ruoshi and gave an order:
"Lead the way."
In response, Li Ruoshi nodded her head slightly and then, the Blood Flag flew out of Chu Wuyao's hand and rushed forward.
Seeing this, Chu Wuyao didn't hesitate at all and chased after her.
In a seemingly endless red land, a terrifying flag that dripped with blood flew in the air, while a beautiful woman followed her closely, creating a strange scene.
Fortunately, nobody was here to witness this, otherwise, they would have thought that they had fallen into the purgatory.
Whether it was Chu Wuyao or Li Ruoshi, they were extraordinary, so they didn't spend much time on the road.
Before long, one human and one Magic Weapon arrived at the source of the attraction that Li Ruoshi felt.
It was a huge river that extended for countless kilometers in both directions.
Even with Chu Wuyao's strength, she was unable to see this river's end, as if it stretched endlessly.
Strangely, this river didn't contain water nor any liquid that Chu Wuyao would recognize, but a white, transparent liquid.
This white river was in turmoil and waves were constantly rushing towards the distance.
"Is this what attracted you here?", Chu Wuyao turned her head and asked and her question received a positive answer from Li Ruoshi.
"If you're tired of living, you can go ahead.", she said and rolled her eyes.
Although this river seemed to be ordinary apart from its strange appearance, and it didn't exude any strong aura, Chu Wuyao wouldn't be fooled by this.
How could a thing that was found inside the formation of the Demon Cult be truly harmless?
In her mind, this river should be something terrifying.
Just when Chu Wuyao was deep in thought, the waves of the river continued rushing forward and some of them hit the river's shore.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud noise rang in her ears and an object was washed up by the river and fell on the shore, before rolling a few times towards her.
When Chu Wuyao looked at it, she discovered that this "object" was a human.
It was a middle aged man, with a well-trimmed beard and he was wearing a thick golden armor.
His eyes were closed tightly and he didn't move, as if he was asleep.
Instantly, Chu Wuyao was able to recognize this man.
Although the two had never talked with each other, she could remember that she had seen him before and he was a famous Great Warrior and a well-known Priest of the Holy Church.
But now, this Great Warrior was lying here, completely unresponsive.
Moreover, Chu Wuyao could sense that there was no vitality remaining in his body and he was obviously dead.
When she took a closer look, she found that there was a small crack on the left side of his golden armor and a cut existed on the man's chest, as if a needle had penetrated his body.
