Chapter 71: The Blood Sacrifice Begins
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As soon as Liu Yuan arrived near the Water Moon Dock, he discovered the spiritual energy fluctuations produced by the array formation.
The cold and evil aura made people’s hair stand on end.
“This Blood Sacrifice Array feels a little evil… He can’t open this gate to hell, so the blood sacrifice array is basically a waste. Could it be that he’s prepared to sacrifice the entire sect to increase his strength and then take the opportunity to kill me?”
Liu Yuan had seen blood sacrifices in the game before. They were all small-scale, immediate individual blood sacrifices. The demonic sect often did this kind of thing, but they sacrificed other people’s lives. The Orthodox sects also knew blood sacrifice spells, but most of them were blood sacrifices of themselves.
In this world, the concept of morality was very weak most of the time. Only those who stood in high positions had a higher realm and vision, such as the former Sect Master of the Jade Mirage Sect, Ding Luan, who had died with the Heavenly Demon. Further away were the existences of the Sea Slashing Tower, who could not leave the Yonghui Sea to suppress the demon race for the rest of their lives.
It was the standard law of the jungle at the bottom level. After all, many Immortal cultivators did not do it for the Dao, but just to get out of the current situation.
Liu Yuan thought for a moment. “But Zou Wenrui really has no reason to do this. He’s at least a veteran of two dynasties. He was already here when the previous Dock Master was still here. He should still have some feelings for the Water Moon Dock. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed here even though he’s already in the Nascent Soul Stage.”
He squinted his eyes and could see from a distance that the 300-meter wide array in the center of the lake was slowly rotating. There were also some Water Moon Dock disciples who were helping to maintain the stability.
In any case, he would see the results tomorrow. It did not matter what this guy was up to. If he could not do it, there was still Zhiying by his side.
…would I get addicted to living off a woman?
But then again, Zhiying seems to have disappeared again. I guess she’s hiding in the dark to observe.
Anyway, Liu Yuan could not detect her presence. Otherwise, he would not have let her go from the top of the bed to the inside.
He went around the shore of the Water Moon Lake and returned to Ning Xiangrong’s room.
Ning Xiangrong had already woken up and was sitting on the bed, cultivating with her eyes closed. Her long black hair hung loosely, making her skin fair and her cheeks rosy. Her beautiful face added a bit of charm, probably to digest the spiritual power cultivation obtained from the double cultivation.
After all, she was not like Liu Yuan, who was a cheater. His cultivation could be increased or decreased at will, and his cultivation speed was also maintained at a constant speed.
Liu Yuan sat at the table in the room, admiring Ning Xiangrong’s beauty while holding his chin and thinking about a suitable way for her.
“The Water Moon Dock’s cultivation technique definitely won’t work. The founder’s own cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and the highest he could go was the Nascent Soul stage. The higher he went, the more difficult it would be. He could only find a more compatible one to replace it with.”
In the end, Liu Yuan decided on a cultivation technique called the Bright Mystic Ice Box Mirro. It was water-attributed and had the characteristics of an illusion. Its upper limit was to transcend Tribulations, and it was excellent in all aspects.
“It’s just a little difficult to get… It seems to be in the map of the Bai Kingdom in the far north, but it just so happens that I’m going north to find the Land of Extreme Cold and get my weapons. The Jade Mirage is in the middle of the Central Plains and I’ll pass by on the way. In this way, the route plan is still very clear. I didn’t expect that one day I would become a fan of scenery. I kind of want to explore the world of Shangyang.”
As Liu Yuan thought about it, Ning Xiangrong’s eyelashes trembled. She opened her eyes and was about to adjust her breathing again when she saw Liu Yuan still wearing the clothes she had made.
Ning Xiangrong’s expression instantly melted and became as tender as water, her eyes full of affection.
She smiled. “I didn’t see you when I woke up this morning. I only found out that you went back to Chiyu Villa to see Siyin after asking around.”
“…”
Is this affection or killing intent?
What did he say? He said that he should stay overnight and avoid this kind of Asura arena.
Now, he wanted to eat the person who had said those words.
“I went to see Fu Huan. I promised to dig out a jar of monkey wine for her as a gift, so I can’t go back on my word. Siyin has been talking about me all day. Once I appear, I’ll definitely be pestered. I might as well not go see her. Her longing will probably fade a little after a while, so I should focus on my cultivation.”
Liu Yuan’s eyes were very calm. He walked over and sat down next to Ning Xiangrong. “Are you jealous?”
Ning Xiangrong put her legs down, leaned over, and put her face on his shoulder. She said in a lazy tone, “Why should I be jealous? She hasn’t tasted anything yet. I’ve already licked you clean, leaving nothing behind. You should think about what you should do if this little vinegar jar of hers is knocked over.”
Her eyes were shining with pride. The biggest advantage of being the first to attack was the uniqueness of the first time.
Liu Yuan took the opportunity to hold her slender waist and said, “Siyin won’t be jealous of you. At least on the surface… She came to look for you last time and didn’t question you about anything. She’s usually stubborn and unreasonable, but she won’t get angry at me. At most, she’ll be sad… and I’ll think of how to comfort her.”
“This child is quite cute… She’s much cuter than your daughter.” Ning Xiangrong snorted. “Pihuan Luo did not treat that child as a relative at all. She actually sent her to seduce you. Shameless.”
“Cough… She’s is probably listening.”
The corner of Liu Yuan’s mouth twitched. He looked around, but he could not find Zhiying. She was indeed like a shadow, following the body like a shadow, but her presence was weak.
“Zhiying?” he tried to call out.
“Here.”
Liu Yuan turned his head and saw Zhiying nodding at him behind the bed curtain.
Bed curtain?
Liu Yuan looked at the figure standing barefoot behind the bed curtain. She was very small, and the way she hid in the shadows and looked at Liu Yuan was like an owl standing in the corner with its eyes wide open.
Ning Xiangrong was also stunned, and then she remembered the fact that she was being watched. She buried her face in Liu Yuan’s chest and gently hammered her fists.
“Can you find a more suitable place next time?” Liu Yuan asked.
“The top of the bed.”
“…”
Liu Yuan sighed and gave up struggling.
He continued to cultivate in Ning Xiangrong’s room until the next morning. Liu Yuan opened the door in high spirits, and Ning Xiangrong naturally held his arm, as if she was declaring her sovereignty to some players who were secretly observing, “Today, all the disciples will gather at the side of the Water Moon Lake to witness the Blood Sacrifice Array to summon the soul.”
Liu Yuan said, “If Zou Wenrui really wanted to summon his soul, he definitely wouldn’t succeed. I heard from a senior that the gate of hell has been completely sealed off. So, Yue Longzhang doesn’t have to worry about his grave being dug up. He won’t be able to live in peace even if he becomes a ghost.”
Ning Xiangrong frowned. “Then what does he want to do? he’s spent so much effort. It can’t be just for show.”
Liu Yuan looked at the lakeside. “If he wants to die today, I’ll let him experience the fear of having his gif removed during a live broadcast… Or Zhiying can do it.”
At the lakeside, Ning Tingshan was still at the head of the table. Zou Wenrui seemed to have said something to Zou Zishi and then nothing else.
Zou Wenrui took a deep breath. His eyes flickered as he prepared himself mentally and walked towards the lake.
The Blood Sacrifice Array sensed the body of Qi and blood and started to rotate slowly like a millstone. The blood-colored mist condensed and slowly dispersed, lighting up with a piercing red light.
Boom!
“What’s going on?”
“The ground is shaking?”
There was a sudden disturbance in the surroundings. After a muffled explosion on the ground, the Water Moon Dock disciples who had gathered around frantically tried to maintain their balance.
A blood-red pillar of light rose from the surface of the lake!
