Chapter 320 – Bloodline Sacrifice
Chapter 320 – Blood Sacrifice
Five days later at dawn, when the sky will be bright, from the village out of a line of people.
The head of a person is the village chief, he looked at Ah Da, “I am not in the village these days, you have to guard the clan.”
Ah Da nodded vigorously, but there was some worry in his eyes, “Those outsiders in the village, have they been dealt with properly?”
“There is no need to worry, when I feasted them yesterday, I had already put in the divine medicine gifted by the Witch God in the food water, they will fall asleep for three days, and will forget everything when they wake up.”
The village chief looked calm, since he dared to accept these outsiders, he would not give them a chance to disrupt the ritual.
Yesterday he watched them use the food water with his own eyes, and when the divine medicine takes effect, the outsiders will forget where they came from and stay here forever.
Only by allowing them to stay in the village would they be able to bring in a steady stream of sacrifices.
After the village headman finished his explanation, he led his clan with a solemn and reverent expression, walking in the direction of the ancestral place.
Ah Da watched the ancestor worshiping clansmen walk away, and after a moment’s hesitation, he decided to check out the houses where the outsiders lived.
During this period of time, twenty to thirty outsiders had come to the village, but most of them had disappeared inexplicably, and only seven or eight remained.
The first place he went to was the residence of the couple that entered the village first.
The village chief had explained that the two of them had to be separated as early as possible after the divine medicine took effect.
Ah Da approached their house very cautiously, confirming that they were asleep before he climbed through the window and entered the house.
He had hunted for years with extraordinary hands, and did not make any noise when he landed.
He was about to make a move, but then he had a jolt of surprise and his hairs stood on end, and he had a feeling that he was being watched by a horrible being.
An inconspicuous golden bug landed on his shoulder, and he only felt a pain on his shoulder, and then half of his body instantly stiffened.
The sleeping pair of outsiders on the bed rolled over and got up, their eyes clear, the corners of their mouths hanging up in a smile-like expression, where was there still half a bit of sleepiness?
Ah Da’s heart kept sinking, didn’t the village chief say that they would fall into a coma after taking the divine medicine? In the end where is the mistake!
Did they not take the divine medicine at all, or did the divine medicine not work on them?
You Sinniang glances at Ah Da and retracts her gaze, looking towards her daoist partner, “How about it, I told you that these villagers are not simple, right, but you still don’t believe me, Tan Lang.”
Tan Lang awkwardly touched his nose, he was not easily fooled, only that these villagers are all mortals without cultivation, coupled with the nature of the real pure and simple, which did not set up defenses.
“How did Sinniang know that these villagers have oddities?”
“Naturally, I guessed.”
You Sinniang hooks her lips in a smile, “By common sense, this isolated small village should be very xenophobic, but their attitude is too warm, there must be a demon when things go wrong.”
Tan Lang suddenly realized, “That’s why yesterday you suspected that there was something strange in the water, but pretended not to know, wanting to see what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourd.”
“If I didn’t have Xiao Jin around, I wouldn’t have dared to take such a risk, but it’s good that the bet was right.”
You Sinniang said, her eyes looked at Ah Da, “So you village chief, in the end, what is the idea, and where are you heading to now?”
Ah Da did not expect the village head’s scheme has long been seen through, but also will be waiting for him here, has long been a heart in turmoil.
Just bear in mind the usual clan rules, refused to divulge half a word.
Tan Lang sneered, “If you don’t confess, I have the means to make you confess.”
You Sinniang, however, stops him, “Why waste those precious poisons on such a loser, if you want to know what they are playing at, just follow them secretly before they go far.”
Tan Lang thought briefly and nodded, “Then the other cultivators, should we take the opportunity to settle them?”
Right now, they were drugged, and that was the best opportunity to strike.
“Forget about it, don’t make any extra trouble. Anyway, Xiao Jin has already had his fill, so there’s no need to kill anyone else. It’s just this one that has to die.” You Sinniang glanced at Ah Da and was about to drive Xiao Jin to make a move when she saw Ah Da calmly closing his eyes, his body’s flesh and blood drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Within just half a breath, Ah Da was transformed into a dry corpse, and as he collapsed to the ground with a loud bang, there was still a hint of a smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.
You Sinniang and Tan Lang looked at each other, both seeing the shocked look in the other’s eyes.
Tan Lang couldn’t help but be alarmed, ”What kind of evil technique is this? No, this is the land of extinct spirits, how can one cast an evil spell without aura?”
His face changed several times, as if he thought of something, under gritting his teeth, he went forward and ripped off the animal skin clothes on Ah Da in one move.
After he turned into a dry corpse, the animal skin clothes were easily ripped off, however, Tan Lang rummaged through his body, but did not find anything suspicious.
“Don’t look for it, it should be related to the bloodline.”
A look of certainty flashed in You Sinniang’s eyes, “If I’m not wrong, he unleashed some sort of bloodline sacrifice and sacrificed his life.”
The two men’s moods both sank, not realizing that in this Land of Extinct Spirits, such an ancient bloodline sacrifice method actually existed.
“Forget about that for now, follow that pedestrian of the village chief, perhaps we can find the answer.”
You Sinniang kicks the dried corpse to the bottom of the bed and pulls Tang Lang up to walk outside the village.
The two of them borrowed Xiao Jin’s assistance and easily followed the village chief’s party.
However, after receiving the news that Xiao Jin had sent back, You Sinniang frowned.
“There are three more different odors, there are others nearby.”
“Perhaps the other cultivators were equally suspicious and didn’t get hit, which is why they followed.”
Tan Lang looked calm, “There is no need to worry, at least in following the village this way, no one would choose to make a move.”
Chu Youtian lagged behind Xu Chuniang by half a step, he heard a subtle movement coming from behind him and slightly raised an eyebrow, “There are two people following up.”
Xu Chuniang listened carefully for a moment and whispered, “It’s that pair of evil cultivator couples.”
“How do you know?”
“Their footsteps were very close together.”
“In that case, our two footsteps are also very close together, so will they think that we are also Dao ……”
Feeling an icy line of sight, Chu Youtian snapped and swallowed the rest of that word, replacing it with another, “Friends.”
Although he had only been with this temporary teammate named Yan Wu for just a few days, he had already sensed that the other party’s nature was very cold during these few days together.
If not necessary, he would not say more than half a word.
The location where Chu You Tian teleported was very remote, so it was only three days ago that he finally felt his way into this village.
Originally, he had another teammate by his side, but that one had bad luck and died halfway.
In this land of extinct spirits, a few ferocious beasts could kill a cultivator.
He was able to last this long by relying on the spirit stones and talisman seals he had hidden close to him.
Chu Youtian had wanted to rely on the spirit stones to open his storage ring, but it was because in this hellish place, his body couldn’t even draw in aura.
Luckily, after crushing the spirit stone, the spirit qi within it was barely able to inspire the talisman seal.
