Chapter 134 - 134Chapter 124 Blood Sacrifice!_2
“Over there…how did they get there so fast!”
In this moment of hesitation, the middle-aged female Cultivator came to her senses, her mouth filled with resentment, spat out an Ocher Nail!
Shoo!
A flash of gold light streaked across.
The Incense-burning Dao Cultivator who got struck by the Ocher nail did not look at the middle-aged female Cultivator, but stared in astonishment at the young Pan cultivator.
His eyes seemed filled with confusion, then the look in his eyes rapidly faded.
Although the middle-aged female Cultivator had killed her opponent, she looked pale, as if she was greatly drained.
She glared resentfully at the young Pan cultivator: “Pan Long, why were you so slow! If it hadn’t been for your delay, I wouldn’t have had to use that move!”
The young Pan cultivator glanced uneasily at the fallen Incense-burning Dao Cultivator on the ground, then managed to squeeze out a smile:
“My mana… didn’t keep up…”
“Hmph, I told you to cultivate more mana on regular days, but you never listened!”
The middle-aged female Cultivator did not dwell on it, beckoning the nail on the Incense-burning Dao Cultivator’s head to return. With a look of disgust, she wiped off the red and white matter on the nail with her clothes, then swallowed it back.
She then cheerfully stuffed the body on the ground into her Storage Bag, casually and unnoticed slipped the other’s Storage Bag into her own sleeve. “Hurry up!”
At this time, the senior Huo elder frequently urged.
However, to his surprise, the frenzied believers around suddenly seemed to have received some sort of signal and retreated into the shadows.
In the blink of an eye, outside the ochre light curtain, it was deserted.
It was as if the scene of being surrounded was just an illusion.
“Strange, why did they all leave suddenly…”
The senior Huo elder looked puzzled.
The middle-aged female Cultivator appeared relieved and chuckled, “They must have seen that they can’t break Senior Brother Huo’s Heaven-covering Bowl, and without any options. Plus, I killed the Incense-burning Dao Cultivator and they lost their leader, naturally they fled in panic.”
Upon hearing this, the Huo elder shook his head, “There should be other Incense-burning Dao Cultivators here; I just don’t know why they didn’t appear…”
“There’s more?!”
The middle-aged female Cultivator was immediately startled and quickly went on guard.
Just then, under the dim light, two figures rushed out quickly.
They were instantly alert, their Magical Tools at the ready in their hands.
But the senior Huo elder quickly recognized who the other party was.
“Bu, Wang?”
The senior Huo elder and the middle-aged female Cultivator looked a little relieved; the young Pan cultivator followed behind, his eyes squinted slightly, sweeping discreetly between Bu Chan and Wang Ba.
In the end, his gaze rested on Bu Chan, his eyes showing a hint of wariness.
“Senior Brother Huo.”
Bu Chan took the lead in a salute, then expressed his concern, “Have the three of you encountered the Incense-burning Dao Cultivator?”
The middle-aged female Cultivator quickly responded:
“We did encounter them just now, but they managed to escape from us.”
Senior Brother Huo, a very cunning individual, instantly grasped the middle-aged female Cultivator’s intentions. Coughing abruptly, he demonstrated regret:
“The three of us had not even gotten a clear look at his face, we were about to take action when he surprised us with a feint. He tricked us all. Pan Long, wouldn’t you say?”
Upon hearing this, the young Pan cultivator was momentarily taken aback. He looked at the two of them weirdly, then quickly nodded his head.
Bu Chan frowned slightly when he heard this, “Strange, could 1 have guessed wrong?”
Senior Brother Huo asked in confusion, “Bu, what are you talking about?”
“Oh, nothing.”
Bu Chan shook his head, coming back to his senses, “We noticed on our way here that the people around have all been infected by the Incense-burning Dao. Senior Brother Huo, my senior brother and I are unsure how to handle this. Do you have any suggestions?”
“What’s there to hesitate about? Just conduct a blood sacrifice together…”
The young Pan cultivator, who had been silent all this while, suddenly chimed in.
The expression on Bu Chan’s face changed slightly.
However, Senior Brother Huo pondered for a moment and did not object.
He began to speak: “Since all the common folk in this place have already become followers of the Incense Fire Dao, then blood-sacrificing them does seem like a sound solution.”
“Not only that, the over ten thousands of residents here, once blood-sacrificed, could probably congeal a few upper grade Blood Method Pills’…”
“Hehe, by that time, everyone present will have a share!”
“Of course, we do need a witness to verify that all the common folk here are indeed followers of the Incense Fire Dao, to avoid any opportunity for others to find fault with us.”
Both Wang Ba and Bu Chan weren’t very clear about the effects of the ‘Blood Method Pill’.
Upon noticing Wang Ba’s confusion, Bu Chan immediately asked: “Senior Brother Huo, this little girl is slow, I have no idea, what kind of treasure is this Blood Method Pill?”
“Haha, the Blood Method Pill is a method in the Elixir Dao, created naturally using the Blood Sacrifice Array to collect a hint of spirituality from all living beings. It is particularly effective in replenishing and recovering mana, it is an invaluable treasure in times of battle!”
The elderly man surnamed Huo didn’t hide it and explained.
However, the young man surnamed Pan frowned and said:
“Senior Brother Huo, let’s quickly set up the Blood Sacrifice Array. In case that Incense-burning Dao Cultivator hasn’t left yet, we can also refine that Incense-burning Dao Cultivator to death.”
“Exactly! Let’s quickly set up the grand array!”
The middle-aged female cultivator also quickly regained her senses and urged eagerly.
The old man surnamed Huo, however, remained unperturbed: “An Incense-burning Dao Cultivator’s life indeed has worth, but before that, let’s get this contract signed.”
Saying so, he took out an eyeball from his Storage Bag and threw it into the sky.
Immediately, the eyeball flew up into the sky, capturing the entirety of Mengxing Villa below.
The panicked Incense Fire Dao’s followers fleeing below were reflected in the pupil.
Soon, the eyeball fell back down.
Immediately afterward, it emitted a faint light, unhurleding a sheet of light paper.
“Signing this contract means that we five are all in agreement that this place has completely fallen under the control of the Incense Fire Dao, and the killings are guiltless!”
“If you go against this reality, you shall suffer the heart-devouring of heavenly demons and die!”
Having said that, he was the first to pour all his mana and strength of soul into it.
A pattern quickly appeared on the light paper.
The middle-aged female cultivator didn’t hesitate and was the second to leave a mark on the light paper.
The young cultivator surnamed Pan hesitated for a moment and then retracted his hand after touching the light paper lightly.
Wang Ba and Bu Chan looked at each other, and then promptly left their marks on the paper as well.
Although it felt a bit cruel, for these common folk, it might actually be a form of liberation.
Soon, the light paper rolled up and shrank back into the eyeball.
Seeing this, the old man surnamed Huo immediately showed a satisfied smile and put it into his Storage Bag:
“This contract is both evidence and a certificate of merit. Killing so many followers of the Incense Fire Dao, even if it does not compare to killing an Incense-burning Dao Cultivator, is still a considerable merit!”
Soon after, he took out several flags from his Storage Bag.
He distributed them among the other four people.
“Let’s hurry and set the array flags. Bu and Wang, you two go south. Pan Long, Madam Xue, and I will go north.”
Then he taught Bu Chan and Wang Ba how to set up the Formation and its magical seal.
Bu Chan and Wang Ba both hesitated for a moment before quickly heading south.
Only the three people including the old man surnamed Huo remained in place.
Seeing Bu Chan and Wang Ba leave, the middle-aged female cultivator immediately gave the old man surnamed Huo a thumbs up:
“Senior Brother Huo, you are so clever! Once those two start setting up the array according to your instructions, once the array is activated, they will probably be sucked into the array immediately and become nourishment for the Blood Method Pill!”
“Hehe.”
Hearing the middle-aged female cultivator’s undisguised flattery, the old man surnamed Huo couldn’t help but reveal a self-satisfied smile: “The reward for killing an Incense-burning Dao Cultivator is indeed not small, but the share between five people is not as sweet as between three people.”
“Moreover, there are the Blood Method Pills… With the addition of these two people’s mana, there might be a chance to create a top-grade Blood Method Pill!”
“That is much better than the rewards from within the religion!”
“Madam Xue, Pan Long, as I have told you before, you can’t go wrong by following me!”
“Once the array is set up, we will refine those two people… In case the other Incense-burning Dao Cultivator is also inside… hehe, if we are lucky enough to create a top-grade Blood Method Pill, whether we sell it or keep it for ourselves, we’ll make a fortune!”
The middle-aged female cultivator nodded excitedly in agreement.
On the side, the cultivator surnamed Pan looked at the two of them, a barely perceptible strange gleam in his eyes..
