EBE Chapter 981: 'Heartfelt'
Chapter 981: 'Heartfelt'
"Just as you guessed." Fang Jinxing sighed slightly: "The demons are indeed planning something that will subvert the entire cultivation world."
Their world of cultivation and the demon clan have always been incompatible, and of course they have been wary of each other over the years.
"Xiao Xia, do you remember what we talked about before, about luck?"
Gu Xia nodded: "I remember, so it has something to do with this thing?"
If it were in the past, she might not believe in such mysterious things, but now, she has become an immortal and has no choice but to believe it.
"I wasn't sure before, after all, it was just a guess."
Fang Jinxing said: "But judging from what happened to you in the mermaid tribe this time, it should be true."
"The demons must be planning a blood sacrifice."
Several of the disciples who had never seen the world expressed shock: "What?"
"Blood sacrifice?"
"real or fake?"
Gu Xia was sandwiched between two sword-riding brothers, and his face almost distorted: "Why are you so excited? Do you know what a blood sacrifice is?"
The three sword cultivators were huddled together in mid-air, standing on their swords. Thanks to their superb sword-controlling skills developed from their regular flying, they were able to avoid the tragedy of beating their fellow disciples in time.
Ye Sui'an rolled his eyes. He was being led by Gu Xia, and he had the foresight to grab the other person's sleeve tightly, otherwise he would have been thrown out.
Xu Xingmu said confidently: "Of course... I don't know."
"But the atmosphere has come to this point, so shouldn't we express our opinions?" He smiled and said, "The master and the elders will explain it to us anyway, right?"
"..."
What he said made so much sense that she couldn't refute it for a moment.
Fang Jinxing turned his head and glanced at Elder Zhong Yi, "Seeing them like this, don't you have anything to say?"
"Huh?" He was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly reacted, raised his hand, clenched his fist and pounded his palm: "As expected of my disciples, they didn't fail in such a difficult sword-controlling posture, not bad, not bad."
“…Forget it.” There’s nothing to expect from this.
Shen Weixun couldn't help but wonder: "What is blood sacrifice? I've only heard of sacrifice."
Although I'm not sure what it is, I know from the name that it won't be a good thing.
Moreover, it was the demons who took great pains to create it, which makes it even more dangerous when you think about it.
"Of course you don't know this." Fang Jinxing coughed. How could a group of righteous disciples like them know such a thing? "To be precise, blood sacrifice is not much different from sacrifice. The only difference is——"
“This practice is even more cruel.”
His voice became heavy: "Take out the most important things from some monks or beasts, add a large amount of spiritual power, and then use secret methods. This method is called blood sacrifice."
"Of course, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it evil magic." Whether it is extracting the soul or any other means, no normal person can do it. Only those crazy people in the demon clan can do it.
Gu Xia hissed, "So that's why they're chasing after Xie Baiyi and Fourth Senior Brother and showing their 'heart and soul' to them?"
Everyone was shocked by her choice of words.
That's what I meant, but it just sounds so weird.
Fang Jinxing skillfully ignored her words and continued, "What's different about the demons this time is that they chose to attack almost all of them who possessed the power of destiny."
Heaven does not like the demons, so almost all the power of luck is tilted towards the human race. Races like the dragon and phoenix, which have the blood of divine beasts, naturally also take a portion of it.
The reason they attacked Xie Baiyi before was because he had the strongest luck among the human race, so the demons needed the spiritual bone in his body. After failing, they turned to attack Jiang Chaoxu because he was born into the mermaid race. The mermaid pearl in the body of the holder of the mermaid king's bloodline is of course one of the demons' targets.
"It's not just the mermaids." An elder flipped through a book in his hand with a serious look on his face. "We suspect that other beastmen have also fallen victim to their murderous hands over the years."
After all, considering how seriously the demons are taking this matter, it is very likely that they have been planning this for a long time. Although they have been at odds with the cultivation world in the past, they have never wanted to attack every few days like they do now.
And as far as they know, those tribes that have not appeared in public for a long time used to have some rumors about them, but they have gradually become silent in the past hundred years.
Among them, the dragon clan, which is the absolute number one ancient mythical beast, is nowhere to be found. The only one that can be seen in the world of cultivation is the little black dragon that Gu Xia contracted.
I heard that it was just an egg when she picked it up. The dragon clan doesn't seem to be the type to throw away their cubs so easily.
Ye Sui'an smacked his lips slightly: "What is their purpose in doing this?"
"Challenging the Way of Heaven." Fang Jinxing replied: "It is recorded in the library that if the demons were allowed to use these objects of destiny to complete the blood sacrifice, then it would be possible to overturn the Way of Heaven and re-establish the laws of this world."
"It is well known that the demons cannot withstand the thunder of the ascending sky. This is the shackles of the laws of heaven on them. Thousands of years have passed, and they have long resented this."
This makes sense. After being suppressed for so many years, the demons must have long wanted to trample on the Heavenly Dao, which posed too great a threat to them.
And there is no need to even think about what the world of cultivation would become if they really succeeded. Are you kidding me? Can the way of heaven be overturned so easily?
Everything in the world has rules. If something goes wrong with the way things are, the world will probably collapse.
Several people also realized the seriousness of the matter. Shen Weixun couldn't help but ask: "So the five sects have only just discovered that those tribes are not hiding from the world... but more likely dead?"
Clans like the dragon and the mermaid are different from the monsters in the demon clan. They each have their own leader, and the Demon King has no right to control them.
Therefore, it is said that they no longer often appeared in the world of cultivation many years ago, and rumors about them are almost non-existent.
If the demons really had planned to attack them in advance, it would have been easy to succeed, but I don't know how they did it. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Heaven to sit idly by and watch them massacre and do nothing.
How can you avoid the world but end up avoiding yourself?
Fang Jinxing blushed slightly: "No one thought about it in this way at the beginning." The main reason was that the demons had always wanted to occupy the world of cultivation and they originally thought that it was no different from the past. It was not until the incident at the Phoenix Falls Land that they realized that there was something fishy going on.
"I have a question." Gu Xia paused: "What about Qu Yimian?" As the heroine of the original book, her luck power is naturally not bad, and compared with others, the demons would not take her weak strength seriously at all.
Elder Zhong Yi didn't care: "With her brain, it's probably easy to coax the demons. She thought the demons were good things. When they succeed, when Qu Yimian is no longer useful, her fate will be worse than others."
The demons have no sincerity at all. They will only squeeze all the value out of the other party, and then abandon her without hesitation when the blood sacrifice comes.
What's more, although the situation of other races is just speculation, it is certain that Xie Baiyi was not defeated by them. The demons will either make a comeback or choose other substitutes.
"We have already sent people to investigate with the other sects. I will tell you the details after you return. The most important thing now is to find out where your brother has been taken."
