Chapter 905 - 292: The Blood Sacrifice Begins (Part 6)
Zhang Zeduan, with his sole eye, vaguely saw a hint of relieved smile from his gaze.
"Jingqing..."
As soon as he spoke, Zhang Jingqing, who had been disintegrated by the so-called "Light of Annihilation" to only half of his body, suddenly had a three-inch small sword like white jade emerge from his brow.
The next moment, the White Jade Sword made a turn in the air, directly plunging into his own head!
"Soul-Slaying Sword?"
Xu Xiu, who was leisurely fishing, frowned slightly upon seeing that Zhang Jingqing’s Divine Spirit had been completely obliterated.
"Careless."
"I didn’t expect this child to show such a fierce courage."
A mere Golden Core wouldn’t cause any significant waves in his eyes.
So, after capturing Zhang Jingqing, he only imprisoned his body and magical power, never thinking that Zhang Jingqing would still possess a Soul Skill.
On the other side, witnessing his own son destroy his Divine Spirit with the Soul-Slaying Sword Secret Skill, Zhang Zeduan’s eyes suddenly went wide with anger!
"Xu Xiu, you old dog!"
"I use my True Spirit to curse you, never to find the Daying Immortal Mansion for the rest of your life!!"
Resentful voices echoed throughout the valley.
Xu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, then waved to send a Spirit Light, returning Zhang Zeduan’s body to the small yard.
He knew that Zhang Jingqing’s death had already angered Zhang Zeduan completely.
It was clearly impossible to extract any information about the Daying Immortal Mansion from him again.
"No rush..."
"With the Dao Source Secret Realm built, I’ll move the Secret Realm to that sea region."
"I’ll see then where you can hide the Immortal Mansion."
...
Yangnao Land, Western Wilderness.
Even with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, Luo Tianxing waved his hand and abducted all the over ten thousand Western Wilderness Barbarian Cultivators below.
During this time, he had been scavenging for sacrifices in various city walls in Yangnao Land, but never set foot in the Western Wilderness.
Ultimately, he knew the Barbarians in the Western Wilderness were descendants of the Dragon Taming Clan.
Back then, Master Dragon Taming was falsely accused and beaten by Great Prosperity True Monarch until his soul was scattered, and all direct bloodline clan members were also exterminated.
Unexpectedly, those clan members of the Dragon Taming Clan who were driven to the Western Wilderness for failing to gain recognition from Dragon Beasts were preserved by chance.
After countless years of development, these Dragon Taming Clan members in the Western Wilderness probably forgot their past identities.
Among the Yangnao Seven Sons, Master Dragon Taming was famously kind, heroic in nature, and gentle in disposition.
If not for this, the Yangnao Seven Sons back then wouldn’t have listened to his persuasion, cooperating with Great Prosperity True Monarch, in plotting this grand scheme of heaven and earth.
In the Seventy-Two Cangmin Realms, not all Nascent Soul True Monarchs were willing to strive for a realm’s Dao Source, to create a prison to confine themselves and survive within.
The Yangnao Seven Sons once agreed back then, to venture into the chaotic flow outside the Cangming Sea Region when their longevity reached the brink.
If they managed to get out, all would be well, but if they failed and perished, they couldn’t blame anyone.
At least they didn’t want to destroy the lands of Yangnao.
But later, Master Dragon Taming was sent to persuade them again, the remaining six sons couldn’t resist the camaraderie nor the generosity of Great Prosperity True Monarch, who presented the Daying Immortal Mansion, sharing his grand vision.
After simply comprehending the Immortal Mansion, they also felt if Xu Xiu’s plan truly succeeded, it might change the situation of the Cangmin Sea Region, creating a different type of Dao Source Secret Realm.
By then, they’d be hailed as saviors of the cultivation realm in the Cangmin Sea Region, remembered by all cultivators even if they perished.
At least, Luo Tianxing thought this way back then.
But later developments gradually slipped out of their control.
Master Dragon Taming was slain, his Divine Spirit obliterated.
Sword Holder True Master Yuhai was fiercely resolute, ready to die.
Over the years, Luo Tianxing felt regret for not saving them back then.
When capturing sacrifices this time, he naturally didn’t want to touch the Dragon Taming Clan’s bloodline.
But with the demise already past, when Yangnao Land faces collapse, these Dragon Taming Clan members in the Western Wilderness are also doomed.
Luo Tianxing had already realized it, sacrificing part of the Dragon Taming Clan’s bloodline for a favor from the Shen Family, so after Dao’s collapse, the Shen Family might preserve some Dragon Taming Clan lineage.
As for himself, he’d rather not.
If choosing to bring the Dragon Taming Clan members to Beichen Immortal Mountain, after his lifespan ends, their power couldn’t possibly guard a Dao Source Secret Realm.
"It should be enough."
Determining that the sacrifices he captured were nearly sufficient, Luo Tianxing vanished from the Western Wilderness sky in a flash.
Above Zhili County, Luo Tianxing’s figure appeared, casting a stream of light into the void in front.
"I’ve gathered enough sacrifices, the ritual can begin."
As his voice settled, the twisted void in front suddenly trembled.
In the next moment, Qi Buyu, in a dark purple luxurious robe, stepped out of the void.
Upon appearing, Qi Buyu looked somewhat perplexed at Luo Tianxing, saying: "Are you sure you’ve captured enough, Brother Luo?"
"You should not tally with Danzhou cultivators or regular common people, otherwise the lord would surely be angry."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing mocked coldly:
"Do you think I’m stupid?"
"You can see for yourself if it’s enough."
Saying this, Luo Tianxing threw over a heavy bag engraved with gold patterns.
Qi Buyu took the bag, scanned it with Divine Sense, and smiled.
"I was wondering how Brother Luo resolved it, turns out some descendants of the Dragon Tamers were captured to make up the numbers."
"Oh well, they are to die eventually, might as well use them."
"Hope the spirit(s) of Dragon Taming won’t blame us."
"Oh... that’s incorrect, Dragon Taming’s spirit scattered, it’s not applicable."
"You talk too much nonsense," Luo Tianxing replied coldly.
He knew the old wretch was deliberately disgusted him with constant mentions of "Dragon Taming."
Seeing Luo Tianxing show signs of anger, Qi Buyu could only discontentedly shut his mouth.
Among the gathering back then, apart from Great Prosperity True Monarch, Luo Tianxing’s power was the strongest, he certainly didn’t want to fully enrage him now and receive a beating.
"Will Brother Luo or I perform the ritual?"
Pulling out a similarly heavy bag from behind, Qi Buyu asked with a half-smile.
Luo Tianxing gazed deeply at him, said nothing, and walked directly into the distance through the void.
Seeing Luo Tianxing’s reaction, Qi Buyu sneered and shook his head.
He then activated formulas with his hands, opening both bags simultaneously.
In an instant, a large number of cultivators and living beings were released, densely covering the sky above Zhili County!
These cultivators, muddle-headed and trapped for a long time, suddenly seeing daylight again, each tried their best to flee.
However, their meager Dao practice was nothing before a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Qi Buyu gently waved his sleeves, two strands of Spiritual Power instantly swept across the crowd densely packed in the void.
In the blink of an eye, all the living beings in the void burst into blood mist!
The blood mist shrouded the sky for hundreds of miles like clouds, engulfing the skies over Zhili County.
Qi Buyu formed formulas with his hands, thoroughly stirring the condensed blood mist, forming a massive, slowly rotating blood-colored vortex.
