Chapter 785 - 429. Great Xia’s enemy is the Qing yang Demon
He walked to the first woman, the scalpel in his hand dancing with agile grace.
The sharp blade swept across the skin surface repeatedly at an incredibly fast pace.
Each time leaving a shallow wound, while the woman cried out and begged for mercy, her body fiercely struggling.
But no matter how she struggled, the doctor in the white coat's scalpel could always precisely sweep across without being disturbed.
Even laypeople could see this was a very advanced technique; the doctor in the white coat must be a Superpower User.
Half a minute later.
The five sacrifices were already covered in wounds, with hundreds of cuts on each body.
These wounds brought enough pain, yet the actual damage was very small, far from being lethal.
Clearly, this was a terrifying torture.
Strands of blood flowed from the victims, strangely forming bloody patterns.
The blood flowed down, slowly gathering around the human face mask.
The human face mask moved almost imperceptibly, revealing an expression of extreme pleasure.
The doctor in the white coat picked up the scalpel and shockingly licked it with his tongue.
Wen Zehan couldn't help but curse secretly: "What a freaking pervert!"
The researcher also discovered that the content on the screen matched what the Ghost Lord had described as a blood sacrifice process.
The satellite tracking information showed that this was the first time the Scarlet Claw blood sacrifice appeared on Canglan Star.
Logically speaking, the Ghost Lord couldn't possibly have contact with such a blood sacrifice, so how did he know so much about it?
Soon enough.
The footage ended.
Wen Zehan couldn't help but shake his head, wanting to shake off the cries of the female sacrifices.
He steadied himself, connected with the starlight through his mind, and said, "Mr. Ghost, the location of the human face mask altar is shrouded by a certain power, so I can only sense a general area.
"But the Satellite Star Formation search revealed the identity of the white doctor holding the scalpel; this guy is indeed a doctor named Matra."
Wen Zehan briefly conveyed some information, then transmitted it through the link.
After a moment.
Yang Fan's surprised voice came through: "This altar is actually in Fire Phoenix City in the southern Carmenia Federation? I thought all altars were at the headquarters in White Stone, located at the Federation capital on the Mount of Gods."
Wen Zehan replied, "The Carmenians are more cunning than we thought. These altars are probably not just within the borders of the Carmenia Federation but likely spread across all continents on Canglan Star. There might even be a few hidden on the East Continent."
Yang Fan agreed: "Makes sense."
He paused for a moment, then continued in a deep voice: "I strongly suspect that new mysterious race visitors have likely already appeared in Fire Phoenix City, and even the Carmenians themselves don't know."
The so-called "mysterious race visitors" are undoubtedly the Qing yang Demon Race.
Wen Zehan was first startled, then suddenly understood: "This is indeed possible; the essence of the Scarlet Claw is Soul Power.
"From an energy perspective, it shouldn't require consuming so many sacrifices to create a single Scarlet Claw at the altar.
"The Qing yang Demon Race has most likely tampered with it, intercepting most of the energy, and they could use this energy to enter Canglan Star."
Yang Fan acknowledged with a sound: "I previously thought that Great Xia only faced the true form of the Demon Knight from Demon Monster Wan Shan, but now it seems this knight leads a group of demons.
"It is very cautious, not recklessly entering Canglan Star, but instead sending an unknown number of demons to sneak in.
"The current signs suggest these demons chose to infiltrate the Carmenia Federation internally.
"Perhaps some of the Federation's high-level officials and leaders of the Mount of Gods have already been quietly replaced by demons."
Initially, he had planned to wait until the Demon Knight descended and confront it directly at the rift gate.
Now he suddenly realized he had underestimated the demons.
Wen Zehan listened with a heavy expression: "Indeed, the Carmenia Federation is more dangerous than we anticipated."
Yang Fan changed the topic, adding: "Mr. Wen, thank you for your hard work!"
Wen Zehan sincerely replied: "I'm just helping out a bit, there's really no danger, and it can't even be considered hard work.
"You and Mr. Spirit Crows face these dangerous things daily; you are the ones who truly work hard."
Yang Fan replied again: "It's not dangerous, besides, we're used to it!"
Wen Zehan sat in the study for a while, not noticing any unusual activity, then got up and went downstairs.
These days, his daughter Wen Xiaoya was visiting with his granddaughter, and at this moment, she was playing in the living room with her granddaughter.
"Grandpa!"
The little girl called out sweetly.
Wen Zehan responded with a smile, reaching out to pick up his granddaughter.
Wen Xiaoya asked, "Dad, are you done with your work?"
Wen Zehan shook his head: "It's going to be a while!"
Looking at his daughter, he suddenly felt a deep emotion: "We are able to live such a stable life now, all thanks to the heavy burden carried by powerful individuals like Mr. Ghost and Mr. Spirit Crows."
Imagine if Great Xia did not have these two lords holding the fort, would the tragedy that happened to those five sacrifices happen to a large number of Great Xia People?
Of course, it would!
The Carmenians have already become so heartless that kidnapping a group of Great Xia People as sacrifices wouldn't mean much to them.
But because of concerns about Mr. Ghost and Mr. Spirit Crows, fearing the retaliation of the two superpowers, they don't dare target Great Xia People for blood sacrifices.
Perhaps some Great Xia People have become victims, but the number would be pitifully small.
Wen Xiaoya could not understand her father's feelings and just echoed absentmindedly: "Yes."
