Chapter 701: Plundering Spiritual Energy
"Then it's my turn. I'll exchange my child!" Sister Zhang cried.
Others shook their heads. Sister Zhang had collapsed and didn't even understand the simplest truth: "Sister Zhang, the city lord wants to break through the Dan-breaking Infant stage. The spiritual energy he needs is enough to be collected from every household. What the city lord lacks now is enlightenment. This kind of enlightenment cannot be obtained by seeking, so he can only use magic methods."
"These children have not yet cultivated, and are closest to the innate body. Only by refining them can the city lord more easily comprehend the great way and achieve the Nascent Soul True Person. How can you replace your children?"
The parents of the other children seemed to have been infected by Sister Zhang and also cried and shouted that they did not want their children to be sacrificed.
The city lord frowned upon seeing this and used the Lion's Roar Technique to get them to be quiet.
The lion’s roar was so deafening that it made everyone’s ears ring and sway.
"Blood sacrifice is a tradition of Maple City. You don't understand the overall situation and disregard your ancestors' teachings. You only care about your children."
"Your child is unlucky and got picked. This is fate. We must learn to accept our fate!"
The city lord's words were very effective. Everyone calmed down and stopped making noise.
They knew that what the city lord said was right.
The deputy city lord looked up at the sun, counted with his fingers, and said, "City lord, it's time to sacrifice the child with blood."
The city lord nodded in a muffled voice, revealing a cold expression: "Let's begin..."
"etc!"
"Who!" The city lord frowned and felt murderous. He was very unhappy with this blood sacrifice ceremony and encountered obstacles everywhere.
"I." Qin Luan and Qi Sha Daozi said at the same time.
Qi Sha Daozi used his sword skills, the sword energy wiped out the blood that made up the formation and cut the ropes that bound the children.
The others quickly dispersed to leave enough space for the two.
"Who are you?" Seeing that the two men were strangers, the city lord did not attack them immediately.
He couldn't see through the cultivation levels of these two people, which meant that they were also in the Jindan stage.
The blood sacrifice ceremony could not proceed due to the obstruction of two Jindan stage masters.
"The wandering monk from Kyushu, Qin Luan."
"Seven Killers Daozi."
"Jiuzhou? Has anyone among you heard of this city?" The city lord asked the other four Jindan stage cultivators. The four shook their heads, none of them had ever heard of a place called Jiuzhou.
"A blatant blood sacrifice in broad daylight, is this your tradition?" Qin Luan asked sternly. The magic path had long disappeared from Jiuzhou. In his impression, the magic path had always been secretive and had not been as arrogant as that in Xuanming Continent.
"It's absolutely ridiculous!" Qi Sha Daozi echoed.
"Ridiculous? Do you think we are willing to offer a blood sacrifice? If there is no other choice, who would choose a blood sacrifice!" The city lord was furious at the questioning of the two.
"The spiritual energy is thin now. With Heming City as the leader, all the immortal cultivation cities are scrambling for spiritual energy in order to survive. If I don't break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and there is no one at the Nascent Soul stage in the city, it is possible that the city will be captured by people from other immortal cultivation cities tomorrow and all the spiritual energy will be plundered!"
Qin Luan and Qi Sha Daozi were stunned. They didn't expect this to be the reason.
They looked into the eyes of the people around them and found that others were not looking at them with gratitude, but with resentment.
Preventing the city lord from reaching the Nascent Soul stage is tantamount to waiting for people from other immortal cultivation cities to come and rob him without any defense.
Qin Luan and Qi Sha Daozi were a little at a loss. They thought that standing up would be a way of upholding justice, exposing evil and promoting good, and would be admired by everyone. However, instead of gaining admiration, they incurred resentment.
Suddenly, hearty laughter came from the top of the city.
"Haha, it turns out you haven't started the blood sacrifice yet!"
A cultivator emitting the aura of the Nascent Soul Stage stood on the top of the city wall, watching the blood sacrifice ceremony that was forced to stop, and laughed.
"I heard that you guys in Maple Leaf City were going to use a blood sacrifice ritual to feed a Nascent Soul cultivator, so I hurried over. I thought I was late, but I didn't expect you guys to be so slow and haven't even started yet."
"The Lord of Heming City!"
The Lord of Maple Leaf City broke out in a cold sweat. The Lord of Heming City was a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator. If he had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, the Lord of Heming City would not want to fight at the same level and would leave. But now there was no Nascent Soul in the city, so he could only wait for his spiritual energy to be plundered.
"Take a closer look at the city now. After today, Maple Leaf City will become a mortal city." The Lord of Heming City sneered. Maple Leaf City is a big piece of fat meat. It would be unjust not to snatch their spiritual energy.
Only those with spiritual energy can live there.
The Lord of Heming City released the pressure of his Nascent Soul to suppress everyone, and was about to set up a spirit gathering formation to collect spiritual energy.
"He's just a Nascent Soul cultivator. His cultivation is not high, but he's so arrogant." Qin Luan and Qi Sha Daozi also sneered. They had just done something wrong and now they had to find a way to make up for it.
Qin Luan and Qi Sha Daozi unleashed their cultivation, and their Spiritual Transformation Stage cultivation was clearly revealed.
"Come down!" Qin Luan used thunder magic, lightning and thunder flashed in the sky, and struck the lord of Heming City. The lord of Heming City fell from the top of the wall to the ground.
“The Spirit Transformation Stage!” The Lord of Maple Leaf City exclaimed. It was actually the legendary Spirit Transformation Stage.
Qi Sha Daozi drew his sword and put it on the neck of the Lord of Heming City: "I heard that it was your Heming City that plundered the spiritual energy of other cities?"
This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!
The Lord of Heming City was even more shocked than the Lord of Maple Leaf City. When did two cultivators in the Divine Transformation Stage appear in Xuanming Continent?
"Please spare my life, senior. We in Heming City had no choice but to do this." The Lord of Heming City knew he was no match for his opponent, so he knelt down and begged for mercy, telling the truth. He was afraid that Qi Sha Daozi would shake his hand and chop off his head.
"You two seniors are secluded from the world and have little reputation. I admire you. I thought that the only cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage on Xuanming Continent was True Lord Zhuzhu."
"The plundering of spiritual energy in Heming City was also caused by Master Zhuzhu."
"Zhuzhu Zhenjun's deadline has come. In order to break through the fusion stage, he needs to use a large amount of spiritual energy to impact his body."
"He doesn't have enough spiritual energy, so he ordered us, the Immortal Cultivation City in the Nascent Soul stage, to hand over a certain amount of spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy we hand over is not enough, he will wipe us out."
"We don't have enough spiritual energy in Heming City. In order to survive, we can only rob the immortal city that only has Jindan stage cultivators."
Qin Luan and Qi Sha Daozi exchanged a glance and asked tentatively, "There is no one behind Master Zhuzhu, right? There won't be another cultivator in the Fusion Stage jumping out to command Master Zhuzhu or something like that."
The Lord of Heming City quickly said, "No, no, definitely not. Where did Xuanming Continent get so much spiritual energy to cultivate two powerful people in the Fusion Stage?"
"Where is Master Zhuzhu?"
The Lord of Heming City told a direction, and Qin Luan and Qisha Daozi flew over.
Before leaving, Qi Sha Daozi left several sword pills to Maple Leaf City, asking them to protect themselves.
The sword pill contains sword energy, and one sword energy can kill a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
The Lord of Maple Leaf City was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude quickly. When everyone saw that the child did not have to die, they also kowtowed and knelt to express their gratitude.
The two found Master Zhuzhu, whose time was approaching.
True Lord Zhuzhu was asking for spiritual energy in a city of immortal cultivation. The spiritual energy given by the other party was not enough, so True Lord Zhuzhu became furious and wanted to destroy the city and kill people.
The two arrived in time and fought with Master Zhuzhu.
How could Master Zhuzhu, whose life span is waning, possibly be a match for the two candidates for the title of Human Emperor who are both upright and talented?
There were no variables. Qin Luan carried the lightning and Qi Sha Daozi burst out with sword energy. The two joined forces and killed Zhu Zhu Zhenjun.
However, the two did not feel better.
Although True Lord Zhuzhu is dead, there are still many Nascent Soul stage cultivators in Xuanming Continent whose deadline is approaching. These people will do inhumane things in order to break through.
"The disaster on Xuanming Continent was caused by insufficient spiritual energy. This matter is not something that the two of us can solve. We should record this matter and report it to the Human Emperor Palace. Please ask Mr. Jiang to make the decision."
