Back Mountain of Azure Feather Holy Land
"Is everyone here?"
Lu Yangzi looked at the small groups of people in front of him and asked.
The dim lighting made it difficult for everyone to see their surroundings. It was pitch black, and everyone could smell a faint stench of blood, mixed with a musty odor.
Clearly, this spot hadn't been used for a long time, so much so that the equipment was covered in a thick layer of dust.
After Lu Yangzi spoke, Zhao Liujia, using the dim light, looked around at everyone and said, "Everyone's here. Including me, there are five of us."
Lu Yangzi nodded, his expression unusually solemn in the darkness. "In that case, let's begin."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Liujia and the others all revealed a burning light in their eyes, exchanging glances and seeing the deep desire hidden in their eyes.
Clearly, the sacrifice to the evil god, though considered the highest-level secret of the Azure Feather Holy Land, was an open secret among the people, not a secret at all.
It's possible to rise to the top in one step, or even to become an enviable saintly warrior.
If this changes our destiny, then this is the moment to make a difference.
They are still young people after all, and it's inevitable that they would get excited when faced with something like this.
Lu Yangzi could also see what everyone was thinking. Even though he couldn't see their faces at the moment, he could still tell that they were happy.
He coughed to draw everyone's attention before saying, "Let's begin."
Zhao Liujia nodded emphatically.
A strange light suddenly ignited along the wall.
An eerie light illuminated the empty space; it was a cave, the surrounding hard stone walls gleaming with a cold, sharp edge.
In the very center of the cave, there was a large, pitch-black cauldron. But beneath the cauldron, instead of firewood, were rows of white skeletons, creating an eerie and terrifying sight.
"hiss!"
This was the first time anyone had witnessed such a terrifying scene, and they couldn't help but shudder. They had only heard about it before, but now they were seeing it for themselves, and a chill ran from the soles of their feet straight to their brains.
Zhao Liu gasped and took several steps back before regaining his balance.
His pupils contracted slightly.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but feel scared after seeing it. The fear of facing that terror was far beyond what could be described in words.
Seeing the fascinating expressions on everyone's faces, Lu Yangzi smiled.
When he first saw this scene, his reaction was similar to theirs; he seemed completely naive and unsophisticated.
To be honest, it was indeed terrifying. Even though he had seen it several times now, he still couldn't stop sweating and felt a little scared.
The visual impact was too stunning.
He steadied himself and then waved his hand.
splash ...
Suddenly, a hole appeared in the hard stone wall closest to the cauldron, revealing a hidden door.
Lu Yangzi walked to the hidden door and pressed his handprint on a bumpy spot.
The door slowly opened.
"Waaaaah... Daddy, Mommy, I'm scared."
"Waaaaah... This place is so scary..."
A cacophony of cries and screams erupted, and upon closer inspection, the small, hidden door was found to be packed with a dense crowd of people.
They were like livestock, surrounded by a blood-red fence, chained around their necks, filthy and barely clothed.
Zhao Liujia and his companions showed no change in expression upon seeing this scene.
Sacrifices to evil gods have always been bloody, obtained through bloodshed and sacrifice.
Everyone was already mentally prepared for this.
Lu Yangzi nodded slightly, then waved his hand, and immediately the people inside the stone gate let out heart-wrenching screams, as if someone was forcibly tearing their limbs apart.
It was like a living hell.
Zhao Liujia and his companions were still young at heart and couldn't stand the sight. Some of them had already closed their eyes, but the sounds still echoing in their ears made their minds a bit chaotic.
"Open your eyes and look carefully; this is a step you must take."
At that moment, Lu Yangzi's voice rang out.
Amidst the wailing and howling, everyone opened their eyes, their faces stiffening for a moment, but they slowly recovered.
Zhao Liujia, his face pale, asked, "My Lord, how much longer?"
He seemed to be reaching his limit, having reached the limit of his willpower.
Lu Yangzi smiled slightly and said, "It will be soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand upwards, and instantly, a tremendous force swept out from above those people who were like livestock.
The screams and cries reached their climax at this moment.
In no time, white ghosts floated out from above these people's heads.
After these white ghosts appeared, the expressions that were just moments before filled with terror were now blank, their eyes lifeless, as if they had lost all their luster in an instant.
White ghosts floated in the sky, and now they gathered densely on top of them.
"These are their three souls and seven spirits. After refining them, your cultivation will greatly improve. As for whether you can break through this chasm, that depends on your fate."
Lu Yangzi pointed to the dense white ghosts in the sky and spoke.
Zhao Liujia and the others immediately became eager.
Looking at those white ghosts, he no longer felt fear, but rather excitement.
In their eyes, those things were not like terrifying ghosts, but rather steps that could help them improve their cultivation.
Everyone's breathing became heavy at that moment.
Seeing this, Lu Yangzi slowly walked out.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, he sensed the stench of blood behind him, and his brows furrowed involuntarily. Finally, he shook his head, casting aside any further thoughts.
He muttered, "Fine, fine, I'll let them off easy this time. Once the crisis in the Azure Feather Holy Land is over and I've secured my position, you... will all become my lambs."
At this point, he couldn't help but burst into excited laughter.
At that time, even the Saint King realm would probably be no match for them.
Thinking of this, the light in his eyes became even more intense.
He took a step, and his figure vanished from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was already thousands of miles away.
Just then, Lu Yangzi suddenly sensed an unfamiliar presence not far away. His mind immediately raced, and after recalling the fates of Yang Zhifeng, Zhao Quan, and the others, he realized that someone must have come to assassinate him.
A smirk crept across his lips as he sneered and cut to the chase: "Is the visitor from Wentian Tower?"
The unfamiliar atmosphere dissipated at that moment.
Are you scared?
Lu Yangzi, however, showed no sign of letting his guard down. His body was still surrounded by a vast spiritual energy, and the pressure from the powerful Saint-level expert enveloped everything.
