After arriving at the temporary residence arranged by the Blood Demon Sect, Di Yu snorted at Feng Shao, "You stinky boy, you dare to insult me, right? Do you believe that I will break your legs?"
Feng Shao quickly apologized: "Senior Di, please don't blame me. I just acted in an emergency. Please don't hold it against me."
Lin Xiaoran pulled Di Yu's arm and said coquettishly, "Aunt Di, Brother Shao has no other choice but to do this! Don't be angry!"
Di Yu glared at Feng Shao with a bad look, and said unhappily: "If it weren't for Ran'er pleading for you, I would have taught you a lesson!"
After saying that, Di Yu turned away.
Feng Shaoze and Lin Xiaoran looked at each other and smiled.
Han Biyun couldn't help but said to Feng Shao worriedly: "Brother Feng, I think the Blood Demon Patriarch seems to have really broken through the limit of his lifespan. What should we do now?"
The Blood Demon Ancestor didn't look like he was dying, but rather like he was rejuvenated. This made Han Biyun subconsciously think that the Blood Demon Ancestor must have made a breakthrough, which made her feel very confused. This was also the reason why she hadn't said much just now.
Speaking of this, Feng Shao shook his head, his expression suddenly becoming serious: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."
Han Biyun and Lin Xiaoran both looked at Feng Shao in confusion.
Feng Shao stood up and looked at the Blood Demon Sect's headquarters outside the door, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the Blood Demon Patriarch has indeed made a breakthrough. But after entering the mountain gate, did you smell the bloody smell that permeated the entire Blood Demon Sect?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoran nodded thoughtfully: "I had always thought that the air in the Blood Demon Sect was just not very good, but after hearing what Brother Shao said, it seems that there is indeed a bloody smell."
Han Biyun was startled, then asked, "Senior Brother Feng, are you saying that the Blood Demon Ancestor used a forbidden technique to restore his life span?"
Feng Shao said in a deep voice: "I'm not sure, but Senior Di should have verified it. If the Blood Demon Ancestor really did this, then Senior Di will also take action."
Lin Xiaoran and Han Biyun's faces changed when they heard this.
If Di Yu needs to take action, then things might become a bit troublesome.
The "forbidden arts" that Han Biyun refers to are certain evil arts that are not tolerated by the world, such as sacrificing living people. The reason why the magic sects are not tolerated by the righteous is because this kind of evil arts is prevalent in the magic sects.
However, under normal circumstances, the evil sects would not easily use this kind of evil magic, because it means that they are touching the sensitive nerves of the righteous sects.
Normally, although there are constant conflicts between the righteous and evil sects, and there are casualties from time to time, real direct conflicts are actually very rare. Although the righteous sects are committed to exorcising evil and correcting righteousness, slaying demons and eliminating evil, they still have to give priority to the development of the sect. If the sect cannot develop, what is the use of being full of righteousness? Therefore, many times, the righteous sects will try their best to avoid full-scale conflicts with the evil sects.
As for local conflicts, just treat them as military training, nothing serious.
Under the tacit understanding of both sides, the probability of a full-scale war is actually very small. No one would lightly start a war without an absolute certainty of defeating the other side. Therefore, the good and evil sides have been maintaining a delicate balance, and there has not been a scene of millions of corpses and blood flowing.
However, there is a prerequisite for this balance, which is that no one should cross the bottom line.
The Demonic Sects were relatively easy to deal with, as they had basically no bottom line. In some ways, the Demonic Sects didn't really care what the Righteous Sects had done. Generally, the Righteous Sects were the ones who were looking for trouble, while the Demonic Sects mainly responded to the challenge.
But why is this happening? The reason is simple, that is, the demon sects often cross the bottom line of the righteous sects!
For example:
If a righteous person massacres a village, as long as they are not from the evil way, then in the eyes of the evil way sect, it is a normal operation. Besides, the village has nothing to do with them, so they don't bother to meddle in other people's business.
But if the demons massacred a village, that would be a different matter! In the eyes of the righteous sect, you are killing innocent people! As a righteous sect, we must enforce justice and punish you!
Maybe some people think that the devil is honest and the righteous is hypocritical, but it is not the case at all. The reason for the difference between the two is that the righteous has moral values, while the devil has no moral values. Although life is as insignificant as an ant to a cultivator, human emotions cannot be completely ignored. When a person completely loses his compassion, he will naturally not feel that the life and death of others has anything to do with him.
Just as we are outraged today when someone denies the existence of the Holocaust, even though we have not experienced that catastrophe, we cannot tolerate such behavior that regards human life as worthless.
This is the difference between good and evil.
Therefore, the behavior of the demons who ignore the righteous is not honest, but they have no moral concept at all. Words like bravery and righteousness are distant legends to them.
Having said that, although the Blood Demon Sect is a demon sect, the righteous sect does not care much as long as they do not do anything too outrageous. But if the Blood Demon Patriarch started a blood sacrifice in order to prolong his life, it would be like lighting the fuse!
Anyone can kill him!
Feng Shao had read many classics and understood the characteristics of this kind of blood sacrifice. In order to extend the life of a cultivator like the Blood Demon Ancestor who was in the God Transformation Realm, at least tens of thousands of civilians would have to be sacrificed. If the Blood Demon Sect really did this, then the Yunjian Pavilion, as a member of the righteous path, could not sit idly by. Therefore, if this was confirmed, then Di Yu would have to take action himself and destroy the entire Blood Demon Sect.
——————————
That night, a disciple came to the residence of the Blood Demon Ancestor and knocked on the door gently.
After a moment, the Blood Demon Ancestor's voice came from inside: "Come in!"
The disciple opened the door, bowed respectfully to the Blood Demon Ancestor, and said, "Master, the formation is ready, and we can start at any time."
The Blood Demon Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled: "Oh? Then did Feng Shao and the others notice anything unusual?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master, no."
“Very good!” The Blood Demon Ancestor’s face showed a fanatical look, and his tone was filled with madness and joy, “God is really helping me! At this critical moment, a cultivator from the Great Purity Realm was sent to me! Now that he’s here, don’t leave!”
"But..." The disciple hesitated, "Master, if we do this, will it anger the Yunjian Pavilion?"
The Blood Demon Patriarch pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh? Why do you say that?"
The disciple thought: Isn't this asking a question even though you already know the answer?
He said, "Sect Master, it is rumored that Di Yu is one of the elders of Yunjian Pavilion, and Lin Xiaoran is the only daughter of the Pavilion Master of Yunjian Pavilion. If they die here, there is no reason for Yunjian Pavilion to sit idly by, right?"
The Blood Demon Ancestor nodded: "Well, you are right, they will not sit idly by."
The disciple asked anxiously, "But if we anger the Yunjian Pavilion, won't the sect be in great trouble?"
The Blood Demon Patriarch smiled and said, "You are right. It will indeed bring disaster to the sect. The destruction of the entire clan should be the least of it, right?"
The disciple stared at the Blood Demon Ancestor, dumbfounded. He had a bold guess in his mind, but it was too scary, so he didn't dare to even think about it, let alone say it out loud.
But then, the Blood Demon Patriarch spoke out the thought in his heart that he dared not say or think: "But whether the Blood Demon Sect is destroyed or not, what does it have to do with me?"
The disciple felt a chill in his heart.
But before he could say anything, the Blood Demon Ancestor suddenly stretched out his hand, and the disciple immediately flew towards the Blood Demon Ancestor involuntarily, and was then grabbed by the neck by the Blood Demon Ancestor.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. Actually, you are also part of this formation!"
These were the last words the disciple heard.
With a "click", the disciple's consciousness fell into darkness.
The Blood Demon Patriarch threw the corpse on the ground and strode out of the room. He looked at the sky full of stars and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, he has been preparing for this blood sacrifice formation for three years.
Three years ago, he left the world in the name of seclusion. But behind the scenes, he secretly instructed the disciples of the sect to collect the materials needed for the blood sacrifice formation and set up the blood sacrifice formation throughout the Blood Demon Sect.
The Blood Demon Ancestor knew that it was impossible for him to complete the Blood Demon Sutra with his own qualifications. So from the beginning, his plan was not to use cultivation to improve his realm and prolong his life.
His original plan was to use all the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect as blood sacrifice materials, absorbing their blood and qi to improve his own cultivation. Although the Blood Demon Sect had fewer people, they were all cultivators, and there were even three in the Spiritualization Realm. With so many people contributing their blood and qi, it was enough for him to break through to the Hedao Realm.
Some time ago, the Blood Demon Sect was plotting to attack Mount Taiwei, and the Blood Demon Ancestor also knew about it. For him, this was a great opportunity, so he took advantage of the time when the three elders left the sect to set up the entire blood sacrifice formation. Next, he only needed to wait for Weng Jiao and the others to return with the Blood Demon Sect disciples and the captives of the Taiwei Sect, and then he could start the blood sacrifice formation and extend his life!
But what he never expected was that Weng Jiao and others would all be captured by Taiwei Sect!
This greatly disappointed the Blood Demon Ancestor, and he had no choice but to find some civilians from the surrounding villages and towns to make up the numbers.
But not long after, new changes occurred one after another.
The first unexpected thing was that Qingyangzi actually came over.
How could the Blood Demon Ancestor, who had just temporarily recovered his strength by absorbing some of the blood and energy of the civilians, be polite to Qing Yangzi? He took Qing Yangzi down on the spot.
Afterwards, he suddenly had an idea and thought that perhaps he could use the disciples of Taiwei Sect to supplement the blood sacrifice formation, so he wrote a letter and sent it to Taiwei Mountain.
Then, the second incident happened. There was actually a great master from the Taiqing realm coming from the Taiwei Sect!
This is a great tonic!
The Blood Demon Ancestor almost laughed out loud when he saw Di Yu.
If you don't take what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences. Since God has sent you here, why should you be polite?
Therefore, the Blood Demon Ancestor decided to start the blood sacrifice formation tonight!
