Under the cover of night, Di Yu's figure was looming in the Blood Demon Sect's headquarters.

From the moment he sensed the bloody smell, Di Yu could no longer stay out of it. As a member of the righteous path, he could not stand idly by and watch the blood sacrifice. But before taking action, he had to find evidence that the Blood Demon Sect was indeed conducting a blood sacrifice.

But this is not a difficult task for Di Yu.

After a few flashes, Di Yu arrived at the back of Sheya Mountain. She stood on a hilltop, looking far into a valley a few miles away.

The source of the bloody smell is right there.

She detected the surrounding atmosphere and found that there were many Blood Demon Sect disciples patrolling around. Obviously, the Blood Demon Sect also attached great importance to this area and would not allow anyone to easily set foot there.

However, although there were many patrolling people, it was not a problem for Di Yu.

Di Yu merged his energy into the space between heaven and earth, and then quickly flew towards the valley.

Cultivators have many ways of detecting, and searching for Qi is the most commonly used and most reliable. There are many ways to hide one's body, but hiding Qi can only be done by cultivators above the Taiqing Realm. And Di Yu happens to be a cultivator of the Taiqing Realm.

Not long after, Di Yu flew over the valley. She closed her eyes, explored carefully, then opened her eyes and locked onto a corner deep in the valley.

The bloody smell came from there.

Di Yu flew into the valley without hesitation.

The valley was filled with miasma. If ordinary people accidentally entered it, they would be poisoned to death in an instant. But for Di Yu, this miasma was just a little uncomfortable and would not cause much impact. Passing through the fog, through the vague vision, Di Yu found the ultimate source of the bloody smell and walked over without hesitation.

A moment later, a huge pit with a radius of several hundred meters appeared in front of her. When she saw the situation in the pit clearly, her pupils shrank involuntarily.

What a horrible hell scene it was in the pit!

Tens of thousands of corpses were lying in all directions at the bottom of the pit, and judging from their clothing, they were all ordinary mountain people. Among them were young men in their twenties and thirties, elderly people in their fifties and sixties, and even newborn babies!

Their faces were filled with fear, resentment, unwillingness, anger, pain, etc., which made them look particularly hideous. They opened their eyes wide, with a nostalgia for life and hatred for the executioner, and refused to close their eyes until the moment of death!

Di Yu secretly grasped the hilt of the sword.

Obviously, this is the center of the blood sacrifice formation. The Blood Demon Ancestor was able to rejuvenate at the cost of the lives of these civilians!

This damn witchcraft!

Di Yu took a deep breath, and a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Very good, now that the evidence is in front of us, it’s time to start killing!

However, at this moment, Di Yu suddenly felt something strange and raised his head. He saw that the sky above the valley had turned dark red since some time ago, and even the dim moonlight had turned into a blood moon. Di Yu was startled, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good. He raised his hand and a sword energy shot straight into the sky!

The fiery red sword energy collided with the sky, making a loud bang. The bloody sky shook slightly under the collision, but it was not damaged at all.

Di Yu's actions attracted the attention of the Blood Demon Sect's disciples. They rushed over shouting, wanting to get rid of the intruder. But when they saw Di Yu, they suddenly became silent, and without a second thought, they turned around and ran!

Are you kidding me? How could they have the guts to fight against a powerful person in the Taiqing Realm?

But after running a few steps, they felt something was wrong.

Their legs, which should have been able to move quickly, now seemed to be filled with lead, making it extremely difficult to move. Not only that, they could also clearly feel that their blood and qi were leaking out crazily, and the end of the leakage was right under their feet!

They looked at each other in shock, and a possibility had already occurred to them.

Could it be that they were also sacrificed in blood sacrifice?

Just as they guessed, not only the civilians in the pit, but also themselves, were nutrients for the Blood Demon Ancestor to restore his youth. When the Blood Demon Ancestor set up this blood sacrifice formation, he was planning to sacrifice the entire Blood Demon Sect!

That's why he is not afraid of Yunjian Pavilion's revenge!

In his opinion, as long as everyone died, no one would know that he was the one who did all this, and no one would know that he, the culprit, was still alive. He only needed to change his appearance and start over in another place. So what if he offended Yunjian Pavilion?

Yunjian Pavilion couldn’t find him at all!

It must be said that the Blood Demon Ancestor was indeed very cruel and ruthless. He had a foundation of more than three hundred years, but he refused it and offered sacrifice without hesitation. This decisiveness alone was enough to make him a hero!

As the blood sacrifice formation was in operation, the blood and qi of the Blood Demon Sect disciples were losing more and more blood. They screamed in despair, watching helplessly as the blood and qi in their bodies were drained away bit by bit. Their muscles and skin atrophied rapidly, and soon they turned into dry meat. They fell to the ground involuntarily, their empty eye sockets helplessly looking up at the sky.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have joined this damned Blood Demon Sect...

This was the last thought in their minds.

Di Yu also heard the screams of the Blood Demon Sect disciples, but she was helpless. However, Di Yu did not care about the lives of these people. After all, they were also accomplices, and their current fate was what they deserved.

Of course, the more important point is that she found that she might not be able to protect herself.

She didn't know what was hidden under the valley. After the blood sacrifice formation was activated, a breath coming from the depths of the valley suppressed her cultivation of the Great Purity Realm. She guessed that this might have been an ancient battlefield, or that some powerful treasure or spiritual weapon was buried here, which caused her realm to be suppressed.

This situation is very similar to the Ten Thousand Swords Valley in the Ten Forbidden Lands. It is rumored that the Ten Thousand Swords Valley is the remains of an ancient battlefield tens of thousands of years ago. Although there are magic weapons everywhere, there are also countless deaths and resentment. Once anyone sets foot in it, their realm will be suppressed, and they will also face the crazy attacks of tens of thousands of ancient magic weapons.

Legend has it that the last person who entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Swords and came out alive was the Wind Emperor Ji Wuya of the Tiangang Sword Sect. After him, no one has ever been heard of who has entered and come out alive. For this reason, the Valley of Ten Thousand Swords is ranked second among the ten forbidden areas, and it is truly a place where one must survive a thousand deaths.

Of course, the situation here is far less dangerous than in the Valley of Ten Thousand Swords, at least not to the point where one has no chance of death.

Di Yu vaguely sensed that his blood was being absorbed by the blood sacrifice formation, and hurriedly held his Yuan and guarded his mind. As a Taiqing realm cultivator, he would not die even if he persisted in the blood sacrifice formation for a day. But if he was tripped, what about Lin Xiaoran?

Di Yu felt a deep worry in his heart, secretly regretting that he had been too reckless in coming in and actually fell into the trap.

Just as Di Yu was racking his brains for a way to escape, he suddenly looked stunned and turned his head to look towards the side of the valley.

A figure was standing there quietly, looking at him without hesitation. When Di Yu turned his gaze, the man laughed and said, "Master Zhuque, how about this blood sacrifice formation I set up by taking advantage of the terrain?"

Di Yu said coldly: "Old Blood Demon, you have done something that has angered the heavens and the people, aren't you afraid of becoming the target of public criticism?"

The Blood Demon Ancestor said nonchalantly: "The target of public criticism? As long as everyone who knows about it dies, then who will know that it was me who did it?"

Di Yu's face darkened: "Do you still want to attack Ran'er?"

The Blood Demon Ancestor smiled smugly and said, "Since she has entered the territory of my Blood Demon Sect, I cannot let her leave alive. But before I kill this lovely girl who I feel so sorry for, I must enjoy her first. Otherwise, wouldn't I be wasting the gift from heaven?"

"You!" Di Yu was furious. "If you dare to attack Ran'er, I will never let you go, no matter how hard I try!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor sneered, "Master Suzaku, at this time, you should take care of yourself first! You might even die before her!"

After saying this, the Blood Demon Ancestor laughed loudly and floated away.

——————————

Feng Shao, Lin Xiaoran and Han Biyun are currently gathered together, waiting for news from Di Yu.

Unconsciously, the night gradually deepened, but Di Yu's figure did not appear. Not only that, they also clearly felt that the smell of blood in the air seemed to be getting stronger.

Lin Xiaoran couldn't wait any longer and asked anxiously, "Brother Shao, will Aunt Di be okay?"

Feng Shao patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, Senior Di is a great master in the Taiqing Realm after all. No one in the Blood Demon Sect can match her. Even if something happens to us, Senior Di will be fine."

But even so, Feng Shao had a bad feeling in his heart. Di Yu was an old hand, and it shouldn't take him long to investigate the blood sacrifice formation, so he should have finished it long ago. But why was he still missing?

Did Di Yu really encounter some accident?

Thinking of this, Feng Shao couldn't sit still any longer. He said to the two girls, "I'm going to go out for a while. You guys must not wander around."

Lin Xiaoran heard the solemnity in Feng Shao's tone, and quickly grabbed Feng Shao's arm, saying softly: "Brother Shao, you must be careful!"

Feng Shao nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry!"

He took out the Luantian Mirror and Zhutian Mirror from the storage ring and handed them to Lin Xiaoran: "Protect yourself and wait for me to come back."

After saying that, Feng Shao opened the door and left quietly.
