Chapter 31 Sacrifice a Disciple
The stone gate is embedded in the mountain and is surrounded by runes and formations.
In front of the door stood two stone pillars half a person's height, with their surfaces engraved with ancient divine characters. In the middle of the door were three ancient seal characters: Tianyan Realm.
All the disciples gathered in front of the gate, with disciples from each peak standing on both sides.
"Is this... the Tianyan Secret Realm?" a disciple murmured in a low voice.
"Look at that door, it seems to be operated by the laws of nature, it's really mysterious!"
"I heard that after the secret realm is opened, the flow of time inside is different from that in the outside world. Seven days inside is like one day outside. If you can cultivate in the secret realm for one day, your cultivation will definitely increase dramatically!"
"But there are also many seniors who have never come out after entering..."
The Tianyan Secret Realm is different from ordinary secret realms. It contains the inheritance of the Tianyan Sect from tens of thousands of years ago. In order to protect itself, a space magic array is set up at the entrance of the secret realm.
Anyone who enters will be randomly teleported to a different entrance to prevent strong teams from sweeping through and destroying the balance of the secret realm. This is also to test the intruder's ability to respond.
Pei Yan followed the people from Xia Lingfeng into the gate. In an instant, he saw a dazzling white light flash before his eyes, and it seemed as if thousands of thunders roared in his ears.
When he came to his senses, there was no trace of other peaks around him.
There was dead silence and the sky and the earth were all white.
White fog was swirling all around, and the ground beneath my feet was a blurry gray shadow, as if I was in the abyss of a dream.
Pei Yan looked around and found that the disciples of Xia Lingfeng were teleported here together, including Ye Wange.
Everyone was looking around vigilantly when suddenly a hair-raising howl came from the fog.
"roar--!"
Several huge figures slowly stepped out from the white mist.
The first one to appear was a pitch-black demonic fox with nine tails. It was as big as a hill, and the ground cracked wherever it stepped.
It was actually a third-level nine-tailed shadow fox that fed on souls and spirits. Anyone who got close would fall into an illusion.
Following closely behind was a Flame Bone Wolf with wings and flames burning on its back. It was a mutant born from the combination of a spiritual beast and a demon. It was cruel, bloodthirsty, and invulnerable to swords and guns.
There was also a giant red python with three heads, which opened its mouth and spit out black mist. Blood shadows appeared in the mist, and it kept twisting and struggling.
In just a few breaths, these monsters formed a formation and trapped everyone in the center.
"So many monsters..." A disciple's voice trembled, "How can we fight them?!"
But Pei Yan was not afraid at all.
He glanced at the calm Ye Wange, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
As long as Master is here, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome.
In the previous life, when breaking through the entrance, Qingyue Peak suffered heavy losses, but all the members of Xialing Peak, led by the master, were unharmed.
It can be seen that Ye Zhao is still not as good as Master...
As expected, Ye Wange took a step forward and glanced at the trapped monsters without a trace of panic in her eyes.
"Don't panic, I have a way to deal with these monsters."
She raised her hand and a blood-colored talisman appeared on her palm. The spiritual energy suddenly rushed forward, and the air was choked.
Pei Yan's eyes lit up slightly.
As expected of Master, he is more reliable than Ye Zhao!
"I didn't follow the wrong person." He murmured in his heart, looking at Ye Wange with more determination.
But the next moment, Ye Wange turned around and said, "I know a secret technique that can subdue these monsters."
"However, this secret technique requires human blood."
She paused, her eyes swept across the disciples, and finally landed on an outer disciple with the weakest cultivation.
"You."
Everyone was stunned and their faces changed suddenly!
Pei Yan took a few steps forward, his voice trembling uncontrollably. "Master, these are just a few demon beasts. You must have a way to deal with them. Even if you don't need to sacrifice human blood, you must have other methods, right?"
Human sacrifice sounded like an evil way, and he didn't believe that his master would practice such evil magic!
Ye Wange's tone remained unchanged: "This is the safest way... His cultivation is low, and staying in the secret realm will only be a burden. Rather than being torn apart by monster beasts in the future, it is better to sacrifice him for the other fellow disciples."
The fog gradually condensed, like thousands of strands of silk wrapping around the sky and earth, surrounding everyone at Xialing Peak.
The monsters roared and howled in the fog, as if they were going to devour them all in the next moment.
"Master, there is no need to use that secret technique. We are many in number and can resist together! As long as we unite as one, we may be able to break out of the formation!" Seeing that Ye Wange was about to form a seal, Pei Yan said anxiously.
If Ye Zhao can do it, Master can do it too!
At this moment, the sixth-level demon wolf suddenly pounced out, like a black meteor, swooping down from the sky, aiming directly at Ye Wange!
"Master, be careful!" Pei Yan shouted subconsciously.
But he still firmly believed in his heart that Ye Wange would be able to kill the demon wolf gracefully at the critical moment.
After all, she was his master, the master of Xialing Peak who was in the Jindan realm, and was admired by countless disciples.
But the next moment, Ye Wange was hit hard by the demon wolf in front of everyone's shocked eyes and was thrown out like a rag!
"boom!"
She hit a rock behind her hard, a dull sound of broken bones was heard, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
There was a sudden silence all around!
Pei Yan stood there in a daze, as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind.
That's a Jindan cultivator.
This was the master he had revered for two lifetimes and never doubted.
And at this moment, she was completely defenseless in front of a demon wolf!
Pei Yan felt as if the faith in his heart had collapsed, and a panic and confusion he had never experienced before came over him.
How could Master be weaker than Ye Zhao? !
"This is impossible..." he murmured.
The demon wolf roared and pounced again, its sharp fangs like curved hooks pressing straight into the chests of Ye Wange and the others.
Ye Wange slowly stood up from the rubble, with blood still hanging from the corner of her mouth. It was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the attack.
She glanced at the trembling disciples and took out a talisman with golden patterns from her sleeve.
Pei Yan's eyes were sharp. He saw the blood curse mark on the talisman and his heart suddenly tightened. "That's... the blood sacrifice curse..."
"The blood sacrifice formation begins."
Ye Wange whispered, and as soon as the word fell, a hideous blood-red magic circle appeared under her feet, and runes spread across the earth like blood threads, expanding rapidly.
"ah!!"
A disciple in the early stage of foundation building standing in the formation suddenly screamed, and before he could react, blood lines pierced his body into his limbs!
He turned back to look at Ye Wange in horror, "Master, no!!!"
The blood flowed along the formation patterns and merged into the center of the formation under Ye Wange's feet.
The disciple's face was distorted and blood was oozing from all his orifices. He struggled violently but could not move at all, his eyes full of fear.
"boom!"
The Blood Spirit Sacrifice Formation was finally fully activated. The group of monsters let out a tearing howl at the same time, and retreated several steps, their skin and flesh festering and they continued to wail.
But the price... was that the disciple's bones were shattered in agony, and he eventually fell to the ground like a rag, his death a horrible sight.
The scene was dead silent.
The disciples felt cold all over, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Even Pei Yan stood there frozen, his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't speak.
He watched the man being sacrificed with his own eyes, and was horrified to the extreme.
Ye Wange wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, "Let's continue."
None of the disciples around dared to speak. They could only breathe lightly, step over the charred and deformed corpse, and walk deeper into the secret realm.
Pei Yan and others followed Ye Wange closely, only to find that the surrounding scenery suddenly distorted, as if they were thrown out by an invisible force. The next moment, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed.
They were on the edge of a mysterious place shrouded in thick fog.
Pei Yan squinted his eyes and looked at the terrain in the distance, and found that it was the group of people from Qingyue Peak not far away.
They were still fighting hard with the monsters guarding the entrance.
Ye Wange said with a hint of pride, "It seems that the people from Qingyue Peak are unlucky and have been teleported to the eastern periphery. The guardian monsters there are the most difficult to deal with."
