Chapter 384 Smell of Blood

"I know a piece of information that is suspected to be related to Monk Dayu." When Deputy Sect Leader Shi saw Lu Yang agreed, he felt that the success rate of dealing with Monk Dayu would be increased a bit, and he was willing to cooperate further with Lu Yang.

Lu Yang said "oh" and leaned back in his chair, relaxing his body.

"Tell me about it?"

"There are two reasons why the Dayu monks are not accepted by Daxia." Deputy Sect Leader Shi stretched out two fingers.

"First, there is no need to explain. The Dayu monks do not recognize the existence of Daxia and demand the restoration of the Dayu Dynasty. Daxia will naturally not tolerate this."

"The second reason is the struggle between good and evil."

"According to historical records, blood sacrifices frequently occurred during the Dayu Dynasty. In order to consolidate their rule and win over experts, the Imperial Master and Emperor Yu have always condoned such incidents. For example, why did the Great Yu Dynasty ignore the so-called Natural Disaster Venerable who brought suffering to the people even though he called himself a natural disaster?"

"Dayu thinks that sacrificing a few cities and winning over a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage is a very cost-effective deal."

Deputy Sect Leader Shi scoffed at Dayu's actions. Although their sect also killed people, they had faith and were doing it to promote the existence of Jiuyou. They were completely different from guys like the Natural Disaster Master who enjoyed killing.

"If Dayu had done this in ancient times, it would have been wiped out by our Heavenly Court long ago." Lu Yang said coldly. Blood sacrifices by cultivators were rare even in ancient times.

Before the five ancient immortals became immortals, the ancient order was chaotic, so it was not surprising that blood sacrifices occurred. But if such things still happened after the five ancient immortals became immortals, it means that the five ancient immortals are not taken seriously.

This can be seen from the attitude of the Immortal Fairy.

The Immortal Fairy is innocent, not stupid, and she will not tolerate things like blood sacrifice.

From this, it can be inferred that if the four ancient immortals who were on good terms with her killed people without mercy, the Immortal Fairy would not become friends with them.

"The newly revived Great Yu monk is in a weak state. What is the fastest way to recover? It is blood sacrifice and blood feeding. Now that the Great Xia Dynasty has strict rule, it is difficult for them to perform blood sacrifice openly as they did more than 100,000 years ago."

"Use [rules] or other means to secretly perform the blood sacrifice, and it will be difficult for Daxia to know."

Lu Yang thought of what happened in Buyi Town, which was the method used by the Dayu cultivator to restore his strength.

"My Jiuyou Sect has spies all over the continent. We may not be able to compare with Daxia in terms of open matters, but when it comes to secret matters, Daxia doesn't know as much as we do!" Deputy Sect Leader Shi laughed. Their Jiuyou Sect has existed for tens of thousands of years, and would have perished long ago if they didn't have some intelligence channels.

"A few days ago, I just received a piece of intelligence about a suspected blood sacrifice. It doesn't look like it was done by the Yaoyang Sect or the Wuqing Sect. It is very likely to be done by ancient monks!"

"Suspected blood sacrifice?"

"Yes, suspected, but not sure yet."

"What exactly is going on?"

"My subordinate reported to me that he passed by a small village called Huaian Village in Liangzhou. He looked from afar and found that the village was empty, without any signs of living people. The martial arts he practiced were somewhat special, and he was very sensitive to the smell of blood. He smelled a hint of blood."

"We can still smell blood from such a distance, which means a large number of people have died in the village!"

"He was afraid of the rules set by the Fusion Stage in the village and didn't dare to get close. After learning that the small village was abnormal, he immediately reported it to me!"

Tao Yaoye was slightly startled, as this matter seemed weird.

Lu Yang frowned: "The small village is empty, the government is not taking any action?"

"What's even more strange is that the government has ignored this village, as if they were completely unaware of its existence! It could also be that the people in the village just disappeared not long ago, and the government doesn't know about it yet!"

"According to my speculation, it is very likely that the ancient monks performed a blood sacrifice in the small village and used some means to block people's cognition, or blocked the cognition of the righteous monks!"

Lu Yang tapped the table rhythmically with his index finger. This matter was very strange, and Deputy Sect Leader Shi’s explanation might not make sense.

But no matter what, we have to check out this small village.

Lu Yang was not worried that it was Deputy Sect Leader Shi who was luring him over. The strength of the Tianting Sect had already been partially demonstrated. Even when his head was hit by the flying shuttle of the Fifth Elder, they did not dare to betray him, the young sect leader.

"Then let's go and take a look." Lu Yang set off and prepared to go to Liangzhou.

Deputy Sect Leader Shi was surprised. He did not expect Lu Yang to be so decisive. He thought that the Young Sect Leader Lu wanted to go back to find the Heavenly King to protect him before going to investigate Liangzhou.

Do you dare to go to Liangzhou, where ancient monks are suspected to be active, with just two geniuses?

Either he has the ability to save his life, or the Heavenly King Guardian is already near Lu Yang, and he has no idea! "Does Sect Leader Shi want to go with us?"

"Of course I have to go." Deputy Sect Leader Shi readily agreed. It was he who proposed the matter, so there was no reason for him not to go.

His flying boat was anchored outside Yanjiang County, and the three of them boarded the boat and left.

Deputy Sect Leader Shi wanted to say something to Lu Yang, but when he saw Lu Yang getting on the flying boat, closing his eyes and resting, looking unwilling to say more, he decided not to make things difficult for himself.

Tao Yaoye didn't say anything either. She knew that Senior Brother Lu closed his eyes because he was afraid of heights and was afraid to see outside.

Three days later, the flying boat arrived in Liangzhou.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Liangzhou is located on the west side of the central continent. Due to the influence of the climate, it has more grasslands and fewer forests. Further west is the Golden Buddhist Kingdom, which is filled with yellow sand and it is difficult to see green.

“This is it.”

Deputy Sect Leader Shi stopped the flying boat in the air, checked the location in the report, confirmed that the strange little village was below, and then jumped down.

Lu Yang was afraid of heights and didn't dare to jump down like that, but he was well prepared.

"Junior Sister Tao, cast an illusion on me so that I think there is ground under my feet."

Tao Yaoye covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, raised her hand and used illusion to cover Lu Yang, and the two jumped down.

During the Jindan stage, one can fly freely.

The place where the three people landed was about a mile away from the small village.

Deputy Sect Leader Shi was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he did not use his spiritual sense to investigate the situation in the village.

"It doesn't look like there are any signs of the use of rules." Deputy Sect Leader Shi walked around the small village and made a judgment. He was experienced and rarely made mistakes in this regard.

"That's even more strange. Where did all the people in the village go?" Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye were also puzzled. It didn't make sense.

The three tried to walk into Huaian Village, and they all entered the village without being affected by any rules.

Deputy Sect Leader Shi's nose twitched, his expression a little solemn: "The smell of blood here is stronger than I thought!"

"Is there any smell?" Tao Yaoye also sniffed, but smelled nothing.

Deputy Master Shi explained, "You two are different from me. You practice the orthodox techniques of the Heavenly Court. The techniques that we, the demon cultivators, practice are more or less related to blood sacrifice. Only people like me who practice the demon path can feel that this place is different."

Lu Yang asked: "Is the smell of blood strong?"

"It's very dense. Even if we kill everyone in this small village, there probably won't be this much!"

"This is most likely an altar built by ancient monks, where they gathered captured mortals and monks for blood sacrifice!"
