Master Jiu lay on the ground, blood spilling from the edge of the mask.
The Holy Lord's palm was merciless, his internal organs were injured, and his meridians were even damaged by nearly 80% of the water that invaded his body. This shows how angry the Holy Lord is.
He lowered his head, feeling guilty.
He was the one who sent someone to monitor Dongling back then. When he found Wen Mei who had left Dongling, he didn't care at first. Later, because of Wenqiao, he also left Dongling and came to the Central Continent. He grew and became stronger step by step. Awakened and inherited from Baifeng Island, the mystical bloodline was very strong, and then began to plan all this.
Wen Mei is the blood of the Wen family of Dongling, and she and Wen Qiao are sisters of the same clan, so they can be used.
So they caught Wen Mei, who was still weak, by surprise, and the Holy Master sealed her memory with his own hands. Lord Jiu took her by his side to train her and improve her cultivation until the day she could be used.
Wen Mei's pseudonym Meigu has always been a very obedient subordinate. She has no memory, and Tangling is too remote, there is not much news about Wen's, and she has no way to inquire about her own life experience, so there is no need to worry about her betrayal. And Wen Mei is indeed a very useful subordinate, she can perfectly complete the tasks assigned to her, Master Jiu also trusts her quite a bit.
But he didn't expect that this pawn would defeat him instead.
Master Jiu is not stupid, after a little thought, he understood why Wen Mei ran away, it was just that the Holy Master decided to sacrifice her life, which made her feel a sense of crisis, and she was worried that she would die because of it, so she acted wisely and escaped first. According to Wen Mei's behavior, it is estimated that she will flee to the place where the righteous way is stationed outside the Northland, reveal her identity to them, and use the Heavenly Sacred Gate as a bargaining chip to protect herself.
Unexpectedly, the wolf he carefully cultivated would bite him back.
Master Jiu only blamed himself for letting his guard down over the years and being too reassuring to her, so that she would look for opportunities to escape and destroy the Holy Master's plan.
After his body recovered, Lord Jiu stood up with difficulty, and looked at the woman with a gentle expression under the gray sky.
"Holy Master, since Wen Mei escaped, Wen Qiao's side..."
The Holy Master said indifferently: "Wen Mei can't be used, the plan has changed, let Wen Qiao obediently come to the Northland, and willingly offer her miraculous blood."
Master Jiu looked at her puzzled, his mind turned, and he couldn't help but think of the Lord of Demons.
Could it be that the Holy Master wants to use the Lord of Demons to force Zhengdao to hand over Wen Qiao
The Holy Master didn't say it clearly, but instead asked, "Is the living sacrifice ready?"
"It's ready." Master Jiu resisted the pain in his body, and said in a deep voice, "This time we are preparing 108 living sacrifices, and two of them have magical blood."
The Holy Master said softly, "At midnight tonight, we will do it."
Master Jiu replied yes, and watched the holy master turn and leave, the blood qi in his body couldn't hold back any longer, and finally spewed out.
He staggered to his knees on the ground, coughed lightly, took out a healing elixir with trembling hands and put it in his mouth, and stood up after a long while, looking forward with his eyes.
The sky in the distance was gloomy, and a few traces of magic energy lingering in the gray mist could be vaguely seen, and the breath of death permeated the surroundings.
In the gray mist, a figure could be vaguely seen, and the black robe was flying.
The Holy Master walked to the edge of the gray mist and looked at the man hidden in the gray lifeless air. The looming figure was not clear to others.
She stared at it for a long time before she said softly: "Yan Yi... Your lord, the living sacrifice has been prepared, and it will be three o'clock tonight."
The gray mist swirled slowly, as if it hadn't heard her words.
After a while, the gray mist dissipated, revealing the man sitting cross-legged in the gray mist. The man's pair of gray pupils drooped, and his eyes fell on her, surrounded by death, only evil and cold.
"Living sacrifice?" he said, his voice hoarse.
Seeing this, the Holy Lord felt a little joy in her heart, and couldn't restrain herself from stepping forward, but unexpectedly, a wave of death came and stopped her from moving forward.
The Holy Master looked sad, and her gentle water-like eyes seemed to be covered with melancholy, but her voice was still calm and gentle, "Yes, you are now haunted by death, if you want to be fully resurrected, Vitality is needed. Vitality can be extracted from living sacrifices."
The man stared at her with a pair of gray eyes, without saying a word.
The Holy Master didn't care either, she told him about the living sacrifice in detail, and assured him again and again, "As long as you can be resurrected, you will restore your previous memories, and you will become the great Lord of the Demon Realm."
When speaking of "Lord of the Demon Realm", her eyes are as bright as stars.
The gray-eyed man still just stared at her, as if he was appraising the authenticity of her words, but he didn't attack her with gray anger like when they first met.
The Holy Master couldn't help being a little happy, greedily wanting more, but facing those gray pupils full of lifelessness, she could only hold back. She said to herself, it doesn't matter, as long as he can be resurrected, he will understand everything she has done for him, and she is the only one in this world who is loyal to him.
At three o'clock, the living sacrifices began.
One hundred and eight people were pushed to the altar in the wilderness, where a large bloody formation was painted, and two of them were tied to the pillars in the center of the formation.
These two people with supernatural blood are disciples of Tianshengmen. They looked at the Holy Master outside the altar. Although they tried their best to suppress them, there was still a little panic in their eyes, but more reverence. The miraculous blood in them came from plunder, and it took a hundred years to grow to the Yuanzong Realm. Now is the time to repay the favor to the Holy Lord, and they have no regrets.
The gray-eyed man stood in front of the formation, with him as the center, the dead air spread.
When the midnight came, a blood-red light lit up in the formation, and the blood light shot up into the sky.
Blood mist floated from the body of the man on the altar, and the blood mist gathered in the blood-red formation, making the blood formation brighter, and merged into a bloody light full of vitality, sinking into the man's body.
bang bang bang—
Continuous explosions sounded, and the living people on the priest exploded one by one, turning into more blood mist and merging into the formation. It wasn't until the last person exploded and turned into a blood mist into the formation that the diffuse blood light finally disappeared.
The gray-eyed man closed his eyes and slowly opened his eyes after absorbing the vitality of all living sacrifices.
A few traces of blood flashed faintly in those gray pupils, and soon returned to calm.
"Too little." The man said blankly, this vitality is too little, not enough to suppress the dead breath.
The Holy Master hurriedly said: "My lord, live sacrifices need to be carried out step by step. This is the first live sacrifice, and the number of people is relatively small, and the number will increase to a thousand next time. Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates have found the most vital magical blood I found her to sacrifice for you, as long as she is there, you will recover 50% of your vitality, and after the Shengwu Continent is sacrificed, you will be fully resurrected."
"who is it?"
"It's Wen Qiao." The Holy Master looked at him devoutly, "Wen Qiao's awakened mystical blood is rich in the strongest vitality and can make all things grow. She is the most suitable candidate for a living sacrifice."
The gray-eyed man hummed, "Bring her as soon as possible."
"yes."
—
When the sky above Beidi suddenly brightened with blood, it alarmed the people in the valley.
"what happened?"
The cultivators flew out one after another, looking at the sky in the northern land, feeling the ominous aura in the blood light, and feeling bad.
The ancestors of the Yuandi Realm guarding the valley looked dignified. Although they didn't know what happened in the Northland, the aura contained in the blood light made their hearts sink to the bottom of the valley instantly.
"It's a living sacrifice."
Follow Wen Qiao to look at Meigu in the North—Wen Mei said softly, feeling full of uneasiness.
Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou looked at Beidi and remained silent for a long time.
The bloody light didn't last long, only a quarter of an hour, and soon the sky returned to normal, without any trace. But everyone's heart was heavy, knowing that the blood light might have something to do with the demon lord.
As long as the demon lord is not eliminated, they will not dare to let go, not to mention the strength of the demon lord, there is no existence that can stand up to him in the current Shengwu Continent, even if he has been nesting in the Northland. It is still a sharp knife hanging around their necks at any time.
Night fell over the land, and all who returned to the valley felt heavy.
Wen Mei followed Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou into the cave, and said, "I once heard Lord Jiu mention that there may be more live sacrifices than just one. Moreover, the people who make live sacrifices also have choices, I think..." She looked at Wen Qiao, hesitated to speak.
"Ah, is the candidate for the living sacrifice?" Ning Yuzhou asked.
Wen Mei nodded, and glanced at him, but saw that the man who usually looked gentle and gentle, now had a complexion as frosty, and there was a faint black light beating in his eyes. When she looked carefully, she found that it was full of warmth again.
May be wrong.
Even though she thought so, she instinctively felt that this person was a little scary, and she felt a little more apprehensive.
Wen Qiao asked: "Does the Holy Master want to sacrifice the divine blood to the Lord of Demons?"
"Maybe." Wen Mei nodded, and then added, "But this is just my guess, and I can't say for sure."
Wen Qiao said calmly: "Your guess should not be much different, otherwise the Holy Master would not have sent people to monitor me since the beginning of my birth. According to the monitoring of Dongling by the Tianshengmen, I am afraid that when I awakened the supernatural blood, They've already noticed it."
All the people present were smart people, how could they not know that what she said was true.
After Wen Mei left, Ning Yuzhou pulled Wen Qiao to sit down.
He looked at the girl beside him, and said softly, "No matter what Tianshengmen wants to do, I won't let anything happen to you."
Wen Qiao smiled at him, "I know, we are not really desperate, what are we afraid of? No matter how bad it is, isn't there still Brother Shi? When the time comes to leave with the bilin shuttle mirror, are you afraid that they will fail?"
Ning Yuzhou nodded with a smile, but he didn't believe her words at all.
If the Shengwu Continent really fell into a crisis of destruction, she would not leave, and might even choose to sacrifice herself.
He couldn't help but close his eyes, to get rid of those broken memories in his mind, to prevent it from corroding his heart every moment, reminding him of the despair he had experienced.
After a few days, practitioners from the inner sea area arrived in the north.
Among them are the ancestors of the three major forces on Shangzhou Island, the ancestors of the Min family, the owner of Baifeng Island, and the owner of Zhanhailou. If the Central Continent falls, the Inner Sea will not be able to survive alone.
"Great-grandfather."
Wen Qiao greeted her and saw that the three ancestors of the Min family had come, she was both happy and worried.
Min Kuangyun patted her head, Min Kuanglang nodded with a smile, Min Kuangxing pulled her over to look around, and said in relief, "That's right, our grandma is doing well."
The island owner of Baifeng Island looked at Wen Qiao with a delicate expression.
At this time, Ning Yuzhou came over and said to the island owner of Baifeng Island: "Island owner Di, can I have a chance to speak?"
Island Master Di glanced at him, nodded slightly, and entered the cave with Ning Yuzhou to talk. There are restrictions in the cave, although everyone is curious about what the two of them said, but it is not easy to investigate directly.
Wen Qiao was also very curious, and ran over after a few words with his grandfather and grandmother.
She and Ning Yuzhou are Taoist couples, and there are few secrets between Taoist couples, so when they see her go in, others will not say anything ignorantly.
When Wen Qiao entered the cave, he saw Ning Yuzhou and the owner of Baifeng Island sitting opposite each other. The table was filled with mist and the fragrance of tea. Their faces were a little unreal in the white mist.
Seeing someone coming in, the two raised their eyes and looked over.
When he saw her, Ning Yuzhou waved to her and asked Wen Qiao to come and sit beside him.
Wen Qiao greeted the island owner of Baifeng Island politely, sat down generously, and went straight to the topic: "Is the island owner Di coming for the Holy Lord of Tianshengmen?"
Island Master Di didn't expect her to be so straightforward, he nodded slightly, "Yes."
"Can I ask, what do you think of her?" Wen Qiao asked again, with a bit of coldness in her calm eyes.
Island Master Di was silent for a while, and smiled wryly, "Ah, she is not my daughter."
"What?" Wen Qiao was stunned.
"Since she left Baifeng Island and came back after going out to experience, she is no longer my daughter." The island owner of Baifeng Island closed his eyes slightly, "Although Di Ying and Di Wan are not close, they are sisters after all, and they definitely won't So cold. After she came back pregnant, she seemed to be a different person. At first I thought she was taken away by someone."
"Really seized the house?" Wen Qiao looked at him blankly.
"No." Island Master Di shook his head, his calm face revealed a bit of depression, "Di Ying has not been taken away, it should be because she has awakened the memory of her previous life, and she was reincarnated with memory."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Ning Yuzhou, hesitant to speak.
Ning Yuzhou poured Wen Qiao a cup of tea and asked, "Do you know who she was in her previous life?"
Island Master Di shook his head regretfully, "Since Di Ying rebelled against Baifeng Island, she has been hiding very deeply. Her cultivation speed is very fast. In just three hundred years, she has already reached the Yuan Emperor Realm. Even I, the father, is not her." Although I am her father, after she awakened her memory, she did not regard me as her father, but just a stranger who donated her flesh and blood so that she could be reincarnated."
Wen Qiao was terrified when she heard that, and finally understood why Di Ying was able to kill her own daughter back then.
Min Sulin was the child she conceived before she awakened the memory of her past life. Once she awakened the memory, she would naturally not accept this child and call it a wicked species, so she wanted to kill her.
Although she doesn't know what Di Ying's identity was in her previous life, but looking at her behavior, she knows that this woman has a plan, only recognizes the past life, denies the present life, and doesn't take the present life seriously.
"Why did she do everything?" Wen Qiao murmured, "Why did she focus on resurrecting the demon lord?"
"Perhaps her past life has something to do with the Lord of Demons." Island Master Di said flatly.
Wen Qiao had already guessed it, but she felt uncomfortable.
Because Di Ying awakened the memory of her previous life, she was able to play with the Min family ruthlessly, easily killed her parents, planted fire poison on her, and watched her grow up. If she hadn't awakened the supernatural blood and was just an ordinary person, she would have died in the relapse of the fire poison. If she had awakened the supernatural blood, she would have been able to completely eliminate the fire poison and survived.
So when she survived, Di Ying could be sure that she had awakened the mystical bloodline, and secretly coveted her mystical bloodline.
Wen Qiao was a little sad. The lives of her parents and her life were all plotted against.
A hand stretched out to hold her in his arms, and the man holding her said softly, "Ah, don't think too much."
Wen Qiao buried her face in his arms and said nothing for a long time.
Island Master Di sighed when he saw the children on the opposite side, and said softly: "The saints on Baifeng Island have awakened their supernatural bloodlines, all of which are related to the Sea Clan. It is said that our Baifeng Island is the descendant of the Sea Emperor, and there are women in every generation." Can awaken the blood of the Sea Emperor."
Wen Qiao looked at him and understood what he meant. Di Ying awakened the blood of the Emperor of the Sea and could control the water and control the ever-changing meaning of water in her heart, making her invincible.
What she awakened was the blood of the God Emperor, so it didn't seem to have anything to do with the Emperor of the Sea.
Island Master Di said: "Although I don't know what Di Ying is going to do, but judging by her actions, everything is related to the Lord of Demons. With her madness, she may drag the entire Shengwu Continent to be buried with her. Be careful."
