Chapter 125 - Underground City
“Long Chen, what’s your plan?”
The three of them had no choice but to attack during the ceremony. “If you’re willing to listen to us, don’t expose yourself. Staying alive means you will be able to take revenge some other day. The three of us won’t be getting any stronger, but you’re different. If possible, please avenge us in the future.”
“Sister Li ...” Long Chen was frustrated.
“See, you’re also calling me ‘Sister.’ You’re going to do what I say, right? I’m going to call you ‘Xiao Chen,’ then. Xiao Chen, leave it to us to risk our lives. If we don’t succeed, remember to avenge us!” L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
Li Jing’s insistence left Long Chen with no choice, so he said, “Mhm. I will kill the Blood Priest eventually. All I can promise is that I will not attack before the ceremony. And as long as I’m not in mortal danger, I won’t expose myself. Alright?”
If they died, they would have someone to avenge them. This was enough for the trio. Long Chen had reached the mid Human Core Realm at such a young age. Although he was still lacking compared to the Grand Priest, he could reach his level eventually if he worked hard.
“Come, let’s discuss the plan for the ceremony. Xiao Chen, you don’t know anything about it, right?” asked Li Peng.
Long Chen shook his head.
“Li Peng, you may explain it to him.” Li Jing was the leader, so given her instruction, the trio sat together and started the explanation.
“The Sanguine Sacrificial Ceremony is divided into three sections. First, all followers will enter the underground city and worship the Grand Priest, as well as pray to the spirits. In the second section, they massacre the girls and collect all their blood in a pool until it’s completely full. The third section is the Blood Bath. The Grand Priest starts the bath first, then the five Sect Elders and the Grand Protectors, and finally the followers. After that, the ceremony is completed.”
“This also means that we must attack while they are praying to the spirits, or it’ll be too late when they start the killing. They’re inhuman! These are hundreds of lives, and they’re all young girls ... And my younger sister is in there!”
Li Jing’s voice turned cold. “Those animals!”
Li Peng and Li Cheng were also disgusted by their violence.
“Indeed, they are even beneath animals.”
Long Chen was also filled with killing intent. He had used Blood Transmutation before, but mostly on demonic beasts. The times he used it on Bai Zhanxiong and Xue Yuanzi were due to intense hatred. They were his enemies too! The Blood Saints, on the other hand, were killing thousands of helpless, innocent girls!
No good person would join the Blood Saints. I can let loose in there and just slaughter ...
When he thought about a crazy massacre, countless blood-colored dragons roared hysterically in Long Chen’s body. The scent of blood and massacre slowly radiated from him.
Soon, it was the next day. The four of them waited patiently for nightfall. Before the sky darkened, they had already congregated with the other thousand followers to head towards the Blood House.
The old witch shouted again, then she turned around to say a few words to the Grand Priest next to her before finally standing aside.
Long Chen knelt. While everyone else was in genuine fear, his eyes darted around. “Xiao Xi, have you sensed Lingqing yet?”
Within the sword, Ling Xi cocked her head with a frown. “There seems to be a few large, mechanical doors to the left of the blood pool. There are hundreds of girls there, about a hundred meters away from the pool, but I can’t sense Lingqing’s aura. Let me search harder...”
Long Chen dared not act without confirming Yang Lingqing’s location.
By now, the Grand Priest had already announced the commencement of the Sanguine Sacrificial Ceremony. He first placed three incense sticks in the large cauldron on the altar, then the other five Sect Elders also placed their incense sticks with utmost reverence.
There was a bridge above the blood pool connecting the altar to the place where the rest of the followers were waiting. After the Grand Priest, the others started to head to the altar via the stone bridge to place their incense sticks. Then they each took a red bowl of liquid from the side of the altar. They contained blood.
Everyone returned to their original spots, now with bowls of blood. The Grand Priest also had a bowl.
“Everyone, the most important time has come. Hold your bowls of blood steady! Grand Priest, the floor is yours!” the old witch announced in her shrill voice.
She looked at the Grand Priest solemnly, who laughed and said, “My brothers, drink up!”
“Drink!”
“Alright!”
The Grand Priest drank the bowl of blood first and then crash! The clay bowl was thrown into the blood pool, shattering at the bottom. One by one, the clay bowls were thrown in and the bottom was strewn with broken pieces!
Due to the blood, the fragments were also blood-red.
“Open the doors! Bring the blood origins in!” ordered the Grand Priest.
Several mechanical doors opened with loud rumbles to the left of the blood pool. There were four large doors, each heavier than the next. Even with Long Chen’s current strength, he would find it difficult to break these stone doors in less than half a day.
It was clear that the Grand Priest had taken great lengths to prevent outsiders from getting in!
The doors were slowly opened, and a flood of screams and sobs rang across the space. Every Blood Saint follower laughed maniacally when they heard the screams of agony. “Cry, cry all you want! These are your last few minutes in this world, so cry all you want! We will become powerful thanks to your blood. You all should feel honored ...”
The Grand Priest’s hysterical laughter echoed across the entire underground city.
Long Chen clenched his fist tightly amongst the crowd.
“Long Chen, I found Lingqing! She’s under the altar!”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
