Chapter 155: The Senior Sister Cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness (42)
Ever since Bai Chaoyan came back last time, he has been basically in a coma due to his serious injuries and the evil spirit in his heart.
Xu Qingyi was closely watching the actions of her second senior brother, and after she found that he had left the City Lord's Mansion, she also left.
After about half an hour, most of the monks had left, leaving only the unconscious Bai Chaoyan.
As for Tan Yi, who had been living in the residential area of Shuoyue City, he didn't know about these situations. After all, he was still thinking about how to ask Senior Sister Yun Zhen for a pill!
"City Lord, everyone has left." The old butler said to the City Lord of Shuoyue City, "Should we?"
"Is the underground blood pool ready?" The city lord took a sip of the tea at hand and said, "We can't be careless. If they come back in the middle of the ceremony, it will not be good."
"It's okay. I will put a doll on that person's bed." The old butler looked confident. "A little bit of blood will make those monks believe it."
"Let's go! It's time for us to get the sacrifice." The city lord put down the teacup in his hand, and went to Bai Chaoyan's room with the guards wearing armor and the old butler.
But this time there was no trace of the previous respect.
The guard in black armor pushed the door open with great force, but despite the loud noise, Bai Chaoyan on the bed did not wake up.
The city lord moved his wrist, and a golden belt tied Bai Chaoyan tightly.
The city lord was a little worried when he found that the other party had not resisted. He walked closer to Bai Chaoyan, placed his hand on the other party's dantian, felt it for a while, and then said: "It's okay, it's just that the injury is too serious, and the blood and qi are a little depleted.
But this is indeed a real golden elixir, different from the previous foundation-building ones."
Then he used his hands to pinch Bai Chaoyan's spine, ankles, knees and other parts several times. After doing all this, the city lord had a look of jealousy on his face: "After all, he was born in the cultivation continent, and he probably has a family background.
His age is definitely not more than 100 years old. I have worked so hard to achieve immortality, but it is so easy for him to form a golden elixir. It is really unfair."
The old butler coughed lightly before persuading him, "Lord City Lord, no matter how powerful he is, he still has to be sacrificed to you. In fact, we should be happy! The higher his cultivation, the better. This way, we can postpone the time to find a sacrifice next time."
"You are right." The city lord laughed.
The old butler took out a wooden doll, then cut Bai Chaoyan's finger and let out a little blood.
After the doll was stained with blood, it immediately became exactly the same as Bai Chaoyan and was placed on the bed by the old butler.
At this time, Bai Chaoyan woke up slowly because of the pain, and found that he was tied up. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free, and he couldn't even speak.
The city lord glanced at the other party and said nothing. Instead, he said to the black-armored guard: "Let's go! It's time to take him down."
In this way, Bai Chaoyan was brought to the underground secret room of Shuoyue City.
As soon as we entered the city, the city lord activated the isolation formation.
This underground secret room was also very simple. Apart from a large blood-red pool bubbling with bubbles, there was nothing special about it.
"Welcome to your place of sacrifice." The city lord seemed to only know the law that villains usually die because of talking too much, so he didn't even give Bai Chaoyan a chance to speak and directly threw him into the pool of blood.
Because Bai Chaoyan was a Jindan cultivator, even if the other party was thrown into the blood pool, he did not rashly remove the belt that bound Bai Chaoyan.
The bone-gnawing and heart-burning feeling instantly spread throughout Bai Chaoyan's body, but he was unable to speak or resist at all.
The city lord calmly sat down beside the pool and said, "Brother Bai, just bear with it. It won't take too long. By the time your lower body is almost completely rotten, you won't even feel anything."
"If you really can't bear it, just listen to the story I'm going to tell you!" The city lord smiled and began to narrate the past of Shuoyue City.
It turns out that this city was not in the mortal world at first, but was a part of the Dongji Continent, specifically located near the Duanchen Sea.
This is why there is a teleportation array in Duanchen Sea connecting to the vicinity of Shuoyue City.
"At that time, we were not called Shuoyue City." The city lord said with some pride, "Our name was Yuecheng, and the city lords and their families, as well as most of the residents in the city, were all descendants of the Moon Clan.
We are hardworking, brave, kind, and the Moon Clan is full of handsome men and beautiful women. The Moon Clan has average talent for cultivation, but we are superb archers. Oh! It's the arrows of the bow, not the swords of your sword cultivators."
In the war between immortals and demons, the Moon Clan was asked to carry out long-range attacks, and the besieged city formations and the Moon Clan's bows and arrows were all protected.
Therefore, the Demons became jealous of the Moon Clan and concentrated their forces to attack Moon City, vowing to wipe out the entire Moon Clan.
Those Moon Clan members outside did not have time to return to help, after all, they were too far away.
And few of the allies who were nearby were willing to come to help.
The people of the Moon Clan had to fight desperately to save Moon City, but the strength gap was too great. They were helpless and could only use the power of their bloodline to burn the destiny of their clan and transfer the entire Moon City to the mortal continent.
The original location of Yuecheng was also swallowed up by the Duanchen Sea.
