Chapter 156: The Ruthless Way of the Senior Sister (43)
"Those who are not of my race must have ulterior motives, right?" The city lord stood up at this time, casually flicked off the non-existent dust on his body, and looked at everything in front of him with cold eyes.
His eyes fell on the "water" that was constantly rolling in the pool, and he seemed very satisfied with the scene.
As time goes by, the liquid in the pool gradually becomes clear and transparent, presenting a refreshing clarity.
The city lord nodded slightly, expressing his approval, and said to himself: "However, it is worthy of a Jindan cultivation. Previously, this blood pool had only sacrificed cultivators in the foundation-building stage, and it often took until more than half of the body was dissolved to reach this level.
I didn’t expect that only one-third of the time has passed, and the effect is so significant.”
The old butler looked down at his hands, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He noticed that the wrinkles on his hands had been significantly reduced and the skin had become firmer and smoother.
This made him extremely excited, and he quickly reported to the city lord: "Sir, the effect this time is really great!"
The city lord smiled slightly, a hypocritical smile on his face.
He bowed hypocritically to Bai Chaoyan in the pool and said, "Your Excellency's contribution to Shuoyue City is really great. We are deeply grateful to you."
It turned out that ever since Moon City moved to the mortal world, they discovered that the spiritual energy here was extremely scarce, making it difficult for the entire city to maintain normal operations.
In addition, due to the intermarriage between the Moon People and mortals, the purity of their bloodline was severely affected.
Faced with such a dilemma, the city lord of that generation pondered and finally came up with a cruel solution - blood pool sacrifice.
But at the beginning, he wanted to dedicate himself. On the day when the formation pattern around the blood pool was drawn, he jumped in.
Then some buildings in the city began to be repaired and the phenomenon of plant withering decreased.
He is such a person, but not all city lords are like this. Anyway, as long as they are cultivators, why must they be from the Moon Clan!
The number of people in the Moon Tribe is already small enough, not to mention that their cultivation base is generally not high, so sacrificing them would just be a drop in the bucket.
In addition, because the bloodlines became increasingly mixed, after a few generations, many people, not to mention the cultivators, had lost their spiritual roots.
Fortunately, this place is very close to the Dongji Continent, and some monks often pass by here.
Later, the city lords came up with the idea of sacrificing these people, but generally they only captured independent cultivators with no background.
Bai Chaoyan's presence this time was actually an accident. If the time for sacrifice had not been approaching and a suitable sacrifice had not been found, they would not have taken the risk.
Bai Chaoyan listened to the words of the city lord while feeling the severe pain. Slowly the pain disappeared. He looked down and saw that the flesh below his waist was gone and his bones were also gradually disappearing.
Seeing the extreme fear in the other person's eyes, the city lord smiled and comforted him: "Don't be afraid! Wait a little longer, and you won't be afraid of anything. After all, the dead don't feel anything."
The city lord looked at Bai Chaoyan with greed and jealousy in his eyes: Why wasn't he such a favored child of heaven? However, no matter how talented his body was, it had now become the nourishment for Shuo Yuecheng.
Not long after, Bai Chaoyan completely dissolved in the pool of blood.
The "water" in the blood pool had become completely clear, and then this spiritual "water" slowly flowed into every regular gully around the blood pool. When the gullies became flat, the "water" disappeared.
There was no liquid in the blood pool at this time. Bai Chaoyan's storage ring and some of his personal treasures were also left at the bottom of the pool.
"It looks like a really fat sheep!" The housekeeper said with a smile, "What are these things?"
"According to the old rules, we keep what is usable and sell it on the black market if it is useless." The city lord flipped his wrist, and the belt that had previously bound Bai Chaoyan returned to his hand, and he also took off his cloak openly.
He has transformed from an old man with gray hair and wrinkled skin into a handsome young man.
Even the black-armored guards around him had taken off the black armor covering their faces, and their movements and walking postures were obviously much faster than before.
"The effect this time is really good." The city lord touched his face, "What a pity! Golden elixir is hard to come by!"
Several people then left the underground blood pool.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably be a hundred years before I come back again.
Bai family
"Young master's life plate is broken?" The Bai family member who was guarding the life plate said in disbelief, but now was not the time to be surprised, he immediately reported the matter to the head of the family, Bai Chaoyan's father.
He was very calm and only said: "Life and death are determined by fate, which means he was destined to suffer this disaster."
After all, Father Bai has more than one son, Bai Chaoyan, but he pays more attention to this son because he has better qualifications and has joined the Yunhai Sect.
However, in recent years, not only has Bai Chaoyan been unable to get more cultivation resources from the Yunhai Sect, he has also had to ask the clan for subsidies every time. Bai's father is actually a little unhappy.
Even during this period of time, he was thinking of letting Bai Chaoyan leave the Yunhai Sect after the other party came back from the secret realm.
And the most important thing is that half a year ago, Bai's father's new concubine gave birth to a son with a single spiritual root, and he was very happy!
The only person who was probably sad was Bai Chaoyan's mother. She was so sad that her cultivation level regressed.
As for the other members of the Bai family, most of them were actually secretly happy. After all, it was great to have one less person competing with them for cultivation resources.
