Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 1273 - 1259: Blood Sacrifice, Ruthless and Inhumane!

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1259: Blood Sacrifice, Ruthless and Inhumane!

"They suspect it’s Tianya Haige!"

Xiao Yi’s words shocked and left everyone present in disbelief.

But soon...

Master Nantian shook his head and said, "It can’t be Tianya Haige!"

Zi Feng nodded in agreement, "I also think it can’t be Tianya Haige’s doing!"

"Not to mention that you killed Duan Tianya a few days ago, the other people in Tianya Haige wouldn’t dare provoke Saint Lord Xiao again at this time. Even if Duan Tianya were alive, he wouldn’t stoop to harming ordinary civilians!"

"This is about the dignity and pride of the Sacred Lands. Tianya Haige prides itself as the foremost of the Sacred Lands; they wouldn’t act this way!"

No one in the group believed this matter was the doing of Tianya Haige.

Xiao Yi nodded.

Master Nantian and others’ analysis was exactly what he was thinking, and he said solemnly, "I also don’t think it’s Tianya Haige, but if it’s not them, who could it be?"

Zi Feng asked, "Could it be the remnants of the Siling Clan?"

"Probably not. If it were the Siling Clan, the death toll wouldn’t be just two hundred billion..."

"Then who could it be? There’s no force in the Great Qingtian Realm with such power, is there?"

"No, you missed one force..."

Xiao Yi shook his head, interrupting everyone’s thoughts. Seeing all eyes on him, he slowly uttered the name of that force, "Chang! Sheng! Sect!"

"Changsheng Sect?"

"Oh, how could I have forgotten them?"

"Now that you mention it, I suddenly recall that the leader of the Changsheng Sect is notoriously greedy, never acting without benefit. It’s indeed peculiar that with the upheaval in the extreme south, the Changsheng Sect hasn’t taken any action!" Master Nantian pondered, nodding.

The six Sacred Lands have been battling the Changsheng Sect for over ten thousand years and know each other very well.

Fang Ru said pensively, "My Ba Yu Jing is already the most indifferent to ordinary people among the six Sacred Lands, yet we have never harmed civilians. This Changsheng Sect is truly regressing!"

"I’ll tell Qingzhu and the others not to act rashly first..."

Xiao Yi took out a communication token and passed the message, "Qingzhu, the real culprit might be someone else. Wait for me to return and we’ll discuss it!"

"Understood!"

Fang Qingzhu responded to Xiao Yi, then couldn’t help but admonish, "Xiao Yi, take care of yourself! I’ll wait for you to return!"

Feeling the worry and care in Fang Qingzhu’s words, Xiao Yi’s lips curved into a slight smile.

Then he put away the communication token and looked at everyone, "We are not far from the extreme south now, let’s hasten and handle this matter here before investigating the Southern Continent. If it wasn’t the Changsheng Sect, so be it; if it was, I will destroy their Taoism, annihilate their Primordial Spirit..."

"Alright!"

Everyone nodded solemnly.

The six Sacred Lands consider themselves the human race’s sanctuaries, protecting countless beings of the Qingtian Realm. They have openly and secretly fought the Changsheng Sect, which aims to restore the Hall of Longevity’s ancient dominance over the Qingtian Realm, for years. In the past, the Changsheng Sect exercised restraint, doing nothing too outrageous.

The six Sacred Lands would turn a blind eye!

But now...

If the Changsheng Sect truly committed the slaughter of innocent lives in the Southern Continent.

The six Sacred Lands would not tolerate it!

Whoosh!

Streaks of luminescent light in the sky converged into a rainbow crossing the void, heading straight towards the thickening mist in the depths of the extreme south.

Meanwhile...

In the remote depths of the extreme south, a pristine spiritual lake emitted boundless earth and sky energy.

It seemed as if all the power of this realm was gathered here, and even the very breath taken in was filled with abundant spiritual energy.

At this moment.

The leader of the Changsheng Sect stood with their formidable members before the spiritual lake, every face filled with excitement, "We are about to succeed, our Changsheng Sect’s long endurance is finally paying off!"

"If you perform well, once the Hall Master is freed, I will surely petition for your merit!"

The towering figure of Siling Feng wore a chilling smile, as his claws covered in menacing black scale armor moved, causing the surrounding space to tremble with a hum, "Hurry up, I can’t wait to welcome the Hall Master back!"

"Come forth!"

The leader of the Changsheng Sect waved a hand, and a group of sect warriors stepped forward in succession.

Each held a precious seal, which they waved vigorously in the air.

Ripples of space surged wildly from the seals.

Portals emerged out of thin air.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Figures flew out from within, constantly falling into the spiritual lake.

In the blink of an eye.

The pure and clear lake waters bubbled continuously, popping loudly on the surface, with white steam rising, coalescing into savage giant beasts in mid-air.

These beasts opened their bloody mouths, lunging at the living beings from the Southern State who had fallen into the lake.

Sharp fangs and claws pierced the defenseless civilians.

Tearing their bodies apart, turning them into a rain of flesh and blood that fell, merging into the spiritual lake.

In an instant.

The serene and clear spiritual lake was transformed into a sea of blood, with vicious red light emanating from the surface, and the stench of blood wafting through the air.

"No, don’t kill my mother..."

"Have mercy, please spare us..."

"We don’t want to die..."

"My child... you beasts, my child is only three months old, how could you be so heartless?"

"Xiao Zhenguo will avenge us, you beasts will die a deserved death..."

The civilians released by the strongmen of Changsheng Sect from the space were left in the lake, dying in miserable states.

Yet...

Facing the wails and agony of these civilians, the Changsheng Sect leader and Siling Feng showed no ounce of pity.

Feeling the power of flesh and blood in the Blood Spirit Lake constantly converging towards the depths.

Merging onto the stele.

The potent energy on the stele, cleansed by the power of flesh and blood, gradually weakened.

Faintly, it seemed as if there was a terrifying existence on the other end quietly awakening!

"It’s almost time, the Hall Master will be free soon!" Siling Feng said excitedly.

The Changsheng Sect leader, his face aglow with anticipation, clenched his fists, "This is the Hall Master of Death. Once he’s free, unifying the Qingtian Realm will be a piece of cake. We’ve waited too long for this day, it’s finally happening!"

At that thought.

The leader of the Changsheng Sect looked at Lin Maotian, "Speed up!"

"Understood!"

Lin Maotian nodded, then turned to the disciples of the Changsheng Sect, "Tighten up, release all the captives. Once the Hall Master is saved, you’ll all be credited with tremendous accolades, receiving grand rewards, do you understand?"

"Understood!"

"Quick!"

The disciples of the Changsheng Sect rushed to comply, eagerly releasing the civilians.

Thrown onto the spiritual lake, becoming the offerings for the blood sacrifice.

Millions.

Tens of millions.

A billion...

The number kept increasing, as tens of billions of innocent civilians became sacrificial offerings.

Crimson blood light illuminated the entire realm.

Standing at the spiritual lake, staring at the churning blood light, the Changsheng Sect leader and Siling Feng suddenly exchanged a look.

The Changsheng Sect leader spoke, "They are here!"
