Chapter 1583: Chapter 1584: Slaughterhouse

Indeed, there were shadows of remnants of a formation near the abandoned temple, but because most of the temple had collapsed, Su Chengyu could not determine what kind of formation had once been in place here with only the remaining broken bricks and tiles.

Yet, the broken formation provided no useful information, whereas the murals above the temple still offered Su Chengyu quite a few clues.

Combining the words of this child with the mural behind him, it even gave Su Chengyu a clear direction.

"Luo Shen Fairy, ah..."

"Right! She is the Guardian God of our Luoshui Village. If you dare to mess around, the Fairy definitely won’t let you off!"

The child spoke with agitation, and it was evident that although this ten-year-old was wary of Su Chengyu, his guard remained undropped.

Su Chengyu glanced at him and asked, "Have you ever seen the Fairy, growing up as big as you are?"

The child was taken aback and then quickly responded, "Of... Of course!"

Seeing his reaction, Su Chengyu huffed lightly and said, "You’ve seen her, yet you’re still living out in the open in this dilapidated temple. It seems the Fairy you speak of isn’t much after all."

"What do you know!"

Su Chengyu chuckled, retracting his gaze from the wall and looked at the child, saying, "I indeed do not know much, but I do know that, at the very least, I can provide you with a decent place to live and ensure you’re well-fed."

While speaking, Su Chengyu had already thrown a pack of dry rations to the thin, gaunt child.

As the other party was still in a daze, Su Chengyu waved his hand grandly, and in the blink of an eye, their figures vanished from within the broken temple.

After experiencing a strange feeling of dizziness, the child found that he had somehow left the dilapidated temple.

Not only the environment of blue skies and clear waters, but even the time of day had completely changed.

It was still the middle of the night just moments ago, yet now it had turned into high noon.

His eyes widened in shock as he witnessed the surreal scene unfolding beside him, leaving him utterly frozen on the spot.

Su Chengyu walked past him and straight into a wooden hut nearby, without waiting for the child to recover, his voice rang out again.

"Come in and sit down, the sun is too strong outside."

The still shocked child swallowed hard, holding the dry rations and subconsciously walked into the hut, only to see the man whose face he couldn’t quite remember comfortably brewing tea for himself.

"Who... who exactly are you?"

Su Chengyu looked up at him and said, "Haven’t I told you already? An Immortal."

"You let..."

Just as he opened his mouth, the child felt as though something was suddenly blocking his throat, rendering him unable to utter another syllable, while Su Chengyu looked on with a light laugh.

"Why aren’t you speaking anymore?"

Shock turned to fear, and having personally experienced Su Chengyu’s methods, the child finally didn’t dare to be insolent any longer, restlessly sitting and looking at the dry rations in his hands.

As he was unsure of what to do, Su Chengyu’s voice sounded once again.

"Eat up. Once you’re full, you can answer my questions, and when it’s time to hit the road again, you won’t starve to death."

Without even glancing at him, Su Chengyu’s words unilaterally declared the other’s fate.

The child, having already realized he had no power to resist against Su Chengyu, had given up any attempt at resistance and started eating what Su Chengyu had thrown to him.

Watching the other devouring the food ravenously, Su Chengyu slightly raised his hand, and a cup of clear tea was placed beside the boy.

The boy, who had nothing left to fear, could no longer concern himself with much else and drank it down directly.

"How many days has it been since you last ate?"

Su Chengyu asked softly.

The youth looked up at Su Chengyu and corrected subconsciously, "Seven days."

Su Chengyu was somewhat surprised. If he were an ordinary person, not eating for seven days would have left him barely alive, if not dead. How could he still appear as lively and vigorous as this youth?

Upon a cursory examination of the youth’s physique, Su Chengyu indeed discovered an extremely tenuous bloodline of the Ancient Clan within him. However, the bloodline was so diluted that, without having the answer in mind to verify, it was almost undetectable, let alone considering it a talent.

"Eat slowly, there’s more if it’s not enough."

Su Chengyu said without thinking, which suddenly stopped the youth’s motions. The youth looked up at Su Chengyu again, fearfully responding.

"What exactly do you want to ask?"

Seeing this, Su Chengyu smiled and said, "Didn’t you say that there are things you won’t speak of?"

The youth’s brows instantly furrowed, and then he spoke, "Even if I don’t tell, people like you have ways to get the answers from me, right?"

Su Chengyu was taken aback by the youth’s awareness.

There was indeed a method, the Soul Searching Method.

Though it wasn’t very effective on those with a certain level of cultivation, for ordinary people like them, as long as their life and death were not of concern, Su Chengyu could almost glean everything they knew.

It was inconvenient for Su Chengyu to act directly against the villagers of Luoshui Village. The orphan before him indeed presented a very good opportunity, only...

"Do you so wish to die?"

"Of course not!" The youth spoke excitedly and then looked at the food in his hands, saying, "I know there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Since I have eaten your food, if it’s about some unimportant matters, I can tell you."

The youth’s resolve surprised Su Chengyu. He blinked and asked, "You kept mentioning the Luo Shen Fairy. Do you truly believe in her existence from the bottom of your heart?"

"Of course! I’ve seen her when I was young!"

The youth spoke excitedly.

"Are you certain it’s not your delusion?"

Su Chengyu asked with a smile, believing there must be some connection between the Luo Clan and Luoshui Village. However, the idea that this orphaned youth had seen a Luo Clan cultivator, he wasn’t so convinced.

"Why would I lie to you? It was just a year ago! If I hadn’t encountered the Luo Shen Fairy, I would have died in that broken temple long ago!"

"A year ago?"

Su Chengyu paused at this timeline. If it was a year ago, that was when Xu Nanzhi had already returned to the Luo Clan. And if it was indeed a year ago...

"You’re the sacrifice that Luoshui Village offered to the Luo River a year ago?"

The youth, who had been wolfing down his food, suddenly froze. He looked up at Su Chengyu, unable to believe what he heard, and asked, "How do you know that?"

The youth didn’t understand. He hadn’t said anything, so how could Su Chengyu know this secret that only people from the village were aware of?

However, faced with the youth’s question, Su Chengyu only chuckled and said, "Is it that hard to know? Isn’t the stench of blood suffusing the broken temple enough to prove what it’s used for?"

Live sacrifices, a cultivation method that had almost vanished after the founding of Xia Country.

At least publicly, the Xia Country’s government would absolutely not tolerate such cultivation practices. No matter who or where they were from, anyone discovered would be deemed demonic by the Demon Slayer Department and dealt with accordingly.

And clearly, the Luo Clan was still upholding this ancient method of cultivation.

The entire Luoshui Village, was none other than a breeding ground and slaughterhouse maintained by the Luo Clan.
