Chapter 1553: Chapter 1553: Embarking on a Point of No Return

"You..."

Yu opened her mouth, but Lin Caisang interrupted her.

"However, I’m not just trying to scare you. I truly do wish to tie you, this despicable woman, onto the sacrificial altar and let you taste the agony of your blood slowly, bit by bit, draining away!"

"You, you..."

Yu’s pupils shrank, and she was extremely scared.

She could feel that Lin Caisang was serious, this woman truly wanted to bind her to the altar for the evil influences to suck her blood!

At that moment, the pain from being stepped on in the stomach didn’t matter anymore. Aside from fear and dread, her mind was completely blank.

"Just ask whatever you want to know, get on with it,"

she ground her teeth at Lin Caisang.

All she thought was to quickly spill whatever they wanted to know so they would spare her.

"Tell me, how did you come to know the evil influence beneath the altar?" Lin Caisang stood up, lifting her foot off, and asked her.

With the pressure gone from her stomach, Yu felt considerably relieved. Tied up, she could only lie on the ground, slowly recalling how she had come to know that bloodthirsty entity of the Demon Clan.

"That matter, it’s been quite a few years ago, back when..."

Listening to Yu slowly explain, the group of people in the courtyard clenched their fists, fearing that without care, they might succumb to their anger and kill this cruel woman.

Yu was originally an extremely ugly woman. At home, because of her looks, not even a matchmaker’s proposal worked, as no man would set his eyes on her.

Years passed, she had turned twenty and not a single suitor had come to call. Her father and mother hired a matchmaker to seek a marriage, but not a single household agreed, not even as a concubine.

As time went on, Yu soon reached thirty, still an old maid in the prime of her life.

The family couldn’t marry off the daughter, leaving her only to eat away at their resources at home. How could her family be willing? Of course, they weren’t happy at all.

Therefore, everyone at home looked at Yu with displeasure. They scolded her and beat her for no reason.

Beaten and in pain, forced to work, she could only stealthily hide. She often ran alone to the altar, where no one went, especially at night, for the people in the county town thought it particularly sinister.

Thus, it became Yu’s sanctuary from her family.

Afterward, once possessed by the evil influences, she set foot on a path of no return.

Bit by bit, she lured her family members, under the guise of sacrificing Demon Clan members to appease the gods, convincing them to trick members of the Demon Clan to the altar, where they would be bound for the evil influences to drain their blood.

Later, after eating the flesh of the Demon Clan members, her family did indeed become younger, and she herself grew more beautiful by the day, until she became the beloved figure she was now.

Eventually, some in the county town grew suspicious and came to question them, and it snowballed from there, growing larger and larger.

Many people from the county town began to follow her in deceiving Demon Clan members into their trap.

In the beginning, they were very careful, but later, after acquainting someone knowledgeable in medicine, they started to drug the Demon Clan members who arrived in the county town, making it much easier to bind the unconscious Demon Clan members onto the altar.

Killing members of the Demon Clan, they had done this for twenty years, and she transformed from a woman in her thirties to this young girl who appeared to be only in her teens.

Every day, looking at herself in the mirror, she secretly rejoiced at the favor from the heavens, for letting her become beautiful.
