Chapter 129: Chapter 107: Blood Sacrifice Ceremony (Part 2)
[Sealing Wedge Stone (Tier Two): Ghost Element Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, primarily used to seal the space of the Pet Beast Master. The level of the Sealing Wedge Stone determines the level of Pet Beast Space it can lock.]
After breaking through the gray mist, Ye Bai was able to retrieve the items from within his Pet Beast Space.
Ye Bai first summoned the Sunflower King.
This type of Pet Beast is small, can drill underground, and is also adept at hiding—truly a must-have Pet Beast for home surveillance.
"Sunflower King, connect me to the Pet Beast Union."
"Also, scout the area to find out exactly where we are."
The Tier Two Sunflower at the Pet Beast Union nodded slightly, indicating it had contacted the main body.
"Sunflower, can you sense the current location of the main body?"
Zhang Lingxue asked curiously.
If it were just a simple cross-city distance, the Sunflower wouldn’t be able to sense it.
But critically, the location of the Resurrection Association has been infiltrated by the Sunflower Cleaning Company.
If the Sunflower King is used as a base, then the Tier Two Sunflower acts as a signal tower.
It transmitted the message through multiple signal towers, segment by segment, until it was sent out completely.
The Sunflower coiled around Zhang Lingxue’s arm, pointing in a certain direction.
"Excellent, Ye Bai’s Sunflower is indeed remarkable."
"The three of you must swear on the Oath Stone that you absolutely won’t reveal this secret."
"Otherwise, you’re aware of the consequences of breaking the oath, aren’t you?"
Suddenly, a milky white Oath Stone appeared in Zhang Lingxue’s hand.
This Oath Stone can record oaths made by humans. If one accidentally breaks the oath, they will face a terrifying thunder tribulation until they are completely annihilated.
"Let’s go, Chairman Zhang is already waiting ahead for us to gather."
"This time, more than a dozen guild masters have gathered together to eliminate the Resurrection Association."
Wang Jinyin sneered.
"Let’s go, stop rambling."
"The later we arrive, the more danger my student’s safety will be in."
"This time, Ye Bai is willing to sacrifice himself to save your children."
Zhang Lingxue emphasized again.
Inside the cell.
Li Chen and Zhang Yiyi were devouring hamburgers voraciously.
They never expected that Ye Bai’s Pet Beast Space hadn’t been sealed off.
"Ye Bai, a good brother for life."
"If we survive this crisis, I swear we’ll form a blood brotherhood in the peach grove."
Ye Bai’s mouth twitched, was Li Chen watching too many dramas?
"Stop eating, someone’s coming."
"Get down."
Li Chen stuffed the last bite of the burger into his mouth.
A group of people stopped right there.
’He Qingyuan’ looked at Ye Bai with an extremely dark expression.
"Damn it, why did I just wake up recently."
"And my second personality turns out to be that damned bootlicker."
"Why didn’t any of you stop it?"
’He Qingyuan’ cursed loudly.
The people dressed in dark robes didn’t dare make a sound; they all lowered their heads, not daring to meet the Saint’s eyes.
"Fine, a bootlicker it is, but why not capture that girl."
"Eye of Insight, that’s the Eye of Insight, the talent I’ve been scheming and itching to acquire."
"If she had been captured earlier, during the blood sacrifice, I’d have a sixty percent chance of inheriting the Eye of Insight, and I could even develop it to be even more powerful."
At this moment, one of the dark-clad individuals fearfully stepped forward.
"Saint, your primary personality hadn’t awakened, you were just an ordinary person, and we didn’t know it was you back then."
"Moreover, when we found out that person had awakened the Eye of Insight, it was already too late, as they were protected by people from the Flame Country, I—"
Before the person could finish speaking, two flames shot from ’He Qingyuan’s eyes, striking the dark-clad individual.
"Nonsense."
"Regardless of whether I had awakened, the moment you learned the Eye of Insight had appeared, you should have seized it for me."
"Instead of now having to capture a hundred people and choose the best among them."
"It’s an absolute waste of time and effort."
’He Qingyuan,’ the Saint, roared loudly.
The dark-clad person screamed as they turned to ash, the smell of burning flesh wafting through the air.
Ye Bai, listening intently, suddenly felt that the voice of the person named Saint was very familiar.
Words like bootlicker and Eye of Insight suddenly prompted a guess in Ye Bai’s heart.
No way, no way, could it be that scoundrel ’He Qingyuan’ is the Saint?
The Saint’s selection standards are so low.
It feels like I could qualify as a Saint.
Ye Bai was utterly speechless.
However, he lay on the ground, motionless, trying to calm his heartbeat.
"And this person, who once humiliated my second personality, you must execute him by a thousand cuts."
"Three days later is the blood sacrifice; you need to pay close attention."
The Saint suddenly swung his cloak and led the others away.
The cell instantly became desolate.
When Ye Bai opened his eyes, Li Chen did too. They exchanged a glance: "You heard it, you heard it too?"
Zhang Yiyi ???????
No, what are you two playing at, cryptic messages?
"That Saint is actually He Qingyuan!!!" they both said in unison.
"This is quite troublesome; He Qingyuan has a deep hatred for the two of us."
One defeated his pride publicly, and the other took his Pet Beast.
In short, during the blood sacrifice, it won’t end well for the two of them.
Ye Bai realized the seriousness of the situation, racing to land himself in a pit.
Moreover, ’He Qingyuan’ seemed to be using scaremongering tactics, planning on executing him by dismembering.
"Ye Bai, what do we do now?"
Li Chen said with a wry smile. He was just a fun-loving glutton who hadn’t matured yet. He didn’t want to die here.
"Don’t worry, you two."
"Our teachers already know our location and are on their way here."
"In three days, they should be able to reach us."
"My concern now is whether someone might alert the enemy, leading to an early blood sacrifice ceremony."
"Li Chen, have you ever heard of the blood sacrifice ceremony?"
Ye Bai asked Li Chen with some concern.
Li Chen’s eyes lit up; he indeed knew about the blood sacrifice ceremony.
"The blood sacrifice ceremony is a very cruel ritual that requires the life of a Pet Beast Master as a cost to summon a Demon God from Hell."
"There are seventy-two Guardian Demon Gods in Hell."
"Each possesses different powers."
"Some are strong, some weak, but the higher ranked the Demon God, the stronger they are."
"The blood sacrifice ceremony is an equivalent exchange of a hundred Pet Beast Masters’ souls and life force to summon a Demon God."
"The larger the blood sacrifice, the more terrifying the summoned Demon God."
"If the Demon God is in a good mood, they might refine your talent for you."
"The summoning has a fixed time; three days from now on the full moon night is the best time for summoning."
"Even though it’s only a shadow of the Demon God, none of us can withstand such a presence."
"We have to destroy the ceremony before it starts."
"That’s the only way to prevent the Demon God’s descent."
Ye Bai looked at Li Chen in surprise: "How do you know so much about this?"
"It feels like you’ve experienced it yourself!"
Li Chen’s eyes showed a trace of sadness: "I actually have. I was a survivor of the Red Umbrella murders seven years ago."
"My mother replaced me as the sacrificial offering, so I’ve been investigating blood sacrifices all these years."
"I want to find the person behind the blood sacrifices and take them down."
Li Chen tightly clenched his fists and spoke viciously.
"So how do we sabotage the blood sacrifice?"
Ye Bai asked the second question.
"Actually, it’s quite simple."
"The blood sacrifice’s pattern is fixed."
"We only need to destroy the pattern, and the blood sacrifice will be completely ruined."
"But think about it, there are so many Resurrection Association people here, and the so-called Saint too."
"It’s obvious the security level here will become extremely harsh."
"Probably only before we become sacrificial offerings are we allowed to enter the altar area."
"Unless time is on our side, otherwise, it’s better for us to wait quietly for the teachers to rescue us."
Li Chen, since the Red Umbrella incident, had never spoken at such length for the first time.
"I understand, I grasp your point."
"Let’s watch and see, then figure out how to break through when the time comes."
"We must regain control of our destiny!"
