“Altar?”
Long Chen’s eyes had been focused on those girls who were crying behind the doors. Seeing the doors open, they were even more afraid, their legs going weak.
They did know who was gathered outside, and hence were too afraid to come out. However, from just the cries, Long Chen could tell there were around 500 people in there.
Killing off five hundred beautiful young girls was something that Long Chen could only admire the sect leader for his methods and callousness.
“How is she under the altar?” Long Chen quickly asked.
“I didn’t expect it either and thought she’d be with those young girls downstairs. Apparently, there’s some mechanism under the altar and Lingqing is tied to a metal pillar. Looks like she’s already fainted, though her body is fine.”
With Lingxi’s words, Long Chen could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Looking at the sect leader’s proud smile, the wrath and killing intent in him rose.
At this moment, the sect leader was paying no attention to the weeping girls and spoke to the ma.s.ses, “There might still be many who don’t know this. What’s so special about the Blood Sacrificial Ceremony this time? Let me tell you!”
As he spoke, the sect leader faced the altar and pressed down on a protruding rock. All of a sudden, a stone brick in front of the altar shifted away, and a metal pillar slowly rose from underneath. Everyone could see there was a charming young girl who was tied to the pillar with chains.
Feeling the tremors of the pillar, Yang Lingqing who had gone pale regained consciousness. Upon seeing the unfamiliar surroundings around her, as well as the thousand followers who were staring at her like a bunch of starving wolves, she sucked in a cold breath.
“She is the greatest surprise for me, and do you know why? Because…”
With a gaze full of appreciation as if for an artwork, the sect leader strolled towards Yang Lingqing and seemed to go crazy, “Because she has the Abstruse Shadow Body!”
“The Abstruse Shadow Body?”
“What is this Abstruse Shadow Body? What can it do?”
The followers were mostly at the Dragon Pulse Realm and knew very little. It was expected that they did not know about this ‘abstruse shadow body’.
“You don’t need to know what it is. All you need to know is that within this beautiful girl lies blood equal to that of a thousand young girls, or perhaps more than that…”
Having said this, the sect leader chuckled heartily, and upon hearing this, all the followers felt a fire in their hearts as they looked towards Yang Lingqing, extremely excited.
“With her around, most people will be able to raise their strength by a level just with this blood bath and with a little more effort. It is very possible for cultivators at the ninth dragon vein to solidify their Deity Dan through this process. When that happens, our Crimson Blood Sacred Sect will have at least thirty Human Dan Realm cultivators! This is therefore a significant time for us where we will rise to the top. Everyone, look forward to it!”
Hearing the words of the sect leader, the followers all began to cheer.
This was especially important to cultivators at the ninth dragon vein. As long as they could solidify their Human Dan, they could instantly achieve success!
The sect leader then turned towards the five sect elders and clicked his tongue, “Sect elders, I want to find out as well. Who amongst you will reach the Earth Dan Realm?”
The five sect elders were so emotional that they sank to their knees, grateful, “We owe everything to the sect leader. If we gain more power, we will follow the sect leader until our deaths, going through fire and water and any adversity for you. Our lives are yours, sect elder!”
With the sect elders leading, the followers agitatedly knelt and were insanely happy.
Yang Lingqing quietly watched on.
She had thought that after the dispersal of the Bai family, she would be able to live a peaceful life. Never did she expect that she would get into such a dangerous situation again. Long Chen was physically not too far away and could save her the last time, but this was different.
She was trapped here alone, and every single person around her was a powerful existence she could not compare to. Any of the people here could easily take care of Grandfather Yang. With all these formidable people around, not even a G.o.d could save her.
Hence, Yang Lingqing had now entirely given up hope.
It was impossible for her to say she was not afraid, but since she was facing death already, many figures flashed before her eyes. At the thought of the last person in her mind, she suddenly felt like things weren’t so scary anymore. Her delicate body was filled with immense strength.
“I hope that with my death, the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect can let the Yang family off. Brother, please train peacefully. Once you truly become strong, avenge your sister. I know you will…”
“With you around, n.o.body can bully me, but the reality is ruthless. No matter how strong you are, there’s always someone in this world who can best you.”
Biting her lips, Yang Lingqing forced herself to be strong. She raised her head, gazing at the beasts around her disdainfully.
“Only by doing this will I not humiliate you, brother…”
The underground city was now sealed off. Yang Lingqing scanned the crowd and then laughed helplessly, speechless at her own actions.
With the emotional words of the sect leader, all the followers were stirred up. The fear and complaints they had towards their sect leader vanished.
Long Chen coldly looked on. Yang Lingqing was right in front of him, but the sect leader was right beside her. He did not act rashly.
