Chapter 69: JinJin Village [3] (1/2)
As a result, a number of blood cultivators had decided to avoid making pacts with the divine beasts. Rather, they would obtain the much less powerful magical creatures. No ascension tribulations meant no sudden death and no fright of death over a dying divine beasts.
Nevertheless, the importance of Xue Wu was significant in any cultivation world. Due to their scrying oracles, they had become an integral part of the cultivation world. Every village had a Xue Wu who carried out the village's divination.
Elder wang Xu sent out her awareness to intercept the bird.
”Xue Wu?”
”Yes, immortal one. My name is Yan Dai.”
”Yan Dai?”
”Yes, immortal one. Please, help me.”
”Where are you?”
”JinJin village, immortal elder.”
”JinJin? Hmm. Why do you need my help?”
”They're going to kill me.”
”Why? What did you do?”
”Nothing, immortal one. They are blaming me for what I didn't do.”
”Continue.”
”First, they accused me of being Xue Ku. And now, they''re saying I'm responsible for the disappearances of many children in JinJin and other villages too.”
”Are you?”
”No, immortal one.”
”You better don't tell lies. Those are serious offenses in a mortal world.”
”No, immortal one. I'm not lying.”
”So, why are they accusing you?”
”I don't know. But I believe the one responsible is still here in JinJin?”
”Huh? How did you know?”
”Before my parents died, I heard them talking about something they discovered. There's a powerful Xu Ku who has a connection to the villages so the children could be taken. My parents were about to expose the roots of the disappearances when they were killed.”
”Continue.”
”Something powerful and extremely fast entered our house. But before he could enter, it had to pass through the defensive array. Although it took seconds for it to break the defense, but while trying to do that, my father used our ancestral heavenly artifact on me and I couldn't remember anything from there. By the time I came around, I found them decayed. Please immortal elder, I can no longer hold the connection.”
”Okay, go. If what you say it's true, I'll see what I can do. But if you are lying, you must face their consequences.”
A Xue Ku in the village?
A Xue Ku, rogue blood cultivator. It was the forbidden side of Xue Wu, true blood cultivator.
Rogue blood cultivation. Completely draining the life-force of innocent mortals thereby turning them to Spectres before bonding them. They didn't bond with one but hundred or thousands of spectres. That gave Xu Kus more power than the Xue Wus due to the pure karmic virtues in innocent mortal souls. The power of the spectres could also allow the rogue blood cultivators to launch powerful soul attacks. Extremely powerful blood cultivators.
Elder Wang Xiu recalled her awareness and turned to the waiting group. Caution was greatly needed when facing a situation like that or else, she could easily loose her life. She began to explain what was happening to the disciples.
