”Trying to run?”
Ye Ling frowned, seeing that Cheng Feng wanted to take the chance to escape, the corners of his mouth raised into a sneer, and suddenly rushed forward.
Plop!
”I'll tell you!” Cheng Feng's face was pale white. Facing death, he naturally did not want to die here. Ye Ling's terror had far surpassed his expectations.
”Very good!”
”I like people like you! Tell me who you are and why you are here. What does the Blood Demon have to do with you?!”
Ye Ling nodded with a cold smile. Seeing that Cheng Feng was not stubborn, he was naturally too lazy to waste words, and directly asked for the reason.
”My name is Cheng Feng and I are subordinates of the Ye Family in the Upper Realm. I don't know much about the Blood Demons, I only know that this time, they were ordered to use the Goliath race to unseal the Blood Demons.”
Cheng Feng was terrified. Facing the sword in Ye Ling's hands, he did not dare to spout nonsense.
”Ye Family?”
Ye Ling suddenly frowned, the person in front of him was sent by the Ye Family, which confused him, and thought: ”Is there anyone in the Ye Family who cares about the mortal world? Could that blood demon be related to the Ye Family? ”
”Whose life do you follow?”
”Why did the barbarians agree to lift the blood demon's seal?”
Ye Ling became serious and questioned Cheng Feng in a low voice. He did not believe that Cheng Feng only knew about this, for him to be sent to this world by the Ye Family, he must be a trusted subordinate.
The Ye Family of the Upper Realm was huge, and had a lot of subordinate forces. It was normal for there to be people with another surname, but Ye Ling was very curious, who would be so interested in the Blood Demon?
”This little one isn't sure. We don't even know her real name.” Cheng Feng was startled, his expression panicking. Facing Ye Ling's threats, he naturally did not dare to say anything, and furthermore, he did not know which expert of the Ye Family was it.
”Humph!” You still dare to hide in front of me? ” Ye Ling frowned, his face was filled with anger, and he suddenly slashed his sword downwards.
”No!” Cheng Feng shouted, but everything was useless, the instant the sword landed, Cheng Feng's head dropped to the ground, with a poof, he died on the spot.
In truth, Ye Ling knew that Cheng Feng was not lying. To have connections with the Blood Demon, how could he reveal his identity? He was only finding an excuse to kill Cheng Feng.
”Emperor Huang once said that Ye Wuhen purposely wanted to break the seal. His goal looked like to release the barbarians, but it was actually aimed at the blood demons!”
Ye Ling guessed that the only person who could obtain the answer today was Ye Wuhen, but he did not have the time to return right now.
If the Ye Family wanted to release the blood demons, there must be a hidden reason behind it. In order to prevent this from happening, he could only do his best to stop them.
”Whiz!”
Ye Ling did not stop and directly headed towards the edge of the sea of blood, towards the barbarian's territory, waiting for the right opportunity to find the blood demon's whereabouts.
Crossing the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, this was Ye Ling's first time going to the barbarian's territory.
This place was filled with an aura of desolation. There wasn't the slightest trace of spiritual essence here, and instead, it was as if this place was cut off from the rest of the world and retained the desolate lands from the ancient era.
Ye Ling stepped into the place and immediately flew into the forest to hide. In order to avoid attracting anyone's attention, he traveled through the forest below, and not long after, a terrifying aura pounced over.
Ye Ling stopped in his tracks. He saw a sky-upholding giant peak in the middle of the mountains and seas ahead. Behind the giant peak, a bloody glow soared to the skies and the terrifying aura came from that direction.
”The Blood Demon is sealed there?” Ye Ling frowned. Although he had found the location where the Blood Demon was sealed, he felt extremely heavy. As this was the territory of the Goliath race, he could face a fierce battle at any time.
Whoosh!
The northern wind was soft and chilling to the bone. However, in the desolate forest, there was a sense of vicissitudes, causing one to feel a sense of oppression.
Along the way, Ye Ling saw a pile of beast bones in the forest. However, he did not see a single barbarian.
”Did all the barbarians die?” Ye Ling was very curious. Along the way, he did not find any trace of the barbarians.
When he neared Mighty Heaven Peak, he suddenly felt the aura of the High Priest Tu Long.
”Tu Long is at the top of this peak?” Ye Ling's expression turned gloomy, when he surveyed his surroundings, he saw that the huge rock house at the foot of the mountain, was actually empty.
Ye Ling could not help but be on high alert. When he went around the giant peak, he arrived at the place where the Blood Demon was sealed.
Several figures emerged from within the barrier as they observed from the top of the mountain. The elderly, weak, and handicapped barbarians were sitting cross-legged on the ground. A bloody light shrouded their heads as they remained motionless.
”Is this barbarian sacrificing his own life?” Ye Ling was shocked, but at that moment, he finally understood why Cheng Feng was talking about the blood sacrifice. The barbarians were using their lives to offer it to the blood demons, to help it break the seal.
”Despicable!”
”High Priest Tu Long is really merciless, he did not even let his own people go!”
When Ye Ling heard the truth, he became even angrier. Amongst the remaining barbarian people, there were weak wives and children, and even elderly people who were at the brink of death.
”That's not right!” ”Where are the remaining barbarians?” When Ye Ling saw the barbarians inside the barrier, his face immediately became dark.
The barbarians were abandoning the old and weak, using his life to unseal the blood demons. The remaining people had disappeared, which gave Ye Ling a bad omen.
