Chapter 173: Priests and Slaughters
"Hehehehe..."
Xiao Daojue smiled wickedly, his dejected demeanor completely gone.
In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was granted the title of Marquis, to the time when everyone cheered and flattered him when he arrived at his fiefdom.
He looked into the eyes of the mentally challenged young man; those eyes were so clear.
His current joy was somewhat diluted by the clarity of his eyes.
It's as if he's saying, "Even though he killed him, he doesn't blame him."
"You nuisance, I'll send you through reincarnation, you fool. Maybe you'll be reborn into a better life next time."
Xiao Daojue felt inexplicably annoyed and kicked the head of the mentally challenged youth away.
"If it weren't for me, I'm afraid you, you idiot, would have been tortured to a pulp by that damned manager!"
The splashing dust obscured his eyes.
Xiao Daojue felt much better after that.
The thought of using the corpse of a mentally challenged youth for the blood sacrifice made Xiao Daojue suppress his disgust and pull the corpse back, merging it with the head.
"The separation and union of Yin and Yang... countless blood and evil spirits, all return to creation, sacrificed to the heavens..."
Xiao Daojue's eyes glowed red as he chanted a strange sacrificial inscription.
He recited it with ease and with a clear mind.
It was as if this eulogy was made for him out of the blue.
He carried the body of the mentally challenged youth onto a raised platform made of earth, and chanted the incantation over and over again.
The blood-red light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
The corpse of the mentally challenged youth was swallowed up inch by inch in the red light. Xiao Daojue was not afraid at all; instead, he showed a hint of joy.
This ritual was performed by the demon, who no longer cared about it at all.
He no longer cared whether that eerie voice had ulterior motives towards him.
Because Xiao Daojue had already lost everything!
The sun set exceptionally quickly today.
The mentally challenged youth's body vanished completely from the blood-stained earthen platform.
"babble!"
After a long while, Xiao Daojue felt a violent fluctuation enter his body, and he groaned comfortably.
Suddenly, I felt a significant increase in the magical power within my body.
Immediately afterwards, a cultivation technique filled with evil and murderous intent appeared in his mind.
"The Sutra of Sacrificing to Life and Slaughtering Officials, what a fine Sutra of Sacrificing to Life and Slaughtering Officials!"
Xiao Daojue laughed wildly.
This is because the scripture seemed to have been created for him from birth, requiring no spiritual roots or any talent whatsoever.
He can gain the cultivation level and aptitude of others by killing and sacrificing them.
Just like now, he has already successfully broken through to the first level of Qi Refining by killing a mentally challenged young man.
At this rate, reaching the mid-stage and late-stage Qi Refining realms is just around the corner for him.
Even his future breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage—
It only requires sacrificing 100,000 mortals, their blood offerings, to successfully forge the foundation of the Blood Dao.
Even if they are later hunted down by righteous cultivators, it doesn't matter.
Because once he breaks through, he can discard his original body, re-possess it, and escape, while his Dao foundation will remain intact.
"Now, no one can look down on me anymore!"
"Once I've reached the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, I'll go back and slaughter the entire Liang Kingdom as a sacrifice. I want all those who have offended me, all those who offended me in the past, to die!"
Xiao Daojue was so excited that his whole body was trembling, and he licked his lips.
"That senior brother in charge, those talisman masters who insulted me, and Lu Qingyun and Chen Xiru, just wait, I will kill you all with my own hands, cut you into a thousand pieces, and then perform a blood sacrifice on you one by one."
"Just wait, you will all become my provisions, you will all!"
"Xiao Daojue, what's wrong with you? Where did that idiot Bai Cheng go? Have you finished cutting down all 150 bitter bamboos today? If not, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
A disciple with a high-pitched voice suddenly walked over. He looked at Xiao Daojue, who was covered in dirt, and covered his nose in disgust.
"Where did you get so dirty and filthy? Take off those clothes right now, or I'll whip you right now!"
As he spoke, he waved the whip in his hand, urging Xiao Daojue to leave.
Xiao Daojue turned his head coldly, his eyes suddenly revealing murderous intent.
He had initially thought this person had discovered that he had killed the mentally challenged youth, but upon hearing his voice, he realized that the person had come to collect bitter bamboo.
That makes sense. He had already sacrificed the entire foolish young man to an unknown demon, so how could this person have discovered it?
However, he spent the entire afternoon sacrificing to the mentally challenged youth, so he didn't have time to cut down any bitter bamboo.
Now is not the time to turn against this person.
Although Xiao Daojue obtained the supreme demonic scripture "Sacrifice of Life and Slaughter Scripture", he had not yet sacrificed many people, and his cultivation was only at the first level of Qi Refining.
Although the outer disciple in front of him was not highly skilled, only at the second level of Qi Refining, Xiao Daojue was no match for him in a direct confrontation.
Not to mention that if he were to report this to the higher-ups of the Yunxia Sect, those half-step Foundation Establishment cultivators and even Foundation Establishment True Persons might very well come to capture him.
Turning his head, Xiao Daojue's murderous intent had subsided, and he naturally revealed a fawning expression: "This senior brother..."
"Senior Brother Wang."
The sharp-nosed senior brother covered his nose again, saying with disgust.
"Brother Wang, it's not that we didn't come to greet you or present the bitter bamboo; it's just that when we were digging up the roots of the bitter bamboo, we accidentally unearthed a brocade box containing a small bag..."
"There were a few shiny stones and a cloth bag inside, which seemed to be the spirit stones and storage bag that my senior brothers were talking about."
Xiao Daojue paused, then said nervously, "That's why Bai Cheng was guarding that place. I left alone, wanting to find a senior brother immediately to hand it over to the sect."
"Spirit stones, storage bag!"
Senior Brother Wang's eyes lit up without suspicion. After all, he couldn't imagine why Xiao Daojue would lie to him. Did he want to be whipped?
Yunxia Sect is a large sect with many rumors. From time to time, you can hear news about which peak or which disciple has obtained a hidden opportunity or found a treasure.
Upon hearing this good news, Senior Brother Wang no longer cared about the blood and filth on Xiao Daojue's body; he hurriedly grabbed Xiao Daojue's hand:
"Junior brother, take me there quickly! With this treasure, I will carefully preserve it and hand it over to the sect. When the sect approves it, you will be greatly rewarded for your contribution!"
"Senior brother, will the sect reward Junior Brother Bai and me with a talisman master?"
Xiao Daojue deliberately hesitated.
"Of course! Our sect is absolutely fair and just; we would never mistreat you!"
Little did Senior Brother Wang know, he was only thinking about quickly seizing that opportunity and then killing those two filthy servants to silence them, so he hurriedly gave a perfunctory reply.
Xiao Daojue seemed to finally feel relieved.
They led Senior Brother Wang to a deserted cliff where few people went.
Without a shred of doubt, Senior Brother Wang stepped towards the barren cliff. He gradually grew impatient and kept urging Xiao Daojue on.
How much further?
Only when they reached the edge of the barren cliff did Xiao Daojue suddenly step back, and whisper in his ear:
"Senior brother, this is it. I'll take you to Bai Cheng right away and have him tell you about this opportunity!"
Senior Brother Wang sensed something was wrong, but Xiao Daojue's previous disguise made him completely lower his guard, and he suddenly felt himself falling towards the dry cliff.
Senior Brother Wang shouted in terror:
"No, you're lying to me!"
