Blood sacrifice!

As soon as the two words were uttered, silence fell over the surroundings.

Three cultivators at the peak of the Third Realm focused their minds, emanating an invisible pressure that eroded the surrounding area, making the grassland seem to freeze.

"This is absolutely unacceptable. It's one thing to fight when we're enemies, but now that we've declared our intention to cooperate with the Tulang Tribe, how can we possibly plot against them from behind?"

After a while, the Lingxiu Fairy spoke. She hadn't been cultivating for long and had risen to prominence through a chance fortuitous opportunity, but she was familiar with some of the stories in the cultivation world. As soon as she heard it, she understood Ding Chunzi's plan and directly objected.

Before Ding Chunzi could speak, the Prison Dragon Island Lord, his brows furrowed, said, "It's not that we can't consider it..."

Upon hearing this, the Lingxiu Fairy's eyes, hidden beneath her veil, suddenly changed, and she whispered, "Could it be that the island lord also has the same plan? To sacrifice this group of people?"

"It wasn't a sacrifice," Prison-Dragon Guest solemnly, as if he had made up his mind. "It was Qiu Yan who caused this. If he hadn't stirred up such a storm on the Grasslands, the Tulang Tribe wouldn't have ended up like this, and there wouldn't have been a blood sacrifice. Ultimately, it was all Qiu Yan who harmed them!"

"That's right!" Ding Chunzi nodded. "We should be clarifying the relationships involved!"

"That's robber logic!" Lingxiu Fairy's voice turned icy. "Even if you can convince yourselves, the Karma and sins brought about by so many lives lost and souls died Karmic Sin will be beyond imagination, dragging down your cultivation level. We are not Evil Dao, how can we do such a thing?"

"Fairy, there's no need to worry," Ding Chunzi smiled, clearly having prepared in advance. "Seize the opportunity. The blood sacrifice will not only not affect us, but will also bring us great benefits. We can leave the Karma and Karmic Sin to Qiu Yan and neutralize the slave popularity he has gathered!" There was a calm and composed air about her in control of the situation in her words.

These words left Lingxiu Fairy speechless for a moment.

After a long pause, she finally uttered a single word. "Inhuman!"

Having said that, Lingxiu Fairy ignored the ugly expressions on the faces of the two men opposite her, bowed, and said, "This humble woman still has a conscience and knows she is no match for you two, but she will never compromise her principles. I will take my leave now!" As she finished speaking, she turned around, and light scattered from her clothes, rising into the air, but only a few feet high. In the empty air, streaks of ink flashed, twisting and shifting, flowing in the air as if they were alive—clearly, a restriction formed by talismans!

"Want to leave? Don't you even consider that such an important matter wouldn't be left unprepared? At the very least, there should be a barrier to isolate the sound and shadow, to avoid karmic Karma and others finding out in advance." Ding Chunzi narrowed his eyes. "Since you're in such a hurry, you probably don't intend to tell Qiu Yan about my painstaking arrangements. I won't let you have your way this time! Until things are done, I ask that you stay by my side for now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thought skipped through him, a feeling of unease rising within him. But he quickly suppressed it.

"Not good!" Lingxiu Fairy sensed something was wrong. Before the other party could finish speaking, she made a hand seal. Her fingertips glowed, and she pointed forward, radiating light. But before the light could spread, a gourd flew out of Ding Chunzi's sleeve. The gourd opened its mouth, and a cold, eerie light flew out, circled in the air, and the temperature plummeted, causing a thin layer of frost to appear on the grass and trees.

"This is..." Lingxiu Fairy eyes widened, and a voice immediately rang in her mind--

"Don't worry about all that. Quickly calm your mind and stop fighting back. This is the Lunar True Essence, which you can't handle. Rashly confronting it will only harm you! You can only maintain your position within the circle for now and wait for an opportunity!"

As soon as the words fell, Lingxiu Fairy gasped. She did not refute them, but did as she was told. She indeed stopped her Method Formula, spun around herself, held her breath, and calmed her mind.

The next moment, a cold light, like a rope, hovered over her body, then suddenly contracted, binding her. It then pulled her figure, making her blurry and distorted, before finally stretching and pulling her into the gourd.

Snap!

The stopper fell, and the gourd flew back into Ding Chunzi's hand. He held it to his ear, listened to the voice inside, and praised, "This Lingxiu Fairy has risen to prominence in such a short time; she certainly has unique abilities. At least she has some insight. In just one glance, she saw that she couldn't be defeated by force and instead circulated her power within herself, without leaking a single drop, guarding her True Spirit. She is safe. However, given enough time, she will still be broken by the Taiyin True Essence. She should not have lost her virginity yet. The True Yin body is quite helpful to the Lunar True Essence and can be used to accelerate its ripening."

Beside him, the Prison Dragon Island Lord was startled to see a cultivator at the peak of the Third Realm captured in the blink of an eye. He realized that although Ding Chunzi's cultivation was not high, his trump card was not to be underestimated.

Finally, he looked at the gourd, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes, which he quickly concealed, and asked, "Could this gourd be the legendary Supreme Yin Gourd, one of the three great treasures of the Burial Bone Dao?"

"Indeed, it is the Supreme Yin Gourd. My junior disciples were worried that something might happen to me, and they were also busy with other matters, so they asked me to bring this with me, just in case. Island Master, do not be fooled by the great power of this thing, it is not easy to activate. Every time I activate it, it takes a lot of effort, and I need to rest for many days afterward."

He spoke tactfully, as if conversing with an old friend, making no attempt to conceal the flaws of this trump card, as if he were not worried about what the Prison Dragon Island Lord might do.

In reality, he and the Prison-Dragon Guest were only recent acquaintances, and he had noticed a slight emotional fluctuation in the other's expression, knowing that the Dragon Prisoner was tempted by the treasure. However, he was equally confident that, given his background and status, even if the Prison-Dragon Guest had several times the courage, the other wouldn't dare to make a move.

Even if you have the guts to steal, you might not live to use it.

When others use treasures, it's a case of "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." But Ding Chunzi is no ordinary person; he has a powerful background and is different. His words also point out this, issuing a warning to the Prison-Dragon Guest.

"With such a treasure, this matter is now foolproof. Please, senior, reveal your plan so that we can all share our strategies and work together." The Prison-Dragon Guest also appeared to be quite perceptive.

"How can such a big matter be announced to the public? If there is one Lingxiu Fairy, there will naturally be a second and a third," Ding Chunzi sneered. "It's enough for you and me to know about this. We'll act according to plan when the time comes. Others are already connected to our fate. Do you think they can turn the world upside down?"

"Senior is indeed very thoughtful." Prison-Dragon Guest quickly expressed his opinion, appearing to follow Ding Chunzi.

"Don't be shy. I'm telling you this so you can give me some advice. After all, it's not a small matter, and we need to be careful."

The Prison-Dragon Guest nodded repeatedly and approached. The two began to discuss, their words carrying a hint of a sense of control over their destiny, as they calculated the various scenarios that would follow.

After that, things unfolded as they had planned. Among the remaining Tulang Tribe, one was the one who led the attack on Dingchang City that day, indirectly causing Old Kai's death. Qiu Yan would not let this person go; this was his promise to Old Kai.

Although Ding Chunzi and the others were unaware of the promise, they could easily discern it by combining intelligence and their Divine Ability calculations. They used this person as bait to lure Qiu Yan in and create a chaotic battle.

Qiu Yan's army fought against the young men of the Tulang Tribe, but Ding Chunzi transformed the entire battlefield into a battle formation and added a kind of elixir to the Tulang Tribe's food beforehand.

Individually, both elixirs and array diagrams can Great Qi and are excellent inheritances. However, when used together, they are mutually exclusive, though not posing a significant threat. The problem is that Qiu Yan's side, currently engaged in battle, has accumulated numerous Karma and effects and Karmic Sin.

These Karma and Karmic Sin were originally scattered, targeting various tribes. However, when Qiu Yan gathered all the slaves, the Karma and Karmic Sin were integrated and broadened, becoming a resentment directed at the entire Grasslands. This allowed Qiu Yan to use this as a pretext to kill the Tulang Tribe without incurring any karmic Karma. Instead, he was used to resolve and dissolve the Karma.

It should be noted that even with Lord Shi's abilities, when he encountered the Tulang Tribe's group leaving Dingchang, he did not kill them due to Karma entanglements, but simply used a gust of wind to blow them away. This shows the impact of reckless killing on those who cultivate themselves.

However, Qiu Yan's situation was different. Because of a promise he made to Old Kai and the hopes he placed on the wounded soldiers in the Wounded Soldiers' Camp, he was already bound by Karma chains. With his current abilities, he could have broken free, but he left them on, using them as a guide to gather the Karma of slaves and draw a portion of the enormous Karmic Sin on the Grasslands over. By substituting one thing for another, he could offset the effects of the killing.

However, these Karma and effects, these acts of killing, when they encountered the elixirs and array diagrams set up by Ding Chunzi, were like boiling oil poured into a fire, forcefully igniting the youthful and strong Fortune of the Tulang Tribe, causing it to expand rapidly, and ultimately...

Everything that reaches its peak will decline!

"A decisive move!" Qiu Yan understood the whole story as soon as he looked at the cloud of Fortune. He had not expected that the other party would have such a ruthless mind, not hesitating to bring together many things that were originally beneficial and reverse the effect!

This tactic is similar to Qiu Yan's substitution method, but the results are quite different!

The young men, who had reached the peak of their strength but were now declining, were all wailing in pain. Their muscles and bones were twitching, their flesh was swelling, and their Qi and Blood and energy were rapidly rising!

"This is a blood sacrifice..." Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the scene on the battlefield.

"Not bad!" From another army formation, Ding Chunzi sneered, "I had long ago passed on to them a set of body-strengthening methods that could improve their strength and Great Qi. But these harmless Cultivation Method, elixirs, and formations, when combined with the Karma of the Slave Army, had a completely different effect. The combination of the two was even more potent than the most poisonous methods! But ultimately, it was all Qiu Yan's doing! It had nothing to do with us! Everyone, please hold your Method Formula and focus all your strength on defeating the enemy!"

After saying this, he took the lead and drew the suddenly growing Fortune of Tu Lang over. The young man quickly exploded one after another, but it had nothing to do with Fortune. Ding Chunzi and the other cultivators, it turned into clouds and gradually became a canopy, pressing down on Qiu Yan. It was unstoppable and completely suppressed the Fortune and formation of the Slave Army. The latter's momentum immediately diminished!

Just then, Qiu Yan stepped forward, activating a pillar of energy that pierced through heaven and earth!

Then, the Dragon Qi manifested, and the cultivators fought desperately, using their Cultivation Method and trump Law Treasure, even stimulating their Essence Blood and squeezing out their potential. They fought fiercely, but still could not shake the pillar of energy. Instead, Qiu Yan absorbed it, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

But in the end, a faint black aura spread out, slowly engulfing the heavens and earth. The sky seemed to change color, and the dim sunlight attacked Qiu Yan, but ultimately stopped three steps away from him. Then time reversed, and he returned to two months ago.

Then, Qiu Yan led his army to attack the Grasslands again. When Qiu Yan used his energy pillar to suck everyone in, the sky darkened again. But this time, the dim sunlight fell and finally touched Qiu Yan's body!

"Success! This person will become my pawn!" A thought, tinged with joy, arose in the sunlight, only to be followed by an unexpected turn of events—

Qiu Yan shuddered, his eyes gleaming, and he transformed into a person. He made a hand Hand Seals, and a blood-red aura gathered. It was none other than the Fortune of the Tulang Tribe after being tricked and sacrificed by Ding Chunzi!

A yellow glow flickered, and a sparse amount of Second Grade divine power drifted out, solidifying into a tangible form.

Gods receive blood sacrifices; thoughts become reality!

The next moment, the long river appeared out of thin air, roaring and spreading in Eight Directions, even tearing off a piece from the dim sunlight and merging into the river!

Suddenly, time and space reversed! (To be continued...)
