"Hey, what kind of talk is that? If I hadn't brought you guys along, would you have been able to relax like this for so long? You'd be suffocating back at the research station."
"That's true. Since we have to leave soon, why not make the most of the last moments and have some fun? Little Ji is much more carefree than you guys; she's already made all the arrangements."
Hatred Demon rolled his eyes at the two of them, then praised Ji Nanzhi a couple of times.
Ji Nanzhi to the other two Heavenly Demons at the opportune moment before speaking.
"We originally planned a grand banquet for the Great Sages, a feast that would last a century. But since you all seem to be leaving soon, we can't delay. This banquet has been prepared for a long time, so we must make sure you are all very comfortable."
"That's right, that's right, sister. We've set up blood sacrifice arrays on several planets. Just give the order, and the final banquet can begin at any time."
The Old Ox leaned against the Succubus, looking docile.
"See that? That's how things are done."
Hatred Demon glanced at his two teammates before triumphantly accepting the wine from Ji Nanzhi.
"This wine is truly excellent. It's a pity that back in the Holy Church, no one will know how to brew it."
"If you ask me, it's just a kid. When he gets here, we can just take him out."
The Envy Demon took the wine and poured a whole pot down his throat.
"You've got some nerve. If this were on our territory, it might work, but what kind of place is this? This is the territory of those guys from the Kingdom of Fixed Light. If they investigate, it'll be a real pain."
"It's not that exaggerated. He was just a kid. So what if he died?"
"Their people are incredibly valuable. Do you think everyone is like you and me, someone who fought their way out of piles of corpses?"
"That's a born aristocrat, his fate was sealed from birth."
"Why wasn't I born a child of stars? Tell me, in what way am I inferior to them?"
"You're unlucky, and you're not smart either. Who knows who pulled strings to get you sitting here?"
"I bet someone used connections to get in."
The Succubus continued the conversation with a smile, while the Old Ox obediently fed her food and water.
"By the way, Great Sage, we have discovered a new cultivation technique that allows practitioners to communicate with each other. If you and your companions cultivate together, your cultivation speed will definitely be even faster."
Seeing that several rounds of drinks had passed, Ji Nanzhi gave a wink, Ge Baoqi promptly presented the Crimson Blood One Heart Art.
The Three Demons were very interested in the cultivation system of Divine Land, because this power was something they had cultivated themselves, and every bit of that power felt very reassuring.
The group naturally became interested in the martial arts technique that Ge Baoqi had presented.
They each took a copy and began to study it carefully.
Although they hadn't been practicing cultivation for very long, their high status meant they could approach these techniques from a higher to a lower level, making it much easier for them to learn.
Before long, the Hatred Demon laughed, and a red thread was pulled out from his body.
"This is really interesting, this is really interesting!"
Almost simultaneously, the other two demons also mastered their techniques, and three red threads were drawn out and connected together.
The Hatred Demon glanced at them briefly, and Ji Nanzhi and the others were already connected by red threads, it directly controlled its own thread and connected to them.
"From now on, your cultivation will be handled by designated personnel, which is excellent."
The cultivation technique the three of them received was not the final version, but a simplified version for Ji Qiu's evil body, so its functions were naturally much fewer.
"Great Sage, the banquet is halfway over; it's time to see you off."
Ji Nanzhi said calmly.
"Alright, alright, bring out the surprise!"
The Hatred Demon clapped his hands and laughed loudly.
"Very well, let's see the power of this blood sacrifice formation."
Ji Nanzhi gently tossed the cup in his hand away, and the operation he had been preparing for for many years began to take shape.
The moment the cup shattered, Tang Huhu activated his magic, channeling the combined fortune of millions of people towards Ji Nanzhi, Ge Baoqi, and Old Ox.
At the same time, on the surface of several planets in the Solar System, a blood-red array appeared without warning. Before the cultivators could make any move, the array began to operate.
All the cultivators inside the formation instantly turned into blood, without any ability to resist.
Guided by the great formation, countless souls surged toward Venus.
"What a wonderful feast! Excellent!"
Even at this point, the Three Demons did not sense any threat, because due to the Crimson Blood One Heart Art, all their killing intent was transferred to the evil body.
"Please let the Three Saints return to their rightful places."
Ji Nanzhi in a deep voice, and immediately, the three of them also took action.
The key to possession lies in this blood sacrifice.
With only three people, it was impossible to withstand the power of the Heavenly Demon. So, the only option was to resort to the traditional tactics of the Divine Land: the human wave tactic.
The years of planning were not without strategy.
All souls with kind hearts and a desire to save the world have already entered Tang Huhu's Golden Fortune Golden Core, while few souls that recklessly Samsara and wage endless wars are truly clean.
While it's impossible to rule them all out, this already represents a sliver of goodwill from Ji Nanzhi when formulating the plan.
They were facing no minor characters; they were facing a demon that even the most powerful could hardly resist.
All sacrifices are necessary costs, as long as success can be achieved...
Li Xingkong made no move. He could have easily stopped the blood sacrifice, but things had progressed to this point, and there was no longer any chance to make any other plans.
Even he couldn't stop this revenge that had been planned for nearly a century at this point.
All he could do was silently activate the Thousand Mountains Method to add an extra layer of protection to this body-seizing process.
After the torrent of souls arrived at the main hall, it seemed to have found an outlet. Guided by Ji Nanzhi and the other two, it rushed towards the souls of the Three Demons along the red thread of the Crimson Blood One Heart Art.
The power of a single soul is weak and fragile, but when such a large number of souls come together, they create a force that can kill an elephant with sheer numbers.
The Three Demons were initially indulging in their amusement, but soon they realized something was wrong.
My own soul is being worn down and devoured; what is being transmitted is not sustenance, but adversaries!
Ji Nanzhi and the other two had already entered the battle mode. With the blessing of the Record of All Living Beings Weeping Blood, they mingled in the Sea of Souls and charged towards the Three Demons.
Sensing something was wrong, the Hatred Demon raised its hand and blasted towards Ji Nanzhi. However, what stood in front of it had already become an empty shell. Ji Nanzhi's soul had already been mixed in with a torrent and rushed into its body.
This is a do-or-die endeavor.
The same operation was simultaneously performed on Ge Baoqi and Old Ox, with each of the three commanding a demon and carrying out the act of possession.
In this operation, Li Xingkong was indeed of little help. He flashed into the main hall and put pressure on the Three Demons from the outside.
Success or failure Li Xingkong's role in this plan is truly limited.
