Lin Yu didn't want to look at that scripture anymore, so he picked up another scripture from the bookshelf, opened it, and saw that it was also written in blood.
However, the title page also features a burning lotus flower, with the words "Fire Lotus Society" written in Japanese next to it.
"Fire Lotus Society..." Lin Yu looked at these three words and realized that this was clearly the sect of that evil sect.
Turning the page further, although the handwriting was messy, the content was still vaguely legible.
The inscription above states that the "Fire Lotus Society" is a sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years in the Xiao Ri Zi area. Its doctrine is "Hell is Bodhi," and it believes that death can summon Bodhisattvas.
There are also some Fire Lotus Society spells and blood sacrifice rituals.
In particular, Lin Yu saw a spell called "Cursed Fire Rebirth," which involved writing the enemy's name on a scripture and then throwing it into the "Three Flavors True Fire" to burn the enemy to death in their sleep.
Lin Yu scoffed at this curse. It was only effective against those with weak or no Primordial Spirit. Would you dare curse someone with Primordial Spirit?
It's possible that the person casting the curse will sense it as soon as it's cast, and the curse caster could instantly suffer a backlash and die.
Lin Yu, unable to bear the sight any longer, dissected the pregnant woman, removed the fetus, and soaked it in a medicinal broth, claiming that "the baby's cries can awaken the sleeping Ming King."
If you were awakened, these Bodhisattvas would probably kill you first. Wouldn't that be needlessly wasting their merits and virtues?
Especially these scriptures, isn't that the Buddhist and Daoist scripture Lin Yu had read, the Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Dharma?
It's obvious that these people can't even understand Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism.
A scripture can be misinterpreted as "hell is enlightenment," and it is even believed that creating bloodshed can hasten the descent of Maitreya Bodhisattva.
"No wonder this place is so eerie." After understanding the situation, Lin Yu put the scriptures back. These scriptures were copied using the blood from the fingertips of living people who had been sacrificed.
He recalled the faint sobs in the corridor; those captured refugees were probably sacrifices for the "Fire Lotus Society's " blood sacrifice.
Just as he was about to turn around to investigate the place where the refugees were being held, he heard a series of hurried footsteps outside the study.
Lin Yu looked over and saw the white-clad maid who had left earlier walk in with her head down, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her dress, her shoulders trembling. She was completely different from the puppet-like figure she had been before.
"Found out?" The sorcerer sat on the prayer mat in front of the shrine, his fingers unconsciously stroking the blood-red chain around his neck.
The maid knelt down with a thud, burying her head even lower, her voice trembling with tears. "M-Master, we... we couldn't find it."
The sorcerer's face instantly darkened. He abruptly raised his hand, and a wisp of black energy shot out from his palm, striking the maid's shoulder.
The maid screamed, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, but she dared not raise her hand to wipe it away, remaining prostrate before the demonic Daoist.
The demon stared at her for a moment, the chains around her neck swaying gently, making a clattering sound, "This is the last time. Within half an hour, I need information about that cultivator, or you will become a sacrifice!"
"Yes!" The maid scrambled to her feet, clutching her bleeding shoulder, and stumbled out of the hall.
Lin Yu could see clearly through the wall in the study that this sorcerer was extremely cruel to his own people.
Lin Yu put the scriptures back in their place, his fingertips secretly gathering Spiritual Power; it was time to go and rescue the imprisoned people.
Following the faint whimpering sound he had previously caught in the corridor, he quietly unleashed his Primordial Spirit power, which instantly penetrated the ground.
Deep underground, the outline of a hidden basement clearly emerges.
Lin Yu frowned slightly. His Primordial Spirit saw dozens of refugees imprisoned inside, and several pregnant women huddled in a corner.
The scene on the other side of the dungeon caused a rare hint of murderous intent to flash in Lin Yu's eyes.
Several disemboweled corpses remained uncollected, and the stench of blood seemed to travel along Lin Yu's Primordial Spirit and directly into his nostrils.
It's clear that this is not just a prison, but also a blood sacrifice ground for the Fire Lotus Society.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yu lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his body was enveloped in a flow of pale golden Spiritual Power, which directly penetrated the soil layer and landed steadily in the dungeon.
A pungent, fishy stench mixed with the smell of sweat hit me, making me want to vomit.
The people in the dungeon were startled when someone suddenly broke in. Then their faces turned pale, and they all scurried into a corner.
During their time in captivity, they had already witnessed the cruelty of the Fire Lotus Society. Every time someone entered, it meant that another blood sacrifice was about to begin.
The pregnant women, in particular, were trembling like leaves, clutching their bellies tightly.
They all knew that pregnant women were always the first target during blood sacrifices.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." Lin Yu softened his voice, trying to be as gentle as possible.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's familiar Chinese, the people immediately looked up, their eyes still wary, yet a glimmer of light also appeared in them.
An elderly man with gray hair asked in a trembling voice, "You... you're from the Dragon Nation, you've come to rescue us?"
"Yes." Lin Yu nodded and walked towards the iron gate of the dungeon.
The iron gate was engraved with strange runes, clearly under the spell of a sorcerer, and could not be opened by ordinary means.
Seeing that Lin Yu was alone and still looked like a young boy, the old man suddenly became anxious and hurriedly waved his hand. "Young man, you should leave quickly! These are all demons in human skin, we can't escape! If you run now, you might still make it in time!"
The other refugees echoed their sentiments, their voices filled with pleading, fearing that if they failed to save the young man, they would only bring him trouble.
The most important thing is not to be afraid of attracting that demon, otherwise more people will die.
Lin Yu didn't reply. He simply gripped the lock cylinder of the iron gate with one hand, and with his exertion, a crisp "crack" was heard, and the iron lock, which was enhanced by magic, shattered instantly.
At this moment, the sorcerer on the ground sat before the shrine, his fingertips tracing the blood-red "Burning-at-the-Stake Chain" around his neck.
His expression suddenly changed; the magical markings on the dungeon's iron locks had been forcibly destroyed!
"That Dragon Nation cultivator actually...!" The demonic Daoist suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with shock and anger.
He considered himself to be of considerable cultivation, yet he couldn't even detect the opponent's presence, which could only mean that Lin Yu's strength far surpassed his own.
What made him lose even more face was that the other party was able to sneak into the dungeon silently, clearly having already thoroughly investigated his stronghold.
"We absolutely cannot let him ruin everything!" The demon gritted his teeth and shoved the shrine violently.
The ground cracked open with a loud rumble, revealing a staircase leading underground.
He flashed down the steps; this Dragon Nation cultivator definitely wanted to save those Dragon Nation, and he absolutely couldn't let him succeed.
As soon as he stepped into the dungeon, the demonic Daoist witnessed a scene that made his eyes widen in horror.
Lin Yu was pulling open the iron door of the dungeon when the refugees, who were supposed to be sacrificed, hesitated whether to escape.
The demon roared, black energy surging in his palm, and a talisman carrying a burning aura shot straight at Lin Yu's back.
This was the prototype of the Fire Lotus Society's evil magic "Cursed Fire Rebirth," which allowed one to cast a curse by writing down the name of their enemy, causing them to suffer the burning of Samadhi True Fire.
Although he did not write down the enemy's name, he was still able to ignite the Samadhi True Fire and scorch the enemy's body.
