Book 2: Chapter 45: Plotting to Enter the First Song Sect
First Song Sect:
Dark clouds covered a valley, making it look dark and eerie. A group of spirit-assimilated First Song Sect disciples carried one hundred unconscious people into an average-sized blood pool within the valley and left only their heads above the pool.
After carrying the unconscious people into the pool, the spirit-assimilated disciples turned respectfully to a black-robed man.
The black-robed man had dark skin and cold eyes. A scar at his left eye made him look exceptionally ferocious.
“Primogenitor, this is the last batch of disciples in the sect. The blood pool is also filled with human blood. They are already unconscious, just waiting for Primogenitor to alter them!” a spirit-assimilated person said respectfully.
The black-robed man nodded. Then, he walked to the side of the blood pool and slowly stepped onto it.
He seemed to walk on the surface of the blood pool as if on dry land.
The black-robed man walked to the middle of the unconscious people before suddenly stretching out his hands.
Whoosh!
Two hundred energy threads suddenly shot out of the black-robed man’s palms, charged straight at the unconscious people, and instantly entered their heads.
The black-robed man roared, and green balls of light suddenly came out of the heads of the unconscious people. These light balls were transparent, showing color only because of the red energy threads.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The light balls flew to the black-robed man’s mouth. He consumed all of them in the blink of an eye.
Then, the black-robed man slowly drew out a drop of essence blood from his fingertip.
Drip!
When the essence blood dripped into the pool, it merged with the pool of human blood.
Gurgle…!
The human blood suddenly started surging and rushed to the heads of the unconscious people.
Rumble…!
After a while, all the human blood in the blood pool vanished.
Whoosh!
The black-robed man also scattered the red energy threads coming from his palm.
“Bring them away!” the black-robed man said.
“Yes!” the group of spirit-assimilated people answered.
The black-robed man flew up the side of the mountain slowly. There was a palace at the summit: the First Song Palace.
“Primogenitor!” a group of spirit-assimilated men at the palace entrance greeted respectfully.
“Were there any problems?” the black-robed man asked.
“No, All of them have dragon-shaped amulets on them, so we did not dare to use too much force!” that person reported respectfully.
The black-robed man heavily frowned as he said, “Dragon-shaped amulets? That means that they are the personal guards of Long Wanqing’s maternal grandfather. To think that he allocated them to Long Wanqing. If they get crippled or die, Long Wanqing’s maternal grandfather will immediately know. Do not cripple them, and all the more, you cannot let them die!”
“Yes. However, that means that our torture will not be very effective!” That spirit-assimilated person showed an unsightly expression.
“Don’t talk to me about effectiveness; that is your problem. The power I gave you is not for complaining!” the black-robed man chided coldly.
“Yes!” that spirit-assimilated man said helplessly.
“Why is there still no news from Song Pingsheng?” that black-robed man asked.
“The sect master probably still has not found that monk’s location!” the spirit-assimilated man answered with a frown.
“Alright, you are dismissed. I still need to refine the mortal souls!” the black-robed man said.
“Yes, Primogenitor!” The group of spirit-assimilated cultivators immediately left.
The black-robed man strolled into the First Song Palace and closed the door. Then, he sat down cross-legged, revealing a cold smile. “Stupid humans. Ha!”
——
Outside the First Song Sect:
Gu Hai looked into the distance, where groups of ordinary citizens were being herded into the First Song Sect.
“Milord, this is the Gold Armor Water Crystal Ritual Array. It isolates the inside from the outside, and there is only this one exit. What should we do?” Chen Tianshan asked while showing a complicated expression.
“There is only this one entrance. Are we really going in?” Gao Xianzhi added, with a complicated expression as well.
“Not we, you!” Gu Hai replied in a low voice.
“Ah?” Gao Xianzhi felt slightly stunned.
“There is a powerful animal spirit inside. Going in to search for Long Wanqing will be very dangerous, so we need to avoid detection,” Gu Hai said seriously.
“However, there is someone inspecting everyone at the entrance. Can we enter successfully?” Scar said worriedly at the side.
“It is easy to enter. Keeping our guard up against the powerful animal spirit is the most dangerous part. Hence, we need to lure out the powerful animal spirit!” Gu Hai said.
“Oh? Milord, what should we do?” Chen Tianshan asked, feeling surprised.
However, Gu Hai looked at Gao Xianzhi as though he was encouraging Gao Xianzhi to think about it.
Gao Xianzhi felt slightly stunned, but he immediately understood Gu Hai’s intent. After thinking for a while, he guessed, “Milord, you are going to lay a ritual array? To compete with the First Song Sect in ritual arrays?”
Gu Hai smiled faintly and said, “That’s right!”
“The Twenty-Eight Line-Pair World Ritual Array?” Gao Xianzhi asked after a deep breath.
Gu Hai nodded.
“Then, we need spirit stones, a vast amount of spirit stones?” Gao Xianzhi’s expression changed.
“That’s right. Spirit stones!” Gu Hai nodded with certainty.
“Spirit stones? There’s a spirit stone mine there. It’s the First Song Sect’s greatest spirit stone business. Furthermore, it is not within the Gold Armor Water Crystal Ritual Array.” Chen Tianshan pointed to a place not far away.
“Then, what are you waiting for? Go!” Gu Hai said.
“Yes!” everyone answered.
——
Not far from the Gold Armor Water Crystal Ritual Array, a group of First Song Sect disciples guarded a certain mountain forest.
Gu Hai’s group of three thousand-odd men arrived silently and looked coldly at a nearby valley entrance.
“Hurry! Hurry! These ordinary people are freshly captured. They are all youths; their hearts and livers must be very fresh and tender!”
“I want some! Give me some!”
“Don’t snatch from me!”
A group of spirit-assimilated cultivators cruelly divided up the Chen Nation ordinary citizens that they just captured.
The evil men all showed unsightly expressions.
“This is also why I want to kill the spirit-assimilated humans. They will get addicted to this, just like the vampires that I saw in the past. Those vampires got addicted to drinking blood, liking it even more, the more they drank. Only people with extremely strong willpower can resist the urge; most cannot. This is the same for these snake-spirit-assimilated humans. They will get addicted to eating hearts and livers, so we need to kill them!” Shangguan Hen said with a sullen expression.
“Milord, there are eight hundred First Song Sect disciples camped in the surroundings. This should be a big mine. There are also some palace halls on the outskirts. Based on their appearance, those are where the mined spirit stones are temporarily stored!” Gao Xianzhi said after observing the surrounding terrain.
“Gao Xianzhi, take the Heaven Legion into the First Song Sect to rescue Long Wanqing or obtain the most accurate information on her whereabouts,” Gu Hai instructed.
“Yes!” Gao Xianzhi answered.
“Shangguan Hen, lead the Regal Legion in preparing to lay the ritual array. I already taught it to you in the Great Feng Mafia Family. Later, I will give you a diagram for laying out the spirit stones!” Gu Hai said.
“Yes!” Shangguan Hen answered.
“Chen Tianshan and Scar, you two take the Earth Legion and the Profound Legion to deal with these eight hundred First Song Sect disciples. You should outnumber them two to one. Will there be problems?” Gu Hai looked at the two.
“Milord, rest assured. There are absolutely no problems!” the two immediately answered.
“I need it to be silent!” Gu Hai said seriously.
“Huh?!” The two felt slightly worried. After all, there were eight hundred enemies. How could it be silent?
“You have one day. Carefully investigate every enemy and make arrangements for your subordinates. Do not let this get messy. Make sure everyone knows their target. Then, attack together at night. That will do,” Gu Hai instructed seriously.
“Ah? Yes!” the two answered.
Gao Xianzhi quickly led the Heaven Legion away.
Gu Hai remained, taking out a brush and paper to give Shangguan Hen pointers on where to bury the spirit stones after snatching them.
In the end, three thousand-odd men were too many. The First Song Sect disciples nearly saw them several times. Fortunately, the First Song Sect disciples did not sense the danger they were in. While they were surprised, the evil men killed them.
The sun slowly set, and night began. The First Song Sect disciples became much more relaxed; many of them went to rest.
Gu Hai slightly narrowed his eyes as he stood on a mountain. “It’s time!”
Gu Hai tossed a stone in his hand into the distance.
Thud!
The stone struck the ground.
“Attack!” The voices of a group of evil men immediately rang out in the surroundings.
“Who is it?!”
Rip!
“Ah!”
“Don’t kill me!”
“Who are you?!”
With a series of muffled noises, the evil men dealt with the various First Song Sect disciples guarding the spirit mines.
The evil men moved extremely quickly. The First Song Sect disciples only managed to let out a surprised exclamation before getting silenced. Some did not even get to turn around.
Crack!
Shangguan Hen led the Regal Legion in breaking open the palace hall doors and quickly extracting spirit stones in large numbers.
“Start laying the ritual array!” Shangguan Hen commanded coldly.
“Yes!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The evil men coursed through the mountain forest, continuously burying spirit stones.
Gu Hai strolled to the spirit stone mine and watched the surrounding evil men working busily.
——
Two hours later:
“Milord, it is ready!” Shangguan Hen ran over.
“Rise!” Gu Hai growled.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, surging fog slowly appeared in the spirit mine’s surroundings.
The thick fog was not obvious in the dark of night.
After laying the initial foundation of the ritual array, Gu Hai instructed the evil men to continue burying spirit stones, laying an even more complicated ritual array. The evil men worked without pause.
——
The next morning:
An evil man wearing the clothes of a First Song Sect disciple led a group of people holding whips in escorting a group of “ordinary citizens.” They headed towards the First Song Sect entrance. Gao Xianzhi hid among the “ordinary citizens.”
Aside from Gao Xianzhi’s group, there were other groups of “First Song Sect disciples” escorting some “ordinary citizens.”
Now that morning arrived, sunlight shone over the land, illuminating the place.
“Hey, look! Why is there so much fog there?”
“It looks like a ritual array?”
“Ritual array? Why would there be a ritual array there?”
Suddenly, many First Song Sect disciples noticed something strange about where Gu Hai laid the ritual array.
“Quickly, go over and take a look!” Some First Song Sect disciples immediately rushed off into the distance.
Gao Xianzhi signaled with his eyes, and the evil men escorted the “ordinary citizens” to the entrance.
“Senior Brother, we just captured these five hundred people. They are all of the best quality!” The escorting evil men smiled cockily.
The First Song Sect disciple guarding the entrance frowned as he looked at the evil men, not finding them familiar.
“This junior brother, which subdivision are you from? You don’t look familiar to me?” the guard asked, feeling suspicious.
Just at this moment, a scream came from the ritual array in the distance. “Argh!”
The scream sounded heart-wrenching, spreading in all directions. The expressions of the surrounding First Song Sect disciples changed as they turned their heads to look.
