Chapter 258: The Sacrificial Offering
On the mountain peak, the moonlight was like water.
The silver-haired old woman was enjoying the cold in front of the thatched cottage.
Although she was said to be an old woman, in fact, other than her head full of silver hair, one could not find any traces of the passage of time on her body. Her appearance still retained the appearance of a young girl. If one did not know the inside story, they would definitely not be able to guess, she was an existence on the level of the clear water sect’s patriarch.
However, time urged one to grow old. A few hundred years ago, she was valiant and valiant, charming most of the cultivators in the eastern wastelands. Now, she had become the silver-haired patriarch of the clear water sect.
“What is love in the world? Does it directly teach people to love each other to the death?”
It was unknown what the Patriarch of the clear water sect thought of, but he could not help but sigh faintly.
“Flying Guest from the north and the south, Old Wing returning to the cold autumn… in the end, I still can’t beat her. I Can’t beat the time!”
“Good, good, good! I didn’t expect that after so many years of not seeing her, she would still be so outstanding!”
A hearty laughter sounded at this moment.
“Who, who dares to intrude my quiet cultivation place? Get Out Now!”
Hearing that someone had come, Patriarch Clearwater suddenly stopped sighing. A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Those who were familiar with the azure water ancestor knew that when she revealed this expression, someone had already violated her limits. It was possible that some unlucky person was going to be killed!
However, in the next moment, when she turned her head to look, she was completely stunned.
Her body trembled slightly. A complicated expression that seemed to be filled with disbelief but also joy flashed across her face continuously within a short period of time.
“Senior… Senior Brother Jian, you’re here?”
With a piercing sound, Patriarch Clearwater arrived in front of the two of them. He stared at old monster sword lovingly, and his voice was filled with tenderness and longing.
Hearing this, people couldn’t help but feel their hearts ache.
“Ahem, ahem, this is my good disciple, Little Ling ‘er. Little Ling ‘ER, this is the Clearwater sect’s Fairy Clearwater. Hurry up and greet her!”
In the face of the somewhat over-excited Clearwater Patriarch, old monster sword was a bit embarrassed. He hurriedly pulled Bai xueling over to stand in front of him, laughed, and introduced her to the two of them.
Clearwater Patriarch? It was actually her?
A trace of surprise flashed through Bai Xueling’s eyes. She then cupped her hands and said, “Bai Xueling greets Senior Clearwater!”
“Mm, what a beautiful girl. Her future is bound to be limitless!”
Bai Xueling:”…”
Ever since the two of them appeared, her gaze had never left old monster sword. The words she said at this moment caused Bai xueling to be a little stunned.
However, Bai Xueling didn’t say anything more. Instead, she tactfully stood to the side.
Old Monster Sword, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable. Sensing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, he quickly found an excuse to say something.
“Well, we came all the way here, but Fairy Clearwater won’t invite us in?”
To be honest, old monster sword was already feeling a little regretful. If it weren’t for this necessity, he would never have come to look for this woman. However, since he was already here, it was better to get down to business first.
Not long after.
The two of them were invited into the thatched cottage by Patriarch Clearwater.
The furnishings of the thatched cottage were very simple. In an area of less than thirty feet, there was only a simple wooden bed, a dressing table with a bronze mirror, a simple wooden square table, and a few chairs.
The three of them sat down at the square table, and the atmosphere once again fell into a stalemate.
After Patriarch Clearwater, who was the master, entered the cottage, other than staring at old monster sword, he didn’t say anything, nor did he make any other movements.
He just watched quietly, which gave old monster sword goosebumps.
“Ahem! Well, how about Fairy Clearwater?”
Hearing old monster sword’s words, elder ancestor Clearwater was stunned for a moment, then shook his head sadly.
“Not good, not good at all!”
“It’s still the life of wandering the world with senior brother sword. It’s more comfortable and fulfilling.”
Hearing this, Bai Xueling had a strange expression. Of course, old monster sword’s expression was even more strange now.
“Hehe, that’s good, that’s good…”old monster sword casually replied. Then, he continued drinking without saying a word.
Bai Xueling had once heard old monster sword mention something about the relationship between old monster sword and Patriarch Clearwater when he was drunk.
It was said that three hundred years ago, the two were an immortal couple envied by all the cultivators in the eastern wastelands. Of course, she didn’t know what happened after that, but after seeing their reactions now.., she vaguely guessed something.
Now that they hadn’t seen each other for many years, they should have a lot to talk about!
Was it because she was there that they couldn’t let go?
Thinking of this, Bai Xueling found an excuse and walked out of the cottage.
Of course, she didn’t notice that when she walked out of the cottage, Old Monster Sword’s face turned green.
Outside the cottage, Bai Xueling smiled sweetly.
“Damn old man, this is the best I can do for you. The rest is up to you!”
Then, Bai Xueling found a place with a good night view. Then, she sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
The night was long. Under the moonlight, there was a row of beautiful and seductive night view.
Not long after.
From the direction of the thatched cottage, there was a faint murmur!
..
At the same time, somewhere under the thousand-li Red Cliff.
In the pitch-black underground space.
A vigorous figure flashed by, making a strange sound.
“Who is it?”
A few black-robed men who were in charge of patrolling heard the movement. Then, they went up to check with vigilant expressions.
“Ha! You’re quite alert, but what’s the use of that?”
A black shadow flashed past, and a muffled groan was heard. The first two black-robed men who were checking fainted on the ground, and the life force on their bodies disappeared in an instant.
Mo Shenghong said in a low voice, “Senior Sword Immortal, it’s settled!”
“Well, save them!”
As soon as he said that, two figures walked out one after the other.
It was wine sword immortal and Yin buping, the sect master of the clear water sect!
Then, the three of them continued to walk into the darkness.
The space in the darkness was very huge. After walking forward, countless cages appeared in front of them, in which a large number of humans were imprisoned.
Among them, most of them were mortals, accounting for about 90% . Other than that, the rest were all cultivators with cultivation bases. The most unbelievable thing was that there were actually a few higher-ups of the forces among them.
Between the cage and the cage was a 30-foot-wide passageway.
The three of them continued to walk forward without changing their expressions. The black-robed guards they saw along the way were all swiftly killed by Mo Shenghong, while Wine Sword Immortal and Yin buping followed behind.
Every time they reached a cage, the three of them would casually break the cage and release the prisoners inside.
As for the cultivators and mortals who had obtained their freedom, most of them followed the arrangements and escaped along the exit. There were also a few who wanted to follow behind Wine Sword Immortal and the others, but they were also sent out.
In about an hour, most of the people in the underground space were rescued one by one!
“Damn it!”
Looking at the empty cage, Yin buping couldn’t help but let out a cold snort. His killing intent surged out in all directions.
“This is outrageous! These devil brats actually captured so many sacrificial offerings. They’re really killing in vain!”
“Alright, the matter has been resolved. Let’s go then. This place isn’t a place to stay for long!”
Wine Sword Immortal let out a long sigh and immediately dashed towards the exit. After that, Mo Shenghong and yin buping exchanged a glance before disappearing into the darkness.
This was already the third batch of humans that they had rescued after wine sword immortal had been imprisoned by the Devil Race. There were still more humans waiting for them to rescue.
..
After the few of them left, about an hour passed.
In another dark underground hall, a middle-aged man dressed in blood-red clothes roared crazily.
Below the hall, the black-robed men all lowered their heads and did not speak at all!
“Trash, all of them are trash.”
“Who is it? He has ruined the good deeds of our demon race time and time again. He even knows where the sacrificial offerings are being held. Who Is It? Who Is It?”
A hoarse and slightly sharp voice roared furiously in the Dark Hall. He was in a crazed and ruthless state!
“Damn it, there are still more than ten days before the sacrificial offering begins!”
