Chapter 283 Blood River Hall
Lin Bai thought Jian Yi was just joking. Who would want to make an enemy with a powerful monk for no reason? He was eager to save his sister, so he immediately took Jian Yi to find the villain who was bullying others and get his sister back.
However, a small incident occurred when leaving. When Lin Bai paid the bill, he did not have enough spirit stones, so he pawned an item he was wearing to barely make up the money for the meal.
"You've lived in the Chaos Domain for so many years, are you doing so badly?" Jian Yi leaned against a wooden pillar and said jokingly.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Senior. I've asked many people to mediate my sister's matter. Now, I really have nothing left." Lin Bai's face was full of bitterness. He had concealed the truth once, and he didn't dare to lie to Jian Yi again.
"Let's go! Lead the way!" Jian Yi raised his eyebrows and said.
……
"I don't know your honorable name, senior?" Lin Bai asked respectfully on the way.
"Xu Jianyi, the leader of the assassin organization Dark Moon Building."
Lin Bai was a little shocked, then surprised. To be the leader of a killer organization, he must be a cultivator of the Earthly Realm. Although killer organizations are not demonic, they are mostly secretive. Disclosure of identity can easily lead to death. So it is reasonable for them to seek protection from the Holy Church.
I just don't know who the other party's guide is. The Netherworld Sect has a Sky Realm Patriarch in charge. Even if it has been besieged by major immortal sects, it is not possible to enter just because you want to. To be able to come to such a deeply hidden stronghold, the guide's status in the Holy Sect must not be low.
Lin Bai tactfully did not ask any more questions.
"We're here. This is it." The two walked quickly and passed through the entire market soon, gradually coming to the foot of the two misty mountains, where there were relatively scattered houses.
"This is the residence of high-level cultivators in the Yuan Realm of the Chaos Realm. Going further up, there are caves opened up in the mountains. Only strong cultivators in the Di Gang Realm are qualified to occupy there. With your strength, I think you will be able to seize a cave soon. Of course, if you don't want to make a big fuss, you can also open up a new cave yourself, but the location will not be very good, and the concentration of spiritual energy will be slightly lower." Lin Bai said.
"Oh? Can we just rob the cave on the mountain?" Jian Yi asked.
"Yes, whoever is stronger can occupy the cave with a better location, as long as they can beat the opponent after the duel. The caves with the best location and the most abundant spiritual energy on the top of the mountain are occupied by the seven Hades of the Holy Church. The Hades are all geniuses of the third level of the Earth Gang Realm, comparable to the direct disciples of the Immortal Sect. They are the ones with the greatest hope of breaking through to become powerful cultivators. However, like Senior Ghost Doctor, although they have caves here, their whereabouts are uncertain." Lin Bai explained.
"What about the powerful monks? Where are they?"
"They live on the third mountain that is hidden by a formation. It is a place that only powerful people can set foot on. People like us don't even have the qualifications to see it."
"So that's how it is. There is an invisible third peak." Jian Yi raised his head and stared into the depths of the clouds, but found nothing unusual. He shook his head and had to give up for the time being.
……
The concentration of spiritual energy at the foot of the mountain is obviously higher than that on the market side. There seems to be a large spiritual gathering formation in the mountain, and the concentration of spiritual energy increases as you get closer to here.
Blood River Hall!
"My young master will come out of seclusion in a month at most. These mortal women will then have their essence, blood, and souls devoured to help maintain the murderous aura of his Yinhun Banner. You have to keep a close eye on them." A thin man at the seventh level of the Yuan realm said to the guarding monk.
It is too common for demon cultivators to kill mortals to cultivate, and they need a lot of blood food (that is, mortals) at any time. The Blood River Hall is where these mortals are temporarily detained, waiting for those powerful demon cultivators to come out of retreat or return from outside, and then they come to devour and kill them. It is similar to the livestock slaughterhouse on Blue Star.
In the chaotic area, although the monks would not slaughter mortals without reason, dedicating themselves to the cultivation of the "immortals" was also considered an honor, and of course, mortals could not refuse. Generally, when people were captured, their families would be compensated.
The powerful monks of the Netherworld Sect would regularly abduct large numbers of mortals from the outside world. On the one hand, they would cultivate their blood nerves and increase the number of middle and lower-level monks, and on the other hand, they would replenish the mortals that had been consumed.
"Brother Wang, don't worry, they are just a few dozen mortals." The monk stationed here said indifferently. Hundreds and thousands of people from the Blood River Hall had been imprisoned before, so what were a mere twenty people?
A group of women huddled in the corners of the cubicles, their eyes revealing fear and despair. Too many mortals had died in vain in the Blood River Hall, and there was a sinister aura permeating the air.
"I want you to keep an eye on them and don't let them die or go crazy. By the way, add some mind-boggling powder to their food. Otherwise, they will be too frightened in recent days and their qi and blood will be depleted. If that makes the young master dissatisfied with the blood food, I will be punished, but I will not forgive you." The thin man called Senior Brother Wang said bluntly.
"Yes! Don't worry, Senior Brother Wang, I will follow your instructions." The guarding monk quickly agreed. After all, the other party was working for the elite disciples of the Holy Church.
Senior Brother Wang nodded in satisfaction, looking at these mortal women as if they were animals, especially when he saw Lin Bai's sister, he couldn't help but sneer. A mere third-level human Yuan realm dared to offend him, really asking for his own death.
If that kid hadn't lived in the Chaos Realm for many years and had some friendship with several eighth and ninth level cultivators of the Human Yuan Realm, he would have easily crushed him to death. But now, taking his sister away as blood food would be more painful for him than killing him directly. He was nominally working for the young master, so who would dare to stand up for him again?
After a leisurely inspection, he was about to leave with a satisfied look on his face.
"Boom!" The gate of Xuehe Hall exploded and turned into countless pieces.
The huge noise immediately alarmed the dozen or so monks stationed here.
"Who are you? How dare you come here to cause trouble?" The one in charge of the Blood River Hall was a ninth-level cultivator in the Human Yuan Realm. At this moment, his face was filled with anger, and he strode over, his voice unconsciously carrying murderous intent.
"Senior, there is no need to do this. You are like this..." Lin Bai's face turned pale. He did not expect Jian Yi to barge into Xuehe Hall so violently. His original plan was to use Jian Yi's Di Gang Realm cultivation to attract the attention of the monks guarding Xuehe Hall, and then have them send a message to Wang Tong to lure him in and force him to release the people.
After all, he was a third-level cultivator in the Human Yuan Realm, and he was not qualified to enter here normally, so he naturally did not know where Wang Tong lived. So he came directly to the place where his sister was imprisoned.
Xuehe Hall is a place where blood food is temporarily detained. If he makes a commotion here, it might cause dissatisfaction among some powerful people. He doesn't want to cause trouble.
But Jian Yi didn't care about all that. Looking at the dozen or so monks from the Blood River Hall who were confronting him, a bloodthirsty look appeared on his face.
"Wang Tong, it's you. You are actually here?" Suddenly, Lin Bai's face changed and he discovered Senior Brother Wang who was attracted by the huge commotion here.
"Lin Bai, you are so bold! How dare you, a useless person at the third level of Yuan Realm, come to Xuehe Hall?" Wang Tong's face changed instantly. However, he quickly turned his gaze to Jian Yi, full of doubt and uncertainty.
To be able to become the confidant of a cultivator in the Earthly Realm, he must have extraordinary qualities. Why did Lin Bai, who was at the third level of the Human Yuan Realm, dare to come to the Blood River Hall? Any cultivator here could easily kill him. Low-level cultivators were not qualified to enter here. If he was killed, no one would be able to say anything.
So, who was this man he was following? Could it be that... I heard that he had been squatting at the entrance of the Chaos Domain recently? Could it be that he was really that lucky? No, it was impossible! How could a cultivator in the Earthly Realm be so cheap? Besides, what qualifications did he have to ask such a strong man to help him?
