Chapter 41 Blood Sacrifice Formation
The sun was shining brightly, and the air seemed to be filled with heat everywhere.
Yuan Heng looked along Jiang Yu's fingertips. In the dense heat, the blood on the ground exuded an uneasy aura.
Jiang Yu directly summoned Suning to use his sword and left.
Yuan Heng was worried about her safety and followed closely.
After stepping on the Suning Sword, flying into the air and looking down at the entire Lingdu City, Jiang Yu and Yuan Heng could clearly see what the blood stains were.
Jiang Yu's eyes trembled and he controlled Suning to fly higher.
The higher they flew and the farther they were from the ground, the clearer they could see.
It's a formation.
Jiang Yu was speechless, and even Yuan Heng, who was following closely behind, didn't speak for a while.
She had never seen such a formation, which surrounded the entire Lingdu City and was painted with countless blood. Everywhere exuded an evil aura that made people panic.
Among the three realms, she could not think of anyone other than evil cultivators who would choose to use so many people's blood to draw such a huge formation that exuded an evil aura.
Jiang Yu lowered his head and looked down. The formation painted with blood was extremely conspicuous.
Really dazzling.
Obviously, when they looked down on the flying boat yesterday, there was no such thing.
Was it painted last night?
"This formation..." She looked at the formation at her feet and tried to recall the content about evil cultivation that she had learned in front of Xuyun Mountain. "Is it the blood sacrifice formation?"
Someone is planning to use the lives of thousands of people in Lingdu City to achieve something.
It was obvious that so much blood could not come from the demons themselves. The only remaining possibility was from the missing people.
Jiang Yu's heart sank.
Throughout the ages, few people who fall into the hands of evil cultivators will end up well, let alone ordinary people who have been missing for so long.
But even though the result was already expected, Jiang Yu's mood still inevitably became heavy.
They may be dead, and the evil spirits are preparing to use their blood to sacrifice their relatives and companions.
"Find them."
Jiang Yu's mind suddenly fell into a trance, and anger suddenly swept through his body. His body shook uncontrollably, and he almost fell from a high altitude. Fortunately, Yuan Heng was always paying attention to her movements, noticed that something was wrong with her, and promptly used the Qingman sword at his feet to strike. She moved closer, reaching out to hold her steady.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Jiang Yu shook his head and stood firm again.
Find them.
There seemed to be a voice in her heart that kept telling her that she must find them, live and die, and see their corpses, and she must not let them remain in the hands of the devil.
Jiang Yu took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions in his heart: "Shall we go down and take a look?"
She pointed to the blood stains on the ground outside the city.
Yuan Heng responded "Okay".
As soon as he landed on the ground, Jiang Yu squatted down and touched the blood with his hands.
The blood stains are almost dry.
Jiang Yu stretched out her hand and touched it, leaving only a faint trace on her fingertips. The faint smell of blood was carried by the wind to her nasal cavity.
Anger swept through her again, forcing her to squat down to calm down.
Something is wrong.
Jiang Yu was distracted and thought that something was wrong with her.
Since playing Xuyun, she has been too easily swayed by her emotions, especially just now, as if there was some thread controlling her emotions and guiding her thinking. What was frightening was that when she thought of the missing people again, she didn't think that the sudden feeling just now was wrong.
It seemed like that was what she should do.
Jiang Yu blinked, forcing his wandering thoughts back, and focused his attention on the reddish spot on his finger again.
The blood stains on the fingertips were very faint, but not absent. The blood stains on the ground were dried, but not impossible to wipe away.
She raised her eyes slightly and met Yuan Heng's gaze, who was also squatting down to check the blood stains.
Their eyes reflected each other, miraculously understanding what the other was thinking.
Jiang Yu smiled, stood up and stamped his feet. As soon as he stretched his feet, the blood stains were wiped away with force.
Yuan Heng waved his long sword, and the blood-stained soil fell in the distance, revealing the moist new soil underneath.
The formation was destroyed in such a simple way.
Although the formations drawn with blood are frightening in their use and power, they also have many disadvantages. For example, the person who draws the formations is prone to backlash, and for example, if someone is not careful, the formations will be destroyed.
Jiang Yu was finally willing to show a relaxed smile and waved to Yuan Heng: "Let's go back home and talk to them about this matter."
She breathed a sigh of relief and took the lead on Suning. When she looked back to see if Yuan Heng had followed, she still had time to look at the sword at his feet.
A white sword tassel hung on the silver hilt.
It wasn't the one she had given on the flying boat before. She raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
When they landed in the city lord's mansion, Wei Xu was sitting in his own yard drinking tea. Two people, Fang He and Sang Yang, who said they were going to inquire about the missing people, were also there.
Jiang Yu was a little surprised and walked straight to Wei Xu: "Don't you say you want to continue to look at Qin Yin?"
Wei Xu shrugged: "It's not that I didn't want to look at her. During the time I followed her, she stayed in the courtyard of the city lord's wife. Later, she was called by the city lord to repair the formation. I originally wanted to follow her, but she repaired it. Because I was above me and I couldn't reveal that I was with her, when I turned around and hid in the vendor's place, she disappeared. "
"She went to repair the formation again. This is Lingdu's private matter. If I continue to follow her, it will be difficult to explain to the city lord if she finds out."
Jiang Yu pondered for a moment, sat down next to Wei Xu, and then turned his eyes to Sang Yang and Fang He who were sitting together.
Sang Yang cleared his throat: "We went to the homes of the missing people and inquired. There was not much connection between these people. Some knew each other, and some did not know anyone at all. Their family members said, These people usually don’t make enemies with others, and they don’t have any enemies.”
"But -" her face became solemn, "those people who died tragically at home are almost all relatives of those who disappeared."
Jiang Yu's expression froze for a moment.
In other words, these people, after one relative disappears, have to bear the pain of the tragic death of another relative.
"..."
Jiang Yu clenched his fists and distracted himself, "We also made new discoveries."
She told them the formation surrounding the entire Lingdu in detail, and also added her own guesses.
"Blood sacrifice?"
Wei Xu thought about it, "The last time the blood sacrifice was carried out on such a large scale, it was Jingmo, right?"
"?"
Jiang Yu cast a curious look.
She had heard of Jing Mo. After all, Jing Mo, as the leader of the evil cultivators in the Three Realms, accounted for most of the knowledge about evil spirits that her mother had given her.
She knew where he was born, when he became completely evil, and when he was sealed by the Qingyun Immortal Lord, the Demon Lord, and the Demon King.
I have never heard of the Jingmo Blood Sacrifice.
Wei Xu didn't intend to avoid her. Seeing that she didn't know, he said casually: "It is said that Jingmo tried to replace the way of heaven and wanted to exchange blood sacrifice for power."
