n103 Lacking a Sacrificial Offering

nThe moment Song Shi saw this person, he was certain that he was the one who had fought with the kings of Great Qian in the sky.

nThis person actually survived and came here. It seemed that the Demon Cult was really up to something.

nElder Yuan bowed, “So it’s Ninth Young Master. My master is doing well. Thank you for your concern, Young Master.”

n“It’s been more than thirty years since we parted on Heavenly Mountain. Fairy Zi Yue’s Talent is outstanding. She’s probably about to form her Nascent Soul, right?”

nJiu Yu smiled and wanted to find out about Zi Yue’s cultivation level.

n“My cultivation level is low, so it’s difficult for me to see Master’s cultivation level.”

nElder Yuan refused to reveal it.

n“I’m sure it’ll be soon. If she reaches the Nascent Soul stage, I’ll definitely come to congratulate.”

nJiu Yu looked at Liu Ruxue with a smile, “This little girl is quite elegant. You are bringing her back to the Yao Moon Palace?”

n“Yes, Miss Xue’er is the seedling that Master values.”

nElder Yuan cupped his fists, “We’re in a hurry to go back, so we won’t disturb you.”

n“How about I get someone to pilot a Dharma artifact spaceship to send you guys? It’ll save you trouble and is also safer.”

nJiu Yu smiled as if he didn’t want them to leave.

nElder Yuan’s expression changed slightly, “You’re too kind, Ninth Young Master. We can go back ourselves.”

n“Don’t stand on ceremony. Fairy Zi Yue and I are old friends. Helping you out is nothing.”

nJiu Yu looked very generous. Song Shi didn’t know if this guy was trying to please Fairy Zi Yue, or if he had some ulterior motives for Liu Ruxue.

n“There’s really no need. Young Master, you should prioritize your own important matters.”

nElder Yuan rejected him firmly.

nJiu Yu frowned, “It’s fine if you want to leave, but you should only go after dawn.”

nElder Yuan sighed, “We’ll do as you say.”

n“Iron Tooth, stay here and accompany these friends.”

nJiu Yu arranged with a smile. A slender person with sharp teeth walked out from behind him.

n“I’m doing this for your own good. After all, Silken City has already been enveloped by an Array Formation. If you rashly go out, it might affect our arrangements.”

nSong Shi’s heart skipped a beat.

nThat was impossible. Was it really necessary to attack a city?

n“You guys want to seize the Dragon Vein Qi under Silken City?”

nElder Yuan exclaimed, “Otherwise, why would you use an Array Formation to envelop such a large city?”

n“That’s why I asked Elder Yuan to wait for a while before leaving. At the same time, I wanted you all to see how we would sever the Dragon Slaying Qi.”

nAt this point, Jiu Yu looked rather proud.

nSong Shi was dumbfounded. What was this Dragon Vein Qi? Was it an energy sourceor something illusory?

nSeeing Liu Ruxue’s complicated expression, he asked softly, “Xue’er, what do they mean by this Dragon Vein Qi?”

n“These aura are the foundations of cities and even dynasties. It’s just like the Yang energy of humans. If it’s severed, the city will be destroyed and the dynasty will quickly weaken.”

nLiu Ruxue sighed. “I’m afraid the prosperity of Silken City will stop for the next hundred years.”

n“Oh.”

nSong Shi didn’t quite understand. Fortunately, Liu Ruxue used Yang energy as an analogy. As someone whose Yang energy had been depleted several times, he could understand the feeling of weakness.

nIn fact, without Yang energy, people would die.

nHe still found it a little strange. “How does that work?”

n“I’m not too sure either. It seems to affect the luck and the environment of this city. Anyway, that’s what the ancient books record.”

n“Where did this wild seedling come from? His foundation isn’t solid, but his aptitude looks pretty good.”

nJiu Yu looked over and asked casually.

n“He’s from Silken City.” Elder Yuan frowned. Was this person targeting them?

n“Oh, you’re born and raised here, so you can absorb some of the Dragon Qi. Little fellow, are you interested in joining my Sky Demon Cult? I’ll bring you to absorb Dragon Qi.”

nElder Yuan did not say anything about Song Shi being poached in front of her. After all, Song Shi was free to go anywhere he wanted.

n“Not interested.”

nSong Shi did not have a good impression of the Sky Demon Cult, especially the people from Sky Demon Cult. He would rather die than follow these guys to attack his hometown.

nIn fact, he could not bear to know that the city he had lived in for more than ten years would completely decline because they are severing the Dragon Energy.

n“Oh, you have quite a temper.”

nJiu Yu glanced at Song Shi coldly. He did not like being rejected by the weak.

nNot only did Zi Yue’s servant reject him, but this Qi Refinement cultivator also dared to reject him.

nJust as he was about to mess with Song Shi, he suddenly received a message. He said to his subordinates, “Let them go after dawn. Elder Yuan, please cooperate with us.”

nWith that, a small paper effigy appeared in his palm. He threw it out and flew towards the center of the city.

n“The paper cutters are sending them a message!”

nSong Shi’s heart sank. Could Huang Heyu be related to these guys?

n“Demons and ghosts… It’s normal that they are in contact with them, but her kind attitude still feels different from theirs.”

nWhile he was thinking, Jiu Yu suddenly came back and asked, “Is this kid from your Yao Moon Palace?”

n“Sort of. He’s Xue’er’s Furnace.”

nElder Yuan nodded.

n“A Furnace? Borrow it. We lack a sacrificial offering on our side. This kid is full of vigor and is quite suitable.”

nJiu Yu grinned and grabbed Song Shi. Without giving Elder Yuan a chance to discuss, he left with his men and Song Shi.

n“…”

nSong Shi scolded, “Why are you targeting me?”

n“How can the weak have so many complaints? I just happen to lack a Pure Yang Child. Firstly I don’t like you, and your aura is quite pure. Therefore I think that it’s suitable to use you as a replacement.”

nLiu Ruxue quickly interjected, “Senior, he’s not a Pure Yang Body anymore. He’s useless to you.”

nBig Smart and Mei Niang were shocked. They did not expect this to happen. They did not even have the right to speak.

nElder Yuan did not expect Song Shi to be caught. She probed, “Ninth Young Master, please be magnanimous.”

n“Why? I’m giving Zi Yue some face. Do you really think you’re so awesome? If you don’t want to die, stay here obediently.”

nJiu Yu smiled coldly, turned around, and disappeared like a gust of wind.

n“Why… why did he capture my man…”

nLiu Ruxue was in a daze. She was about to go to the sect with Song Shi, but they were separated here.

n“Sigh, we’re unlucky to have met this person. Back then, he was rejected by Master Zi Yue. I’m afraid he’s resentful and can’t bear to see you two in a pair.”

nElder Yuan explained the reason. “Of course, it might also be because of other reasons. He might really be lacking people to be sacrificial offerings.”

nLiu Ruxue’s face turned pale and she felt helpless. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’m too weak. I can only be at the mercy of others.”

nShe made up her mind. If Song Shi died, she would definitely kill this person to take revenge.

nIron Tooth grinned hideously, “Don’t the women of the Yao Moon Palace change Furnaces as if they were changing clothes? Do you have to be so angry after losing this piece of ‘clothing’? I think you’re still too young and haven’t seen a real good man yet. Why don’t I be your Dao companion?”

n“I’m sorry, you can’t compare to Young Master Song.” Liu Ruxue’s expression was cold. She was afraid of the person just now, but she was not too afraid of his Foundation Establishment subordinate.

n“Hehe, you would rather stick with a Qi Refinement pretty boy than consider a Foundation Establishment cultivator like me. You are really short-sighted.”

nIron Tooth sneered.

n“Sir, please be quiet. I don’t want to fight with you because of your nasty words.”

nElder Yuan frowned, causing Iron Tooth’s gaze to turn cold and he stopped provoking them.

nBig Smart was so anxious that he spun on the spot, but there was nothing he could do. He sighed at Mei Niang. “How could this be? My plan to follow you all is ruined.”

n
