Chapter 439: Chapter 387: Outrageous, Sacrificing the Same Clan!

Translator: 549690339

Pei Xuanjing was curious, his deep-set eyes did not betray any emotions, just a cold gaze.

After not long, the array was quickly set up. The old man cut his own finger with a knife, whispering phrases under his breath. The intricate designs of the array started to glow faintly, gathering vast amounts of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

Boom!

A violent flame erupted within the array, instantly turning the corpses of the demonic beasts into countless streams of Blood Qi. The intensity of it even made Pei Xuanjing feel a hint of fear.

At this moment, the old man spoke in a deep voice, “Make your move!”

“Yes!”

One of the warrior-class powerhouses took out something resembling an antler from his chest and tossed it into the array.

Boom!

The array seemed to react as if hot oil was poured onto fire, suddenly releasing a violent flame that soared into the sky illuminating the heavens in red.

“Miss, it only takes five two-hour periods. It will be enough to succeed.” The old man’s face showed a slight smile, but with his dry features, it looked extremely eerie.

“Good! When we return this time, father king…” The missy’s words were cut off before she could finish.

Roar!

A deafening roar echoed from afar, resounding throughout the woods and causing numerous demonic beasts to flee in all directions.

“This is bad, some of the nearby beasts have been startled.” One of the warrior-class powerhouses had a grim expression.

The woman’s smile faded, her face turned cold, and she sternly ordered, “Stop them, this Jiaolong Blood Pill matter is of great importance and absolutely cannot fail.”

Hearing the missy’s words, Pei Xuanjing raised an eyebrow; he knew it.

Just as he was curious about what exactly the Jiaolong Blood Pill was, the prompt in his mind popped up again:

[Twenty years old: Kings and lords of the human race are deploying their underlings into the Demon Domain to refine a Jiaolong Blood Pill using the blood sacrifice array method.]

“We obey the missy’s orders.” The three warrior-class powerhouses nodded in agreement.

Immediately they divided their duties, two of them went off to kill the demonic beasts and brought the bodies back to the blood sacrifice array while the other one stayed to guard the missy.

As time went on, second after second, the essence of blood in the blood sacrifice array became richer, almost forming into a Blood River. The Blood River roiled and churned, as if something was about to come to life.

“This won’t work, the essence blood required for the Jiaolong Blood Pill is still lacking. Go kill more demonic beasts.” The white-haired old man instructed.

They underestimated the situation; the amount of blood essence in the blood pool was too insufficient to fully form the Jiaolong Blood Pill.

Of course, this also meant one thing: the eliciting effect of the Jiaolong Blood Pill was far greater than what they had predicted.

Upon hearing this news, the missy also had the same thought, “Let’s trouble those two uncles to continue their hard work and go kill a few more demonic beasts.”

The three warrior-class powerhouses reacted with wry smiles, “Missy, it’s not that we are not willing to do it, but we’ve pretty much hunted all the demonic beasts within hundreds of li around here. Going again would probably mean stepping into another demon king’s territory.”

A tiger’s might remains even after death. As the Jiaolong King, who once dominated the Demon Domain due to sheer power, no other demon king or general dared to step into its territory even after its fall.

They took advantage of this, killing the demonic beasts easily without causing greater chaos.

But at this point, the demonic beasts in the area intimidated by the lingering power of the Jiaolong King have been wiped out, and the rest have fled the area.

If they launch another attack, not only would the distance be an issue, they would also risk alarming the other demon kings and generals by intruding into their territories, potentially stirring up trouble.

The missy’s eyes turned cold, but she also knew that the three of them weren’t wrong.

This Jiaolong Blood Pill is of great importance; her father sent her here with only warrior-class powerhouses in order to avoid attracting attention. If they cause a stir in the Demon Domain, it would create complications.

Stirring up the other demon kings and generals and ruining their plans would mean all their efforts are wasted.

However, they can’t delay it either. After all, if the Jiaolong Blood Pill cannot be brought back, not only would they have wasted their time, but her reputation in her father’s heart would also drop significantly.

She looked around and caught sight of some mercenaries, her finely arched eyebrows crinkled. An idea took root in her mind.

“Uncles, could we do this…” she whispered her idea to the three warrior-class powerhouses.

Upon hearing the plan of the missy, their faces turned pale, shaking their heads, “Missy, we can’t do that. If word gets out, we’re done for.”

They would have never thought that this seemingly gentle missy could be so ruthless as to devise such a harsh plan.

“Would you rather this fails?” The missy shot them a cold, furious glance, “If this fails, none of us will end up well.”

Upon hearing this, the three of them looked shocked, worry painted on their faces.

The missy continued, “Extended success comes only after countless failures; one cannot make sacrifices to achieve great things. If we can successfully refine the Jiaolong Blood Pill this time, it has great significance to the human race—it’s an important cause. Their sacrifices will be worth it.”

In the woman’s view, this matter was worth it. Just some recruited men, not even one warrior-class powerhouse among them, their sacrifice for a king was their honor.

In the end, they were persuaded by the missy and agreed to the plan.

“All of you, come here.” One of the warrior-class powerhouses called out to Pei Xuanjing and the others who were also recruited.

Indiscernible murderous intent slowly emerged from Pei Xuanjing’s profound eyes. These people still did not know what had happened, while Pei Xuanjing had overheard their secret plan.

He looked at the silent missy in the distance, noting that appearances can indeed be deceiving. Who would have thought that such a delicate woman could be capable of a heart filled with such wickedness?

Unable to find the corpses of demonic beasts for the blood sacrifice, they had shifted their attention to them—planning to use them as substitutes for the blood sacrifice.

It was utterly insane. In a situation where the human race was at odds with the demon race, they dared to use their brethren for the blood sacrifice. Truly madness.

Even though Pei Xuanjing wasn’t part of this world’s human race at this moment, murderous intent arose within him. Such people didn’t deserve to live.

“May I ask what you need from us?” Someone in the crowd asked.

These people were able to survive in Boundary City; none of them were foolish. From the whispers among the fighter class powerhouses, doubts had arisen in their hearts.

“There’s something we need to discuss with you…” one of the warrior-class powerhouses was trying to pacify the crowd, sensing the brewing tension.

But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a voice from the crowd, “I fear they’re thinking of using us for a blood sacrifice.”
