"Long Chen, what do you plan to do now?"
The three of them decided to do it during the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony.
"If you listen to my advice, don't make a move this time. Where there's life, there's hope. The three of us have reached the peak of our lives, but you're different. If it's possible, please avenge us."
"Big sister Li …" Long Chen was a bit depressed.
"You see, you're calling me big sister, so you'll definitely help me, right?
I won't stand on ceremony, I'll call you Little Chen. Little Chen, this time, the three of us will risk our lives. If we fail, remember to avenge us! "
Seeing Li Jing's insistence, Long Chen had no choice but to say, "En, of course I'll kill this Red Blood Religion Chief. I promise you, I won't do it before the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony. During the ceremony, as long as it's not a life or death situation, I won't reveal my identity. What do you think?"
Even if they died now, there would be people who would avenge them in the future. For the three of them, this was more than enough.
At his age, Long Chen already had the strength of a Mortal Core warrior. Although he was still a bit weaker than the Red Blood Religion Chief, as long as he persevered, he might still have a chance.
"Come, let's discuss about the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony. Little Chen, I'm afraid you don't know anything about this, right?" Li Jing asked.
Long Chen nodded his head.
"Yes, you can tell him."
Li Jing was the leader here, so she ordered the three of them to sit together and start talking. "The Blood Sacrifice Ceremony is divided into three parts.
"The blood sacrifice ceremony is divided into three parts. The first part is for all the members to enter the underground city and worship the Scarlet Blood Religion Leader as well as offering sacrifices to the Spiritual God. The second part is to slaughter the young girls and pour their blood into the blood pond until the blood pond is full. The third part is the blood bath. At that time, the Scarlet Blood Religion Leader will undergo the blood bath first, followed by the five elders and protectors, and finally the members. Like this, the entire blood sacrifice ceremony will be complete."
"In other words, we have to make our move when they are offering sacrifices to the gods. Otherwise, when they start killing, it will really be a sin. Hundreds of lives, and all of them are young girls … My little sister is among them!"
At this point, Li Jing's voice was extremely cold.
"This group of beasts!" The two brothers, Li Cheng and Li Li, also coldly sighed.
"Indeed, they're worse than beasts."
Long Chen's heart was also filled with killing intent. He had used Blood Refinement Qi before, but it had always been against demonic beasts. Bai Zhanxiong had used it because of hatred, and Master Blood Essence had also used it because of hatred.
Moreover, they were all Long Chen's opponents, while the Scarlet Blood Holy Church was attacking hundreds and thousands of innocent girls without the strength to even truss a chicken!
"There are basically no good people in the Scarlet Blood Holy Church. This time, I will go all out and kill …"
As he thought about this crazy massacre, the countless blood-colored dragon images in Long Chen's body roared furiously. A bloody and murderous aura slowly erupted from his body.
The next day arrived and the four of them patiently waited. Nightfall quickly arrived, and before the sky darkened, Long Chen's group had already gathered with the thousands of other members of the Scarlet Blood Holy Church and headed towards the Blood Pavilion.
The members of the Scarlet Blood Holy Church were all at least at the 5th Dragon Vein Stage. With over a thousand of them gathered together, in a small place like Baiyang Village, it was an unstoppable force.
Under the influence of the Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader, the entire Scarlet Blood Holy Church had a vicious and ruthless atmosphere. With a glance, Long Chen could see that there were not many people with fiendish expressions on their faces.
"This group of beasts, who knows how many innocent people have died at their hands …"
Following the large group, under the guidance of the remaining Protectors, Long Chen and the others finally entered the Blood Pavilion and saw the passageway to the underground city. It was a narrow passageway with a flight of stairs leading downwards. It was only wide enough for two people to pass.
Long Chen was at the back of the group. When he entered the underground city, he walked down a passage for a long time before the front suddenly opened up.
This was a huge underground space that was artificially excavated. It was called the Underground City, and it was basically built to look like a city. However, the difference was that the walls here were all red, and there were all kinds of strange patterns on the walls. It looked very scary.
"It's best to be careful."
Li Jing ordered. Then the three of them separated from Long Chen. They wanted to openly resist the Scarlet Blood Holy Church, while Long Chen was only here to watch.
Of course, this was only what Li Jing and the others thought.
After walking for a long time in the Underground City, everyone gathered in one direction. Finally, Long Chen saw the center of the Underground City from afar. In front of him was a large pool that could fit over a thousand people. At this time, the pool was dry, but from the bloodstains on it, one could guess that this was the Blood Pool that they were talking about.
The Scarlet Blood Holy Church's members were all lined up on one side of the Blood Pool. They were neatly lined up and on the other side of the Blood Pool, there was a huge blood red altar. Three large incense sticks were burning and the green smoke was rising towards the top of the Underground City.
Under the altar, the Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader and five old men of different genders were standing. These five old men were all wearing golden red robes. They were the Scarlet Blood Holy Church's five Great Sect Elders. None of them were weak at all.
Long Chen's gaze fell on them.
"These five old ghosts, you can tell with a single glance that they aren't good people. Since the Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader is so heartless, they should have a share of the profits.
Looking at the bloody aura around them, they must have killed a lot of people. "
Sensing the strength in his body, Long Chen frowned.
"The blood essence of the Heart Devouring Demon Beast, a Profound rank 4 demon beast, is still not enough for me to break through to the Late Mortal Core realm. This time, I must break through to the Late Mortal Core realm before my fight with the Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader. Looks like I'll have to turn their blood into qi …"
Long Chen was still a bit unwilling to turn his blood into qi on a human.
"Don't think too much about it. If I don't do this and something happens to Ling Qing, you'll regret it for the rest of your life." Lingxi comforted him sensibly.
Thinking about that girl, Long Chen helplessly nodded his head and said, "Fine, for her, I'll make an exception again!"
"Long Chen, turning blood into qi is indeed a heaven-defying ability. At least, I've never seen anything more miraculous than it. It represents endless power, and anyone would go crazy for it. But you're still able to control yourself. To be able to control yourself like this at your age is already very good."
Lingxi's praise came from the bottom of her heart, and it made Long Chen feel good.
"Of course, I, your father, have always been the most powerful existence …"
"Shameless!"
With Lingxi's laughter, Long Chen's depressed heart eased up a bit.
After all, the Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader had given him a lot of pressure.
"The Blood Sacrifice Ceremony begins now. Everyone, kneel down!"
There were four men and one woman among the four Great Sect Elders. At this moment, an ugly old witch's sharp voice pierced through everyone's ears. Long Chen also felt his ears were very uncomfortable. He followed the others and knelt down.
The old witch gave a roar before turning around. She said a few words to the Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader before standing to the side.
Long Chen kneeled on the ground. While everyone was filled with fear and trepidation, his eyes were looking all around.
"Little Xi, can you feel Ling Qing's existence?"
Inside Lingxi's sword, Lingxi tilted her head and said with a frown, "On the left side of the blood pool, there are several mechanical doors that are at least a hundred meters away from the blood pool. There are several hundred young girls inside, but there doesn't seem to be Ling Qing's aura, I'll look around ….."
Without confirming Yang Lingqing's position, Long Chen did not dare make a move.
At this time, the Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader announced the start of the blood sacrifice. He first lit three incense sticks in the large cauldron on the altar, followed by the five elders with pious expressions.
Above the blood pool, there was a bridge that led to the altar. After the Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader, the others crossed the stone bridge and lit the incense sticks one by one. Next to the altar, they received a bowl of blood red liquid. This was blood.
After the incense sticks were lit, everyone returned to their original places with a bowl of blood in their hands. Even the Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader was not an exception.
"Everyone, for us, the most important moment is about to arrive. Now, hold the blood in your hands and invite the Holy Church's leader!"
The old witch's sharp voice rang out again as she looked at the Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader with a serious expression. The Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader laughed and said, "Everyone, let's do it!"
"Do it!"
"Alright!"
The Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader took the lead and drank the bowl of blood. With a peng sound, the bowl was thrown into the blood pool by him and turned into fragments. Following that, the other bowls were thrown into the blood pool and the blood pool was covered in fragments!
Because they were covered in blood, the fragments on the ground were all blood red.
"Open the door and bring in the 'Blood Yuan'!"
The Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader gave an order and on the left side of the blood pool, large mechanical doors began to open. There were a total of four doors and each one was thicker than the last. Even with Long Chen's current strength, without half a day, it would be hard for him to destroy these stone doors.
It could be seen that in order to prevent others from making a move, the Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader had made many preparations!
When the stone doors opened, a wave of screams and cries rang out. Hearing the sounds of collapse, every Scarlet Blood Holy Church member began to wildly laugh.
"Cry, cry, this is your last few minutes in this world, cry as much as you want. Using your blood to make me stronger, you should feel honoured ….."
The Scarlet Blood Holy Church's leader's wild laughter echoed throughout the underground city.
In the middle of the crowd, Long Chen tightly clenched his fists.
"Long Chen, I found Ling Qing, she's under the altar!"
