As for the lives of the people in the mountains …
As a disciple of the Tang Sect, Tang Xin had never cared about it.
Back then, the Tang Sect had massacred several tribes to avenge their disciples, and killed hundreds and thousands of people in the mountains …
Although she had never participated in it personally, she had heard about it. She did not think much of these barbaric and backward Miaojiang people.
Furthermore, she did not have an instinctive aversion to such a blood sacrifice like Wen Yan did. Instead, she was interested in it, and seemed to be looking forward to whether this blood sacrifice could really bring about a happy future for the tribe.
She could not blame anyone for that. It could only be said that the environment she grew up in made her think like that. If she had lived outside the mountains, she would probably be the same as Qin Fang and the rest.
Darren's performance shocked all the people in the mountains. At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with endless respect, respect, and desire, which made Darren feel like he was floating in the air.
Perhaps it was because she remembered how she had met Qin Fang in that cave, and how intimate they were. Unfortunately, she did not have such intimate contact with Qin Fang again after that.
During these days, she really wanted to take things a step further with Qin Fang, but Qin Fang hugged her to sleep every night, and refused to take her body.
As for the reason, Qin Fang just didn't want Wen Yan to lose the virginity that she cherished the most in that kind of environment.
Tang Xin's expression was also relatively calm, and there was not much difference in her eyes. However, Qin Fang could feel that Tang Xin's gaze had drifted to his face several times, but she forced herself to pretend that nothing happened.
The few of them had different expressions, but in general, their gazes were all focused on the high platform as they watched High Priest Darren's next performance.
This young girl was very pure and flawless, just like the blood sacrifice she was about to face now. She was completely willing to offer herself to the supreme god in exchange for the blessings of the entire tribe.
To her, this was not a disaster. On the contrary, it was a form of relief, a gift …
She was extremely impressed and happy with this Darren who looked equally "holy". She had seen every performance of Darren's, and watched it very seriously. She even felt that Darren was the most powerful person apart from the supreme god.
When Darren walked in step by step, she didn't panic at all. Instead, she became even more agitated. Even the cold dagger in High Priest Darren's hand didn't affect her at all.
The blood sacrifice had officially begun.
She saw High Priest Darren gently wave the wide sleeves of his priest robe, and it was as though a breeze had blown past. The young girl immediately felt her head sink, and her eyelids became very heavy. Finally, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep …
"The High High High Priest!"
"The supreme god!"
Although this was a very simple action, in the eyes of the villagers, it was as if High Priest Darren had summoned the girl's soul with a gentle wave of his hand. Immediately, there were shouts, and a large group of villagers knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.
"Shameless …"
It was still Qin Fang and the other two who did not make a move. Or rather, Tang Xin, who had been calm all this while, let out a low roar of anger, which was rare.
These mountain people might not understand how Darren had managed to take away the girl's soul, but Tang Xin knew very well that it wasn't the so-called taking away of the girl's soul. He had simply used knockout drugs to knock the girl out.
Although Tang Xin, a disciple of the Tang Sect, did not come into contact with the core of the Tang Sect's secret techniques of hidden weapons and poisons, she had done a lot of research on drugs. Knockout drugs were the most despicable drugs in the pugilistic world. It was very easy to recognize them, so Tang Xin naturally recognized them.
This High Priest Darren was really shameless. It was clearly the knockout drugs that had knocked the young girl out, but he insisted on saying that the god had summoned the young girl's soul away. Even Tang Xin was a little angry.
"Calm down!"
However, Qin Fang gently held her back from the side, and she did not rush forward to slash Darren in half. Only then did she calm down and continue watching Darren's performance.
The young girl was knocked out, and fell into a deep sleep. Naturally, she did not know what was going to happen next.
The main event of the blood sacrifice was finally about to begin.
The blade fell, and blood appeared.
The young girl's wrist immediately turned dark red, and fresh blood slowly flowed out from her wrist.
Darren placed the young girl's arm on the edge of the groove, and let the blood flow into the groove slowly …
Darren walked to the other side, and grabbed the young girl's other arm. Then, he cut off the young girl's other wrist, and placed her arm on the edge of the groove, and continued to let the blood flow into the groove …
However, this was far from enough. After cutting off the pulses of both wrists, High Priest Darren walked to the young girl's legs, and seemed to be planning to cut off the blood flow there too.
Seeing this scene, Tang Xin could not help but frown. Although she knew that the process of the blood sacrifice was not simple, she did not expect it to be done in such a way.
Although Tang Xin didn't really care about the girl's life or death, it was too cruel to watch her die in such a way. Even if she had to cut the girl in half, Tang Xin felt that she could accept such a way.
Tang Xin wanted to rush forward to save the young girl, but Qin Fang reached out and held her back again. He gently shook his head at Tang Xin, stopping her from saving the young girl.
If it was anyone else who stopped her, Tang Xin would definitely ignore them. However, Qin Fang stopped her personally, and there seemed to be some other meaning in his gaze. Tang Xin forced herself to hold back, and did not immediately make a move.
High Priest Darren was still busy cutting off the pulses. At this moment, he had already cut off the pulse of one of the young girl's legs. It seemed like he really did not intend to let go of any of the limbs.
"Qin Fang, they are so cruel …"
Wen Yan could not bear to watch any longer. She shrunk her head completely into Qin Fang's arms, and said unwillingly.
She was just an ordinary girl, and she did not see many bloody scenes, let alone such a bloody scene. It was already good enough that she was not frightened out of her wits. It was obviously impossible for her to continue watching.
This kind of sacrificial ritual that cut off the pulses of the limbs on the spot could no longer be described as barbaric. It was too gory, and could even be said to be inhumane.
Killing people was just a matter of nodding the head to the ground. However, this method of killing people was like putting them to death by a thousand cuts. They would let their blood drain little by little until they died.
It was such a pity that the young girl had lost her life in such a daze.
"It's okay, it's all fake. Don't take it seriously …"
Qin Fang hugged Wen Yan's waist, and whispered into her ear.
"Really?"
Wen Yan was stunned. Then, she glanced at the bloody scene on the high platform, and asked in disbelief. Those bloodstains looked so real. How did they become fake?
"Trust me, I won't lie to you …"
Qin Fang patted her on the back. There were some things that Wen Yan could not understand. If not for the fact that Qin Fang happened to know these things, even he would have been deceived.
I didn't expect this kid to have learned so many things … Although it's just some simple superficial knowledge!
Looking at High Priest Darren, who was busy bleeding on the high platform, Qin Fang muttered softly in his heart. His brain also started working quickly.
The Thousand Gates of Illusion. Darren actually learned the Thousand Gates of Illusion. That was indeed quite surprising to Qin Fang.
It was not that Darren could not learn the Thousand Gates of Illusion, but Qin Fang found it a little strange. The Thousand Gates of Illusion that Darren learned was definitely an authentic inheritance. It was more authentic than what Qin Fang learned when he met Ye Ming and Ye Huan.
However, Darren only learned some superficial knowledge, and did not completely understand the essence of the Thousand Gates of Illusion. That was why he seemed like a dabbler.
If Qin Fang had thought that Darren was a dabbler before, it was mainly because the tricks he used just now were left behind by the witches outside. Now, he felt that Darren was a dabbler because he clearly learned the authentic Thousand Gates of Illusion, but he did not grasp the essence at all …
Darren might look impressive now, but the young lady's limbs were bleeding profusely. Almost a thousand people present could see it clearly, and no one would think that it was fake.
However, in Qin Fang's eyes, that was not the case at all. The young lady had simply fainted, and the dagger in Darren's hand did not cut off a single strand of her hair. The so-called blood was just the result of the Thousand Gates of Illusion …
It was obvious that Darren did not intend to kill the young lady so cruelly from the beginning. All of this was just a smokescreen.
"Then, where did he get so many Sin Points from?"
Since Darren knew the Thousand Gates of Illusion and had such a high status in the mountains, it was obvious that this was not the first time he had held such a sacrificial event. Every time, he used the Thousand Gates of Illusion to deceive these ignorant mountain people. In that case, he did not really kill anyone.
Since he did not kill anyone, how did he get more than 3,000 Sin Points? Qin Fang could not help but have this question in his heart.
