Chapter 135 - 125 Blood Method Pill, Take Action 1
"Pan Long, go over there and stay vigilant at all times."
"Madam Xue, you\'ve been injured, be careful not to be caught off-guard by that escaped Incense-burning Dao Cultivator."
The elderly man surnamed Huo quickly delegated tasks.
The young man surnamed Pan and the middle-aged female Cultivator both complied dutifully.
Soon, they dispersed in an orderly manner, pounding array flags into designated points on the geographical positions with special techniques.
All three were Cultivators, their speed greatly surpassing that of the civilians of the Incense Fire Dao taking refuge inside their homes below.
Strangely, no fanatics from the Incense Fire Dao were sighted.
This made the elderly man surnamed Huo fairly pleased:
"They\'re likely hiding within the town, clueless to the fact that we\'ll absorb all of them."
The middle-aged woman was also extremely delighted.
While the elderly man surnamed Huo and the middle-aged female Cultivator were not looking, the young man surnamed Pan quietly pulled a crimson corpse out of his Storage Bag. He gave it a deep look before burying it in a nearby piece of land, carefully covering it up.
After finishing, the young man surnamed Pan nonchalantly continued to pound his array flags into the ground.
Sure enough.
The trio successfully enclosed the main part of Mengxing Villa according to their plan.
"Those two surnamed Bu should be almost ready..."
The elder man surnamed Huo estimated after a brief calculation.
The middle-aged woman had regrets on her face: "I forgot to exchange Sound Transmission Talismans with her for updates."
"Should I go check on them?"
"No need, this Blood Sacrifice Array is extremely flexible, even if she hasn\'t set up all her array flags, it can still be activated. Although the effect will be weaker, to avoid further complications at night, we should activate it straight away!"
The man surnamed Huo shook his head outright.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman agreed and nodded:
"Indeed, Senior Brother Huo has thought it through! A bird in hand is worth two in the bush!"
"Junior Brother Pan, come over here. Let\'s activate this Formation together."
Upon hearing this, the youth surnamed Pan was slightly stunned, then displayed a difficult smile, nodding his head.
"Coming."
Having said that, he eagerly joined the two.
The three pooled their mana into the master array flag held by the old man surnamed Huo.
Whosh!
Bloody light screens instantly rose from every corner of Mengxing Villa, soon converging into a colossal lid in the sky above Mengxing Villa, shrouding most of the area!
"Huh?!"
Just then, the facial expression of the man surnamed Huo revealed his astonishment as he looked towards the southern part of Mengxing Villa.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman and the youth surnamed Pan finally followed his gaze.
They were all taken aback.
The area above the southern part of Mengxing Villa was entirely empty, without a single blood screen.
The middle-aged woman immediately poured her mana into her eyes, only to realize that they hadn\'t made a mistake. The array flags that should have been set up on the southern side of Mengxing Villa hadn\'t been placed at all!
"Where are they?!"
The voice of the middle-aged woman involuntarily raised in volume.
The elderly man surnamed Huo had a grave expression, showing signs of regret:
"It\'s my greed. That one surnamed Bu probably detected that we wanted to harm her, so she decided to escape first."
"Then, what should we do?"
The middle-aged woman hurriedly asked.
"The Array has already been activated, it\'s too late to add those array flags now! Forget it, just covering the majority of Mengxing Villa is enough."
The face of the elderly man surnamed Huo was gloomy: "But take note, the Blood Sacrifice Array couldn\'t cover the whole Mengxing Villa. If that Incense-burning Dao Cultivator is hiding in the south, there\'s a risk that he might launch a surprise attack. We need to be on guard!"
"Understood!"
Both the middle-aged woman and the youth surnamed Pan nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterward, under the instructions of the elderly man surnamed Huo, they swiftly began sitting in meditation and ingesting pills to rapidly refine and replenish their mana.
"Quickly recover, in case any Incense-burning Dao Cultivator launches a surprise attack."
Hearing this, Pan Long hastily nodded and carefully scanned the surrounding areas with a wary look.
He had a hint of doubt in his mind.
"Did those two really escape?"
Meanwhile, beneath the blood-colored light screen.
In every house, ordinary believers from the Incense Fire Dao, who were hiding nervously in closets, under beds, and behind doors, could see blood droplets slowly oozing out of the pores on their palms and slowly rising...
"Ah—"
"Save me!"
"Dad! Mom!"
"I don\'t want to die..."
"The god will definitely rain down fury; you all will not die a good death!"
Voices cursing, wailing, pleading...all under the blood-colored light screen, gradually went silent.
Completely silent.
Droplets of blood rose slowly from various corners underneath the blood-colored light screen.
One after another, they coalesced into large balls of blood mid-air.
"Two..."
The face of the elderly man surnamed Huo darkened slightly.
The middle-aged woman and the youth surnamed Pan also noticed this.
"Damn it! If that surnamed Bu hadn\'t run away, we could have formed three blood balls!"
The middle-aged female Cultivator said indignantly.
Upon hearing her, the face of the elder named Huo grew even grimmer.
However, beneath the blood curtain, the two Blood Method Pills had begun to condense after a series of contractions.
Soon, two pills, the size of a fingertip, that had taken more than half of Mengxing Villa to be produced through a blood sacrifice, had finally formed.
Despite his slight frustration, the elder named Huo revealed a hint of pleasant surprise upon seeing the two Blood Method Pills.
"Two top-grade Blood Method Pills!"
"Who could have imagined that merely half of Mengxing Villa could produce a top-grade product... could it be that the Incense-burning Dao Cultivator is hiding here?"
The middle-aged female Cultivator and young Cultivator surnamed Pan revealed excitement on their faces and moved closer.
Meanwhile, the elder named Huo could not wait to reach out for the two Blood Method Pills flying towards him.
But just as his hand was about to touch the Pills, he felt a sudden shock ripple through his body!
He incredulously lowered his head, only to see the tip of a blood-red Mysterious Iron cone decorated with strange patterns pierced through his chest.
No blood flowed from the wound, instead, it was being absorbed by the Mysterious Iron cone.
With the rapid loss of blood, the mana in his Dantian was drained at a terrifying speed.
"Pan Long! What... what are you doing?!"
The late-reacting middle-aged female Cultivator watched in shock at the sudden change unfolding right before her eyes.
\'Pan Long\' gently pulled out the Mysterious Iron Cone, pushed the elder named Huo to the ground, turned around, opened his hand and revealed an indescribable smile to the female Cultivator:
"You also saw it... there are only two Blood Method Pills, do you really think this old goat would share them with us?"
"I…"
The middle-aged female Cultivator couldn\'t help but look at the fallen elder with hesitation.
While the elderly Huo, lying on the ground, struggled to move. His hair was visibly whitening and withering at an alarming speed. He tried to say something and pointed at Pan Long, but in the end, he could not utter a word.
His arm dropped weakly.
His eyes were filled with shock and puzzlement until his last breath.
The middle-aged female Cultivator quickly realized that something was off: "Your magic tool is not... you are not Pan…"
"Hiss!"
The Mysterious Iron Cone was thrown out and plunged into the female Cultivator\'s throat, creating a large hole.
"You guessed it right."
\'Pan Long\' laughed: "Unfortunately, there\'s no reward."
An Ocher Nail fell out weakly from the woman\'s tongue. \'Pan Long\' did not hesitate to place it into his Storage Bag.
He then went and collected several Storage Bags from the woman\'s body.
"Quite the haul."
\'Pan Long\', rejoicing in his victory, patted the woman\'s uncloseable eyes lightly.
Afterwards, he went over to the elder named Huo. After searching him, he found a gleaming eyeball hidden beneath the elder\'s body.
"The old goat had another trick up his sleeve!"
\'Pan Long\' picked up the eyeball and his face turned grim.
That eyeball was the one the elder named Huo was using earlier to record \'its\' every observation.
He originally planned to take this eyeball to the Tianmen Cult to claim his Merit.
However, he didn\'t expect that the elder named Huo had secretly recorded everything.
"It looks like... I have to find some old acquaintances now... Alas, it\'s not my fault, the statues are lost and there are no sutras…"
\'Pan Long\', either boasting or out of habit, chuckled and put away the Storage Bag of the elder named Huo.
Only after dealing with everything, he leisurely stood up. He looked at two top-grade Blood Method Pills in the gradually fading Blood Curtain, flying up and down, seeming a bit lost.
"What a treasure, it was well worth my sacrifice..."
\'Pan Long\' licked his lips, stretched out his hand, and activated the array flag.
Soon, the Blood Curtain collapsed, and the two Blood Method Pills flew out quickly.
And then fell into his hand…
"Hiss!"
\'Pan Long\' perceived a shadow streaking past!
The two Blood Method Pills he was about to hold disappeared instantly!
He was horrified!
He hurriedly summoned the mana in his body, a flying Magic Tool instantly flew out of the Storage Bag, trying to escape with him.
But before the Magic Tool could take off, it was shattered by a shadowy figure!
"Who is it?!"
Pan Long was terrified, and he hurriedly landed.
With the blood-red Mysterious Iron Cone in his hand, he tried to make a sweeping attack all around him, but it was all in vain.
The opponent\'s figure finally appeared.
A haughty Spirit Chicken, half a man tall, with a touch of ruthlessness in its eyes, stood atop a nearby building, coldly looking down at him!
"To-, top-grade Spirit Chicken?!"
\'Pan Long\' looked shocked.
Yet he soon realized, this was just the beginning.
Shortly, a top-grade Spirit Chicken covered in black and emitting multicolored light walked over in a leisurely manner.
Then, an upper-graded Spirit Chicken... two top-graded Spirit Turtles, six upper-graded Spirit Turtles...
\'Pan Long\'s\' face turned pale!
He couldn\'t help but look around:
"Who are you? With so many top-grade Spirit Beasts, even if you\'re not a Master of Foundation Establishment, you must be a Stage X Qi Refining Cultivator. Why don\'t you show yourself?"
Soon after.
A voice was heard from the darkness that caused him to tremble:
"Thirteen, knock him out."
Could it be him?!
