Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

"Back to God."

A familiar voice rang in his ears, followed by a cool breeze that slowly spread from a spot on his forehead, instantly waking Qi Changqing from his unconscious state.

To his surprise, as soon as he opened his eyes, Qi Changqing found that not only was his mouth gagged, but his hands and feet were also tightly bound.

What happened? !

Qi Chang looked at Jiang Yuchuan sitting in front of him with a puzzled expression.

However, since it was the middle of the night and there was no light in the room, Qi Changqing had no way of seeing Jiang Yuchuan's expression.

Seeing that Qi Changqing had regained consciousness, Jiang Yuchuan removed the cloth from his mouth.

Qi Changqing let out a long breath and immediately asked impatiently, "Sir, what exactly happened? I remember we were eating, so how did I end up tied up here? Could it be that Village Chief Chen—"

Recalling everything that had happened, Qi Changqing suddenly thought of a possibility and immediately looked at Jiang Yuchuan.

Jiang Yuchuan nodded slightly: "Just as you guessed."

"But why would that old man Chen do that?"

Qi Changqing couldn't understand Village Chief Chen's motives for doing this, but he was genuinely angry.

He had previously felt quite sorry for the old man! He never expected the old man to drug his food and then tie him up!

"He did this to replace his grandson and sacrifice you to the fox spirit."

Jiang Yuchuan directly revealed the truth of the matter.

"He'll use me to replace his grandson as a sacrifice to the fox spirit?!"

"What is all this nonsense?" Qi Changqing was completely bewildered. "—A fox spirit?! Wait! Sir, do fox spirits really exist in this world?"

"Who knows?" Jiang Yuchuan smiled. "Whether fox spirits really exist or not, no one can say for sure unless they see it with their own eyes."

"I saw it with my own eyes..."

Qi Changqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, "Sir, are you planning to use me as bait to lure out that fox spirit?"

Jiang Yuchuan didn't deny it, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid?"

Qi Changqing immediately shook his head, "With you here, sir, I'm not afraid at all. I also want to see the true face of this fox spirit!" Then, with an indignant look, he said, "Since this fox spirit uses children as sacrifices, it must be no good!"

“Before you, this village had already sacrificed nine children under the age of ten to that fox spirit.”

Then, Jiang Yuchuan told Qi Changqing the information he had obtained through special means.

It turns out that the bandit incident the village chief mentioned didn't happen three months ago, but two years ago. And the one who saved their village wasn't any government soldiers, but that fox spirit!

After saving the villagers, the fox spirit claimed that she had overused her magic power and damaged her foundation, and that she would need the flesh and blood of a child under the age of ten every three months to recover.

Although the villagers were extremely grateful to the fox spirit for saving their lives, they could never bring themselves to offer their own flesh and blood to the fox spirit to eat.

So the villagers knelt down together and begged the fox spirit for mercy.

The fox spirit refused to comply and, revealing its ferocity, immediately tore one person to pieces with its claws.

The villagers were immediately terrified and dared not utter another word.

After designating the location for the child to be offered, the fox spirit flew away.

Some of the bolder villagers packed their belongings overnight, intending to flee the village. But the next day, their bodies would be hung on a big tree at the village entrance, their deaths gruesome, with gaping, bloody holes in their stomachs, their internal organs all removed.

Terrified, the villagers dared not harbor any other thoughts. They obediently followed the fox spirit's instructions, selecting a child under the age of ten from the village every three months as a sacrifice and sending him to the location designated by the fox spirit.

This cruel sacrifice continued for more than two years...

Qi Changqing remained silent for a long time after hearing this. He never imagined that there could be such a heinous and insane existence in the world!

"Sir, we absolutely cannot let that scourge get away with this!"

After calming down, Qi Changqing said resentfully.

Jiang Yuchuan nodded. "Since we've encountered this, we naturally can't just sit idly by."

Using children to cultivate evil arts is an outrageous act, even in the world of cultivation.

Such heretical cultivators, once discovered, are invariably pursued and annihilated by righteous cultivators.

Therefore, after learning the details of the matter, Jiang Yuchuan had no intention of letting this so-called 'fox spirit' go.

Although it wouldn't be difficult for him to deal with the 'fox spirit' if he took action himself, for Qi Changqing, besides watching the show, he would have no sense of participation, let alone learn anything from it.

Therefore, Jiang Yuchuan came up with the idea of ​​turning the tables on Qi Changqing, using him as bait to lure out the 'fox spirit' and test Qi Changqing's ability to handle a crisis on the spot.

Of course, he wouldn't force Qi Changqing to act as bait. If Qi Changqing disagreed, he would think of other ways.

However, judging from his performance and reaction just now, Qi Changqing not only had no resistance or fear about acting as bait, but seemed eager to try, which did not disappoint him.

Jiang Yuchuan's plan was simple, without many twists and turns. After luring out the 'fox spirit,' he would let Qi Changqing test its skills first, thereby giving Qi Changqing some practical experience. Finally, Qi Changqing would take action to either kill or cripple the 'fox spirit.'

Because he had already left a life-saving measure on Qi Changqing, Jiang Yuchuan was not worried that Qi Changqing would be in danger when facing the 'fox spirit' alone.

In order to achieve the most realistic effect, Jiang Yuchuan did not tell Qi Changqing about the life-saving method.

The sacrifice is scheduled for tomorrow. In order not to arouse the suspicion of Village Chief Chen, Jiang Yuchuan stuffed the cloth back into Qi Changqing's mouth before leaving and tampered with the rope.

As long as Qi Changqing exerts force, the rope will break instantly, and when Qi Changqing does not move, no one else can see anything unusual.

After Jiang Yuchuan left, Qi Changqing immediately leaned against the wall, continuing to feign unconsciousness while conserving his energy.

There was still a long time before the sacrifice, so Qi Changqing wasn't in a hurry. He needed to get himself into the best possible condition so he could better deal with everything that was about to happen!

A day passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was time to offer sacrifices to the fox spirit.

In the time leading up to the sacrifice, Qi Changqing began his first performance in order to avoid arousing suspicion from the Chen family.

When faced with Village Chief Chen and his family, he tearfully begged for mercy while frantically shaking his head and refusing any food or drink. If he couldn't cry anymore and couldn't continue the act, he would simply tilt his head to the side and pretend to faint.

Such a violent reaction is perfectly normal for a child under ten years old who has been separated from his family and tied up. Therefore, the Chen family never suspected anything from beginning to end.

The three men, led by Village Chief Chen, were responsible for escorting the children to be sacrificed.

Apart from Village Chief Chen, the other two men were both young and strong. And it was those two strong men who were responsible for carrying Qi Changqing to the sacrificial site.

When Qi Changqing was carried out of the village chief's house, the village streets were unusually crowded with people.

These people stood silently on both sides of the road, watching the sacrificial procession disappear into the distance, their faces expressionless and without uttering a sound.

Even when some of them discovered that the person being sacrificed was not the village chief's grandson, they only showed a moment of surprise and did not say a word.

In their view, Village Chief Chen's actions were completely meaningless, merely prolonging his grandson's life by three more months.

When the next sacrifice time arrives, the person must still be obediently offered to the fox spirit.
