"Evil beast, why don't you just catch him without a fight?"

The upright and awe-inspiring Taoist monk descended from the sky, pointing his sword at Baishu.

Behind Elder Zhuji, several young Taixu disciples followed closely, landing on the ground, all of them with serious faces, ready to fight.

Bai Shu looked at these monks who came out of nowhere in extreme surprise, his face became gloomy and embarrassed, and he held the ocarina even more forcefully.

He pursed the corners of his lips, a trace of resentment and viciousness quietly appeared in his eyes, and he said bitterly: "I am a disciple of the high priest of witchcraft in Xuanxu Kingdom, where did some fake Taoist priests come to play tricks in front of me?" prestige?"

As soon as this remark came out, the Taixu disciples who surrounded him couldn't help but look embarrassed, and began to look at each other.

The kingdom of mortals does not communicate frequently with the world of cultivation, especially the beliefs of the Western Xuanxu Kingdom are particularly fanatical, so monks from various sects do not like to communicate with Xuanxu Kingdom, and the two are quite strange to each other.

In addition, the cultivation world has alienated mortals for decades, and Bai Shu is only in his teens, which is too young, and growing up in the Xuanxu Kingdom is even more occluded.

So today when he met these practitioners, he didn't know what monks were. He just thought that they were just like him, but they just learned some strange ways, so they came out to meddle in their own business.

As a result, this has caused such a ridiculous situation today.

Here, many young disciples of the Taixu Sect are still at a loss, looking at the arrogant person in front of them, they mistakenly think that Bai Shu is really capable, so they can't help being more vigilant for a while, His complexion became more and more dignified.

Seeing how cautiously everyone was facing an enemy, Bai Shu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had really bluffed these nosy people, so he couldn't help feeling complacent, and used the name of Xuanxu Kingdom again bluff.

"Wait!"

He stretched out his hand and swept the surrounding people, threateningly said: "This is a matter of Xuanxu Kingdom, I advise you fake Taoists to step back quickly, and face revenge in the future?"

"Oh, really?" Elder Casting Machine looked him up and down coldly, and sneered disdainfully.

Although Baishu's posturing just now frightened those young disciples, but with him as an elder, he could see through the real strength of the person in front of him at a glance.

Xuanxu Kingdom, although they don't have a deep relationship with their cultivation world, but it is one of the four major kingdoms for mortals, and the experienced Elder Casting Machine has heard of it.

I heard that there are people who are good at using witchcraft, especially when the two armies are fighting, they like to drive countless poisonous insects to bite and devour the mortal army, the method is very vicious.

But those Gu masters don't have the matching mentality, so they can't mobilize the aura in the body and the world to practice, and they may not reach the realm of training qi into the body throughout their lives, and they cannot become real monks, let alone step on their own. On the road of cultivating immortals.

Whether it is a Taoist cultivator or a demonic cultivator, in the eyes of these monks, those Gu masters in the Xuanxu Kingdom are a group of poor people who can only bully ordinary mortals, and are not as good as the dwindling demon cultivator group. .

At least other demon cultivators still have their own cultivation methods, their ancestors have been brilliant, and there have been many great talents in the group.

No matter what, they will not be like the Gu masters in Xuanxu Kingdom, who have spent their whole life serving the gods and pursuing power, but they have never been able to find the right way.

So, looking at this little Gu Master who is overconfident in front of him, Elder Zhu Ji almost laughed out loud for a moment.

Probably because he understood the sarcasm in his eyes, Bai Shu, who had already reported himself as a family member, blushed suddenly, and felt that he had been underestimated. Unwilling to be humiliated, he immediately pointed to Casting Machine: "That scumbag Taoist priest over there, you Do you have to stand up for Qingyun Country?"

Elder Zhuji sneered, and said: "The affairs of mortals have nothing to do with us, but since you say so, then today's Qingyun Kingdom's nosy affairs, our Taixu Sect will take care of them!"

Taixu Sect?

Which country's power is the Taixu Sect?

Bai Shu rolled his eyes, quietly stretched his hands behind his back, and secretly held his Gu worms, while quickly searching his mind for information about the Taixu Sect, he deliberately loudly provocatively said: "If you want to provoke trouble, Then see the real chapter in your hand!"

"Tell me! Do you want to come together, or come one by one?" He quietly glanced at the Taixu disciples around him, feeling a little guilty in his heart, but he still insisted on shouting.

After hearing his words, the Elder Zhuji immediately saw through his superficial provocative method, and he didn't even bother to reason for a moment, so he grabbed a young disciple behind him casually.

The little Gu master in front of him doesn't even have the cultivation level of the Qi refining period, he just uses a good Gu technique, the cultivation base of a random inner disciple present is far better than him, as an elder himself, if he surrenders his status to fight against him, It's just a shame for no reason.

So he casually dragged a disciple who was closest to him to deal with this not-so-high-ranking Gu Master in front of him.

Coincidentally, Bai Ziyu was standing right behind Elder Zhuji at that time, and before he could react, his whole body had already been lifted to the front by his collar.

"This person will be captured by Nephew Bai. Just pay attention to the poisonous insects in his hands. Don't worry about the rest, just keep alive."

Elder Zhu Ji patted him on the back of the head heavily, and it seemed particularly insincere to instruct him in a non-salty way.

Bai Ziyu held up the sword in a dazed expression, stared at Bai Shu in front of him, was stunned for a long time, then exhaled helplessly, and raised the sword in his hand.

After all, his cultivation is already at the peak strength of the Golden Core stage, and there is a faint tendency to break through the Nascent Soul stage. At this time, facing this unknown opponent in front of him, or any other peers of the same age, he will not appear to be too strong. timid.

On the contrary, it was Bai Shu who was opposite him, the moment he saw his face, his eyelids twitched suddenly.

The young man in front of me has a familiar face, a little like, a little like...

Before he could figure it out in his heart, Bai Ziyu who was facing him had a flash of sword light, his figure was like lightning, and he attacked in an instant.

The speed of a cultivator is not uncommon. Bai Shu was startled suddenly, and he bent back desperately to avoid the piercing sharp edge. He staggered back immediately, taking seven or eight steps in a row. Only then did he regain his footing.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his cheek.

He hastily wiped his face, and immediately felt the warm blood on his hand. It turned out that Bai Ziyu's sword just now, he still hadn't completely avoided it, and was cut a thin line on his cheekbone by the invisible sword edge. mouth.

Looking at the blood stain on his fingertips, Bai Shu couldn't help being stunned.

But it wasn't over yet, before he could recover from the stimulation, Bai Ziyu, who had just missed a move, turned around, approached him in an instant, and raised his sword again to slash at him diagonally.

Bai Shu, who had never touched sword qi before, had already sensed the invisible sharpness in the opponent's hand at this moment, and was shocked, he didn't care about any temptations, and hurriedly threw all the Gu worms in his hand.

Several slender centipedes with black luster all over their bodies were thrown out, shaking their countless hairy legs in mid-air, and twisting and twisting their bodies, they rushed towards Bai Ziyu.

But Bai Ziyu didn't dodge or dodge, the sword in his hand didn't disappear, he still slashed like Bai Shu, as if he didn't pay attention to those centipedes at all.

Sure enough, the sword energy that could not be recognized by the naked eye passed by, and those long centipedes that were still stretching their teeth and claws in the air were split into several pieces in an instant, and the swollen juice that contained the poison in the body suddenly splashed out, and then was blown away by the invisible sword energy. pop open.

But in the blink of an eye, the sword light had struck in front of Bai Shu's eyes, and he was so startled that he slumped on the ground in a panic, rolling and crawling to dodge.

Bai Ziyu remembered that the Elder of the casting machine had told him to keep alive, so he didn't kill him, and the movement of the sword could not help but slow down.

Bai Shu also took advantage of the moment when he hesitated to strike, and finally saved his life in embarrassment, and when he rolled to the other side, he immediately threw his pocket.

Immediately, a few toads covered in sores jumped out, each of them was the size of an adult's fist, their scarlet eyes were bulging and wide open, and when their wide mouths opened, a tongue with a smelly mucus was ejected. Come out, go straight to Bai Ziyu's cheek.

At that time, the distance between the two was very close, and the venomous tongues spit out by those toads did not leave time for people to react at all, almost as if they would kill people in the next second.

It's a pity that Bai Ziyu's cultivation is far superior to his opponent at this time, and the speed of the tongues of the toads in Bai Shu's hands is extremely slow in his eyes.

He casually reached over to the saber, fiddled with Toad's body a few times with the blade, and immediately saw that his shiny sword was covered with a lot of venom, and immediately frowned in disgust.

No longer being polite, he immediately stabbed those disgusting toads to death one by one with one sword, and then several swords came out at the same time, and immediately chopped these dead toads into small pieces of meat.

In his eyes, this was a very slow scene, but in Bai Shu's eyes, it was he who stopped the poisonous toad's long tongue in an instant, and within a few breaths, he chopped all these Gu insects into meat paste.

He couldn't even see Bai Ziyu's swordsmanship clearly.

In an instant, Bai Shu's face turned pale, and he still kept the posture of rolling on the muddy ground, daring not to move, his lips trembled for a long time, and finally he uttered a sentence: "You... who are you?"

Bai Ziyu pressed his sword against his throat, and said slowly: "Taixu sect disciple——Bai Ziyu!"

Bai Ziyu? !

Bai Shu's pupils tightened for a moment, and he looked at Bai Ziyu in front of him in horror, unable to speak for a while.

Is it him?

After being stunned for a while, he suddenly lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

No wonder, no wonder he looked at the young man in front of him just now, and felt that his appearance was familiar.

It turned out that he looked a little like the little emperor of Qingyun Kingdom...and also very similar to himself.

It's a pity that although their faces and appearances have been pointed out, the temperament and status of the three of them are very different. In the eyes of others, they can't find their resemblance, and they can't find any clues.

Bai Ziyu lives in Taixu Taoist sect, and since he was a child, he has been pure and upright, mixed with a bit of young people's ignorance of world affairs.

The little emperor Bai Ziyun grew up in the deep palace and was manipulated since he was a child. He always showed a bit of cowardice and a bit of ambition not to admit defeat.

However, Bai Shu was raised by the high priest of witches and Gus in Xuanxu Kingdom. From a young age, he was exposed to poisonous insects and Gu arts, and all he saw were dirty and dirty things, so he developed a kind of magic at a young age. He has a gloomy and mean personality, and has always been pretending to be aloof, but there is always a bit of gloom on his body that even he himself despises.

If these three people stand together, who would have thought that the three of them are actually half-brothers!

Thinking of this, even Bai Shu, who had already been caught without a fight, couldn't help but feel a little ironic and amused at this moment.

Back then, the Queen Mother of Qingyun Kingdom attacked dissidents and quietly threw the eldest son of the emperor who was secretly born by the little maid outside the palace, but the child was not frozen to death, but was discovered by Xuanxu Kingdom's spies in Qingyun Kingdom, and then picked it up. Studying under the high priest, he became a pawn.

The child was himself.

There was also a child, the son of the noble concubine, who was rumored by the queen mother to be the evil star of Tiangu, and then handed over the little prince to a charlatan, and there has been no news since then.

Unexpectedly, that little prince named Bai Ziyu would appear in the territory of Qingyun Kingdom again, and he seemed to be very capable, so he lived a pretty good life these years!

Ever since he found out about his background, Bai Shu has been harboring resentment towards the Queen Mother of Qingyun Kingdom all these years, and has been investigating her past actions all the time, so it is not surprising to know of Bai Ziyu's existence.

The strange thing is that among the three brothers, Bai Ziyun who became the ruler of the country is just a puppet in the hands of some people, and Bai Shu who became a Gu master is just a chess piece that lives in pain all day long.

But that Bai Ziyu, whose whereabouts should be unknown, has developed such a carefree appearance. It seems that he has lived a very happy life these years!

I really don't know what kind of thoughts the queen mother would have in her heart when she knew what the three brothers looked like now?

Thinking of the queen mother who personally created the woman he met now, Bai Shu's thoughts suddenly started to go astray again, almost to the point of gnashing his teeth.

Probably because the expression on his face was too frightening, Bai Ziyu couldn't help frowning at this time, and stepped forward two steps closer to him, intending to tie him up directly.

"Now you have nothing to do, hurry up and punish me, don't try to play tricks!"

As he warned, he reached out his hand to Bai Zhu's shoulder.

Bai Zhu, who fell on the muddy floor, looked at his outstretched palm with a blank face, and a trace of bitterness and hatred flashed in the depths of his eyes.

It was also a child who was murdered and abandoned by the queen mother... Why has he been treated like a chess piece and despised by others all these years, while Bai Ziyu lived so happily?

Why? !

Almost without thinking, just when Bai Ziyu's palm was about to touch his shoulder, Bai Shu raised his arm suddenly, and a lightning-like black shadow shot out, rushing towards Bai Ziyu.

But he himself saw this opportunity, turned over abruptly, leaped high from the mud ground, and galloped away like a distance at the fastest speed in his life.

He was still not reconciled to being caught without a fight like this, he still wanted to escape, so he took advantage of this last chance to fight.

And this black shadow is his last trump card.

Seeing that black slender shadow was about to bite the back of Bai Ziyu's hand, the old guy who had been paying close attention to this side couldn't help being anxious. He opened his eyes round and shouted anxiously, regardless of his swollen arm: "Be careful!" There are snakes—"

That black shadow was clearly the black poisonous snake that bit the back of his hand just now, and it was so poisonous that he couldn't move half of his body!

Accompanied by the anxious shouts of the old gang leader, the elder Zhuji and others looked indifferent, as if they didn't take Baishu's last trump card seriously at all.

Elder Zhu Ji even looked at Bai Shu's fleeing back with leisure, and sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, at the moment when the slender black snake's open fangs were about to touch the flesh on the back of his hand, Bai Ziyu frowned silently, instantly protecting the aura in his body around him.

I saw the black snake bit down, as if it had gnawed on a piece of hard iron, the two venomous fangs made a "crack", and were instantly broken by the invisible armor around Bai Ziyu's body. burst out.

Suddenly, the black snake without its fangs was stunned!

Just when the poor little snake was in a daze, Bai Ziyu stretched out his hand slowly, pinched its seven inches, and tied it calmly.

Then, he looked up at the fleeing figure of Bai Shu in the distance, swung the long sword in his hand, and threw it violently.

"what--"

In the distance, Baishu screamed in pain.

When everyone looked around, they realized that Bai Ziyu's sword blade had been nailed to the ground, and one of his calves was pierced by the long sword as thin as a cicada's wing. The dripping blood kept gushing out from the wound, wet Through his trouser legs.

Seeing that Bai Ziyu was about to be taken down, Elder Zhuji shook his head, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "You are young and have no experience in fighting against the enemy. It takes so long to take down such a small pawn. In the future, we still have to fight against the enemy." It’s just more tempering.”

Bai Ziyu was scolded by his elders, and couldn't help feeling a little depressed, so he obediently nodded to his elders to admit his mistake.

Seeing the scene in front of them, the old gang leader, the inspecting officer, and a group of soldiers all stared blankly, almost speechless.

This... solves it?

The voodoo master who devoured their entire army by himself with only a group of poisonous insects was easily... captured alive by the group in front of him?

The crowd of mortals couldn't believe their eyes, and they couldn't help being silent for a long time, looking at each other speechlessly.

There is not only the joy of escaping from death, but also the sadness of remembering the tragic death of his comrades just now, and even a bit of a trance as if from a lifetime ago. All kinds of emotions swarmed in an instant, forcing several people to feel like a man with a majestic seven-foot body. shed tears.

At this moment, Bai Ziyu, who was on the side, saw that the group of them looked like they were about to cry, and couldn't bear it, so he walked over and checked the old man's arm that was bitten by the black snake.

At this time, the toxin on the wound had spread from the back of the hand to the entire arm, and from the arm to half of the body, and the purple swelling almost reached the heart.

At this time, the old man was able to move his head and mouth, but his whole body was already paralyzed by the toxin and he could not lie down. The only way left was to wait for death.

Bai Ziyu lifted his swollen arm, looked at him with a frown, then got up and came to Bai Shu, pulled out his saber, and then carried him to the side of the old gang leader.

"How can you save the poison you injected?" He asked, tugging at Bai Shu's collar.

Bai Shu moved his bloody calf a little bit, looked at the nosy cultivator in front of him, and couldn't help sneering coldly: "I don't know how happy you are living, and you still have the leisure to be compassionate? "

Bai Ziyu looked at him with raised eyebrows, then casually inserted his saber back into the distance.

The wound on the calf was severely injured again, Bai Shu instantly let out a scream, and his feminine face could not help but contort.

"What the hell are you doing?"

He screamed in pain.

Bai Ziyu blinked slowly, and pulled out his sword blade again, which immediately caused Bai Shu's face to contort.

He said slowly: "I just want to ask how to get rid of the snake venom on this mortal."

While speaking, he pointed the blade at the wound on Bai Zhu's calf again, as if he would stab in again if he didn't say anything.

Bai Shu's face was completely contorted, and he roared almost heart-piercingly: "I said, I said...kill that black snake, take its gall and squeeze out its juice, and apply it on the wound on the back of that soldier's hand , can save his life!"

So hurry up and keep that broken sword of yours away from me——

After getting the answer he wanted, Bai Ziyu hurriedly disemboweled the little black snake that had been knotted tightly, took out the snake gall, squeezed out the juice and applied it on the wound according to the method Bai Zhu said, and the effect was immediate. .

After a while, the swelling on the long side of the old man's body has subsided a lot, and even the purplish red color on his arms is gradually returning to normal skin color. At this time, he can even sit up and move slowly, and his body is no longer Numb.

The old guy and the others just came back to their senses at this moment, and hurriedly thanked Bai Ziyu.

Bai Ziyu himself saved a life for the first time, and he was very happy in his heart. He couldn't help turning his head to look at his fellow disciples, but suddenly found Elder Zhu Ji's gloomy face again, extremely dignified.

He couldn't help being shocked, and wanted to ask: "What's wrong..."

Elder Zhu Ji waved his hand, stopped his next words, just stared at the mountain to the southwest, frowned and asked: "What is that place?"

What he said was naturally asking the old guy and the others who were familiar with the terrain.

Everyone followed his gaze, and couldn't help being secretly surprised.

I saw the hills in the southwest corner in the distance, and there were crows circling one after another, like an ominous place shrouded in dark clouds.

Those crows were fat and strong, their two wings shone with a gloomy light like a bone-scraping steel knife, their beaks and claws were extremely sharp, and a pair of scarlet eyeballs were wide open, constantly swarming around, looking very permeable.

The supervising officer, who has always been timid and fearless, suddenly saw the crows, opened his eyes wide in horror, and screamed: "The place in the southwest corner... is the head of the western border of my Qingyun Kingdom. Barracks!"

"About 12 soldiers and horses are stationed here, and it is absolutely impossible to be easily breached. At this time, how, how... Where did so many frustrated old birds come from?"

The military deployment in the western border of Qingyun Kingdom is the most stringent place in the whole country, and it is also the place guarded by heavy troops, the most unrelenting place.

Most of the troops stationed here are Xie Jiang's confidantes, and they are also the main force that was originally going to besiege the capital and wrestle with the Queen Mother's party.

Even if they wanted to rebel, they only mobilized some troops from the western border to attack the capital, but they didn't dare to completely mobilize the 12 troops stationed here, for fear that an enemy country would take advantage of the loopholes to attack.

From this we can see how important the garrison at the western border of Qingyun Kingdom is.

But at this time, the team of the old man and his party have been in danger for a long time, and there are only a few survivors left in the whole army, but they still don't see anyone from the general barracks coming to support them, or even seeing any help from the other side. any response.

Now, the general barracks in the southwest corner is not only silent, but there is even a group of ominous crows that love to eat carrion hovering in the sky, which is really worrying.

Looking at the supervising officer's pale face, Bai Shu, who was lying aside and clutching the wound on his calf, couldn't help but look up at the crows circling in the sky, and then a glimpse of clarity came to his eyes.

He spat out bloody saliva, and said with a sneer: "What's so strange about this, it means that the western region of your Qingyun Kingdom has changed hands at this time, and it is now my master's territory."

"Did you see—" He pouted his beak at the crows in the sky: "Those birds are my master's spies and pioneers, and they are also the eyes of his old man's surveillance."

"Since these beasts have already flown over your general barracks, that means..."

At this point, Bai Shu's words stopped abruptly, leaving everyone with unlimited room for imagination.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, the inspecting officer couldn't help but his knees went limp, and almost immediately collapsed on the ground, trembling all over, he couldn't help trembling and said: "No, how is it possible...impossible..."

On the contrary, the old guy's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately wanted to struggle to get up, and said anxiously: "The general barracks... How can the general barracks fall like this?"

"In the southwest direction, there are countless villages not far from the barracks, and there is a city with a large population. If the general barracks falls, the enemy can drive in and plunder the ordinary people directly."

During the war between the two countries, the people on both sides are always the most innocent, and they are always the one who is most likely to be implicated. Especially, the enemy country that invaded this time is the Xuanxu country.

Even among the nations that have fought endlessly all year round, Xuanxu Kingdom's habit of massacring cities and killing people and never keeping alive is notorious and despicable.

If the people of that city fell into the hands of the Xuanxu Kingdom, it was simply unimaginable what would happen to them.

Although the old man is just a veteran, but he can't sit idly by and ignore the dangers that the people of his country may encounter. In a moment of desperation, he actually disregarded his physical weakness and struggled to die. Brace yourself.

The little soldiers around him, fearing that he would be involved in their own injuries, hurriedly pushed him down again.

And the Elder Caster who was standing aside, after hearing what the old fellow said, his gloomy face instantly became more dignified.

Because he had been acutely aware of a danger from the group of crows hovering in the sky just now.

This kind of danger is a hundred times more dangerous than the little Gu master they just took down. It is definitely not just the power of Xuanxu country, even the high priest of witchcraft in Xuanxu country should not emit such a strange aura.

These auras are so weird...it almost doesn't look like the handwriting of the human race!

No, it's not just the Xuanxu Kingdom, there must be some inhuman forces intervening in the disputes between mortals, and I don't know what their purpose is?

Having made up his mind almost instantly, the Elder Zhu Ji's face darkened, and then he shouted to the disciples behind him: "As dignified Taixu disciples, we must never sit back and watch someone use evil magic to harm ordinary mortals."

"Wait, all come with me!"

After saying that, he lifted his Taoist robe and took the lead in flying to the southwest with his sword.

All the disciples of the Taixu Sect responded in unison, and followed closely behind. When Bai Ziyu followed up again, he even didn't forget to slip away the first prisoner in his life.

In the distance, over the sky where the group of crows hovered, a strange scarlet cloud flashed past silently.

……

"High Priest, this place has been cleaned up."

A Gu Master bowed to Mengsang respectfully, and replied in a low voice.

Behind him, the general barracks, which was originally stationed with heavy troops, is now full of blood. The corpses of Qingyun soldiers in black armor are piled up in mountains, and they are placed everywhere among the camps. The blood that flowed out has drowned people. ankle.

A real sea of ​​corpses and blood.

The high priest of the witchcraft, Mengsang, looked at the piled up corpses indifferently, gave a soft "hmm", and did not make other remarks.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on the forehead of the Gu Master in front of him, so he had to explain anxiously: "High Priest, I know you have ordered before that you want to catch more people, but the defense in the west of Qingyun Kingdom is not enough." Xiao Shi, even with the help of the gods, we cannot take it down easily."

"So, in a fierce war, it's unavoidable...we can't take too many prisoners at all, we can only try to kill all the heathen troops in order to keep the warriors of our Xuanxu Kingdom..."

Under the more and more gloomy eyes of the high priest, the poor Gu Master's explanation became smaller and smaller. In the end, he could hardly speak, and could only murmur in a low voice with his hands down. Big drops of sweat ooze out.

Mengsang snorted again: "So you haven't forgotten my previous advice?"

"I have already said that our gods need sacrifices, a large number of sacrifices, and the heart blood dug out from the hearts of living war captives. The more the better! Only by offering your own blood to the gods can you survive Wash away the sins of these heretics by the divine light."

He slowly spread his arms, as if praising the gods, and continued: "But now, you haven't even caught a living prisoner of war, and the gods will disappoint you."

As soon as he heard that the gods would disappoint him, the Gu Master's face immediately turned pale, and he could only explain anxiously again: "But High Priest, Qingyun Kingdom's defenders resisted too tenaciously. "

"In order to successfully win the camp here, the warriors of our Xuanxu Kingdom have almost exhausted their blood, and a large number of troops have been killed and wounded. There is no spare energy to deliberately capture people alive. We can only..."

"You bastard!" the high priest Mengsang cursed suddenly, the Gu Master was so startled that he trembled all over, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Mengsang walked around the camp with his hands behind his back, and said impatiently, "I've said so much, but you still haven't figured it out?"

"It's not our goal to take down the camp. It's our need to capture as many living sacrifices as possible. If we can't catch enough sacrifices for the gods, what if we take down the entire Qingyun Kingdom?"

The Gu Master still didn't give up, and still tried to mutter in a low voice: "But, our side suffered heavy casualties..."

Mengsang interrupted him again with a livid face: "The warriors of our Xuanxu Kingdom are blessed by the gods, so they will be safe and sound!"

"Those who died must have secretly disrespected the gods on weekdays. It was because of their insincerity that they ended up like this. Even if they died, there is no pity."

"And those who have always had sincere belief in the gods are the real warriors of our Xuanxu country. They will naturally be safe and sound. What are you worried about?"

Facing the stern scolding from the high priest of witchcraft, the Gu master in front of him was almost too frightened to lift his head, with an expression on the verge of crying, only nodding his head in response.

In the end, Mengsang lost his temper for a long time, and finally shook his arm fiercely, driving the Gu master out of his sight.

Leaning on his restored staff, he couldn't help sighing, secretly worrying about the huge number of sacrifices needed by the gods.

And at the top of the staff in his hand, a small fragment was embedded in it, shining brightly.

Before Ming Jiuyuan made a fuss in Xuanxu Kingdom, not only smashed down the temple, smashed the statue of Yang Xu, but also damaged the staff of the high priest incidentally in the chaos.

Later, Mengsang had no choice but to order someone to repair the center of the staff to strengthen the power of the staff again, and even inlaid fragments of national treasures that symbolized the status of high priests in Xuanxu's past generations on the top of the staff.

This time he came to attack Qingyun Kingdom for the sacrifice of the gods, of course he brought back the magic staff that he carried with him.

Just as the high priest of witchcraft, Mengsang, was sighing, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes from outside the hard disk, and there were a few faint cries of babies.

His complexion immediately brightened, his brows brimming with joy.

Not long after, a large number of people who went to sweep the nearby villages returned with a full load, and came before the high priest full of sacred glory.

Under the horseshoes of these warriors from the Xuanxu Kingdom, there are one after another large and small bamboo cages, stacked one on top of the other, like chicken coops and duck cages piled up randomly.

It's just that those cages are not chickens and ducks, but children of different ages.

Among these children, the oldest was no more than ten years old, and the youngest was only one or two years old. They were all bent and squatted and forced into small cages one by one, crying miserably.

Look at the clothes on these children, most of them are patched rough cloth clothes, they all look not very wealthy, obviously they were all just looted by the army of Xuanxu Kingdom from a nearby village.

The weather was still cold at this time, but those children were barefoot, their faces were pale from the cold, their hands and feet were bruised and cracked, as if they had been blown in the cold wind for a long time.

Some younger and weaker children could barely cry at this time, and could only curl up in the corner of the cage like a kitten, sobbing weakly.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the high priest Mengsang was also very distressed, and hurriedly told his subordinates: "Quickly transfer all these sacrifices to a warm tent, don't forget to light a few braziers here, and give these children some food and water, don’t let them die.”

Only when they are alive can they dig out the beating hearts alive from the chests of these little guys and offer them to the gods as sacrifices.

If this batch of children died, then they would be wasting their time and have to go find the next batch.

After his subordinates escorted these dozens of children away, Mengsang finally felt a little more relaxed. He waved his hand and recruited another subordinate, and asked, "Did you only find so few people after you went out to search for so long?"

His subordinates bowed and said: "Back to the high priest, these are just some small nearby villages with a small population, so there are even fewer school-age children. We have searched for a long time, and we have just gathered dozens of them. "

"However, the parents of those children... some are still alive, as well as the living adults we also captured in the village, High Priest, look..."

The subordinate asked tentatively: "Look, are those adults killed or raised as sacrifices?"

The high priest Mengsang waved his hand: "Even if these big sacrifices are not as good as young children, their blood can still be sacrificed. The gods are selfless and love all living beings, so they will not despise these sacrifices!"
