Chapter 843: Sacrifice (Please Subscribe)_1

Xu Sheng's gaze rested on the disciples of the Xieling Sect below, his cheeks void of any expression…

Next to him, Shangguan Lin's beautiful eyes trembled with a hint of compassion as she silently thought, "These Xieling Sect disciples are so naive, completely unaware of the impending disaster."

However, upon further reflection, if she hadn't met Xu Sheng, she might have ended up as one of the disciples sacrificed!

Noticing the change in Shangguan Lin's expression, Xu Sheng asked in confusion, "Are you worried for these Xieling Sect disciples?"

Shangguan Lin came back to her senses, shook her head to deny it and said, "No, I was just thinking that if it weren't for you, my fate might have been the same as theirs. That's all."

As for worrying about these Xieling Sect disciples, that was obviously out of the question!

Xu Sheng smiled indifferently, "Is that so? Isn't that quite good?"

Shangguan Lin glared at him with her beautiful eyes and pouted, muttering, "What's good about that? You've even made my heart ache so many times, it's almost more painful than being sacrificed!"

Xu Sheng showed a look of surprise and said no more…

As time went by, the crescent moon above gradually turned full, casting a stronger silvery glow…

Seeing this scene, the disciples of the Xieling Sect below all excitedly exclaimed, "It's a full moon! It's already a full moon!"

"It's really a full moon! It seems that what the Elder said was true, there really is a method to enhance talents! Just the thought of it is exhilarating!"

"This is wonderful! As long as my talent is enhanced, my cultivation level will surely make further progress! Stepping into the Void Refining Stage is but a moment away!"

At this moment, the Elders next to the Sect Master of the Xie Ling Sect cautiously inquired, "Sect Master, it's a full moon now, can we start?"

"If we miss the night of the full moon, we might have to wait for decades!"

"Sect Master, give the order! While these disciples are all excited,"

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Xie Ling Sect's eyes flickered several times as he said coldly, "Then let's begin."

With that said, he gave a nod to the Elder who had previously been in charge of placating the Xieling Sect disciples.

The latter instantly understood, shifted his gaze back to the excited Xieling Sect disciples below and loudly ordered, "Xieling Sect disciples who wish to enhance their talents, please quickly enter inside the pit! No matter what happens, do not resist!"

Upon hearing the command, the already impatient Xieling Sect disciples moved, scrambling to enter the pit in fear of missing out on a spot!

Enhancement of talent was an immense temptation for them; unless someone was a fool, they would all want to seize this opportunity!

After a few dozen seconds, all the Xieling Sect disciples filled the pit completely, the area swarming with heads. A sight that couldn't help but make one's heart tremble…

The Elder of the Evil Spirit Sect stroked his beard, nodding in satisfaction and said, "Good! Everyone who has entered the pit will have their talent enhanced, no need to rush!"

After reassuring the Xieling Sect disciples inside the pit again, his eyes shifted to the Sect Master of the Xie Ling Sect, waiting for his command.

The Sect Master of the Xie Ling Sect glanced at the disciples below and then ordered, "Begin!"

As his words fell, he and the other Elders of the Evil Spirit Sect all jumped to different directions around the pit…

Then they turned their gazes to Xu Sheng, who had yet to make a move…

Xu Sheng looked at Shangguan Lin next to him and said softly, "Shangguan, wait here for me! If anything seems off, run immediately!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Lin's heart raced, and she prepared herself mentally for the bloody scene to come…

She then nodded earnestly and said, "Alright! Don't worry, Xu Sheng, I'll take care of myself!"

Seeing her reaction, Xu Sheng dashed towards another empty direction over the pit and stood there firmly…

Perfectly forming an encirclement with the other Elders, they surrounded the Xieling Sect disciples within…

At this moment, the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect, looking at the now dazzling halo above, coldly shouted, "Begin!!"

All the Elders of the Evil Spirit Sect, including Xu Sheng, burst out with their spirit force fluctuations! An aura of terror surged out in an instant...

The pupils of the Xie Ling Sect Disciples below all brightened, their belief in this method of enhancing their cultivation levels growing even firmer.

"Is this the method to enhance one's talent? It actually requires the Sect Master and all the Elders to perform together!"

"Why do I feel that something is not right? A strong sense of palpitation is continuously emerging from the depths of my heart..."

"Of course, it's natural. With the spiritual pressure of the Sect Master and the Elders, it's already good that you can still stand!"

"Don't overthink it. The Elders and Sect Master would not deceive us! Let's just look forward to how much our talents can be enhanced!"

As they conversed, below the entire pit, those crimson bloodstains suddenly flickered with red light and began to spread out continuously, forming an array large enough to envelop the pit. It slowly rose up, sealing the pit from above!

With a "BOOM!!" The terror brought by the array instantly forced these Xie Ling Sect Disciples to kneel on the ground...

Soon after, the pit gradually filled with the puzzled cries and wails of the Xie Ling Sect Disciples...

"No... No, this is wrong!! Why... it's so painful!"

"Ahhhh!! Is this... the pain one must endure to enhance talent?"

"Ahhhh!! Don't be foolish! This... We've all been deceived by the Elders and the Sect Master!! They are sacrificing us all in cold blood!"

"It hurts! My hands, and legs, Ahhhhh!!"

"Damn it!! The Elders... and Sect Master, to be so cruel, I won't die with my eyes closed!"

Shangguan Lin's Beautiful Eyes looked at the Xie Ling Sect Disciples struggling and roaring in the pit, her face turning a shade paler as she thought to herself, "Is this... sacrifice?"

The whole scene was far bloodier than she had imagined. If all the Xie Ling Sect Disciples were killed swiftly, that would still be bearable!

But now, the array's pressure was slowly being increased, making them suffer and die bit by bit!

As the oppression caused by the array grew stronger, the pain inflicted on the Xie Ling Sect Disciples became more intense, causing even their skin to start tearing, continuously leaking scarlet blood...

Following that, the pungent smell of blood rose continuously from the pit, eerily drifting towards the full moon in the sky...

After a while, it was unknown if it was an illusion or not!

The full moon in the sky, which should have been shining with silver light, was somehow stained with a hint of scarlet...

The Elders of the Evil Spirit Sect, seeing this change, all cruelly laughed...

"Hahahaha! Soon we will be able to enhance our cultivation levels!!"

"After raising these beasts for so many years, it's finally not in vain!"

"Let your blood be the stepping stone for our ascent! This is the fate of Xie Ling Sect Disciples"

Xu Sheng heard these extremely corny words and merely glanced at them indifferently...

However, just now, he vaguely sensed a murderous intent in the Sect Master of Xie Ling Sect's eyes...

I'm afraid...

Things will not proceed that smoothly...
