Chapter 700: Snatching Spiritual Energy

"Replace me, take me instead of my child!" Sister Zhang cried out.

Onlookers shook their heads. Sister Zhang had completely broken down, unable even to grasp the simplest truths. "Sister Zhang," they said, "the City Lord is trying to breakthrough from the fragmented core stage to the infant stage. The spiritual energy he needs has already been collected from every household. What he lacks now is an insight, an insight that cannot be pinpointed and can only be obtained through the demon method."

"These children, untrained as they are, are closest to the innate body. After refining them, the City Lord will be more capable of grasping the Tao and becoming a true Nascent Soul person. How can you replace your child?"

Infected by Sister Zhang, the other children's parents also cried out against the blood sacrifice of their children.

Sensing the turmoil, the City Lord's brows tightened as he used his Lion's Roar technique to quiet them.
