Chapter 46: The Blood Cult
"The hour is almost up, are you all ready?" the Elder of the Cloud Falling Gate shouted.
"Ready", the crowd responded, and the voices were extremely loud.
"Huh"
Suddenly, in the endless desert in front of me, an ethereal "dream" door appeared.
"Let's go", Yun Feng took the lead in getting up and shouted loudly.
"Hmmm", "Whew", "Whew"
With the opening of the door of the secret realm, everyone was not waiting, and rushed to break into the secret realm.
"Huh, this is the Secret Realm of the Firmament?"
Ling Tian looked around curiously, looking at this secret world that was no different from the real world, his eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.
"Huh, Fallen Village?" Ling Tian looked at the ruined village in front of him and stepped into this place with great curiosity.
"Who are you?"
As soon as Ling Tian stepped into the village, he was intercepted by a strong middle-aged man who stretched out his hand and questioned him.
"This, I am a person who has gone out to practice, passing by here, I saw that there is a village located here, so I came to check", Ling Tian's tone was gentle and sincere.
"Hmph, since you're passing by, you don't need to enter, outsiders are not welcome in our village", the middle-aged man made a straight face, and his tone was very impatient.
"This, I", Ling Tian stood in place and scratched his head awkwardly, looking at the middle-aged man at a loss.
"Zhuang'er, let him in", just as Ling Tian was about to leave, an old man said to the middle-aged man kindly.
"Young man, we can allow you to enter the village, but our village has not been very peaceful these days", the old man looked at Ling Tian carefully and said slowly.
"Father, in the past few days, the Blood Underworld Sect has repeatedly offended my fallen village, and the village is very unpeaceful, so it is not suitable to take in this person again", the middle-aged man shouted intentionally.
Seeing this, the old man smiled slightly, but did not say much.
Ling Tian understood that the middle-aged man was obviously reminding him when he said this, but Ling Tian was not familiar with the environment in the secret realm now, and he needed to understand this world through the narration of the "locals".
"You two don't have to worry, since I can go through this experience, there are still some means of self-preservation", Ling Tian bent down and clenched his fists at the two of them, and said respectfully.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and secretly scolded Ling Tian for not understanding the meaning of his words.
"Since the son is so insistent, then, Xiao Zhuang will arrange the residence of this VIP by you", after the old man finished speaking, he slowly disappeared from the sight of the two.
"I said that you are not stupid, let you go and you will not go, and then kindly told you that the Blood Underworld Sect will come to the village in the next few days to wreak havoc, and you still have to live stupidly, really, are you missing a root in your brain", after the middle-aged man saw the old man leaving, he scolded Ling Tian with a slap on his face, looking like he hated iron but not steel.
"Hahaha, thank you Brother Zhuang for your kindness, it's just that where is this Blood Sect sacred? It makes Big Brother so afraid?" Ling Tian had a good impression of this kind middle-aged man, so Ling Tian decided to help this middle-aged man as much as possible.
"What? You don't even know about the Blood Underworld Sect, could it be that you have trained here from the other two realms?" Brother Zhuang looked shocked, as if he had seen Ling Tian as if he had become an alien.
"This, that's right, I'm here from other domains, so I don't know much about the situation here," Ling Tian admitted.
"But even if you come from the Heavenly Domain and the Human Domain, you should know the three major forces of the region," Brother Zhuang shook his head as he spoke, obviously, he couldn't figure out this question.
"Brother Zhuang, how old do you see me, I have been cultivating in the family before, no, as soon as I achieved some achievements in cultivation, I was kicked out by the family, intending to hone myself", Ling Tian's expression was innocent, and his attitude was sincere.
"So that's the case", Brother Zhuang suddenly realized and nodded again and again.
"This Blood Sect is one of the three major forces in the region, and its strength is very strong, and it is not at all something that a small village of ours can resist", Brother Zhuang was slightly frustrated and very helpless.
"Brother Zhuang, can you elaborate on it a little more, for example, the general strength of this Blood Immortal Sect?" Ling Tian continued to ask.
"I don't know the general strength of the Blood Sect either, it's just that the strength of the sect members who often come to our village to collect taxes and fees is about around the Kaiyuan Realm," Brother Qiang said as he struggled to recall.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"
Before the two finished talking, more than a dozen gray-clothed men arrived in the distance.
"What's the matter, old fortune, are you ready for this month's money?" A man in gray walked up to Brother Zhuang's father and looked at him condescendingly.
"Oh, our village has handed over all its savings, and now you are forcing us to die," the old man yelled hoarsely.
"Hahaha, all the savings? very good", the man in gray suddenly stepped forward, pushed away Lao Futou, and faced the villagers.
"If the Fallen Village has really degenerated to this point, then there is no need for it to exist", the man in gray waved his hand, ready to make a move.
"Hmph", Ling Tian snorted coldly when he saw this, ready to make a move.
"Wait", just as Ling Tian and the man in gray were about to make a move, suddenly, a loud shout resounded throughout the village.
"My lord, in Xia Ford, if my lord is willing to spare the village this time, I promise that I will definitely pay the taxes and fees on time in the future, not a single point", Ford rushed out of the crowd and nodded at the man in gray, looking very humble.
"Oh, that's true, if you can do it, I won't embarrass you from now on," the man in gray looked at Ford suspiciously.
"Of course, it's just that there is one more thing to worry about the adults, and that is to kill the old man Fu and Fu Zhuang together, so that no one can stop me from paying taxes to the adults", Ford smiled slyly, and his eyes revealed smugness.
Fu Zhuang, who was standing behind everyone, was shocked when he heard this, obviously, he didn't expect that his own uncle would want to put himself to death.
"Ford", Fu Da shouted, and the strength of Tsukiki Yae poured out, and a punch hit Ford in the face.
"Hmph, stop", the man in gray shouted when he saw this.
"Bang"
Ling Tian mercilessly blasted the gray-clothed man away, and immediately after, more than a dozen gray-clothed men who followed also fell on Ling Tian's hands one after another.
"Who are you? How dare you obstruct the Blood Netherworld Sect's work? Are you impatient?" The gray-clothed man at the head of the Blood Netherworld Sect stared at Ling Tian fiercely.
"Hmph, I don't care what you teach, I only know that if you don't get out of here now, I will leave you in this depraved village forever", Ling Tian's tone was very strong and could not be refuted.
"Okay, very good, you wait for me, wait for me", the man in gray saw that Ling Tian was about to make a move again, and hurriedly waved his hand to retreat.
"Ford, hahahahaha, you are really my good brother", the old man Fu stopped Fu Zhuang, who was beating Ford, pointed at Ford, and said madly.
"Poof", Ford's mouth was filled with a rich, fishy sweet taste.
"Brother, do you think of me as your brother? you just treat me like a usable pawn," Ford struggled to his feet as he left.
"Also, did I do something wrong this time? Isn't it worth killing the two of you in exchange for the lives of the whole village?" Ford shouted at Old Man Fu, Fu Zhuang, and Ling Tian.
"Who are you? Are you very powerful? You have the ability to take out the Blood Cult in a nest, and now you beat them away, what about the future? What will happen to the stronger sect members in the future?" Ford pointed at the three of them frantically and scolded.
"Ridiculous, really ridiculous, Ford, you tell me, you agreed to the bad terms, what do you take to honor, what do you take?
"What about squeezing? It is better to squeeze than to die, and it is better to live than to die," Ford yelled, and then looked at Old Man Fu with disdain, and said:
"I know, you must want to say that it is better to die with dignity than to live for a long time, but I don't want to die, I don't want to die, they, they don't want to die", Ford roared with his head in his hands, physically and mentally exhausted.
When the old man Fu heard this, he frowned and thought deeply, and said no more.
"Village Chief, it's time for us to give up this place," one villager said in grief, standing up from the crowd with a heavy face.
"Village Chief", "Village Chief, it's time to go", "Village Chief, it doesn't matter if I die, but my relatives can't die", "Village Chief, I ......"
"Huh, don't say it, tomorrow, we will move out of here, but, I said ugly things before, in the end, if you don't find a suitable place, you don't have to blame me", the old man Fu shook his head and sighed, reluctance and helplessness filled his face.
"The outside world, how can it be so easy to mix?", Old Man Fu muttered softly, lonely and left.
Ling Tian was helpless about this, after all, he had no right to speak in this village.
On the second day, Ling Tian originally wanted to follow everyone to move out of this place, after all, Fu Zhuang was still good to him.
However, none of the old people in the village were willing to leave, yes, they were suddenly going to leave the place where they had lived for most of their lives, and whoever they were would be reluctant and resist.
Moreover, moving away from an entire village is easier said than done.
In the end, because of the insistence of many old people, the matter was closed.
"There are ten major forces in the Firmament Continent, first of all, the strongest must be the mysterious force in the Sand Demon Sea.
And the second in strength should be the Heavenly Domain: Heavenly Pavilion, the third, the regional: Hell, the fourth: the Human Domain: the Desire Sect;
And this fifth is the Blood Cult that collects taxes and fees from our village, and at the same time, it is also the second largest force in our region.
After the Blood Underworld Sect, there is still ............", Fu Zhuang introduced to Ling Tian in detail the distribution of forces in the Firmament Continent and the general strength of the major forces.
This made Ling Tian have a general understanding of this strange secret realm of the sky.
"Every force has a Creation Realm powerhouse?", Ling Tian was surprised, he didn't expect that in this secret realm, there were still Creation Realm powerhouses.
"Brother Zhuang, did you say that the Blood Netherworld Sect sent a strong person from the Tongxuan Realm?" Ling Tian knew that he didn't have the slightest chance of winning against the Tongxuan Realm, so he had to know what cultivators the Blood Netherworld Sect would send here this time, so he could prepare early.
"Tong Xuan Realm, are there a lot of strong people in Tong Xuan Realm? Judging from the importance they attach to our fallen village, they should not have sent out strong people in Tong Xuan Realm", Fu Zhuang shook his head again and again, expressing his denial.
Immediately, Fu Zhuang asked Ling Tian again: "What is your current realm?", Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Kaiyuan Triple".
"But Brother Zhuang, don't worry, my comprehensive strength is not weak, it is about the eighth or ninth level of Kaiyuan", Ling Tian planned to tell his true strength so that Fu Zhuang could be relieved.
"Okay", Fu Zhuang replied perfunctorily, obviously, he didn't believe Ling Tian's words, after all, the 16-year-old Kaiyuan Triple was already very powerful, and it was understandable that he was a little arrogant.
In the face of Fu Zhuang's perfunctory attitude, Ling Tian was also very helpless, after all, he had no way to decide what others thought.
In the room, Ling Tian, who had entered a meditative state, found that the vitality in the secret realm was much purer than that in the Star River Continent.
However, Ling Tian also felt that in this secret realm, it was as if there was an unbreakable diaphragm, hindering the cultivation of the cultivators in the secret realm.
"Huh, there are still eighty-nine days left, I have to hurry up and cultivate", Ling Tian took a deep breath, you must know that the time to go to the secret realm this time was only three months, so he couldn't waste a minute or a second............
